Cutting Hcio.nb. — Scions may he cut at any 

 time li-oni Oct. lo the time of setting. They 

 {lenerally do as well lo cnt thimi two or three 

 weeks helore setting; if well set they will suc- 

 ceed if cm at the time of setiinii', provided, the 

 j;rafun^ is done hef'ore they l)ej;in to gjow. 

 When cMJt in fidi helore the ground freezes, the 

 lietter w;iy is lo limy them five or six inches deep 

 in a liiiht soil and in the shade. 



When cnl at this season, they shoidd lie wrap- 

 ped in damp niaiiing, rnu;, or other thick cloth, 

 jaid in a close hox, and examined occasionally to 

 see that tlii^ mat is ke|it damp. 'I'hey keep hetter 

 when a larjje lot istoi;ether. There is an advan- 

 tai:e in having a loni> time to cut scions in, as it 

 is ol'ieii convenieni Id collect some Ion;: hefore

 sons have f()r cutiinir scions or setting trees at 

 sonie parlicidar point of" lime, has a very dis-

American Whale FisuEta-. — The whalinj;

 Ijer, lS4ti, of t;U8 slii|.s and liarks, 27 'la i-s, li) 

 hchonners and 1 slo(i|), wiih a tntal lonna:;e of 

 '2'iS.757 lon.«. Aloie than one-thinl of the whole 

 was owned in New Bedfurd, ami New Heilford, 

 New London, Nantnckil, ipa;,' llarhor, Fair Ha- 

 ven, Stoninpton and Warren owiu^d more than 

 ihree-fpi.-ulers of the whole. The Eiiglish have 

 abont 'JO ships en^;iued iji ll;e whale fishery, llii!

 ed anil the l''i;(;n<;li increased of late year.-'. The

The followin;; two sentences should he stroiijr- 

 )y impressed on the menioiy of the joiinjr, robust, 

 and healthy, belurc it is loo late to he o! any ad- 

 Vania^'e : 



fooil. " Excess in the use of animal and oth- 

 er sl'tmu!<iliii!f fluid is'i li ei]nen! source of di.>eu?e ; 

 it is the seinilit ttlhi, the Ir -path pmsued unw il- 

 lin^ly by many an individual, who slowly and

 use of ardent spirits is liie grand source of dis- 

 ease ; It is the liioad ap/iiuii wioj pursued by ihou- 

 tands to llie grave." — Ur. Lang. 



'J'lie principid distinction between animal and 

 vegetable prndiicis, is the presence in the one 

 case, and the absence in the olher, of nitrogen. 

 Many animal scereliuns, however, such as tin: 

 liilly oils, are der.litute of nitrogen, and many veg- 

 c'luble products, such as ^iluien and the organlr 

 alkalies, eoiiluin i'l.

How TO JUDGE CATTLE. — III all doiiiestie ani- 

 mals, the skin, or hide, forms one of llie best 

 means by which to esiimate their liittening prop- 

 erties, in the handling of oxen, if the hide be 

 found soft and silky to touch, it aflbrds a proof 

 of tendency lo take meal. .\ beast havinua per- 

 liM'l loncli will have a thick loose skin, llnating, 

 as it wi're, on a layer ol' suit fat, yielding to the 

 slightest pri'ssure, and springing back towards the 

 finger like a piece of soft leather. Such a skin 

 will be nsiinliy covered with an abundance of 

 soft, glossy hair, feeling like a bed of mossy skin, 

 lint a thick set, li.iril, short hair, always liundles 

 bard, and indicates a liurd feeder. 



Ilosii..\v Pudding. — As most of our farming 

 liiends, and, indeed, all others who can oliiain il, 

 like, occasionally, a dish of " hominy," we have 

 conclnili d lo tiai;scribe the following recipe for 

 its niannliiclnre, from an exchange. "An excel- 

 lent pudding may be made asfolhuvs: 'I'ake half 

 a pint of fine hominy, soak it one night; in the 

 morning, boil it two hours, and then proceed Ihe 

 same as in making a rice pudding. The addition 

 of an egg or two improves it." This, we pre- 

 sume, is suliicienlly definite ftir our female read- 

 ers. — Me. tanner. 



Trimming Trees. — The editor of the Mas.sa- 

 chnseits Ploughman regards the month of iMay 

 and June as the best season fiir trimming fruit 

 and liirest trees, as wounds then made heal soon- 

 er than those made earlier in Ihe season. He 

 says: "Trees and vines cease to bleed as soon 

 as the leaves appear, and from this lime till au- 

 tumn they continue lo make sapwood, (alburn- 

 bam.) anil this is the process thai serves to heal 

 wounds in trees. Very lillle wood is made till 

 the tree has fiili leali for the leaf is important lo 

 change and mature the sap that rises in the Irtmk 

 and spreads ihrongli the branches." 



The Gjiinan farmers in Pennsylvania say this 

 is the famiins " nineteei.'lh year," (the last being 

 in 18J7,) which, while il admils ol' ploughing all 

 winter, has a pniliacted Spring. In l\iaryland 

 ihe trees are budding, llflils singing, el cetera. 



Silk Cocoons. — It was, say the Chinese an- 

 nals, the wile of the Emperor iloanuTi who first 

 enirageil in spinning the cocoons which are iiulu- 

 riilly found on trees.
