PKACH TREES. r us cultivate the ground, that the poor, 1S well as thench, may ne tilled ; ana nappi ness and peace be established throughout our borders." The Peach may be ranked with the most delicious fruit that can be pro duced in anv country. It is generally raised from' the stone, but the best Kinds are those propagated by innocu lation or grafting. The peach tree is subject to many calamities, and is in general short-lived ; its preservation, to any consider able ae, is only to be ensured by skill and attentionits precious fruit is, therefore, forbidden to the slothful, the cesligent and the ignorant. The peach tree is liable to three misfortunes or calamities first, the Oy second, the breaking of limbs, which brinsrs on a decay third, to wound received on the body by bursting of the I bark by severe irosts in winter, aim the injuries done to it by birds, in sects, &c. But the most general decay of peach trees, is owing to a worm which origi nates from a larjje fly, that resembles a common wap." This fly perforates the bark, and deposits an egg in the moist or sappy part of it. The most common place of perforation is at the surface of the earth where the rougher &, harder bark which is exposed to at mospheric a I influ e n c e, begi nsto ch an ge to the softer character of that which covers the roots. In this particular part the fly is able to puncture the sur face and there introduce its eggs. This they perform in our climate from the middle of July , through August & Sep tember. In August, for the most part, the worms assume the chrysalis state, and in eiht or te n days are t ran form ed into flies. Then they immediately fcen n to d eposit thei r egg, which are soon hatched into worms, and thus the round of transformation common to the insect tribe i3 completed. The ecss deposited by the fly at the times : and manner just stated are changed into worms : 8c it is in the wtmoi state the v do th? mtschieJ, by preying upon Hear tne suriaee ui mc -iiuui !m sn that tliere are worms under the barkJ --'V Various means have been resorted to and with various success, for the purpose of destroying these worms or of preventing thm from doing injury to the trees. These various methods shall now he given as practised by sum e of the mos t r cs p1 c t ab leand dis tinguished farmers of our country. Dr. Tilton, efthe State of JJflaivare. I shall ?ay but little on the cultiva tion of this useful tree; but will bare- ly remark, that it should always be inntd shallow, with the soil raised ; Knnr it in the form of a hill : that For-1 tTsithod ot lveadipff down .the essential to the rapid antl successful "rovth of the trees. Tlie diseases and j carlv death of our peach trees, is a fer-, tile source of observation, far from be- j ins exhausted. Among the insects -which are grea t en emies to th ese t rees Is a little : beetle,; called cdrculio, about bu, which punctures asions it to fall dffand the s;ze c! a pea the fruit and occasn rot before it comes to maturity. These insects mav be exterminated by means of hop.

I remove the earth a few inches round the tree in August or September. After July the wa p cea ses to pierce the bark and to make its , deposits. I pour round the butt of the tree, beginning about one foot above the ground, a quart or more (not being nice about the quantity) of boiling hot soapsuds or water- This kills the egg or worm lodged in the tender bark ; and, of course, prevents its ravau.es the next season. I also have the trees ; bared at the roots and exposed to the j winter. I have lost some in this way ; j but I still continue the practice. I ; have been in t he habi t of doi ng tins f r t ten or twelve years, and prefer it to t anv other treatment. To supply de-, ficiencies. I plant yaung trees every year. When trees become sickly, I I grub them up ; I find that sickly trees I often iuft-ict those in vigr near them, j by some tnotb'd effluvia. The young ! trees supply their los. and C have no ! trouble in nursing those in a state of, decy ; which is commonly a hopeless task. IViViam Coxer BtcrVntonrS'eitv-Jerstrfi I alwavs search the roots of in v trees twice in the season, last f July and I September.

John Cocke, Virginia. I think I have discovered a remedv for the worm which preys upon peach j trees at or near their roots, and which j tree just at the stir fa ce oft he eart 1 1, ' encircling the part where th ny de- ; posits its ejri. Tl:is precaution is to j i be taken belore the hatching of the 1 flies -the first of July i$ early enough, : b u t t o m a k e th e experiment s u cce -s- fnl it sbould not be put oft longer than this period. The tobacco, so generally : deleti' tis to the inject tribe, is so ! also to this destructive Oy, and there- dv prevents its approach. My first experiments with tobacco were confined to ten or twelve neach trees ; the next spring I found that the trees still threv.' out s;um near the surlace, and 1 leared my experiment j na(l 'aiieu ; upon a close examination t 'il uowever, . puree i veil.-uiax ii:e "uiu nau i have assiduously examined the trees Upon the whole, I find that those trees which have enjoyed the benefits of the J tobacco application lor two years, have a U thei r w ound s entirely healed and j thrown out no pun ; ami in no instance ! have I found the worm to have existed, ; ji M ,,en t!e tobacco was applied, l tact s, it is evident that From ; tobacco ' stains, w:;en stripped ol their leaves, would be excellent to throw around 4 the roots of fruit trees.
