AGRICULTURAL.
Experiments SUGGESTED.

A1APSi AAAOA1oo jug q Oo0Co.
Intelligent cultivators may acquire much
valuable information fol themselves as well
as for others. by instituting few inquiries
in experimenting, which will not REQUIRE
time, and which will be attended with much
interest Among the points for inquiry we
may name the following:
l. The removal of the blossoms of young
fruit or apple trees for changing the bearing
year, which may be rapidly performed with
pair of sheep-shears. This experiment is
specially recommended for young trees or
those which have not borne many years as
promising to be more permanent in its re-
suits than on old trees.
2. Try the effects of keeping the soil
clean and mellow for several feet on each
side OF Y-transplanted trees with 9th
ers where the soil is permitted to become
hard, or to be covered with weeds. Also
ascertain the relative advantages of a
mellow and mulched surface, as indicated
by the length of growth. These expert
ments may be tried on peach and other trees
as well as on apples.
3. II you have any trees which you do
not value, try linseed oil, petroleum, kero-
sene, DC, on the bark, and ascertain if the
application will kill them. Try this treat
ment on large and small trees, apples,
peach and pear. Mix the oils with water,
in other experiments, before applying. The
knowledge thus acquired may be os much
use in treating for diseases and insects.
4. Try the effnct Of cutting the roots of
orchard trees while growing, and While in a
dormant state, for determining what infu-
ence plowIng and tearing the roots NAV
have on the growth of the trees. performing
the experiment on a few trees of little value.
5. Plant trees of different kinds at differ
ent measured depths, marking each accu-
rately, to ascertain at what depth they grow
best, and produce the best plants
6. Try the effects of thinning the Young
fruit on peach, apple and pear trees with
the fruit unthinned. The apples should not
be nearer than three times the diameter of
the full-grown fruit; the peaches should be
be at least six inches apart land three-fourths
OF the fruit of well-loaded pear trees should
be taken off. Observe if this treatment
diminishes in any degree the amount of the
crop; and also how much the quality of the
fruit is mproved.-Country Gentleman.

Musical Prec0city.

Before he was eight years of age Men
delssohn excited the wonder Of his teach
ers by the accuracy ofhis ear, the strength
Of his memory, and above all, by his in
credible facility in playing music by sight.
Meyerbeer at the tender age of six
played at a concert, and three years later
was one of the best pianists at Berlin
while the genius of Beethoven showed
itself so early that his musical education
was commenced by his father at the age
OF five. When two years younger than
this, Sam Wesley, the musician, could
play ertempOre music on the organ; and
the distinguished German musical COM
poser, Robert Schumann, also showed at
very early age a strong passion for mu-
sic and remarkable talents both for play
ing and composing Though he lost the
use Of his right hand at the very outset
Of his studies, he worked on with a
giants strength, struggling against all OBJ
stacles with uncOmprOmislng devotion
to what he conceived to be the highest
interests of art" Something of the same
early development of musical abilities
displayed itself in the case of Cipriani
Potter, distinguished as a composer and
pianist; and Henrietta SOntag, a famous
singer Of her time, trod the boards when
a child, and was prima donna Of the Ber-
lin stage and the idol of the capital be-
fore she was eighteen. Madame Tiet-
jens is also said to have given indica-
tons of promising musical talents from
earliest infancy. Before she could speak
she would hum the opening notes Of Au-
bers opera, Fra Diacoio When a tod
ding child she used to create great
amusement by her efforts to sing and
play, and was quite content to be allowed
to wander among the instruments Of a
neighboring piano forte manufacturers
warehouse and make music after her own
fashion-music which was recognized
by one at least of those who heard it as
more than the STUNNING of child.
