'eniosa- of Lund with t11a Opw Irenl. .to the editor of the Anzericrn Fcaw enr:-Dear Sir,- Your letter'of thO 14th January,- reqnestig, me to give you a statenfeht of experiments upor 4he-subject of the Pea culture, wm 'boeWed. My apology for not reply ing to' - sooner, is, that I was absen frodiono the greater part of th< ihoagr of January, and latterly hav< 6oerlooked the matter. A few dayt since I received yours of the 8tl inst repeating the request and I nov hasto to' gi've yo* he desir'ed infor ifation. To begin I must state that about Three yers- since, I came into posses sion of a poor farm, of about two hun dred and eighty-five acres, costing -eight dollars per acre; the greatet part of the soil is composed of wha iW usually culled slate landj and of o thin quality. Also, one hundred and ten acres of it had been in cuitivatiou and was in a worn-out condition. a the time of purchase. Being anxiou 6o rnmprove th' placef I conmenecl eleaning up the old fields, and in the early part of October, 1847, 1 hia twelve acres sowed in wheat, upor which about two hundred poutinds o Peruvian Guano was sown to the aer< and shoveled in with the wheat;- th< following spring I had leached atshe; and plaster mixed in equal proportion, and one bushel sown to the acre: the crop matured Mell, but made oil one hundred and thirty nine bushelf of clean wieat. If the wheat hat been sown' earlier and the weathe had4ot been so dry and unfavorablc in 016 spring, I have no doubt th< crop would have been better. I mie ;ith a Prince George's farmer, an< wring a conversation upon the sub ject of improving lands, he recommen ded to me the broadcast culture of' th< cow pea, with a view to plow then under in a green state. i1e hat seen the crop grown in the South where tney arc used by the planter: to renovate their exhausted cottoi fields. I immediately determined t< .* try them, and procured two barrel of seed from the South. I had a fieh of five acres which was tlhinly set ir clover, and waited until the first weel in June, in order to have the firsi crop of clover to turn under, whici was very thin. On the 10th June, I had the peas sown broadcast on th< ground, as the plow had left it, anda - roller passed over, to press them in this was all that was done. They oppe up in a short time, but did no unfl the I .er part of August sgaeem o take fresh start rtimi~wan Te ce viA it hie' most luxuriant gr'owth .t v'ines'I ever saw, About the 20tl of'8eptember, they were in full bloonr with lateral branches running in e ve ry direction anid over two feet high. I then started a two horse plow t< turn them under. TIhis was a diflicubi job, and the plow man had to keep r harrow in the field to drag the viner downi; it was rather tedious, but wa: well done. Knowing that the quanii ty of vegetablo matter that would b( turned under. would gire to the soil a vast deal of food for plants, yet th< value of the pea vine being uniknowr * ~to me fronm analysis, I prestlumed thai there would still be a deficiency 0o some of the plroperties essential to th< growth and maturation of' wheat. ] therefore concluded to make a comn bination of' guano with the vine, anm consequently had, as near as I couh get at it, 0one hunudred anti ten ponmd: to the acre, of Peruvian guano sower upon the vine, before it was turner undIer, I iffust now state, that previous t< turning under thme pea~ vine, I liar one acre add~edl to the field. T1hi: acre was heavily mani'ed with hart yard manure, and the guano sowet over it and thme v'ines alike. Th'e wheat (Zimmmnerman,) on the 27thi o September, barr'owed in and rolled In March 1 had about one bushel t< the acre, of ashes and plaster mixer half' andl half', sowed over the fiel'l The wheat looked beautifully in th< spring, anti attracted a great deal o notice. Now for the result. T1hi six acres yielded one hundred ant thirty four' bushels of prime whea besides about three bushels of seet nlings, &c; I sent about eighty bushel to Georgetown for seed, wvhichi aver ag'ed sixty seven pounds to the busha e.I weighed a half' bushel here accurately, and it made full 3. - pounds. I must observe here, tha on one side of the field, there wa timber land which shaded the groun * a good deal and in the field thlere wa a gully about 40 yards long and wide. Moreover the whteat was injurer sotmo by the fly' (the Zimnmermna variety, Qfn most farms did not