EEPZ5IMENTS IN FEED35o SILK WORMS,
CLTIVATsINO wUEAT. &C.
The letter below, written by Dr. Springs
of Warren Co. will evidently be read with
much interest. As to the best mude of
flossing cocomns, about which fie euquires,
we can only say, we have tried no oiler
plan hut that or pulling away the flss with
the fisgers; and an to the idea of limne and
sulphur preventing the depredations of the
Hessian fly, we have no fasess to state ;it
point. and nothing less can have any
weight.
nMesrs. Editors-I have noticed a call
in ~evral numbers of the Agriculturist, for
facts-I have a few which I will commu
niee. sed which, i yot; think worth pub
lishinig. vou are at liberty to do as. For
the first time I have been lain some at
tenion to the culture of Silk, and I am
happy to say I have succeeded beyond my
most sanguine expectaaions. I led, by way
of experamnest. about 15.000 worms, and
of that number I lous perhaps 100. They
appeared petfectly healthy until the lase
moulting. when they %ould swell near the
head, to.n purple anid die-when dead.
they w uld soon smell very ofensive. I
am well satisfied that mine died in conse
quence of being crowded, a want or air.
and os being cleaned often enough after
the second uoulting. My worms were
hatched the middle of April-were fed first
en lettur, anterwards on common mulber
ry and maulicaulis mixed, but principally
do The common mullerry. The leave*
were generally dry, though sometimes they I
were wet. The worms were not cleaned 4
oftener than twice a week at first, std for i
the two last weeks but once a week.- I
They were fed in. tF.- upper rooms or ny
4weaing house; there are two windows i v
one conm opposite each other, bat in the f
other romamtibere is but oe-it was in this %
room sad on that side desitute of a win- I1
dow, That I n( tmy woems died. There was i
no re in the rooms, nor were they warm- I
ed its any way from the. time they were j
batched until they wound up; nor were the a
winaws ever closed except during the i
night or rainy o very damp misty weath- c
or. . Asaanoher worna died i
&M y fi 7- had ,a
pare of worns which I understood were (i
dying very fast-I imamediately visited
them to see whether I could eseecsain the P
cause, which I had on difficulty in doing. ii
They were up stairs in a close room, ven- 11
tilated by as asertiure only the size of a d
piaise of glass, shielded by the shingles only fl
Irnst the raym' of the suns, and they were gi
er..aded. I advixed tbem to remove them n
toa cuol airy roomas andl sprinkle or sift a
lime over them every other diay at least; r
they did so, and informed me they lost e
none after they tiove. them.
A, genleman in M'Minnvillee fed a j
great many nornms this seassn, in soame
chase badly ventilated room up s'airs-shey p
did well until near groan, when they *
comitmeuced dying by thousands; nor was
the disease arrested until they were remiss
ved to well aired ronnis, when they be- o
came healthy. '
My wife has reeled off the cocoons on tse p
comanon reel, and althnugh they were the tl
first she triel to reelorever saw reeled, she n
reeledl them with but little trosuble-the F
most trublet is to loss them-(will you be c
so good as to state itie anost expsditiosti e5
way of flussiig the ccton!) She has i
twised. doubled and twisted some sewina %
silk. wiich our mnerchants say is in no re- if
spect inferior to the best Italian, and i: is o
much stronger. I haxe not the least doubt A
bus Trennestsee can be mnade one ofthme prin- e
espual silk growing States in the Untion. I h
ried anexperinsent with a part of myeggs, e
o see if I could prevent them hatching t
until I could have plenstysof fomd. In Felt- g
rmary I took a part of them and pus them
in a vial and corked anal sealed it tight. lI
then placed them in a press drawer-they a
did not hatch when the rest did. I e Il'
thems remsain until the rest were growin,
whben I smnorked them and exposed them d
to 5 .e attsphere, hut never could hatchi
them.
