serves a place in the farmer's gurilen, and will 

 liberally repay the expense of "ciillivaticm. It 

 should be propagated and pruned in every respect 

 like the raspberry, hut being somewhat larger, re- 

 quires more room. It is very nnich disposed to 

 tlirow off young shoots from the roots, and unless 

 great care is taken to destroy them, they will 

 spread, and fill the ground, uud soon niak(! an im- 

 penetrable wild. But this is no diiiicult task, if 

 the .s))ace between the rows is well wrought, and 

 kept, as it ought to be, (piite Uiin from grass <h- 

 Weeds. 



The bramble, as well as the several kinds of 

 rasjilierries, do not ripen their fruit at once, but in 

 succession, for several weeks, as if designed to 

 court our notice, and bounlifolly to rewaid the 

 care we may bestow upon their cidtivatinn, by a 

 frefpient offer of their bounties. The fruit should 

 be regularly gathered as it comes to iierfectimi, 

 and be directly used after being picked ; for al- 

 though they may remain goorl on the bush a few 

 days after being ripe, if kept in the house a single 

 day, they will be found to have lust imich of their 

 delicious flavor. 



A i)lantation of these shrubs will come to per- 

 fection in three or four years, aiifl if nursed as 

 above directed, will continue fruitful for eight or 

 ten years. It should then be grubbed u|), and en- 

 tirely renewed. Two years, however, before this, 

 a new quarter for this fruit should be prejiar- 

 ed.

Curious Discovery.— T^he \mh\ic have heard a 

 great ileal, and more than enough, of late year.s, 

 of the merits and advantage of a particular instru- 

 ment intended to supersede, in some cases, thai 

 niost ilreadful operation, the cutting for the ston-. 

 T'le instrument in qitejtion is so contrived that il 

 may be introdui-eil into the bladder with ease b-

 to open into three or four slender l)ranches, hy

Cabbages. — Dr Johnson, in bis Jom-ney to the 

 Hebrides, remarks that before the Scottish peas- 

 antry accpiired cabbages, from seeds left by Cron;- 

 well's soldiers, they had acquired nothing. 



Everlasting Potato. — This root is ever ready to 

 afforii a supply of early potatoes from one end of 

 the year to the other: they are left undisturbed, 

 except when a dish is wanted ; they are not deep- 

 ly embedded, but soon discovered on stirring the 

 surface mould. The flower seems somewhat dif- 

 ferent from that of the common potato. They 

 should be planted about the latter end of I\Iay ; 

 if planted sooner, they come too enrlj'. Before 

 frost sets in, the bed is covered with litter as a 

 protection from its influence. They are taken up 

 at Christmas, as tine new potatoes, and are either 

 suffered to remain imdistm-bed, or perhajis, what 

 is still better, the potatoes are completely forked 

 up as they are wanted, and the smallest being 

 separated are set a|)art for seed, under a heap, or 

 hillock ; to be replanted towards the close of the 

 succeeding May. The smallest sprigs of this po- 

 tato will grow. — Gardener's Magazine.
