MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
VISIT TO BOOST PLEASANT FARM. 
Eds. Rural: —A few days since I called on 
Mr. S. P. Chapman, Mount Pleasant Farm, 
Clockville, Madison Co., N. Y., for the pur¬ 
pose of examining his celebrated herd of 
“Short Horns.” I found Mr. Chapman a 
gentleman, in the true sense of the term. His 
intelligence and hospitality rendered my visit 
exceedingly satisfactory. He has on hand fif¬ 
teen thorough bred cattle, and expects five 
more calves. They are all red and white or 
red roan, except one, (“Dutchess”) which is a 
beautiful cream color. Mr. Chapman, and 
Mr. Vail, of Troy, imported from England, 
last season, four Bate’s heifers from the herd 
of Robert Bell, Esq. I have never before 
seen so many imported heifers together, and 
can truly say that I never saw a herd of such 
perfection of form and uniformity of appear¬ 
ance. 
Like the far-famed “Bakewell” sheep, in 
their peculiar formation and distinctive fea¬ 
tures, the Bates’ stock exhibit traces of high 
breeding, which cannot be too highly appre¬ 
ciated by such as are wishing to obtain ani¬ 
mals of undoubted purity of blood. It would 
be difficult to particularize where so much uni¬ 
formity exists. 
To my notion, Mr. C.’s “Ruby’s” were not 
in any essential particular inferior to bis im¬ 
ported stock, and it is my impression if' I 
could have a selection out of the herd, I should 
take one of Air. C.’s own raising. His cow 
“Charlotte,” although having the misfortune 
to have her hip dislocated at the Fair, last 
fall, exhibits a gracefulness and majesty rarely 
to be met with in an animal of so great weight. 
Her portrait, (although it docs not do her jus¬ 
tice) is so often seen in books that a descrip¬ 
tion is unnecessary. 
His prize bull “ITalton,” has a symmetry of 
form, a richness of color, an case and grace¬ 
fulness of motion, and a dignity of carriage 
joined to his groat weight and extra handling 
qualities, that I never saw excelled. 
I was somewhat disappointed, as I expected 
to find a herd of fat cattle. With the excep¬ 
tion of “Dutchess ” and “ Halton,” they were 
only in fair condition, and 1 saw other herds 
that I think eat more grain than Mr. C.’s. 
He has also a fine pair of Berkshire pigs 
from the stock of L. G. Morris, Esq., from im¬ 
ported stock on both sides. They are beauti¬ 
ful specimens of their race. He has also nine 
different breeds of fowls, including the cele¬ 
brated Brahma Pootras, and is making ar¬ 
rangements to import hens direct from China 
the present year. As he has a friend who has 
during a long season resided in that country 
who will select for him, his opportunities for 
procuring the best c’annot well be surpassed. 
As a climax to his poultry yard, he has two 
kinds of fancy pigeons,—the Ruffle Necks and 
Fan Tails. 
It has been said that “ he who makes two 
spires of grass grow where but one grew be¬ 
fore is a public benefactor;” and shall the same 
meed be withheld from him who spends time 
and money to introduce stock many times 
more valuable than that heretofore obtained? 
As we judge of almost every object by com¬ 
parison, I would advise all who are wishing to 
obtain superior animals or fowls, to ^ire Mr. 
Chapman a call, and if their entertainment is 
as agreeable as mine was, they will not regret 
it. D. W. Palmer.

CULTIVATION OP FLAX. 
Eds. Rural: —Being a constant reader of 
your valuable paper, I noticed a week or two 
since, an inquiry respecting raising flax, and 
your remarks upon it. Having formerly had 
considerable experience, and living in a neigh¬ 
borhood that for many years probably pro¬ 
duced more and better flax than any other 
place in the State, of the same dimensions, I 
thought I would forward a few remarks, al¬ 
though perhaps too late to be acted on this 
season. Our experience here leads Jo some¬ 
what different management from that you sug¬ 
gest. 
