1t is with great pleasure, that we give
publicity TO the foregoing communication.
In that portion Of country whence 1t comes,
the least possible attention seems to have
been paid to manurlng. Our correspon-
dent, D., shows, very concluslyely, that
this should not be the case. tie clearly
points out the various sources, from which
the planter, in Barnwcll, might procure
himself manurcs Of the very best kind and
we hope, that due attention will be paid to
the ubjec,, by them. In travelling through
that district, about two years since, wemet
with very superior field of corn, upon the
road. Upon inquiring ofthe proprietor Of
the same, why it was so much better than
all the rest, he observed, that he had ma.
nured it as "brag- g-feld," and, at the same
time, observed to us, that he expected to
make from that field, more than any other
two on his plantation. This was con.
cession sufficient for us. We urged upon
our friend to manure more the next year,
and to plant less. He did so; and he is
now at our elbow, and states the following
as the result Of our advice:
l. He attended the field with less expense
of time and labor.
.. His corn, from having greater nour-
! ishment to sustain it, stood the reverses OF
the season better.
3. He made larger crop, than when he
planted twice as much corn.
VIII our planters consider these facts
/ lfthcy do, they will learn, for once in their
! lives, that there is such thing as deriving
some benefit from " Book farming"

A good daughter ?-there are other MN

There is little which he needs to covet, to
whom the treasure of a good child has been
given. But a sons occupations and pleas

more among temptations, which hardly per-
NIT the affection, that is following him per-

THE MULBERRY CULTURE IN n.
JERSY

Duringa Temporary visit to Burlington,
New Jcrsy, last week, we were pleased to
learn that several individuals and companies,
in that vicinity, were either engaged, or
about to ansase.in the culture Of the -npl-
berry with a view OF entering extensively
into the silk business. Gen. q. ID. WALL,
ono of the U. S. Senators from that state,
with public spirit, and patriotic zeal, wor-
thy of the distinguished station he holds,
has commenced the transportation of the
Morus MuhlcauHs on his estate near Bur-
lington, and from his we'll known character
for perseverance, in the pursuit of laudable
ends, there cannot be doubt that success
awaits his generous effort TO give an
impetus TO this new branch Of agricultural
industry. His Mulberry orchard, we learn,
will be under the management of Mr..
Chauncy Stone, and was planted under the
Joint superintendence Of that gentleman and
Mr.. Cav. The latter Of these individuals
is the inventor of an excellent Silk ReeL
and is advantageously known to the east
ward in this particular branch of business.
Mr.. Stone is also from the cast, and doubt
less has an experience that will prove
eminently profitable to him in his present
location.
There is another establishment on an
extensive scale, situated about two miles
from Burlington, on the Jeresy SIDE of Della.
ware, owned by the Messrs. Cheney
These gentlemen are also from the east
and are intimately acquainted with the cuI.
ture in all its details. We had intended to
visit their establishment, but circumstances
intervencd TO prevent it, which we
regret the more, as we are confident, from
the experience and intelligence Of the
Alessrs. Cheney, that we should have found
much to admire, and gained no little knowl-
edge from an interview with practical men
of their attanments.
O;her individuals ofwealth and enterprise
in the neighborhood of Burlington, taking
courage from the examples around them'
will, we understand. embark in the business
the next scason.-Farmer and Gardener.

PROPER FORM AND SHAPE OF
CATTLE.

TFRoM EHE LIBRARY OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE
Whatever be the breed, there are cer-
tain conlorplations which are indispensable
to the thriving and value of the OK and
COW. When we have clear idea OF these.
we shall be able more clearly to form an
curatejudgcmcnt of,he breeds the differ
cntcountrcs ashley pass before US. If there
is one part ortkc frame, the form Of which,,
more than any of the other, renders the
animal valuable, it is the chest. There
must be room enough for the heart to beat,
and the lungs, to play, or sufficient blood
for rtl,eipmposes ofnutrimcnt and Of strength
will not be circulated: nor will it thorough.
" undergo that vital change which is es-
scntial TO the proper discharge Of every
function. We look, therefore, first Of all
to the wide and deep girlh about the heart
and lungs. We must have both : the pro-
portion in which the one or the orher may
prcponderatc. Will depend upon the service
we require for the animal we can excuse
slight degree Of tlatness Of the sides, for
he will be lighter in the forehead and more
active; but the grazer must have width as
well as depth. And not only about the
heart and legs, but over the whole ribs,
I must we have length and roundneSS the
hooped, as well as the deep barrel IS essen.

