digs n sina i trench or cavity, above the ryots 
of the trees and then inserts the manure, which 
is covered by the loose earth. The first heavy- 
shower of rain is sure to wash the manure into 
the roots of' the tree, and the latter derives ail 
its benefits by a suction of the quantity so ap¬ 
plied. But if the people be allowed their own 
way, they are too apt to insert the manure 
beneath the tree, and thus it is washed away, 
and its suction drawn to the centre of the row, 
to generate weeds, without benefiting the object 
for which it was intended. 
On properties where there are Water works, 
the Coffee pulp is generally carried away, by 
means of a small wooden gutter, into the cut 
way, where the water wheel plays ; and the 
fan trash in most, instances, is blown away from 
the fanner into the oilier cut wav where the 
water wheel which turns the grinding mill, plays. 
This system, to sav the feast; of it, is a great 
waste and should be adandoned. The Coffee pulp 
should be returned to the soil, whose nutritive 
powers have been called into action to generate 
it, in the same manner as the cane trash is 
returned r.o the soil on estates. 
The indications of bearing are usually to be 
seen in a swelling of the joints, and the Hang¬ 
ing down of the leaves, whence the bud issues. 
The blossom has been kept in this state for 
weeks, aye months, from dry weather; but the 
moment a shower of rain fails, with astonish¬ 
ing rapidity, the bud shoots, and in two days 
after, the field will present one mass of snowy 
whiteness—the fragrance of which is grateful t.c 
the olfactory nerves., and the whole scene im¬ 
parts pleasure and sa did action.
