m GRICULTUR.A.I,. From the. Yankee Farmer. 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.

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 turalist. PUBI,IC NOTICES. To Debtors and Creditors. j All persons indebted to the Estate of t JOHN \V.

By this unex pected movement, the subscriber is deprived of the means of completing the survey of t he State, on the original plan: it done at all, it must be at individual risk and expense. It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en lightened citizens of Georgia, that by following out the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and pursued with unremitting energy to the present, the State lias been contributing her mite, hum ble as it may be on the part oi her agent, to the cause of general science in our country, and the auvan-ementof intellectual improvement among her citizens, in accordance with other States of I tlie Union. There is but one alternative. In the | present situation of the survey, the work must either be abandoned and the important informa tion obtained by four years investigation of the Geology ot the State, lost to her citizens, or the subscriber must depend tor support, on individ ual patronage. He is determined to make an ef fort for the benefit and honor of his adopted State, to proceed with the survey. From former ex perience of the unbounded liberality and gene rous hospitality of his fellow citizens, in differ 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.

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.
