istenee as best it could, by slow and
notvery sure process, as before we
adopted this theory, which all scien-
tific men who have seen it have pro-
nounced a great discovery. We not
unfrequently killed trees by such
ruthless butchery before we discov-
cred this process of propagating. 1t
was never adopted by any other per-
son but myself until / had Dractlced
it for three or more years, and do
not know of more than two or three
of my friends who are now practic-
ing it.
The old theory of nurserymen was
TO cut off the top so that the bud
might enjoy all Of the forces of the
root to give it growth. This plain
law OF nature will give ten-fold or
more OF growth than the old system.
Before go farther, and lest l may
forget it, wish especially to request
you not to publish, Or permit to be
published, anything that / have here
written, as l have already promised
by friend, the publisher Of the Sema-
Tropical, to prepare an article tor
publication in that journal upon this
subject. There is much more to be
said, and for publication the matter
should be more carefully written than
what | have given here.
In inserting buds l now insert
them upwards instead of downwards
into the slit prepared for them, as
this gives a water shed to prevent
rains from getting in and diluting the
flow of sap. Besides, when the bud
unites, or commences to heal, it inva-
riably commences to heal from the
top, thus proving the theory Of the
return flow of the sap between the
bark and the tree | am entirely
confident there are no such trees
grown in the world as grow in my
garden, and l am also persuaded
that l more frequently get blossoms
and fruit within one year after bud
ding than any one else i'll Florida
does in three years.
l do not by this say that I expect
to get either blossoms or fruit the
first year after budding, though l as
frequently do SO as others do in three
years, and it is no uncommon cir
cumstance to get blossoms and good
fruit setting in seven or eight months
after budding in two, three and four
year-old stocks. Quite number OF
my two and three-year old stocks,
budded in July, last season, a year
ago, blossomed and SEE fruit in the
following February.

hurriedly this evening, and it is now
too late to continue this subject fur.

may be aided to gather CROUCH from
it to interest, if not to instruct you.

Preparation Of Poultry Manure.

By W. H. White, in the Country Gentleman.
Frequent inquiries are made
through our agricultural journals
how to dispose of fowl manure. what
crops it is best adapted to, ETC. If
there is suitable care in saving this
fertilizer, it is one of the best ma.
nures made on the farm but there
must be roosts, and the fowls confined
to them at night, under suitable shell.
ter, where the droppings may be
kept dry and be easily saved. Fowl
manure and guano are identical in
action; the value OF each seeming to
be owing to the large amount of am
monia which it contains. Both are
very powerful, and must be used
with extreme caution, after being
well reduced by mixture with other
substances which will cause them to
part with their caustic qualities grad
ually. For this purpose, finely pull
verized clay, dry loan, muck and
gypsum are good. Lime, wood ashes
and likesubstances are not economical
for mixing with fowl droppings, as
they weaken the strength by liberat-
ing or driving of the ammonia.
Properly prepared, fowl manure
may be applied to any crop, field OF
garden, but it is more economically
applied in the hill or drill. AS to
saving it, probably as easy and good
way as any is TO have tight floor
beneath the roosts to receive the
droppings; over this spread thinly a
sprinkling OF earth Or muck, and as
often as once a week clean the whole
off and deposit it in bin, or in a pile,
where it will remain free from mois-
ture till desired for use. Just before
wishing to use it, spread it on a tight
floor, little at time, and fine it bv
pounding and breaking all Jumps, SO
that it will pass through a seive of
ons;laaEah inch rAsss IN vel
When completed, iet Che mixture, be
proportioned nearly as follows: One
part OF droppings to two OF earth or
muck, and if one part of plaster to
UioPPln2S is ADDED, 1T will
De the better. This may now be APP
piled at the rate of one gill, or a tribe
more, to the nil of corn, or in like
proportion to other crops; but it is
better that the seed should not come
IN contact with it, out that there be
covering Of soil between. When
carefully saved, as above, TWENTY-FIVE
fowls will furnish manure sufficient
Tor an acre Of corn, producing an eft.
fect equal to that Of the best tertiliz-
ers. homemade manure is the cheap
est, and generally the best-we GER
talnly know its composition-and
should be relied on as far as can be

