- Jgrwnlteral. From Ie Indiana Farmer. VEGETATION OF SEEDS. Among the important questions which interest the gardener, is that which relates to the proper time for putting his seeds in to the ground. It is well known that dif ferent seeds require very dif'erent temper atures to effect their germination; and that some plants flourish where others would speedily perish. While the rein-deer moss thrives best on the snow-capped mountains of Norway, other plants are found spread ing themselves over the burning kurface of the island of Tanna. Familiar as thise truths are, I believe no experiments have been heretofore made to ascertain the precise temperature most favorable to the germination of different seeds. To give a staring point to this question. and to enlist others in the investi gation, I proffer the subjoined table for publication. It is the result of numerous experiments which I made in 1839 & 1840. My object was to determine what temper ature at noon, was the most congenial to the vegetation of the different seeds which I subjected to experiment. For this pur pose I planted the seeds at various pe riods;. noting the state of the thermnomneter every day, until the plants appeared above ground. These experiments being repeat ed, and in every instance giving very .ear ly the same average temperature, -when the period of-germination was the same. has led me to assume as correct, the fol lowing propositions: 1. When the temperature at noon is-giv en. (other things being equal,) the time necessary for the developetment of a seed, may be ascertained. 2. If the period orgermination be given, the meridian temperature of the country, during that period may be determined. 3. Some r-eeds require a much higher temperature than others to make them veg etate. 4. When the seed fructifies in the same year in which it is planted, t'e proper time for putting it into the ground is when the meridian temperature is such as to produce vegetation in the shortest period. 5. Au increase of temperature beyond a certain point does not expedite the vegeta tive process. 6. A complete table of ihe kind propos ed, would be applicable to all parts of the world. The letter (s) in the subjoined table, sig nifies that the seeds were soaked in water for ten or twelve hours previous to plant ing them. TABLE.

It will serve to in form the young gardener when he may ex pect his plants to appear above ground ; he will discover, that in some cases he must wait a long time. It also shows clear -ly the advantage of'soaking the seed : some of the soaked peas, for example, came up in 11 days; while those that were not so treated required 14 days, even with the ad vantage of six degrees more heat. The difference is. still more remarkable in the beet seeds. A certain writer says parsley seeds "will seldom vegetate ander five weeks;" but adds he, "if soaked 12 hours in water with sulphur. they wvill come up to less than a fortnight." I have piroved by careful experiment that there is no va Iue in the sulphur; water answers eqtually well, as the water wvith that addition. The Lima Bean lying 20 days in the groand of *the usual dang~ness of spring, partially de cays; and if at comes up, it seldom ma -t uresits fruit, Persons therefore living in *a latitude wvhose highest meredian temper ature barely readhes 62 degrees, (see table) should not plant this seed; nor should * they do it in any latitude until the noon temperatur attains -to 70 or 80 degi-ees. heat is therefore tbe proper one to piant the beans in. Those who plant earlier, wOll not realize a perfect crou; and indeed if much earlier, they will scarcely find one mature pod. It is obvious that the color and 4uality of, the soil produce a material influence upon .the vegetative process. So that if the ground Le of a very dark color; or inher ently warm; or very n iist; or very dry; germination will be more or less rapid, ac cording to the operation of these extraor dinary agencies; and of course, there will he a proportionate deviation from our tah ular periods and tet peratitures. Bus in this case, the deviation, I think, would he uni form througiout the casalogue. If any given seed should grninate a few lays sooner, in an unusually warm soil, all the other seeds would be proportionably ear lier in their growth; so that the ratios men tioned in the table would he preserved. I find by recurring to my rieteorological records, that at Richmond, latitude 39* 51', the average.temperattre at noon, of the 3-1 month is 53 degrees. 4th " 61 Sih - " 68 6th " 75 7th " 77 I should be pleased to see reportsofrsim ilar experiments to the atove, from the scientific readers of this paper, livingiin dif ferent parts of the State. Useful results, I conceive, would be produced by such a course of investigation. I hope some in the northeru, sithern, nrd western por tions of our State, will not let she ensuinC season pass over without directing their atsantiion to thesubject; and that they will communicate the results of their experi ments.

