AGRICOLA NORFOLCIENSIS. Wee eO METHOD OF QUICKLY PRODVCING FRUIT FROM TREES DISPOSED TO RUN TO WOOD, OF OBTAINING GOO0N SHOOTS, AND OF IMPROVING TIE TIMBER TREES.! (Continued from page 210.)

6. TE the z3econd year the tree or branch upon which the operation has been performed, is not covered with a sufficient quantity of fruit buds; make in the Spring a new excoriation either on the Same place as that of the preceding year, or in any-other. In case of necessity, it may be re- peated at the beginning of each Succeeding Spring, tll the tree

or branch be found sufficiently fruitful.

There will Seldom be occasion to repeat the operation. The first wound is usually efBcacious, and the tree plentifully co- vered with fruit the Szecond year.

7. If the operator be fearſul of making the wound toa Jarge, andthat it will not be closed before autumn, he may make it very narrow; and if before be month of Mesidor the new ring or skin have reached the edge of the lower bark, a little more of the latter may be taken away. at the Same time, recolleeting, that the increase of the Skin is extremely Small after the two first months,

This process employed in this manner, with the precautions I have stated, is infallible, quick in its effects, and not ats tended with any injury or incozvenience,

8. In pruning truit trees, it 15 of 10 use to cut out the lux- urjant wood, or to eydeavour by means of pruning to divert be sap. They Should be Suffered to grow freely for a year, but we following Spring the bark may be cut away at the base of each of theze branches, and thus by interrupting the course of the descending Sap, you will obtain from them excellent Shools, and frequently fine early fruit.

9. When a Shoot 15 grafted, the Sap which it contains der 5cends, and forms at the bottom a 5kin which is5ues from be- tween the wood and tbe bark. On this skin rise Small pro- zuberances, each contains aligneous fibre, pProceeding from the Stem of the Shoot; this fibre increases in length, and becomes a r00t. Substances of a drying nature frequently kill the Shoot during the temporary exhaustion by the descent of the Sap for he formation of the kin and 100ts, and before those roots
