At various places in our publications, and still more in private conversations, we have recommended and urged the use of water-borne m irl to all those farmers on ^navigable waters who had not marl < easily accessible on their own lands. Our arguments to this end, and estimates of 1 * advantages, have as yet had but very limited operation, not because they were not convincing to many, and who would gladly have incurred the proper expense, | but because, to effect the object, required < al_ __ r xi _ i ci+ _ A. _i i me co-operation ?i mree cuaereni classes > of operators. These were, 1st, the pro- I prietor and worker of the marl beds, to sell, dig, and deliver the marl to lighters, or other vessels; 2d, watermen and owners of vessels to transport the marl; and 3d, purchasers upon fixed and large contracts, so as to furnish that regular and full employment which only could make all parts of the business (as of anv other business,) boih cheap in operation and profitable in results. \fany persons were, and still are, anxious !'? b iy marl?but few proprietors of the beds cared to work them on a proper mode for cheap deliv ery?and still worse was the chance to obtain water transportation to be properly and certainly performed, and at other than exorbitant rates. But notwithstanding all the difficulties, we succeeded as . early as 1833 in inducing Col. C. H. Minge, then residing in Charles City county, to commence marling his farm in that county from the bed which underlies Coggins Point, of which we gave to him (and also to others afterwards) the gratuitous use. Col. Mioge proceeded on the proper mode for cheapness, by purchasing a vessel, and having the transportation carried on by his own hired hands. But though thus avoiding the exorbitant charges and unfaithful operations of lighter-men, he had to bear all the disadvantages and losses of carrying 1 oij all the separate branches of the busi- I ness, generally out of the reach of his su- I ^ pervision, and by the aid of ignorant and < inexperienced hands?aud, moreover, un- < der other peculiar disadvantages, unne- 5 cessary to repeat here, but which may be i seen, as slightly and generally referred to, < in the report published at page 97 of 4 Essay on Calcareous Manures.' Still, un- t der all such disadvantages, (which we t oppose must have served to increase the I cost fully one-third,) Col. Minge contin- f lied his operations through two years, and, * according to careful and particular esti- i mates of all the items, he found the total i expense of the uncovering and digging f the marl, putting it on board, transporting t it 15 miles on and across the broad part of i James River, and landing it above high- I water mark, to be, for 15.000 bushels I ( leaped) conveyed in 1833, not quite 2 t cents the bushel, (1 14-15 cents was the c estimate,) and 17,000 bushels the next 1 year, only 1 6-16 cents per bushel. This i does not include any payments for the I marl, as he was charged nothing for it.? i But if half a cent the bushel be allowed < tor that (which is enough.) his marl of the second year would still have cost him I hut little more than 2 cents when put out | on his landing place. I But of the many who want to buv ; marl, and who wuold very gladlv pay 3 | cents, (and who in fact have paid 4 to 5 i cents, or more,) none have been willing < to undertake to be their own carriers. And while they have paid mo e than i twice the amount of fair prices for light- I ering, thp persons engaged in that busi- i ness have made but little profit, owing to i the ignorance, laziness, and worthlessness .of most of the hireling hands who man the river lighters. Mr. Hill Carter, of .Shirley, next to Col. Minge. was the earliest and has been the most extensive ap. plier of water-borne marl on the borders * of James River. But though he likewise obtained his early supplies gratuitously, / : i? r,._ *i_i 1 \ ^paying oniy lur me iauui p>-i iui mcu,^ uc has never been able to have marl put on his shore at less than 4 1-4 cents ; and yet, nfter seeing the effects of his earlv applications, he was so anxious to extend it to all His land, that he requested and authorised us to contract with any responsible person to furnish him marl enough, and rcgulnrlv, at 5 cents per bushel. We were unable, at that time, to induce any proper person t . undertake that large contract, and ther"rore ;t was not effected ; though we were as well persuaded then as now, that even at 2 cents **;?! : i! less, a good and sufficient profit would have been afforded to the other party. Under this opinion we rather discouraged the paying the high prices then asked, and advised several persons who would otherwise have bought, to wait for more moderate terms?or, still better, to become their own carriers. But