At a late meeting of the Philadelphia Agricultural Society, a member enquired if aay one prdkent could speak experiment ally on the culture and value of the tare or vetch, which is in such very genera use in England, where the summer-oiliirgs system is adopted ; remarking, thai from all accounts the plant9 must be as^ tonishingiy productive as well as nutriti^ ous. Having m\self employed it for thai purpose very largely, and for many years I would say, its productiveness has nevei jet besn overstated, or its value overrated, as food for all kinds of cattle. Horses, milk cows, fatting beasts, sheep and hogs, will grow fat while feeding on it, and the older it grows the more valuable it becomes, as the seed when formed in the pod, is far superior to oats or any other grain for the purpose of cattle feed ; the seeds are black, and the size of very small peas. The crop is used for soiling by cutting while green and taking it tc thestahies; it is sometimes fed off by shfeep, confining them on it by means of a temporary fencing or hurdles; cattle are not liable to become hoven while feeding it in any state of its growth; on good land it has been known to reach the height of three feet and even more, producing as much as 12 tons of green food per acre, which, when well dried, will yield 3 tons of the most valuable hay on the farm.?The first sowing takes place as soon after harvest as possible io England, upon land designed for the wheat-crop the next autumn, with the winter variety of seed, which can easily be distinguished from the summer tare, as it is smaller, rounder, and blacker ; these will bear the severity of the winter; rye is often mixed to enable the crop to stand up, when it attains a considerable height, but a sprinklingof wheat has been found best for this purpose, as it remains longer succulent in the summer. The crop from this sowing will he fit for cutting for soiling in May, and the stalks if left in the rround will afford a second growth for aheep-feed ; but as the tare is a fallow jl crop, it is the best management to cut all off and plough the land deep as soon as the crop is removed, well working it and cleaning it during the summer, preparatory to wheat-sowing, early in the autumn after a dressing of well prepared compost, if this has not been given to the tares? a farbetter arrangement for bo'h crops. The next sowing is with rhe summer var. iety of the tare, as ear!) in March as the AHasnn will admit, on land that has been ploughed preparatory in the nutumn or winter; again in April another crop is sown, and, if necessary, two other sowings might take place, the last so late as the end of June, that so a succession of this most valuable crop might be secured for the whole of the summer, and until the end of September. Such crops produce immense quaniiti?\> of manure, which is earned from ti e sl eds ac : "omposed for dressing othe:> ; < >;?:?,.?? :istance, which roiv ?n ?r. !?r> 1 from which the first crop of t?" na.i beon carried, and fc' nffintimf* -.cat-sow. ing in the au join. It uiust not be forgotten that the richer the land, the gieater will he the crop of tares, and none will pay so amply for manure; but when the crop is very heavy, there is. less chance of obtaining good seed, and it that be the object, it is recommended to tnow the first crop early for soiling, and permit the second growth to stand for *eed, which is sometimes a precarious business, nothing being more uncertain; I have purchased seed at a guinea and a half, a bushel, and sold the next year's produce obtained from it at six shillings a bushel! When the price of seed is moderate, the quantity sown is two bushels ? - ' If - ?-? ?i?hnlotror Or IWO 1I1U tl Iia.ll per uuie, uui numvioi the price may be, it will be repaid in the crop, if the land be in good heart. As much as 30 bushels ef seed per acre has been obtained, but 15 bushels, and often half that, is more common. Under a heavy crop of tares, the land will be founc perfectly clean and mellow, and will turr up like an ash heap : and there is no qu.es tion with me, that the crop may be raiser with success in this country, if well cul tivated on good land, rather stiff in its na ture, and lying ccol. With regard fo the value of the tare fo: soiling, it had been calculated that tei times more stock might be kept on then than on any other commonly cultivatei crop; horses require no corn or any othe fopd, and cows give fnore butter whili feeding on them than on any other food whatever. It is not strange, that no leg1 ular experiment on an extensive scale has 1 yet been made on such an invaluable crop