Vifhieh the injury is done, and Iiave our winter 

 wheat too forward, and spring wheat not forward 

 enough, for the operations of the insect, and the 

 damage is avoided. At present, sow your winter 

 wheat as early as you can, nud sow your spring 

 ivheat as laic as you can aud give it time to ripen. 

 Farmers, and all who fiud either pleasure or 

 profit in anything made from wheat, would be 

 greatly indebted to any entomologist who should 

 make us better acquainted with the character and 

 habits of this destructive insect. — Vt. Chronicle. 



MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



SiTDRDAT, Oct. 27, 1832. 

 FRUITS EXHIBITED. 



Apples. — l?y Dr Benjamin Sliurtleff, from his 

 farm in Chelsea, a sample of natural yellow sweet 

 apples, of small size, which grow in clusters of 

 from 10 to 20 — very productive; the Committee 

 have named them ShurtUff^s Sweet. 



By Mr Jonathan Warren, Weston, two good 

 varieties of natural apples, called If'arren and 

 Parkas. 



By Thomas Williams, Esq. Chelsea, Gloria 

 Mundi, or Monstrous Pippin Apples, very large 

 and fair. 



ByR. Manning, Esq. Salem, Osgood Favoiite, Kit 

 hjim Hill, and Hubbardston .VonsiicA, all very fine. 



Pears. — By Z. Cook, Jr. Esq. Dorchester, Du- 

 '•Jiesse d' Jlngoideme pears; they fully sustained 

 their very high reputation. Also, Cuba tomatoes. 



By S. Downer, Esq. Dorchester, Beurre Diel 

 pears. 



By R. Manning, Esq. Seedling pears from Jo- 

 seph S. Cabot, Esq. Salem, Orange Bergnmot and 

 Holland Green, the latter not worthy of cultivation. 



Grapes. — By Elijah A^ose, Esq. Dorchester, 

 White Chasselas, Large Frankenthal, Black Mus- 

 cat and Violet J)Iuscat grapes — open culture — 

 the specimens were very fine for this unfavorable 

 season. By order of the Committee on Fruits, 

 &c. E. M. RICHARDS. 



Preserving Apples. — Dr T. Cooper in the Do- 

 mestic Encyclopedia, says that apples may be pre- 

 served by putting a layer of apples, and a layer of 

 dried fern, [brakes] alternately in a basket or box 

 (the latter is considered best, as it admits less air) and 

 coicr them closely. The advantage of fern in 

 inderence to straw, is, that it does not impart a 

 misty taste. 



Correction. — At the Ploughing Match at Brigh- 

 ton, with two yoke of oxen, the first premium of 

 $15 was awarded to T. H. Merriam of Grafton, 

 Miss, instead of Concord, as published. 



PRICES OF COUNTRY PRODUCE.

 inj; appearance, raised whliin six miles of Boston, in fine

SEEDS OF FRUIT TREES, FOREST 



TREES, &c.. 

 Sow the seeds of cherries, peaches, and some 

 other fruits, which are of a perishable nature as 

 soon after the fruit is ripe as possible. If such 

 seeds are kept till the next spring, they become 

 dried through, and the vegetative principle is de- 

 stroyed. Evelyn, an English writer of celebrity, 

 says that sowing acorns, beach mast, ash keys, ice, 

 in the autumn, when those seeds fall spontaneous- 

 ly from the trees, appears by much the most nat- 

 tired method; but the destruction made by the field 

 mouse, both at the time of sowing and during the 

 winter, has induced many gentlemen to prefer 

 spring sowing to the autumnal one. When spring 

 sowing is determined on, the acorns and other 

 seeds must be carefully preserved during the wiu- 

 ter; and in forming the magazines, care must be 

 taken to keep the different sorts apart from each 

 other. 



Ploughing. — It is best that most tillage land 

 should be ploughed in autumn. Fall ploughing 

 saves labor and time in the spring ; a season of 

 the year when cattle are commonly weak, and the 

 hurry of business presses on the farmer. But a 

 a soil which is sandy and light should not be dis- 

 turbed by fall ploughing, but lie to settle down and 

 consolidate through the winte'. 



For Sale. 



V handsome Bull, part of the Holderness aud part of 

 the Admiral breed. He will be three years old next 

 Mirch, and will be sold cheap. Address Isaac S. 

 Houghton, Roxbury, care of Daniel Weld & Son, 

 742 Washington Street, Boston. 4t* Oct. 31. 



Black Sea Wheat. 



JUST received a few bushels of the celebrated Black 

 Sei Wheat, described by Mr Marvin in this week's 

 Niw England Farmer, and raised by him near Lake 

 Eiie ; price $3 per bushel. It is thought this will prove 

 a valuable acquisition to New England; the seed is of rc- 

 msrkably fine appearance, wholly free from small grains 

 on mixture with other seeds, and we think cannot fail to 

 jive satisfaction. Farmers are requested to call and ex- 

 nuiue it. Oct. 24 



White Mulberry Trees. 



SIX hundred White Mulberry trees, of fine size and 

 appearance, for sale, of large and thrifty growth, 4 years 

 old from seed. Inquire at this Office, or at the Farm of

Veterinary Pump. 



M.AW'S Improved Veterinary Pump, for Administer- 

 ing Clysters to Horses, Cattle, Dogs, &c. Also, for In- 

 jecting and Extracting from the Stomach. 



By means of this Instrument any quanfity of fluid may 

 be injected with any requisite force, and without the 

 necessity of once removing the Pipe unfil the operation 

 is completed. When the animal is restless, as is usually 

 the case in Gripes and Inflammation of the Bowels, the 

 length and flexibility of the Elastic Tubeing alfords great 

 facility and security, as the operator may stand at a con- 

 iderable distance, or even in an adjoininor stall. 



For sale by Eben. Wight, Druggist, 46 Milk Street.
