AMERICAN CORR SHELLER-I appeal to the intel
Hgent citizens Of Nashville if this is not the best
invention of the kind ever exhibited in this city
The mechanics, farmers, scientific, and indeed all
classes of men have been to examine and try the
machine and see its operations It is decidedly the
best article Of the kind have ever seen as respects
simplicity and durability as well as the rapidty and
perfection with which it shells corn it is certainly
a most valuable acquisition to the labor-ssving
department If this be so, why do our manufsctu-
rers stand of: Some of our best and largest farms
ers have purchased machines, and they say, after
trying the Corn Shelter hatit is the best they have
ever seen. Mr.. Brown says he suppOses there have
been over thousand persons who have tried it,
and all say it is the best they ever saw. VIII We
suffer a stranger to come in our midst and sell ma
chimes TO our farmers, when we have the oppOrtu-
nifty of buying the right of the State and manufac-
turing them ourselves? There is a large profit on
the machines. When this is plain before you, will
you still stand of? hope some one will take hold
have seen Mr.. Brown; he will sell the machines

Artificial and stable Manure.

have for years employed the various kinds
Of concentrated manures as well as different
kinds Of farm-yard dung, and yet with every
inclination to prefer the former, / feel COM
PEELED in the majority of cases to prefer good
barn yard muck TO anything else.
Though protesting to be but plain, practi-
cal tiller Of the soil, class myself with those
who like TO know some kind of reason for their
various operations. have read carefully the
writings of agricultural chemists on the action
Of manures, and on the analysis of plants, and
their rcasonings have always seemed to con-
vince me that all that was necessary to insure
as perfect vegetable growth as possible was
to supply the soil with the different ingredients
that entered into the composition Of the plants
grown. Experience has confirmed this to q
great extent. Plants Astounding in some of
their parts with phosphates, are certainly i'm
proved by the application of manures of that
description. But the same effects in most in
stances are produced by stable manure | have
seen instances where comparative experiments
have been made, that concentrated manures of
some kinds have produced superior results;
but this is anything but the rule.
In short, the conclusion / arrive at is, that
while science teaches us to prefer conccnh ated
manurcs wein practice have to give the prefer
ence to the old-fashioned manures How is
this 10 be reconciled? would suggest whether
the mechanical action and thermal effects Of
vegetable manurcs, are not overlooked by our
chemists9 1t seems to me that no matter how
well adapted certain elements may be TO vege-
table growth, the plant is unable to avail its If
Of the opportunity without due proportion Of
heat All dark soils are much warmer than
light ones; and it may be that the power Of
stable manure to give dark color to soils, and
thus render to it q greater power of supplying
greater warmth to the plant, may be one rea-
son for its superiority in practice. Light
colored soils arc usually poor, and dark ones
fertile; and this is probably owing to the great
or warmth of the latter. If this be recognized
as correct, much Of the opposing experience Of
different observers will be reconciled; for con-
centrated manurcs, guano, for instance, while
it nigh. prove superior to farm. yard dung on
soil already warm and datk colored, would
stand no chance at all where poor light color

TO nd my orchard Of these implacable enc
mics, repair to the trees about the 10Th of
August and kneeing upon the ground, with a
garden trowol remove the soil for few in
ches around the stem, To the depth Of three to
six inches. With the back of my knife. l
scrape the uncovered stem thoroughly, pressing
upon every part II, and several inches above
the collar, to assure myself Of its soundness,
and if any yielding under the pressure ofthe
knife is observed, explore for The cause,
which generally proves to be Borcr. cut
away the dead bark, and remove all the chips
left by The Borer, sometimes following with a
chiscl and mallet six or eight inches, until /
find it, and having killed the insect, carefully
clean out the whole wound made by it in the
tree, taking care not to enlarge it. Ten or fif-
teen grubs are sometimes foundin single tree.
Having completed the examination, replace
the soil, covering with it if possible, all the
wound upon The stem. In April, repeat
the examination, to kill such Of the insects as
may have escaped the former. An average Of
forty minutes to each tree is consumed in the
two examinations
Various cxpedients had been adopted to pre-
vent the beetle laying its eggs upon the trees,
some of them partially successful, but none
completely SO until an experiment which tried
last season.
During the last week in May, removed the
soil from around the stems Of my apple, pear
and ounce trees, to the depth of two or three
inches, then wound around each tree large
newspaper, placing the lower edge at the bot
tom Of the cavity and extending upwards the
full length of the paper, tying the paper at the
bottom and at the top firmly with twinc and
loosely in two places between. / then replaced
the soil In about three weeks, and before the
papers had rottcd at the ground, banked the
earth around considerable portion Of them,
and repeated it about three weeks later. Early
in July, loosened the upper Irvine, to prevent
its cutting the trees. About the 18th Of
August, removed the papers from the apple
and ounce trees Qeaving them on the pear
trees all Winter and, to my great joy, not
Borer was to be found in those which had
been banked up in proper season; the others
not wholly escaping The reason was obvious.
1t was simply impossible for the beetle to lay
its eggs where instinct teaches it to deposit
them. The whole time occupied in these OPP
erations, including the examinations in August
averaged twenty minutes to each tree.
If our cultivators will pursue the course
above indicated first Kidding their trees Of all
grubs now in them,) they need complain no
more of the Borer, the experience of one Sum-
mcr confirming as an infallible preventive
what would seem in reason to be such.
Covering the stems with paper, inasmuch as
it shields them from the solar rays, is very
beneficial, promoting thrifty growth of the
stems-Agriculturalist.

Grape Culture.

We are surprised that so little attention is
devoted to the culture of the vine at the South.
Wherever proper attention is bestowed upon
this delicious fruit, it is almost certain to yield
an annual return, most generally escaping the
spring frosts. These hints have been called
forth by some very handsome, palatable grapes
of the Warrenton species, which were present
ed to us a few days since, from the prolific ar
Dor of the Senior Editor, to whose foricultu-
raj and horticultural skill, we are often indebt-
