.'.Several gentlemen interested in the
advancement of agricultural science and
improveaiOnt, and of rural education, r
have proposed to Mr. Henry Colman* late J
Commissioner of Agricultural Survey of *
Massachusetts, to visit Europe for those v
objects. The plan is for'him to spend a 6
stearin England, in the examination of '
(ho Husbandry and Rural Economy of ?
that country ; and a year on the conti- *
neat, in the examination of French, Flem- c
ish, Swiss, and German Husbandry, and
especially the Agricultural or Manual f
[Labor Schools and the Experimental c
Farm*. *
x It is thought that ouch an examination,
' a yet never undertaken by an American, r
might, if well conducted, essentially con- f
duce to the advancement of agricultural '
knowledge and improvement in thiscoun. '
afy, and especially aofve the cause of ru- 1
thl and practical education, which ia now
exert ing. great interest throughout the '
United States. The general plan of the 1
furvey will cdhfonn to Mr. Cbimnn*s Sor- 1
jjoy oTthe. AgricultUre of Massachusetts. [J
It is proposed to publish his reports in
fuecess'nre numbpre. The first number J
lis expected to appear by the first of Jan- !

It will be eeon from the above adver>
*t|eement, that the subscriber contemplates
a tour in Europe for agricultural inquiry
and observation. This enterprise has been
commenced under tho encouragement of
Dome of the moot distinguished friends
and advocates of agricultural improvement
in tho country ; and with a strong
conviction oa his own part, after giving
to it the moot maturo consideration, that
4* no manner could ho, in his humble
sphere* render so essential a service to
the groat cause which lie hat so long had I
at heart, tho cause of an improved hut- I
fcaadry, and the enlargement of the com- *
Torts and the elevation of the character I
end condition of the rural classes. 1
He hois had the greatest satisfaction in 1
finding so cheerful and liberal a cooperation
in his enterprise, not merely of ]
personal friends, but of gentlemen in va- i
riewis parts of the country, upon whose a
kindness he had no claim, from an avowed r
conviction of tho great utility of the un- r
dortaking if it can be well executed.? i
The Massachusetts Society for promoting a
agriculture, with that signal liberality t
and intelligence by which thoir measures n
have nlwttya been directed, have sub. r
?cril?ed for one hundred copies of the Ro- p
jK>rts, intending them for distribution in o
agricultural premiums, or otherwise. The t
Worcester County Agricultural Society n
of Massachusetts, which niny justly claim \
the character ol' a pattern society in its t
?al and the practical wisdom of it* men- si
urea for agricultural improvement* have ci
ppropriated tiro hundred dollars from its
unde for the same object. ThflRasex is
bounty Agricultural Society, Mass., 91
invp, aa in the former oase, distinctly l?i
ind emphatically approved the object by I)
lioir resolutions, and added the more sub. c<
tantial encouragement of a subscription nn
or twenty-five copies, with the efeprcs- w
ion of their regret that, on ncc&irit of "ai
stent draft* uj>on their fhnda, they were ti
inable to dt'morc. The Berkshire Agicultural
Society in Massachusetts, at an e;
nformat meeting of the Board of True- Jo\
ees, have likewise pledged their liberal A
o-operation, which will be confirmed at A
heir regular meeting. The Ontario Ag- st
icultural Society, N. Y.. besides passing v<
osolutions highly commendatory of the h
roje?<, have followed In the footvtops of tfi
he Worcester Agricultural Society.? F
Chose are all the agricultural societies in ei
he country before Which the subject has, ei
is vet, been brought. c<
A single public spirited individual in ei
he county of 8cnecn, Judge Sackett, has jc
rmde himself personally responsible for ,d<
me hundred copies of the Reports, for ci
bat society and county. Another indi- it
idual, near Boston, whose patronage of u
ivery good eatcrprise is well known, and
shorn Heaven seems to have blessed with d
realth only that he might do good with jc
t, has made a subscription for one hun. tl
Ired copies. Another individual, equally c
listinguishcd through a long life for his tl
mblic spirit, has Vubscribed for fifty I]
copies. Thirteen individuals have sub- p
icribcd for twenty-five copies each ; five, a
or ten each; and many for five and lesser
lumbers. Indeed, the subscription has u
scarcely been presented to an individual ti
vho has refused his aid, or hesitated as c
o the utility of the ptojecl; and embraces ii
nany of the host names in the country. s
The subscriber would do great injustice a
o his own grateful feelings, if he did not n
tcknowledge in these subscriptions, much e
>f persons! kindness and confidence, tea- o
imonials of regard and good will which tl
te cannot too highly estimate; but at t<
he same time, he is equally hn|Vpy in ij
Knowing that nothing of this sort wbuld p
tave been done, were hot the object itoclf c
?f acknowledged public utility. t
It may be said that English or Europe. ii
in agriculture cannot be adapted to our e
^ndition. A difference in climate, in ?
toil, in tho price of, or facility ofprocur- r
' I-I 1 ?
>iig moor, tnu in various circumstances a
which are obvious, must, or course, mate- v
rially affect the agriculture of each counlry|;
hut, at the same time, there itust be v
much that is gonoral which is equally ap- v
dicable to both. In countries whdre the v
agricultural art has been carried to so f
[jreat a degree of perfection as in 'Eng. t
land and some parts of the continent, t
there h^ust be a great deal to be loarnod, ti
which cannot fail to be highly instxi^tivo a
&nd useful. If it be said that this c^n be n
learned (tens books, we can only reply h
that it is books upon this subject, which t
we design to put into the hands pf our s
farmers; and with this difference 3 The i
recounts we have had of foreign agri- J
:ulture have been, in most instances, g
from foreigners thomselves. (n such c
eases, it is to be expected, from their long
familiarity tyith their own course of hus- \
bnndry, that many things would escnpe i
notice or not be deemed worthy of ohscr- c
ration, and yet in tlremselves quite im- t
portnnt, which would at onco strike the |
notice of a stranger ; and it is our object <
to enable the American farmer to look at >
foreign agriculture with American eyes. \
Bat many improvements are now going

