pany just as they could agree. It seems to me that by some such arrangement people having but few cows might make just as large and nice cheese as dairymen keeping their twenty or thirty cows. J. D. B.

plowed in-and with 400 lbs. of superphosphate, drilled | pressing in turn or one might do it for the whole comwith the seed. A finer crop we have seldom seen. It would doubtless average 25 tons of bulbs per acre. When we recollect that these lands were a few years ago sterile blowing sands, we shall be convinced that judicious "high farming," can work wonders, and is not unprofitable, with good prices.

BEAUTY AND POULTRY.-We have been favored with the programme of two exhibitions to be held at Gallatin, during the week of the Tennessee State Fair, commencing Oct. 15-one, is to consist of a grand display of Daguerrean portraits of such ladies as will furnish them, from which one is to be selected as "the Tennessee Beauty "-to be enclosed in gold, and sent to Barnum. The other exhibition, is to be a "most unique and extraordinary display of Domestic Fowls, &c., to include specimens of all the rare, fancy, valuable, and superb poultry in the union."

The attention of Nurserymen and Fruit Cultivators, is invited to the "Nursery Stock" advertisement of Mr. THORBURN, who offers for sale the entire stock belonging to the late firm of Wilson, Thorburn & Teller. The sale is rendered necessary by the death of Mr. Wilson, and in order to close the business at an early day, great inducements will be offered to purchasers.

LEDYARD TOWN FAIR-Our enterprising friends in Ledyard, Cayuga County, N. Y., held their Town Fair at Aurora, last week. The attendance was large, and the competition quite spirited. There was no charge for admittance, and beautiful diplomas were awarded as premiums." There were over 175 articles entered and 120 diplomas awarded." W. H. BOGART, Esq. delivered a short but interesting address to at least 300 persons.

RENOVATING OLD MEADOWS.-One word in answer to G. A. H. I have been troubled with such meadows in New York State, and spent time and money to improve them, but found it would not pay, and sold them and moved into Rock county, Wisconsin, where I can raise grass and all kinds of grain cheap and easy. Timothy seed, ashes, leached or unleached, and crossdragging will improve your meadow ten fold in one year-plaster on dry land is best. Magnolia, Wis.

CHEESE FACTORIES.-I read a piece in the Cultivator a few days since, telling how people may make cheese from but few cows. With your leave I will give another method. It is known to many of your readers that there are cheese factories on some parts of the Western Reserve, where the cheese from a large extent of country is made. It seems to me that a similar plan might be adopted in neighborhoods where but few cows are kept, provided all hands would consent to be a little good-natured about it. Let each family run up their milk in the morning, and at a certain hour in the day let the one that is to do the pressing for the time go around and gather the curds and put them together. Each family might do its own

SOAP AND SULPHUR INJURIOUS TO YOUNG TREES For six weeks past, we have been greatly troubled, in this section, with locusts. They have been particularly destructive on young fruit trees; and having, this spring transplanted some into my orchard, of a favorite kind, I was very anxious they should not be injured by them as they were making sad work on some older trees in my orchard, and also in my neighbors'. For this purpose I made a mixture of soft soap and finely pulverized sulphur, and with a brush applied it to the trees, giv-. ing the whole tree, leaves and all, a good coating Judge of my surprise, when, two hours after, on going o the orchard, I found my favorites killed, not by locusts, but by my soft-soaping experiments.

It is quite common here for nurserymen to apply soft soap, in winter and early spring, to their trees to prevent rabbits from peeling them. But it will not do, to apply soap and sulphur, in summer, to the young and tender growth. THOS. P. COOPER. Louisville, Ky., July 5th, 1855.

GRAZING IN TEXAS.-Extract of a letter from a subscriber at Bastrop, Texas :-"I see from a recent No. of the Country Gentleman, that a lot of beef cattle, all the way from Texas, passed throngh your city on their way to New-York. If any beef cattle can be carried so far to market, certainly ours can, for they grow and fatten on our extended prairies, and, aside from branding and marking, a four year old steer costs but little more than a chicken, and nothing like so much as a Shanghai."

NO CATERPILLARS IN MISSOURI.-It may be a fact worth noticing, to state that heretofore, this section of country has been greatly infested with Caterpillars, requiring much attention to free our orchards of them, but this season, there is not the first vestige of one to be found, nor a nest to be seen, even on the wild cherry and plum, heretofore literally covered with them I attribute their disappearance to the unparalleled hot and dry season, last year. Is not that the true cause? C. St. Louis, Mo.

