MoRUS MULTIcAULIS.

Many inquiries have been addressed to
US, as Editor Of the Journal Of the Ameil'
can Silk Society, in regard to the present
asking, and probable selling price OF the
mulberry tree next autumn. 1t is exactly
that sort of question which we cannot under
take 10 answer. for the best OF all reasons
there is no basis 10 60 upon; IT'S all a
lottery. Take one view and We should
think they might no. exceed IS cents-then
regard the matter in another. and to all aP-
pearance equally well grounded point OF
view, and there seems to be no reason why
they should not be at least as high as they
have been the season jus. passed. Will
any one supply US with some facts 10 60
upon? There can be no doubt that the
public, and especially those who have an
interest in keeping up the value OF trees,
have been quite sensible Ct the importance
OF making silk. The experiments, if all
that have been made and are making. in
that way, could be collected in one view.

TILLING THE EARTH.

In tilling the earth, some people go upon
the same principle that regulates their busl.
ness intercourse with men. They must
be sure to get the advantage of the trade !;
and if this cannot be secured without, they
must cheat and deceive the person with
whom they deal. And they may think to
practice the same artlfce upon old mother
Earth. You will see them on their grounds
in the spring as sly as dogs, apparently
calculating that Earth has forgotten the ex-
hausling crops that were taken from her the
last year--perhaps they will give assprlnk
ling ofmanure, and throw it on so as to
make the Earth think there is noble lot
of it. Well, they 60 to work.--But the
Earth won't be cheated. She will reward
every man according to his works, and tell
the truthin the autumn. You cannot get the
advantage of her. as you can with human
customers. Treat her we'll, and she will
reward your expenditures and toll but at.
tempt to cheat her, and she will make you
sorry for it when harvest comcs.-Far.

Twas induced on Wednesday last, to pay
a visit o the Hampton Race Course, to see
the operation Of machine invented by Mr..
Gay, for reeling silk from the cocoons
and twisting it for sewing, and warp and fiji:
ling for all the varieties of manufactured
goods, and was surprised and gratl6ed TO
find so many persons, especially Ladies
present, in spite Of the heat Of the day.
The machinery seemed to give universal
satisfaction for my own part, l was much
astonished at the rap'dity and correctness OF
the work, having always understood it to be
aslow and difficult process, but found TO my
qualification that the manufacture ofsllk by
Mr.. Gays machine is much more simple

manner OF reeling on spools from the cocoon
is decided improvement on the old prlnci.
pie of reeling in skeins. for by the Peld-

EARTHS AND SOILS.

In the investigation of agricultural sub.
jec,s, it is necessary that we should as cor.
rectly as possible, distinguish earths and
soils, and their varieties. The earths I'M
portant to agriculture, and which form near
ly the whole surface Of the globe, capable
of producing vegetation, are only four. viz:
silicious, aluminous, calcareous, and mag
nesian.
AS full description OF all the distinctive
characters of these earths could not be EN-.
braced within the compass Of my contem.
plated communication, shall merely men {.
ton few, by which may be understood the
effects they necessarily produce in forming
a compound best calculated to promote ve-
getation.
Siicious earth exis.s in the state Of sand.
I, is composed ofvery hard particles, which
cannot be made coheren, by mixing with
water. The soldity of particles Of sand
renders them impenetraoe to water, and
their loose arrangement make sand incapa'
bic of retaining water. Ii is also quickly
heated by the sun, which adds 70 the :sp'eity
wi.h which it loses mcis'u-e.

In addition to those we have mentioned,
there are great many others who have
fed and are feeding smaller quantities Of
worms. from one to forty thousand. The
experience ofal those who operate upon
large or small scale is universally the
same, (vlz) that silk is easily, and cheaply
produced, with but litlo trouble and in
abundant quantities.

MILKING.

In the morning the cows should be driven
gently two or three times round the yard
before milking; they will yield more for the
exercise. We have seldom hired good
mixer. Females are better than men,
they have more patience. A good mixer
will obtain al least one quarter more cream
than one ,ha, milks slowly. We have often
proved this we hired one summer man
from New Hampshire who had managed .
farm several years. He was clever but e.
lremely moderate we then had four coes-
in milk. and discovered that our SLOW mixer
was fast drying up our cows we concla.
ded to give HIM our aid and lot him milk
only two; on the first trial he oblaiaed the
same quantity that we did. In one week
We obtained one quar-. more than he at q
milking; he said his cows were not equal
to ours we then shifted, and obtained.
within nine days, more milk from his cows
than he did from ours. This was wholly

he left none in the uddsr.-Bosion Cnl1.

since, he had carted on to a lot of small ex.
tent considerable quantity of clay. which
was spread over the surface to the depth of
three or four inches. This was left until
dry, when it was rolled ; the lot was then
planted with potatoes, which yielded great
crop. The succeeding year the lot vas
ploughed, and seeded down with hemp the
crop that followed was the heaviest raised
in this county that year. In the fall ofthe
same year, the lot was again ploughed, and
seeded down with wheat, Of which it pro-
duced an extraordinary crop. This wheat
crop brought the highest premium in this
commonwealth. The land has been liber-
ally manured. and has since yielded great
crops of hay. In this case there b been
evidently q great Improvement Of the soil,
and similar treatment Of light soils would
doubtless be followed by similar effects. If

DEAR SIR II cannot estimate the good
result of your paper among the farmers

ners like myself. In the 21h No. of I'd
Vol. see an article from Cato, requesting
information Of some old and experienced
farmers as to the best method Of destroying
briars. You know, Mr.. Editor, must fan
short Of that description of parsonage, but
not having seen the subject taken up BY an
abler hand, | will venture few remarks
subject to your abridgment or modification
(if you shall think them worthy which ],
in my endeavors to become a good and
practical farmer, have gained from men Of
experience. have known large patches
of br'ars (and farms that were almost un.
broken patches Of briars,) efec,ualiy dcs.
troyed in the following manner. Cut them
down at the dark ofthe moon in August two
years in succession. One year will answer
in pas ure we'll stocked. 1t would be we'll
to pu, the land in some kind of grass a.
this time, as it appears almost an impossi.
bllity to kill them so long as the roots are
broken and disturbed by plough. They
should be piled with a pitchfork and burned
after cutting, as you would find It rather
serious job the next year, cutting among the
old ones left on the ground. My own ex.
perience does not permit me to say, whether
any other time in August would not do %
we'll as the dark the moon. The short time
have been farming have adhered entirely
10 these rules and hey are the only effec.
,ual ones, ever have heard of.
The best instrument for cutting them is
a briar scylhe. One who understands cut.
ting with them will cut off sprouts half as
large as mans wrist. In fence corner
or such place as they may not be got at easily
with scythe, take hemp knife or hoe |;
possibly one Who cannot use scythe well
might find it advantageous to adopt The
hemp knife. use the latter myself not be.
in able to handle the former. There is
