agricultural. TRANSPLANTING—SHADE TREES. There is not a shrub, vine, plant, or tree to be found in our fields and forests, that is not susceptible of a high degree of im provement, if taken up late in fall or early in the spring, properly trimmed and trans planted in good rich soil near ourdwellings. j Their change for the better soon becomes apparent. Take, for instance, young ches. nut trees from the mountain, lop off as much of their tops as you leave of their roots; set them out as you would our ap- j pie trees, not deeper in the soil than they have stood.. They have a rapid growth, and if well preserved will spread proliiical ly, producing a nut three times as large as those generally brought to the market, and of better flavor. The hickory tree will do the same. All will bear graftings as well as a pear tree. Experiments in this line will cost but little. Were Ia lawgiver in the land, I would enjoin upon the cultivation of shade trees wherever there was a cluster of houses—a severe penalty should be inflicted on all who injured or despoiled them, and the de struction of a tree should be a capital crime. I would choose for my trees, those of my own country—the maple, the ash, the hick ory, and the elm should hold the first rank. I would plant them by the road side, at : convenient distances, so that the traveller j might enjoy the shade. I would rear them about every church and school house, that the aged might rest their limbs and the young indulge their sports beneath them. From the Library of Useful Knowledge. EFFECTS OF CULTIVATION ON ! CLIMATE. Without cultivation few climates would be healthy or agreeable. In countries to which the labor of civilized men has never been extended, the rivers spreading them selves over the low grounds, form pestilen tial marshes; and forests, thickets, and weeds, are so numerous and impenetrable as to prevent the earth from receiving the beneficial influence of the sun's rays. The air, from these causes, is constantly filled with noxious exhalations. Hut the efforts of the human race, conducted with skill and perseverance, produce a surprising change: marshes are drained, rivers em banked, the soil broken up by the plough, is exposed to the sun and wind, and the clearing away of the forests raises the tem perature and allows a freer circulation of the atmosphere. There is little doubt that many parts of Europe enjoy a milder cli mate now than they did in the time of the Romans, or at periods much more recent. Several districts in North America have experienced, as the country has become more widely settled, a similar improve ment of climate. The destruction of for ests may, however, be carried to a perni cous extent, either by depriving a country of shelter from particular winds, or (espe cially in hot climates,) by lessening too much the quantity of moisture, it being well known that there is a great evapora tion from the leaves of vegetables. The sultry atmosphere and dreadful droughts of the Cape de Verd Islands are owing to the destruction of the forests, and Greece, Italy and other countries, are said to have been deteriorated in climate from the same cause. It is attributed to this also that the southern part of Iceland is more accessible than for merly to the cold which proceeds from the Arctic Ocean. NEW DESCRIPTION OF COTTON. The New Orleans Bulletin gives us the information of the discovery of anew spe cies of Cotton. It states that “anew spe cies of Cotton has been discovered by Mr. L. C. Hornsby, of Covington, La. He says the bush grows 8 to 10 feet high, branching out in proportion, and producing from two to three thousand pounds to the acre.. This cotton is of long staple, and very fine texture. Mr. Hornsby thinks it as fine as ordinary silk. He says one seed was found two years ago in a chest of tea, imported from China ; he planted it, and saved the seed which was its production, planted them and now offers a few for sale. If this cotton proves as good as represent ed, we can then count upon anew era in the cultivation of the great staple. We think at least some attention should be paid to it by our planters. RECEIPTS, Ac. From the Buell's Cultivator. HOW TO PRESERVE FRUIT. We have been informed by a gentleman who had practical proof of its success, of a new mode of keeping fruit fresh for the ta ble, as grapes, plumbs, &c., a long time after they have been gathered. It is sim ply to alternate them in layers with cotton batting in clean stone jars, and place them secure from frost. The dis- B H I ■ remedy—the dark spots disappearing as if by magic. From the Cultivator. BACON. The kinds most celebrated are, the West phalia, principally brought from Ham burgh ; the Hampshire, from England ; and in the United States, the Virginian or Southern hams generally. It is not known that there is any thing peculiar in the feed ing or pickling the Hamburgh hams, but their superiority is attributed to the man ner in which they are smoked. This is performed in the third or fourtli stories of buildings, to which the smoke is conducted in tubes, from oak or maple chips, in the cellar of the building : in passing this dis tance, the vapor, which smoke usually holds, is deposited, and the bams are per- 1 fectly dry and cool during the whole pro cess. The Hampshire bacon is made from [Kirk not scalded in dressing, but