X.EW1SBURG CHRONICLE AND WEST BRANCH FARMER wcdgc-like form, and then cutting out the inner portion of the gralts so as to make it fit down neatly and closely on the stock. If the atock and graft be of the same cize or thickness, you can make the bark meet all around. But if the stock be too large for this, you can insert two grafts, one on each side, for if the inner bark of the atock and graft join on one side only it is sufficient. This is a very, strong and handsome mode of grafting for standard trees, ornameo.al trees when graded at the standard height, also for rose and standard trees. 3. Cleft or Slit Grafting This mode, which is performed on stocks of from one to two inches in diameter, consists in cul ling ofT the stock smoothly at a part free from knots, splitting the stock down, smoothly and evenly (near the pith or heart, but without injuring it) to the depth c.f ahout two inches, with ashtirp, thinbla did kni:e, and then cutting the lower end i f the graft in a wedge-like form, with a fine or sharp edge on its inside and its bark side or outer-side about the one eight of an inch in thickness, and insert ing it into the cleft of the stock so as to cause the inner bark of the stock and graft to join each other closely and neatly. II the s'ock be pretty large, you may insert two grafts', one on each side of the stock. If the graft be cut so as to have an eye or bud near the top of the stock, its growth will be the more sure. This mode .f grafting mny be used on small stocks nl-o. I: is a very easy mode, and although rather clumsy as to appearance and finish, is still rti re frequently practised than any other in the United Suites. 4. Croxn Grafting. This mode, which is practised on such stocks as are toi larjje an J stubborn to cleave or split, is lierfcrmed by culling ofTlhs slock smoothly an J h riz .n'.My or level, gen'ly separating ' or loosing the bark from the stock so as to admit (he scion or graft between the bark and the wood about two inchfs down, and then cutting one side of the graft flat and sumewhat sloping, about an inch and a half long, with a sort cf shoulder at the top of the slo(e to rest upon the crown or top cf the slock, and inserting the graft or crafts between the wood and the bark. with the cut or flit side next to the wood of the stock, for on a large stock you may thus insert three, four, five or more grafts. This mode is sometimes ca'led grafting in the bark or rind, because the graft is in serted between the bark and the wood, and it is performed with most success at a pe riod bomewhat later than the other modes, as it requires some running of sap to make the bark separate easily from the wood. 5. Side Grafting. This mode consists in cutting or sloping the bark and a little of ihe wood ofTfrom that side or portion of I tree where you wisn to have a limb or limbs, and cutting the graft to fit it pre cisely as in whip or splice grafting, and fixing it on with matting and clay as in o' her cases. Another a ay is 10 make a perpendicular cut through the bark of the tire, and a cross cut on the top of the per pendicular cut, pare off the bark of the tree above the crosscut down slanting to the wood at the crosscut, raise the birk of the perpendicular cut, and insert therein the graft so cut as to fit the position it is to oc?upy. A variety of fruits may thus be engrafxd on one tree. 0. Rout Grafting. This duty is per formed liy any of the usual modes of graft ing oti the roots of decayed or removed trees, w here suitable stocks for the purpose one scarce Such root grafts grow with uncommon vigor, and Mr. Van Moris con siders this t! e most perlect of all modes of grafting, as it regards the perfect condition of the grafted tree, inasmuch as it requires the smallest quantity of the stock used, and being under ground, soon throws out new fibres, and thus actually grows upon iis own roots. 7. Shoulder or Chink Grafting. This mode, which is chiefly used for or-! namenlal trees where the slock and graft arc of the same size, consists in cutting off iho stock smoothly and horizontally or level, and sawing or cutting halfway and horizontally through the slock a few inches below the top of the stock, and splitting off the sawed half, and theo cutting the scion or graft so as to fill up exactly the vacancy thus made in the stock. There are other modes of shoulder grafting, but this is the easiest and most simple. All these grafts must be bound or tied fast with some soft matting, overlaid or covered with the usual grafting clay or composition. A covering of common potter clay, however, will answer every purpose; or you may cover the cleft with grafting wai made of three pirls of bees wax, three parts of rosin, and two parts of tallour, er. as many prcler. with a little more taliow to render it pliable, all melted together and worked up like shoemaker's wax. The best crafting wax. according to Trot. M ipes, is made of melted bees wax with about one quarter of its weight ol balsam of fir (Canada balsam stirred into it while melting. It is said to be per fectly impervious to waiter, and so adhe sive that no expansion by heat nor con traction by cold will make it run or crack. It mav be poured on thin tissue paper while ho', and used in atrip, or worked up in the timid, and used as the ordinary wax. A scjall tjtl-iUUiy ofvermiUioo, alii red into it, gives it a beautiful red color, and deters insects from traveling over it to attack the scion. Grafts when to be Cot fcc. 1. The grafts or scions should be cut off before their buds begin to swell, which is generally three weeks or a month be fore the usual season for spring grafting. 2. The grafts should be the shoots of the last year's growth and be taken from the outside lateral or horizontal branches of healthy trees. . A small joint or portion ol the for mer year's growth should be cut off with the graft, as it will preserve it the better. and be the more likely to take When grafted. s ! - a ... - . J ne fjratis sliouid be Irom four in six inches in length, with not less than two nor more than five eyes or buds on each. 5. The middle portion of each shoot makes the best grafts. 6. The grafts should be put on the tree until the sap flows freely, as that is necessary to heal the wound speedily, and enliven the graft. 7. The graf's, in Summer and Fall grafting, should be the shoots of the present year, with a portion of the former years' growth attached ; and the rule is, to select the grafts fio n trees w he sesap is stannary or nearly so, and insert them on stocks whose sap flows vigorously. The best way to preserve grafts and buds, where they must be carried a con siderable or long distance, is to box them up in moist saw-dust, and keep it moist, but not wet, by occasionally sprinkling water over it. A bushel of saw-dust will retain its moisture for many weeks nearly unaltered. I: is better than damp moss, because it will completely imbed or cover the scions and leive no interstices and also bst'er than moist sanJ, because it is lighter, more spongy, and entirely free from dirt. Seions cut in the summer for j budding, have in this way been preserved till the follou ing spring, and grafted with complete success ; and winter-cut grafts have also been kept fresh till mid-summer, and then successfully used in budding. The north side of a building or ce'lar, is the best place to keep grafts or buds, as its temperature is less changeable than any other portion of the premises. But, in all cases, the sooner the grafts are grafted, after being cut, the belter.

