EFFECTS OF CRAFTING FRUIT.
That .scioii3 will produce fruit similar to !
trees from which they are taken is a fact ;
well known; hut many persons are mista-j
ken in supposing the scions govern wholly
arid that the stocks have no influence. The
scions govern mostly, hut as the stocks have
some effect in many respects, it is impor
tant to horticulturalists to examine the
subject and learn all the various effects
produced by stocks as in many cases it may
lie turned to great advantage, and in others
much disadvantage may be avoided.
Slacks have an effect ’ as to hearing years.
Scions cut from trees that boar in alternate
years, and put into stocks that bear every :
year or in alternate years different from the
trees from which the scions were taken,
will bear every year, though they may
have their full and scanty years of hear
ing. This principle will beofgreat advan
tage to the fruit grower, as it will enable
him to raise fruit annually of those kinds !
that without grafting, or by grafting, on
stocks that hear in the same alternate years
would only yield their fruit every second
year.
Slacks effect llic scions in hastening or
retarding the ripening of fruit. Fruit that
ripens too late may ha forwarded by en
grafting in on stocks that ripen their fruit
earlier, and the reverse. This mav be
turned to good account, and the same fruit
may be had in succession by grafting on j
stocks that ripen their fruit at different pe- j
riods. Wo have seen accounts of fruit he- i
ing accelerated in its ripening one month
by this method. Some fruits that are too
late for our northern climate might he ri
pened here bv engrafting on earlier stocks.
i this way some excellent kinds of fruits
that are now too late, might be ripened in
season.
Stocks produce defects on grafted fruit, j
Stocks that have produced fruit with rotten j
cores, or with water cores, will, in some
■eases produce the same effect in a similar I
degree on fruit engrafted on them. We j
noticed an apple tree that produced water j
cores in abundance • some of the apples
were full of water, which could he plainly
seen through the peel. The Newton Swee
ting was engrafted in the tree and some of j
the apples were water cores.
Stocks effect the color of fruit. —We have {
seen apples of the same kind of different
colors owing to the scions being set on dis
ferent stocks. Somo of flic apples were
red, others of a bright yellow.
Stocks effect the quality of fruit. —Scions
of the Baldwin apple were set in two trees ;
one tree bore very unpleasant fruit, the
other bore apples of a very sharp sour, but
they had a very rich spicy flavor when mel
low ; we now have apples from both trees,
and we can perceive a difference in the
fruit, and that which grew on the last named
free resembles the fruit of that stock in their
peculiar rich flavor. Butter or melting
pears are grafted on quince stocks in order j
to give solidity to the flesh ; some kinds are j
made valuable in that way which other- j
wise would not be worth cultivating. It j
is evident that sweet apples in order lo at- j
tain their sweetness in full, should he graf
ted into sweet apple stocks. We seldom
see sweet apples from scions so sweet as
natural fruit, owing doubtless, to their be
ing grown on sour stocks.
Stocks have an influence on increasing or
decreasing the she offruit. —We have seen
accounts of fruit being increased one half
in size by being grafted in trees that produce
much larger fruit. Perhaps the increase
in size was owing in part to the thrift of
the scion, as sometimes an improvement is
made in that way without any influence of
tile stock otherwise than supplying an abun
dance of sap. Wc grafted the w inter
sweeting into a sweet apple tree, that the
sweetness of the fruit might not be depreci
ated ; the tree produced excellent fruit,
very sweet and good to keep, hut it was
very small—the scions produced good fruit
that kept long, but it was as small as the
fruit of tlie stock ; whether that was its com
mon size or not wc do nof| know, but sup
pose it was owing in a measure to the
stocks.
These facts will be very profitable to the
growers of fruit, and if any of our readers
learn from experiment or observation any
thing that corroborate or illustrate these
principles or tend to contradict them, we
should be pleased to hear from the subject.
NUTRIVTVE QUALITIES OF CHAR-i
COAL.