to this time, the price has been very little reduced, 4 cents being the lowest yet paid, under the most favorable circumstances, and large quantities of marl have been bought and used, at such high prices, though not one-twentieth of what might otherwise have been demanded, at fair prices. I)uring all this time, we refrained from offering to furnish marl from our beds, except by gift?and that for several reasons. In the first place, we.did not choose that our urgent recommendations to others to purchase and use water-borne marl should, even by possibility, subject us to the suspicion of being impelled thereto by the desire of making a pecuniary profit bv the business?and therefore, we pre. ferred that others should be undertakers of the business. Next, our own marl, on navigable water, though very rich, is peculiarly difficult to uncover and work, i and therefore cannot be so cheaply furnished (to the bushel) as from many oth- j er more easily accessible beds. But, after leaving it to others for 8 years to commence this business, and carry it on, and I with very little effect, either in reducing prices, or furnishing a regular and suffi. cient supply at any prices, we presume that ice may now make the attempt to furnish a better and cheaper supply, with- i Dut drawing suspicion on our motives in ' ecomrnendations made, and opinions ex. < tressed, so long ago. According to the I idvertisement published on the cover of < this number, it will be seen that the marl I )f Coggins Point is offered to be put on | ward lighters at 2 cents the heaped bush- I d ; or at 11-2 cents, if on contracts for s 19.000 bushels or more. If purchasers 1 .vill furnish their own lighters and hands, I he transportation and landing of the marl < -vithin 15 miles distance, njay be per. "ormed for one cent more; and even to lired vessels, regularly employed, 1 1-2 ^ :ents would furnish a sufficient profithere being a proper wharf or stage at the anding place, and the marl being taken >y the purchaser from the deck of the c essel. But no lighter-men will engage f it this price for freight?and few can be i died on for regular work at even their f iwn higher prices. Therefore, if this < msiuess is to be put on the cheapest and ? nost profitable footing, (and which cannot >? except as a large and regular business,) j he purchasers of the marl must provide ind man their own lighters. If that were lone, and proper arrangements made, hese terms for large contracts would per- \ nit the marl to be carried to distances ! 1 vithin 15 miles, for 2 1-2 to 3 cents the 1 Mishel. and 40 or 50 miles for 4 cents. J But, to elfect this unprecedented (and t leretofore almost unhoped for) degree of I cheapness, it will be essential that pur- j :hasers and land-owner9 shall operate on { i large scale, and to the best advantage j n economizing labor, as well as the workjrs of the beds, and shippers of the marl. The lime-stone (as it may be truly erm?d, in regard to its calcareous constiution.) which is furnished by this same i >ed of marl, is another object of high im- * )ortance, for cement; and if, as we pre- ' mme, as rich stone-marl may be found ' n many other places in Virginia, we 1 night not only be furnished at home with 1 ill the lime required for building, but at a f nuch less price than is paid, to an 1 mmense amount annually, for the stone- < ime of New England, Directed merely t >y our knowledge of its chemical consti- ( ut ion, we hi nt this limn and used it for )ur own buildings, eight to ten years ago. , Having since sold the farm, Shellbanks, ^ n Prince George countv, w*e had not seen ( " 1 the mortar used there, for six years, until i few days ago. The plastering, of the I dwelling house, which was altogether of 1 1 i this lime, is unusually firm, and has stood 1 better, as Mr. Theron Gee, the present ? proprietor thinks, than any plastering he t has ever known made of other lime. A i small part of the brick-work only, for ex- ] periment and comparison, was built with mortar made of this lime, in proportions , r>f two measures of sand to one of lime. { The mortar is of remarkable and very unjsual hardness, and adhesiveness to the , brinks, and very far harder, nnd far better in all respects, than the best oyster shell lime mortar, burnt at the same time, and used on the same day with the lime I mortar, and by the same workmen, and 1 in the same job. In fact, the marl-lime 1 mortar is so greatly and strikingly supe- ! rior, that no observer can doubt but that i its value as a cement is increased by some or all the other ingredients which it con- i tains besides the 85 to 90 per cent, of pure carbonate of lime. The remainder of its body is principally silex and clay? but is partly made up by small portions of iron, of gypsum, and of some other