I EUROPEAN AGRICULTURAL TOUR AND SURI VEY\ Several gentlemen interested in the advancement of agricultural science and f; ^tiMtyfovement, and of rural education, have proposed to Mr. Henry Colrnan, late Commissioner of Agricultural Survey of Massachusetts, to visit Europe for those objects. The plan is for him to spend a year in England, in the examination of the Husbandry and Rural Economy of that country : and a year on the continenf, in the examination of Frenc^, FletnSwiss, and German Husbandry, and ,4 ^Specially the Agricultural or Manual 1 Labor Schools and the Experimental Farms. > t It is thought that such an examination, J as yet never undertaken by an American, ! might, if well conducted, essentially con- I duce to the advancement of agricultural knowledge and improvement m this country, and especially serve the cause of rural.and practical education, which is now exciting great interest throughout the United States. The general plan of the survey will conform to Mr. Colruan's Survey of the Agriculture of Massachusetts. Tt is proposed to publish his reports in successive numbers. The first number is expected to appear hy the first of Jan?arv, 1843, and sooner if practicable^ The rest of the numbers will follower' convenient succession, at intofvtfl.s of two or three months. / The whole Ugfrttfnr comprised in eight, or at numbers, of at hast 100j)jges each, handsomely printed in octavo form, stitched and covered, g and embellished with necessary and useI ful drawings and engravings, title pages, I and index. The cost will he 50 cents each num. * ** tl'Krt OtlK her, to sunscri i)crs. vfciiiicmcM ? iiu . scribe, are understood as subscribing for the whole work. As the enterprise involves of necessity a large expense, it is expected that one dollar per copy will be paid on subscribing; or, otherwise, one dollar on the delivery of the first nnmber; one on the delivery of the second number; one on the delivery of the fifth number ; one on the delivery of the seventh number; and one on the delivery of the ninth number, should the work be extended to ten num.bcrs. Mr. Colman will leave for Europe as soon as the subscription will warrant the undertaking. i An early return is respectfully requested x>f gentlemen to whom this is sent, ad. dressed to Henry Colman, Rochester, N, Y.; to Little & Brown, Boston, Mass.; or to Luther Tucker, Cultivator Office, Albany, N. Y. It will be seen from the above adver| tisement, that the subscriber contemplates a tour in Europe for agricultural inquiry f and observation. This enterprise has Ween commenced under the encouragement of sonic of the most distinguished friends f- and advocates of agricultural improve. I ment in the country; and with a strong | conviction on his own part, after giving * * mature consideration, that Igr IO II UIC in" lift in no manner coultl he, in his humble sphere, render so essential a service to l&^^he groat cause which lie has so long had | a^h^art, the cause of an improved husl bandry, and the enlargement of the com[. forts and the elevation of the character I and condition of the rural classes. \ He has had the greatest satisfaction in jf finding so cheerful and liberal a co-opeI ration in his enterprise, not merely of I personal friends, but of gentlemen in va rious parts of the country, upon whose | kindness he had no claim, from an avowed I conviction of the great utility of the un[ dertaking if it can be well executed.? The Massachusetts Society for promoting agriculture, with that signal liberality and intelligence by which their measures k have always been directed, have subscribed "far one hundred copies of the Reports, intendiog them for distribution in ^v^ricultural premiums, or otherwise. The WrSjL??slrr County Agricultural Society kLL ?*^N^h ut*U t s, which may justly claim of a pattern society in it> ! zeal^fT the practical wisdom of its men surVtor agricultural improvement, hav< impropriated two hundred dollars from it funds for the same object. The Esse: County Agricultural Society, Mass. have, us in the former case, distinctly and emphatically approved the object by their resolutions, and added the more sub stantial encouragement of a subscriptior for twenty.five copies, with the exprcs. sion of their regret that, on account ol recent drafts upon their funds, they were unable to do more. The Berkshire Agricultural Society in Massachusetts, at an informal meeting of the Board of Trustees, have likewise pledged their liberal co-operation, which will he confirmed at their regular meeting. The Ontario Agricultural Society, N. Y... besides passing resolutions