The methods of whip-guifiing and inocula¬ ting ought tube generally pia&ifed,as they are better adapted to fmall llotjks than cleft grafting. Winter fl lit is alone worthy of cvdtivation. The apples .that riped early arc fcareely worth gathering. The cyder ia poor, and the work of the farm that is inter¬ rupted bymak'Vg it, is worth more than the fruit. The falling apples do the cattle no good, and fometimes choak them. Some pcrfons, it is faid, have the art to make the heft of lienor from early fruit, yet this is known by very few, if by anr. Late-kecpin;r fruit affords more leifuie and better choice of the proper tin.e and weather lor maKing into cyder. The fruit is wouh more, the time is worth lefi.

It is well-known, that orchards on thv monn- tai:;^ yield a tnoiVi acrid juiee, and a lefs rich and pleafant cyder, than the coltivaJed plains or gentle Hopes of the fmalier hills. A fuull uimhcr of trees, culti\atcd in ^he manner here recommended, will loon begin to bear fruit, will bear a great deal of fiuit, and of the moil pro'it.nhle kinds. It is pro¬ per to add, thai tree* i'o cultivated will bear oftcner. In poor foils* a bearing year is fol¬ lowed by Cx or {i:\cn barrel years. But trees in lieh fithta will feldom fad of lomc fruit, and every other year will be a bearing year. The d> ink of the farmer's family from an orchard thus managed, will be a fouree of profit, not of cxpc'ile, like his fbotftg beer. The mowing will be alio an ample profit.

But unfortunately he gave way to the prevailing paflion of getting iti debt, and a iad life he led of it. At trie age of 30 he owed two hun¬ dred pounds. His farm yielded about that fum. He could not live without purchaling 1'ome tilings* and as all the money he eould raife went to nay principal and interclt on lii.s debt, he had every thing to buy on credit. !:>o, at the year's end, with interei'ts—and eofts— •olid lofej </i tiliit— iiiitl t • ;r.. ■; ,;- ccs charged, for things bee.uil'e he did not make ready pay, he was juft as deeply involved as the year before.
