TAKE a piece of sheet zinc of proper size and write the name on it with ink made of Verdigris pulverised one part. Sal Ammoniac one do. Lamp Black one half do. Water ten do. Mix well together. Then attach the label to the tree with copper or brass wire-if, after awhile, the writing appears affaced, wet it by rubbing the finger moisted on it, and the name will be as legible as at frst, for years after. Garden Manures. WE furnish our readers this week, with an extract from the Horticulturist, upon the va. rieties and properties of manures, suitable for gardening purposes. It is too often the case, that our gardens are manured, year after year, with the same kind of fertilizer; and it is not unfrequently the case, that not withstanding a liberal supply of compost, &c. has been applied, that our gardens fail to give a corresponding yield. When it is semembered, that we cannot g;ve our gar -dens that rest which is as necessary to the vigor of the soil as it is indispensable to the anietdl kingdom, we should adopt a system of .tation in manures, in order to create, if possible, an artificial rest. H ence we believe 'tbat..gantens shonid not be manured ivith the -sa eM fertilizer more than two years success iiviy. .A LFR ED CH.AMBRLAN gives the fol 1Wslieg list 'of fertilizers, and their pecu*liar proprties, xvhich will aid us much in making as-efction for garden manures: Thbe manures in general use in gardens -.ure ':umer ons, but 1 shall only notice those mlisch I cotnsider the most useful: and of hese, thes dung of horses, if not the best, is certainly the most general in use. Next to the (lung of horses, that of oxen and enttle is in the greatest request; and if slightly feniented, is an excellent manure for lig.., hot soils. It is also well calculated for soils of~ a dry, absorbent nature, as it retains its moisiure for a greater length of time thani must others. Green vegetable ma:tter is an excellent ma naure, b~ut least attended to than it ought to be. Instead of~ collecting all useless vegeta bles, &c., in a garden into one heap, let the followinig simple mode be adopted : When a piece ogrudis to be dug, go around and collect all the decaying vegetables, and im mediately dig them in. TJhe sweepings of grass walks and lawns are also of as much use ats vegetable manure ; and on being brought inmo the garde:' they should be dug in before fermnentation commences ; but it tmust be ob served that they should not be buried at too great a depth, otherwise fermentation will be prevented by compression, and the exclusion of air. Sea weeds, when they can be procured, makes excellenit manure for most vegetables, but particularly for Sea Kale, A rtichokes, and Aspara:gus. This manure, however, is very tranuslent in its effects, and does not last more than fur a single crop, which is accounted for by its containing a large portion of water, or the elements thereof. T[he dung of birds, either wild or domes ticated, affords a powerful manure, particu larly that of the former. Pigeon's dung is. in great repute, but it should onily be used as a compound; or, if used as a simple manure, the greatest care must be observed in the distribution of it. It is a good manure for Strawvberroes and Raspberries ; also the Fuchsia, Pelargonium, Coxcomb, Balsam, and it is indeed a rich manure for all potted plants that will bear rich feedinig. The dung of sheep affords good manure, but is seldom used in gardens. SOOt is a very powerful manure, and ought to be used in a dry state, and thrown on the surfa~ce of the ground. [t is advantageously used in crops of Onions. It is sown at all times with good effect, and when it has been sown no maggot has appeared. The ashes of wood, if not too much burnt, is a lasting manu re, particularly for the Grape .Vinie and Pear; and if sown among Turnips, it is of great use to protect them from the fly. Of all mitneral manures, lime ismnost known and generally used. It should, however, * never b~e applied with animnal manure, unless they be too rich, or for the purpose of pre venting noxious etiuvia. It is injurious wvhen mixed with any common manure. Mlanures, whether aninndl or mineral, are of sucr' impurtance to vegetation,'that all possiblei dilhugence should be used in the col lecting tad preparing them for the different * purposes for which they may be required. By a proper apj.lication of them, and by a rotation of cropping founded on just prinei ples, the worst ga: den ground may be not only improved, but rendered fit for the pro. duction of every vegetable that is usually cultivated in the different localities of this country. To MAuKE FRUIT-PIEs -No under crust should be made to apple or'iy fruit-pie. It is always heavy and not fit to eat. Place a narrow rim of paste around the edge of the plate, and; fill it wvith the fruit, either raw or stowed,' and cover it.

