Budding.

Messrs. Editors; For more than
twenty years | have been in the prac,
tice of moculating trees, and have,
perhaps, from my extended observation
noticed some facts not generally rec
ognized. Among other facts, it isgen-
orally agreed that NEGOTIATIONS may be
made any time from June to October,
provided the c%uticle, .or bark, viii peel.
If the operation be performed towards
the end Of June, or commencement OF
July, and can be used in trimming the
branch into which the bud is put, the
latter will commence growing in ten
or twelve days, and a foot or more OF
growth be gain,d the first year: the
process of increment and induratlon,
or hardening, is corsumated before the
advent OF cold: but in most, II not IN
all cases, when the bud is put in. in
September, provided il sprouts, it will
be easily winter-killed. Q.

The Wheat Insect.

A correspondent Of the New York
Mirror gives an experiment made by
himself, which serves 10 throw some
light upon the nature and character Of
the wheat insect. He says: SIN the
spring of'44 ] placed a bag containing
half a bushel of white flint wheat, in a
seed drawer, under glass, and near the
furnace Of my green house. On the
9Th of March, 1916, | opened the bag,
and 10 my surprise, found thousands of
living insects, such as now presented
you--some were on the point Of leav-
ing the kernel, others were just COM
mencing TO eat through, and many were
perfectly formed running about in all
directions. Six years ago ! used to
soak my early grains in salt brine, for
the purpose Of destroying the eggs of
the insect, which | assured my neigh
bors, much to their amusement and I'M
belief was ensconcsd in the kernel.
Now, by accident, the fact is made
manifest. The insec, would not have
appeared until June, perhaps, had the
wheat been sown. The warm situa.
tion it occupied in the green house
brought it thus early TO maturity"

We are defeated at various points only from a want
of harmony and action. No one can critically ex-

not be convinced of this. There is nothing, then,

Raising Young Ounce Trees.

An intelligent cultivator OF fruit has
very successfully adopted the folio wing
practice for raising ounce trees in the
nursery,--instead OF planting the cut
tings Of the desired variety into the soil,
as by the usual method, he inserts each
cutting as a graft into an apple root,
precisely as in common root grating.
Thecuttings commence growing rapid

roots Of their 0 WIN, as they always do
very freely, the apple root separates
and dies, while the ounce c%ontlnuesto

Clim { e..

Agriculturist and others whose pur
suits are liable to be affected by the in
huencs Of climate. are not as generally
aware as they should be, that vegita
ton is as powerfully affected by differ
ence Of elevation as by difference o
latitude--North or South. On Thu
point it is observed by Johnson in 4
paper on the agriculture of different
countries: "Vegetation in ascending a
bove the level of the sea undergoes

the ascent of mountains. The height
Of 1000 or 5000 yards, in the hottes,
part of the globe, produces changes as
distinct as 5000 leagues or more, which
lie between the equator and polar re-
gions. The three classes Of these rap
id changes all re-appear within this
space, viz: Diminution Of heat, dry
ness of air, and p%rotracted duration of
light. The higher we ascend the shall

thence the excessive cold at great

which, at the level of the sea, supports
a column of murcury equal to 20 in

at considerable elevations it will only
support a column of considerably less

quence of this fact is that the vaporiza-

To Multiply the POtatOe.