The time so sow wheat has well nish
arrived; as we suler monre perhaps fromr
the fly than from any other cause (except l'
negligence in putting in the crop.) I willa
state so you an experiment I made in sow- I
ing wheat, which experiment I hsad pub
lished in time Southmern Cultivator, but as
all the reatders oh the Agriculturist may I
not have hadl atn opponunitv of perusing
the Sothers' Cmubivamur, if you thtnk it
wothysaf publication. yous can re-publish I
it. UIn the mionth of March, 1840. on the
I15ih day of the mnonth. I sowed some
spring wheat, whsich was sid to be fly I
pymil, fronm the fact that it could he sowed I
ins the spring when the fly would not touch
s, and at the same timne it would make a I
good rop o wheat. It isvery true it had
ben sowedeveral years in March and had
not failed to produce a reasonably good
cnp, hut I assore you my ceop was whnlly
destroyed by she fly-the 500th stalk did
not escape! My neighbors, Messrs. Jona
han Wonton and Thomas Bonner, sowed
tae same kind of wheat about the same
time, andu theirs shared the same fate. I do
not know that the By will not injure wheat
In thse fall, hut I know they will stain it in
he spring. The same season I had a erop
of Orleam wheat sowed in October preed
iog, whieb made a half crop. Query:
would not the sowing of lime and sulphur
mixed, say 2 lbs. of the latter to a bushel
o the former, and sowa on the wheat just
atopenia up ofthe winter, say , st Ikir

sown in the proportion of 3or4 bushels to
the acre, be a good preventative of bse al
tacks of the By ad also improve the crop
of wheat?
Thee is much more feeling among us
on the subject of imprevement in agricul
ture and mechanics than formerly. I hope
and anxiously expect that our stock rair in
October, will have the desired effect. We
have a pleasant secion; a considerable
portion is very productive, and the parts
unsuitable for cultivation in corn, &c.
a.ssm to be the hie of the herds grast.
Warren county could be made one of the
presiies and pleasansest, sad as it is one of
the healthiest, would be one of the mast
desirable sections in the State. The ob
ject with snme of us at least, is to get
our farmers in read and to think, then we
know all will be well. To thisend,in lay
ing our premiums we have made a good
tmny, and we pay them all in Agricultural
Journals, or Grass Seed, at the option of
the receiver, except those on domestics.
Our premiums are nominally lesir than
those of our sister Societies, but we think
will be of much more value, to the owner
than cups or spns, and you may rest as
sured we have notlorgotren our own much
.teemted State Journal. That your Ia
',ors may be crowned with the happiest
consequences, is the sincere desira of your
bumble servant,

FALL PWOUcHXG.
The following article, from the Genesee
Parmer, on the subject of fall ploughing,
eems to Us judicious and well timed. It
:oincides, too, with our previously formed
pinions on the subject, which, we believe,
ire those also or a majority of farmers.
Ind yet. we understand that some or our
most practical men, and best informed
srners. aes opposed to the system. Mr,
Villiam Wickhal. we understand, con
emus it, and Mr. E. Winston expressed
) as his determination to abandon it. We
iould be uuch pleased to learn the ob
wtions of either of these gentlemen to
ystem that is so generally approved. -
say be, that their land is of the
baracter alluded to itt the last pars
rate, we should be ldi
The following are the reasons giv
ivor of fall ploughing:
"The *Practical Farmer' says, the more
tientific opinion is in favir of fall plough
g, because to the action of air and meis- i
,tre it adds that offrost. whose sceptic or I
iviina quality is second only to that of I
e plough itself. in clay soils the pre- i
aratioa should never he omitted; because
n tslne the action of the frost is greater,
,d beesuse one ploughing of this kind,
ay sare two in the spring, when time is
very thing.
-The Monthly Genesee Farmer. vol. 1.
age 180, in an article on this subject. says:
-jst. It is one of the established priuci
lesof philosophical agriculture, that the i
il derives nutch ofits productive proper- I
v from the air, and that chemical ehan- i
es and combinations are constantly going I
a, by which fertility is much Increased.
'hese alternative effects or the atmos- I
here. and these changesof the qualities of
ie soil. are the more active and elicieht as
ew surfaces are exposed to new ationm
'or instance, mtch greater quantities or
rbonic gas will be absorbed by a given I
irface of earth. ifthe earth is frequently I
irred, than if it was allowed to remain I
rith a single saturated surface. Plough
on. by exposing new surfaces to the action I
f the atmsuspltere must be productive of i
asential benelit; and as fall ploughing i
enrally takes plan'e after crops which
ave partially exhausted the surface of
.me of ins nutritive and absorbent quahi
es, its service in aid of spring crops isI
realy enhanced.