and more soluble salt. The cement is now much harder than ihe bricks which it unites, or than the stone from which it was burnt. And though we do not know the strength or value of anv other bodies of marl than our own, and do not pro'ess to warrant the fair selection of specimens from any other, (and which selection re-1 quires much more care and fidelity than are usually given to the object,) we doubt not but that there is much good material of this kind for mortar, in sundry other I marl beds, which it would bs greatly for | the public benefit, as well as for private ; profit, to have brought into use. We take this mode of again inviting , the farmers on the tide water who want marl, to take the proper course (by build- , ing navigating lighters for themselves,) j to make their supply cheap?and there- , by to serve the public interests as well as } their own by extending the use of this j greatest of agricultural improvers. At a , small addition to the prices stated above, , the marl could be put on hoard of sea cuusung vessel*, ??u anriosi as low, as they .*o netimes ha\e to pay f >r ballast; so that in this manner it might be delivered in places even as remote as New York or Charleston, at 6 to 8 cents the bushel. Those persons who may wish to be more particularly or fully informed of the practical effects and profits of the marl from Coggins Point, are referred to Hill Carter, esq., of Shirley, Col. Collier H. Minge, (now in A/ohile.) and Dr. John Minge of Weyanoke.- And besides various notices of our own, which of course we would not adduce as testimony in such n case, statements of some of the effects known by the gentlemen just named, may be seen at. pages 183. 189, 247 and 511 of vol, 5, Farmers' Register.?Ed. Far. Reo. Black Sea Wheat. The late importation made by the Kennebee County Agricultural Society of wheat from the Black Sea, seems to he a different variety from any that we have nad ip this vicinity before. We examined a field of it belonging to Major Wood, the other day, which looks exceedingly promising. The straw is stout and strong, tiaving larger joints than any we have seen. The head of medium length and well packed. The true results will soon 3e known in regard to it; and we have no doubt they will prove highly favorable. Main Farm sr. From the S. C.

( turnips. t RobertvUle, July 10, 1841. r Dear Sir: As I deem it the duty of t ivery good citizen, who wishes well to the ? >ublic generally, to publisTF the result oF t iny experiment, which would he bene- c icial to the agricultural interests of our * Stitc; and so few know how to plant, < ind make large turnips, which forms a c valuable part of the crop of every planter ? )eing so useful to feed the cows, sheep, I ind even horses, I will submit to your li consideration, and if you think it worthy s ;o your publication, the following, which < s strictly true, and may be proved by c nanv living witnesses. Some years ago, t [ do not recollect the year, ("but it was t :hat warm winter when so many ^persons s ost their bacon from warm weather,) 1 a slanted two acres of turnips, as I gener- s illy do, for I depend greatly upon my c urnips, for my oxen and sheep ; the lirst a came up pretty well, being planted in v \ugust, but the last, not planted until the t niddle of September, were very much f scattered over the field. There were in e lome places, but one or two in several 1 'ect of each other. Well thought 1,1 have r ost my turnips. 1 knew not what to do; t >ut having nothing else to depend upon, i [ had them worked as usual, and the fall c ind winter being warm, the turnips grew <: ? ? 1 % A. mely, and grew to be very large. 1 isaw i >ne of my negroes, carrying one to eat, ind took it away; it had been thrown v >ver to the oxen, and the top and tap f oot had been eaten olf; it was a flat tur- i ,iip, and measured three feet in circum. a 'ercnce, and notwithstanding the top and t :ap root were otf, it weighed thirteen f lounds. This was not the only large one, ? ilthough the largest which I saw. The fame of my turnips spread far and near; * i great many persons came to see them, ? ind all bespoke seed for the next year; < it was the common rough turnip, which s [ had always generally planted; but ( while my turnips, before this year, and t jven those planted in August, were gen- t Esrally as large as my wrist, though some I not larger than my thumb, vet here the 1 the turnips were generally, as large as I my thigh, and I don't think there was I ane that would not have weighed five 1 pounds, unless it was where they had ? come "?) well and good, as I had thought, ' two tnree in a lull, where they were I as small as any of my August turnips, or 1 any I had ever made ; there were not ' many, however, which were so' thick, and 1 consequently, so