The sugar, Cane Expedition.

The following is copy from the New
/ Orleans Picayune of the 9TH inst:
| ~Tbe limited States bark Release, Lieu
tenant Sims commanding, arrived yester
Laay afternoon at this port, with over 1000
boxes ofcane cuttings, plaintain, banana
eddo and other plants from Laguayra
South America
The Release, it will be recollected. Ma:
sent out at the instance of the Hon. Charles
Mason United States Commissioner
Patents, to South America, to select speci.
mems of cane not IN cultivation in the
United States Mr.. Townsend Glover. Of
the Patent Office, was detailed to make
the selections uwr - .EsF.Fgsrg1
e The Release sailed from New York son
the 9TH of November, 1856, and arrived al
Demarara on the 26th of that month.
At that place she took aboard over 400
boxes of the Cabba cane variety, besides
plantains, bananas, eddos and buck yam
roots. - c9--- 7Hs- . is5s
: From Eemarara tlr Release proceeded
to Laguayra. No cane of note grows at
this point, but it is the nearest port to
Caracas, where the directions of the Patent
Office ordered cane TO be cut. t
The difficulty of transporting the cuttings
from Caraeas TO Laguayra may be estima-
ted the fact that the city of Caracas lies
5000 feet above the level of the sea. The
variety selected at Caracas is the purple or
red species. About 500 boxes were taken
aboard at Laguayra.
Mr. Glover, with whom We had a leng-
thened conversation, speaks in the highest
terms of the country; itneeding but Amer
ican enterprise to develop its rich and
boundless resources. Caracas impressed
him very favorably, Notwithstanding the
manifold traces yet visible of the memora-
bic earthquake of 1923. Mr.. Glover also
expressed himself greatly indebted to the
authorities there for kindly offers to aid
him in his mission.
We were also shown a large number of
curiosities selected by Mr. Glover, which
no doubt will enrich the collection of the
Patent Office at Washington. e., ~,

Hoe CHOLERA IN BOURBON Co., Ky
We see that the disease which is designa-
mated as the "Hog Cholera" and which has
for the last six months proved SO fatal in
different parts of the country, but more es-
pecially along the Ohio river, below Gin
cinnati, has made its appearance in Bour-
bon county, KY. The Paris Citizen of
Friday says: "This disease has made its
appearance in our country. Mr.. Samuel
H. Clay has lost nearly all his hogs, and
his neigbor, Mr.. Aker, has also lost large
number. Mr., Clay thinks his hogs con
tracter the contagion at some of the fairs,
at which part of them were exhibited last
fall. Our farmers should be very careful
TO isolate their stock as much. as possible,
avoiding any intercourse with hogs that
have been exposed to the disease"

has been well kept and not exposed to the
action of the weather. Put on the ashes
and allow them to remain for three or four
days, after which the soil can be put in

must be the best mould that can be procured
from the garden. The seed should not be
planted for several days after the bed has
been made, as there is danger of destroying
the germ, seed is put over the hot ma
nure too soon. Air should be given to the
bed before it is planted.
The frame should be banked up with
warm manure and soil on all sides, to pro-
teet it fromcold and when the weather is
unusually inclement, itwould be worth while
to cover it with straw. The bed should be
-sprinkled with water daily until the plants
appear, and: when the weather is sufficient
ly mild, the sashes can be removed to al
low the entrance of fresh air and make the
plants grow strong and hardy. y -

Norman Horses.

In aiate number of the Ohio Farmer,
/ noticed communication from James
Archer, Esq, of Steubenville, o., making
inquiries about Norman horse, and also
your editorial remarks, appended thereto.
The President Of our agricultural So
ciety, DR.. M. Brown, while in Europe, in
the year 1856, purchased of 2. Pimount,
a celebrated horse breeder, living about
twenty miles from Havre, France, a pure
blood Norman stallion, and brought him
to this country, where he made four sea
sons. -ii - s--rf = -sii e. s..s isi. - '-ss5
DIR. Brown haviasg sold Normandy, at
the close of last season, and being anxious
to see what the result of bis introduction
into this country had beer, offered a pri-
vate premium for the best Norman colt of
any age, to be exhibited at our County
Fair, held in October last An. unexpect-
edly large number of his colts were enter
ed, and when they were brought before the
judges in the ring, an expression of un-
qualified approval was passed upon them,
by all present. They were the best av-
erage let of colts ever exhibited on our Fair
grounds from one stallion. In form and
color, Mormandy's colts possess a striking
similarity. -sta- -a 2 i
The cross produced by breeding to our
large draught mares, could hardly be sty-