t in this country ? R Broken Wind in Horses, j A great number of dessections have proved that the cause of this disease is a J rupture of the air vessel iu the lungs.? The difficulty of breathing which some $ person experience after unusual or pro1 longed effort, would seem to arise from the f same cause, and there is some reason to , think that the disease may be hereditary, r This is an important suggestion, so far as J the human race is concerned. "Dr. Jackson fount! that of 28 persons 3 affected with this rupture of the air cells, 18 were the offspring of parents (fathers ' or mothers) affected with the same dis. ease, and that several of them had died from this cause. In some instances the brothers and sisters of these persons were i similarly affected. On the other hand I of 50 persons unaffected with the disease, ' three only were the offspring of parents ' who had suttered trom it; wtience u 101. lows that rupture of the air cells of the . lungs is frequently a hereditary disease ; a fact important to man and horse, at all events to the breeder of the latter. t Medico Chirurgical Rev. i IMPORTANCE OP AGRICULTURE.' As a practical art, involving necessarily the existence of all other arts, and diI rectly the uses and aids of many of them, i the importance of the agricultural art * cannot be over estimated. In an eco. nomical and political view with the exceptionofthe intellectual and moral in! terests of the community, which are also in some, degree in obeyance to it, it is obviously by far the most important of all its interests,?the department of its in dustry which most deserves the attention , of the patriot, the philosopher, and the philanthropist, as the means of subsisi tence, and comfort, and the foundation of national wealth. Extensive as are the , commercial enterprise and the manufaci turing industry of Great Britain, yet her agricultural interests far transcend them. In France, more than one hundred and twenty million pounds of sugar are annually produced from the soil, where, little more than thirty years since, not a pound was grown; to say nothing of products in silk and wine, which are in proportion. It is easy to see what a stake she has in agriculture. In China, a nation almost exclusively agricultural, for her various manufactures are mainly concerned in the products of her agriculture, where, besides her vast exports, more than three hundred and thirty millions of people are subsisted upon these products, we gather some impression of the immense importance of this art. There, likewise, the art has been carried to a higher perfection than in any other part of the world. Among ourselves it would be vain, in the present youth of the country, to attempt to calculate the extent to which the art is destined to he carried. The forthcom. ing census of its agricultural products will exhibit results, which will excite universal surprise. An annual crop in the Southern States, of more than 2,000,000 bales of cotton, of 249,000,000 pounds of sugar in Louisiana, of 42,000000 bushels ot Indian corn in Tennessee, of 18,000,000 bushels of wheat in Ohio, [ and more than 10,000,000 pounds of maj pie sugar in New York, great as the results appear, are yet only the steps in the progress of this gigantic interest. These facts show how essentially agriculture concerns the condition of the whole country. This interest, likewise, , is certain to increase in an equal ratio i with the growth of her population; and . let her commerce be ever so extended, or iter manutactures as numerous and improved as invention and skill and art can ' make them, yet they must always be sub: sidiarv to her agriculture. It is her ag. v D O [ riculture which freights the barks of commerce, and drives the wheels and spindles | of her manufactories in their rapid and infinite gyrations. At her breasts; withi out a single exception, the whole of the human family are to be sustained, nourished, and comforted. ; The perfection of agrjcuiture, as an . I art. imolies the obtaining the greatest amount of produce from the earth, with i the least injury to the land, and at cost of ' labor. It has been often remarked, that ' the actual productive powers of an acre * of land have never yet been reached.? i Magnificent and surprising results have 1 been attained, but in no case can it be J said, with confidence, that more might ( not have been effected. In general, the agricultural art falls far below the condij tion of productiveness and improvement . which it might obviously attain; and the . aversion among farmers to change their established h tbits, and the slowness