highly commendatory of the project, have followed in the footsteps of the Worcester Agricultural Society.? These are all the agricultural societies in D ? the country before which the subject has, as vet. been brought. J ' o A single pul)Iic spirited individual in the county of Seneca, Judge Sackett, has made himself personally responsible for one hundred copies of the Reports, for that society and county. Another individual, near Boston, whose patronage of every good enterprise-is well known, and whom Heaven seems to have blessed with wealth only that he might do good '.vith it, has made a subscription for one bundred copies. Another individual, equally distinguished through a long life for his public spirit, has subscribed for fifty copies. Thirteen individuals have subscribed for twenty-five copies each ; five, for ten each ; and many for five and lesser numbers. Indeed, the subscription has scarcely been presented to an individual who has refused his aid, or hesitated as to the utility of the pioject; and embraces many of the best names in the country. The subscriber would do great injustice to his own grateful feelings, if he did not acknowledge in these subscriptions, much of personal kindness and confidence, testimonials of regard and good will which be cannot too highly estimate ; nut at the same time, he is equally happy in knowing^^^ttothing 0f this sort would [t a not the object itself <#f^knowfedged public utility. It may be said that English or European agriculture- cannot be adapted to our condition. A difference in climate, in soil) in itic price ui, ur hiciim^ hi pitjv.ui> ing labor, and in various circumstances which are obvious, must, of course, materially affect the agriculture of each country!; but, at the same time, there must be much that is general which is equally applicable to both. In countries where the agricultural art has been carried to so great a degree of perfection as in England and some parts of the continent, there must be a great deal to be learned, which cannot fail to be highly instructive and useful. If it be said that this can be learned from books, we can only reply that it is books upon this subject, which we design to put into the hands of our farmers; and with this difference : The accounts we have had of foreign agriculture have been, in most instances, from foreigners themselves. In such cases, it is to be expected, from their long familiarity with their own course of husbandry, that many things would escape notice or not be deemed worthy of obscr vation, and yet in themselves quite important, which would at once strike the notice of a stranger; and it is our object to enable the American farmer to look at foreign agriculture with American eyes. But many improvements are now going on, in England in particular, of the highest importance, in some respects vastly reducing the expenses of cultivation ; in some, more than doubling the crops.? The process of sub-soil ploughing and under-ground draining, the practice of irrigation, the introduction of a variety of new manures?manures of a portable, concentrated, and most active character, are matters exciting great attention, and of which, besides the information obtained from foreign agricultural periodicals, much more is doubtless to be learnt from personal inquiry and observation. The product of wheat has been in many parts of Cireat Britain actually doubled by improved modes of culture. What can he more important than to know precisely and fully what these modes can he? The quality of the dairy products ol England, and of some parts of the conti. ncnt, are universally admitted to he much superior to our own in general, and in ronrLrnfc ill tllO World. tllOV COinmaiK! V/0? ... ? - - 9 - J a higher price. It must be a great gain if by any exact information to be obtaincr abroad, our dairy produce, as most cer tainlv can be dor.p, can be brought int< an equal competition with others. Tlx 1 new Tariff laws of England, now pro ' posing to open English ports to many o oiir agricultural products, especially it the articles of cured provisions, it is obvi oiisly of high importance to learn precise i lv in what form they may be best sent in ; to their market?, since the succes?of sue! J A 2 -J shipments must materially depend on this e ! circumstance. s The production of silk in this country t is destined to he, or is capable of he, coining a most important and profitable ' branch of rural industry. It is obvious. r ly of great moment to learn the whole i - course of treatment of the worms and the i management of the filatures in countries ; where*the ?rt has been longest pursued) f and carried to a high degree of perfeci i tion. 1 Much discussion has been had in our agricultural conventions, on the subject of establishing Experimental Farms and Agricultural or Manual Labor Schools. As yet, no such establishments can be said to exist among us but in a limited or very qualified degree. In Europe they have existed for some time; and under I the patronage of the Government in France, and, we believe, in seme other States of Europe, they have been established on a liberal scale; and the course of education pursued is highly sci! entific and enlarged. If for no other object than to ascertain with exactness and ! detail, the condition and success of these J establishments, the subscriber feels that ! in his mission he may render a most valuI able service to the country. But were nothing else gained than the drawing of public attention to these subjects, and stimulating and encouraging that awakened zeal in the cause of agricultural improvement, which is now rife throughout the country, and consequently quickening our own efforts for our own .progress, no smail benefit to the individual and public must accrue. The subscriber might much enlarge upon this subject, but he would not task too severely the indulgence of his readers. The expenses of the enterprise be| ing of necessity very great, it is indi.spen' I-1 ? ..U I ,1 im.aai1ha ft 1 ft oi.Ia SHUIK inai lit; aiKiuiu |IIUV.UIC a iaigc au>/scription. Sufficient subscriptions have not yet been made perfectly to secure the expenses; but the confident expectation of completing such a number, warrants the subscriber in saying that he designs to leave in the coming spring. In the mean time, he respectfully asks of those perAal friends and the friends of agri- , culture, throughout the country, disposed , to favor the project, tj transmit their j nnmcs to him at aiT~earry~tlaier *1 masters are at lil>erty to do this free of j expense; and any individual procuring a j number of names and becoming respon- 1 sihle for their payment, sl^all receive a 1 very liberal commission. The amount of a subscription it is oh- 1 vious, when it is considered that there 1 will he two or three years to pay it in, is ~ very small. It may four?it may be five dollars, according to the number of the reports issued in the course of that | time. No advance is desired where the undersigned is not known to the individual making a subscription ; or where for any reason there is a reluctance in making such advance. The reports will he sent to all the large cities, where there are subscribers, and delivered without charge, unless where ordered to be sent by mail. After the first of March ensuing, the subscriber may be addressed by mail or otherwise at Boston, Massachusetts. 0^7" The subscriber has already the I promise from many friends, of letters of ! introduction to their friends in England j or on the continent; and he hegs leave j to say) that he shall feel himself particularly honored and obliged by any letters of introduction to any gentleman who would welcome his mission or in any way assist its objects, or otherwise render him any office of civility or kindness. ' IIis objects being wholly public, he will anxiously avail himself of every advan1 tage and facility of intercourse and observation with intelligent and respectable persons abroad. HENRY COLMAX. Rochester, Jan. 2, 1843. VALUE OF PLASTER. I The subjoined extract fiorn a communication, which appeared in the last Massachusetts Ploughman, speaks in just terms of the value of Plaster as a manure, and as the experience of the writer ac- \ cords in results with our own, we give it . insertion.?Am. Farmer. ''In passing through Pennsylvania, ! which I frequently did, I heard much said ! pf the benefits of Plaster of Paris ; a great ?' many of the farmers, I was told, would come fifty miles to Philadelphia, in the time of last war, and give twenty dollars i per ton for Plaster, and let their manure i go down the stream rather than to be at I the trouble to cart it on their lands. I do * ' 1.??. n AnnAHinrr r\ C if Cr\r T , noi SpUcllV (11 11113 ?!? a|;|jiuiiii^ ui ii( ivi *. | think every farmer ought to make as much manure us possible. I was told the way } the Dutch farmers used it there was to , : sow clover and put one or two bushels of plaster to the acre and plough in the crop and sow wheat. I was informed in Baltimore that a great deal of land on the 1 eastern shore of Maryland which had * been worn out by raising tobacco and " corn had been reclaimed by the use of plaster. Having got my ideas so raised, h