At various places in our publications, and still more in private conversations, we have recommended and urged the use of water-borne marl 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 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 the co-operation of three different classes of operators. These were, 1st, the proprietor 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, 90 a9 to furnish that regular and full employment which only could make ail parts of the business (as of any other business.) both cheap in operation and profitable in results. Man v persons were, and still are, anxious to b iv marl?but 9 * 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 <ts 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. Minge 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 hear all the disadvantages and losses of carrying on all the separate branches of the business, generally out of the reach of his suw pervisioa, and by the aid of ignorant and inexpencnceu uanus?? auu, nn'icuyn, under other peculiar disadvantages, unnecessary to repeat here, but which may be seen, as slightly and generally referred to, in the report published at page 97 of * Essay on Calcareous Manures.' Still, un. der all such disadvantages, (which we uppose must have served to increase the cost fully one-third,) Col. Minge continued his operations through two years, and, according to careful and particular estimates of all the items, he lound the total expense of the uncovering and digging the marl, putting it on board, transporting it 15 miles on and across the broad part of James River, and landing it above highwater mark, to be, for 15.000 bushels (leaped) conveyed in 1833, not quite 2 cents the bushel, (1 14-15 cents was the estimate,) and 17,000 bushels the next year, only 1 6-16 cents per bushel. This does not include any payments for the marl, as he was charged nothing for it.?? Hut if half a cent the bushel be allowed for that (which is enough.) his marl of the second year would still have cost him but little more than 2 cents when put out on his landing place. But of the many who want to buy marl, and who wuold very gladlv pay 3 cents, (and who in fact have paid 4 to 5 cents, or more,) none have been willing to undertake to be their own carriers. And while they have paid mo e than Iwice the amount of fair prices for light ering, the persons engaged in that business have made but little profit, owing to the ignorance, laziness, and worlhlessness .of most ot the hireling hands wno man the river lighters. Mr. Hill Carter, of Shirlev, next to Col. Minge. was the earliest and has been the most extensive applier of water-borne marl on the borders of James River. But though he likewise obtained his earlv supplies gratuitously, (paying only for the labor performed,) he 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 early applications, he was so anxious to extend it to all His land, that he requested and authorized us to contract with any responsible person to furnish him marl enough, and regularly, at 5 cents per bushel. We were unable, at that time, to induce any proper person to undertake that large contract, and therefore it was not effected ; though we were as well persuadfd then as now, that even at 2 cents ? '.i r* . a . less, a pood 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 i time, the price has been very little re- , dueed, 4 cents being the lowest yet paid, | under the most favorable circumstances, | and large quantities of marl have been , j bought and used, at such high prices, though not one-twentieth of what might | otherwise have been demanded, at fair I prices. During all this time, we refrained from 1 offering to furnish marl from our beds, 1 except by gift?and that for several rea- 5 sons. In the first place, we.did not choose < that our urgent recommendations to others to purchase and use wator-borne marl I should, even by possibility, subject us to the suspicion of being impelled thereto by | the desire of making a pecuniary profit i bv the business?and therefore, we pre- < ferred that others should be undertakers I of the business. Next, our own marl, ] on navigable water, though very rich, j is peculiarly difficult to uncover and work, < " i? 1? ?!.. r?