small. Before this, 1 ' took as much pains .n preparing my turnip land, as I would in preparing a garden and had my turnips, .3, 4 or 5 inches apart, on the beds, so I made small tur- ' nips ; but since then, I have ploughed J my land, cleared it of all grass and weeds, made small beds 2 1-2 feet apart, and ] left the turnips, twelve, fourteen, fifteen or sixieen inches on the beds. Turnips, { like every thing else, must have room^o grow well and large, if I wanted to makt turnips again, as large a?? these I hav^ mentioned above. I would have my beds ( three feet apart, and have the turnipe two feet on the beds. I write you this, because I believe that there are very few persons, who know how to make turnips, believing too, that the public generally, will be benefitted by this, as [ had thought my failure, to m ?ke a good turnip crop. When I shall be able to plant turnips this year, I am not able now to tell,? for we have had no rain, and but one of | my coHsequenee, since the 31st of May, ind corn, potatoes, meilons, and even iheoak trees are drying up, for want of ain. With this, I subscribe mvself, rours, &c. Jehu. { Gr vfting the Peach With Success. Messrs. Editors?I am not aware that my process has been devised tor grafting jpon the peach stock, with any certain prospects of success. Experiments doubtess have often succeeded in rearjng grafts lpon peach stocks, but more often failed. gardener in my neighborhood informed tie that he ouce grafted upon one hun\re*A noa/>h afnrlca and all the trraffs died fV"" ? - O ind most of the stocks. (He was always juccessful in giafting upon other kinds.) Lastyear Iwas^induced to investigate{the natterwith a view to devise some means of I >bviuting this failure, as it is desirable in nany cases to graft in lieu of budding, >crsuaded that although the discovery night bo of no great practical utility, yet t would be an interesting acquisition to he sciance of arboriculture. The peach reeisof more rapid growth than any of >ur orchard trees, and frequently with us, n congenial soils, the first year from the i ?eed, attains the hight of six feet, with stems from one inch to an inch and a half iiameter. The circulation, of course, nust he very active, and the sudden check from heading down such a tree, will, in many cases, destroy it. But ihould it live, the flowing, as it were, by :he sap; that is, the sap flows so fast from :he wounds, as to prevent the process of jrauulation, by which the coin is united :o the stock. To graduate, then the sup. I >ly of sap to the wants of the scion, is he primary ohject, and the measures necessary to secure this condition, are just hose which tend to preserve the life of he stock after heading down. To carry ny purpose into effect, I proceeded conrary to some of the ordinary rules for grafting. In the middle of July, I seleced the scoin from thirty trees, wifh four >r five eyes, taking care to choose those vhich contained laef buds. The stock :hosen, were moderately growing instead >f thrifty stocks, and were trees of the growth of that s^oson from the seed. Beore heading down, I passed a long sharp inife down entirely round the tree, and evered all the lateral loots at the distance >t three or four inches from the trunk, acwording to its growth. This done, the rees were headed down at a point where lie stem was just the size of the scion, or l little larger, as the scions were inserted i little on one side of the pith. The intertion* were made in the ordinary way >f cleft grafting. The scions were then lecurcd by a narrow strip of sheet lead, vound spirally over the whole length of he cleft, and a small hall of grafting clay >ut over the whole. To my gratification ivory scion inserted in this way grew off inely, and the coming season will doubtless nake handsome trees. I do not know hat the lead binding or mode of insertion s essenl ial, and although I have tried no >ther plan, yet I presume that other meth>ds will answer equally well, provided he preliminary steps are properly attend:d to. On other stocks I have grafted vith success, with no other binding or irotcction than the strip of lead, and have isedlead ligatures, with great expedition ind success in building. The introducion of lead ligatures was meidy an ex>eriment with a view to expedite grafting md budding in large nursery operations, rhus far I am inclined to give the prefermces to the old methods. When head ng down the stocks, I took care in every :ase to leave either one or two small shoots, ;ome leaves, or several nascent buds in >rder to continue all the functions of the ree until union had taken place between he scion and the stalk. As soon as the v.ids of the scion began to put forth, all be. ow upon the stock was pruned off. When he scions were taken from the trees, the eaves were all removed as in building eaving only a small portion of the foot italk. The clayand ligatures were renoved in the fall when vegetation iad deceased, and the wounds vere all well closed. I am lot sure that it is absolutely essential to eave any thing growing 0:1 the stalk, and egret that I did not try some wdhout. CH. G.PAGE, M. D. Washingion City, Feb., 1841.

