MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.

tiurn aquatic-urn, Hypoxis aquatica, Byblisliniflora, 
(blue,) Drosera bioata, Menyanthes Americana, Vil- 
tarsia lacunosa, and ovaw, cum mult it alas, are all 
beautiful ornaments to the greenhouse aquarium.” 
Another form of the Aquarium, and the one 
which will afford the most pleasure, and will be 
more generally adopted, because within the means, 
and better suited to the circumstances of the 
masses, is that designed for the parlor, and of 
which we give an engraving. It is simply a large 
glass vessel, Boaiewbftt res°mbling a fish-globe, 
though it may be made of any form and material, 
and filled with living plants as well as fish, Arc., 
whose natural operations render the change of 
water unnecessary. Thia fact enables persons of 
taste to give to this minature lake all the beauties 
of the fresh water pond, creating a water garden 
at borne beautifully radiant with both animate 
aud inanimate life. Where salt water is used, the 
plants, shell and other fi9h of the ocean, can be 
used with very fine effect. For fresh water, a lit¬ 
tle marsh earth mnst be placed at the bottom, and 
for salt water, sand and gravel. By introducing a 
piece of rough stone, extending to the top of the 
water, and covering it with swamp muck, the 
marsh plants may be easily grown. 
BUBAL BOTES FBOM CATTARAUGUS. 
Eds. Bubal:— I am at one of the pleasant rnrsl 
homes of this peaceful region—a neat house far 
up the southern slope of a hill, with well-filled 
barns and fruit laden orchard around it. All be¬ 
speaks cheerful abundance, the reward of busy 
industry,—“the glorious privilege of being inde¬ 
pendent,” as Burns, the peasant-bard of Scotland, 
so fitly termed the competency wou by honest, 
manly and womanly toil. I wish you could sit by 
this window and look out, over the broad, undula 
ting expanse of green pastures, forests clad in the 
gorgeouB and richly varied livery of Autumn, broad 
hills swelling upward, sharper mouatain peaks 
dim and blue far South; the whole bathed in the 
rich, soft haze of this beautiful October alternoon. 
Farm houses here and there, and the spires of the 
village in the distance, tell of life, and cheerful 
labor. Herds of cows graze in the green pastures, 
the whistle of a steam engine rings shrill and loud 
up the valley, telling how the “Wizard of the 
Nineteenth Century” is doing men good service. 
Westward the golden light of the declining sun 
pourB glorious brightness over a wide expanse of 
field and forest, — over the grand hill tops, down 
through wide valleys, the earth seems flooded with 
its pervading radiance, 
It would do you good to be here an hour: you 
would go baok to your busy office a stronger 
and happier man— all the better fitted to go on re¬ 
joicing in your worthy work of spreading knowl¬ 
edge of the first and oldest Art over the land. 
This is a dairying town some fifteen miles north 
of the Erie Rail road. Spring wheat is raised much 
more than formerly, and yields well. The soil is 
good, the hills not, too rough to be tilled to their 
very summits. Apples thrive well; it is too high 
ground for the peach. 
I passed through Rashfoid (seven miles east) in 
coming here—a pleasant village amidst an excel¬ 
lent country. As you go southward the hills are 
sharper, the valleys warmer, hut the soil good 
and the farmers doing well. 1 was at East Otto 
some days since, in the western part of the county 
— a pleasant village In ft rich and cultivated val¬ 
ley. Also at Cattaraugus, a Btation on the railroad 
south of Of to. The passer-by on the cars looks 
far down 0 rough the trees into A narrow valley. 
Steep hills covered with a heavy growth of tall 
trees rise like walls of towering verdure and reach 
away to the north. The busy village is the point 
at which some three hundred miles of country 
centre as an outlet to the road,—and here, through 
several level valleys, arc brought the farm pro¬ 
ducts for the distant cities. 
The past year some 1,200 tuns of cheese, worth 
over $200,000, were sent away, beside large quanti¬ 
ties of butter. At Eddyville ib a factory at which 
some 1,200 cheeee boxeB are yearly made. There 
are several others in the vicinity. 
But I must Btop, only suggesting by way of a 
“ closing improvement” — as the old ministers in 
New England used to say, in their sermons in my , 
childhood, after having gone through with the 
many “heads” of a discourse—when you can get 
away some Bummer day, or in pleasant October, go 
among the Cattaraugus hills, breathe pure air, see 
glorious landscapes, and find some men and wo¬ 
men., G. B. S.