lomo, more than doubling the crops.? ?

Vom foreign agricultural periodicals, a
nucli more is doubtless to be lenrnt from t

>roduct of wheat has been in manv Darts c
+ I |
>f Great Britain actually doubled by im- 1
Mroved modos of culture. What can be
nore important than to know precisely v
ind fully what these modes can be ?
The quality of the dairy products of c
England, and of some parts of the conti. {
lent, are universully admitted to bo much p
luperior to our own in general, nnd^n g
nost markets in tho world, they command t
i higher price. It must be a grent gain, r
f by any exact information to bo obtained t
thread, our dairy produce* as most cerainly
can l*o done, can be brought into 1
in equal competition with others. The 8
tew Tariff law? of England, now pro- P
losing to open English ports to mnny of "
>ur agricultural products, especially in o
ho articles of cured provisions, it is obvi- ^
usly of high imporlunco to loam precise- c
y in what form they mny bo best sent in. j,
o their markets, since the success of such t|
lipments must materially depend on tl
rcumsUnce.
The production or sijk in this count
destined to lie, or. is capable of \
wring a most important and profital
ruqch of rural industry. It is obvioi
r of great moment to learn the wh<

But were nothing else gained than 1

VALUK OP PLASTBR.
The subjoined extract Horn a comi
licntion, which appeared in the laRt M
lachuselts Ploughman, speaks in j
orms of the value of Plaster as a mnni
ind as the experience of the writer

