 A lady of our acquaintance took us into her garden recently where we were shown a tree which she informed us had been planted for ten or more years, but had never until last year, borne any fruit. In looking over an old volume, she accidentally met with what purported to be a remedy for this unproductive- ness, which was simply to cut from each limb, close where 1t diverges from the trunk, a piece of bark about half an inch round the limb, one irch in width, i'm mediately replace it by tying 1t on with a rag until it adheres again. Early last spring she tried this experiment upon the tree we speak of leaving, how> ever, two or three limbs untouch- ed. The result was, in the au.' tuma it was filled with apples : but it is worthy of remark, those limbs only which had been cut bore fruit. The operation IS ve " simple; and as it has proved successful in this instance, we have no hesitation in recom- mending it's trial in similar ca ses.-Reading Gazette.
