a bushel, and each bushel be worth $2, this 



gives $800 per acre. The fruit is generally very 



fine on dwarf trees, and is easily and cljeaply 



gathered.

Nursery pruning in general should be per- 

 formed in winter, or towards spring, when the 

 coldest weather is over. Summer pruning 

 should be nothing more than pinching or short- 

 ening misplaced or over-luxuriant shoots, to pre- 

 serve the symmetry and proportion of the tree. 

 Small wounds made during summer heal very 

 quickly, but to deprive a tree of a considerable 

 portion of its leaves in the growing season, checks 

 the growth, and often produces debility.

It is the Rose slug. The most effectual appli-

I send you a couple of apples, a specimen of a sefedling 

 tree, which stands in tlie corner of my place. The tree has 

 never received any special attention, but is a great grower 

 and good bearer. These apples I hung up in a bag in my 

 cellar when I took them from the tree, and have done no- 

 thing to them since. A. J. CKYWoov.—Modena, Ulster 

 county, N. Y. 



The variety seems to be a good keeper, but the 

 specimens were in a depaying state before we re- 

 ceived them, and therefore we can not say thing 

 of their quality. 



Advertisements, to secure insertion in the 

 Farmer, must be received as early as the 10th uf 

 the previous month, and be of such a character 

 as to bo of interest to farmers; we publiah no 

 other. Terras — $»2 for every hundred words

WORMS! WOUHS! 

 A GREAT many learned treatises have been written, ex- 

 plaining the origin of, and classifying the worms generated 

 in the human system. Scarcely any topic of medical sci- 

 ence has elicited more acute observation and profound re- 

 search ; and yet physicians are very much divided in 

 opinion on the subject. It must be admitted, however, that, 

 after all, a mode of expelling those worms, and purifying 

 the body from their presence, is of more value than the 

 wisest d'isquisitions as to the origin. The expelling agent 

 has at length been found— Dr. M'Lane's Vermifuge is the 

 much sought after specific, and has already superceded all 

 other worm medicines, its eflicacy being universally ac- 

 knowledged by medical practitioners. 



jE^ Purchasers will please be careful to ask for Dr. 

 IV Lane's CeUhrated Vermifuge, and take none else. AU 

 other Vermifuges, in comparison are worthless. Dr. Mc- 

 Lane's genuine Vermifuge, also his Celebrated Liver Pills, 

 can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores in the 

 United Stfites and Canada.
