GRAFTING OLD FRUIT TREES. 
The grafting and i nnovation of old orch¬ 
ards is an important and seasonable subject, 
so we give room to the following sensible 
remarks by a correspondent of the German¬ 
town Telegraph: 
Very few operators appear to be aware 
of the fact that, in all trees, the superior 
or topmost branches, have “ a decided mo¬ 
nopoly over the rest, in vigor and absorp¬ 
tion of sap.” Tliis tact, so obvious on in¬ 
spection, suggests the necessity of commen¬ 
cing at the top, in grafting, and continuing 
the work downward from year to year, in¬ 
stead of beginning at the lower or interme¬ 
diate limbs, and progressing upward, as is 
the practice with most. It is a very inju- 
metliod to deprive the tree ol its entire iol- 
iage at once, thus leaving the tru.ik in a 
measure sapless, and liable to disease or 
death. It is also inadvisable to inserts ions 
in limbs over one inch in diameter, as they 
rarely do so well in larger sized branches, 
in consequence of the supply of sap be¬ 
ing less; small, healthy limbs, on an old 
diseased tree, assuming somewhat the na¬ 
ture of parasites, absorb or monopolize, most 
of the fructifying fluid, leaving the diseased 
and sickly members of large size, deficient 
in a great measure, oi vitalizing tiuid. 
It is always a good plan, before com¬ 
mencing the operation of grafting on an old 
tree, to attempt its regeneration, and to in 
crease, as far as practicable, the copiousness 
and energy of its circulation. r l his is prac¬ 
ticable by several methods. Even where 
the centre or “heart wood” has become 
decayed and rotten, and scarcely more than 
a shell remains, shallow digging about the 
roots—care being had not to sever or seri 
ously lacerate any of the superficial laterals 
—and the application ot a small quantity of 
well compounded compost, will generally 
rejuvenate a tree, however great may be its 
age. Were trees stowed in places which 
facilitates the turning of road wash about 
the roots, they may speedily be regenera¬ 
ted; this species of irrigation acting almost 
immediately upon the circulation, as the 
water is compiously imbued with salts and 
saline matters, which produce a most vigor¬ 
ous and salutary effect. A friend of mine 
whose orchard was situated on the side of 
a gentle slope, with an extensively traveled 
thoroughfare upon the upper side, finding 
that his trees were failing in health and 
productiveness, opened a number ot small 
drains from the latter in such a manner as 
to secure th$; benefits of irrigation to each 
individual tree. The effect was wonderful; 
every tree took an almost instantaneous 
star., threw out a mass of young and vigor¬ 
ous shoots, and produced more fruit in a 
single season than for years before. On the 
subject of grafting old trees, a late writer 
observes: 
“ Respecting the size and age of trees for 
grafting, it seems not to be known that 
vigor and not years, is the turning point ot 
practicability. No one has lived long 
enough in our country to see a well con¬ 
ditioned apple-tree (we mean one in a moist, 
fertile soil, with a little road wash, and not 
having too many of its top roots torn off with 
the plow,) die with age; and we could point 
to one, some twelve feet in diameter, and 
an hundred years old, a perfect model for 
grafting; — and when done an orchard in 
itself; and what is more, productive in three 
years.” 
Some cut down their old trees, suppos¬ 
ing it to be an impossibility to bring them 
again to a bearing state, if they would ex¬ 
pend the same amount of time and labor 
in trimming, digging about the roots, and 
manuring, that they expend in cutting 
down their trees and clearing away the rub¬ 
bish, they would find themselves the pos¬ 
sessors of valuable orchards which, in a few 
years would net them more than three times 
the amount of income realized from the 
circumjacent soil. Apples, in this country, 
with the present extended foreign demand 
for American fruit, must always command 
a remunerating price, to say the least. 
On Setting Fuuit Trees. —Mr. Win. G. 
Churchill, of Deerfield, N. II., inquires 
whether it would not be well in setting 
standard apple trees, to let them lean to the 
south in order to avoid the sun scald. lie 
observes that a large part of the treesinthat 
vicinity lean to the north-western direction, 
which he attributes to the prevalence of 
south-easterly winds. 
In any location where winds generally 
prevail in one direction, there is an advan¬ 
tage in setting the tree leaning a little to 
the windward; and in case the wind is in a 
southern direction, there is the additional 
advantage in avoiding the powerful effects of 
the sun oil the trunk. But this effect of the 
sun is less on the apple than on the cherry 
and pear tree.— New-England Farmer.

articles. The work increases in merit, and 
should be liberally sustained.

It takes its name from the resemblance 
of its beautifully speckled skin to the Trout, 
and when in perfection, says Ilovey, “it is 
deeply colored with vermillion, and profuse¬ 
ly covered with grayish russet dots, which 
are margined or rayed with crimson.” The 
growth of the tree is rapid, and in the color 
of the wood it more resembles an apple 
than a pear. It is very productive; fine 
grained, and of melting buttery flavor. 
P. Barry, Esq.,—who has grown it for 
many years—in his new work, “The Fruit 
Garden,” speaks of it as follows:—“A 
beautiful German pear, finely speckled, but¬ 
tery, melting,and rich; succeeds well on 
the quince ; bears early and profusely.” 
Late autumn. 
Mr. Downing says': “It fully sustains its 
high foreign reputation with us.” 
Mr. Thomas puts it down as “second 
rate” and “a pear of great beauty.” 
PLASTER FOR STRAWBERRIES, 
The columns of the Rural New Yorker 
are generally filled with the most useful 
and interesting matter; but the recommen¬ 
dation of your correspondent M. G. W., to 
apply plaster to strawberry vines, as being 
beneficial, is so directly contrary to my own 
experience in that matter, that I thought it 
might be of some use to some one of your 
thousands of readers, 
About forty years ago there was an 
abundance of fine strawberries in almost 
every uncultivated meadow in the vicinity 
where I then lived, but the boys trod the 
grass down so much in picking the straw¬ 
berries that the farmers s ( aid they ivould 
sow plaster on the vines and destroy them. 
They did so, (using Nova Scotia plaster,) 
and it had the anticipated effect Three 
years after my father commenced sowing 
plaster on his meadow, I could scarcely find 
a strawberry to eat; previous to that I could 
pick from 12 to 20 quarts in half a day, 
though they were rather small but of ex¬ 
cellent flavor. 
Again.— About 1G years ago my father- 
in-law had a tine bed of strawberry vines 
in his garden; early in the spring he sowed 
some plaster on it. About the time the 
vines were in blcssom, I was there; they 
were small, yellow and sickly. He told me 
he believed he had spoiled his strawberry 
bed by sowing plaster on it I replied, I 
thought every body knew that plaster would 
kill strawberry vines. I think every one 
who tries the experiment will find it so.

A new and exceedingly simple knitting- 
machine, has been invented and put in 
operation by Mr. Joseph Hollen, of White 
Township, Cambria Co., Pa. This machine 
is really one of the least complicated, and