mamk more tihan half crop,) atnd the seasoi was unfavorable for thme under growtl to get up' particularly on slate landl When tho crop was cut it was pei copttble to all, that the wheat, whet the peas grew, was far superior t that on tihe manured acre;--it wa ap)parently better headed, taller itn th straw, and gr'owth more hoxuriant; indeed, at this time, the stubble wil - 7convinco any oneo, that there muns lave booe. considerable differenei in favor of1 the five acres. You wvil perceive from all this, that no correc idea pf the real value of the pea cat l formed. Yet from a comparison of the product of te five acres, with the(tl'tp from the twelve acres the I year previous; and the apparent su periot ity of the live acres, over the manured amte, I ain satiefied that it is the best green manure in the world: they will. grow on. the thinnest land, where it would bo difficult to got a crop of clover to grow, and I am con vinced that they are more fertilizing than clover. Stafford Hall, Wazsigt(on Co., Mld., Fe&ruary 13th, 1850. Wy are Ashes more Valuable thatin Line or Gypsuu as Fer tilizers ? Our nei-ghbors of Long Islan& have become famous for their trade in ashes. They send their boats the entire length of the Mohawk Velley, and they would push their entty'rise as far a3 the Black River lley, if the Iflack River Valley tanal was complete; and they could well afford to transport not merely the live ash, but the refuse ash, which has been exhausted for its potash, Tley have been in the habit of buy ing the refuse of the asheries of Al bany and Troy, and paying as much for it as the soap-naker paid origin ally for the live ash. In looking about for ia fertilizer, the Long Is handers have found by experience, that they forn the best which they cal employ. The (Iestion which we have propounded demands an answer; we therefore proceed to state, that ashes, owe their value to their composition. Our reader will, per haps, say that he knew this before. Very well. We say again, and more to the point, that ashes, spent and unspeut, owe their principal value to the potash in the first instace, and to the phosphates. and to lime and man nesia, in the second. We design to speak mainly of spent ashes; though we believe armers had much better keep all their ashes for their corn and wheat lands. rather than sell them for one shilling per bushel. Spent ashes, then, we repeat, are valuable for the phosphates they con tain, together with the lime and mag nesia, which are in a state of great subdivision. BIesides the foregoing elements, silex, both soluble and inso luble, is present.--The amount of the former will vary in the qIuantity, by the intensity of beat to which the vegetable may have been subjected; and both will vary according to the plant from i hich they ejay have been obtained.

Tfhe ash of the fosrest, as well as fr-uit-tr-ees, is as various as their own products; acarcely two agreeing either in the amount of ash they yield, or in the elements which compose it .--J -arm er 4 MeI(chanie. LC:I(let Ail( 13t4 a iln31ttr'?. T1hte value of leached ashes on dIry soils. and in dry seasons, as a ma nmure for- grain andI grass lands, has been conclusively shtown, in this and other counties, by carefully con dlucted exper-iments. Yet, as it seemsg useful anid necessary to 'keep biefojre the plel' such facts as are not fully understood and considered, we give some obsiervations drawnI fr-om ex per1iimnts hertetofor'e publish ed , for- fear that this sub j-ct, in thce huriry of the season, might other-wise bet neg 'lected and it-gotten. The Germant agr-icutltutrist, Albert, of Ro'szhan, gives a cir-cumistanitial accont of' an exper'imen i tcomnnencedl inm 18~27, and cotinued for five year-s. A dry, sandy soil, whmichl had lain ini grass fo'r eight yearrs, was dressed with leachted ashes, at the rate of sixty-six hushels pet' aere. The sd was carefully tur-ned under-, thien thme ashe.5ns aled on and spre-Lad , atnd covet-ed with a plow about two incehes deepC~ ; remIainmin ini thIis condition six or-seven weeks it was again plowed thrtee iniches deep, so as to birinig upl the ashes, and sowed in buzck-w heat. -A prtion of the fiel, to which no ashes werc applied, was treated in - the same muatnner, so that the diffe - enee tmight be noticed. The cost of thme aplication was $G.25 per acre. Thle increased pro dcofthfir-st year wsat terate