fallows oats after grass, when the lam! i?*y he supposed to be in good condition.*. He first begins by giving it a cross furrtfw, which is taken as deep as the soil will allffw; The field is then completely water-furrowed; the end furrows and gaw-furrows oeing digg'*d with the spade, in which sitnation it is left for the wiattr. The moment that the ground can be worked in the spring he harrows it according to circumstances, ^ but never breaks down too much at once in cas h change of weather .should ensue. The ploughs am then entered, and one drillharrow allotted to every three ploughs. By taking a nine inch furrow, and running the barrow after the third plough, an interval betwixt the rows of 27 inches is left; and such an interval he thinks fully adequate for Admitting horse, hoes of every description. About foureen d?ys after sowing, the ground is harrowed and water-furrowed ; and in this state it remains till the young plants are lairiy .above trie surface, when tne Dutch hoc or scraper is employed, as form, erly mentioned. Tin's is the mode of plan'injr beans hitherto fx rcise I by Mr. Janiieson, hut he has it in cnnt**nipl->tion to change it in an essential branch, which in favorable seasons must undoubtedly he beneficial ? Instead of sowing with the first sprmgfurrow, which, being taken ehb, does li'tle mo1? ihnn rover ih" S'-ed, he mean** ti> give th^ ground a second deep ploughing in a con'rarv Erection ?o the fiist one, afterwards to harrow i', and then to form drills oft he same widened either by n single fur row or a bout of the plough. In the intervals offhese furrows he will run the harrow, after which the drills will be sht out as in the tur? nip husbandry, and he seed covered. At a suitable time afterwards, the harrows will he drawn across, and the ground levelled, preparatory to the cleaning process. It occurred to me, that the time consumed in slitting out the drills may be saved, were the harrow drove across when the beans are sown ; hut Mr. Jameson obviated 'his re mark, hy saying, that a flush of annu ils was to be dreaded in such n case ; whereas, hy delaying the harrowing two or three weeks, the first crop of weeds would in a great measure be thereby destroyed. The only objection which remains to the plan is, that in soni seasons seed..work may b? so long delayed as to prove injurious to the crop. In every o her respect the proposed change must he attended with important advantages. We have had a few changes of servants at this term, with those not reckoned the best hands, or with whom Mr. Jamicson was dissatisfied. Indeed, it would appear that he possesses such happy knack of m maging his people with judgm nt and de.\. ferity, and nt the same time p"j s them so handsomely, that servants worth the keeping rarely leave him. It is a mark of a good farmer, to regulate his different operations according to the nature of the soil in his possession; and in like manner, a man of prudence and sagacity will at all times govern and direct those below him, according fo their different temp- rs and capacities. June 3. The portion of the land intended for yellow turnips is now seeded; and the several processes were precisely similar to those already descri ed when :he ruta baga was sown, only that a smaller quantity of dung was given. Elliot informs me, that ibis variety has been cultivated hero lor rwo yoars past, atid that it stands the frost nearly as well as rutu baga. fie ndJed, that it is not so shy of growing, and may bo obtained on sods whero the odier would not live. About five acres of horse potatoes, or yams, were also planted, chiefly lor swine foo I, or ua a supply to the cnttie when turnips are wanting. This may sometimes happen in a siormy day ; and Mi. Jom e son takes care to be provided at all hands, so as his bosti il may not suffer. At Mr. Jamu'son's desire I accompanied Elliot a few days ago through the bean fielJs. They have all been once run over with the Dutch hoe, and now the small turnip ploughs are employed to lay away the earth from the sides of the plants, and to form a fresh ridge in the centre of ti?<> interval, which will afterwards he separated and divided by a second applicaiion of the Dutch hoe. The whole formed a pleasant sight, being in superior order to the most of garden culture. The oat-fi Ids are looking well; indeed every thing on the farm has a most thriving appearance. Last week llv horses were put upon green food, and two foeds of oat9 per day, which I learn is the practice here, till the turnip sowing is over, when they are limited to one feed. Oue of my men is employed to cut the grass, and another ties it up in bunches of28 lbs avoidupois weight, four of which are given to each horse p^r day. Twenty cattle th at got ru:n b?ga in'April and May, are nlso carried ort with clover veu them at the stake, and they seem to he thriving well. It takes a man and two horses to bring home the gr is*. us the field is about half a mile froin the homestead.