1T appears not to be generally known
that the potatoe plant may be propaga
ted more abundantly, and with greater
ease, than most other plants. The
shoots produce roots naturally at every
JOINT below the surface of the ground,
when planted in the usual way; TO
plant for propagation, a small space of
ground will be sufficient, as the tuhors
may be placed close together; when
the shoots have grown an inch or two
above the surface OF the earth, the tops
may be cut off below the first rooted
joint, and planted two or three inches
apart in fine sandy earth; in the course
of a week or ten days they will be root,
ed plants, and planted at the distance
that potatoes are generally planted,
will produce a lot OF tubers in eight, ten
or twelve weeks according to the
kinds equal to that produced from tu-
bers and when p~ropagated in this a
ner, plants may be obtained in great
quantities. A more simple way will
be to place the tubers in a similar man
ner as before stated, and when the
shoots have grown to the length Of two
or three inches above the soil, to take
up the tubers and strip off the shoots
from lhem;' there will be six or more
beautifully rooted plants, just in order
for final planting; replace the tubers
as before, which may be repeated at
least four times, and this will produce
sufficient plants from four or five tu-
beers Of moderate size to plant a rod
of ground, at the distance that tubers
are generally planted. Lateral shoots
taken from a growing crop, treated like
cuttings of other plants, and afterwards
tra~usplanied, will also produce a crop
of tubers equal in quantity to that pro-
duced by the parent plant.

AGRICULTURAL
The Farmers Song.

The Farmers Song.
In sweet healthy air, with a farm of his own,
Secluded from tumult and strife,
The farmer, more blest than the king on his throne
Enjoys all the comforts Of life.
When the sweet smiling Spring sheds its perfume
around,
And music enchants every tree,
With his glittering pIoughshare he burrows hi
ground, {.
With mind independent and free.
When Summer to fruit the sweet blossoms trans
forms,
And his harvest-helds wave with the breeze,
Sweet anticipation untolds all her charms,
And points TO contentment aud ease.
When bountiful Autumn her treasure besiows,
2 And her fruits are all gathered and stored,
His heart to the Giver with gratitude glows.
And plenty presides at his board. aa
When Winter howls dismally over the earth,
And want tells her tale at his door,
S~ersnely he sits by his clear blazing hearth,
rs And ~dispenses relief to the poor.
Then let idle ambition her baubles pursue,
While wisdom looks down with disdain:
b Where health, peace, and competence reign.

"Our own OHIO, and the tillers of her soil"
PROSPECTUS OF THE >
Ohio Cultiyator--Vol. 3--1S47

Devoted 10 the promotion Of agriculture; Horti.
culture, and Domestic Industry.
Published at Columbus, Ohio, on the LIST and
18th Teach month, by M. B.. BATEHAM, Editor
and Proprietor, assisted by a very large number Of
practical and scientific contributors-farmers, hor-
ticulturis,s, &c., and Illustrated Uih numerous
E~NGRAvINGs.
TEMRS One Dollar per year, for single sub
scriptions; or four copies when ordered together.
for three dollars; all payments made in advance;
all subscriptions to begin with the volume, and
none received for less than o year. Letters with
subscriptions may be sent by mail at the risk and
expense of the editor.
The Cultivator has now become so well known
to the farmers and friends of agriculture In Ohio,
that nothing need be said of its character or de-
sign. Its pages will continue to diitIse intelll-
gence of the utmost practical importance to farm
ers, and all who are concerned IN the cultivation
of the soil and the mind. 1t will contain the latest
and most reliable intelligence respecting the crops
and the markets, both in this country and in Eu-
rope, so as to aid the farmer in deciding at what
time and price to dispose of his productions. This
Information alone will be worth, to most farmers,
many times the price of subscription, especially
now that the prices are SO much affected by for
eign intelligence
The influence ofthe paper, wherever it has been
generally read, is admitted to have been highly
salutary. Ii has begun to awaken Esprit OF inqul-
ny and improvement among the farmers, and to
inspire them with more just and elevated concep-
tons of the character, duties and pleasures of their
noble occupation. As evidence of this, it may be
stated, that during the past year, Agricultural
have been organized in twenty counties
of this State; and there is reason to believe that as
many more will be formed duriug the year to come.
These associations, in connection with the State
Board of Agriculture, and the CULTIvAToR as
an organ for the diffusion of intelligence, cannot
fail to exert such an influence on the minds and
the practice OF the farming community, as will In
o few years place our GIANT STATE in that posi-
ton which she is by Nature designed to occupy
the first State of the Union in agricultural wealth
md lasting prosperity.