Prosector to the Professor of Surgery, JOHN H. WHITTAKER, M. D. Demonstrator to the Professor of Anatomy. The Council of the University of New York, having resolved to bring into effective operation all the Departments of the Institution over which they preside, and to realize the hopes and expectations of its friends, have organized the Medical Faculty of the University. In announcing this fact to the public, the Faculty consider it their duty to enter at some detail into an exposition of the Constitution of the Medical School, and to present, for the consideration of the Profession, certain views in reference to the facilities which its establishment will afford for the cultivation of Medical and Chirurgical Science. I. Charter of the University. The Charter of Incorporation of the University of New York secures to its Medical Facility, to the fullest extent, ail those powers, privileges, and immunities which the most favoured Medical Insti(ions in Europe or in this country enjoy. * * * II. Constitution of the Medical Department of the University of New York. * ? * * It will be observed that the number of Medical Professorships is limited to six, viz: 1, Surgery, 2 Anatomy* 3. Theory and Practice of Physic, 4. Instututes of Medicine and Materia Medica, 5. Midwifery and the Diseases of Woman and Children, 6. Chemistry. As the Council, in making this arrangement, were guided by the advice of the Faculty, it may, perhaps, be proper to explain to the members of the profession the reasons which led them to recommend that the Chairs should not,for the present, exceed that number. There is no Medical Institution in the United States, which requires from those who are candidates for its Diploma more than three years' study, and an attendance on two full courses of lectures; and the fact is known to every person at all conversant with medical education in this country, that verv few students attend lectures for more than two sessions, before they come forward for graduation. Such being the case, the Medical Faculty conceive, that te multiply professorships, and to impose the obligation on medical students to attend additional lectures during the two sessions usually devoted by them to an attendance at college, so far from having tho effect of elevating the medical education of the country, will have a contrary tendency. Let the members of the profession recall to mind the period of their own pupilage, and even the most diligent and intellectual of them will admit, that a daily at ten lance on six distinct of lect uffcs, with the necessary attention to practical anatomy and clinical lectures, taxed their mental and physical powers to the utmost, and that to have required them to attend addittonal lectures, no matter how important the subjects, would not have promoted their improvement. The great defect in our prosent system of medical education is net that we do not teach a sufficient number of branches in our Medical Schools, but, that we do not sufficiently extend the term for attendance. In the opinion of the Medical Faculty, it is prejudicial to the interests of medical education to imitate the Schools ol burope in the multiplication of professorships, whilst we do not imitate them in extending the term of medical education. In Europe, where the medicaljprofessorships have been increased, the studeht is required to attend lectures for at least four sessions of six months each, and these spread over a period of four years, before j he can come forward as a candidate for graduation.* In this country we require i students to attend two full courses of all the lectures which are delivered in the school they may select, be they six, or eight, or more. Our sessions occupy only four months, and as already stated, a majority of those who graduate, here, do so after attending lectures during two sessions. The injurious effect of multi. plying lectures which it is obligatory od the students to attend, in no short a period, is too palpable to require argument to. prove it. Again: Theexperience of the members of the Medical Faculty of the * Faculty will feel thankful to their Profe* ional Brethren for any-specimens which they may contribute. "If ?i ii ? University of Now York, as teachers of ihe different branches of Medical Science, and some of them have",been engaged in those duties for more than thirty jreara, has convinced them, that the uniting, in