Mi\ Jamieson is very pointed in having the grass cut equally nod closo by the ground, and saj's, the lower it is cut at this time, so much the (aster and stronger will ike second crop grow afterwards. June 10. All hands are employed about the turnip seed work, and what with ploughs, harrows, rollers, drills und carts, and the tillers and spreaders of dung, a jovial num. | her is upon the (Hd ; but I must describe things in order, otherwise you will not com prehend thenaarc otour operations suffiTbe extent of the field remaintngfor Common turnip is seventy-five acres or thereby, c It had been ploughed four tinv>s over, and T\ ufiereach Ainow immediately harrowed and rolled, so as moisture might bo retained.? Some parts which were rather rough and cloddy, required a r petition of these operant tloos ; and this was performed bv four harliirsaDd one roller, drawn bv two horses. :9l\ This left thirty-eight how* for ploughing, , carting and sowing ; an J these were arA ^ 7 ranged ip the following or h'r. First, Eight ploughs and sixteen horses, for forming and reversing the drills, so as the dung might be covered. 2nd, Six carls and twelve horses to drive out the dung, which was middenod as carried out in winter, adjoining to the field. 3d, Two drills, each drawn by one horse, and sowing two rows at a time. This was the nearest division of the strength could be made, nn l hitherto matters have groceedod with regularity Elliot looks alter the ploughs and drills; Pairoairn fhe spreaders; and the loading of tho carls is under my superintendence. It is a principal object with Mr. J.unieson to have the drill formed, dunged, slit out I and sown, as rapidly as possible, so asrnoisi ture, the soul of vegetation, may bepruser. j ved, upon winch he says every thing dej peuds ; of course, theso opera'ions follow | each other in the quickest manner. How ! *oon that five drills w? re formed, which was done by a bout of a plough to each, the cars entcied ; and tiie dung being laid in small heaps, w is instantly separated by ten spreaders who were divided into two gangs j under the immediate direction of Fairbairn. ^ - ^ 4?Kun a *t tt\ iVtirlc t rour ui m?3 piwu^u> n.v-., ...

The ear's railier pressed upon the ploughs.?though by going at a long step, no obs ruction occurred. Indeed, Mr. Jaruioson had, with his usual attention, selected tiic strongest horses and most active ploughmen for this department of the work. Tiie carts were also divided into J two heads, each having two of my squad to fill; the remainder were lent to Fairbaim, who had his crops of spread' rs made up with some of Howard's pen pi.*; a sieudv man was appointed for drawing out the dung to each head of carts, which Mr. Jamieson considers to be necessary, if you wish the land equally dunged. Altogetner, there were iu the field 35 men, besi les Elliot, Fairb jirn, and mo, I might have included Mr. Jamieson, who did not lave us for an instant, but rode about tie.- tleld from the beginning of each yoking to its conclusion, except when at breakfast. Elliot thinks that seven acres were finished this day and as the carts look 112 lou Is, wttich was 17 to each cart, or 14 to the acre, I apprehend he is not far out in h;s calculation. June 24. Turnip seed is now over, having from first to last been favored with excellent walher. The first sown drills hough the wca her has been dry, fairly above ground,?entirely owing, as Mr. Jamieson declares, to thu sedulous attention bestowed on securing the moans of vegetation. As the sever.d operations went on from first to lust in an uniform trvn. 1 hope the whole will be equally succes fui, as th? different departments of the work were nice, ly balanced. The seed used is all the globe kind, raised on the farm, as Mr. Jamieson Bays he will never trust a soedsmnn for a supply, unless impelled by the most urgent necessity. The ru'a baga and yellow turnip were likewise