SeasonaMe Hints-Pruning Trees &c.-A
writer in one of the Agricultur raj papers, states
that more fruit trees. &C., arc injured and destroy
ed by winter and early spring pruning, than from
any other cause. After several years. PRACTICE
in pruning, the writer declares that trees Wilt sus.
tain much less injury if pruned whom they are in
full leaf than atany other season. the branches
are cut oil In WINTER early in spring, tho part
will look black, and has a tendency to decay; the
pruning should be done when the leaves are full
grown, and the tree is in vigorous and growing
state: for at this season, when the sap has been
spent in the foliage and the pores of the wood are
filled, so that when the limb is taken off, the sun
and warm weather will dry the ond Of the limb
and close the pores of the wood against the wealth
or, and the sap will keep the limb alive to the ve-
ry end, and tho healing will be perceived imme-
diatey.


The reasoning of the writer is conclusive 10
our mind, and we therefore publish it for the ben
eft Of our farmers, and others who have trees to
prune.


To Kill nornas in Peach trees.--A cotempora.
ry advises thus. Place pile Of good ashes about
the roots Of each tree, great and small. If you
have no ashes, take lime some other substance
that will destroy the eggs soon as they are laid
by the fly at the root. If you scrape away the
earth from the roots, early in the spring, you may
find some of the last years in it. Let this be re.
moved from the tree, but don't wound the roots
1t is better 10 let the worms come out at maturity
than to infict new wounds with the knife.


Another Remsdy.--A correspondent of the Uni.
ted States Gazette reierates the success Of his
pertinent after fifteen years experience, Of pre-.
vontative of worms Ola fruit shade trees
which is simply to bore hole into 'he heart OF
the tree, and insert roll Of birthstone about three
inches in length, or some -four Of sulphur, and
carefully plug the same up.