_ and inereiore cannoi uo an uuc?piy iui> nished (to the bushel) as from many oth- i er more easily accessible beds. But, af- j ter leaving it to others for 8 years to com. i mence this business, and carry it on, and with very little effect, either in reducing ] prices, or furnishing a regular and sufficient supply at any prices, we presume that ice may now make the attempt to furnish a better and cheaper supply, with- j out drawing suspicion on our motives in \ recommendations made, and opinions ex- c pressed, so long ago. According to the I advertisement published on the cover of < this number, it will be seen that the marl t of Coggins Point is offered to be put on f board lighters at 2 cents the heaped bush- i el; or at 11-2 cents, if on contracts for s 30.000 bushels or more. If purchasers * will furnish their own lighters and hands, t the transportation and landing of the marl c within 15 miles distance, may be performed for one cent more; and even to hired vessels, regularly employed, 1 1-2 ^ cents would furnish a sufficient profit? there being a proper wharf or stage at the landing place, and the marl being taken by the purchaser from the deck of the c vessel. But no lighter-men will engage f at this price for freight?and few can be ? relied on for regular work at even their f own higher prices. Therefore, if this < business is to be put on the cheapest and s most profitable footing, (and which cannot ^ be except as a large and regular business,) ^ the purchasers of the marl must provide and man their own lighters. If that were 8 done, and proper arrangements made, c these terms for large contracts would per- f mit the rnari to be carried to distances 1 within 15 miles, for 2 1-2 to 3 cents the r bushel, and 40 or 50 miles for 4 cents. 1 - - 0 ? Bat, to effect this unprecedented (and t heretofore almost unhoped for) degree of | cheapness, it will he essential that pur- j chasers and land-owners shall operate on t a large scale, nnd to the best advantage j in economizing labor, as well as the workcrs of the beds, and shippers of the marl. The lime-stone (as it may bo truly termed, in regard to its calcareous constitution.) which is furnished by this same i bed of marl, is another object of high im- * portance, for cemeDt; and if, as we pre- ' sunie, as rich stone-marl may be found ' in many other places in Virginia, we I might not only be furnished at home with 1 all the lime required for building, but at a f much less price than is paid, to an I immense amount annually, for the stone- < lime of New England, Directed merely t by our knowledge of its chemical consti- ( tution, we hi.rnt this limn and used it for t our own buildings, eight to ten years ago. J Having since sold the farm, Shellbanks, ^ in Prince George county, we had not seen the mortar used there, for six years, until a few days ago. The plastering, of the I dwelling house, which was altogether of 1 this lime, is unusually firm, and has stood 1 better, as Mr. Theron Gee, the present ' proprietor thinks, than any plastering he : has ever known made of other lime. A small part of the brick-work only, for experiment and comparison, was built with mortar made of this lime, in proportions , of two measures of sand to one of lime. The mortar is of remarkable and very unusual hardness, and adhesiveness to the bricks, 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 mortar, and bv the same workmen, and * *? ? ?'> In fanf iKa mnrl limo Ill lilt? frame JlJUi XII tav^i) mv UIUII'IIIIIU mortar is so greatly and strikingly superior, that no observer can doubt but that its value as a cement is increased by some or all the other ingredients which it contains 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 rhe bricks which it unites, or than the stone from which it was burnt. And though we do not know the strength or value of any other bodies of marl than our own, and do not profess to warrant the fair selection of specimens from any other, (and which selection requires much more care and fidelity than are usually given to the object,) we doubt . v<) t 1 not but that there is much good material t of this kind for mortar, in sundry other b marl bods, which it would be greatly for p the public benefit, as well as for private h profit, to have brought into use. v We take this mode of again inviting r| the farmers on the tide water who want ^ marl, to take the proper course (by build- y ing navigating lighters for themselves,) p to make their supply cheap?and there- a by to serve the public interests us well as a their own hy extending the use of this tj greatest of agricultural improvers. At a r. small addition to the prices stated above, y the marl could be put on board of sea coasting vessels, and almost as low, as they .'0 netiines ha\e to pay f>r ballast; so that in this manner it might be deliv- a cred in places even as remote as New u Vork or Charleston, at 6 to 8 cents the p bushel. Those persons who may wish to be more 11 particularly or fully informed of the prnc- ^ tical effects and profits of the marl from n Coggins Point, are referred to Hill Car- d ter, esq., of Shirley, Col. Collier H. a Minge, (now in Jlohile.) and L)r. John ? Minge of Weyahoke. And besides vari.