of his own produce ; and with what he saved of these seeds many of his neighbors have also boon supplied. Fairbaim, with n large detachment of wo. men and boys, is a; this time going through the bean fi< Ids, puling out every weed from the drills to which tire plough had not iic. cess. The tuta baga is thinned and set out, and the y How turnip follows. Fair bairn has about fifty hands, young and old, un. der him ; and it is wonderful to see with what adroitness many of the boys pull attrf shoot the hoe. and how dexterously tli y s<'t out the young plan s. T?i? hay h irvest is also commenced ; and she of my fellows are cutting away this day, and will continue, if the wea'her proves dry, till forty acres are laid on their b-tok. Mr. Jama-son has enjoined me, in the most positive manner, not to allow a scythe to be drawn when the grass is wet, alleging thai such a st?'p would prove injurious to the quality of the hay. In th" event of wetness, he has directed me Jo make the cutlers turn an earth midden at the end of the grass field, to which lime shells were lately driven, so I cannot be at any loss, however the weather should turn out. Elliot is giving the summer fallow break a third furrow, and driving time shells to it. fie first harrows the land, after being gnih. ered up, ond draws out the lime in heaps of a barley firiot, or a bushel and a half each. The ridgt s being 18 fi.et in breadth, have cross furrows diuwn at the like distance, which makes them appear like a dainboard ; nne v<*ry trifling. Six carts ure now employed at the lime, eight ploughs are ridging tip the land, and eight horses at the beans, which are now receiving their last furrows: and, when finished, the corse hoes goes to the ruta huge and turnips. A cart continues to drive grass constantly ; but the horses therein employed are a couple of odd ones, 'uotin* eluded in the rego.ar strength. Notwith.. standing the immense number of hands em . ployed, I assure yuii that there is work at this time for more, if they could be procured; | but this being the busy season with every I farmer, a temporary supp y is not to be ob. tuined. July 8. The bay field is all cut, at least that part originally intended for dry fo d, though Mr. Jamii son sujs that probably a few acres more may be used in the same way, if not needed for the horses and qpttle at the stake. This however will not be determined on till the end oi*the month, by which lime the tare field will be ready for cutting Fairbairn had the charge ot winning and cocking the hay. As the weather proved good, the process were not difficult. It lay one day untouched after being cut; then was turned over ; and in the afternoon of the same day, put up in small hand-cocks, four or five of which were afterwards, put into a fork rick ; and in this state the hay remains till fit for the stack-yard. The turnip field is at hand; so Fuirbairn's squad wrought there in the mornings and at spare times, and was ready for hay work when called for. My men, not at the turnip I a ploughs and grass ou ting, are attached to It him so tongas hay harvest lasts ; and, of c course, I am also under his direciion. ii The fallow break is now wholly ridged k up, and about one third of it limed. I un- tl s and that one half < f the break \va? limed ( at last failow time; so the part that remains v will soon Ik* finished. The lime is to bo ? spread the moment the hay is ricked, which n is to he done by my people, not otherwise 11 engaged, and some of Howard's mm; of d course, the superintendence will fall upon ti me, Mr. Jarnieson says that he means to plough the lime into the ground wi.'h a shallow furrow, then to harrow and lay on the '! dung, and to conclude the process with a 1 seed?furrow about the beginning of autumn. 1 It gives me pleasure to add, that Mr. Jamie son sunt lor me last night after working hours, and inquired concerning your wel- J fire.

