revival or Peach Trees.

A discovery Of no small moment in the
interests Of Agriculture has been made by
DIR. George Z. Wood, and communicated
by him to the American Philosophical So
ciety, Of which he is President.
Peach trees in this vicinity, after produ-
cling q few crops, not only cease bearing,
but perish, themselves, in 4 short time,
whereas, their natural life is fifty or SIXTY.
years or more. The cause Of this defective.
power Of growth is believed by DR.. Wood,
to be owing to a deficiency Of potash in
the soil, and he assures US that If thisal
kali be supplied to the tree so that it shall
reach the small roots and be absorbed, the
fruit bearing power is restored, and the
fruit itself, if p~rematurely perishing. isre-'
vived.
Believing with most persons, that the
u of decay lay in worms at worms the
root Of the peach tree, he put in operation
q plan which he had seen his father per-
form more than fifty years before, digging
around the base Of the stem n hole four
or five inches deep, scraping away all the
worms that could be found ~burrowing at
the junction of the stem and root, and I'LL
ing the hole thus made with fresh wood
ashes from the FIRE, which, OF course, re-
tanned all their potash. This was done in
the autumn of 1865, and with a result in
the following spring. at which he himself
was astonished. The tees appeared TO
have been restored to all their early fresh
ness and vigor, they put forth bright
green leaves, blossomed copiously, and
bore a crop Of fruit such as they had new
er borne before, many of the branches
breaking down under the load Of peaches.
DR.. Wood, in rejecting on these results,
and noticing that several Of the peach
trees treated had no worms, come to the
conclusion that we must look for an expla-
nation to some other cause than the de-
struction of q few worms, and this cause
he believes to be the ashes, the potash Of
which being dissolved by the rains, had
descended along the roots to the r~ootlets,
and presented TO them the very food for
the want Of which they were dying. De-
caying apple trees bearing stinted and in
edible fruit have been revived by a SINH
lar process- and with the like results

has heretofore done. From the fact that
the barriers to the free intercourse of ma

guage must diminish. Language must be
acknowledged to be a science, and should
be governed by laws rather than idle ca