the first thing I did after I got a piece of ?' *- * a j land was to try it, and in throe weeks j aftei I applied it. On examination I i : thought as the Queen of Shoba did when i she visited King Solomon, ' the half had ! . ! not been told moit was applied to a ! nippo (if t/ia mo/?il udiicli lind ,o/ion(lir i I IWUKI T OV/II TT II IV I I IIUU I tlyVH I' V | been laid down and one crop of hay cut I from it, say half a ton to the acre. On the first examination after the plaster was applied there was three times as much as where there was none. A part of this piece of land has been kept fur a pasture ever since and never has been ploughed, and I think I can safely say there is not another piece of land in town that produces more feed, it has frequently been plastered since, and occasionally ashes h$ve been applied as a top-dressing.? The manure the cattle have dropped has every year been gathered up and put into the manure heap, so that it has no other i dressing but plaster and ashes except the urine from the cattle. i Well, being so well pleased with the I result of this small experiment I tried it a J large scaie on my farm with as favorable < results. On many places three bushels of . plaster would make more grass grow than I twenty loads of manure. I fenced off ^ nine acres that had been fed very close 1 ivtr oUa/il\ f*r\? n nn rv* I\r* w /?T ?*aa O. 1/1 i f ii j i wi a uuiiHst;! i j v5i no j 1111 uaa } the highest part where the sheep had gen- t enlly lain through the nights; this was t plastered at the rate of three bushels to \ the acre; the next season it pastured ( from May to September twelve cows, at 1 the rate of three-fourths of an acre to a t cow, and they had as much feed as they r could eat. and on a great part of it we i could have mowed a good crop in hay i time. From this time people began to use plaster considerably, and found a very ? great benefit from it; many of the old pas- 1 tures which were covered over with moss * were converted into beautiful fields of clo- I vcr ; but strange to tell, just on the eve * when our pastures began to be clothed * with a beautiful verdure and our farms f bid fair to produce double what they were f wont to do, there was a story got up by r some gossip which spread like wild-fire, ? that this plaster which had produced such c wonderful effects was not what it was I" craeked ug to he ; that it would ruin the P land if we continued to use it; if it did t not happen in our day it would in our i childrens'; that it would run our land all I L:ut and our children would become beg- b ^ars. Now as this story, like other hug- u SeaTS, fiflsTiad" its day, 1 find they are be- v ginning very moderately to use it again, r Utopc that no farmer will rest satisfied t until he has given it a fair trial; the v expense is very trifling ; at present I be- v lievc it can be bought for two dollars per i: ton ; that it won't cost more than twenty- t five cents per bushel, three bushels per f I I 1 1 I 1? ll L . t _ acre, which is a great picniy ; mai iihj y expense of manuring an acre is seventy- ci five cents, which will pay but a small part c of the expense of carting.on any other c kind of manure if you had it given to you. t Wherever the plaster will do any good it r ought to be applied ; and the only way I s know of is to try it. On some land it will I do no good I am confident. I had a t large piece of plain on my farm, on which s I could not see the least benefit from it; t this was a deep black loam and rather I moist; as soon as I went from this plain, f over nil the hills it worked wonders. f Yours with respect", Bknj. Wheeler. < Farmingham, Jan. 2d, 1843. < I From the Southern Planter. ] ruta baga. < Messrs. Editors,?In my communication on the culture of the white enrrot, I promised to give you my method of culti- ! voting, and the product of my field of ! Riita Bagas. The piece you saw when at my farm, contained about three and a half acres, ' and had lain in pasture a number of years; : it was carefully turned over in the fall of < 1840 ; and in the spring following, cross- ( ploughed and harrowed, and laid out in fnrrows two nnd a half feet apart, and planted with potatoes. The knolls, which i incline more to sand, were manured with ' horn-shavings and hogs' bristles, one handful to each set. Twelve rows through 1 the middle were manured with salt mack orcl, which were spoiled, half a fish to cv. ery set. It was an unfavorable season for potataes, a severe drought in the summer having injured their growth. The rows manurcj^with the salt fish, I noticed, stood the drought much better than