The year previous to sowing flax, we select 
a clean piece of sod, the older the better gen¬ 
erally, and cultivate in corn, manuring if not 
rich enough, and being particular to dress it 
very clean, leaving neither weeds nor grass.— 
The following spring plow as early as the soil 
will permit,and pulverize thoroughly; when in 
order, level with a harrow, sow on the seed 
and cover with a light thick brush. The seed 
should be very clean and plump. It is well to 
soak it and roll in plaster or lime, or both, and 
use from one to two bushels per acre, accord¬ 
ing to the strength of the soil and the purpose 
it is planted for. From three to twelve bush¬ 
els of ashes per acre at the time of sowing, are 
very beneficial. The earlier sown generally has 
the most and best coat or fibre, but sometimes 
not as much bulk. 
The cultivation is, however, almost entirely 
given up hereabouts, not because it is not a 
remunerating crop, when well managed, but 
the labor after sowing, is all of it very exhaust¬ 
ing and disagreeable, and when persons can 
obtain good wages at more pleasant labor, 
they will not work at it (- and 1 for one do not 
blame them. It is true, some part of it is of 
late done by machinery, but with more or less 
waste, according to the state of the fibre; and 
besides, it is a crop that requires great attention 
to keep it straight and even, and is more liable 
to waste from careless handling and inexperi¬ 
ence, than any other. 
You say 400 lbs. of flax to the acre is a 
good crop — I think 300 is good, and that 
the average on good soils, one year with anoth¬ 
er, will not exceed 250 lbs. and eight bushels 
of seed, though crops have been raised to reach 
as high as 500 to COO lbs. to the acre and 15 
bushels of seed. The greatest quantity of seed, 
however, generally accompanies the less or 
medium yield of fibre. 
Your correspondent has here the results of 
many year’s experience and hard labor, and if 
he and others feel disposed to stretch their 
backs in pulling, whipping and spreading flax 
for a livelihood, we wish them all joy and suc¬ 
cess. D.

MARL,—AGAIN. 
Messrs. Editors: —Since my former article, 
which appeared in the Rural of March 18th, 
on the subject of marl, I have received several 
letters of inquiry from individuals, asking for 
information as to thetesf mode of constructing 
kilns for burning it into lime, its value as a fer¬ 
tilizer, &c. With your permission, I will an¬ 
swer all through the columns of the Rural. 
A kiln, to be durable, should be made en¬ 
tirely of brick, but in localities where fire-proof 
stone can be obtained, they will answer, by 
being lined with brick. It should be built 
small, capable of holding only about 200 or 
300 bushels; can be built square or round, with 
one arch, to extend entirely through the kiln 
from side to side, thus making two mouths, one 
on each side. 
After the marl has been moulded into 
brick, and all dried, the kiln can be filled, 
taking care to lay them neatly and regularly.. 
Commence burning with one mouth of the arch 
closed. After burning eighteen or twenty 
hours, change the fire to the other mouth, and 
close the one first used. Ordinarily thirty- 
six hours only is required to make ready for 
market a most splendid article of lime. If any 
one wishes to drive the business energetically, 
let him build two kilns, and while one is burn¬ 
ing make ready the other, in the same manner 
as the first 
In regard to its value as a fertilizer, several 
letters from men in Western New York and 
Pennsylvania, as well as Michigan, have been 
received, asking for information as to the best 
manner of applying marl to the soil in its raw 
or natural state. It seems that some have ap¬ 
plied it to their soil, but could discover no 
beneficial effects. To such I would say: your 
soil is rich enough, or else it is already strong¬ 
ly impregnated with lime, probably the latter, 
and a fertilizer of a different nature is required. 
Probably the best mode of applying it to 
poor land, is to cart it on in the fall or winter, 
as the action of the frost benefits it; by slacken¬ 
ing and rendering it perfectly fine. In lime¬ 
stone sections, a large proportion of muck 
mixed with the marl, will perhaps prove better 
than all of cither. On grass lands, it can be 
spread when first carted. This too should be 
done in the full, and a light harrowing in the' 
spring \\ill prove beneficial. Clover is greatly 
benefited by an application of marl, more 
especially after one year’s growth. After be¬ 
ing burnt, marl can lie used in all cases, the 
same as common stone-lime. 
If I have not answered all inquiries, I will do 
so to the best of my ability, on being informed.

ASHES FOR CORN. 
