NEW REAPING MAcHINE--aREAT SAVING.
On the 9TH Of July the farmers of this
neighborhood enjoyed the pleasure ofseeing
the reaping Machine, invented by Mr.. O. Hus.
sey, o: Baltimore, operate upon field Of
wheat. Mr.. Hussey had been invited to
exhibit his machine balore the "Society of
St. Georges and Appoquinimk for the the
Promotion Of ofAgricul,ure," and the 4th Of
July was named as the day, and true to his
appointment, Mr.. Hussey and his reaper
made their appearance. Hundreds offarm.
ers were assembled to witness il, and many
were the doubts, surmises, criticisms upon
the machine as it was viewed over and over
as it lay in readiness for trial. Some time
after Mr.. Hussey's arrival, the society was
called TO order, and the declaration ofinde.
pendencc was read, while the greatest order
and attention prevailed; after which the
society adjourned to the dinner-table and
ar.ook Of an excellent dinner, prepared for
the occasion. These interesting preliuni-
naries eiDg despatched, and aHthings!being
in order, the two strangers (Mr. Hssey and
his machine) we're duly iniroducedto field
Of Standing grain, ripe aud ready for the
sickle, and in The twinklng Of al, eye tho
machine was of, clipping and cutting, and
saving the grain in beautiful style. A clean.
er and more even stuble could no be pro-
duced. All doubts vanished in the minds
Of the spectators. Every head Of wheat
was saved, and the machine was drawn with
apparent ease by two horses, and cutting at
the rate of from twelve to fifteen acres in a
day. The machine was forthwith purch-
ased by the society, and reserved for future
trial, which has since confirmed them in the
good opinion they had Of his capabilities
All who have Witnessed it express themselves
satisfied, and many are intending 10 provide
themselves with machines for the next har-
vest. Thus, through the influence ani OK.
ertions Of the agricultural society, We may
expect next year,o see this valuable labor
saving and grain saving machine fairly in
troducedsa among our farmers. i, is diff.
cult matter TO describe the machine so as
to convey proper idea OF its structure;
hope, however, that many will be induced
TO SEQ for themselves, and they may rely
upon having all reasonable expectations re-
allied:

SWINE IN FRUIT ORCHARD.

Mr.. Philips, in lelIer published in the
Memoirs Of the Pennsylvania Agricultural
Soclety, thus speaks of The beneficial results
of allowing swine TO run about among fruit
trees:
For several years past my family have
been supplied with the finest plums by a
neighbor who is The only person ! know OF
who has had uniform success with them
Inst year while his Trees were in full bearing
carefully examined them particularly as
respected their culture and local situation,
and | found that no uncommon pains; had
been taken with them, on the contrary they
appeared neglected as numerous dead and
broken limbs hung about them, and that the
very great succe be had, could not be at.

place where the hogs lay and were fed. He

late very few insects had appeared about the
trees"
We can bear testimony to the efficacy
ofswine in fruit orchards, in destoying the
carculio, or the insect that so much iniures
the plum and the cherry. We have two
cherry trees slanoing where pigs lie, and are
fed, and though not as favorably situated as
many others on our premises, ,in other res
poets, they uniformly produce the fnest
cherries grown on our trees. After the
cherries begin TO ripen there are . iewfours
in day in which the trees are not visited
by The pigs and every worm, stone, and
cherry one at once disposed of. On ourother
trees, the curculio does much mischiefan-
nually, on these the fruit is nearly exempt,
and IS decidedly larssssnd faiees shans On
those TO which the swine have no access

fact should not be forgotten; and the pigs

PROPAGATION OF THE GRAPE.

PROPAGATION OF IHE GRAPE.
Hon. J. BUEL-Dcar Sir--I sent you q
dissertation on trees, and omitted TO soy
something on grape vines, as intended.
In iransplan,ing grape vines with roots.
l have found i, difficult to save them. They
have many very fine roots, and ifthey are
not pat up in wet moss, or some other wet
preservatiye, they soon perish.
There is no difficulty in raising grape
vines from good slips, much less than with
roots. Cut the slips in autumn, after the
leaves have fallen, and the vine has hiber.
mated for the winter. Choose round and
sound wood, well r,pened and firm, {no fla,
wood the buds full and plump, the joints
short between the buds. Suckers from
the root Of The vine, with long joints, are
worthless.) Cut the upper end off within
half an inch of the bud-put them in the
ground sloping, the lower end deep, to have
moisture. The upper bud should be cover.
ed half an inch under the ground, to break
of the sun, and they are as easy raised as
currant slips. l'havo set many slips With

are planted in sunny places, they should be

acceptable to grape vines ofany age. II
not put out in the autumn, then cover the
slips with wet ground or mulch, and set
them in the spring. If put up in damp moss
or other matter, 10 prevent the slips from

formsin one bunch. Sometimes, one, two,
or three long limbs put out near the ground,
turn upwards, and grow parallel to the main
stem, bearing fruit as it does.
The other variety. or Iuin Cotton, is
said to have been discovered in Chester
District. It's somewhat like the Alabama
Okra, without being the same. tits about

There is also clearly defined difference
in the seed. The Okra seed is white
the Chester Tvis a darker, green, and
more naked seed. No person who has

two kinds of seed, will ever mistake the one
for the other.