with r which agricultural improvements of great i and decided advantage extend them, i selves, even into neighbouring districts, I are well known and sufficiently remarkar ble. Something of this has been owing 3 to the stationary habits of farmers, to a I want of education, and neglect of reading and inquiry ; and much to prejudice, i the natural child of ignorance, against 1 scientific suggestions and the application of science to art, which, so far as they are concerned, is wholly of a practical character. This prejudice against the applications of science to agriculture, or to what in vulgar parlance is called bookfarming% has we confess, found some natural encouragement in the fact, that many persons wholly destitute of practical knowledge and skill, have undertaken to apply purely theoretical rules, without regard to differences of soil, climate, natureofcrop, and nameless circumstances by which the application of these rules should be varied, or might be rendered unseasonable or futile ; and that, in truth many persons have undertaken to make i books, and to give directions in husbandI ry who were grossly ignorant of its great principles, and possessed little kaowledge of its vanons practical details and rules. It must, ut the same time, be admitted, that science has as yet accomplished but little ; and that, beyond that knowledge which any intelligent, practical and experienced man easily and almost neccssari* ly acquires of soils, manures, vegetation, and crops, little has been ascertained of a practical value ; and the profound sc. crets of vegetable life, or what is properly termed vital action in vegetable organism and growth, remain in all their original nbtruseuess and mystery. The little success, therefore, which scientific men have had in their attempts to resolve and explain them, and especially the little prac. tical utility which has come from their rhetorical explanations, have created, with the purely practical, a prejudice against such inquiries, as invincible as it is unworthy of sensible men. Yet it will not be denied, in this case, that we know as much of vegetable as we know ofanimal life. Anatomy may be termed an exact science; it is to a great extent matter of sensible observation and measurement; but the operations in the human organism, which are strictly vital, are altogether undisclosed. We know in truth as much how the stems and leaves and fruit are formed and perfected as we know how the food, which we receive, is converted into blood, and serum, and bile, and muscle, and fibre, and ten. don, and bone; and we know no more. Shall we despair of going further ? By no means. There seems, indeed, in this case, to be a limit of enquiry; an impassable barrier, where human sagacity and inquisitiveness are at once repelled ; the darkness is intense before, above, and around us, and the mere rush-light, which we hold out to guide us, serves no purpose but to render this darkness visible. Shan we then be discouraged in all attempts at further advancement 7 Not at all. It may be indeed that we reached the end of our line ; and that, until new endow, ments are bestowed, the mind can soar no h igher in its flight. But with equal, nay, witli much more reason may we suppose, that the cause of failure is not so much attributable to the limitation or impo. tence of our faculties to proceed further, as to the imperfection or error of our modes of approach and inquiry. The philosophical mind, valuing truth and knowledge as the highest of all attain, ments, will never rest satisfied with pres ent acquisitions; will regard that which is conceivable as knowab/e ; like a vigilant and skilful officer before a beseiged fortress, whose direct approach is precluded, will be continually seeking some private or concealed mode of access; or, like tne man in the Scriptures knocking at his neighbor's door at midnight, and hoping presently to be heardf or bis importunity.

