The Prospects of the Multicaulis Crop

We do moi intend, and hope we shall not
be suspected Of design 10 stimulate specu-
latlon IN morus mullicauis. Our object is
to give such information as we are able to
collect from different quarters of the coun.
try in relation TO the growing crop OF trees.
So far, our information leads US to the con-
clusion that there will not be more thar
one.fifth us many trees grown as there have
been buds planted. We have Information
Of entire plantations having utterly tailed /;
of others tha. have not produced more than
one tree for every ten buds planted; Of
others again that bid fair 10 yield two.thrds,
and some few others that will produce one.
half. Not more than two plantations have
been heard from by US that have yielded
seventy Eve trees for every hundred buds
planted. On carefully comparing these
accounts we have arrived at the conclusion,
that in the whole country there will be rais-
ed not more than one fifth as many trees as
there have been buds planned. We have
been repeatedly applied to for the cause Of
this great failure. As We Of course could
not have been present every where, we can
not even guess q, the cause OF failure IN any
particular case. Some persons haYe sup.
posed their failures were caused by Sleeping
the cuttings in water before planting. This
we do not believe. Cuttings that were too
far gone before they were stepped would
certainly be fastened in their progress to
decay by the water; but those that had life
enough left 10 save them under any circum.
stances would certainly be benefited by It.
Gardeners who propagate roses, DC. by
cuttings, understand the value of putting
the cuttings in water a few hours before
planting them. Others attribute the failure
to early planting, others to late planting;
some TO deep planting and some to shallow
planting. But the grea, body Of cultivalors
attribute it to to the peculiarly unfavorable
season and bad condition of the cuttings
The two latter reasons we are inclined to
think are the rue ones. We have seen
cuttings planted that were perfectly dry
dry as our walking stick, and we should as
soon have expected crop of walking canes
to hive grown from our old Saoeet gum laid
in furrow, as we should a crop Of morus
multicaulis from some cuttings We have
seen planted this spring.
We at present consider the prospect
of the prices Of trees 10 the fall to be deci.
dedly good-even better than at this time

The following Report ola committee on
this subject was presented at the taif A91PHal H
ciety. 49,.
The Committee to whom was referred the
subject Of Vaccination, beg leave to REPoRr
That this important subject, at all times
deserving of the attention Of medical men,
has Of late years been rendered peculiarly
so by the increase Of variolous and varlo.
loid diseases.
Il, is now about fifty years since the vac.
cine virus was introduced 10 public notice
by DR.. Jenner. He obtained It from acow
in the place where he resi1ed. From TINS
oripin-.-from this one cow-more than h'ty
Years aeo--was derived the virus since
carried overthe world, and used in all coun.
tries. In 1900 some Of it was brought into
this country by Dr.. Waterhouse, OF Cam
bridge, Mass, and from thence has been
distributed over the United States. 1our
Committee are, however, aware, that some
genuine virus was obtained in this country
directly from COWS, about the time that 1t
was brought hiher fiom England. ,,:S. Some
was thus obtained in 1901, by DR.. William
Buel, of Sheffield, Mass, and by DR.. North'
of Goshen, and Dr.. Trowbrldge, OF Dam
bury. in this State. Since that time we be-
lieye it has very rarely been obtained from
cows, 10 this, or 10 other countries.
Fears have oflate season among physic-
ians in Europe, and to some extent IN 'hls
this country, ,ha. this virus so long circoa- !.
ting in the human system, has lost some OF
its Prev ntive power; and r.any believe
from tI.eir own observation, thatit isiess ac'
tive than formerly.
Efforts have been made in England to
obtain virus again from its original source !;
but il is singular fact, that though cows
were often affected with this disease about
the time Of Jenner's discovery, not only 10
England, but in this and other countries, yet
for many years since then, and even until
v thin few years, 1t has but seldom been
witnessed in this animal.
This has given rise to the opinion, enter
tanned by some, that the vaccine disease
is really but e rm Of small pox, m't'gated
by passing through the systen oi another
animal ;-an opinion deserving Of consd-
Grafton and investigation.

ed some virus direct from the COW. This
has been used extensively in England, and
deemed by those who have tried it, to be
more active than that formerly in use, pro:
ducing larger and more distinct poek and

A lot of 243 Morus Multicaulis trees was
lately sold in this town for one dollar each, to
be delivered in November. They are from
cuttings planted last spring, and now average
from three to our feet in height. They were
produced from four trees purchased fifteen
months ago for one dollar. The grower, still
retains these four trees, which will probably
yield three or TOUR hundred buds each next
winter.
Morus Multicaulis Cuttings are advertised
In the Augusta (Ga:) papers, to be de.
livered in that city next winter at cent and q
half per bud. Present prices are predicated
upon the extent Of the demand for the trees
last season. What the demand may be next
winter it is impossible now to toresee. 1t will,
doubtless, be much influenced BY the result Of
experiments in the silk culture made in differ
ent parts of the country during the present
summer, and to be yet published. Should
these experiments fulfil the expectations OF
last year, and especially should it be conclu.
sively proved that the Matching of the worms
may be retarded to any period in the season,
