NEW MODE OF GRATING.

llr Downing, of Newburg, has lately
pracliced with success, a new mode of graf
ting, the object being TO test the quality Of
fruits raised from seeds, in shorter period
than would be possible by permitting such
seedlings to stand until time of bearing.
The method is, to put the top of shoot
from a Seeding tree, or new variety, when
it is desirable to procure a specimen imme-
diately, upon the top of a thrifty shoot or a
mddle-aged lruit-bearing tree the process
being simply to take thrifty shoots, about a
quarter of AN inch in diameter, and cut them
in slantng manner clear through, so as to
dctach abou, four inches of the top from the
rest, making the line of the angle about an
inch-the stock being cut in the same man
ncr. The backs are TO be then carefully
united, and bound with yarn, covering the
whole with grating wax 10 exclude the air.
By this mode, fruit may be obtained in a
short time, so as to test its value at an early
day, the operation being simple with scarcely
a fear of faiurc.-Seiected.

VILLAGE FARMING.

1t is all fudge 10 suppose tina, man must
live in the country in order to be farmer.
Allexperience proves that extensive farming
business can be carried on in every village.
For example, every village farmer can
keep Hen-cry supplied with 50 or 100
chickens, which will fat easily on his neigh
hors' gardens.
Every mau should have at least tw cows
and other horned cattle. In the summer
they will do well in the woods, and in the
winter they pick up very respectable liv-
ing from the farmers wagons as they come
into town. We have Cows among us tina,
can climb ladder, or sllp's rigging.
dogs can be easily kept in great alum
dance and the more porkislr their disposition

streets, have great regard for the property
of their neighbors, and discourse most clo-

able to keep well stocked dove-cot, for in
al! the spring months the doves will feed
without cost upon tho neighbors' seed grain,
and prevent the plants from coming up too
thick. A good large flock of turkeys, also,
will, in the autumn, put themselves in fine
condition to grace the thanksgiving table, by
stuling themselves in the neighbours corn

turn out your cows or your horse in April,
before the bars are put up in the ne,ghborhood
they will find their way into a ncighbor's
field, and pick up half a living. Such little
matters are worth thinking of.

AGRICULTURE OF EUROPE AND
THE UNITED STATES

We have before us "McGregor's Statis-
tics" which contain curious table, COM
piled from one prepared by Baron Won
Malchus, Minister Of Finance in Wirtcm-
burgh, in 1928. 1t exhibits the agriculture
and live stock of all the nations of Europe,
in manner similar to the statistics of the U,
States.
The total amount of grain then raised in
some of the important nations was as follows.
Grain here includes wheat, barley, oats, and

In the United States the total number of
swine is about 81 900, OOO-which is to each
soul, l l-2; far greater than any other
country of Europe.
The number of hogs in the United States
is greater Than in all England, France, Prus-
STA, Austria, Spain, Denmark, Bavaria, and
the Netherlands, making a population ex-
ceedIng l2O,000,0OO.
OF sheep, the proportion in Europe to
each soul, is thus:
Great Britain, 2
Prussia, "a
Denmark, 90
Austria, 2-5
France, Il Ito
Spain,
In the United States, the number is
l9,OOO,O OO-the proportion is 18th. In
this article, England is in advance of the
United States. In the State of New York,
however, the proportion of sheep is as high
as in England.
There is, however, another aspect 10 this
comparison. What is the relative product
per acre? We have not the means of
knowing the number of acres of arabic land
in the United States, but there are some To-
cal statistics from which we can gather some
thing.
The number of acres of improved land in
the State of New York. is about 10000 600
In Great Britain, 9S,000,000
The proportion is nearly 10 tol.
The grain raised OF the kinds mentioned,
is in New York, 3S,000,0OO
In Great Britain, 262 100000
The proportion in New York is the

Cattle in New York, 2,6i2,000
4" Great Britain, 100000
Sheep in New York, 5,3Sl,000
I" Great Britain, 100000
In grain, cattle, and sheep, then, the State
of New York raises more per acre than
Great Britain.
IL the comparison were made only of the
agricultural districts of England, the result
would not be the same ; 70, England does
raise more wheat per acre, under good cul-
Gration, than the United States. But when

Denmark and England have much the
largest portion of cattle, though Russia, not
included in the above, has nearly as large a
portion of cattle as England. In. the United
States, the number Of cattle is 13,500,O00 /;
to each soul, 4-5lhs. The proportion again
is nearly or quite as high as that of Denmark,
and higher than the average of Europe.
Bat if we examine particular States, we find
some that have a larger number of cattle in
proportion than any part of Europe. Thus,
il Vermont and New York, there are more
cattle than there are living souls.