If knowledge and science are useful in any art or science are useful in art or department of business, why should they not be in agriculture, an art which involves many others, and which in its success combines the influence and operation of more elements than any other? It is well ascertained that certain plants will grow only in certain situations and under certain circumstances; that different soils have different properties, prejudicial to the growth of some plants, favorable to the perfection of others ; in some cases distinguished by an cxhuberont fertility, in others by an almost incurable barreness, but yet in mast cases capable of modification, remedy or im provement; that the operation of various measures is various ; and that their effi ciency or injury depends upon their con dition, preparation, or modes of applica tion. It is equally well ascertained, thai by some modes of cultivation, double tnc produce is obtained under , a diflereni cultivation, double the produce is obtain, ed on the same land, at the same time placed under a progressive improvement. It is ascertained that by the applicatior i of gypsum, or soda or salt, or various ani mal substances, an extraordinary produc tiveness follows, and the crops are oilier . trebled and quadrupled. How shall wi ?"*' . pretend, then there is not here the most , ample room tor the application of science ; in the resolution of these remarkable facts i and in profiting by these remarkable means for the improvement of the soil i and the increase of its productiveness?? [ Separate however, from the obvious utility of such inquiries, it is difficult to conceive of subjects more interesting to a philosophical curiosity than all those connected with animal or vegetable life and growth ; for what in nature is more i wonderful than the birth and progress of a human being, or the germination of a dried seed and its advancement to the i perfection of its uses and fruits? i There are besides grounds of encouragement in this case, which the philosophical mind will appreciate. In the ordinary course of nature there is no such thing as accident or miracle. As far as man's sagacity has penetrated into the material world,?and of the spiritual world, we know nothing but by divine revelation,?All the phenomena of nature are foqnd to proceed upon fixed principles and laws, and to be the results of nicely established and well balanced, com[ pounded, and adjusted influence and forces. Many ol tnese operations man is capable of imitating, and the most extraordinary results are obviously at his command. We cannot have a doubt, therefore, that the most recondite as well as the most operations of nature are all the results of established principles and laws. Many of these laws we have already ascertained, and they are of daily applicaticn and use in the common business of life. How much further we may proceed in this discovery of them, time only can tell As yet we have only placed our foot on the first step of the threshold. It is not an idle nor criminal presumption to seek to penetrate further into the temple of nature, until perhaps we may raach the Holy of Holies, where the Creator sits enthroned in his effulgence, and where we may adorn him in the full blaze of truth. North American Review. From the American Farmer. Patent Office, July 10,1841. The medicinal qualities of tomatoes having greatly increased their cultivation, and every new preparation of the ar. tide is deserving of consideration. A sample ? tomato figs'1 have just been deposited at the Patent Office, of a very superior quality. From the taste I should suppose all the good qualties of the fruit were retained. In appearance the drum of tomatoes resembles one of figs so nearly that they might easilv be mistaken for the same. t The sample is deposited by Mrs. Steiger, of this city, and the recoipt transmitted with it, is enclosed for publication. It is deeply to be regretted that since the periodicals of the day are open to communi. cations, that so many valuable improve, mentsare lost to the world barely for the want of publicity. Others may have ^ IM I f K ft ron I no k UriCU IUC iDiuavucn nitu u ivvi|<v| nvnviu> less successful. Very respectfully, H. L Elswobth. Take six pounds of sugar to one peck for 16 lbs.) of the fruit. Scald and remove the skin of the fruit in the usual way. Cook them over a fire, their own juice being sufficient without t e addition of water, until the sugar penetrates and they are clarified. They are then taken out, spread on dishes, and dried in the sun. A small quantity of the syrup should be occasionally sprinkled over them whilst drying; after which, pack them down in boxes, treating each layer with powdered sugar. The syrup is af. forwards concentrated and bottled for use. They keep well from year to year, ' and retain surprisingly their flavor, which is nearly that of the best quality of fresh figs. The pear shaped or single tomatoes answer the purpose best. Ordinary brown sugar may be used, a large portion of which is retained in the syrup. Value ofasues. Professor Jackson, in one of his lectures in Boston, in illustrating the manner in which soils might he rendered fer' tile, said that?'A farm within knowledge blowing sand or pine barren, and almost > hopeless, on which