SORGHUM WILL SUCCEED I 
Friend Rural:— Seeing the article in the Ru¬ 
ral of October 3, headed “ Sorghumanis,” on 
the subject of “ syrup” making, I beg leave to give 
a little of my Sorghum experience. It may not be 
uninteresting to yonr numerous readers, if it 
should be to “ W. B. P.,” who evidently labors un¬ 
der one species of “ mania” himself. We do not 
boast of going into it on so magnificent a scale as 
did our Pittsburgh friend—by the “table spoon 
ful”—yet we have some of the “ thick syrup,” the 
genuine “critter,” which we have actually made 
and “accurately ascertained by boiling.” We 
have obtained two and a half gallons of the “ clear 
quill” from 400 stalks. It is of good quality, and 
a “prime article” for culinary purposes. We 
speak knowingly, for we have tested it in pies, 
cakes, &c., and it answers the purpose equal to the 
best “ New Orleans”—and for buokwheat cakes it 
" can’t be boat” The yield is about 200 gallons to 
the acre. 
“ How to express the juice from the cane is juBt 
now the question,” friend W. B. P. exclaims. If he 
will just make a “ real Shanghai run” to these 
“digging,” he can have the privilege of examin. 
ing a cruBher bulit by E. Nothrup, of Harpers, 
ville, with three rollers, one foot in length and al¬ 
most the same in diameter, through which the 
cane passes twice—catching 15 gallons of the juice 
in 17 minutee, the juice running into a tub sepa. 
rate from the stalk. Although rudely constructed, 
being the first effort, wc think a look at it might 
materially relieve the “importunate cry” that 
.'comes from ali quarters,” 
Now, if out “Sorghum” friend does really feci 
so indignantly horrified at the “ speculator’s de¬ 
cree,” of which we know nothing and care still 
less, his “table Rpoonful” of “ clear quill” shall be 
expressed “Boot free,” And as an additional in | 
ducement we warrant him (after tasting the sam¬ 
ples made by different individuals, varying from 
three quarts to 20 gallons each, at said mill, 
amounting in all to 150 gallons of the “thick syr¬ 
up,”) that some things can be done as well as 
others, and should nothis disease relapse, be would 
ultimately recover from his sympathetic situation. 
Another item, the great “quantity of crushers ad¬ 
vertised in the market cbeap, at $40 to $00 each,” 
does not apply to our case, for this machine will 
cost, “money out ,” $3. The remainder of the 
work can be done by any one, with a few tools, and 
were it all to be valued at “cash price,” wouldnot 
exceed $20, and you have a mill that will crush as 
fast as “ my wile's rolling pin.” Furthermore, we 
will agree to supply him with seed matured in this 
“ high latitude” this season, backward as it has 
been, “/rer,” enffl -ient for another whittling —that 
Is, if be should not prefer “tapping.” 
The result of thia season’s experience in grow¬ 
ing Sugar Cane and makiugsyrup therefrom, is so 
satisfactory to the people of this section, that we 
are willing to " mako fools of ourselves,” and con 
sequenily are making preparations to plant it ex¬ 
tensively the coming Bpring. That it can be raise d 
“successfully and profitably,” I have not the least 
doubt. We do not compose “the more timid,” 
who “will wait and buy crushers, evaporators, &c., 
second handed,” but feel perfectly resigned to take 
part in the “fan” the “people want,” and certain¬ 
ly, as far ns we are concerned, will wilh pleasure 
“ pay the bill.” 1 readily admit that it cannot be 
grown successfully on pour, worn-out land, neither 
can Indian corn. But where fcood corn can be 
raised, the Chinese Sugar Cane can be grown 
profitably—“ W. B. P.” with his reversion of “nat¬ 
ural laws,” “frost king,” aud “prophetic ken” t,o 
tha contrary notwithstanding.

