Cultivation of Tim Soil For Fruit TreeaT” 1 be importance of good transplanting Inis already been noticed ; yet very lew practise il as ii should he There is another de|iartment in the care of fruit tree- Stui more imp.,riant ; perlmpa not so mncli so in ii*.n almost universal neglect, and flic consequent disastrous resitltH. Thia is thorough caltivation ol the soil. For, in ninny hundreds of trees which ihe writer has seen tnuisplniiied (>y various culiiviitors more hare been loot Jrom neglected alter culture, than from all other emiMe* put together I !l Urtl,US, ‘ yuu " Klre, ‘ B lr, nt Iliem various 1. Some kill them nl once by drying them in the sun or wind, r freezing them in the cold. 2 ( (them kill them by crowding the roots with small holes in hard ground, w here they cun never floui ish and rarely live. J Olhers sot them out well, but thnt is nil. This done, they consider the whole work ns finished. The trees are suffered to become choked with grass, weeds or crop# of grain—some five and linger, others die un der the hardship, or else are broken off t.v cattle or broken down by the team which cultivates the ground, j An intelligent friend purehnsea fifty very fine peach I frees, handsomely rooted, and of vigorous growth ; they ! were well set out in a field containing a fine ’crop * of heavy clover and timothy. The following summer was very dry : a luxuriant growth o| meadow grass nearly obscured them from sight. What was the con sequence { Most ot them necessarily perished. Another person bought sixty, ol worse quality in growth ; he set them out well, and kept them wvll cul tivated with iwtatoes. He lost but one tree ; and con 'tmumg to cultivate them with low hoed croiw they n. w promise to aflord loads ol rich peaches, before the dead stubs of his neighbor Just mentioned, have disappeared from fits grounds. Another neighbor a year ago bought fifty good trees. Passing his house lute in sunm r, he said to me. “I thought a crop of wheat one of the best tor young peach trees ?” “Just the reverse : it is one of the worst—nil ?>wn crops are injurious, all low hoed ones beneficial.” “ Well,” answered he “1 have found it so—my fifty trees all lived, it is true, but 1 have lost one year of their growth by my want of knowledge.” Hi# trees were examined ; they were in an excellent soil, and had leen well Set out. All the rows but one had stood in a held wheat ; that one was h'M*d with a crop of pota toes. The result was striking. Os the trees that stood among the wheat, some had made shoots the same year, an inch long, some two inches long, some four, and a very few, five or six inches. While on the other hand, on nearly every one that grew with the potatoes, new shoots a foot and a halt could be found, and on some the growth had been two feet, two and a half, and three feet. Other cases nave furnished nearly as deci sive contrasts. An eminent cultivator of fine fruit, whose trees have . home lor many years, says in a late letter, “My fruit garden would lie worth twice ns much as it ts, if the trees had been in thick rows two rods .apart, ao that 1 ; c0,, 1d have cultivated them with n plough. Unless I fruit grows on thrifty trees, we can form no proper judg ment of it. Some that w’e have cultivated tins season, after a long neglect, seem like neir kinds, and the fla vor is in proportion to the size. Bearing trees often stand in thick grass, and poor crops and poor trim aie the usual result; and the nurseryman who sold them is not unliequemly pionounced a rogue tor thus dieiribut worthless kinds, when good cultivation would whol ly change their character.” Trees are frequently mutilated in cultivating the ground with a team ; to obviate this difficulty, arrange the horses when they work near the hue ol* trees one before the other ad tandem ; let a boy nde the forward one, use long traces, and a short wlnppie-tree, and place the whole in the care of some carelul man, who knows that one tree is woith more than fifty hills ol corn or po tatoes, and no danger may be teareii. VV hen it liecoine* necessary for trees to stand in grass, as in some instances near dwellings, a circle ol several feet round each tree, must be kept mellow by the spade. Ihe work should be shallow near the tree to prevent injury to the roots, and gradually deepen os it recedes, ‘ibis operation when rep.uted several times during summer, has been known to increase the growth live fold. But a not less important result is the t-xc uwion of nncp, for which ih.s is is by for the inostefiectual metli oj, *4 me u..ce is laiseu nine oi ten inches round in tree just before winter. The grass no longer affords these animals any hiJ.-7g place ; and the embankment round the stein prevent* the collection of deep snow. — It proves completely effectual. Among the best tu ps which are best suited to young trees, ore potatoes,ruta hagas, beets, carrots, beans,and all low hood crops. Com, though a hoed crop, is of too ta |* a .tp' owl h,shading young trees too much by itsfor j mutable stalks. All sown crops are to be avoided, and grn.*fr< is atlll worse. Meadows are ruinous. An ac quaintance who purchased a hundred neach trees, and placed them ill meadow land, ua bveiy one was lost. A clean, mellow cultivated of ground, kept so n few years, might have saved the wuole of them, and brought them 84hmi into bearing. Thomas’ Fruit Cult unit. Mailing Meat. The sooner meat is salted after being killed the bet ter, as it then posset-ses considerable absorbent power, which it gradually loses by age, and when it once be comes putrid it can never be salted at all. One of the best inodes ol curing is, to rub the meat well with a mixture of common rock-salt, 21bs, saluetre,2 oz.; and moist sugar 14 oz , till overbore vice is thoroughly pene trated, after which it should be set aside tdl the next day, when it should bt‘ covered with li4*sh salt in such parts as have been most exposed it may then be ad vantageously placed in a proper vessel and subjected to pressure,adding a little more suit as may be necessary, and tuiudig it daily till suflictetitiy cured \V hen the brine, as it forms, is allowed to drain from the meat, the process is called dry-salting ; but when, on the contrary, it is allowed to remain on it, the inode is called wet-salted. On a small scale, the lattei is most conveniently performed by rubbing the meat with salt, &lc., asalnjve directed . un i alter it has lain n lew | hours, putting ;t into u pickie formed by dinolving 4 lbs ;of rock-sali, 41 > of sugar, and 2oz of wiltepre in 2 gal lons of water.

