If the foal be withheld ti!j the ud ler be gor. ged and distended, a little infl mun ition will take place, and the miik will be bud. In such case it is proper to draw off a portion before the foal is put to it?and ii may also be properto bathe the uld-T vvrdi cold miter, But I > emp y it orio bathe it merely be cause the mure has bism pe: spiring, is absurd?and to neglect bo;b inar* and foal till the under needs sncb treatment, betrays very bad managem'tr. The suggestion ni tliu^following. article that green crops ought not to he turn< d in for manure till they dry, is worthy of attention. Turning vegetable matter into the soil on which it grows we see the most economical mole of manuring land. The best turning it can be determined only by experience. From the Cultivator. a n 1 i r r? ? ur u p i T W " i U A V U 1* XA Ai ? & Oo the subject of plowing in clover for wheat, Mr. Cohnan has- the following remurks; "I have aU'aj's been inclined 10 the belief, which g?*neruliy prevails, and which Mr. Pinney niaintams, that the higher the state of luxuriance in which vegetable matt' r was turned in by the plow, the more thy l?nd \v II bo enriched by it. ifut the expci ea?*e of one <rf the best farm -rs in the state has satisfied inc. especially as it has been confirmed by anoth' r equally intell gent farmer, and wholly unbased by (he judgement of any other person, that the land is more ben? fi ted by th^ turning in of the clover crop after it is dri d, titan when it is in u s'ate of greenness and full / ofsap.

Large qtnni'iesj ol clover decay on ;he ground, and this, j mixed with the manure of the an m*ls, ?nd the mass of clover roots at the time of fallowing, gives a progressive improyemcn' to hs soil and his crops, which certainly speaks well in favor of the system. It ap tears from that pari of the report relafing to manures for wheat, that lime has be?DofJiitle or no vn!ue when used, and that crops of w heat of about thirty bushels per acre, have been grown on soils in which not a trace or carbonate of lime existed.? There was a small quantity of pbosphat* of lime, however, present, one and a half percent, ant fvis cotild not lu'Vc Uc-n without its influence. It is surprising to Witness the discrepancy between ihe nssul s frorti the use of lirp-* in Mass., as given in the rep >rt, and tii se produced by tlu; same article, in some of tne middle states. The reason of this want of efficiency in the northern soils, docs not appear o he satis. faCtorhy ascertained; but the subject is one of such consequence, as to demand the inos? rigid investigation. We are inclined to the opinion, that where the other matters in the soil are right, a very small quantity of lime li seffineut for all the purposes of v g i.v lioe; bo' as hme apjH?arj to lie an essential pari of the wheat and clover plants, it seems dear, that more or less of it is indispensa ble to tbeir growth and tin pcrfec.ion ol their seeds. * * Remedy for SjIkt in* Wheat.

Mr. H. is well ? aequ tinted wi n the bus H'*ss, and has been " familiar wiili u for 30 years.

As soon v ! as t ie i?-e permitted. :he vessel ar i od at ! Petersburg, a-d my brother, Mr. L. F. C( j lin ks ol your town, lost no time in forward- a ' ing ill- ni to me.

