THE CULTIVATOR. 
Jan, 
“appearance,” be regarded as “treating with 
contempt” the opinions of others. If this was 
wrong in us, what must we think of the far 
more uncivil remarks of the writer in the Re¬ 
view? He thinks, because insects have sometimes 
been discovered on diseased potatoes, that they 
must always necessarily exist there—a kind of 
reasoning which has led to a vast amount of error. 
If a certain species of Aphis is found in a hundred 
instances on a diseased plant, and in ten other in¬ 
stances cannot be detected by the most careful 
daily examinations, this would demonstrate that 
the disease was caused by something else. And 
this is the very ground which we have always ta¬ 
ken. — 
The Farmer's Magazine , London, copies the 
entire account of the Trial of Implements at Ge¬ 
neva, from the Cultivator of Sept. last. 
Hilling Corn.— At a late meeting of the New 
Hampshire Legislative Agricultural Society, all 
the speakers objected to hilling corn. One farm¬ 
er, who had experimented by hilling and leaving 
the earth level, found no apparent difference in 
the product, but found the hilled portions more 
likely to be broken down by storms. The other 
stood more firmly; or if bent, sooner recovered 
itself. Was not this owing to the better matur¬ 
ing and hardening of the roots? 
Unfading Beauty. 
Dali days have come; the low winds moan, 
The sky looks cold and grey; 
The leaves, torn from the forest’s hough, 
In whirling eddies play. 
Long since the flowers, the lovely flowers, 
That made the landscape bright 
As smiles in childhood’s happy face. 
Have vanished from the sight. 
No minstrelsy now fills the groves, 
But from the leafless spray, 
The raven gives ill-boding notes, 
Or cheerless screams the jay. 
The garner'd grain, the gather’d fruit. 
Have paid for fruitful toil, 
And trees, like lifeless monuments, 
Stand on the naked soil. 
Cold rains descend and copious fill 
The saturated land, 
While all around the plashy pools 
And yellow puddles stand. 
Beasts seek their dens, the birds have gone 
In softer climes to roam; 
The squirrel finds his hollowed tree, 
And man, his costlier home. 
Still there are charms that cannot fade-, 
But.mock the winter’s rage; 
The varied seasons safely pass, 
And live from age to age. 
Then while the frailer things decay, 
A solace we shall find, 
If we have made these charms our own— 
The beauties of the mind. C. F. L. F.

Mr. Emery’s advertisement of Reaping Machine, which 
was promised this month, is necessarily crowded out by the 
pressure of other matter, till next month.

Improved Superphosphate of Lime, 
AND 
C. Deburgh’s No. I Superphosphate of Lime. 
I N the Dec. No. of the Working Farmer the undersigned is 
charged with selling Superphosphate of Lime made by a 
different manufacfurer than Prof. J. J. Mapes, and recom¬ 
mended the same to be of a better quality than his Improved 
Superphosphate of Lime. We in answer do say, that we 
sold upwards of one hundred tons of C. Deburgh’s No. 1 Su¬ 
perphosphate of Lime. We have, and do now recommend 
it a better article than that made by Prof. J. J. Mapes, as we 
had both analysed by one of the best chemists in this country, 
and found that made by C. Deburgh a superior article. It is 
made of Bone and Coal dissolved in sulphuric acid, after 
which a large quantity of Peruvian Guano is added, likewise 
the residue of ammoniaeal chambers, which of itself is an ex¬ 
traordinary fertilizer. We do recommend to every purcha¬ 
ser, to request an analysis from the vender of the so-called 
improved—also C. Deburgh’s No. 1 Superposphate of Lime, 
and purchase subject to such analysis.
