sioner Of Patents we have gathered Z variety OF
liens Of Agricultural interest and OF recent improve
menrs in the Arts and Sciences, which we condense
for The information OF persons TO whose hands the
extended report may not come.
The document recommends variety OF hitherto
neglected Agricultural products TO the attention Of
farmers, first among which is the sympbytum on
ciaale, or "prckly conffey." This is said TO have
been first noticed in Loudons Gardner's Magazine
in 1889, b. Dr.. Grant OF Lewisham, England. If
all said OF il be true, deserves notice and will prove
valuable acquisition. Cattle, Dr. Grant says. ore
very fond oft; Is Of easy growth and produces 80
tons OF green fodder in year. Ii is easily fixed,
and after it has once taken root would probably
iinue to yield good crops for several years. MIR.
Ezekiel Rich, Of Troy, y. II. states the produce 10
be very great, alording two cuttings in every wear
The root should be harvested once in two years and
will yield ,, 100 bushels Per acre. Many other farm
er5 have signifed their approval Off as crop.
The Jerusalem Artchokc is also strongly recon-
mended as food FOR cattle. 1t sometimes produces,
in Europe, more than 1900 bushels to the acre.
The Corn Spurry is recommended as suitable
cover for poor sandy lands being easily cultivated
and producing an abundance OF pasture.
Clover appears TO require attention ltwas presented
to the Royal Agricultural Society OF England by
Mr.. TAYLOR, who stated that though planted in the
Spring, it grew uxurianty up to the latter part of
September, when it feet high, and the stalks
we're manufactured into a strong and durable hemp.
1t stands the Winter well flowers in June, and in the
middle of July is covered with fragrant white bios
som. 1t should be harvested in the latter part Of
September. Ii is valuable green food for cattle,
and fcui when IL or 30 inches high, would furnish
u food superior TO the common heritage plants.
The Iussoc Grass is also Indigenous and OF III
cstnahe worth. It's large and sedgy, OF the &C.
nus carex The seed @. this Grass should be sown
in patches Just below the surface OF the ground, 81
distances OF two feet apart, and afterwards weeded
out as it grows very luxuramtly 10 the hight OF
six feet OF more. 1t shoots up rapidly after being
cut, but is much Injured if grazcd on. Hogs DO
great Injury to ii in their search after the nut-bear
ing roots. Upon these nuts two sailors, wrecked
upon tie West Falkland Islands, subsisted, and
formed their huts OF It's masses OF tlbrcs.
The Guano Grass, a native of the praires Of the
Choctaw country, is said TO beyeta most vauable
Grass for animals 1t Is said 10 produce 100000 or
250000 lbs. of the green Grass TO the acre.
Yet another Grass, and ono more generally dis
tribued over the whole country, is the ruAdO Grass
The peculiar variety called 1rUnd0 AfoPecHrHs
growing extensively upon the salt marshes on the
sea.shorc is especially recommended TO notice.

Mliiei and telchcs haze neither been sufficiently
tested in the United States.
A gigantic species OF Cabbagc from France called
the Anou Cabboge, is spoken OF. In Aniou they
grow and g. or even feet high From June,
when they begin to rpen,ther leaves may from time
10 time be gathered, and then they shoot out again.
Cattle are exceeding ~ fond OF them.
Nader il is said, will pay $500 TO the acre, when
properly managed. One gentleman has produced
on his farm 1900 pounds an acre, and he believes
the product may be extended TO 3,OO0 which is
greater than the average crops OF Gernanyand ftol-
land Ii will require from 80 TO 100 days work TO
an acre, and crop is not reaped Jill II is years

err States. A gentleman III Mississippi has q tree