I have found, by experiment, that ashes 
are to be preferred to plaster for corn. Last 
year I planted a few acres of corn upon a patch 
of ground that I did not consider strong enough 
to produce a large crop without some artificial 
manure. I had a few bushels of plaster which 
I put upon the corn as far as it would go. I 
then skipped a few rows, and upon the re¬ 
mainder put unleached ashes (a small handful 
to the hill.) The result was, that the corn 
upon which I put nothing was not so good as 
that upon which I put plaster, and that upon 
which I put plaster not as good as that on 
which I put ashes. As the soil was as nearly 
alike as possible, the same quality of seed 
planted at the same time, receiving the same 
care, I can account for the difference in no 
other way than by reasoning that plaster is 
better than nothing, and ashes better than 
plaster. c. l. n.

Large Turnip. —Mr. Charles AY. Thomp¬ 
son, of Topsham, has sent us a monster turnip, 
the weight of which, with top, when gathered, 
was 34i pounds, the top weighing 10 pounds. 
Its present weight is only a few ounces short 
of 20 pounds, having shrunk about five pounds 
in weight since it was pulled. It girts 31 
inches, and stands 17 \ inches, “in its stockings.”

NEATNESS AND ORDER IN FARMING. 
Neat be your farms ; ’tis long confessed 
The neatest farmers are the best, 
F.ach bog and marsh industrious drain, 
Nor let vile balks deform the plain; 
No bushes on your headlands grow, 
Nor briers a sloven’s culture show. 
Neat he your barns, your houses neat, 
Your doors he clean, your houses neat, 
No moss the sheltering roof enshroud, 
No wooden panes the window cloud, 
No filthy kennels foully flow, 
Nor weeds with rankling poison grow ; 
But shades expand, and fruit frees bloom, 
And (lowering shrubs exhale perfume. 
"With pails, your garden circle round ; 
Defend, enrich, and clean the ground ; 
Prize high this pleasing, useful rood, 
And fill with vegetable good. 
Let order o’er your lime preside, 
And method all your business guide. 
Early begin and end your toil, 
Nor let your tasks your hands embroil; 
One thing at once be still begun, 
Contrived, resolved, puisued and d6ne. 
Hire not for what yourselves can do; 
And send not when yourselves can go; 
Nor till to-morrow's light delay 
What might as well be done to-day 
By steady efforts all men thrive, 
And long by' moderate labor live; 
"While eager toil and anxious cure, 
Health, strength, and peace, and life impair. 
Nor think a life of toil severe; 
No life has blessings so sincere : 
Its meals so luscious, sleep so sweet, 
Such vigorous limbs, such health complete; 
No mind so active, brisk and gay 
As his who toils the livelong day. 
A life of sloth drags hardly on ; 
Suns set too late aud rise too soon. 
Youth, manhood, age, all linger slow 
To him who nothing has to do. 
The drone, a nuisance to the hive, 
Stays, but can scarce be said to live ; 
And well the bees, those judges wise, 
Plague, chase, aud sting him till he dies. 
TRY THE EXPERIMENT. 
A recent number of the Granite Farmer, 
quotes an experiment from the Rhode Island 
Agricultural Transactions, in which Mr. S. B. 
Haliday, of Providence, himself a dealer in 
artificial manures, used six bushels of salt, and 
500 lbs. of Marks’ improved superphosphate 
of lime per acre, and obtained 160 bushels of 
potatoes per acre on land which “ was in 
nothing more than tolerable heart” This is a 
great triumph for M apes’ manure, and the 
Farmer exullingly says:—“Now if such culti¬ 
vation will produce such results, we advise our 
farmers to adopt it. * * We advise our 
readers to try the experiment. * * If 
special manures produce such results, it is 
high time all our farmers knew the fact—as 
there must be advantage and profit in their 
use.” 
We will just add for the benefit of any of 
our New Hampshire readers who may wish to 
“ try the experiment,’ that superphosphate can 
be had by application at the Granite Farmer 
office, at the exceedingly low price of $70 per 
ton. So, at least, we learn from a standing ed¬ 
itorial notice in the Farmer. Everything is 
convenient, friends; just hand over the $70 and 
“ try the experiment.” It is true that in Mr. 
