■shis practice is feasible in our country, it would 

 be rash to assert ; it is, however, worthy of inves- 

 tigation and perliaps of trial. 



The juice of carrots, added to cream, in winter, 

 will give tlie butter made therefrom, the flavor 

 and appearance of thai made in summer. [Feed- 

 ing tlie cows with carrots is better]. 



A table spoonful of unslacked lime, given to 

 horses, regularly with their water or food, for three 

 or four days, {night and morning) will completely 

 expel the bols. 



Water, in which potatos have been boiled, will 

 protect cabbages, turnips, and ^ines, from the ra- 

 vages of flies and bugs. 



It is a safe maxim, tliat grain should never be 

 sown but when the ground is laid down to grass, 

 or ploughed from it. 



It is remarked by Sir .John Sinclair, that neither 

 wheat or rye straw should be given to mules, as 

 it disagrees with them, and will render them un- 

 fit for labor.

 to draw bog and swamp earth into the barn yard. 



INOCULATION OF FRUIT TREES. 



The best season for inoculating or budding fruit 

 trees extends from the middle of July to the end 

 of August, and includes all those days when the 

 bark can be separated from the tree without inju- 

 ry to the buds. The praises often bestowed on 

 this opeiiftion as a means of changmg the kinds 

 and introducing new varieties of fruits into the 

 orchard, are often too general to be correct. — 

 Grafting has been found much preferable on the 

 pear, apple, and all stocks which will bear the ap- 

 plication of the saw and knife. The scion once 

 set, and any man can insert a graft with success, 

 it grows rajjidly and vigorously ; requires no otlicr 

 care than pruning the shoots which might drink 

 too deeply of the juices perhaps once during the 

 •season,— and having passed tlie first year rises 

 into a fair and hcaltliy top, firm enough to resist 

 the pelting of the storm and the tossing of winds. 

 The bud demands constant care, to loosen the 

 ■ bandages, to tlun and lop away the branches 

 above its insertion, and after much pains bestow- 

 ed is liable to numerous accidents, — a careless 

 finger may touch it too rudely — an insect may 

 gnaw av/ay its head,— a blast of wind may sepa- 

 rate its connection, and if it escape all these per- 

 ils, it will be less firm than the graft. For llje 

 peach, plum and other trees from which gum ex- 

 udes on being wounded, and for bushes and plants 

 too slender to admit of the insertion of grafts, bud- 

 ding may be applied with advantage, and indeed 

 is the only method which can be used to obtain 

 the desired varieties of fruits. The Rose, well 

 deserving the rank assigned to it in poetry, as the 

 empress of flowers, having in its almost countless 

 varieties a whole republic of queens, may easily 

 be changed by this process, so that the same bush 

 may be covered witli blossoms of all possible tints 

 and every form of beauty, and a single garden pot 

 exhibit all the colors of the rainbow, and all the 

 combination of leaves which wide shrubberies can 

 exhibit. The wild briars which spring spontane- 

 ously by the way sides form hardy and vigorous 

 stocks for the insertion of the more delicate of the 

 cultivated species of roses, and the experiments 

 for ornamenting their stems with chaplets of fair 

 blossoms may furnish the reader "with amusement 

 if it lead to no more useful result. — JVai. .f,'£-fs. 



Plums, Peaches, S,-c. how ke}>t fresh through the 

 year. —Beat well up together equal quantities of 

 honey and spring water ; pour the mixture into 

 an earthen vessel ; put in the fruits all freshly 

 gathered, and cover them quite close. When any 

 of the fruit is taken out, wash it in cold water, and 

 it is fit for immediate use. 



The fumes of brimstone are useful in removing 

 spots or stains in linen, &c. : thus, if a red rose 

 be held in the fumes of a brimstone match, tlie 

 colour will soon begiu ito change, and, at length, 

 the flower will become white. By the same pro- 

 cess, fruit stains or iron moulds may be removed 

 from linen or cotton cloths, if the spots be pre- 

 viouslj' moistened with water. 



Negotiations have been once more commenced 

 between His Majesty's Ministers and the Govern- 

 ment of the United States, for reopening the com- 

 merce between the British West India Islands and 

 the ports of the Union. Montreal Courant. 



The editor of the Milledgevillc Recorder states, 

 " that the district of country round Milledgevillc, 

 including a territory of forty miles square, is in- 

 debted to the banks to the amount of two millions 

 of dollars."