Fruit Miracles. In the Horticulturist of the present month, we have a notice of a peach tree in the g lon of Mr. Willis, at Portland, Maine, that bore a crop last year of perfect peaches, and this season ia covered with nectarines Here is u greater miracl* than Boston can boast of— I here, the Boston nectarin ■ was raised by Mi Lewis trom a peach stone. On Saturday lust, Mr Bush pre senicd to our Horticultural Society a large, perfect and beautiful plum, which hq assured uh wnurniwil I y 1,, n Horn the stone ot an apricot planted in a pot and care hiiiy tended till it bore fruit. Mr. Bush is a well known ami reputable ganfeuer in onrv ; n : ‘\ and hia inteirri l> o. c-iuiaciei .//nth w.ii L* • * : v all who know linn. las firmly believe this transmutation, as 1 do the Boston and Portland miracles. I will mention two others that came under my own observation, in truth oi which 1 have equal reliance, and the first far surpasses the Boston ncclurine miracle, and the evi dence of its truth stronger. Mr. Jones consul at Mex ico, sent me three apricot stones, which I cracked, and carefully planted in mould from my garden, in a soul garden pot of a triangular form, placed in a hot bed In a few days there came up, sinii arly located, three forest tiees which 1 transplanted into larger pots and in a week into the open ground, where they were until six or eight feet high and 1 was assured they were trees not known in tins region. No apiicot trees appeared nor could be expected ; Jor il would be too much to ex pect, even m the land of witchcraft to have both forest 1 und fruit trees from the same kind of stones. Ihe other miracle was at the vineyard of one of my tenants, a Mr. Amen. There was in his vineyard a grape-vine that hud for many years produced abundant ! crops of white grapes, and a following season, the same vine bore an abundant crop oi black as well as white \ grapes Mr. Amen was a man of truth but fortunate ly the lact did not happen was as the case with the ! Boston nectarine and my forest tree miracles depend I upon the word ot # single individual. All the Horticul- t tui i>ts lor miles around saw for themselevs, and Aouched for the fact. Candor, however, compels me to admit, j that, in this case, 1 examined the plant, und recollected 1 than was a Schuylkill Mu.-cadcl. (a black grand ou 1 mulch, ai uiy jequesi, Air.

On the line of the Providence and Worcester rail road there are twenty stopping places or way sta •ions; 94 cotton mills. 307,uU6 spindles, 7,092 looms, making about 1,197,800 ynnls of cotton cloth per week ; 2 wollen mills ; 81 sets of wollen machinery, 4 scytne works, and 3d machine shops. The road is a frac tion oyer 43 miles long, and will be m operation by ihe last of this month. Factories which turnout 1,197,800 yards of cotton cloth per week, will send to mu'ket over sixty-one mil lions ot yards m a year. Here is an example which Georgians will do well to imitate. Capital and labor employed in fabricating cotton, wollen, iron and leather goods are vastly more productive than when devoted eACtUSxvely to agriculture. Lain>i-saving machinery, which consumes little or nothing, literally coins money in manufacturing operations. Wc are happy to Jear. that efforts are making at Ma rietta, on the line of our own railroad, by a company, to erect a large Merchant Mill. Northern Georgia is ad mirably adapted to the growing of wheat. Its culture and manufacture cun Is* made exceedingly profitable. Monroe, in the Suite ol New Yo k, which has Roches ter tor its shire town, produces annually but a fraction less than 1,5 JO,OOO bushels of wheat, it would ta* diffi cult to find a more wealthy and prosperous rural jmpu oftfiptf .farmers oi that region.

The investigations and experiments of horticulturists are continually bringing forward soiueimng new m the practice ol the culture oi plums and shrubs and trees.— It was formerly thought Unit eariy in the spang w:is the only time to engraft, and also that it could only be done on the tree or sto<-k while growing m the ground. Now people find it just as well to lake up young trees, put them in the cellar, with sand or earth over the root#, and either graft the stocks at their leisure hours betore the fire during some stormy 1 1\ or winter evening, careiuity placing them hack ujim time to set them out in the spring—or they cut the roots to pieces of three or lour inch- s in length, and engraft them in the same manner, preserving also in the munewny, and in spring find, by setting them out, thnt they will spring up and grow a# well as any other tree. It hasalso been found that trees may probably be en grafted successfully during every month in the year.— FueadCole, of the Boston Cultivator in describing i Mi Torr-y m gurui-n in Qureey which fie veiled a wee# jor iw. s-.j .x . i .. . 0 ... -j. ‘ > mouth in the year excepting winter months. Now u any one is disposed to try the experiment during the cold of winter, there can oe no doubt that he would succeed. Why not as well us those stocks that are grafted in the house during the winter wlien the circulating system is torpid ? It would be necessary ouly to protect the junction of the graft and stock carefully from the effect ot #now und water and the Mevere winds that we sometime# liave in that inclement season of the year.— We do not supporte that it would be adv isable to do this work out ot doois in the winter, but we mention it mere ly to illustrate tiie fact that we may engrail every month uitbe year with success.— Amer.
