 raising of wheat, and, at present prices, the

 rapidly. But it is equally true, that the far mer in New England has scarcely less in- ducement to persevere in cultivating his acres than has the wheat grower of the west It is far better for the farmer here, even though the soil be hard, to produce a crop of corn or other bred stuffs to which he has been accus-l toned, than to go even to the most fertile re- gions of the west, where before he can raise a crop, he will be obliged to cut down im- mense forests, and endure most herculeaT

 Cultipdtion ot the Fig. 1.-The lovers of this excellent fruit will be gratified to learn that it may be cultivateI in our climate with lt- tie expense and labor. During a latevisit to the garden of Eliphalet Averill, Esq. of this city, we were presented with fig plucked directly from the tree, and of flavor the most delicious, MT, A. informed us that for ten years he had been experimenting on the cul- tivation of the fig, and that he had finally slc- ceeded in preserving the tree and bringing the fruit to perfection. He also kindly gave us a statement of his method, which we lay before our readers in the hope, that'a least some of them will betinduced to try the ex- pertinent, as we have no doubt of it's complete success. The fig tree is Propagated by means oflayers and cuttings--if the latter are used they should be at least one foot long. ,,,,,,,,.s

 The method of Mir. A., is as follows: He lays down the branches in June, which form roots and grow luxuriantly, 1mnediately af- ter the leaves fall off in autumn, and before hard frosts destroy their vitality, he lays them down and covers them with earth to the depth ofat least a foot In order that a part of the roots may retain their original position in the earth and be ready to furnish nourishment early the ensuing spring, he loogens the root on one side ofthe tree ndleayes those on the other undisturbed- d-taking care that those loosened are not mutilated or otherwise injur- cd. He then bends the branches over those with pegs and covers both roots and branches | with mellow earth to the depth above stated

 In this condition he leaves them till the mid. dle of May, Or the first of June, according tt the forwardness or backwarinesS of the sea. son, and then uhcovers fhenl--Setss them up. right and supports them with props to keeE them in a right position. ,r By repeating, this | process every winter he has succeeded in pre-, serving his trees till they. have attained a good size, and produce fruit in perfection man and a'
