Fallen Fnit.—Be very careful to gather all [ 

 pinictured or decaying fruits, wliether on your ' 

 trees or ou the ground, and give them to your j 

 hogs. If you do not, tlie worms v.-hich they con- j 

 tain, and which have been the cause of their pre- 

 mature decay, will make their escape into the 

 wheat down, miffht answer the double purpose of j,,.^,j„(j_ ^uj yo^| ,^-,11 fi„j (he evils, which await 



keeping out the weevil and improving the straw 

 for fodder. 



An article on the subject of the weevil, by N. 

 & N. Nixoti first published in an Ohio pa[)cr, and ' 

 republished in the New England Farmer, vol. iv. 

 page 228, contains the following observations. 



" The in(|uirv of almost every farmer is, ' How 

 shall we |ire?erve our wheat from the weevil.' — 

 We answer, thresh it immeiliately, clean it from 

 ihe chaff, spread it in a barn or open room, an.l if 

 it acquires the least warmth stir it daily. Wn 

 have now several thousand bushels of wheat on 



tlieir visitations will increase upon you another 

 ! season. 



PEACHES. 



We are glad to perceive that our citizens are 

 paying increased atteiitioti to the cultivation of( 

 fruit, especially the peach. No spot can be more I 

 favorable for this object, and no land is better a- 1 

 dapted to the growth of fruit trees of any kind [ 

 than that which abounds here. The cultivation j 

 of fruit has hitherto been too much neglected. | 



Mr. Ezra Sawyer has presented us with some | 



, , . , ., 1, 1 c .u I I 1 peaches, from his farm, rare-ripes of excellent 



hand, which was threshed from the shock and ' ' , ' 1 ■ , ;„,.i, 



' flavor and very large. One measured nine inch- 



Irom the stai k before the weevil commenced its 

 ravages. It has been lying in garners near sixly 

 days, and has been kept cool by frequent stirring ; 

 the weevil has not touched it, and we have no 

 hesitation in saying, let their ravages be what 

 they may in the slack, wheat thus cleaned and 

 kept cool, will, in all ca.ses be free from tlio flying 

 weevil. 



"We believe they are ]>rodti'ed frnni an egg, 

 which after being laid in the grain, requires a cer- 



es and a half in circumference. — Lancaster Gaz.
