At all events, it is easy to make the trial.—Let a few breadths'be harrowed, the same way the grain was ploughed in —numerous plants will be torn up, and the operation will, apparently, menace universal destruction ; but it will be found, that what remains, will spread and thrive much better and more than make up for the little destroyed. Perhaps, for this operation, the com¬ mon old wooden tooth harrow, with blunt teeth, would answer as well, if not better, than any other—and it is well if it can be made to answer any purpose well.

On fore ins: Fruit Trees to Bios- som and bear Fruit. By the Rev G. L. Temple/ In my early years, I law my Father, who was fond of Pomology, and (killed in that fcience, cutting a ring on feveral bran¬ ches of trees which already were in blof- fom, for the purpofe of producing by that means, larger fruit than ufual. This was riot his own invention ; but as far as I can recoiled"*, derived from a French Journal. Thirty years ago, when I was a boy, I practiced this operation, in imitation of him, and thereby obtained larger pears and plumbs. In repeating this operation of ringing the branches which I did mere¬ ly for the purpofe of larger fruit, I ob- fcrved that the branches fo operated upon, always bore the next year. By this reite- i(f appca pec, 1 ivas ted to rti* ;oca, that perhaps the mode of ringing the bark might he the means of compelling every unproductive branch to yield fruit. With this view, I cut rings upon a confiderable number of branches, which as yet had fhewed no blofTom, and found, by repeat¬ ing the experiment, the truth of my fup- pofition indifputably confirmed by experi¬ ence. The application of this experiment, by which upon every bough or branch, fruit may be artificially produced, is very fimple and eafy, and the mode of proceed¬ ing is as follows : With a (harp knife make a cut in the bark of the branch which you mean to force to bear, and not far from the place where it is connected with the ftem ; or if it be a fmall branch, or (hoot, near where it is joined with the larger bough ; the cut is to go round the branch, or to en¬ circle it, and to penetrate to the wood. A quarter of an inch from the cut, you make a fecond, like the firft, round the branch, fo that by both encircling the branch, you have marked a ring upon the branch, a quarter of an inch broad, between thefe two cuts you take clean away with a knife, down to the wood, removing even the fine inner bark, which immediately lies upon the wood ; fo that no connection whatever Temains between the two parts of the bark ; but the bare and naked wood appears white and fmooth. But this barking, which is to compel the tree to bear, muft be made in the right time, that is, when in all na¬ ture the buds are itrongly fwelling or breaking oat into blofloms. In the lame year a callous is formed at the edges of the rin^ on both fides; and the connection of the bark, that had been interrupted, is re- itorcd again without any detriment to the tre or the branch operated upon, in which the artificial wound loon grows over. By tin's fimrde, though artificial means •f forcing every fruit tree, with certainty to bear, you obtain the following import¬ ant advantages. 1. You may compel every young tree, of which you do not know the frrt, to ihow its fruit, and decide fooner, whether, being of a good quality, it may remain in its firft Hate or requires t<« be grafted. 2. You may thereby, with certainty, get fruit of every good fort, of which you wilh to fee die produce in the next year. 3d. This method may probably ferve to increafeconfiderably the -quantity in this country, (England ) The branches fo operated, are hung with fruit ; while the others that are not ringed, often have nothing, or very little upon them. This eiledt. is eafy to be cx- Summer wheal.—It is perhaps not ge¬ nerally known, that lauds which will produce but little or no winter wheat-, will produce a handsome crop of the summer kind. You may sow it soou af¬ ter the frost is out of the ground, and it will be tit for harvest about two weeks after thai so 1*ed in the fall. The wheat will be sweet, and white : and to me iti- fiuite.lv preferable to rye. 1 have known land-- which would pro¬ duce no rye but blasted, jicld twenty- six bushels to the acre. There are some advantages with res¬ pect to this kind cf grain worthy the at¬ tention of my tellow farmers—it cannot be winter killed—it will do well to sow in the spring where ot-.tvr grain has been winter killed, zud will make Hour supe- rior to rye. To me it appears, that owing to the preterit extraordinary winter, much of our grain wiil be killed ; and if it should prove the ease3 I know of no better v.ay to remedy the evil, than to improve the same land with summer wheat.
