STAR OF THE NORTH. American Agritnltnre. ll ii a melancholy truth and ono'that re flects much on the skill and foresight of American farmers, that tvhile the wheat crop of England has increased at least fifty per cent, in the last century, that of the United States has fallen off in nearly the same proportion. A century ago, New England, Delaware and Virginia raised wheat as an ordinary crop ; now a wheat field is a rarity in these States, and they may be considered no longer wheat pro -dncing regions. Portions of New York, that formerly produced thirty Dushels to the acre, now seldom average over eight bushels ; and Ohio, new as she is, with her virgin soil, does not average over thirteen bushels i to the acre. If we go on as we have for the past cen tury, from bad to worse in our tillage, the lands in Ohio, in a half a century from this time, will not produce wheat enough to supply our own wants. It is less than that time since Vermont was a large wheat ex porting State ; now she does not export a bushel; but imports at least two-thirds of all the flour consumed in that Slate. Instead of increasing the productiveness of our wheat land, as in England, our wheal region iis diminished more than one half, and the productive quality ol what is still used has diminished in equal proportion. This is a practical, matter-of-fact view of the case, and one that addresses itself seri ously to the common sense of the farmer and national economist. Instead of the vain boast that we can feel all over Europe from our surplus wheat, we have got to improve our farming, or swallow the unpalatable truth that we import our breadstuff's from England. We talk much of the worn ont lands of Maryland, Virginia and Carolina ; but New York, that has destroyed the productive quality of her soil, so that she can get but eight bushels where she formerly got thirty, and Ohio, so she gets but thirteen bushels where she formely got thirty-five, have the same prospects before them. The great question regards the future ; the passed can not be recalled, nor remedied. One great source of deterioration in ex hausting our soils, has been in the manufac ture of potash, and the export of it to for eign countries, or to our manufactories.— In this way our soil has been robbed of an ingredient without which no plant can ma ture, and no cereal grain form. As our forests have disappeared, this source of de terioration must be cut off, but a serious in jury has been inflicted, which nothing can cure but the re furnishing of the potash to the soil. How it can be done is the great inquiry for our farmers. The export of our llonr has been another source of exhaustion to the soil, in taking away from it the phosphate of lime that is necessary to give plumpness to the kernel. This exhaustion can be more esily reme died by the application of bone dust. For many years the English farmers have car ried on a large traffic in old bones, paying five dollars a ton for them. This lias stim ulated many to gather them up, and even to rob the battlefields of Europe of the bones of their brave defendeis to enrich the wheat fields of England. By this course, the fields of England have been made more productive, while the countries from which the bones are taken have been permanently injured by their loss. The English, too, have sent to every is land of South America, to procure nitre in the form of guano, to fertilize their fields, while the Americans not only import little or none, but negligently wastes that which nature forces on them.— Ohio Farmer. The Art of Wood Engraving. The theory and practice of wood engra ving are in principle the reverse of engrav ing on copper; in the Utter the lines to be printied are sunk or cut in the plate—these being filled with ink, are, by means ol a rolling press, transferred, in etlect, to the paper. In wood engraving, 011 the contra ry, the parts that are to appear must be raised, or rather left untouched, and hence it is frequently termed relief engraving. In printing, the surface is only charged with ink, and the impression taken as from types. The copper engraver rarely uses more than three tools of the kind called gravers. The artist 011 wood requires, according to cir cumstances, from ten 10 fifteen or eighteen, called engravers—tools for tinting and sculp ture, the latter being used for cutting out the broadest parts which are to be left white. On account of the superior texture and com pactness of "box" wood, it is about the on ly kind now used for any work ol impor tance. The surface of the wood to be engraved is carfully planed, 6craped, &c., so as to render it as mooth as possible, in order to receive the drawing which must be put 011 the block itself, previously to commenc ing the engraving. The artist, in its exe cution, has 10 arrange the slctigth and di rection of the lines required for the various parts and distances, so that the printed im pression, though composed of different series of interlineations, may present the same character in effect as the original drawing. Much care is requisite, on the part of the engraver, to prevent a delicate design from being rubbed during the pro cess of cutting; it is usually, thereforo, cov ered with paper, which is removed by de grees as required. It is apparent, at once, how much de pends upon the skill of the engraver, when it is considered, that with every line cut by the tool, a portion of the effect of his origi nal is removed, and his recollective powers and taste must be in constant exercise, to preserve the points of the design—and the block must be wholly engraved before any impression can be taken. The copper en graver, on the contrary, is enabled to take progressive proofs of his works, and has nis original drawings unipaired, constantly before him. The latter has also another important advantage, in what is termed tint ing, inasmuch as all his skies and flat back grounds can be cut on the plate itself by mechanical means, and' his various tints are thereby produced with every required deli cacy.