(| turnips. tl RobertviUe, July 19, 1841. n Dear Sir: As I deem it the duty of ti ivery good citizen, who wishes well to the g >ub!ic generally, to publish the result of h iny experiment, which would be bene- o iciul to the agricultural interests of our w State; and so few know how to plant, c ind make large turnips, which forms a o raluable part of the crop of every planter g >eing so useful to feed the cows, sheep, f md even horses, I will submit to your k mnsideration, and if you think it worthy ? o your publication, the following, which o s strictly true, and may be proved by c nany living witnesses. Some years ago, ti [ do not recollect the,year, (hut it was t! hat warm winter when so manyvpersons a ost their bacon from warm weather,) 1 a )lanted two acres of turnips, as I gener- s illy do, for I depend greatly upon my o urnips, for my oxen and sheep ; the first ? ;ame up pretty well, being planted in v \ugust, but the last, not planted until the t uiddle of September, were very much p scattered over the field. There were in e some places, but one or two in several li eet of each other. Well thought I, I have r ost my turnips. I knew not what to do; t jut having nothing else to depend upon, h [ had them worked as usual, and the fall o md winter being warm, the turnips grew ? inely, and grew to be very large. 1 saw t >ne of my negroes, carrying one to eat, e md took it away; it had been thrown v >ver to the oxen, and the top and tap p oot had been eaten off; it was a flattur- u flip, and measured three feet in circum- a ercnce, and notwithstanding the top and t :ap root were off, it weighed thirteen p rounds. This was not the only large one, a ilthough the largest which I saw. The '1 fame of my turnips spread far and near; t a great many persons came to see them, i and all bespoke seed for the next year; c it was the common rough turnip, which s I had always generally planted; but c while my turnips, before this year, and t even those planted in August, were gen- t enilly as large as my wrist, though some I not larger than mv thumb, vet here the I the turnips were generally, as large as t my thigh, and I don't think there was 1 one that would not have weighed five I pounds, unless it was where they had s come up well and good, as I had thought, ? two or three 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 I consequently, so small. Before this, 1 ' took as much pains in 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 sinatl tur- , nips ; but since then, I have ploughed ; 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 makft turnips again, as large as these I hav? mentioned above. I would have my beds , three feet apart, and have the turnips wo feet on the beds. I write you this, < iecau.se I believe that there are very few ersons, who know how to make turnips, i >elieving too, that the public generally, /ill be benefitted by this, as I had thought ny failure, to in ike a good turnip crop, i Vhen I shall be able to plant turnips this ear, I am not able now to tell,? or we have had no rain, and but one of 1 ny coasequenee, since the 31st of May, nd corn, potatoes, mellons, and even he oak trees are drying up, for want of i ain. With this, I subscribe mvself, ours, (Sic. Jehu. Gr vfting the Peacii With Success. Messrs. Editors?I am not aware that J ny process has been devised tor grafting pon the peach stock, with any certain J rospects of success. Experiments doubtjss have often succeeded in rearing grafts pon peach stocks, but more often failed. i l gardener in my neighborhood informed that he once grafted upon one hun. red peach stocks and all the grafts died ] nd most of the stocks. (He was always uccessful in grafting upon other kinds.) ( ,ast year I was^induced to investigate|the latterwith a view to devise some means of bviating this failure, as it is desirable in ! lany cases to graft in lieu of budding, \ ersuaded that although the discovery 1 light be of no great practical utility, yet ( ; would be an interesting acquisition to < tie sciance of arboriculture. The peach I reeisofmore rapid growth than any of s ur orchard trees, and frequently with us, i i congenial soils, the first year from the | eed, attains the hight of six feet, with j fn>rn nn? iurh to an inch and a half i iarneter. The circulation, of course, lust he very active, and the sudden heck from heading down such a tree, > /ill, in many cases, destroy it. But hould it live, thp flowing, as it were, by 1 he sap; that is, the sap flows so fast from lie wounds, as to prevent the process of ranulation, by which the coin is united o the stock. To graduate, then the suply of sap to the wants of the scion, is he primary object, and the measures neessary to secure this condition, are just hose which tend to preserve the life of he stock after heading down. To carry ly purpose into effect, I