Though the importance of mixing Cliar
coal with the food of animals, particularly
that of swine, has been generally acknowl
edged, and its benefits extensively tested,
still it has been supposed that it only acted
as a corrective to the acid tendency of food,
and facilitated fattening, by improving the
health of the animal. Some experiments
are, however, on record, which would seem
to show that charcoal acts a more impor
tant part in the matter, than lias usually
been assigned to it.
In 1793, a family driven from New
\ork by the fever, were absent six or eight
■weeks before it was deemed prudent to re
turn. A number of fowls conlined in a loft
in the work-shop of the house T were forgot
ten at the time of leaving, and as it was
known there was nothing provided for their
subsistence, it was expected on the return
they would be found starved to death. To
the astonishment of all, the fowls were
found alive and fat, though there was no
thing upon which they could have fed, ex
cept a quantity of charcoal and shavings ;
water being supplied front the grind stone
trough.
| These facts coming to the knowledge of I
Ia gentleman in Ncw-York, as we learn !
1 from the Recorder, lie instituted the follow- ‘
ing experiment: lie placed a turkey in a
1 box or enclosure 4 feet long, 2 feet wide, !
j and 3 or 4 feet high, excluded from light
! as much as could be done, and allowed a
j free circulation of air, and fed the turkey
! with soft brick, broken fine, pounded char
| coal, and sir grains of corn per day. The
! box vvas kept locked. At the end ofa month,
the. turkey was killed in the presence of
several gentlemen, was large and heavy,
! and on being opened, was found filled with |
I fat. Nothing, on dissection, was found in j
the gizzard and entrails but charcoal and .
| brick. Last winter the experiment was |
j repeated, and with the same success.
| Several years since, in fitting out one of I
the Liverpool traders at Ncw-York, a pig
on board was missing, and was supposed to
have been lost. The cargo was taken on j
i board, stowed, and the vessel sailed. Jt j
Mas now discovered that the pig Mas alive
in the coal-hole, but be could not be got at
readily, it Mas concluded to leave him to
his fate. Uo remained in this retreat until
the passage Mas made, when his pigship
was {bund to he not only alive and well,
but materially improved in condition, tbo’
: there was nothing, coal excepted, lie could
have suulloucd.
When it was remembered that wood, su
| gar, and several other substances, some of
1 which are most nutritive, are compounded
! of nearly the same original elements, it
would seem possible, by animal chemistry,
to convert them to the purpose of sustain
ing life ; though all experiments with wood j
:or charcoal have failed. The German |
i chemists have converted Mood into very ;
palatable bread, by roasting and pulveri- j
i zing ; but calcination, it has been suppos
-1 ed, Mould destroy whatever powers of nu
trition wood might originally contain. The
chemical action of vegetables seems una
i Iffc to produce the least effect on coal, and
not the least particle of it has ever been
lbund in the structure of vegetables, though
; mixed with the earth and water in which
plants M ere growing, in the form of the
most impalpable powder. Whether ani- j
mal chemistry is able to do what vegetable i
organization cannot, remains to be seen ;
though if there is no mistake in the state
ments alluded to, it would seem probable
that this intractable substance, is, in some
way, made subservient to the nutrition of
! animals. Gencssce Farmer.
| How to boil Irish Potatoes. —Good and
indifferent potatoes depend very much upon
tiic manner in which they arc prepared
for the table. .Some cooks always have
heavy, hard watery potatoes ; while others j
for t lie most part, have them dry, mealy and !
excelli nt. ‘Flits difference depends, gener- ‘
ally, upon the difference of cooking. The i
first cook puts Ihe potatoes into cold water, i
warms them through by a slow fire, and
cools them as slowly ; the other puts them
into boiling water, stirs the lire till they
are just done, takes them out immediately,
throws a wet cloth round them, and gently
squeezes eacli with the hand till it cracks
open, tor the watery particles to escape in
the form of steam, then peals them and
they are exactly right. By this plan, any
potatoewili eat well.— Nashville Agricul

either be abandoned and the important informa

ent parts of the Slate, lie is confident that, in
making an appeal to their sympathy and patron
age, it will not be made in vain.
