ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
“Honey Blade” Grass.— -0, H. L —This is the Hun- 
garian, merely, with a fancy name. We have given a 
description of this grass heretofore. 
“Agricultural Statesmanship.” — The suggestions of 
Dr. F. H. Gordon deserves the particular attention of our 
readers and contemporaries. We are strongly in favor of 
such a movement as he advocates, and hope the “ball” he 
has started will be “kept in motion.” 
Texas Letter, — A. M. — Greatly obliged for the valu- 
able information you send us, and hope to hear from you 
hereafter. 
Berkshire Hogs.— S. G. J. — Any person having Berk- 
shire pigs for sale will address S. G. Jenkins, Silver Run, 
Alabama. 
Magnolia Trees. — J. H. — The best time to transplant 
Magnolia Grandijiora^ and most other evergreens, is in 
the spring, just as the new growth is commencing. 
Corn and Cob Mills — N. J.— We do not know of 
any Mill that will do all you require. You may, however, 
address any of the Agricultural Implement dealers whose 
advertisements appear on our cover. 
Utley’s Plow and Stanford Grass. — P. S. M. — 
We do not know the holder of the Patent for North Caro- 
lina. Address, Grey Utley, Greensboro, N. C. The quan- 
tity of Grass Seed you want, sent per mail, will cost about 
one dollar. 
‘ “ Morell’s American Shepherd.” — J. W. E. — Send 
$1.50 to A. 0. Moore & Co., 140 Fulton street. New York 
City, 
Hollyhock Seed.— H, M L, — We have none of the 
desired seed. Write to J. M. Thorburn & Co., 15 John 
St., New York City. 
Utley’s Plow, — P. S, D. — This Plow, in its improved 
form, cannot be sent out until the autumn of 1859, and 
we believe the right for Texas is yet held by the Patentee, 
Grey Utley, of Greensbro, N. C. 
Southern Agricultural Implements. — W. P.— Our 
good friend and correspondent, Dr, M. W, Philips, with 
Z. A. Philips and Robt, Kells, have a Factory at Jackson, 
in your State, (Miss.) and can doubtless supply you. Ad- 
dress Philips & Kells, Jackson, Miss. 
Wheat, Rye, Oats, or Barley. — C, L — We rather 
prefer Rye— though we have known Wheat sown in drill 
to give an excellent yield. We would advise you, also, 
to try “Stanford’s Wild Grass.” It must succeed in your 
section. 
“Work on Gardening,” &c.— J. E. H.— The price of 
White’s “Gardening for the South” is $1.25, per mail, 
paid. Send us 95 cents more, and we will forward it. 
Distemper in Sheep— Grass, &c — H. H.— See Ran- 
dall’s “Sheep Plusbandry.” Use a mixture of Red and 
White Clover and Blue Grass— equal parts— and sow 
about a bushel.

ber, page 80,

wishes of a subscriber, we will give a list of all Southern 
Agricultural journals, with terms, place of publication,

I as we were going to press. 
1^^ Rarey’s “Horse Taming” has been mailed to ail 
who have applied for it, up to the 10th of March. If any 
have failed to reach their destination, we will cheerfully 
send them again.

Agricultural College of Michigan. — From a recent 
Report of the Board of education for the State of Michigan, 
we extract the follbwing paragraph, from which it will ap- 
pear that this experiment, so full of interest to every lover 
of industrial progress, is proving an eminent success ; 
“We have at present, accommodations for but sixty 
students ; but these are made by the necessities of the 
case, to answer for one hundred. The number of appli- 
cants, judging from experience, will exceed any accommo- 
dations the Institution will be likely to possess, exclusive 
of the numerous applications from other States. In our 
opinion, provisions should be made as soon as practicable, 
for the accommodation of a' least two hundred students; 
to do which some additional buildiugs will be required, 
and, also, an increased number of Professors.”