HUNGARIAN GRABS. 
Eds. Rural:— You will excuse me for troubling 
you with a few paragraphs on a topic that I con¬ 
ceive to be of real importance to agriculturists 
and all directly or indirectly concerned in their 
prosperily, which wonld include, I apprehend, that 
vast concourse, “ all the world, and the rest of 
mankind.” 
The subject. Of which I design writing is a pecu¬ 
liar kind of gross introduced into thia neighbor¬ 
hood some four years since. Thia product, from 
its being brought here by that band of Hungarian 
exiles, w ho, under Ujhazy, settled iu Decatur Co., 
is called Hungarian grass. This much of its 
“ pedigre ” will suffice. I will, in a very few words, 
state its commendable qualities, now well estab¬ 
lished, after a fair and thorough trial. 
1st- This grass will yield from three to seven 
tuna per acre, according to soil and season. A 
fair average crop on ordinary soil and fair season 
is four tuns per acre. 
2d. Its nutritious qualities are not excelled by 
any product now in use as provender for any kind 
of stock. Cattle, horses, hogs, and sheep, all de¬ 
vour it with great avidity and relish. In fact they 
will leave most other articles of food, when op¬ 
portunity offers to get this grass. 
3d. The yield of seed (which is said to be of 
njne-h value for the manufactore of oi') is very 
gTeat. It yields a crop of seed ranging from 
twenty to forty bushels per acre, Boil and season 
favorable. 
These facts, which can he ineontestibly estab¬ 
lished by the evidence of hundreds of the worthiest 
farmers in this portion of lows, are what has given 
this grass so great a popularity throughout this 
and adjoining States. Two years ago every one 
seemed to regard it as a doubtful experiment, but 
each succeeding year has won for it new and bet¬ 
ter commendations. This se&Bon it has won im¬ 
mensely on the good opinions of all acquainted 
with it. It is almost a stranger to failures. It but 
wants a trial to speedily supplant all other kinds 
of provender for stock. The stalks and blades are 
rich in saccharine juices, while the seed is among 
the very richest grains grown in this or any other 
country. For Iowa thiB grasB will be of almost, in¬ 
calculable value. The elevated prairies are very 
unfavorable to the production of the grasses or¬ 
dinarily relied upon for winter food for stock.— 
None of theBC last do well in this soil, and conse¬ 
quently can never be relied on here. But the 
Hungarian grass is a highly satisfactory substitute, 
I am fully impressed with the conviction that 
your readers who know nothing personally of the 
production of which I am speaking, will regard 
what I have said as a rather gassy as well as grassy 
article, but I am conscious that my statements can 
be fully substantiated by the testimony of the 
great bulk of farmers hereabouts, and their state¬ 
ments will receive the confirmation of all theloufers, 
lawyers, doctors, preachers, honest men, and boys 
in the country. 
About four years ago this grass began to be cul¬ 
tivated in this county as an article of provender, 
by two or t ree farmers who had got hold of the 
seed. Now nearly every farmer in the county ia 
raising as much of it as he can got the seed to sow 
and ground to put it in. In fact numbers of mer¬ 
chants and gentlemen engaged in other business 
iu this vicinity have actually turned their attention, 
to a considerable extent, to raising this article of 
food for Block. Quite a number, whom I could 
name, last spring hired all the ground they could 
come at and bought seed tt> sow it at. $4, and even 
$6, per bushel. The result is, they get, generally, 
about five tuns per acre of the best of hay, worth 
$G per tun, as a remuneration for this singular 
venture. A pretty fair compensation for so small 
an outlay of labor and capital. This grass is an 
annual, requiring to be sown each season, it will 
yield two crops per year on the same ground, in 
this latitude, but this is generally thought to be too 
exhausting to the soil. At, the solicitation of a 
friend, I have been induced to give you these sim¬ 
ple facta in relation to this article of agricultural 
production, with a view to advance the interest of 
a most aaeful class of our fellow citizens, the farm- 
eis, by bringing to their notice, in the older 
States, an article that needs only to be known to 
be universally appreciated as the best reliance for 
food for all kinds of stock raised on the farm.

