Ti«« opinion i» becoming quite general that our 

 springs arc colder and more variable, aod the frail 

 eron fur If" certain, then in former year*, Thtre 

 Is a disposition, we know, to magnify the erita we 

 ere compelled to endure, and to think too lightly of 

 onr greatest though common blessing! ; aod we 

 f have done, moralize on this point, 

 and endeavor to show that this evil of which there 

 is much complaint, is not real bat imaginary, and 

 that there haa been no change. We despair, bow- 

 ever, or being able to convince our peach-growera, 

 ably aswc Bdght reason. In former years, as reg- 

 ular iv« the season came round, they sold hundreda 

 ids Of baskets of luscious fruit, and 

 i ba golden harvest. It would be bard to 

 convince tbcro that the vacuum in their unused 

 patch basket*, and in their pocketa, is not real but 

 imaginary ; or that the almost leafless, dying trees 

 are a> healthy and vigorous as they were ten years 

 ip. one or our largest and most expe- 

 rienced fruit growers declared that in over twenty 

 years' experience he had known but two failures of 

 the peach crop. Now, we are sorry to say, a good 

 crop seems to be the exception. And this result 

 cannot be attributed to want of care, or to the age 

 of the trees— for we believe as much care is given 

 Ibcm as at any other time, and our farmers and 

 fruit fTO WCrt have continued to plant with the 

 the greatest courage and perseverance. Morepencb

 in some parts of Europe, where this cannot be the 



Tbe seasons are beyond our control, but there arc 

 other things lessening our fruit crop in a fearful 

 degree, and which um-t he charged to the careless-

 rapid increase of insects. With the increase of 

 fruit culture, which furnishes tlicm the meiins of

the frosts which oeei 



many localities. Our last English winter, in fact, 

 might have answered for the South of Italy, by it* 

 immunity from frost, and generally clear, bright 

 weather. Very early in February, a number of 

 shrubs were fast breaking into leaf, and Apricots 

 opening their blooms; during March all went on 

 unchecked, so much so, that by the beginning of 

 April, notwithstanding tbe severe frost of March 

 oodlauds and pasture grounds pre- 

 sented all the appearances usually shown by the 

 first week in May, and every description of garden 

 produce portook also of the general earliness of the 

 On tbe 31st of March we had 10" of frost, 

 which, following after a snow tbe previous even- 

 ng, did o vast amount of mischief to such fruit trees 

 n bloom, besides destroying in several places the 

 crops of Apricots, which were then of u considern- 

 Peaches had partly set, and suffered 

 less throughout the country; and early 

 Pears and Plums also. Tbe weather became 

 varmer, and the 4th, 5tb, 6th and 7th of April were 

 'emarkable for their great heat, tbe day tempera- 

 ure having been 69,' in this neighborhood on the 

 'tb.nnd between 70° and 80 l the greater part of

 rxt became seDsibly colder, and on the 14th and 

 following days, indications of winter made their 

 >wed by snow storms, cold north- 

 frosty nights. On tbe morning of 

 tbe 20tb we had 8' of frost, accompanied by an 

 *astorly wind ; this frost bus almost completed the 

 ruin of our crops of Pears, Plums and Cherries, ex- 

 cepting perhaps those in some favored locality, or 

 had ample protection, a thing almost impos- 

 sible to effect within the means of an ordinary gar- 

 den expenditure, to say nothing of orchards and 

 open garden fruits."

 the consequent uncertainty of the fruit crop, Or-

 becoming a substitute for the old brick walls. 

 These we have before described, but like grape 

 houses, and all glass structures, they are expen- 

 e, and this will prevent their general adoption 

 this country, if not in England. The FCorUt 

 prciposea a plan " to ensure crops of fruit without 

 the assistance of glass," which the following de- 

 scription and engraving will make plain: 



'■To render onr meaning clear, we will Like a 

 south wall, cropped, say with Peaches and Apri- 

 cot*; take the wall 14 feet high, and tbe border 

 at 14 feet wide. Let the soil the whole width be 

 dulv prepared for fruit trees, ns it generally is near 

 the wall Tor the Peaches. We would then throw 

 an arched trellis, springing two feet from the 

 ground at frout over the border, to within five or 

 six feet of the wall, under which we would plant 

 other kinds of fruit trees for covering the trellis, 

 soy the best kinds of Pears and Plums on south 

 aspects; Cherries, Plums and Pears on east and 

 west borders; and Warrington Gooseberries and 

 laic Currants on north aspects. The accompany- 

 ing diagram represents the wall and trellis, and 

 will help to show- tbe plan of protection recom- 

 mended. When it is wished to put on the protect- 

 iui: material, the upright (.-,) which, however.may 

 be permanent, should be set up, to hold the front 

 horizon t a) bar, and strips of wood, iron bars, or 

 even cordage, run up every eight or ten feet from 

 the front horizontal bar to the one under the cop. 

 iogig.) If the strips are not considered sufficiently 

 strong to sustain tbe covering, wooden uprights

STRAWBERRIES. 



Mrssrs. Enirons; — I notice in the Rckal of 

 June 10th an article signed I. W, Uriogs, in favor 

 ol tbe Wilson Stalling. Iu your remarks it is 

 intimated that if tho Wilton had been subjected 

 to the same treatment as Jlovey't Seedling and the 

 Early Scarlrt, its fruit would have presented a 

 similar appearance. I do not assert the contrary, 

 but desiring that tbe relative merits of these va- 

 rieties may be fairly placed before tbe public, and 

 admitting at tbe same time that one experiment 

 in one locality may not afford conclusive evideuce, 

 I submit the following (acts. 