ing, even sufficient to be classed as such,
if there is such a class, properly. AS a
general fact, Normandy's colts are rather
lower, heavy lmbed, thick set, and muscu-
larly developed, in the highest extreme
Those bred from. fine mates, possess much
better action, and viii make enduring car

Selecting seeds.

This is an affair of more importance
than is generally supposed, and should be
attended to as early in the season as is con-
venient. The selection of spring wheat
cannot be too carefully attended to espe-
cially by those farmers who seed their
fields down to grass with this grain. eiia
Much of the foul trash which Injuries and
disfigures our meadows, is sown with seeds
which have not been thoroughly cleaned.
The English farmers sort out all their
wheat and many of their other seeds BY
hand, which, although somewhat tedious
method, might well be initiated here in
many cases. 1t is much easier to pick over
the seeds these long winter evenings than to
eradicate the weeds when they have once
taken possession of field. As the plan of
sowing grass seeds with spring grain is rap
idly gaining ground, the importance Of
having the seeds clear of anything foul is
greatly augmented, as no convenient way
of destroying them can be pursued until
the sward is again broken up for hoed
crops.
In selecting seed-corn it is not necessary
to procure the largest ear without ref
erence to their shape and soundness; but
rather to obtain those of medium size
which are sound, well-filled up at the ends
and Thoroughly ripe.
Seed oats and barley should be run
through the fan-mill at least three times
before they are used, which will clean them
and blow out all the lighter grains. g' .le

Culture of the CRANBERRY.

Elias Nedham, Esq, Of West Danvers,
has a lot, of upland, bordering upon the
Danyerse railroad, containing five-eights ol
an acre. Upon this, some. five or six years
since, he set out cranberry plants and has
cultivated them with great care. This
year he picked 81 bushels of excellent
cramberries, which he sold for four dollars
bushel, and besides these there were some
ten bushels of damaged berries. From
trees on the same land he picked fourteen
barrels of apples, which he sold for fou
dollars barrel--making the gross income
from fre-eights of an acre, four hundred
and forty dollars. Beat this who can.

E The rasberry will do well in any
good, rich and deep garden soil, but sue
ceeds best where is inclined to be moist.
In dry, sandy soil, the more tender sorts
will ripen the wood better, but in such a
soil thorough mulching is necessary. The
best situations is in border on the north
side of fence, or where they are grown
extensively on the northern exposure of a
side hill, as In this situation the plants are
not as much affected by sudden changes in
winter, and the fruit is larger if grown in a
rather shady situation. They NAV be
grown finely in young orchards say two
rows between each row of trees.

Fair at Henderson.

We visited the fair of the Granville county Ag-
ricultural Society at Henderson Thursday last.
The day was unpropitious, and the attendance,
though quite respectable in point of plumbers, was
not as large it would have been if the weather
had been favorable.
Owing to the rain the fine fabrics of female skill
and taste could not be exhibited to much extent,
but we noticed some fine coverlids, counterpanes,
bed quilts domestic fannels, &c. The agricultural
department was very good, embracing excellent spe-
cimens of corn, wheat, black oats rice, cabbage,
Irish, yam and Spanish potatoes toba"co, cotton,
beets; parsnips, squashes, pumpkins, bacon &c. &c.
Mr. j. j. Wyche exhibited about GO different speci-
mems in the agricultural line, of them very Gu
rious-perhaps more curious than useful, There
also good specimens Of leather, harness, sad
dies, &c. SGD . - '@t.'aH.". Ht..' -,r-'