proceeded conrary to some of the ordinary rules for , rafting. In the middle of July, I selec2d the scoin from thirty trees, with four r five eyes, taking care to choose those fhich contained laef buds. The stock hosen, were moderately growing instead f thrifty stocks, and were trees of the rowth of that sgoson from the seed. Beore heading down, I passed a long sharp nife down entirely round the tree, and { eve red all the lateral roots al the distance | f three or four inches from the trunk, acording to its growth. This done, the rees were headed down at a point where lie stem was just the size of the scion, or little larger, as the scions were inserted , little on one side of the pith. The in- , ertion* were made in the ordinary way , f cleft grafting. The scions were then ( ecured by a narrow strip of sheet lead, , found spirally over the whole length of he cleft, and a small ball of grafting clay ut over the whole. To my gratification very scion inserted in this way grew off inely, and the comingseason will doubtless nake handsome trees. I do not know hat the lead binding or mode of insertion 3 essenl ial, and although I have tried no ther plan, yet I presume that other methids will answer equally well, provided he preliminary steps are properly attendd to. On other stocks I have grafted yith success, with no other binding or irotcction than the strip of lead, and have ised lead ligatures, with great expedition ( .nd success in building. The introduc* ion of lead ligatures was merely an ex. teriment with a view to expedite grafting ind budding in large nursery operations. Thus far I am inclined to give the prefersnccs to the old methods. When head ng down the stocks, I took care in every :ase to leave either one or two small shoots, iome 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 >uds 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 stalk. The clayand ligatures were renoved in the fall when vegetation lad deceased, and the wounds vere all well closed. I am lot sure that it is absolutely essential to eave any thing growing n:i the stalk, and egret that [ did not try some w;thout. C'H. G. PAGE, M. D. Washingion City, Feb., 1841. Albany Cultivator.

In announc- h ng this fact to the public, the Faculty a consider it their duty to enter at some ? detail into an exposition of the Constitu- a tion of the Medical School, and to pre?ent, for the consideration of the Profes. jion, certain views in reference to the ^ facilities which its establishment will af ford for the cultivation of Medical and Chirurgical Science. n I. Charter of the University. t< The Charter of Incorporation of the University of New York secures to its n Medical Facility, to the fullest extent, all ti those powers, privileges, and immunities t which the most favoured Medical Insti. v tions in Europe or in this country enjoy, j, * * * * r II. Constitution of the Medical De- a pabtment of the university of new j York. a * * * l< It will be observed that the number of j Medical Professorships is limited to six, t viz: 1. Surgery, 2 Anatomy* 3. Theory a and Practice of Physic, 4. Instututes of ^ Medicine and Materia Medica, 5. Mid. wifery and the D:seas6s of Woman and ; Children, 6. Chemistry. 2 As the Council, in making this arrange- c ment, were guided by the advice of the Faculty, it may, perhaps, be proper to r explain to the members of the profession ( the reasons which led them to recommend t that the Chairs should not,for the present, ^ exceed that number. s There is no Medical Institution in the j United States, which requires from those r who are candidates for its Diploma more a than three years' study, and an attend. { a nee on two full courses of lectures; and the fact is known to every person at all conversant with medical education in this ^ country, that very few students attend lectures for more than two sessions, be. fore they come forward for graduation. * Such being the case, the Medical Faculty 1 conceive, that te multiply professorships, and to impose the obligation on medical t students to attend additional lectures dur- a ing the two sessions usually devoted by I them to an attendance at college, so far h from having tho effect of elevating the rj medical education of the country, will e have a contrary tendency. Let the ^ members of the profession recall to mind q t Wo norirvrl r>f thoir nu/n nnnilntrn. a nri AVAn r~i?bw> g the most diligent and intellectual of them ( will admit, that a daily attendance on six distinct of lect ufcs, with the necessary attention to practical anatomy and clinic, al lectures, taxed their mental and physic* al powers to the utmost, and that to have required them to attend addittonal lee- f tures, no matter how important the sub. 1 jects, would not have promoted their im- c provement. The great defect in our pro- t sent system of medical education is net rj that we do not teach a sufficient number 8 of branches in our Medical Schools, but, Q that we do not sufficiently extend the f term for attendance. " * In the opinion of the Medical Faculty, , it is prejudicial to the interests of medical education to imitate the Schools of Europe in the multiplication of professorships, 8 whilst we do not imitate them in extend- c ingthe term of medical education. In 8 Europe, where the medicaljprofessorships 1 have been increased, the studeht is required to attend lectures for at least four t sessions of six months each, and these g spread over a period of four years, before i he can come forward as a candidate for ] graduation.