STEUBEN COUNTY PAIR 
The Steuben Co. Fair —held at Bath, Sept, 
SO b, and Oct. 1st and 2d,—had an inauspicious 
sorsou, it being cloady, cold, and positively and 
decidedly wet the whole time. The receipts were 
a little over $700, or less tliantwo-lhirds what they 
otherwise wonld have been. Only in the Ladies’ 
Department did the Bhow excel burner ones, and 
here the improvement was marked. Samples of 
sugar cane syrup, of Steuben manufacture, were 
exhibited by T. M. Younglqys, of Urbana, which 
self-constiiu’ed tastiug committees pronounced 
good, or as having a “pumpkin taste,” as they 
severally jugked. The writer proposes to keep 
out of any controversy on that point. A plowing 
match with ox teams came off the second and 
last days, the honored President of the Society, 
Judge Balcom, of Painted Post, being one of the 
competitors. I hope Borne favor was gained to¬ 
wards this most profitable and economical farm 
team. 
The Annual Address was given by S. H. Ham¬ 
mond, Esq., late of Albany. His political history 
had led the writer .o suppose that he was at home 
any where or upon any subject; but he avowed that 
he was not a farmer, bad never grown so much as 
an acre of corner potatoes in his life; bnt he gave, 
notwithstanding, a capital speech, sound in sug¬ 
gestion and elegant in diction, which will soon ap¬ 
pear from t e press. 
The Fair closed with a “Festival,” (I did not 
hear of any horse “ shows,”) said to be a brilliant 
success, bat of which the writer knows nothing, 
not being “ticketed ” thereto. A torch light pro¬ 
cession by the Bath and Dansville Fire Compa¬ 
nies—Band and Martial muric—and, (I grieve to 
say) some little forgetfulness of the aim of tbe 
existing Excise statute, were accompaniments 
throughout. w. b. p.

BURYING POTATOES. 
_ • 
Eds. Rural: —As the potato rot has made its 
appearance again this year, I think it the duty of 
every farmer to do all that he can to save his crop, 
and, therefore, give my mode of burying them, 1 
put from twenty to twenty-five bushels in a hole, 
and place strips of boards over the pit, in the 
form of rafters, the two first ones nailed at the 
top—being careful to keep the rafters a little from 
the potatoes—and then put on straw enough to 
shed all w et that might leak through, finishing by 
putting on dirt. It will need less dirt than the 
nsnal mode—the straw will absorb all vapor that 
arises from them—and the air confined will pre¬ 
vent them from freezing. I have buried my pota¬ 
toes in this way for the last ten years, and have not 
lost ten bushels by frost. To prove this method, 
a few years ago I pat, equal bushels in two holes, 
putting rafters on one, and not on the other—the 
quantity of dirt, as near alike as I could—aud the 
result was the one with rafters kept the crop nice 
hd d dry, while the others were much frozen. Old, 
refuse boards or slabs are as good for this pur¬ 
pose as any. If a fanner has no cellar, he can 
use out of a pit thus made, it wilt not fall in and 
will furnish a temporary storage place. To bury 
turnips and tbe like, I preler a long hole, as they 
are most spt to heat. h. l.

CROPS IN KANE CO., ILL. 
Eds, Rural.— Having noticed at, different times 
individuals speaking of their crops in various lo¬ 
calities, I thought a few words from Kane Co., Ill., 
would not come amiss. We have had aremaika- 
ble summer; it has been cool, healthy, and at the 
same time a growing season. The crop of wheat 
ia good as far as can be ascertained from what has 
been threshed in this vicinity. The yield ia twen¬ 
ty to thirty bushels to the acre. Oats are very 
good. One of my neighbors threshed what he 
raised from thirty bushels sown, and had 900 bush 
els thresher’s measure. I think there wonld be 
1,000 bushels by weight, for they are very plump 
and heavy. Barley is good and the yield varies 
from twenty-five to forty bushels to the acre. Corn 
is doing well. If we should not have frost for the 
next six or ten days, it will be a good crop. Buck¬ 
wheat, as a general thing, is ready to ent, and is a 
good crop. Potatoes, for quantity or quality, can ■ 
not te bent Grass is good. Frnit, such os cur¬ 
rants, gooseberries, cherries aud apples, is quite 
plenty and of nice quality. I think if there is a 
State in the Union where the people should hold 
a day of rejoicing for the many blessings received, 
it should be Illinois.—H. II., St. Charles, Kane Co., 
III., Sept., 1857.