ten bushels of corn to i the acre could scarcely be grown by the i judicious application of ashes, had been made to produce forty and fifty bushels to the acre. We do not question the correctness of Dr. Jackson's statement. Our obsesvation has convinced us that on sandy soil, with the exception of clay marl, there is nothing more beneficial in the application to such soils than ashespnnd very fortunately, unless uncommon quantities nf ni?tA oviata is unch enila. IftUchod are near|y as benefiicial as unleaehed ones.? Ashes do what lime cannot-?they render ' the soil more senacious of moisture, and ' although their action is not as prompt or > efficient on cold sour soils, they are for > the reason Assigned considered as valuable i on light sandy ones- Of this fact, the farmers of Long Island and New Jprsey . are well aware, and in the gatheriug and \ application of ashes find a certain sptirce of ? profit. I A GOOD SIZED TURNIP. v A late English paper says there is a f turnip now in possession of a clergyman |i near Fackenham, Norfolk county, which tl weighs eighty-four pounds, and girths fl five feet two inches! It was grown in a Maria Island, Van Dieman's land, and fi was sent to England carefully packed in p strong brine.?When first taken from the e earth, it weighed 92 pounds I f ? ji PRESERVING EGGS. f A Mr. Jayne, of Yorkshire, England, c obtained a patent for the following receipt, ^ for preserving eggs, which we think wor. e thy of trial: , One bushel of quick lime, 32 ounces of ( salt, 8 ounces of cream of tartar. Mix the same tpgether with as much water as will reduce the composition to consistency that an egg when put into it, will swim. It is said eggs have been kept K in this way, sound for two years. ? . ti SPECIMEN OF FEMALE INDUSTRY. We were shown yesterday, five beauti- , fu! silk shawls, made of double and twisted sewing silk, which in texture, weight and r color, will compare with any India Shawls c of the same material. Four of them were a yard square, and the other, black, a about a yard and a half square. The 1 twist was even and free from all knots, 1 and the whole skillfully and beautifully a put together. We take pride in the fact that they were made by a lady, and a na- r live of Georgia. They are the hand 8 work of Mrs. Oliver W. Cox, of Henry County, Georgia, who raised the worms, J reeled and twisted the silk, and knotted [ the shawls. She is a pattern of female " skill and industry to her sex, which if ' generally imitated, will be the means of makiUg the fair of Georgia as useful as J they are attractive, and help.moets in J very deed to their husbands. ' While speaking of domestic industry, we saw yesterday our friend Burton of s the Hazard District, in this county, dress. 1 ed in a full suit of domestic Nankin, I scarcely distinguishable from the article i of Pekin. He raised the cotton, his wife * and daughters carded and spun it, hi? ] wife wove the cloth, and cut-out and < made the coat, pantaloons and vest.

I An agriculturist, rendered attentive to i the vast importance of bones for manure, I instituted privately some comparative ex- I periments; the results of which prove, that bone dust acts in the cultivation of ground, I as compared to the best stable manure, i 1st. In respect to the quality of grain, as ] 7 to 5. 2nd. In respect to quantity, as < 5 to 4. 3rd. In respect to the durability I of the energy of soils, as 3 to 2. It produces several collateral advantages. 1st. r ff deafrnvs weeds. 2nd. It diminishes 14 the necessity of fallow-crops. 3rd. This concentrated manure, or substitute] for I manure, is more easy of conveyance, less t laborious to spread, and can with facility t be applied to the steepest lands, in very t hilly countries, or in wet meadow lands 4th. It renders agriculture practicable ^ without cattle breeding, grazing, &c. Mark Lane Express. * t Rare Species of Stock. We yesterday a had the pleasure of beholding an article in ^ the stock line, entirely new to us, and, a we believe such as would be new to every one who has never travelled the native v land of the animal. This was a species b of wild hog, which is a native of the v northern, or mountaneous region of Mexico where these were caught. They are five ^ in number, all of a color, and of that cu- c rious, indescribable color, called "thunder and lightning," each hair and bristle beolfm-nofolu Klack and white to the iii? auuiuuivij ? number of three and four alternation of | each color. The tip end of every hair is black, with the exception of hair around , the neck, the endsdf which are white.? They are all precisely of