from which the blood is to be provided.
The beast should also be ribbed home ;
there should be little space between the
ribs and the hips. This seems to be nd's.
tensable to the OK, as it regards good
healthy constitution, and a propensity to tat.
ten; but largeness or dropping OF the
belly is excusable in the COW, or rather,
Notwithstanding it diminishes the beauty OF
the animal, it leaves room for the ud'
der; and if it is also accompaniedby swell.
ling milk veins, it generally indicates her
value for dairy.
! Theroundless & depth ofthe barrel, how
ever, is most advantageous nproportlon as 1t
81 found below the point of the elbow, more
than between the shoulders and the legs !;
or low down between the legs, rather than
upwards towards the withers, for it dlmln.
ishes the heaviness before, and the com.
parative bulk Of the coarse parts of the an.
imal, which is always a very great eonsld-
era;ion.
The loins should be wide; of ,bisathere
can be no doubt, for they are the prime
parts; they should seem to extend far from
the back; and although the belly should
not hang down the nanks, should be round
and deep. Of the hips, it is superhuous to
say, that without being ragged, they should
be large; round, rather than wide and pre-.
senting, when handled, plenty of muscle
end fat. The thighs should be round and
iosn, close together when viewed from be-
hind, and the farilt...cr down they continue
to be so the better. The legs short, vary
ing like other parts, according to the deStl-
nation of the animal; and decidedly shot,
for there is an almost inseperabe connec.
ton between length of leg and lightness of
carcase, and shortness of leg and propcn-
sity to fatten. The bones of the legs, and
they only being taken as a sample of the
bony structure Of the frame generally,
should be small, but not too small-small
enough for the well known accomplishment
"A propensity to fatten-small enough to
please the consumer; but not so small as
to indicate delicacy Of constitution, and Ii.
ability to disease.
Last of all, the hide-the most important
thing Of aR-thin, but not so thin as to in
dicate that the animal can endure no hard.
ships; movable. mellow, but not too loose,
and particularly we'll covered with fine soft
hair.

have tried the difference between dried
and fresh COW dung, under corn. The
former had no effect; while the latter fore.
ed the corn very much. Cow-pcns should
be covered, and the cattle turned in every
night. However,, after all, the most pro.
titabc plan is TO stable.tccd mich COWS and
oxen; in this district, where sc are COM
PEELED to feed cattle, one half of the year,
they should be fed with boiled cotton seed.
Tha, cotton seed, for corn, is superior to
any manure we use, cannot be doubted
but, at the same time, when he improve
mcnt of cattle is considered, the increase
ofthcir milk and butter, their protection
from thieves, and the undoubted fact, that
they can be made to produce, IN SIX months,
four times more efficient manure than the
co.,on.sced they consume, do not hcs-
tate TO contend, that, the better policy would
DC, to stable.fced them on boiled cotton
seed, for six months in the year, or during
the win;es,season. Anycew can be taugh:
to eat cotton seed, by adding little salt.
A stall filled with leaves can be emptied
every two months. The cow drops more
ti;an the horse, and it tramples more effect
usIIv-its hooGs being sharp and wide.
Another consideration is this : with COW.
pcn manure thus m2de, land is enriched
every time it is planted, ana N this respect
it is more valuable than cottoi. seed. In
short, to use cow.pen manure, rakeu rom
an uncovered pen, except from the undc-
composed vegetable matter in it, is always
a useless task. In nine cases out of ten,
it will fire the corn, even in n moderately
wet season. On the contrary, stable ma
nurc never will; nor does any well termcnt.
ed manure ever fire the plant. A gentle.
man in my parts has advanced one step
to ards this improvement. When the
mass, in his unrooted pen, has been suffi-
ciently trampled, he covers it with clay, and
on this places another layer of leaves, and
so on, alternating, rntiI he has made the
quantity of manure he requires. But even
this gentleman is now engaged building a
sable for his cows. IIe says, by expert.
ment. three bushels of cotton seed per
week, will latten COW, and 2 l.2 bushels,
with shucks, are enough. so bushels of
seed, from two bales Of short cotton, would
enable him to stall feed his cattle during the
win;er-.hc season when manure is made,
and when cattle suffer most for range. So
that, after deducting seed for planting from
every 80 bushels of cotton seed, he calcu-
lates 10 stall.fcel one COW. He further
SAYS, that he will not be able to sail feed
all his cattle, bat all those not supplied will
be turned nightly into an open pen, filled
with leaves, with which he vii! rcplenlsn the
stalls whenever they r,cy heo--r.i-d 4.
