with the tops to ps which if done will preserve the rees trees fo from being injured by frost however cold the winter season may be I 1 have learned from several years observation and experience that the amount of injury sustained by the trees in in the winter time varies according to the dep h of the snow and the severity f the season when u hen not guarded against in ili the way w ay herein

trees I 1 am confident that aa good a crop of peaches can be raised on OD low 1 lands as en rii those more elevated unless injured by frost or blight in the spring rhe the application of manure to trees in the fall as practised practiced by ome ame is 11 ous as it produces the same effect aa as snow to prevent the roo a from freezing which will most certainly produce death to the tender

which has been tried and propagated dijames by bi iames james allerson An lerson of hillsboro highland cour county jy ohio the cores corea ondene writes anderson i last week i ef t amed ua us that be he had 1194 raised about bemi semi y acres of a new variety of 61 smooth wheat called the lambert Lam bert Lert the beed seed oi of which lie he ob taine bained cl year yean r before last from muskingum ngum coun county t Y yge he raised right acres of this wheat last year which yielded well and was wag en irely unaffected by weevil while his common wheat e at sown in it th the e same soil and under precisely cisel similar circumstances was waa badly injured ju re 7 he reserved sufficient of his cr p to sow seventy acres for this season and sold the rest to his neighbor neighbors for seed these seventy acres will yi yield id him about 1400 bush es elg els over 1000 of which he lie has already e bid ald lid at 1 50 pr p r bushel making Y a pretty hand band some operation for times like these the grain is large and plump and mr ilir anderson assures us there was not a head lot lof of it injured in the least by the weevil I 1 although it is estimated m ted that nearly one half the entire wheat crop of our country this year has been destroyed by this cause all wilo who have sown this kind of wheat have in every instance a as far as he has heard met wi h the same success mr anderson informs ua us that there is a remarkable peculiarity about the chag or husk covering cohering the grain in this variety of wheat it is is much stiffer and harder than that of the ordinary wheat and what is most remarkable I 1 never 0 ens so as to exi exl expose ose the grain inside the grain is thus en entirely irely protected from the attacks of the weevil which is unable to penetrate the husk the grain is of considerably bably lighter color than the mediterranean wheat but not as fair as the common white variety P |
