GRATING AND BUDDING.


Letter from .Abncr Lardnum, Esq. of Edge
field, S. c. to the editor Of the .4meraar
Farmer
made some experiments the proceed
ing year, on summer grating, useful anc
new to me, at least. At that time hat
never read, or heard of this operation
being performed in the summer, except
with twigs cut the preceding winter A.
bout the first Of July, when the growth
of some trees had become stationary,
cut twig of the pear tree, and inserted
it on nursery stock, which readily
grew off. next tried almost every va
ricty Of orchard fruits, which succeeded
perfectly we'll. was Induced to make
this experiment from the nationally of
he theory, it having occurred upon the
slightest reflection, that failures in sTing
grating might originate from the dssi-
patton Of moisture, by the drying Winds
peculiar TO that season, before thesap
of the stock acquires sufficient motiot to
furnish the graft with due nourshmelt
bat from the rapid motion of the sal in
some stocks, with the general moisture
of the air during midsummer, the ogtra-
ton would seldom fail; and the result
fully proved this conclusion we'll fund
ed. 1t next occurred to me thai HE.
walnut, fig, and persimmon, which will
not succeed in the spring except by mere
chance, might now answer on the zane
principle of reasoning, / accordingly
made the experiment and succeeded,
10 make the success Of summer graft
ing certain, take the twigs to be insert
ed, from tree in which the sagis, as
near as possible, stationary and select
a stock, in which the sap has the great
est possible motion.-July is the roper
time for summer grating, and indeed
the most suitable month of the tyelVe
for that operation. However, lie op-
Grafton may be performed with blera-
bic success, during the remaindeEpf the
summer and the fall months.
The information | have snggeEed in
this hasty communication, is of coEder-
able importance to the orchardist as if
will enable him to propagate frits at
any season of the year, whethr in
bloom, bearing, or casting their layes.
In May aud June budding will succeed
well, while grating can be pcrfrmed
successfully, at any time during lie re-
naming part Of the year.-Such trees
should be preferred for summer DID fall
grating, unless otherwise objectioe able,
which continue their growth late n the
season. A plum, whose leaf resembles
that of the cherry plum, brought & this
district by Col. c. Bringthop, b ieve
from New-Y ork, is on this account well
calculated for a stock of plums, Rach,
nectarines, and apriCot7, The wldcrab
should be generally preferred, fot the
apple.

MINERAL SPRINGS.

As the season is now advancing wheu
invalids begin TO wend their way To-
wards these fashionable resorts, we beg
leave TO suggest few observations on
the general utility Of such journies.
The most remarkable cases of relief
supposed 10 have been afforded by nat
ural medicinal waters, have been among
persons who have ira yelled the great.
est distance TO reach theme When We
hear physicians recommending their pa
lients TO SO 10 Saratoga. it reminds US Of
the story Of prudent father, who, on
his death bed, told his son there was nc
immense treasure buried in one of tEe
fields he bad bequeathed to him. The
sons anxiety 10 possess the hidden
mamrnon, can be readily imagined
turned up every inch ofsoil on his pre-
misses, in search Of The wished for prize.
As he grew. both healthy and rich, while
personally cultivating bis land, be fortu.
nately discovered, in his old age, thar.
the fruits Of industry, health, fortune.
and domestic enjoyment, were the pre-.
cious gems his plantations had afforded
him. Thus, too, are the benefits Of
mineral waters, more the result Of the
healthlul exercise Of the journey, and
the enllvening scenes which watering,
places usually present, than Of any spe-
cifc virtues in the springs themselves.
lfpersons in "a delicate state of health
who have no real disease, (ahd we
know there are thousands who are al
ways weakly, and fearful Of oper-dotng
themselves would use The same exer-
tons at home, they are compelled to
submit 10 while jolting in clumsy car
riage on The road to health, our celebrat-
ed springs would soon be destitute OF
votaries, and those pantheons Of fashion
which attract the genius as we'll as tie
beauty Of she United States, would rare
Iy quench the thirst Of any but the tru-
ly infirm, the curious philosopher, or
The wandering pilgrim.
There is something, however, in.
change OF scene, which renders Jour
ney TO Saratoga OF more utility than exer-
else al home but for the virtues ofthe
water IN aiiording'relief to the aihng
they might as well wander over the
rugged Hills of Maine, or visit the Ohio
or 81. Lawrence, as pamper their imag-
mary appe.ites al Lebanon or Saratoga.
1t Is only TO those who are affected with
some chronic or specific disease, the
mineral waters can of themselves at!ord
real benefit
Inactivity and irregularity are the
grand causes of all that sort Of valetndi-
nary feebleness, which has become So.
frequent among those good liyers, who
have not the curb of poverty to check
their nnacconntable desire for medical
advice. There is no doubt Of II a
fact, that people take too much medl-
cine where ten actually die of acute
disease, ten more are doctored to death
at their own solicitation. The same n.
buses which have insensibly crept into
the praciice of physic, in relation 10
chronic maladies, are also taking plare
in regard 10 the administration, Of rhalv-
beate waters. There can lie intemper-
ance in drinking water, as well as wine

horse run two thirds of the weight
of any carriage may be placed on it in

or reins break, the progress of the car

frequently we read of limbs being broh-

horses running away in the absence of
the driver, carriages upsetting through

would those whose lives are in such
danger, give at the moment for the safe
ty drag? And how frequently we hear
of heavy damages beng given against
stage coach proprietors, after such mis-
fortunes. We hope soon TO hear of
their being in general use, as they
are not heavier than common drag,
and the appearance no way against them.

Improved Steam Engne.-We lately
had the pleasure of examining, briefly,
the model of an improved Steam En-
CINE, now completing by two ingenious
artists in Norwalk in this State, which
promises TO add another facility in Steam
Boat navigation, as it combines many
advantages not now possessed by the
engines in common use. One is, the
grea"reduction of room required for its
erection, (the furnace, boiler, and con-
denser, not occupying a greater space
than coPmon rum hogshead; y another
the great saving of fuel, (not more than
one fourth the quantity now used by the
common engines being necessary, to
produce an equal powers and another
and most important of all, its almost en-
tire exclusion from danger by bursting.
1t is ofvery simple construction the
furnace is entirely enclosed by the boil
er, and these by the condenser; the
whole forming an upright body of a
cylindrical form, perhaps of three or, 4
feet in height, and two to two and a
half in diameter, exclusive ofthe geer-
ing necessary for the application of its
propelling force.-The ingenious pro-
prietors have received patent right
for the invention. We understand also,
that this machine has been examined by
scientific men, and pronounced perfect

"I was called in, some years ago, to
the case of a strong man, who had al
ways enjoyed most excellent sight,un-
til short time previous, when he had
become totally blind from the following
incident. One day he happened to be
engaged with party of friends, when
some person entered the room without
his noticing it, who ran famiIiarly to
cover his eyes with his two hands, de-
string him TO guess the PERSONS name,
ne eodeavoured TO disengage himself
irom his hands; but the stronger effort
he made for that purpose, the more
iorcibly did the other press his hands
upon his eyes, and this so long, and with
such deadly effect, that the unfortunate
man, when permitted TO open his eyes,
found himself totally blind, although 70
apparent hart was done 10 the organ"