SAVE THE BONES. 
Are bones worth saving for manure ? If so they 
should not be given to such useless animals aB dogs 
to waste, bat be taken directly from the cook room 
to a box or barrel placed in a dry out house and 
deposited in dry ashes. Keep adding bones and 
ashes until the latter part of winter, then, at some 
leisure time, empty them into some convenient 
place end pound them fine. Then wet the mass bo 
ms to make it quite moist. Shovel it over occa¬ 
sionally for a few days, and add to the compoBt 
heap when the bones are pretty well eaten up.— 
Old Gardener, Sept , 1857. 
A Pea Story —Is thus pleasantly related by Mr. 
A. 11. Bullock, of North Almond:—“I suppose 
that your farmers ‘out north’ are rather in the 
habit of looking down upon Allegany, and as one 
who ia considered ‘below par’ seldom boasts of 
bia accomplishments, we Alleganians rarely at¬ 
tempt bragging iu the Rural. But a certain pea 
has produced so bountifully here with ub this sea¬ 
son, that I want to have the exploit ‘put in the 
paper,’ and then see whether anybody ‘out north’ 
can tell a bigger story, although 1 am aware that 
he who tells last is supposed to have a great ad¬ 
vantage. A neighbor of mine, 8. L. Dunning, not 
long since brought from his field, for my inspec¬ 
tion, one pea vine haviDg several brandies, (be calls 
it, T think, the ‘Brunch Pea,’) on which were one 
hundred and twenty-five pods, containing seven 
hundred and fifty peas! That pea he thinks a 
‘ good breeder,’ hard to beat, and if any of your 
correspondents can tell of one that has ‘shelled 
out’ more liberally, iu these ‘ tight times,’ he will 
‘try again.’ ” 
Plural loirs anil Items. 
The Chinese Sugar Cane has succeeded much 
better in many sections of tbe country than was 
anticipated, considering the unfavorable season. 
We are receiving, and seeing in exchange papers, 
accounts of its successful culture, and the manu¬ 
facture of syrup, in almost every State in the 
Union. If it has been comparatively successful at 
the North, in such an unfavorable season as tbe 
past, it is worthy of farther and perhaps more ex¬ 
tensive trial. We fear the instances of failure, 
however, have not been recorded, while those in 
which favorable results have been attained, are re¬ 
ceiving wide publicity. Give us both sides, gen¬ 
tlemen experimenters—for the people must have 
the failures as well as successes, in order to judge 
fairly and nnderstandingly before making prepara; 
tions for another season’s operations. 
The Indiana State Fair, which was concluded 
at Indianapolis, on Friday, St.h inst., is reported to 
have been thoroughly and entirely successful, 
The total number of cutties was 3,713, or 613 more 
than last year, while the exhibition generally was 
much superior. Friday was the great day of the 
Fair, some 40,000 people beiHg present, and the 
receipts at the gates amounting to $8,000. The 
receipts of the previous day were $4,000. The 
surplus receipts are said to be sufficient to pay for 
a splendid amphitheatre which the Society con¬ 
templates erecting next season. 
The Michigan State Fair, held at Detroit the 
last of Sept, and 1st and 2d of October, was not as 
complete nor largely attended as Borne previous 
exkibitioDB, on account of the very inclement 
weather. The exhibition was, however, creditable 
in the principal departments, and gave evidence 
of improvement in Stock Breeding, and the intro¬ 
duction and manufacture of Implements, Ac. The 
show of Cattle ia said to have been good, the 
Short horns and Devons predominating. There 
was a fine display of Horses, including several 
attractive Black Hawks from Northern New York 
and Vermont An address was delivered by San : 
FORD Howard, Esq., of Boston, on “The Defects 
of American Agriculture and the Means of Reme¬ 
dying them.” 
— We hope onr Michigan friends will be more 
fortunate another year in regard to weather— and 
cannot refrain from suggesting the belief that 
a more central location for the next Fair would 
enhance the prosperity of the Society, and be more 
satisfactory to tbe people. Either Jackson or 
Marshall would, in onr opinion, prove far more de¬ 
sirable and successful than Detroit — jndging from 
some personal knowledge of the State, and the 
location cf several thousand Rural subscribers 
who would probably attend the exhibition. 
Which Breed of Swine? —In a letter contain 
ing payment for twenty subscribers to the Rural, 
Mr . Wm. A. Johnston, of Amciiasbnrgb, C. W., 
writes:—“Allow me to say something about the 
porkers. Mine are not exactly the ‘long-eared, 
slab-sided kind’ described in No. 403 of the Rural; 
tmt they arc very far from what I wish them to be. 
I think they are no relation to what you call areal 
aristocrat; indeed it would take a wiser man than 
me to tell what breed they are related to,—but they 
belong to the hog species ftDy way. You will con¬ 
fer a lavor on your humble servant if yon can tell 
him the best breed adapted t.o bis purpose, when 
he tells you that he thinks tie cheapest way to 
make pork is to winter over only as many sows as 
will produce pigs enough for what pork ia wanted, 
and if the breed is right and well attended to 
through summer they will make a barrel of pork 
each in the fall Rapidity of growth and economy, 
and a disposition to fatten young, Is what I want. 
There is no improved breed in this neighborhood 
of any distinct variety, hut, a sort of mongrel mix¬ 
ture Perhaps yon can tell where the right sort 
can be found, and the probable price of the ani¬ 
mals, to get me into the breed.” 
— Will some of onr experienced correspon¬ 
dents—such as H. T. B. and Jona. Talcott —give 
their views in answer to the above? We think 
Berkshire pigs would fill the barrel, but tne breed 
is not so popular as of yore. Perhaps a cross of 
the Suffolk and Leicester — keeping sows of the 
latter breed, and which can be readily obtained in 
Canada—would be be best for onr correspondent 
-- 
The Caledonia Fair— neld on Tuesday, the 
8th, is said to have been very creditable sad sac- 
cessful for a Town Exhibition. The weather was 
pleasant, and the attendance equal to that of aDy 
formeryear. Col. A. H, McLkan, President of the 
Society, delivered a brief but excellent address on 
the Wheat Midge —an appropriate and important 
subject for this region. It was ordered published, 
and we shall probably give its substance in the 
Rural.