Ifei her b" n"<J cted, no In t| ing can pr? vent ih?* mischiefs winch will in- 0 siantl^ result. Ot course n >ne who begin g) tins business will he so imprudent as not to have leaves enough for their worms, without stint. If there should be su *h a one, he ,r must fail. With plenty of food, and good, sound, well-kepi eggs, it s ems to me that, 0 without ctsualities which no prudence can h obviate, no one ought to fail. From first to lasl, through the dampest o season ever known In this country, we have g lost no worms from these eggs by dise ase. w We have never lei w-m leaves if wj could ^ li? lp it; hut there have been many days ^ ihat we have b<e;i obliged to do so, or let our worms go without food; no iij iry was observed from it. I hnve gone by the direciiona of Mr. Gideon B. Smith, of Balti- Sl more, whenever I have been at l? ss, and b have found thom tilways ri^ht. My friend at and relation, Mr. Thomas H;cks, also, has h visited us frequently, and has always given us advice and limits which gavo us much issuance. By the first opportunity I will send ycju i sample ol the cocoons, bo h gf the twp rop n ! I arge sulphur variety; 2612 of life o'iner, tak^n us ih -y came, after being I ?gse?l, made a bushel, and aro allowed 1n le ;|?e largest ever seen in this county. i have used no artificial heal whatever; he worms have .taken the ho: un I cold, wet tnd dry, as God sent it. Y had the house it ripped of every thirg to a mere hull, fixtig the windows with blinds which I believe ire p cuii tr to this county, an?l no more rouble to mike, ami cos' no more, than tne oarsest shutter Any house that will keep iui the sun and ra'n will sufihie tor the lu.ilthful accommodation of the worm alvnjs taking care in have it we'l ventilated. Of eou'se it will he desirable to know low much labor has b en expended in our mail establishment. I am sorry I cannot ie very precise on this point. My lady larniers agreed amongst themselves to tnk'-. ho feeding, day and day about. E ?ch had i woman and srn *l| hoy about 12 years old. iho w* re amply sufficiem lor all purposes, xcept when the worms had to he moved. >r thinned, or cleaned off, or fixed to spin r to gather and cure the cocoon"; and lit heir last stages it required more help to>get oaves and leed them. 1 think. J can say\ lowever, with Certainty, that for half I lie imo the woman and boy" would f?e nm' le 3 do every thing; and fhr tho other b ill. iouble that force would bo miffi-* ent?th?ocoons after being taken down to be banled over to other hands. I huve stated that at! the worms from tin* Connecticut eggs were entirely and comileiflv healtliv. But I think it r'pht also V v > - - c J sia c, ttiui in iny absence from home a arcel of worms were placet! in the house, rhtch had been presented to the Indies by a ;t:ntleman of the neighborhood* which had ommenced" hatching in his cellar, anil of oun?e were hatched out of time and oieex ctedjy. As soon as I was informed of I, I objected to it and expressed a *ish that hey thou Id be removed from the house, tatmu. at the safiietime, the warning I had Hct-ived from books and persons against ed ng worms hatclvH eiih'-r in a cellar or :e-house; but the ladies were too tender earted to throw away the hide creatures, mi they were suffered to remain. There r? re some eiglit or ton thousmd of them. t?d they were kept in ti e garret of the nuse, to themselves. They looked Well, od to every appearance were as healthy s any in the House, until they began to pin. Then th-y began to turn yellow, and ) sieken, an ? to dio, and filially not one nrd of them spun a cocoon, and those diich did sp;n did their work like invalids. In few days no one could go into the room 'ithout feeling ticklish about the stom acti; it -as a complete failure. Wh:lst I am on this iil?j"ct, it will not be improper to state, that I ( ave heard of three different instances in this icinity of worms afflicted with what we call le yellows, being revived by immersion in l?1(1 water. (I suppose sprinkling wouhl do s well, but I beg the advocat sof jhese res?active creeds not to consider me as taking des with eith'-r.) One happened with Mr. 'nomas Hicks, who told me that J hey spun her they had been immersed. Their being jt in water was with no design to cure, but i kill thein A parcel in this place were irown in the creek, and some bovs nfckod une out, which spun good ?ocoons. I di<l >t see i?, but the persons froin whom I got le intcrination are as respectable as any in le country. The other case was, at Clack .obtnsou's, esq , Robinson's Ferry, Warrea mnty. North Carolina. I had it frbm Mr himself. . . I* mat. Ko ftottpihlo In knnw what nthpra """V ? redoing in Brunswick. 1 can only say what I ave heard, having myselftipen loo much con* ned to our own, to see much of other people's jcooneries. In every instance where they ave u-ed eggs from a bad stock, or of bad nep, they have fai'ed; and in every instance here they have had eggs trotn a good stock 'liicli have been well kept, they have succeed, d. I saw Dr. N W. L^wis yesterday, who >ld ine that his first crop was a failure f-om ad eggs, but having procured some good eggs >r his second crop, he had complete success. Ir. Hugh L. Percevall informs me that he btaincd a parcel of egg* from a gpntleman in iib county, (the one who presented the ladies -ith the worms above, and some of the sam* ggs,) in February, and put them on ice; that e hatched them out in May, and they have o- e well?no sick ones among thein; a proof riat if these eggs which have been extensively sed here, had been put on ice in January or 'ebruary, instead of being kept in a ctliar, tat all would have succeeded who t sed them, >r they were from an unquestionably healthy ock. Knowing that this gentleman had a irge quantity of eggs from a healthy stock, I )uk it upon myself once to mention to him le importance of putting them on* ice, early, [e remarked that he thought his cellar was old enough, and, 1 understand, kept thein in le cellar; and Mr. Pcrcevalls lot is the only neof *hich I have he^rd, wh;ch has been jccessful. John L. Wilkins, jr., esq, informs le that he has had good success, and is feedlg largely, and is preparing to feed 6n a very irge scale. He will, no doubt, as well as the ihes I have named, give to you, and the pub. c, the benefit of his experiments. I fear I am taking up too much roonr for j ne who is so green in this great business. I ive you permission to leave out any part diieh yon think proper, fori have no am. ition to appear in print, and have taken no lore pains in preparing this than if I had writ?n it for yourself individually.Before I conclude, however, I beg leave to ty to all who are going to embark in this uainess, that after they have provided a full apply of food, eggs without stint, from a ealthy stock, and keep tbem sound, with in. ustry and attrition, they may reasonably ex. ect to do well, and their own experience will HJMggJW JLiii-i?'l > jlibiw be their best instrUcter.