SILK. i Those in this country who feared that after nil the attention that had been given to the mulberry, little or no silk would be < made ; and that after the trade in the trees 1 had exhausted itself, little more would be heard of the matter, are we think destined I to be agreeably dissappointed. From all ! parts of the country information is reaching t us of the feeding of worms in numbers of I from 5.000 to 500,000 or a mi.Jion; and I it has proved unattended with any difficulty or trouble, save the mere picking of the I leaves. So far as we have heard, there has < been no failure among the worms from ilis. < ease, und everything indicate that grow- r ing silk will become as regular a branch of < domestic industry, as growiug cotton at i the south, or wheat at the north. The | quantity of raw silk for sale this year, will be t considerable, and vastly increased another. I If it cun be manufactured in this country < (and no one can reasonably doubi this) as I easily aud as certainly as the raw material t can bo produced, we shall soon find the silk I balance of IS or 20 millions against us, f rapidly melting away. One of the most r encouraging things in the growing of silk, ? is, that by the introduction of the muiticuulid, i nd the consequent ease with which the iHves can be gathered, the whole process ??n be conducted by women and children (l the bosom of the family, and without any crious interruption ofoth? r pursuits. From Ire experiments of Mr. Clapp of Hartford, I Connecticut, it appenrsthut 100,000 worms /ill consume daily 50 lbs. ofleaves.

Cher aw Gaz. 1'he following article will he interesting only to our professional readers. Those of this class who have not already seen it, will, we doubt not, thank us for copying it. We once saw a lad with a dislocation of the radius forward, in which a physician after a long and painful effort at reduction?painful to both h mself and patient?finally gave up in despair. Some time after all ir.fl.tinotton and pain in the part had subsided, tho motion of the inn so far changed tha position of the head of the radius, as tc allow considerable freedom of motion to the forearm, and enable the patient to carry hi; hand to the mouth ; thus, in some measure, lessening tho in convenience and awkard de< funnily. - The case was still, however, on ugly one to both physician and patient. Had the physician seen Dr. North's paper, ho might have been spared the mortification which the case must have caused. Dr. North, the au. thor of tho article before us, is a scientific and highly respectable physician of New London, ^Conn.) who in the course of a long profo* siend life, has given to the public original and valuablo views on several srbjacts connected with his profession* some of which he one* row from tho Royal Medical Society of Lon. dun, a spontaneous express on of approbation nnd thanks. Remarks on the Dislocation of the Head oj the Radius orwards. By Eli>h^ North. M. D. Communicated for the New England Journal ol Medicine and Surgery. That Sir Asily Cooper ot London should snv, when treating of dislocations of the elbow joint, that ho had seen only six examples of the dislocation of the head ol tin radius forwards, sruck my mind with astonishment. Equal surprise was also exciled, when he says this luxation appears to be a difficult one to reduce ; and that in the two first cases of the kind all attempts a reduction were unsuccessful. But this surprise was somewhat lessened, when he immediately afterwards informs us, that the i__. w!io t-lrtru'd nnnn h snfii. and ilSi | #i 11 ir(ii noa f'tv- ? ?| ? , i he arm was put ovr back of if, and ex. tension was made from the hand, wi houl im luU>u^ >i?i w>ni-s more commonly found among children. For these, as is well known, ore often pulled by ono arm, and sometimes carelessly, by those who have tile care of them. I have been induced to ro-peruse .Memoir 10th, of Dr. Caldwell's Translation of De. sault on Frac ures and Luxations. From this memoir, it apjvars that even that cdebrated French surgeon was more unfortunate than Sir Asiley Cooper. For he has not even given tho signs, by which it may bo known, when the luxation of the radius over the ulna lias taken place. And even doubts tho accuracy of Duverny and other French surgeons, who report such cases to have happened. He attempts to show, from anatomical considerations, that such an iccidcnt, from violence, must be extremely rare, if it ever occurs. 