deprived of the hair by quick fires of straw ; this singeing is repeated two or three times, as the case may require, when the hog is cut up, pickled, and carefully smoked ; the hams are particularly hard and fine, which is attributed to the skin not having been softened by scalding. The great defects in smoking commonly arc, the meat is placed too near the fire and the smoke-house is too tight; it is, there fore, in consequence kept too warm by the fire, and the condensation of .the vapor keeps them damp ; dryness, while smoking, is indispensable to good bacon. From the Baltimore American. Dr. Perrine. We published a few days ago a short no tice of this excellent man, whose recent death by the hands of savages at the mas sacre of Indian Key was one of the most melancholy events of that bloody affair. — We find in the Newark Advertiser a more detailed account of the life and character : of Dr. Perrine, some particulars of which I will be interesting to our readers. Dr. P. was a native of Connecticut. He resided for many years in the northern part of South America, as consul for the Uni ted States, and became intimately acquain ted with the Provinces of Oampeaehy— Yucatan and Sizal. These districts a bound in valuable plants. It became a fa vorite object with Dr. Perrine to introduce such of these as seemed most suitable into the southern portion of the U. States—be ing convinced that the staples of the tropics both for food and manufacture would thrive in our Southern soil and climate. Some of his letters written at Campeachy to friends in the United States found their way into the public journals, and were read witli much interest. During the session of Congress of 1837 and ’3B, Dr. Perrine was in Washington. He obtained the use of the room assigned in the Capitel to the Committee on Agricul ture, where he arrayed some specimens of fibrous plants and their fibres, for the ex amination of members of Congress. The account goes on to say : He had also laid before both branches a vast amount of infornlation, describing the habits of different varieties of useful plants and demonstrating that the sand barrens of theSouth,and their impracticable morasses, for all other purposes not merely useless, but deleterious, might be made to produce, by self-propagation, and almost without labor, the various fibrous plants which yield the fibres from which Manilla and Sisal rope, and all the great and beautiful variety of grass cloths are manufactured. The marshes bear one class of plants, and the most arid sands another class, and the climate is sufficiently warm through Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, while some kinds will thrive as far north as Virginia. It was Dr.P’s.strong desire to see those productions introduced into all that section of country that the de cline of cotton, rice and tobacco crops from the exhaustion of the soil, might be made up by this spontaneous and prolific cultiva tion of those immense tracts now esteemed valueless, giving anew and permanent source of wealth and prosperity. It was for aid in this great and philanthropic pro ject that he asked the aid of the Govern ment —not in money, but in a grant of those same barren lands which some of the offi cers of our army have pronounced worth less and uninhabitable. With all these material of his labor, Dr. Perrine remained nearly unnoticed for two or three months. In this neglected condition we first knew of him, his labors and his projects ; and among the most plea sant recollections of our acquaintance is that which we look upon with greatest sat isfaction, that it was in our power, in con sequence of a favorable position, to call the attention of a great many members of Congress to the valuable specimens and in teresting illustrations of Dr. Perrine.— The north and the south at last became ac quainted with the subject he had so deeply at heart. They saw as he did a splendid scheme for the increase of national wealth, by the improvement of otherwise barren soils, for the production of new materials for useful manufactures; and his simple request that he might locate a settlement for the , propagation of tropical plants in Florida upon government lands, was gran ted, with the privilege of purchasing any surrounding lands hereafter when the Indi ans should be removed and the lands and hogs offered for sale at the regular market price. This gave him a right to enter up on the land, and it was all he asked. It was readily granted. After this, Dr. Perrine came to the north and spent some considerable time in Boston, making enquiries into the wants of manu facturers, the kinds of fibre most likely to be demanded, and the kinds of machinery which would best cleanse it from the pulp and skin. He did this with a prudent fore cast for the final prosperity of his estab lishment. He was waiting, also, for the termination of Indian hostilities, that he and such coadjutors as might associate with him in the enterprise might sit down in security. His plan was to collect a number of poor families, who were indus trious and of good character, and willing to migrate to Florida! He would then have given them lands from his grant, and would, for a time have ensured them a subsistence, till, by their labor in carrying out his pro ject, they might support themselves or ac quire wealth.