That a complete survey may be made of the re
maining counties of the State, and the whole
consolidated and published for the information
and benefit of the citizens, public patronage is
most respectfully solicited. A work of this kind,
is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising
an area of sixty thousand square milbein'-
destitute of a single, correct Map, Geography, or
history of the same. A majority of the citizens
must, from necessity, bo unacquainted with the
rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci
ties of the different sections. Favored as the
subscriber has been, by four years labor, as
Stale Geologist, in different parts of the State,
in collecting materials tor a complete report of
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, he trusts that he shall be able to
meet the approbation of his fellow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that the
proceeds arising from subscription for the work
shall be appropriated to the completion of the
survey of the remaining counties of the State,
and that they shall be finished as they will be
needed for publication.

THE NEW WORLD,
TUB . LARGEST, CIIKAI’ESTi IIANiISOMEST, AND
MOgT C'OMI’REHENSIVE NEWSPAPER IN THE
UNITED STATES.
ON Saturday, the second day of January, will
be issued the first number of
Volume of the Quarto New World. This
form, being convenient for binding and preser
vation, has been and is much preferred by great
numbers of our readers in city and Sountry.—
Mach number of the Quarto Edition contains the
same articles as the Folio, with the exceptions
only of the advertisements and a few unimport
ant lieu s-itenis of no permanent interest. The
second Volume of tiie Quarto is commenced
with the new year for the accommodation and
convenience of new subscribers, who, at that
period, generally determine on tiie character
and kind of periodicals best recommended to
j their attention and best worthy of their patron
age.
The New Would was begun, in the large,
!or iblio size, in October, 1830. It immediately
j acquired a circulation unprecedentedly great.—•
’ It Mas ordered to bn sent to all parts of the
j country; it uas sold in great numbers in the
principal cities of the Union. The plan upon
which it v as conducted, was novel and striking.
Its distinguishing feature ua.-, that, it republish
ed, v\ ith unparalleled despatch, the most attract
ixe portions ot new English literature. On its’
broad and ample pages were displayed, ,in rapid
and brilliant succession, the latest productions
oi tiie uio.-t “cmtlar authors ot the cay. Their
names formed a galaxy, wlife It simJ it fascina
ting lustre around the new and copious journ.'.jg
One star differed from another st i in glory,
they M'cre all stars. Not many of the minor
lights m ere admit ted into their splendid company.
Dickens, Bclm'er, Talfourp, Mitfold, At y -
worth, Df.m ey, Sedgwick, Lonikiuav, have
lew compeers in their lime and few are worthy
of being ranked with taem.
It was not to be wondered, at that the\New
World became a great favorite with the intel
iigon* and reading public. There was only one
objection made to it—and that u'as to its size.—
The Folio iorni Mas the most popular but not
most convenient for those, who considered the
works which it contained too valuable to be
thrown aside. For such readers, the Q,uarto
was commenced in June last, and for such it will
he continued.
Fortlie new volume, commencing in January',
we ask the subscriptions of ail lovers of pure
and elegant literature throughout the country.
We ask them too to favor us with tlicir names im
mediately, that we may not fat! short of the num
ber that will he required in this form. The rea
sonableness of this request will be understood
when we state that orders are every day receiv
ed for back numbers which cannot be supplied.
Ten times t iie subscription price would non’ be
cheerfully paid by those, who delayed to send
early orders. The scarcity of old numbers is an
admirable proof of their value ; in them are’ con
tained works scld for sixpence and one shilling,
which cost in the original editions one dollar and
sometimes five dollars.
The New World will be conducted as it has
been, with those improvements and additions,
which time and experience have n failed to
suggest. It will be complete in all the depart
ments of a first rate literary journal. From the
extensive acquaintance enjoyed by the Editors
with all the best writers and critics of the coun
try, this will be no very difficult task. It Lull
continue to be edited by Path Benjamin anifc
Epos Sargent.
This form of tiie New World will be render
ed more elegant in its external appearance. It
will be embellished with engravings and music,
chosen by a distinguished professor.
