THE NAVY YARD.

The Navy Yard of the city Of Washing.
ton was organized and established under
an act of Congress, approved 9Th March,
1904, during the administration of Thomas
Jefferson, with whom it was favorite oh.
ject of patronage. 1t contains within its
limits about % acres, and is enclosed on
three sides by high and strong BRICK wall;
the other side fronts on the Eastern Branch,
or Anacostia river. lis entrance is by an
arched gateway on the north, designed by
the late Benz. H. Larobe. Inside Of the
ward are contained all the necessary build.
ings, machinery, and other apparatus for
constructing vessels of every description,
erected agreeably to the most approved
principles and modern improvements, with
suitable buildings for accommodating the
officers. 1t includes an armory, rigging
loft, a laboratory for preparing ordnance
stores, an iron foundry, brass and compo-
sion foundry, chain.cable and camboose
shop, an anchor shop, smithery and plumb
er's shop, blockmaker's shop, a saw.mill,
and s.eam-engine Of fourteen horse power
to drive the various machinery, two timber
sheds, on arched columns, joiner's shop
and mould lof, two ship-houscs, with ways,
&C., for building and launching vessels of
any size. There is also in the yard fresh
water dock, for seasoning timber, &c.
There were built at this Yard the ships Of
war Wasp and Argus, the brig Viper, the
figate Essex, the Columbus, Of "A guns,
the frigates Potomac and Brandywine, each
of44 guns, the s:hooners Shark and Gram.
pus, the sloop of war St. Louis, of "a guns,
and the friga:e Columbia, Of A guns.
The Navy Yard of this place can. in the
great extent and completeness of its ar.
rangements, vie with any establishment OF
the kind in the United States for the con.
struc:ion and repair Of vessels, for its an.
chors, chain.cablcs, cambooses, water-sanks'
blocks. &c. In many respects, it surpas.
ses almost every other Yard in the Union.
Whv, then, is this Yard suffered TO fall mo
decay. for want Of national encouragement,
and suffer so many honest, ingenious, anil
industrious mechanics to be reduced to beg
oarv and want, because the Government
has failed to fulfil the just expectations OF
those who have vested their little all in hou'
scs and lots to meet the wants OF those EN-
ployed on the public works?
There is no place in the Union better
suited for NAVAL SCHOOL, than the Navy
Yard located in this city-a school OF the
utmost importance to the country; and a
S,v,L HOSPITAL, where the brave, gene.
rous. but though.less tar may find home
and shelter in the winter of age.
It is very probable that it will not be long
ora the whole system of naval warfare will
be- changed. The ingenious Mr.. R. L. Ste'
vens, Of Hobokeu. has lnven:ed shot whlch

AiGRIcULTURAL.


Some persons without understanding the
natural history Of the plant, at the last
dressing. pull off the suckers, which is
ruin to the crops, as they are absolutely
necessary, not only to filling out the ends
Of the most of the first ears, but to filing
out the late ears in some degree.
The time in which the male blossom
on the main stalk remains in vigor is not
more than six days, when the season is
good: but if the weather is hot and drv.
or is very stormy, it is not so long. And
this length is onl y enough to fructify the
earliest ears in which the female blossom
comes out first from the germ of the low.
est grains, and present themselves in cir
cles at the end OF the coIolIa or husks
and as they come out, are impregna,ed.
and thus they are every day and every
hour presenting new circles of female
blossoms, until the whole are thus inprep-
mated. But if the heat is so excessive as
to kill the male blossom before the whole
of the female blossom has come out of the
corolIa or husk, then if there are no suck
ers to supply the deficiency of pollen,
there will be portion of the upper end of
the ear that will be barren of grain. TO
supply this deficiency of pollen, Provi-
dence, in organizing the corn plant has
ordered that the three lower Joints should
produce suckers that should come up in
succession, to supply a continual source
OF the tructifying principle to the whole
succession Of ears that may come out for
the space ofat least three weeks after that
on the stalk has been exhausted. And on
this succession of male blossoms, the
greatness Of the crop depends. And the
land should be so rich as 10 force out at
least two suckers on every stalk, or no
very great crop should be expected. But
II the land is so rich as to produce these,
then instead of having the usual crop Of
about IS bushels to the acrs, the careful
farmer may expect from 80 to 100 bush
els with very little extraordinary expense,
and this land will be prepared for other
crops. You will please to indulge me
further to observe on the culture Of corn,
that to manure poor land in the hill is bad
cultivation, although it is true that by this
mode, the early growth ofthe corn is pro-
NOTED; but the moment the roots of the
plants extend beyond the manure, the
growth of the crop is checked, at the most
critical season when the suckers and ears
are setting, by which it often happens that
The stalk still runs up, and the male BIOS
som comes out and is spent before the fe-
male blossom appears at all. But if the
shove: full ofmanure that has been put in
each hill, had been incorporated with the
soil, the early growth of the crop would
not have been so rapid, but then the
growth would have been equal in all parts
of the plant, and crop would have been
received in proportion to The goodness of
the soil and preparation, and the attend
ance given it. -Germantopn Tel.
