Seeds of Fruit Trees.

As carly as practicable ia/he fell I have my ground plowed as deep as it can be done and then harrowed as fine as possible. I lay out the ground in rows fifteen inches apart, making the rows six inches wide and almost two inches deep; I then drop the seeds evenly over four inches of the space, dropping so that they will be almost an ineh apart. I gather as many coal-ashes as I will need, and use a mason’s screen to pass the fine ashes through. When the men have finished dropping the apple seeds I take the fine coal ashes and cover the seeds fully two inches with the ashes and then cover the ashes with about half an inch of soil. Besides the ashes acting as a fertilizer and preventing the wooly aphis from doing harm , they keep the ground in condition, so as not to be affected by frosts in the spring, and thereby lifting the soil. I have never found any trouble in this direction or from the aphis by covering with ashes. I plant all my seeds in the fall—plum, apple, cherry, peach, maple, ash, etc. Ido not use coalashes on any other than apple and cherry seeds. An application of sifted coal-ashes in the spring after the plants are well up, and have made several sets ot leaves, will materially benefit apple seedlings. Passing over the rows with the back of a rake will knock off any ashes that may have lodged on the plants. I find fifteen inches a good width for space between the rows, and also find that I gain in ground and have less space for weeds to grow. I also find the use of a diggingfork better than a plow for working the seedlings, as less harm is done to them and the work is more effectual. The advantage of fall planting will be obvious to all. Nature does her planting then, and the freezing is done in order and regularity. As soon as the spring opens they begin to grow. There is no hurry to get the seeds in when pressed with spring work; no detention because of late seasons or wet weather; no risk from rotting your apple seed by soaking and freezing, as by the old process. Nature takes charge of them in the ground, and the result is perfectly satisfactory. You can begin to cultivate the ground and keep down the weeds with but little trouble. I remember the remark made to me by a prominent Rochester nurseryman on a visit to this place. I gave him my mode in detail, and had the satisfaction of having him tell me that I would have the loss of time, seeds and labor as my reward. My reward did not come as predicted, but instead, I was offered <IOO for the lot just as they were coming up. I preferred carrying the experiment through and was well rewarded for it. I cover plum and cherry fully two and one-half inches; peach three inches. No trouble to get through if your soil is light. I have given you the working in detail. I would only add that my faith in coal ashes increases with the use of them. I have seen orange and lemon seeds that had been thrown on the ash-pit in the fall sprout in the spring and grow to fine plants with no other soil than that afforded by the ashes.— Eclectic Rurdlist.

Aunt Polly’s Pudding.—Take thin slices of light bread, well buttered; put a layer in the bottom of a dish, then a layer of raspberries, well sprinkled with sugar; then another layer of bread, then another of berries, and so on until the dish is full; cover with a plate, and bake for a half hour in a quick oven, or three-quarters in a slower one. When baked, beat the white of an egg to a froth, add a tablespoonful of powdered sugar, spread it evenly over the top of the pudding, brown it in the oven and serve.— American Grocer.
