Earth is my bride. and oh! I love The mountain's frown as it looet rown When it battleth with the storm; When it laugheth to scorn the lightning's flash, And its echos roll back the thunders crash When a ray of soft sunshine steals through from above, And pencils the scene with the beauty I love. The Earth is ny bride; and oh! Ilove When te moonlight has shadowed the glen, And to drink in her beauty the'n; For there glitters a spell in each silvery ray, That melteth the clouds ofsorrow away; And a low sweet tone fron the mountain side, Breathing of peace, is the voice of my bride. The Earth is any bride ; and her love hath beenu Since my childhood, the truest and best The sweetest beam on the darken'd stream, That bears me upon its breast: Her god-night kiss is lingeriae: now, In the evening breeze. on my fevered brow, And softer than mortal music may be, Are the tones of her lute-like lullay More dear to my heart than all besides, k the guardian love of my chosen Bride. .fpricultural.

I will, as well as I am able, put you in possessiou of all the information which I posseu, on the subject of wheat. I have now, for 21 years. annually sowed a ereop a of wheat: and I have nuifarmsly made snine, - although in two years, that some was very lit le, and very indifferentt. Yet, oi the % lole, I e have generally wade enough fur the use of ny imily, and I am periuaded that there are fuov arners, who cannot do as well, and mauy who cat do abundneitly better. The attention should be first directed to the - selection of Peed. It is an old saying, that "a change from sand is nochange at all." by which is meant, when you change your seed wheat. do nit take froa a sandy soil. A strntag clay soil gives tile heat varieties of wheat. For our climaate, wheat from the North or West does not sI answer well: it io generally too late, and is; more liable to the riot. Ir we could olitaina wheat from paraUehbrof latitude in the !ld we Id, I corresponding with onr's. I think it woiuld asic. ceed admirably.

I have suaceeded ini raising atbout teat baush clm of corconsat, whlicha I amt reatling, and find to produce a pountd of silk toe the 1Lu.hael. These worms were fed foaurtimaes a day : slacked iame uased on them three timens- a week, and wero healthy, althouigh the season was auuanally cold. I rec'eiyed a smtall lot of Meirabel Jantno ' eggs from G. B Smith, Esq. whichl hatcaedt on the 14th of Aprtl, these were fed on your Bur snntoan Frnmea wardin to die-ia. t...a conditio, are just those which tend to pre serve the life of the stock after heading down. To carry ny purpose into effect, I proceeded contrary to some of the ordin ary rules for grating. In the middle of July, I selected thescoin from thirty trees, with four or five eyes, taking care tochoose those which contained leaf buds. The stock chosen, were moderately growing in stead of thrifty stocks, and were trees of the grew th of that season fron the aseed. Bfelnre heading down, I passed a long sharp knife down entirely round the tree, and severed all the lateral roots at the distance ofibree or four inches from the trunk, ac cording to its growth. This done, the trees were headed down at a point where i the stem was just the size ofthescion,ora little larger, as the scions were inserted a I little on one side of the pith. The inser tions were then secured by a narrow strip of sheet lead, wound spirally over the whole length of the cleft, and a snall ball of grafting elay put over the whole. To my gratification every scion inserted in this way grew oflinely, and the coming season will doubtless make hattdsone trees. I do nut ktow that the lead binding or mode of insertion is essential, and althou::h I have tried no other plan, yet I presume that other methods will auswer equally well, provided the preliminary steps are proper ly attend to. On other stocks I have graft ed with success, with no other hinding or protection than the strip of lead, and have used lead ligatures, with great expedition nud success in budding. The introduc tion of lead ligatures was metely an expe rimen with a view to expedito grafting atd budding in large nursery operations. Thtts far I am inclined to give the prefer ences to the old methods. When headina down the stocks, I took care in every case to leave either one or two snall shtoots, Imne leaves, or, several tascent huds in order to continue all the functious of the tree until nion lhad taken place between the sciou and ths stalk. As soon as the buds of the scion began topit forth, all bo low upon thetock was pruned afl' When the scions were taken from the trees, the leaves were all removed as ins budding leaving only a small portion of the foot stalk. The clay and ligatures were remo ed in the fall when vegetation had decea ond the wonudi wete all well closed. sure that it is absolutely essen ing growing on the stalk, er some without.