A Large Mule. —The Prairie Farmer stateathat 
a farmer in Shelby county, Kentucky, owns a mule, 
which he raised himself, that measures eighteen 
hands in height. This is a foot taller than the 
average height of carriage horses. Kentucky 
mnlcH are rapidly superceding draft horses in 
Cincinnati and most of the citieB in Southern Ohio 
and Indiana. Their provender costs thirty per 
cent, leas than that of the horse, and they are al¬ 
most equally serviceable.

Sorghum Crusher. ^Tn a recent letter, Mr. 
Amkry Wilson, of Marcellus, N. Y r ., writes:—“I 
have made a oaue crasher alter the plan described 
in the Rrkal. It works well. It has two six inch 
rollers, two cranks, and is worked by two men.— 
Tbe mill costs about three dollars—not over that. 
By running tbe cane through twice it presses out 
all the juice.”

The inclement weather of last week was very 
unfortunate for the Ag. Societies holding Fairs.

Thk Young Kpralihts will, wo trust, excuse the 
unusual but necessitated omission of their depart¬ 
ment for two weeks in succession. We really in¬ 
tended to do better, bnt the State Fair Premiums, 
and other pressing matters, have compelled us to 
defer several spicy and interesting contributions 
from Loth young and aenlor friends. The depart¬ 
ment will bo rosunw'd next week,—and, in case we 
do not start, a paper devoted to tliB special inter¬ 
ests of tile juniors, more space and attention will 
be given to the Y'oung Huralist branch of The 
Senior Rural. Meantime, those of our yoang 
fiienda who desire a quantity of superior Steel 
Pens with which to write for the Young Rukalist, 
indite friendly epistles, or practice penmanship, 
are referred to first article on sixth page.