any other part of the field ; vines large and of a dark healthy color, when the others were brown and shrivelled, and on digging we found them of a large and even size, and of excellent quality, and the yield far t hotter than any other part of the field, j Last winter, I purchased twenty-six ; two horse loads of the refuse of a glue factory, consisting of lime, bones, wool, hair, and pieces of pelt, some of which had lain j for two or three years. To twenty loads of this I added forty loads of yard manure, anil had it well mixed. In the spring it was ploughed seven inches dpep, and left until the middle of June, when the ma. nure was hauled on and evenly spread, t nil rvppnt nhoilt three- I X iltwil V. KJ \*% \J" >11 i 1 . : quarters of an acre, on winch was put six ; toads of the factory refuse, without any yard manure. The piece was then ploughed and harrowed, thoroughly mix. ' ing the soil and manure. It was then i thrown into ridges twenty-feeveu inches apart, the same as for the carrots; fops flattened with the roller, nnd seed denosf.! I ted with the drill, (Bemcnt's,) on the 18th of June. < On that part of the field where the yard i * manure was applied, the plants made their < appearance on the fourth day after sow. \ ing, while on that part where the refuse of I the glue fnctory was put, they'showed f very few plants until the tenth dav, and (i then they were sickly in appearance, and p grew so tardily that the flea devoured p them about as fast as they made their appearance. In fact, we were obliged to g transplant to fill up vacancies, on the il whole three-quarters of an acre?showing most conclusively that the ruta bagas u require a quick and active manure to give tl them an early 9tart to get them out of ? the way of their greatest enemy, the tur nip flea or beetle. On the 18th of July, the cultivator was * run between the rows, and they were thinned with the hoe in the same manner is the carrots, leaving the plants from eight to ten inches apart in the drills. In i ^ \ugust, the cultivator was again run 1 hrough them, and thev were hoed at inter- i rata when convenient. Nothing more ^ -vas done to them until we commenced ^ julling in November. The crop meas- ^ ired 2,355 bushels. I will here remark, hat when the salt fish was used the year )revious, it was strikingly visible, at some ^ listance ; the tops being of a darker hue, oj ligher, and more vigorous, and they con- ^ inued 60 through the summer, and on ^ aising we found them thicker and longer n the neck and smaller in the bulb, show. _ Cf ng that salt will increase the top at the sxpense of the bottom. . The greater part of the cr3p was stowed ^ n a cellar?the remainder was pat in leaps, in the field, for feeding my ewes j" vhen they have lambs in the spring. The CJ leaps are made in the following maimer; vhich I never knew to fail, when they ^ vere properly attended to. A trench six eet wide, of any length required, and one ~ oot deep, is dug in a dry situation, geneally on a knoll; the root?*are thrown ^ nto this trench and piled up in the form f a roof. A coat of straight straw of rom eight to ten inches in thickness, is iut on in such a position as to conduct he water off, if any should reach it.? Sarth is now thrown on by digging a m rench around the heap, beginning at the se ?*? .1 ! j iu? ...i.i.. i luiiuiu unu uruwuu umii tut; vjhuic aj 9 covered.

The^french will prevent the a vater from getting into the heap. There w s more danger of getting the covering too th hick than too thin. I have suffered more rom heat than fro9t. After the earth is th >ut on, it should be carefully clapped dr lown with the spade, to make it more su effectually shed the rains. After a few bl lays I take a crowbar and thrust it in the ar op along the ridge down into the heap, it* )o matter if it breaks some of the roots, ind open holes about three feet apart, to th et the gas or vapor off, whiclTis genera. d< ed by- a partial fermentation. A flat til itone, raised a little, on one edge set up al in inch or twq, or a wisp of straw may w >e put into thcholes to prevent the rain at rom getting in, which completes the work bt or the winter. tu With me the ruta baga is a valuable re :rop.?They afford the greatest quantity if food, for my stock, from an acre, while bi they seem to exhaust the land less and b< less and leave it in the best possible con- n Jition for a succeeding crop. It is too j-ich tf for oats, but well calculated for barley, tl and clover seed always " takes'* well, hi sown with it. I feed them to my cattle, s< sheep, hogs, (boiled,) and occasionally to tl my horses.