Rockland Co., N. Y. Sept. 6.-The potato harvest is already commenced, and serious fears are entertained of the rot, though there is an abundant yield. Sagacious farmers will hold on to their better kinds and refuse to sell at the low prices at present ruling. Should the rot prove to be so extensive as is at present anticipated, and as malignant, the result will probably approve their discretion. The corn harvest will begin here within a week, and a more abundant crop than will thus be gathered never made glad the heart of the husbandman. The fall plowing is progressing finely and there will probably be a very broadcast. H. A. C. S.

Progress in Maryland.

One might infer from the remarks of some of our agricultural orators and writers, that there was danger of a famine from the rapid deterioration of our farm lands, and we frequently see particular districts pointed out as in a state of almost entire unproductiveness -among these are Dutchess and Columbia counties in this state, and portions of Virginia and Maryland. That there are many farms whose soils are becoming exhausted, in all parts of the country, we do not doubt; but that, as a general thing, our agriculture is becoming less productive, we believe to be a slander upon the intelligence of the age. Take, for instance, the localities we have named, and we believe that it will be found that there has been for fifteen or twenty years a steady increase in the productiveness of the farms We give below an extract of a letter from Maryland, which affords proof of progress in that state, and we should be greatly obliged if some of our readers in Dutchess and Columbia, would inform us whether there has been any improvement in those counties during the last 15 or 20 years. The writer, who dates at Stockton, says:

"I may observe, that the average crop of wheat is about 20 bushels, corn 60 per acre. Ten to twelve years ago, but little or no wheat was grown in the neighborhood. Families who used wheat bread, obtained their flour from Baltimore. Corn was the principal article of food, and that was raised in small quantities. Farms were poor, fences down, houses neglected, and every thing bearing marks of want of

thrift.

"A change has, however, taken place. A number of persons purchased these worn-out lands, built comfortable houses, and commenced a thorough renovation of the soil, and by the aid of bone dust, guano, and other manures, they have a beautiful productive country. Land has increased from $5 to $20 per acre up to the price now asked, of from $50 to $100, the latter with good improvements. There are now two large merchant mills, which are constantly employed in grinding wheat, and most of it obtained from the immediate neighborhood."

"I have aimed in this Work TO MAKE PRACTICE THE MASTER OF THEORY, and have endeavored to arrange the whole subject into divisions which will render every part of it easily understood and easily referred to by every one."-Author's Preface

"The Horse has been a favorite study with me from child. hood, and for twenty years I have been more or less engaged in breeding and rearing them, on my own farm, and breaking and fitting them for market. I also had, during a residence of two years in Europe, the advantage of Studying the Stable Economy of large Military Establishments, and to inform myself by personal inspection on the subject of the Horse in general, and particularly his rearing and stable treatment, and in so doing examined alike the Thorough Bred, the Hunter, the Roadster, the Farin and Dray Horse. A. B. ALLEN."-American Editor.

Of Thorough-Bred Devon Cattle. THE subscriber proposes to sell at auction his entire herd of Thorough-bred, "Herd Book" Devonshire Cattle, on Wednesday the 17th October next, at his Farm, 2 miles from Troy, N. Y., comprising 11 head of Breeding Cows, and about 9 head of Bulls, Heifer and Bull Calves. The originals of this fine herd were selected with great care, through importations from England and purchases in this country; and they have been bred with equal care, and all will admit on examination they are a splendid herd of this popular breed of cattle. Among the herd is the beautiful 3 years old imported Bull "May Boy," bred by John T. Davy, Esq., of South Moulton, Devonshire, England, and Editor of the English Devon Herd Book. This Bull, as will be seeu by his pedigree, is descended from the highest strain of blood that England affords, and for perfection in symmetry, vigor and sprightly action, it will be difficult to find his supe rior. His gel, as will be seen in the herd, will attest his superiority as a stock getter. There is also among the herd Price, Paper, Twenty-Five Cents-Cloth, Fifty Cents.

a beautiful 4 years old heifer and her Bull Calf She was
imported from the celebrated herd of Lord Leicester. A
credit of 12 months will be given for approved paper, on in-
terest. Catalogues of the animals will soon be issued, with
pedigrees and further particulars, and may be procured at
the offices which publish this advertisement, and of the sub-
scriber.