Haliday’s trial, we are not informed how much 
the soil produced without manure, and that 
160 bushels of potatoes per acre is not the 
largest crop on record, yet, “ try the experi¬ 
ment,” for if you don’t make money by it, Mapes 
and his agents will. It might be well to ob¬ 
serve that we have repeatedly tried the experi¬ 
ment, and can confidently assert that, with a 
good superphosphate at the reasonable price 
of $30 per ton, the increase, in no case, paid 
the cost of the manure, and generally the su¬ 
perphosphate did no good on potatoes. 
Great Corn Crop. —One of our English ex¬ 
changes, the Farmers' Herald, copied a short 
article, with this heading, from the Rural. — 
Whereupon, one of its correspondents, who 
has “lived in a great corn district for 30 years,” 
declares his firm conviction that some great 
mistake has been made, and that so much corn 
never grew on an acre of land. Will the Her¬ 
ald please inform its correspondent, that we, 
here in the backwoods of America, do not, as 
he does, call wheat, corn. By corn, is meant 
Indian corn— zea maize. One hundred bush- 
eis per acre, is not a very uncommon crop, and 
there are well authenticated instances where 
160 bushels per acre have been obtained. 
By the by, will the editor of the Herald 
oblige us by sending us another copy of his pa¬ 
per, directed to “Wool Grower,” Darien, (Jen 
see Co., N. Y., U. S. 
New York State Fair.— In consequence 
of the State Fair being held in New York, 
the American Institute will hold no fair the 
present year. They will hold a fair in connec¬ 
tion with the State Fair, and will appropriate 
$1,000 to be expended in premiums, one-half 
of which is to be paid back to them out of the 
receipts of the fair. 
The common Council of New York, tender¬ 
ed the Society the use of Hamilton Square, 
containing 18 acres. The committee appointed 
to examine the grounds, have reported favora¬ 
bly, and the lair will be held there on the 3d, 
4th, 5th and 6th of October. 
SUCKERING CORN. 
G. Blight Browne, Esq.,in an excellent arti¬ 
cle in the Plough, Loom, and Anvil, on the 
history and growth of Indian corn, concludes 
as follows with respect to suckering : 
Suckers (properly speaking^ take rise from 
the stalk below the ground, and are capable 
under some circumstances to become complete 
plants, producing stalk, tassel and silk; and, no 
doubt, if the climate would favor the enterprise, 
would bear ears. In the natural climate of the 
maize, grown on a soil undrained of its fertility 
by husbandry, and in the natural state, unim¬ 
proved by cultivation and art, it. may be able 
lo furnish to the sucker, or second growth, suf¬ 
ficient nutriment to bring it to maturity. But 
in our climate, and limited by one short season, 
no such result must be expected. Maize has 
been by cultivation much enlarged in the grain, 
and a greater number of grains tire found on the 
cob of our cultivated varieties, than originally 
grew on the natural plant. The great desider¬ 
atum of the Northern farmer is to make his 
corn in the allotted time, and to have his crop 
well matured before our early frosts. AYe have 
usually no time to lose, and there can be no 
doubt that any treatment which would retard 
the maturing of the ear, would not be a good 
one. 
Shoots from the nodes above ground cannot 
do much, if any harm, to the plants, because 
they are soon arrested in their growth. T he 
stripping of these shoots will occasion a very 
bad wound, and is calculated to do more in¬ 
jury than good. 
The case is very different with the under¬ 
ground shoots or suckers. They derive their 
sap from the roots of the parent plant, and con¬ 
sequently divert the supply, at a moment when 
it is most needed to a.-sist in procreation, then 
going on in the parent plant. Nothing should 
be allowed to interfere with this function, sis 
the early maturing of the seed depends on the 
vigor with which this process is prosecuted. 
Therefore, on the whole, 1 should couclude 
that the shoots or suckers which start from the 
nodes above ground, should not be removed; 
and those which have their origin below ground 
should be removed. 
--- 
STEEPING SEEDS. 