There rieties, of wh.ichl the Norfolk id Globe are as productive as any, while sotme of the smaller kinds, among which the loug turnip holds a prominent place. 'are best for cooking. The soil best calen lated fiarthe turnip is a rich mold abound ing in vegetable matter. and newly cleared lands atre tound admirably adapted to their growth, the soil being usually free fron weeds, and the ashes made by burning be itng one of the best dressings that can be applied i lurnips. Whee c uch lnnds are out to he ltnd. old grass land catrefully turned over and rolled, nod then the sur face natle fine by repeated harrowinag, f#or the reception of tie sed. are found to pro duce ::ond turnips. If the wil is not rich. good compo t inaure htald be- sprcad on the surface and harrowed in, but as old grass lands in richneiss partake somewvhat of the quality it new soils, manuring is rarely necessary. ande in the deca-ying award the vigorous tap rout of the turnip) litnds amtpke nourishment. Turnipts may be sown broadcast or dril led, the latter beinag the preferable way ; antd if a littIle bone dust or poudrette is dril led in wsithn the seed, the plants start more vigoronusly, atnd are aoutner out of the way of their most formidlale~ enemsy, the fly. There is usually far more seed r~owna than is tnecessary, ir equally distributed, and to facilitate this mixitng tine seed with ashes or satnd is practised by many farmers. Eng lish writer-, state thne quatntity of seed re quired per acre at two pounads, but we know by exiperience that one-half this quantity of good seed ou proper soil is met ter than the whole, and were the distribu tion pterfect, otne-fuurth thtis quantity or half a pound wonuld fully seed an acre It is better, however, to err on the safe side. 'and sow ton mnuchs, rather nhara too lit tle seed, as it too thick the young plants mtay be hoed or pulled out. The proper ime of sowing will of course, vary w~ith thne latitude. itn New-York, the best time has been found to be from the 20th to the 27th oftJnly; in the middle and southern pnrts of Pennsylvania, from the last of July to the mniddle of A ugust; and in Ver ginia, from the middle to the last of August is preferred, The turnip, when grown on land lon cutivated, is apt to have the bulb, attacked by the worm, but in virgin soils, or those rarely subjected to cultiva tion, this evil does not attend them. Dressings of sost and ashes have been found useful when they are at tacked by the fly, and in any event sttch dressings oape rate favorably on the plant and may there fore be benefiily employed when there is the least reason to apprehend danger. There ate but few varieties of the turnip, that can, in our country, be preserved for the winter food for animals. The Yellow Aberdeen is an exce prion, as like the ruta b..a. it keeps well in pita or cellars thro' branches, dry or wet, as they came to hand, and slackedlipse reely ; they were put on the frames imsmediately after the third moulting, and wers mt cleaned till they eere done spianang.

CASKMA WORMS. We copied from the Boston Couriet, last week, an excellent article written by D. Haggerston, Esq.. to the President of the Massachusetts Hforticultural Society, announcing that he had discovered acheap and efiectanl made of destroying the Rose Slug. Canker Worm, and other trouble some and destructive insects, and his wish to become a competitor for the Society's premium. The article which Mr. Hag gerston uses is Whale Oil Soap, dissolved at the rate of two pounds rojificen gallon of water. He has used it stronger with out any injury to the plants. hot finds the above mixture effectual in the destructio: of the Insects. In the last volume ofthe Yankee Far mer, page 218. we published a communi' catiiu froms J. B. Pendleton, Esq.,ofSton ington, Conn., and it seems that he has used a similar remedy with great success. The following is the article referred to: Mr. Editor-Sir: I see that there is much trouble in your vicinity, and various darts of New England, with tre Canker worm. I am quite confident that I can prevent them or any other creeping insects frot troubling fruit dr ornameutal trees. 31v method is simple, and easily obtained. I, last spring. procured a gallon of refuse whale oil, to which I added 4 or 5 cents worth ofyellow snuff. The result is, there is not an insect of any kicd on the trees where die oil has brett used. The wood lice are all dead so far up the trees as the oil has been laid oan. and the trs.nks of the tress are as smooth as a glass bottle. I have also tried the sate on Pear, Quince, Peach, Locust and Cherry trees, with as good ef'ect as on the Apple. I think that the addition of a little sulphur would be beneficial. It not only destroys insects; but it potmotes the growth of the trees ve ry much. What is called refuse oil, is that which will not pass through the trainer; this is preferable beca om in 1 lilbe- a sp g would of good fruit to try this sej ~ -ankee Farmer. From te Southern Cabiaet. coay cous. Mr. Editor.-I am happy to see you. and correspondents prcssn; the value of the corn cob upon our wasteful and extrav agnat community. If farmers would only attend a little more to this and some other points of rural economy. they might easi ly save enough to justify a system of im proverent which they a-lmit to fie desira ble, but from which they are frequently deterred by the want of funds. I am ful ly satisfied that there are but few farmers in our community who do not waste more than enough to supply them with the means of ee'ecting inpruvemenis, that in their turu would double their menus of ma L ing others equally as profitable. Go upon a large faru in Virginia, ob serve the niggardliness in providing fences, houses, and fixtures, and the correspon dent waste in food, labor, and destruction of nimplecments. Compare the manage mncta ithj that .ita mtatnufacturing or wer canti le establishmneut, and yoor sea at once, why agriculture is not profitable. Such avstem, or rather suecb a want of' it, would break down any other 'ousiness in the world. But I have been drawn off from the main object of this comimianiention, which was simply to condirm the value of corn cobs, by relatiug to you a circumstance that came within any own knowledge. lu tho wirster of 1816 cnrn w as very' high, and Peter Bedlock, of Dinwiddie, wino as now an independent farmer, was a very poor man, but an excellent manager. Afraid that his corn wrould tnt last, he determined to try, and did, winter his horses upou corn cobs alone, pounded in a common mortar withI his owan hands. They recei ved no other sustenance except long for age, as hay and fodder. Upon this they didl their winter's work, tnd no man ever saw Peter Bedlock drive a poor horse. To this fact I am ready to testify ad you are welcome to give my name to any person who may feel sufficiently interest ed ins it an ask fair it. Yours, 3- I. OOD MEDC1NE Foa HoGs.