of' five and a half bushels of' buck wheat, with fonur hmundried and seven. ty lbs. of sti aw, estimated at $1.05J. The increased product of thte second yeas-, whmen sown with rye, was six busheols per act-c, wit h six hundr-ed p~oundst of str-aw, est imted~u at $5T. 25. The incr-eased pr-oduict of' the thmird year-, wheni in oats, was ten and a . half bushels, with five hunidried and - fifty pound~s of' str-aw. estimated at $8.m 12 1 2. The fourth year, the increcased p rodut, whIen in pt astutrage. was estiunatedl at $3 per' aere. The fi ft h yearP it was again sowni in r-ye, m ad tihe increasned iol oct was four and a halfI bushels, w itht fonur hundre-d and seventy pountds of' str-aw, estimia ted at $4.00; per aere. The value Iof the increased product is $20; and ehave ito reason to suppose their ifects were exhausted when the cx. erimenttere concluded. The es imates were, made by Mr. Wagner, he translator, fromr tho prices paid at he time in this country, as also was he cost of the asheasand labor, Unleached ashes- produce a more powerful effect, and hence a less juantity is reqiired. In the Alba ay Cultivator for 1842, the result >f an experiment is given, o. an old meadow,. mowed nearly half a centu ry-of cliy soil, stocked with all kinds of grass, where strong ashes were ap lio at:the rate of thirty nc b0,, oer cre, producing an increse roduct of nearly one rourth of a ton, while the same quan tity of air-slaked ime produced no Leneficial restrlt; a'nd thirty-two bush Als of clear, dry oow-ung increased tho product only one hundred and ou poundst and the same quantity )f h.se manare but sixteen pounds, per acre. In the first of these experiments, ,oirr thousand four hundred and wenty-two pounds of leaehed ashes were applied, producing, in five years, an increase of four thousand three hundred and forty-one pounda )f grain and straw, besides pasturage quivalent to at least a ton of hay. In the second, about one ton of ashes increased the product, in one year, me fourth that ainount of hay; and ind in favorable seasons, we cannot doubt but that its effect would con .inue at the same rate for four years onger.-So the action of ashes must )e chemical in its nature, giving a apacitv to appropriate other fortili r.crs, which it does perhaps, by i artinr to the soil its potash, which lissolves the sil'ca or flint of the soil, producing silicate of potash, which, iccording to Liebig, is required by ill plants of the grass kind, in large jnantities. On wet ground, it shoild be borne n mind that ashes produce no effect; ind in wet seasons, the benefit is nuch less than in dry.-Rural New YoQrker.PJA T J SETTIr oUT CAIRAGF PL.A:S.-If you hove caibnige plants of size fit to be rainsplanted, seize the first occasion of i rain to have them set out.

Townesrno's Sarsaparilla is a sovereign and speedy cure for Incipient Consumption, Barren ness, Prolapus Uteri, or Faling of ths Womb. Cos tiveness, Plies, Leucorrhees, or Whites, obstructed or difficult lonstruition, Incontinence of Urine, or involuentary discharge thereof, and for the general prostration of the system-no matter whether the result of inherent cause or causes, produced by ir regularity, illness or accideut. Nothing can be more surprising than its invigorating offiets on the humar frame. Persons all weakness and lassitude, from taking it, at onco become robust and full of energy under its influence. It immediately counteracts the nervelessness of the female frame. which is the great cause of Barrenness. It will not be expected of us., in cases of so delicate a nature, to exhibit cer lIficatee of cures perfowrned, but we can assure the aliticted, that hundreds of cases have been reported to us. Thousands of cases where families have boen without children. after using a few bottles of this invaluable Medicine, have been blessed with Ane healthy offspring. Great lessing to Mothers an4tldrent. It is the safest and most effectual rdl Ine for purifying the system, and relieving the sufferings attendant upon childbirth ever discovered. it strengthens both the mother and the child, prevents pain and disease, increases and enriches the food; those who have used it, think it Is indispensable. It is highly useful both before and after confnement, as it prevents dliases attendant upon child-krth in Costiseness, Files, Cramps, Swelling of.the Feet, Des ndency, Heartburn, Vomiting.