Soaking seeds in liquids before planting 
them, has been practiced with more or less ad¬ 
vantage. Germination may be considerably 
hastened simply by immersing the seed twenty- 
four hours in water at a temperature of sixty- 
five to seventy degrees. By this means a crop 
may be forwarded" in growth several days.— 
Where seeding has been delayed a gain may 
thus be effected of no small consequence.— 
When the soil is in a moist state, the soaked 
seed will come up with as much certainty as if 
put in the ground dry; but if the soil is vary 
dry, there is a risk with seed in which germina¬ 
tion has commenced. The dry earth may ab¬ 
sorb the moisture of the seed, thus causing a 
shrinkage which weakens or destroys its vitali¬ 
ty. AYe should therefore be cautious about 
soaking seeds in time of severe drouth. 
But other advantages have been claimed in 
regard to soaking seeds. It has been held 
that the growth of crops may be stimulated 
and the final yield increased by steeping seeds 
in solutions of various substances. This sub¬ 
ject received much attention several years ago. 
Some persons carried the idea so far as to 
claim that seeds could be so doctored that 
bountiful crops might be produced without 
any other manure, even in the most sterile soil. 
Different kinds of sleeps were invented, and 
quacks and charlatans sold the recipes for mak¬ 
ing them to people who had more credulity 
than judgment. 
'Flic substances chiefly employed for this 
purpose were nitrate of soda, nitrate of potash 
(salt petre,) muriate of ammonia (salammoniac,) 
sulphate of ammonia, &c. Ammonical liquor, 
which is produced by the distillation of coal in 
the manufacture of gas, has also been used as 
a steep for seeds, liannam, in his Essay on 
Waste manures, describes this liquid as “ an 
impure solution of the carbonate of ammonia 
and is the very gas which is evolved during 
the decomposition of animal substances, and 
which escapes from our manure-heaps during 
fermentation.” The results of soaking seeds in 
this liquor, have sometimes been highly favor¬ 
able. A gentleman who made some experi¬ 
ments with it, ten years since, stated to the 
writer that corn and oats soaked in the liquor 
thirty hours before planting, showed a broader 
and greener leaf, produced larger heads and 
ears, and yielded twenty per cent, more than 
that with no application—the treatment being 
in all other respects similar. 
The effect of all these substances, however, 
appears to have been various, and to have 
been governed in some instances by unknown 
causes. In general, the preference after re¬ 
peated trials, was given to muriate of ammo¬ 
nia. Indian corn appeared to derive consider¬ 
able advantage from a solution prepared near¬ 
ly as follows: 
An ounce of muriate of ammonia is dissolved 
in sufficient water to cover a quart of corn— 
the corn to remain in the solution twenty-four 
to thirty-six hours, at a temperature of sixty- 
five degrees. <■ 
AVhen planted, it may be “dried off” by 
mixing plaster or dry sand with it till the 
grains will readily separate, either in dropping 
by hand or with a seed drill. As it is advisa¬ 
ble in all cases to ascertain the precise result 
in any experiment, the prepared seed might be | 
planted in alternate rows, or lots of the same 
extent with others to which the solution was 
not applied—the soil and cultivation being as 
• nearly alike as possible. Let the proudet of 
the different lots be carefully weighed and com¬ 
pared, and the result will indicate the value of 
the solution .—Boston Cultivator. 
Practical Hints. —Never allow ashes to be 
taken up in wood, or put into wood. Always 
have your matches and lamp ready for use in 
case of sudden alarm. Have important papers 
- all together, where you can lay your hand on 
them at once, in ease of fire. 
FARMING PROSPECTS. 
The warm sunshine of this week, especially 
of Tuesday, acting upon a soil saturated with 
warm rains, has given a sudden impulse to 
vegetation in t his quarter, so that the change 
from bare boughs to green foliage is almost 
magical. Yet, as every season in its turn is 
said to present some features unparalleled in the 
memory of “the oldest inhabitant,” so we do not 
remember a predecessor so backward, up to the 
middle of May, as this of 1854. The Apple- 
tree, in Westchester county, was not fairly in 
blossom before the 14th or 15th of May, 
which is the average of its blossoming in Mas¬ 
sachusetts; the peach was a few days earlier. 
There will have been more oats sown this year 
between our city and the Highlands after the 
8th of may than before—a fact unprecedented 
since 1836. On the 15th of May, not half the 
grass land hereabouts destined lo bear Indian 
Corn this season had yet been broken up— 
and there will lie much yet implanted on the 
25th. Fifty miles above our City, the rain of 
the 15th was accompanied by hail, which did 
much damage to the blossoming fruit. The 
earth is still saturated with water, rendering the 
plowing of moist land difficult and not very 
effective. 