If any class of cit izens can claim eq'uali ty with the yeomanry of the country, the cultivators oflthe soil, it is the hard-aiSted and industrious Mechanics. Long have they been looked upon as inferiors and vas sal*-of whomi !-ofthe virtuous, good, and the great 1 No: but of the self-wtiled, the haughty, the irresponsible, the speculators, [h shavers, the idlers, the rebellious, the swindlers, the lovers of pleasure imore than the-lovers of God, with which the laud is infested. Among a certaiu class, the name ofanmechanicis often viewed with teproach, and it is lrequenstly the case that it is con sidered disreputable and coudescending to walk the streets or be found in converse with a plain and honest shop-laborer. Are they a msere dreg in the community, and not fit associates for the very cream of the best society ! It has been said in days ronl. gone by, that " An honest man is the noblest work of God." and this noble sentimtent becomses trite and unfashiouable in shese days of ltimsy re tinemseut and high life, upon the earmgs of those who would not deign to violate the solemu behest, that nan should gamn tis living by the " sweat of his brow 1" Fron the odium that is avon; to be cast, we are constrained to ask, who are these "home spun" sturdy mechanics, that are not equal to nature's noblemen ? They are the in ventors and makers of all the world's usa bles. They are the individtals that make our houses, our furniture, our tixtures, aud. our garmtents; are they not great indeed ? -To thei we are indebted for every conve nience, and almost every luxury of life and it' farmers can, with propriety, be styl ed the back-ho,.e of society, mechanics shoulJ at leass, claim to be thte pillars aund supplorts oif the lfabric. TCo appreciate his vensera ble pirofession, it most be cotnsidet-ed that me-chaniics is ;a science whticha has chasmed the attentiont ot the intelligent of' all statisons anid nations. The termn is from a word in Greek, which signilies a machine, a contr'ivance, asnd is she sci'ence which treOats of loirce and mot tion-Forces acting on bodies msay either pr-oduce rest or motion. Ia the former case they tire treated under statistics, anid in the latter under dynamics. Th'le first machine constructed, of' which we have knowledge, was th'e unsiverse, "whose tmak er and tbuildetr" is the Author of atll things. In this gratnd mnachintery wtsdosm and mtight are displayed, be3 and tie comprehsCiention of tian. Worlds uplotn wos-lds have bseent put forth, all sutbject to the samte g'ravntat iug power, thusa olds each its its plaice; and thus it sht-stad not be astoma~hinsg whsen we r-ellect that it was this Archt-metchtass that '-stretches out the ntih over the emapty place, and hunwg thle ear-th upson no hitg,"' that it is ile whto - measured the waters in the hsol low of his iatnd, aitd meted out heavetn'with a spatn, ansd cosm preeiided the dust of the cat'rin int a mten sure, aind weighed the mosuttais ains scales, and the hills ts a batlance." Thlis is ntot the only evidence oh an tlustriou~s msechsan ie. Jesus Chsriss si.siself wits a carpementr, and the Apostle Paul a temi-miakes. But time would f ail to sp~eaks of the htonoraible mechanics of the wvorld. TIhe namtie oh' Franklitn, if tnt the exampsile, is deeply graven upon the hiear-ts..oif the Aiier-icaus people, and the natme of .ttdge iBuel wi'll never lhe defaiced fromi ste memotry of thec patriotic and the good, as was the toast who set his own typie, anid woirked his ownt press, while lie was accumnulting ssti ient stores of kntowledge, wish which ste farts stg com imunity ba ve been so richly blessed. Thousands of exampi Iles are faiih'su Iy ecorded in ste woild's history of men whjo have distinguished thsemtselves for their knowledge anid usefulness that have guidi ed the plante, drivesn the shoe mtakes-'s awl, and itndeed in following every working pur suit, by whsichs manai has heen aible to piro ure ass hosnest ivisig. We shpe to see use sime cosme when msechtanics will be esteemt ed, by the most inteliligenss, as ranokinag high atoong the useful anid resptected citizetns of the laud. Let the young be educated anud traisned for some mecihansical avtcations, in stead of the almost useiess asnd empty pro fessions, and theirstatiost will soon becomse enviable and respectable.

The Periarnnaces of A GYL E npotn the Turf, have placed him in the very first rank ofAamerican llorses as a Racer, while those of his get enile him to an eqtal standing as a Stallion. He started first at Orange burg. S. C. in January 1834, anr ran at Barnwell.

Bertrand junior. (twice) Vertutraus, &c. &c. ie never lost a heat, and was rarely if ever pila up to his speed, until his extraordinary defena by John Bascombe in April, 18:36, the circumstances of which are familiar to every one. Subse.quently he was trained and run with great success in Vircinia; and in May last on the Central Course t Baltimore, after rimaning for the first ient of t hree miles, and losing it by a head in 5 minutes 47-seconds, he won the second heat in 5 minutes, 40 seconds, being the best second heal of three miles recorded in the history of the American Tnrf, and the most brilliant performatce of a year sur passing all others in the richness of its an nals. During the same week, and on the same course, one of his daughters, Kaae Seaton, won the great sweepstakes of $1000, beating a fine field with great ease; such a coincidence being hitherto unknown upon the Turf. ARGYLE stood but one season and to a limited number of mares, inot many of which were thorough bred, yet his colts have won nine out of The eleven races fo which they have been started, beating at one, two, and three miles, the get of many of our best Stallions, besides several in ported colts, some of them in first-rate .-mine. Two of his get, Governor Butler. and' Kate Seaton, are now unrivalle.tiin. the Turf by any thiig of their age.