1: seems also, ,hat wlien Desuult found this kind of luxiion in children complicated with a svveL ng of the joints, he considered it a kind of 'hromc affection, and that sometimes it ;ould not be reduced by the expedients of irr. He lias also neglected, or rather avoided, informing us what those expedients of in were. Now, judging from my own exHirience in similar cases* 1 believe that if he Doctor had known how to replace the jone in such cases, the swelling would have lisnppenred, and that too in a short time, once had n young girl, to vthom another turgi.'on had been called, and who had, as ie said, reduced the shoulder joint. But I bund, uj>on examination, the docioi hud nade a sad mistake. For it was the elbow ind not the shoulder, that had received the njury. The eibow was very much swcl ???*mm?m??? led, for the radius hud been luxated for sev- i eral days. Tit ere was 'no difficulty in < replacing the bone in this case, and the 1 swelling, of course, disappeared in a few < days. I The mode to be tnken to reduce this i bone is os follows : The upj^r arm is to be held firm by an assistant. The surgeon tak ?s hold of the fore-arm of the patient j near the wrist, with one hand, and with the other he grasps the same arm just below ' the elbow, moving his fingers upon the head of the radius. He then applies sufficient extension and supination to the fore-arm, and the moment this is done, he with a sudden and quick movement, preventing the arm from pronatmg, carries the wrist and hand of the patient to the patient's shoulder. at the same time pressing his[ fingers upon the head of the rudius. In this way, 1 hove never failed during a practice of more than thirty years, of reducing this bone ; and that too at the first attempt. I have had children brought to me several miles, who could not use their arms at all; but upon the bone being replaced, would, in a few minutes, make use of them. I hnve generally thought it prudent however, to put their arms in a sling, and sometimes to apply a bandage. New London, Conn. 1824. AMPUTATIOI) AT THE SHOULDER JOINT. On Monday the 2d inst. Dr. Walker, of Charlestown, amputated at the shoulder io.nton a lad at Lynn, under the following very peculiar circumstances. On the 19th of August, A. E. Blood, aged 13 years, was kicked on the shoulder by a horse, while his hand was on his head. The axil, la filled immediately. A physician was sent for, who finding the par s much swollen, but no evidence of anything but a contusion, prescribed the remedies usual in such cases. Eight days from the accident there whs a profusion in the axilln, like a pullet's pg:r, of a bluish color. By the ndvice of Professor G , of New York University. on the fourteenth day. an incision was made ' through the integmenls just over ill inferior edge of the pec:ora!is major. No bl? eJing or ma'ter flowed from the incision ; there was a little bloody serum. The operator not caring to look deeper for mailer, merely dress? d the wound lightly. The next day aterial hemorrhage occurred from his wound This was arrested by a compress and bun Iage, but not so but (hat it (ollowed again the next day and the day after. It was this juncture that Dr. Walker was sent for. He f .-'Und tin* lad pallid from loss of blood, having los', as was estimated by the physician, full two quarts. Ttie purs about the shoulder were very much swollen ; there was no pulsation at the wrist or in the axilla. On examination, pulsation was perceived in tumor. The urm was of nearly natural color and tcmperaiure wi h some appearance of commencing oedema. Dr. Walker stated to tho friends the na. ture of the case, for the cure of which he recommended one or two operations ; ei tlie; ttte lying of ?lw lavian, of ampu a if.>n at ttic shoulder joint. lie slated the dillicu ties and dangers of both operations? the comparative safety of the latter, and inevitable fital result of the former, if, in cutting down fur the artery, he should cut into the aneurismul cavity, and should be unable to find readily auJ secure tlie mouth of the bleeding artery. On a view of all the circumstances of the ens*, the friends desired Dr. Walker to amputate, which he proceeded to do, the subclavian, lining com, pressed, as it passes out of th? chest by nn assistant. The arcri'*s were secured by t mm ?!< > m rtmU w loss of blood. On removing the eongula, about 16 ounces, after the nmpu arion, and looking for the mouth of the artery from which tho bleeding came, the subclavian was found completely severed frtnsvcrseU as it passes under the clavicle, the seperated ends of which were an inch and a half apart?so that had an at:empt been made to move the subclavian, the lad couM hardly have escaped with his life. In what way was the wound of the artery produced ? There was no external wound,""und .he artery was cut short off ns elean as though it had been done with a knife. The lad is now, Sept. 9ih, doing well. Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. FAITHFUL PORTRAIT PAINTING.