EDIroi :-in the Advcrtiser of the 24th of January, I find a series of questions propounded to farmers, all of which are im portant. I feel it to be our duty to give our experience in any thing touching our inte. rests, whereby we may all be mutually bene :itted. And as I oeem the raising of hogs a very important item in farming, I will give you my experience in that branch, as I have devoted a good deal of time and attention to it. One or two general remarks oii the subject before I proceed to answer your question. 1st, Farmers should be careful to get a good stock of Hogs. I think the big Guinea the best stock for our country; or perhaps big Guinea and Irish-Grazier crossed might be preferable. 2nd, The common error in our farmers is that they keep too many breeding sows; they have so many pigs they can't possibly feed them as they should be fed, and a groat many of them die while young. 3rd. They keep their hogs too long be fore they are killed. No hog should be fed more than one winter. Take two pigs, give one double what you do the other, and the pig that is well fed will make as a good a hog at one year old as the other one half fed or half starved, will at two. Most far mers keep their hogs until they are two years old; in order to do this you see at once they have to keep a double number of hogs, which of course require twice as much to feed them. Again, one fifth of the one-year old hogs in the country die before they are two, which is a clear loss. Now say a man loses one half his pigs and one fifty of his year old hogs, it leaves him but a little over one fourth the hogs he has pigged ; and I will venture the assertion that this is as many as half the farmers in the District kill one year with another. If farmers would not think quite so much about making cotton, and a little more about the provisions of life, they could raise plenty of hogs and to spare, with a very little trou ble or expense, and be much better off (I think) than they are when they have to buy. Farmers, try it ! By sowing a good crop of peas you can have plenty of meat at a trifling cost. Your shoats will gro'v off finely in your harvest fields and your peas will fatten theni in the fall. If any man will adopt this plan, (never keeping more than one sow for every ten hogs it takes to make his bacon) and if he don't always have plen ty of shoats in the summer and plenty of hogs to make his bacon in the winter, I will acknowledge I know nothing about the matter. In answering your question I will give you the cost of keeping a bog one year only. Say I commence the middle of De cember (after killing my hogs) with four sows and twenty-eight pigs, (as many as I want) having fifty bushels cotton seed, ten bushels meal and plenty turnips for their, support. I can keep my sows anid pigs in fine order through the winter. How ? l-ave a large kittle (or a farmer's boiling stove is far preferable) every morning put into it a quantity of turnips and tops (which every man can have if he will) and a few cotton seed, and boil them until they are soft; then put a little meal in to thicken it. And feed regularly with this preparation. About the middle of January or sooner if I finid my hogs are getting lowsy, I give them a half pound copperas at a feed three days in suc cession. This cleanses them of lice and worms..- Every three weeks after, I give them about a half pound. A mere boy can do the boiling before breakfast through the winter and feed the hogs at night. stock hogs should be fed only at night. Now, count the cost: 50 bushels cotton seed at 10 cts. $5,00 ; 10 bushels meal .510! and 25 cents worth of copperams, making .15,25 the cost of keeping the sows and pigs until spring. They can then do with out feeding until they are put ini the nai vest fields. So the expense is over until witer. From the twenty-eight pigs, I will have 20 hogs to fatten. Next wiinter one acre of land sown in turnips will be sufficient to fatten the hogs, and have pleiity to feed my stock hogs through the wiinteir ; with thle turnips, 25 bushels cotton seed, and 20 bushels of meal, prepared regularly as before mentioned, will fatten the hogs. Fattening hogs should be fed through the day. You now perceive I have 20 hogs that will weigh about one hundred and ifty pounds each nett, at a cost of forty dollars (allowing .52,50 for the hire of the boy,) or a cost of two dollars a head. With these data let ev-ery man decide for himself wheth r it is cheaper to buy hogs than it is to raise them. Yet, I have no doubt myself but that it takes more corn to raise one hog, the wcay they arc generally raised in this country, than would buy two. P. Rise and fall of Sap in Trees. ON this subject we make the following ex. tracts from Professor LINDLEv, University of Londoni: "It is the common opinion and no less common error, that the sap of trees, rises ini Spring from their roots, and descends into them again in wvinter. As certain as a gill cannot contain a gallon, so also caniiot the roots contain all the sap of' the truiik and limbs of a tree. The term sap includes all the fluids of wvhatever kind circulating in the tree. The sap runs out of the truiik of a tree in Spring when wounded ; in the Sunm mer, autumn