one professorship, the departments of Materia A/adica and the Institutes of Medicine, better secures the interest, and promotes the improvement of the student* The details of the Materia Medica, when taught as they usually are, separately from the other departments, are necessarily dry; but, when their study is combined with that of physiology and pathology, as it is when the Chair of Materia Medica forms a part of that of the Institutes of Medicine, it becomes deeply interesting. III. The superior facilities which the City of New-York possesses run the cultivation of Medical and Surgical Science. Nodoubt can exist in the minds of the intelligent and well informed as to tb# superior advantages which a great city'affords for the cultivation of Medicine. If we look to Europe, we find that the Great Medical School* are all located in large cities ; as in Dublin, in Edinburg, in London, in Paris, in Berlin, and in Virenna. Where minor Medical institutions have been fordied in the smaller cities, as at Gottingen, Montpeller, and Halo, the governments of the countries where they are situated hare established, in connec. tion with them, extensive hospital*, in which there are congregated not only the patients of the surrounding districts, but, there ate introduced into them interesting cases, which are brought at the expense and through the influence of the government, from the most remote parts of the territory. Sustained, however, by alt the aids and influences which the wealtb and power of Princes afford, the facilities they offer to the students who resort to them are considered inferior to those which the great Medical Schools, established in large and populous cities, fur? nish. And very few students in ?urope are willing to engage in the duties of their profession until they shall have attended lectures, for one or two years at least, in one of the Great Metropolitan Medical Institutions. Admitting, therefore, the fact that it is essential to the successful cultivation of Medical Science that the school where lectures are deliver, ed, shall be loctated in a farge and populous ity, no argument is required to prove that. New.York is preeminently fitted to become tbe centre of Medical Science. The limits of this announcement will not permit the Facnlty to enlarge oo this topic, nor to detail the advantages which the medical student who resorts to NewYork for his education will enjoy in prosecuting the studies of his profession. In the vastness of her population, the number and the extent of her hospitals and Dispensaries, congregated within the wards of which there is to be seen every variety of disease and accident to which the human frame is liable, and the unlimited supply of the material for the cultivation of Practical Anatomy which she furnishes, she stands without a rival in the United Slates. 1 f thr? rnnr?iP which has hoon fnllnwa/l a* v??v *?%?! n%??? i/wil IVIIV??W by the Council of the University in the selection of the Professors of the Medical Department be referred to, it will be observed that they have been guided(by im foor sectional feeling. They have considered the Institution of which they, are the guardians not local, but a National one. They have accordingly selected a> Professor from one of the Colleges of Virginia, two from Philadelphia, and three from New-York. IV. Unversity and College*. Buildings. The convenience and accomodations furnished by the University and College Buildings are commensurate in magmfc. cence and extent with the prospects of the Institution of which they forma part. The University is situated on ttte east side of Washington Square. It is built of white marble, and presents a Gothic facade of one hundred and eighty feet. This splendid edifice, with its libraries. &c., is at all times open to the students of the Medical Department of the University, and in its Gothic chapel, all the publio ceremonials of the Faculty of Medicine, as introductory lectures, public com rnencement, &c\, will be holden. The College, where the regular lectures of the Medical Department will be given, is situated in Broadway, in theimmediate vicinity of the University,? The Faculty consider it a subject of congratulation to have been enabled to secure an edifice so admirably calculated for carrying on extended courses of medical instruction. V. Hospitals, &c. Arr. As before observed, New York oftr? to the medical students, who attend beta, superior facilities for clinical obbemu tlon and Rhidv. In so larae a rrttr wards of the Hospitals art necessarily* crowded with the most interesting cai^E,* and as the distinguished phys^cfehs and' surgeons, who attend New Hospital, make daily visits to its ward* accompanied by the students, evtry frffiL A \ty is thus *6$4*4 tfcenr ^ 0b* m T.nmy, - fl
