THE EALTH IS .Y EBRIDE.

The. Earth is my bride; and oh! I loto
To pillow my head on her fragrant breast,
'Mid the flowers that bloom, where the son
winds come
And nestle themselves to rest:
er song is the song of the birds at even,
de the sunset lar is smiling in Heaven,
*4;;n their music h -eard by fetintain sq
grove,
And hers is the only-song I love.
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.

In dischaige of the duty assigned to isue, with
other menbers, at the last Ueeting of the Agri
cultural Society. 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

- although in two years, that some was very lit

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.

dated .eune W2. I88I.
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

applied i lurnips. Whee c uch lnnds are

grass lands in richneiss partake somewvhat
of the quality it new soils, manuring is
rarely necessary. ande in the deca-ying

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

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

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

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.