To that great leading interest, Agricul ture, a geological survey is bolh directly and indirectly beneficial, to an extent which well deserves the careful considera tion, not only of every farmer, but of the Legislature. It conduces directly to this interest by pointing out the sources from whence the various soils of the region are derived, and the belts of country where the same soils prevail, so that the agricul tural experience of separate localities upon identicul soils may be compared together. It analyses the strata, and siiOs which layers are fertilizing and which not, and traces on the geological map such as are natural manure, discriminates between the pure limestone and the magnesian ones, between those which possess the all-powerful element of phosphorus and such as do not, and indicates whit shales and other.

It calls at tention furthermore to, and furnishes in fact much knowledge indispensable to any right system of drainage. An improved and truly economical cul- tuie of the soil must be founded upon an exact knowledge of the materials of which the soil is composed, and this indispensable knowledge can only be procured through a r..l J.. it. .LU olrnlt nut rxf l J which the soils are derived. Hence it is,! hat Geology 13 now universally regarded , by the profession;.! teachers, scientific wri- J ters, and the most skilful men of practice 1 in agriculture, as equally fundamental with chemistry, in its relations toeound methods ol cultivation. Of this no better proof need be as-ked than the titles and scope of all the treatises, both comprehensive and abridged of one ho is perhaps the ablest expounder of the principles of this great art now liv ing. Prof. James F. Johnsion, m Eng land, who has devoted the labors of a life lime to the production ofwo.'ks expressly on "Agricultural Chemistry and Geology." In a recent "Report on ihe agricultural capability of the Province of New Bruns wick," he illustrates in various ways, how "the possession of a pood geological map is of much importance to a State, as an aid in determininins the cultural value of its surface, of what it is capable, and how its capabilities are to be developed." A little consideration of a few fundamen tal facts in agriculture and geology will render obvious the advantages which the intelligent farmer may derive from a know ledge of the strata of the district where he dwells. The first practical problem. hich the agriculturuliat iu any region mu.t study, the adaptation of the crop to the soil, the climate, and the market. But to know its adaptability to the soil, he should have a clear conception of the nature and compo sition of the strata around them. for without this knowledge he can get no true insight into the chemical and mechanical propert ies of the soil.which is nothing else than the substances, some of them in large and some in minute quantities, and that they are all equally necessary to its productiveness, the importance of a correct geological knowledge, indicating their presence or absence in particular locality, will be plain ly perceived silica, alumina, lime, mag- i FlOtilil rtvi.tn Mf . tiAr.ali dMirnnn. .all - v i v. via, nri.au, vviaiiinJM CUM and phosphoric acid and this will be still more distinctly seen when the inorganic elements in any of the ordinary crops are shown in comparison. In the case r.f red clover hay, as an exumple, there are silica, lime, magnesia, oxide of iron, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, potash, soda, and chlorine, in all one hundred and twenty nine and a half pounds in a ton of bay. As the abstraction from the soil of either of these ingredients will greatly impair its suitableness for this particular crop, it is manifest that it behooves the farmer, as a first step to the skilful culture of his land, to learn from the composition and geologi cal origin of the rocks which have produced and are still producing his soil, whether these various constituents, indispensable to his purpose, are naturally there and likely to be renewed, and which of them he must himself supply. The animal which can not thrive with out a due proportion of lime and phospho rus in its bones, can by ranging widely for its food be almost sure of those ingredients; but the plant is rooted to one spot, and if these and the other earthly elements, not less indispensable to its nutrition, are not immediately within its reach in the soil, the farmer must introduce them. But how can he possible know what it is that is de ficient, until the chemical geologist makes it clear to him, from a previous study of the con.posiiion of the rocks and of the soils into which these rocks decay. It may be stated as an undeniable truth, that without an acquaintance with the local geology of his vicinity, the agricultu rist can never avail himself of the whole of his natural resources, or make due and grateful acknowledgements in his industrial practice of the bountiful sources of wealth which the beneficent Creator, with lavish kindness, has spread beneath his feet. To till ihe earth and call forth her fruits, is the happy destiny assigned to the great mass of mankind, but thro' it there would seem to be in reserve a destiny still nobler the cultivation of his own faculties and powers, resulting from his eagerness to