CJSTOM-HOUSE REMOVALS.

In our Wednesdays paper we alluded to some
slight discomfort manifestng itself in Philadelphia,
in consequence of certain removals from office We
now learn that the epidemic has reached this city,
much to the dislike and terror of the Clay incum-
bents who hold Office under the federal Cover ment
These gentlemen, if to believe them on their
own statements, too chivalrous and pure minded
to hesitate for moment, between their interest
and their duty to their country.
Have not a series of disasters which they have
wooed with the zeal and ardor of lover, afforded
sufficient proof that they at least, the last men
in the world to contemplate necessary and inevita-
bic removal from Office, with any other emotion than
that of cheerful and sefsacrificng designations The
immortal Shakespeare, IN substance says: in the adj
mlnistration of the commonwealth, all agencies must
conform to the policy efficiency, unity and integrity
of the State; and, indeed, so FIRMLY convinced are
the Wings of the soundness Of this maxim, that its
orthodoxy has never been called in question. 1t was
in fact, with the Wing party, sound in faith and
sounder in practice How ridiculous then, 20 sup
pose that those who are to be removed shortly, will
set up wall and limentation that they will become
doleu under the influence of force which they
have personhed and canonzed. Their prescribing
principle, hath two edge sword, one edge If which,
country of equal rights, in all Justice belongs to
the Wings, else why two edges.
II is a rule in mechanical philosophy to institute
certain correspondent relations Of all the parts of
machine that the perfection of the work it is de-
signed to accomplish may be rendered certain. No
will question the soundncss of this practice nor
will those who know that natural and artificial me-
chancs do by the certainty of their operations point
out the couIse to DC followed by statesmen and phi
losophers, wonder that chief magistrate should ar.
range all the parts Of the government committed to
his with view to the attainment of the great
desideratum--namey, the efficiency, harmony and
success of his administration. In our opinion there
is too much sensibiity exhibited the subject of
moval from office. It never can become question
of interest to the public at large As far as the in
cumbents concerned, it is of profit far as
the magistrate is concerned, it is of pa riosm-
We hope neither Mr.. Tyler nor those who act under
him. will for moment hesitate in the choice Of prop
err persons to give to the government all the strength
purity and talent necessary for its ec ency and vim
dcation.

The Boston American says, that Joel Parker, Chief
Justice of New Hampshire, has accepted the agency
of the Suffolk Mills, in Lowell, in place of Robert
Means, deceased. Judge Parker is well known Us
one of the ablest and most distinguished urists in
New England. His salary, however, as Chief JUS
tice of New Hampshire (ony 81 400 does not afford
him sufficient compensation for his arduous labors
on the bench.--.N. Y. american.
From personal acquaintance with Judge
Parker, we are well qualified to bear testimony
TO his many agreeable qualities, and his very
genllemanly department. AS jurst, he has
but few superiors in the country as man Of
honorable feeling, not one. 1t is very credita-
BILE circumstance in the political life of the
Hon. Isaac Hill, that when Governor of New
Hampshire he offered Judge Parker the first
seat on the bench of the highest court, though
opposed to his political opinions; it is no less
creditable to Judge Parker, that while exercis-
ing the responsible duties of that high office, he
so administered the law, wisely and impartially,
that no one could be reminded Of the politician
in the judge.

THE TWO NETOES

We stated some time ago in this paper that the
President proposed TO include paragraph in his
veto message, ayowng that it not his intention
to be candidate for the Presidency at the ensuing
election. His object, in making that communication
TO the country, in connection with the veto at that
time, was to place record the fact that in differ
ing with his friends on the bank question, he was
guided solely by his constitutional and long cherished
objections TO such institution and not by any per-
sonal or ambitious objects. The Harrison cabinet
earnestly dssuaded HIM from adopting such a course
and al their sugg sons, he omitted the declaration
MIR. Gushing, in his late speech, confirms that fact
and although some time has elapsed it has not been
denied by single person having authority to contra
dict it, or pronounce it untrue This circumstance
affords matter for deep and serious consideration
One of the charges which the ultra Wings repeated
IN every direction, and dwet upon with the utmost
violence and severity, that the President in these
vetoes was counting the locoocos and was endea, or
ing to procure their support for q reelection Ii

piles which brought him into ofiice-an abandonment
Of the pest interests OF The counry-a shameful vio-
'latlon OF his pledges, having other aim or object
than to secure his reelection by locofoco votes