A Novel Way of Preserving Grapes.
1t is said that the Chinese have a
method OF preserving grapes during
the entire year by cutting circular
piece out OF "a ripe pumpkin, or gourd,
making an aperture large enough to
admit the hand. The interior is then
completely cleaned out, the ripe
grapes are placed inside and the
cover replaced and pressed in firmly.
The pumpkin is then kept in cool
place, and the grapes will be found
to retain their freshness for very
long time.

FUNDING THE DEBT SF HuNTERDoN Co.
The statement of Jskeph Smith, Esq,
Freeholder, Sd Ward Of 9is city, in the issue
of The RECORD of Dec. 18th, is subject
for taxpayers to ponder over.
$4,000 Of debt hanging over the citizens
of Hunterdon County, and liable at any mo-
ment to be increased, from the casualties OF
the elements, fire aud water, which may Gre
ate the necessity of prompt expenditure OF
money, should be promptly and securely pro-
vided for.
There is no method more sure and efHca-
cious than the issuing of bonds and providing
for the interest and their redemption--as dem
onstrated by the plan Of Mr.. Smith.
A county of the wealth, resources and in
tegrity of Hunterdon, is entitled to all the f.
nancial advantages, that the laws and usages
of commerce bestows upon community, and
with good credit four per cent. is fair re-
turn to capitalists, and under proper regula-
tions, the Taxpayers of Hunterdon County
are entitled to the beuetits, and if by the ar
rangement that Mr.. Smith suggests. the in
terest on the bonds and portion of the prin-
cipal of the debt can be paid without increas-
ing the burthen of taxation on the people II

COURT PkocEEpINGs.-On Monday of last
week the Court OF Quarter Sessions convened
for the trial of indictments.
The State v. Thomas Trainor. James Mo
Indictment for breaking and entering and
stealing property of Geo. w 7Smitl, atlThree
Bridges. The attendants were seen outside
the Fair Grounds ON the evening Of the last
day Of the Fair, and one of them Nc Dsnald
was recognized as being seen at Three
Bridges that might. When the night freight
train on the Easton and Amboy Railroad
reached Three Bridges the conductor was in
formed Of the burglary, and kept q lookout
for the thieves. When about mile west of
N shanic he passed five men, and afterwards,
while stopping at Neshanic, saw some climb
upon the train. At Bound Brook the con
ductor. without stopping the train, sent tel
egram ahead, stating that he was supposed to
have thieves on board, and when they reached
Metuchin five men were discovered ON a
freight car of the train. The conductor there
locked tile door, and anotlssr car was brought
up for the purpose of transferring the men,
When the door was unlocked, the first man
who came out stepped upon box iu the car,
reached the roof of the car and the roof Of
the station, swung himself to the top of the
car, ran TO the rear of the train, jumped down
and escaped. The other four men, being the
prisoners, were secured. and the next day
they were lodged in the Pennington jail. Part
of the property stolen from Smith was found
in the car in which were the defendants. The
stories of the defendants were that they each
got in the car separately, at different places
along the road that they had no acquaint-
ance with each other, and had never spoken
together before meeting in the car that they
did not know the name of the man who es-
capped, and had never seen him before that
they had nothing to do with the burglary,
and did not know how the stolen property
came to be in the car. Verdict, guilty.
The same defendants were brought to trial
upon an Indictment for breaking and enter
ing the depot of the Easton and Amboy Rail-
road Company, at Pennington Junction, on
the same night, and after the evidence was
partly in, retracted their plea of not guilty,
aud pleaded non cult. They also pleaded non
cult to an indictment for assault and battery
while attacking the stand of one Griffin, near
the Fair Grounds, the same evening. One
William Farrell was joined with the other
four in this last Indictment.