con vert to human uses, by increase of knowl edge, the qualities of common things. In studying the most common of these.if they be but the crumbling clods of stone that strew the fields, he sees everywhere that the physical laws are divine appointments. Of the indirect benefits to the agricultu ral class from such an exploration, little need be said ; they are such as will be sha red in, to a greater or less extent, by every citizen, and mUS! be acknowledged as soon as hinted at. One of the most obvious of these, is the operation of such a survey to render coal abundant and cheap, for the various important uses for which the farm er must have fuel, such as the burning of lime.ihe making of bricks.or the furnishing his neighborhood with steam, saw, or grit mills, in the absence of wa'er power. To these a,vflnta.9 ,etU9 addlhe pr,.geration , t -u- j .l of his wood for fencing, building and other uses than burning, and the liberty it gives him to appropriate a larger share of his land to growing crop, while a less share is given to growing limber. But probably the most important indirect boon conferred on the agriculture of a country by geological developments, is the influence these have, by stimulating its mi ning activity, to attract population inland, and to create thereby home markets for iho produce of the soil. Not to wander to England and Belgium for proofs, in the extraordinary pictures there presented of this quickening influence on agriculturalit ,a nnw npepMiirv fnr us lo InoK at ho in P. " . . a . . , ... nn,hracile coai fieiids. ,0 witnes, the happy results of the ties which bind the welfare of the great class who till the surface, to that of ihe population who delve for other riches beneuth it. It is too obvious for argumeot.that a map and description which display in their true position all the varieties of strata, and con sequently their soils in our borders must be a most valuable aid in exhibiting our agricultural means of wealth, and for invi ting hither the best class of settlers. We have lost much desirable population by the undue prominence given to Western lands, w!;ich do not compare so favorably with our own as lo compensate for the peculiar dis advantages to which they expose emigrants from New England and from Europe, we m'ght refer to many examples of a sudden impulse given to agriculture, by the publi of the results of geo'ogical surveys. Sev eral striking instances are presented to our thoughts. One relates to the marl region ol New Jersey, where the farms have been enriched, and thei produce multiplied by the disclosures of the true character and extent of beds of green sand or marl, by i! Prof. H. O. Sogers ; and lha other baa ra- ference to the old farms of Eastern Virgi nia, which have been revived since Prof, Win. B Rogers made known Ihe abundant deposits of calcarious marl of that portion of the State. Indeed, the emigration to that worn out region, from the Northern and Eestern States, has been excited mainly by the prospect of benefits dependent upon the marl manures. We may also mention,that methods employed in the Netherlands.con verted the most barren sand into fruitful fields. And even the white drifted sands of Cape Cod are now changing to bright, green fields, and much of the credit is due to a geological report made by Prof Hitch cock, of Mass., who was ambitious to point out means to make two blades of gras, or two ears of corn grow.where but one grew before. The foregoing views applicable to any country owning mines, manufactures, and at if.lfl 'It, !. Um llflHA An ..,, ft i 1 1 C. .rut I in ihe case of Pennsy lvania ; her territory is pre-eminently rich in all the best treas ures which the strata of the globe can yield. Coal in all varieties, iron ores of every sort, and pure limestones, slates, clays, and builing rocks, are spread in a lavish abundance, scarcely paralleled by any other equal district of the world's sur face. In coal, the most precious of all min eral wealth, she has an estate larger far than of anv other commonwealth in Anier ica or kingdom in Europe. The estimates of geological survey, prove the State to contain at the least 1 1,000 square miles of productive coal strata, with such an avail able average thickness of the coal as equi valent to more than seven tons of the fuel under each square yard of this prodigious area. More man zu.uuu.uuu ions oi ims concentrated form of power, is then the av erge quantity allotted to each single square mile of these 1 1,000. Or measuring it by its equivalent in human physical force, the total strength which slumbers beneuih our soil, is the inconceivable aggregate of II, 000 times the energy of 7,000,000 of men extended for a life time! Commensurate with our anthracite and bituminous coal are the beds of iron ore, like the fuel which lies adjacent, or within easy access to them, inexhaustible for thou sands of years. The mining and transfor ming of these through all the various pro cesses of manufacture, and their transmis sion by the channels of a constantly expanding commerce to market, must cre ate within our borders untold millions of wealth.

It is believed, however, that hereafter near 2,000 warrants per week may be despatched, as Congressmen do not interfere with tho busiuess so much as during the session.
