Orchards.

In Chloe the inhabitants possess
maryellously short method of max
ing an orchard at the lower bart Of
almost every branch. small, conical,
brown, wrinkled points project these
are always ready to change into roots
as may sometimes be seen where any
mud has been splashed against the
tree. A branch as thick as a mans
thigh is chosen in the early spring,
and is cut off just beneath a group Of
these points, all the smaller branches
ere Topped of, and it is then placed
about two feet deep in the ground
During the ensuing summer, the stump
throws out long shoots, and sometimes
even bears fruit; / was shown one
which had produced rs many as twenty
three apples, but this was thought
very unusual. In the third season the
stump is changed iato a well wooded
tree, loaded With fruit.

Bushing Tomatoes.

Those who love good tomatoes,
will take pains to cultivate them so
as to insure them as near as may be in
their full perfection There is no 9TH
er fruit that delights more in air and
sunshine than the tomato. They
should have, therefore, abundance of
room, and the vines be sustained from
falling to the earth. Stout brush
firmly set around the plants, answer
the purpose better that any other
method. The branches have room to
extend themselves as they like, while
the limbs Of the brush keep them in
their positions. By this method the
fruit is more fully exposed to the ge-
nial Influences of the air and sunshine;
whereby it attains more del clio rs
favor, larger size, and comes quicker
to maturity.

Chinese Sugar Cane.


In proof that cane which produces
ripe seed looses its sweetness and juice
and becomes dry and pithy, ! would
simply say that made it my particu-
lar business, while my cane was grow
ilg, to determine its peculiarities, so
far as / could that / might know how
to cultivate it proftabIy. Icut stalks
every few days, after it tasseled out,
until dead ripe. and found that before
the seed was full in the milk the juice
had a greenish, unpleasant taste, all
though very sweet; when it was full size
it had no unpleasant taste, the inner
portion of the stalk was about as
sweet as sugar candy, and the stalk
perfect. When the seed began to
turn dark on the tip Of the heads, ]
found small hollow forming in the
center of the stalk next to the head,
and as the seed ripened, this extended
down the stalk from one-halfe to tow
thirds its entire length, and the stalk
had q pithy appearance. The juice
about this hollow became fiat and in-
sipid, with but little sweetness, and
tasted very much like the last run Of
maple sap after the buds have started.
The lower joints of this same stalk
would usually remain sound and very
sweet, while the upper portion as the
seed ripened, became nearly dry, and
very much resemble the inside ola ripe
eorn-stalk. From these observations
/ came to the conclusion that when
that seed is fully formed and about to
turn dark, then the stalk is at the high
est state of perfection for use, and
viii make either sugar or syrup, as you
desire, that after the seed ripens it be-
comes unfit for syrup or suga. RS. e.

The trade, and private use, the propri-

workmen, and nothing leaves the es-

all work cannot but prove acceptable

the Carriage and Wagon Making

sufficiently experienced to be capable

nothing is overdrawn - nothing en-

generally of the friends of the Conycption
movement. The opposers of the Conven-
ton policy, of course, were not expected to