Farmers who have yet to plant or sow grain 
ought to soak their seed to the verge of 
sprouting,—(if Indian corn, two or three oun¬ 
ces of nitre dissolved in each pailful of soak¬ 
ing water is said to be excellent)—roll dry in 
plaster, and plant immediately. Guano, phos¬ 
phate, superphosphate, poudrette, and other 
stimulating manures, should be applied to 
hasten and increase the growth of the crops.—

SMUT IN WHEAT. 
Georoe H. Northam gives in the Southern 
Planter, the following account of experiments 
made by him in regard to the prevention of 
smut in wheat: 
Lot No. 1. One bushel of wheat sowed 
without either brining or liming, with one hun¬ 
dred and fifty pounds of Peruvian guano to the 
acre. 'Flic yield, thirteen bushels, had the smut 
very bad. 
Lot No. 2. One bushel, brined and limed, 
and sowed with one hundred and fifty pounds 
of Peruvian guano. Yield, fifteen bushels per 
acre. This lot had some little smut, but noth¬ 
ing like as bad us No. 1, which I think losttwo 
bushels in smut 
Lot No. 3. One bushel brined, but not limed, 
and sowed with one hundred and fifty pounds 
of Peruvian guano. Yield, ten bushels. About 
one-third of this lot was smut. 
Lot No. 4. One bushel washed in clear 
spring water, and then limed, sowed with one 
hundred and fifty pounds of guano. Yield, 
eighteen bushels. This did not have the smut 
at all. 
On all these lots the wheat was the same; 
the growth equally vigorous on them all.— 
The result of my experiments is, as will bo seen, 
in favor of the lime. The spring water was 
only used to wet the grains iu order to make the 
lime adhere to them. 
To keep AYorms from Seed Corn. — To 
prevent worms from eating into seed corn Jit¬ 
ter it is planted is almost a hopeless task; and 
the remedy that one man finds serviceable, an¬ 
other will tell you has no effect. Corn stc eped 
in moderately strong tobacco water, and then 
rolled in plaster before planting, has been 
found to sutler but little from the cut worm.— 
Some have tried tarring their seed, or steeping 
it for a short time iu tar water, and then roll¬ 
ing it in plaster. In using tar, care must be 
taken not to let the water be strong enough to 
injure the vitality of the seed, which it will do. 
The mere odor of the tar on the seed is suffi¬ 
cient to keep the worms off.— Mich. Farmer. 
Inquiries anir ‘^nstoers. 
Black Paint. —Please inform me what are 
the ingredients of Black Paint, and also the 
manner of mixing. — G. AY. A., Murray, N. Y. 
The ingredients of black paint, are lamp¬ 
black, linseed oil, Japan and spirits of turpen¬ 
tine. The relative proportions of the ingredi¬ 
ents depends’ much on the purpose the paint is 
desired for. On out-door work, the propor¬ 
tions usually are two thirds oil, and one third 
spirits of turpentine, or sometimes oil alone is 
used. For in-doors, there must be a greater 
proportion of spirits of turpentine, say half 
boiled oil, and half spirits of turpentine. For 
fine work, add a tenth to a twentieth part of 
Japan. It causes the paint to dry quicker, 
and gives the work a harder and better finish. 
It is somewhat difficult to mix. Stir it up 
thoroughly in a thick state, thinning it after¬ 
wards as you require. For fine work, it should 
be ground on a stone or in a paint mill. 
Osagf. Orange. —Will you please to give mo 
some information about the cultivation of Osage 
Orange seed? how to be planted, tfce.? I sent 
for and received a package of seed from Roches¬ 
ter without any direction for culture.—AV. II., 
York, A. Y., May 16/A 
The seed should be soaked for at least ten 
days or a fortnight before planting. Soft 
water is best, and it should be changed every 
day. AVhile the seeds arc soaking, will not 
some of our correspondents give our friend a 
few practical hints on the subject of his inqui¬ 
ry? _

learn if there is anything at Rochester in the 
shape of a wheel hoe for weeding onions or root 
crops, to be used either by horse or hand power?
