I have for several years past applied the clay 

 paint to the buds of my grape vines. The advan- 

 tage to them seems to arise from the clay retain-

 greater length of time, when watered with the

 From the simplicity of the above method, I 

 J doubt not there are many who may not think very 

 g j highly of it ; but all I request is, that a fair trial j 

 rnay be given to it. I have had the pleasure of j 

 i seeing it very generally adopted in my neighbour- ! 

 hood by gardeners, who ridiculed it at first. I 



The syringe I use has brass noses fitted to the ' 

 end, with holes of different degrees of fineness, so i 

 that water may be thrown in large streams oi as

?oviposition vf an Unchangeable Cement. — The 

 lowing cement has been used with great suc- 

 3S in covering terraces, flat roof, lining basins, 

 idcring stones, &c. and it every where resjjis 

 ; filtration of water ; it is so hard that it 

 Tatches. 



t is formed of ninety-three parts of well burnt 



Sck or clay, and seven parts of litharge and of 



iseed oil. Nothing can be more simple than its 



luposition, or the manner' of using it. The 



lick and litharge are pulverized, the latter must 



ways be reduced to a very fine powder ; they 



e mixed together, and enougii liiueed oii added 



the mixture, to give it the consistence of thin 



taster. It is then applied in the manner of plas- 



r, the body that is to be covered being always 



eviously wetted with a sponge. This precaution 



indispensable, otherwise the oil would filter 



rough the body, and prevent the mastic from ac- 



iring the desirable degree of hardness. When 



is extended over a large surface it soriietiaies 



appcns to have flaws in it, which must be filled 



p with a fresh quantity of the cement. In three 



r four days it becomes firm.