4,In passing through Pennsylvni
vhicli I frequontly did, I hoard much t
if tho benefits of Plaster of Paris ; n pi
nany of tho farmers, I was told, we
:omo fifty miles to Philadelphia, in
imo of Inst war, and give twenty doll
icr ton for Piaster, and let their man
;o down the stream rather than to lu
he trouble to cart it on their Innds. 1
tot speak of this as approving of it, f<
hirik every farmer ought to makons mi
nanure us possible. I was told tho x
he Dutch farmers used it there wni
ow clovor and put one or two bushels
1. lU ?
>?mm iu uiu iivru nnu plough in llio r
nd sow wheat. I was informed in F
imoro Hint a great donl of land on
astern shoro of Maryland which I
een worn out by mining tobacco i
orn had boon reclaimed by tho use
luster. Having got my ideas mo rnic
lie first thing I did after 1 got a piece
: , ?? "*r'~?-"~
Ilia Iqnd was to try if. a ltd in thrcfl Weeks i
altai 1 applied'it. On examination I
;fy thought aa the Q<ieen of Sheb* did when L
w. ?h^ visited King Solomon, " the half had
j|e not been told mo;" it waa applied to n
I*. P'ec? l??*ny aoif which had recently
. been laid down and one ctop of hay cut
from it, sdy half a ton to the acre. On
3 the ftrat examination after the planter was
applied there was thrco times oa much as
f*r where therb was none. A part of this
piece of land has been kept for a pasture
w over since and never has been ploughed,
>ur and I think I can safely say there is not
?qt another piecoof land in fown that prodund
ces more feed, it has frequently beon
la. plaatored since, and occasionally ashes
be have boon applied as a top-dressing.?
or The manure the cattle have dropped has
qj every year been gathered up and put into
the manure heap, so that it hns no other
dressing but plaster and ashes except the
urtne from the cattle.
Well, being so well pleased with the
*n result of this small experiment I tried it a
. l?rge scale on my farm with as favorable
Cl* results. On mr.oy places three bushels of
)b- poster would make more grass grow than
nd twenty of manure. I fenced off
?se nine acres thai had been fed very close
mt by shpup for;a numbor of years; this was
lu- the highest part where the sliccp bad generally
lain through the nights; this was
[jq piacfioruu at ine rate ot three bushels to
jjj. the acre; the next season it pastured <
n from May to September twelve cows, ?t
prj the rate of three-fourths of an acre to a
tow, and they had as much feed as they
1 e tould eat. and on a great part of it we
n could havo mowed a good crop in hav
wn time.
lu- From this limo.ponplo began to use
plaster; considerably, and found a very
'g? great benefit from it; many of the old pas?sk
turcs which were covered over with moss
ad- were converted into beautiful fields of clohe
ver ; but strange to tell, just on the eve
on. when our pastures began to ho elulhed
l(|). with a beautiful vcrduro and our farms
lvo bid fair to produce double what they wcro
jjie wont to do, there was a story got up by
ion *>m6 R0,,,,?P which spread like wild-fire,
that this plaster which had produced such
wonderful effucts was not what it was
5n" cracked up to bo ; that it would ruin (ho
l'tc land if we continued to use it; if it did
?*p not happen in our day it would in our
ln* children*'; that it would run our land all
cd out and our children would bccomo begicir
gars. Now as this story, liko other bug>at
beard, had hud its day, I find they are beof
ginnlitg very modcrdtely to use it again,
gl I ftepo that no farmer win rest satisfied
on. until fie' has given it a fair trial; the
0 a expense is very trifling ; at present I believo
it can be bought for two dollars per
A ton ; that it won't coat more than twenty^
five cents per bushel, three bushels per
. t acre, which is a grout plenty; that the
*,s expense of manuring an ncre is seventy.
7** five cents, which will pay but a small part
rs/" of tho c.vpcnso of carting on any other
hp* kind of manure if you had it given to you.
fjf? Wherever the plaster will do any good it
du- ought to ho applied ; and tho only wny I
for know of is to try it. On some land it will
iog do no good I am confident. I had a
cut large piece of plain on my farm, on which
are I could not 8oc tho least benefit from it;
.?c this was a deep black loam and rather
*:? moist; as soon as I went from this plain,
iu|il over hills it worked wonders.