* In this country we require ^ students to attend two full courses of all c the lectures which are delivered in the f school they may select, be they six, or ^ eight, or more. Our sessions occupy only four months, and as already stated, a mainrifv nf thnort whn trraduate. here, do i 30 after attending lectures during two sessions. The injurious effect of multi- 8 plying lectures which it is obligatory oo * the students to attend, in no short a period, * is too palpable to require argument to. c prove it. Again: The-experience of the s members of the Medical Faculty pf the e * Faculty will feel thankful to their Profes- J sional Brethren for any specimens which they may can tribute. M f * ? - ***?' wt < jjy niversity of Now York, as teachers of e different branches of Medical Science, 3d some of them have",been engaged in lose duties for more than thirty years, is convinced them, that the uniting, in le professorship, the departments of Maria iT/vxJica and the Institutes of Mediae, better secures the interest, and prootes the improvement of the students, he details of the Materia Medica, when ught as they usually are, separately oio the other departments, are necessarv dry; but, when their study is combined ith that of physiology and pathology, 3 it is when the Chair of Materia Medica urns a part of that of the Institutes of Tedlcine, it becomes deeply interesting. [I. The superior facilities which hf. Citv of New-York possesses fo* he cultivation of medical and SCKgical Science. No doubt can exist in the minds of the itelligent and well informed as to -the jperior advantages which a great city'Eords for the cultivation of Medicine. If e look to Europe, we find that the Great fedical School* are all located in large ities ; as in Dublin, in Edinburg, in Lonon, in Paris, in Berlin, and in Virnna. Where minor Medical institution* ave been formed in the smaller cities, as t Gottingen, Montpeller, and Hale, the overnments of the countries where they re situated have established, in connecon with them, extensive hospitals, in 'hich there are congregated not only the ntients of the surrounding districts, but, here ate introduced into them interesting ases, which are brought at the expense nd through the influence of the governlent, from the most remote parts of the erritory. Sustained, however, by all he aids and influences which the wealth nd power of Princes afford, the facilities hey offer to the students who resort to hem are considered inferior to tboeo pinch the great Medical Schools, estabishcd in large and populous cities, fur* lish. And very few students in Europe ire willing to engage in the duties of heir profession uotil they shall have ittended lectures, for one or two years at east, in one of the Great Metropolitan dedical Institutions. Admitting, there* ?re, the fact that it is essential to tha uccessful cultivation of Medical Science hat the school where lectures are deliver* id, shall be loctated in a farge and populous ty, no argument is required to prove that, STew-York is preeminently fitted to be* :ome the centre of Medical Scienco. The limits of this announcement will lot permit the Facnlty to enlarge oo this opic, nor to detail the advantages which he medical student who resorts to Pfcw* fork for his education will enjoy in pro* ecuting the studies of his profession, n the vastness of her population, the lumber and the extent of her hospital# .nd Dispensaries, congregated within he wards of which there is to be seen ivery variety of disease and accident to vhich the human frame is liable, and the miimited supply of the material for the cultivation of Practical Anatomy which he furnishes, she stands without a rival n the United Slates. If the course which has been followed iy the Council of the University in the election of the Professors of the Afedical )epartment be referred to, it will be oh* erved that they have been giiided,by ne To* >r sectional feeling. They have consid* red the Institution of which they are the ;uardians, not local, hut a National one. fhey have accordingly selected a Profes* *+ A .1 /*1 /%. or trom one 01 me colleges oc Virginia, wo from Philadelphia, and three- from $ew-York.
