To Correspondents. — We have several communica- 

 tions on hand which shall receive our earliest attention. 

 ' The model of the butter press has been received by 

 the Agricultural Commissioner, and will certainly gain 

 favor. It will go to the Mechanics' Show. 



The ploughs have been received by hiiii from Mr Ste- 

 vens, of Vermont. They are capital in 1 heir construc- 

 tion, and from former personal trials with ptotighsof this 

 description, and the principles on which they are formed, 

 he believes that they are not and cannot be surpassed 

 bv any for the ploughing of green sward. He will, if 

 practicable, have them tried at some one of the ploughing 

 matches.

Morns MultlcaiUis Trees from Seed. 



The subscriber offers for sale 10,000 trees produced from 

 seed of the genuine Morus Multicaulis. The seed was rais- 

 ed on his premises is 1S35; the trees have been multiplied 

 for the two last years by layers, their growth is more rapid 

 than the original tree, and appear to be sufficiently acclima- 

 ted to endure the winter, some of them having been left 

 standing in the open field unprotected during the two last 

 wmters without any essential injury. The leaves are very 

 large and equal m quality to any other kind for feeding the 

 silk worm. Those who are wishing to purchase a superior 

 kind of Mulberry are requested to call and examine for them- 

 selves, before the foliage is destroyed by frost

Min^BERRY tre:e:s. 



The subscriber has on hand a quantity of MulhcrryTrees of a 

 quality which isprobablysuperior toany kind ever introduced 

 into this country. They were 1 rn ported Xot"" years since and 

 though they have sustamed the rigorous cold of the last three 

 winters entirely unprotected, yet it is believed a Southern or 

 Western dimaie would be more admirably adapted to their 

 growth and propagation. Their foliage is most luxuriant 

 and affords more nourishment than any other variety. Silk 

 produced by worms fed with the leaves, has been pronounced 

 by judges to be the best ever manufactured by them, and de- 

 I cidedlv superior to the Ijcsi Italian. A few thousand will be

* Lime. By a law passed by the Legislature of Maine, 

 at its last Session, the size of the Casks and the inspection 

 of this article was altered. The act went into operation on 

 the first of August last — the casks now contain about one 

 quarter more then formerly and are more uniform in appear- 

 ance. The price has advanced and we have altered our quo- 

 tations accordingly. Sales 800 a 1000 casks at 1 20 per cask 

 the past week. Further sales of Thomaston new inspec- 

 tion, have been made at the quoted rate. — Courier.
