very judicious remarks on the propriety Of
thinning fruit: am quite well aware that
I need tell not such men as Mr.. Weaver that
the flavor Of fruit, bearing extreme sunless
seasons. is entirely under the control OF the
gardener. A clever man can command ha-
vor dull man. when he finds his fruit ia

Tin and Iron.

Ono of the most peculiar circumstances
connected with tin, in the chemistry OF its
manufacture, is presented by what is called
"tin-plate." A tin kettle is not, IN reality,
the article it is called; il it were, its exist
cnce would be verv evanesccnt, for tin will
not bear the requisite heat. All tin goods
of this kind are made of sheet.iron, washed
with liquid tin to shield them from rust and
from chemical action. The thin shoet.iron
is cut into quadransular sheets; and these
sheets are stepped in muriatic acid, heated
in an oven, cooled, Strengthened, and beaten
smooth, drawn between rollers, STEPPED in
bran water, picked in sulphuric acid. scour-
cd with sand and water, washed in clean wa.
ter. dipped in melted tallow drained till dry.
and rubbed with bran-an extraordinarily
complex series Of operations, considering
that the film Of tin is alter all so thin; but
all are necessary to insure an intimate juno
ton OF the two metals.
In regard to iron, the most remarkable
fact G injected with its present manufacture
Is the introduction Of the hot blast-an in.
vention which, though extremely simple, has
proved Of almost incalculable value. Before
this remarkable method was introduced, and
when only cold air was blown into the iron

To PREVENT CATTLE PROM JUMPISG.-At
late meeting OF the Am. Inst. Farmers
Club, the following novel way OF preventing
cattle from jumping fences was promulgated.
ave lately learned curious remedy to
prevent steers from jumping lenses, which is
so easy OF application, and appears so cffec'
tual, that we give it to the public. II is
simply to clip of the eyelashes OF the upper
lids with pair OF scissors; and the ability
or disposition to jump is as cffectually de-
stroyed as SIMPSONS power was by the loss
OF his locks. The animal will not attempt
a fence until the eyelashes are grown again.
OF this we are informed by Samuel Thornc,
the great breeder of Dutchcss county, who
assured us that he had tested it upon very
brcachy pair Of oxen. As it was Of great
value to him he hopes it will be tried by 9th