"2.1. There is always on land more or
ss grass, weeds, stubble, or other vegeta
Ie matters convertible into mould by fer-.
nentaion and decomnpositin, a process
which is greatly aided by being turned un
ir the surface of the earth. Fall plough
ug renders such suabstances much sooner
vsvilabe in advanicing the growth ofecrops.
:an they would be if left uncovered d u
ing the winner, independent of the great
msa necessrily sustained by the washing
away of the lighter materials and their dis
erson by the winds.
--3d. Nothing acts more efllciently on
noist soils in promoting vegetation, than
igh pulverisation; and fall ploughing aids
his operation most essentially. Lands
hat if ploughed in the spring only, will
f plongbed in the fall, he found loosened
texture and Btted for early operatior. in
he spring of the year. Frost ns the moss
tticient disintegrstor ofthe soil with which
he agricultursnst is aerjnainted, and bos
hould avail himself of its valuable labors
n all practicable eases.
"4th. The earlier the ground can he pre
ared for she suitable reception of spring
rops, such as corn, spring wheat and bar
ny, the better ii will be fosund for the culbi
aor; and in nine cases out of the ten,
uarly sown crops are the -heaviest and
ost piuctive.
h. Poghlng land acts more efeetn
d ndestroying insects than any other
mxde oftireatmsent, and fall ploughsing for
this purpose is preferable to ay other.

TN5 cow.
Of all domestic reaturrs we esteern the
ow the mtost valjable- The horn wil
c.... ug bgrdns. and PuIl tile Cirt gnd
plough; the hog will give us desh for rood,
if well fed; but the cow will furnish us
milk, butter, cheese and meat, rey bur
deus, pull the plough. anld almost cloth us.
(t is not 14e leas surprising, the peasatry
in many pars or Europe esteem the -cow
so highly. They take her into their friendly
cottlages. and give her a warm bed in one
corner, while she is feeding the fiamily.- 1
We have often wondered how it could be
possible for the poorer classes of tha-cotnn
try to live without the faithful cow. In
deed. we have often asked ourselves if the
produce ofthe cow is not the most impor
tant part of our living. So far as we are
concerned, we would greatly perfer all the
quadruped tribes being annihilated, be
fore we would give up the cow-the be.t
friend of the brute race to man,
There is nothing strange in the fact, that
the English have done so much to improve
their breeds of catle. and that good ani
mals briog so high. prin when we r
dfet upon their use Ut families, and to every
individual. We have greatet desires to i
see the cow still improved in this country,
than any other stock, as swinish as we have
seemed to te. In improvement of cattle,
however. the people of the United States
have done but little. We have imported
some noble creatures, and some fair ones
have been produced here, but we ask where
the people are, in this country, that have
studied properly the science of breeding
and rearing fine cattle? We believe there
has been but little system, and less science,
known as yet with our most succesful stock
growers.
If we ever rightly appreciate the cow,
we will understand the secret of breeding
cattle of one shape for milk; another for
beef; and still a third for oxen. We will
learn the milk cow must havy light fore t
quarters and brisket, thin neck, delicate a
head, soft, silky coat, wide hips. and Ihin
thighs; while the best animal for beef, has
a short thick bead and neck, heavy quar
lers, rond barrel and short legs; but the
ux is louger in the limb, body, and indeed
in all his proportions. When breeding a
domestic animal' is reduced to a science, 6
the different hreeds for the milker, beef and
ox, will be discussed with she greatest $
ravity, and the particular strutmue of each w
will be considered indispensable. NotA
wly so, but the proper inanagemeat-o
cattle in each stage of the growth will be
looked upon as a mailer of more impor- i
ance than the attention now given to the
racer in each year of its growth. When
we esteem the cow as -ye should, we will
have her winter quarters, in point ofcom
ort, next to the family dwelling, and we
will learn thatt even currying is at least as
erviceab.e to the cow as the horse.. The t
proof that we do nat put a proper esuimate b
apun the cow requires no other argument is
ian the fact, that not one faruser perhaps W
n fifty has even a comfortablo shelter or
wholesome winter food fur cattle. lb
Pennessee, we have enough of the iknpro- tb
'ed breeds, and we trust a sufficiency of
;nowledge to romnence improving. I (we
is lariersstudy our own comfort and in- d
crest, %%e %ill produce breeds of cattle b
sore valuable than any yet in ekistence.