lern promi.sej iQ givc you my method of culti.
trim vnting, and the product of my field of
,ny Rata Bagns.
der The piece you snw when at my farm,
ess. contained about three and n half acres,
will and hud lain in pasture a number of years;
art. it was carefully turnod over in tho full of
oh- 1840 ; and in the spring following, crossiblo
ploughed and harrowed, and laid out in
furrows two nnd n half feet apart, and
planted with potatoes. Tho knolls, which
incline more to sand, wcro manured with
hormshnvings and hogs' bristles, one
handful toeucli set. Twelve rows through
tho middio were manured with salt mack,
nu. erel, which were spoiled, half a fish to ev.
[as. ery set. It wus an unfavorablo season
just for potntaes, n severe drought in the sumire,
mer having injured their growth. Tho
ac- rows manured with the salt fish, I noticed,
e it stood tho drought much better than nny
other pnrt of the field ; vines large and of
nin, a dark healthy color, when tlio others
mid wore brown nnd shrivelled, nnd on digging
eat wo lounu inem of a large and even sizo,
iuUI nn^ ?f excellent quality, and the yield fur
tho hettor than any othor part of the field.
|ar8 Last winter, I purchased twenty-six
ure *w? horse loads of tho refuso of a gluo laci
nt t?ry, consisting of limo, bones, wool, hair,
| ,|0 and pioccs of pelt, some of which had lain
[>r J for two or three years. To twenty loads
uch of this I added forty loads of yard manure,
VHy and had it well mixed. In the spring it
, (o was ploughed seven inches deep, and left
i of until the inirldlo of Juno, when tho ma.
rnp mire was hauled on nnd ovenly spread,
!al. which covered all except nbout throethe
quarters of an acre, on which was put six
iind I loads of tho factory refuse, without any I
I vunl .???...? -
,(lii j -- ? .... v. i iiu |>ieco was then
of ploughed and harrowed, thoroughly mixted,
'"K tho anil and manure. It wan then
j of thrown into ridges twenty-seven inches
u . 'i /ijuni'-U' * A ft :J; U ,
apart, lite tame M for tba carrots: tops 1
flattened with the roller, and seed depoat- 1
ted with the drill, (Boment's,) oo the l?th
of Jane. -n ?
On th?t purl of the field where the yard \
manure was applied* the.plants made their <
appearance on the fourth day after sow* i
ing, while on that part where the refuse of I
the glue factory was put* they showed |
very few plants until the tenth dev, and c
then they were sickly in appearance, and f
grew so tardily that tho flea devoured j
them about as fast as they made their appearance.
In fact, we were obliged to (
transplant to fill up vacancies, on the i
whole three-quarters of an acre?showing
most conclusively that the ruta bagas i
require a quick and active manure to give t
thorn an early start to get them nut of >
the way of their greatest enemy* the tur
nip flen or beetle.
On the ldth of July, the cultivator was
ion liplwcnn tlm lU*v?, HIIU IllUJr won)
thinned with the hoe in the umo manner (
as the carrots, leaving the plants from (
eight to (en inches apart in the drills. In ^
August, the cultivator was again run ^
through them, and they were hoed at inter*
vals when convonicnt. Nothing moro "
was done to them until we commencod
pulling in November. The crop meat*
ured 2,355 bushels. I will here remnrk,
that whon the salt fish was used the year
previous, it wns strikingly visible, at some ,
distance ; the tops being of a darker hue,
higher, and more vigorous, and they con- .
tinucd so through the summer, and on (
raising wc found them thicker and longer (
in tho neck and smaller in tho bulb, ?how- (
ing that salt will increase the top at the ,
cxponse of tho bottom. j
The greater jmrt of the crop was stowed
in a cellar?the rcmaindor was put in
heaps, in the field, for feeding my owes j
when they have lambs in tho spring. The (
heaps are made in the following manner, |
which I never know to fail, whon they .
were properly attended to. A trench six
feet wide, of any length required, nnd one
foot deep, is dug in a dry situation, generally
on a knoll ; the roota are thrown '
into litis trench and piled up in the form
of a roof. A coat of straight straw of
from eight to ten inches in thickness, is
put on in such a position as to conduct
the water off, if any should reach it.? |
Earth is now thrown on by digging a
trench around the heap, boginning at the
bottom and going around until the whole
is covered. The earth will press the straw
which prevents its running through to the
roots. A coat of ten or twelve inches in
this climato is sufficient fur our common
winters. The trench will preyqnt the
water from getting into the heap. There
is more danger of getting the eovering too
thick than too thin. I have suffered more
from heat than frost. After the earth is
nut nn. it nhrn.M >? r..11 ? _i ?
( , .. . ?<?? ww vuiviuuy cmppeu I <
down with Iho spado, to make it more i
effectually shod the rains. After a few J
days I taken crowbar and thrust it i?4he i
top ulong the ridge down into tbo heap, i
no matter if it breaks somo of the roota,
and open holos about throe feet opart, to i
let the gas or vapor off*, which is genorn* <
ted by a partial furmontntion. A flat "|
stone, raised a little, on one edge set up i
an inch or two, or a wisp of straw may
he put into the holes to prevent the rnin i
from getting in, which completes the work I
for the winter.
With me the ruta baga is a valuable
crop.?They afford the greatest qunntity
of food, for my stock, from an aero, while
they seem to exhaust tho land loss and
less and leave it in the best possible condition
for a succeeding crop. It is too rich
for oats, but well calculated for barley,
and clover seed always " takes" well,
sown with it. I feed them to my cattle,
sheep, hogs, (boiled,) and occasionally to
my horses. For calves the first winter, ,
they are very valuable, keeping their
uuwvis open anu loose ; (hey will grow I
and thrive without running too much to
fat; their coats smooth and glossy, and
continue to grow through the winter, and
" go 1? grass" in fine condition, by which
they gain at least fix months in their
growth over those wintered in the too
common and ordinary way. Heifers wintered
in the abovo manner will answer to
cotno in at two years old. I have one
no v in my yard that will not be two yoars
old until January next; she had a calf
Inst March, and has been inilkod ever
sinco, and I cannot perceive that her
growth hns beon retarded in consequence, j
and she is now us large as common throe
year olds,