In the Spring of 1660 M. Qoixdv, of St. Johns- 

 ville, procured a number of each of the above 

 named varieties. They were set iu the same plot 

 of ground, tended by the same person, and culti- 

 vated with the same care. Very soon after plant- 

 ing the Wilton exhibited a more vigorous and 

 healthy growth, but it was not until tbe following 

 summer that its greater excellence became fully 

 manifest. Then its vast superiority in size and 

 quantity of fruit became strikingly apparent. Not 

 only were the berries, on an average, full oue-balf 

 larger, but tbe quantity by measure was three or 

 four times ns grest. In flavor this berry is con- 

 sidered, by many, quite equal to cither Hovey't 

 Seedling or Early Scarht, and it is certainly not 

 inferior as nmaiket fruit. J, W. Qirumr.

 but to prevent our readers from getting tbe erro-

ductive, had they been composed of the Wilson 

 instead of the 1U>vt>j aud i'-u-ty ScirUt. We have 

 be Wileon grown as large as the Ifcvey. 

 we expressed our opinion of its merits 

 nd have no reason yet for changing a 

 word:—" WUton't Albany thus far proves to be 

 scdlngly productive— indeed, we know of nolh- 

 liko it. The fruit is borne in immense clus- 

 , on a very strong fruit-stalk, but still not 

 Dg enough to bear op the extraordinary weight 

 ruit. The plant grows with great vigor. The 

 t is from medium to large, and irregular in

 pleasant mixture of sweet and acid."

 would grow strawberries by single plants, at least

 of space about afoot wide between the rows. Keep

 of well-rotted manure every time the plants are 

 dug under.

 If we understand our correspondent, tbe dilli- 

 Jty in his mind is that the seedling should par- 

 take of the character of the parents, when it is 

 known that "grapct", like apples, grow very un- 

 n from tbe seed." This is true, and so it is 

 of strawberries and other fruits, nnd yet we often 

 in a new variety a strong resemblance to the 

 parents, to one, perhaps in foliage and habit of 

 owlh, and to the other in fruit. The plants 

 ised from the same seed will also differ much in 

 aracter, some resembling one parent, some nn- 

 her, some, perhaps, very little of either. We 

 will give a chapter on Hybridization before long.

CHICKEN PIE AND TNDIAN PUDDING. 



Take two full-grown chickens, (or more if they 

 lull,) disjoint them and cut the back bone, 

 i small as convenient. Boil them with a few 



Ac, 



..ill r .,l 



ugh t 



let them boil quite tender, then take out tbe breast 

 bone. After they boil and the scum is taken off, 

 put in a little onion, cut very fine, not enough to 

 taste distinctly, but just enough to flavor a little; 

 rub some parsley very fine when dry, or cut fine 

 when green, this gives u pleasant flavor; season 

 well with pepper and salt, and a few ounces of 

 good fresh butter. When all is cooked well, have 

 liquid enough to cover tbe chicken, then beat up 

 two eggs and stir in, also sonic good sweet cream. 

 Line a five quart pan with a crust made like soda 

 biscuit, only more shortening, put in the chicken 

 and liquid, then cover with a crust the same as the 

 lining. Bake till the crust is dono and you will 

 have a good chicken pie. 



Inoian Pudoixo.— Boil a quart of water, put in 

 a little salt, stir in corn meal while boiling till 

 quite stiff Tote it oil" the fire and stir in cold 

 new milk till thin enough to level itself. Heal up 

 three eggs and stir them in the halter. Butter a 

 pudding dish, put in the mixture, and let it bake 

 nn hour and a half. Serve with good, rich sweet 

 cream and sugar. A Fa hubr's Wi vs.

 farmers' wives aud daughters to contribute some- 

 thing in the shape of good recipesfor the domestic 

 corner of "our Bout," I will ofler one or two 

 which I think good. 



BbBP Fie.— Take nice white potatoes, pare and 

 slice thin, boil in just water euougb to cover them. 

 When done have ready the paste, put in a deep 

 dish, place layers of potatoes and beef, (which 

 must also be cut in small, tbin slices,) alternately 

 until the dish is full, then cover with u nice crust, 

 and bake thirty-five minutes. To be served warm. 

 Call in your papa, husband, or lover, us the case 

 may he, nnd try it 



Crullkhb.— Here is a recipe for crullers which 

 1 consider superior to any others I have tried. 

 Take seven spoonfuls of coffee sugar and seven 

 egg, well beaten, or a spoonful of sugar to each 

 more or less, add a little salt, aud season to 

 your laste. Fry in nico while lard until a light 

 brown. A quarter of a dried apple put in tbe fat 

 while frying, will prevent them celling too brown. 



Coackib Fie— Correction, — In the Renal, of 

 ay 28tb I noticed a recipe for cracker pie. The 

 recipe is a good one, with the exception that the 

 chief ingredient is omitted. Ono cup of sugar 

 should be added. I take the liberty to mention 

 this to save pies from being spoiled, and the recipe 

 being condemned, which is a good one in a 

 scarcity of fruit— AriNT CiiAnirv, / J