the same color. The proprietor has brought them on here for the purpose of introducing them into common use among our farmers, and in- . formed us that he would dispose of three of them, and he says that the product this . species, whon crossed with the common stock, is a material improvement upon both as they are both more thrifty, and require less sustenance than our common swine, while at the same time the flesh ] is even more delicious than the common. . The taste of the native hog has a sensible approach to that of bear meat/ They are well worthy the trouble of a mile's walk to look at. They may he seen at . No. 34, corner of Main and Elm street.? , St. Louis Republican, Foul Ant in Stables.?1The follow ing fact, which wc copy from the Far- J ruer's Cabinet, was also communicated to us ; and believing it to possess interest for the owners of horses, we hasten to lay | it before our readers. It should be remember that the plaster by being incorporated I with the manure, is worth at least three times its cost.?Gerau^ntown Tel. "At the last meeting of the Philadelphia Agricultural Society, a member drew the attention of the company to the fact estalished by Liebig, in hi? late work, Organic Chemistry, " that plaster of Paris (gypsum) has the property absorbing volatile ammonia; and urged upon all those ivho kepp stock, the very simple mode by ' ' t irhich their stables could be rendered per* ectly sweet, healthy and inodorous, merey by scattering abroad about a bushel of be pulverised gypsum per month on the ioors, by which means the complaints * . nd evils arising from the stench of con* ined stables?weak eyes, dtc., would be irevented, the gypsum used being renderd far more valuble by such application, or the purpose of manure. He also very udiciouslv remarked, that the har and t ^ 1 " w odder which are generally deposited over >ur horses, their stables must become ;reatly contaminated by the penetrating ifHuoia of ammonia arising from the oiioe, rhich might be remedi 3d by the applies* ion above recommenc e 1." THE WOBURNS. A correspondent of the New York Spirit of the Times, accompanies a cut if a Woburn boar with the following rtaarks: This animal was imported, from Woiorn, in England, and is considered by nany judges of stock, to be the finest ape* imen of swine in the United States. Two members of the Committee, to 1 ward prizes on stock at the last Fair of he American Institute, informed me since hat they considered him a perfect animal, ind could not point out a fault. By the way, these two gentlemen, are iot interested in any particular breed of twine. His measurement at 22 months old, vas 7 feet 8 inches long, 6 feet 2 inches n girth, and 2 feel 81*2 inches high; and le was supposed to weigh nearly seven mndred pounds. From the great difficulty of obtaining twine of this breed in England, few have >een imported, and they are not extensive y known in this country. ; . The Complete Grazier,'(a work on lire itock, published in Loodon) says of the IVobprn breed, "This is a new variety, inroduced by the late Duke of Bedford ; ts size is large, and color various. These iwine are well formed, hardy, kindly disposed to tatten, attaining nearly twice the size and weight of other hogs, in a given period of time." Ree's Cyclopaedia describes them as "a lardy, well formed, prolific sort, riging quickly to a large weight." An importation of Woburn swine wasihade several years since to Long Island, md they were nearly all destroys! by the; burning of the barn in which they were kept. A gentleman in Connecticut had obtained some of that stock, and not know, ng the name of the breed, called, them Vorfolk thin rind; they have been crossid with native stock, and are very cele>rated in that section of the country. One was slaughtered last fall, fourteen nonths old, which weighed, when dressed, 180 pounds. The steward of the Duke of Bedford, ast spring informad Captain Morgan, of he London line of Packets, that the Woturn hogs became so fat as to be objecionable on that account.. In this country, where Indian corn if ised for making pork fat and setid, instead >f barley and buckwheat, the objection of he Duke's steward does not hold gooc, md if any farmer does not prefer fal hogs, le is welcome to propagate the Landpike, ,nd Alligator sort. If any of the readers of your paper, pish to obtain any pigs of the pure Womm breed, they are referred to my ad~ ertisemcnt in your columns. A considerable number of this stock lave been forwarded to some of the Southern States, and have given great atisfaction. CHARLES STARR, Jr. Mendhara, N. J. August. 1841.