and winter it does not unless as an exception to the general rule. The sap is always in motion, at all sea sons, and under all circumstances, except in the presence of intense cold. '['le difference is that there is a great deal of it in Sprinig and much less at other seasons. On the approach of winter, a tree is at a state of res, its leaves having carried off a much lager portion of fluids than its roots have been able to supply, that the w-hole of the interior is in a staite of comparative dryness; and a large portion ,of the sap wvich wvas once fluid becomes solid, in consequence of* hemical canges it has undergone. Between evaporatio on the one hand. and solidifica tion on the other, the sap is in autumn so much diminished in quantity as to be no ong er discoverable by mere incisions. The power that a plant may have of resisting cold is in proportion to the completeness of this drying process. When the leaves have fallen off, the tree is no longer subject to much loss of fluid by perspiration, nor to extensive chemical changes by assimilation, for the leaves are the principle organs of perspira tion and assimilation. But the absorbing power of the roots is the same; they on the contrary go on sucking fluid from the soil, and driving it upwards into the system. The effect of this is, that after some months of such action, that loss of fluid which the tree had sustained in autumn by its leaves is made g9od and the whole plant is distended with watery particles. This is a most wise pro. vision, in order to insure abundant food to new-born leaves and branches when warmth and light stimulate them into active growth. In winter the sap appears to be at rest, for the refiling process is a very gradual one. Sap is alWays in motion, and if it ever settles at the roots, it is owing to temporary causes, the removal of which causes its instant re asscent. If in the Spring when buds are just swelling, a tree is cut at the roots or ground line, no bleeding will take place, neither will the sap flow for some distance upwards; but among the branches the bleed. ing will appear to have commenced. The fact is, the sap is driven hito accelerated mo tion, first at the extremities of the tree, be. cause it is there that light and heat first tell upon the excitable buds. The moment the buds are excited, they begin to suck sap from the parts with which they are in contact; to supply the waste so produced, the adjacent sap pushes upwards; as the expansion of the leaves proceeds, the demands upon the sap near them became greater ; a quicker motion still is necessary on the part of the sap to make good the loss, and thus from above downward is that perceptible flow of the fluids of trees, which we call bleeding, is effected. It is a well known fact, that trees felled in autumn will sprout in Spring, and goes to prove that the sap had not left the trunk and taken refuge in the roots." SoAr, WHITE LEAD AND OIL.-Mr. Edi tor : It is not so generally known as it should be, -that a mixture of the above named in gredients makes an excellent coating for gates, fences and out-buildings. The ad dition of tho -oap (soft soap is only to be used) considerably diminishes the expense of the paint, without in any degree, lessening its durability, or the facility of laying it on. I have a house, the north-west side of which was painted with this mixture nine teen years ago, and the paint is now much more brilliant than that put upon the other side at the same time, though the latter was of the best quality of white lead oil, and four heavy coats applied, while of the soap paint I applied but two. Fences painted with this mixture, as well as the roofs of buildings, for which purpose any coloring atte.-, or pigment, may be substituted for the lead, endure much longer, it is ascer tained, than those painted with pure oil paint. The alkalescent qualities of the compound tend to indurate the fibres of the wood, and render them impervious to those atmospheric influences which are the chief ause of decay and rot. The quantity of soap to be used can be best ascertained by experience; on this point no deffinite rules can he prescribed.-New England Farmer. OsroNS FoR Fowns.-Scarcehy too much can be said in praise of onions for fowls. They seenm to be a preventive and remedy for ~various diseases to which a domestic poultry is iable-. H 1aving frequently tested their excellence, wo speak understandingly. For gapes and inflammation of the throat, eyes and head, onions are almost a specific. We would recommend feeding fowls, and especially the young chickens, as many as they will eat as often as twice or three times a week. They should be finely chopped. A small addition of corn mneal is an improve men t. KILLIrNG FowvLs.-Onily turkeys and geese should be bled to death ; the flesh of chick ens becomes dry and insipid from loss of blood. T1he best plan, says the Poultry Journal, is to take a blunt stick, such as a child's bat or boy's wvooden sword, and strike the bird a smiart blow on the back of the neck, about the third joint fronm the head ; death followts in a moment.

Bread should be ahvays made with water, and when so made it is suitable for the aged and the young, the iek and the well.
