Lit inlo tlio ground li;is succeeded beyond expect:ilion. 

 egetables ot'ail Uindd, are rnt>re abundant, ch- apt-r by 

 3 per cent, and of fur better quality this year, th.in they 

 ;ive been fir a number of years. Tliere were more 

 ucumbefs tlie 1st of July, 1837, than the whole pro- 

 uce of 1836. Fruit is coining in well Corn is some- 

 hat backward, but llie w.irin suns of July and August 

 'ill ripen il in good lime, and a fair crop may be ex- 

 scted. Every body will have a good crop of potatoes. 

 rasB is good. Grain abundant. Field crops of every 

 ascription and kind, promise well. On the whtile, 

 lere is no drawback to the happiness of every tiller of 

 le soil. Already do the finners of western New York 

 ■gin to cry for more help to gatiier in and secure their 

 ch iiarvest. 



(Tor the \ew England Farmer.) 



Watertown, July 10, 1837' 

 Mr Fesscjtilcii : — Your Farmer has been taken in my 

 mily ever since it has existed, and I feel myself called 

 •nn as one of the community, to advance public good, 

 ■ requesting you, by your paper, to solicit Hon. Wii,- 

 AM A. Haves, of South Berwick, (Mo.) to give us 

 rmers the advantage of his experience for 20 years. 

 If yon or your readers have ever travelled in Maine, 

 lU could not but observe the fruitfuiness of Judge 

 ayes's land. This genlleman has been equally suc- 

 ssful at farming as at law. If you will do me the 

 ndness, you will oblige me and my friends. 



An olb Fakjiek. 



By the Editw. — We have not the honor of a personal 

 quaintanee wiih the gentleman named a;iove ; but his 

 aracter, given by out correspondent, entitles him to 

 r highest respect If Jutlgu Hayes would be kind 

 ough to comply with the foregoing request, he would 

 it only confer a great favor on us, but, perhaps, add 

 his own happiness, by enjoying the satisfaclion of 

 ,ving contributed to the welfare of the community. 



A beautiful imitation of rose wood, marbled on com- 

 m pine wood, for looking glasses and picture frames, 

 ,3 been placed in the hands of tlie Cabinet makers 

 )m the .Marble Paper and Card Manufactory of Mes. 

 5 S. C. & E Mann, of Dedham. This style of work 

 is been pronounced superior lo the nicest rose wood 

 ■ the Upholsterers. We have examined an elegant 

 antle glass, finished in this manner. It is feally a 

 lendid piece of furniture. Specimens of this kind of 

 urk will he exhibited at the Fair of tlie American In- 

 itute, in September. We are inclined to believe that 

 will become quite fashionable, — Dedham Pat. 



Worms os Trbes. — The Post says : "The trees in 

 is city, are much infested this year with worms of the 

 terpillar kind, which in some instances entiiely de- 

 lur the foliage, and leave the branches as naked as in 

 inter The following has been given us as a recipe 

 prevent their' ravages : 



Dissolve a quantity of Sal .\mriioniac in water. Dip 

 brush in the solution, and pass it over the trunk of tlie 

 ee ; this will prevent the worms from ascending. Take 

 syringe and throw the water on tlie branches, and 

 Mong the leaves. This may be done from a high win- 

 (W, if the tree stands near the house." — U. S. Cas- 

 te. 



[p»Our report of prices remain as it was last week. 

 here is no business in the city, of any consequence.
