Ces derniers peuvent être réalisés simplement en divisant les blocs courts et cartes avec une hache, disons la moitié d'un pouce de diamètre, ou des épis de maïs permet de répondre à un bon but, et peut-être plus faciles à voir.

. The American fruit culturist, containing directions for the propagation and culture of all fruits adapted to the United States. Fruit-culture. 62 TRANSPLANTING. The first thing to do is to procure as many short pins oi stakes, a few inches long, as there are to be trees in the or- chard. These may be made by simply splitting short blocks or boards with an axe, say half an inch in diameter; or corn-cobs will answer a good purpose, and may be more easily seen. Then procure a strong cord as long as one side of the orchard, or, if the orchard is very large, as long as each section may be, if necessary to divide it. Then, with a pole or other meas- ure, mark off the distances of the trees on this line, sticking a common brass pin through at each place for a tree, bending it around the cord so that it will not come out. Red yarn sewed through and tied around the cord " ' would be more visible than pins; but the latter are quickly found if the workman measures the distance by pacing .be- tween them as he walks from one to the other. A new cord will stretch a little at first, but will soon cease to do so. The easiest way to mark the spaces on the cord is to wrap it around the ends of a board cut at the right length, so that every third coil shall be a place for a pin. Thus, if the board is five feet long, by marking every third coil at the end of the board we obtain spaces of thirty feet. The field having been ploughed and fitted for planting, we are now ready for operation. Select a still day, so that the wind will not blow the cord out of place, and then stretch the line along one side of the field, at a suit- able distance from the fence where the first rov/ is to be. Make it as straight as possible, by drawing on it forcibly; a stout cord being better than a weak one on this account. If the land be tolerably level, twenty or thirty rods may be- measured off at a time. Place flat stones or other heavy weights upon it at intervals, to keep it in position; if there
