ON THE GUILTY. ATION OF NADER.
From the ,Ne,o Turk Statesman

As manuta lures progress, many agricultural
products will be brought into demand, which from
The variety OF our soil and climate may as well be
raised IN this country, a. IN any other ard il is
the interest OF our agricuuriss to seize every OBJ
portunity OF cultiyating new products, as soon as
sufficient demand is created to ant the attempt.
Nader has become an article of great consump-
tien, and the demand is daily increasing. That it
can be raised in most parts Of North America, in
The greatest perfection has been tested by expert
encc. Mrs. Madison made report to the Philo
sophical Society of Philadelphia. many years SINCE
of madder raised under her direction and the re
port ives accompanied with sample Of cotton dyed
ON Adrianople red, that has never been exceeded
in color by any European dyer. In Kentucky,
madden is commonly raised in gardens; is dried in
the root, and sent to market for sale. once used
few pounds of those roots, and the color obtained
was equal to that produced from the second quality
Dutch grapp.
D. Ambou,ney informs as that the root. taken
from the ground and washed, will by using four
pounds for one. produce all the effect Of the bes
prepared. This fact is highly important to manu-
acturers as it points out to them easy and cheap
way of supplying the article for their own consump
ton. They need only enclose piece of ground Of
sufficient extent TO plant small quantity at first,
and by transplanting from these every year, they
can, taking them up they want them, obtain the
requisite supply at half the price they now pay.
have selected information relative to the cult
vation Of madden. which request you Messrs.
Editors, TO publish, for the guidance of those who
may wish to make the attempt. Roots will be sup
piled, or information given where they can be OBJ
tained by Vim. Partridge, As, Fulton-street Those
gentlemen who may be DESTROYS of Obtaining roots,
will please give early notice of the intention. In
due time shall give the accessory Information of
the process OF dyeiEg grinding, and putting the

"lt will be necessary to plough the land deeply
for madden. before the winter, into high ridges, in
huence Of the frosts and the atmosphere Early in
the spring these ridges should be we'll narrowed
down BY heavy long tined harrow, and then
ploughed again in the contrary direction to good
depth. And when after this the land is not perfect
ly clean from weeds, or not rendered sufficiently
ine and mellow, another ploughing and narrowing
should be given. In the last operations the ground
should always be left in as level and even state
as possible. 1t is then ready for the reception of
the plants. The sets or plants may then be obtain
cd either by sowing the seeds upon bed of earth
which is rich, and made perfectly fine by digging
and rakng in the spring, and then lightly covering
in from Offsets or suckers from the old plants.
In the FIRST method, on the plants appearing they
should be made perfectly clean by wedding, and to
be set out the distance OF three inches in the beds
by the hoe. In this way, by keeping the ground
quite clean and we'll stirred about the plants, they
will be ready to set out in the second autumn
though it will be mostly better to defer the business
till spring. It requires about thirty thousand plants
for setting an acre OF land. Tho most suitable
