Another Queer Birch.

Agricultural Editor:-Mr, Wheeler's
account of "A Birch Tree" in late
issue of your paper, reminds me of
what not long ago was birch tree in
this vicinity. On a steep hillside was
an old stump, and from the top of that
old stump grew birch tree. In course
of time the old stump rotted away, leav-
ing the roots of the tree bare. They are
covered with bark like the trunk of the
tree. On the lower side is one larger
and, of course, longer than any of the
others Were it not for the other roots,
this one might be taken for continu-
alton of the trunk. / have thought,
since reading of Mr.. Wheeler's tree,
that | would measure this one, but have
not seen the time to do so conveniently.
Might not that tree, growing on the
ledge, have started from another broken
off at the place of the depression spoken
of, and the root have followed down
the old stump or log to the ground be-
low? "A. WHEELoCK.

A Prolific Sugar Tree.

Agricultural Editor: In relation to
large quantities of sugar made from
single trees in one season, / would Just
say (hough perhaps too late Tor your
use) that since l wrote you | have
heard of tree in Moretown from which
there were made in one season twenty
eight pounds from three spouts. can
give you no more facts about this tree,
as the parties are all dead and this took
place many years ago. know well
where the tree stood. / am on the
track of another tree in this town from
which large quantity was made. viii
report if successful.
