Peaches.

Please inform me whether the peach Is
twarfed upon It's own stock or some other.
Also whether there Is any man In ting
western part of the State who has had
good success In raising peach trees from
stones obtained la Canada. 1 am In favor
OF planting peach stones grown In cold
er climate than our own. r. MI. Leo
anon, NJ y. CThe peach has been worked
to some extent on the wild or Canada
plum, but without much advantage, except
In theory. 1t was thought by dwarflng
the growth somewhat, AMI causing the
shoots to ripen their wood little sooner,
the tree would be harder. But II was
found not to affect the hardness Of the
fruit buds To any degree whatever, anu
these are what we all wish to save nom
winter-kllling. We would not recommend
the practice Of working on the plum. 1t
will of course make no difference where
peach stones are grown for planting, pro
vlded they are of good, healthy, vigorous
sorts. Large quantities have been brought
froua Canada and from different portions
Of the Northern States. and IL not affected
by the ycllows, all make good trees,]

most OF your correspondents to be found
ed on experience, beg leave to inquire
how and when grape seeds are planted
Several times have tried them, without
success. RosE. Procure well-ripened
grapes, wash the seed from the pulp, and
mix them at once with moist sand or leaf
mould. bury them In open ground till
early spring. They should not be allowed
mt any time to beeome dry, and care
should likewise be taken To prevent their
becoming water-soaked. They should, In
fact. be treated as cherry-stones aud pear
seeds are managed by nurserymen. BE
careful tn secure them from mice. Plant
In Spring, In beds Of deep rich soil, In
drills q foot or two apart. aud an inch or
two apart In the drills. and about an Inch
deep. Shade the young plants for few
weeks. Provide small stakes for their
support, and mulch the surface with an
inch or SO Of good tine manure. IN dry
weather occurs, give the ground q tho.
rough soaking as often as once q week.
Lay down and cover In winter. The great
point Il deep and rich soil, So as to give
the young plants vigorous start.l

MORNING, NOVEMBER 13, 1868.
The Rsi0,, Of Awfnsnn.

The rust IL over the red of clover,
And down in the hollow he deet.wingcd swallo'
10 flying away and away.
Fled are the roses, dead are the roses,
The glow and the glory done,
And down the hollow the steel winged swallow
Flying the way Of the sun.
In place of summer dread new conner
His solemn state reviews;
A crimson splentior instead OF the tender
Daisy, and the darling dews.
but oh the sweetness, the full completeness,
That under his reign are b0rnb
uusset and yellow In apples mellow,
And wheat, and millet, and corn.
His frosts 20 hoary touch with glory
Maple and oak and thorn;
And rising aud falling his winds are calling,
Like hunter through his horn.
No thrifty sower, but just mower
That comes when the day Is done,
With warmth a.beaming and gold a.glcamlng,
Like sunset afer the sun.
And while warm weather and frost together
Color the woods sO gay,
We must remember that chill December
Has turned his steps this way.
And say, as we gather the house together
And pile the logs on the hearth,
Help us to follow the light little swallow,
Fen TO the ends Of the earth.
