TRANSFORMATION OF WHEAT.
A grain of wheat when put into the
ground at the depth of three inches, under
goes the following transformation :—As
soon as the farinaceous matter which en- j
volved the frame of the young plant con- 1
taiued within it is softened into a milky
state, a germ is pushed out, and at the bot
tom of that germ small roots soon follow;
the roots are gathering while the germ, by
the •aid of the milky fluid, is shooting up
ward ; and when the milk is exhausted, the
roots arc in activity, and are collecting
nourishment for the plant from the soil it
self. This is analogous to the weaning of
the young of animals, which are not aban
doned by the mother till they can provide
for themselves. But the care of nature
does not end here ; when the germ has fair
ly got above the surface and become a plaint,
a set of upper roots are thrown out, close
to the surface of the ground, which search
all the superficial parts of the soil with the
same activity as the under roots search the
lower parts ; and that part of the germ
which seperates the two sets of roots is now
become a channel, through which the low
er roots supply the plant with the nourish
ment they have collected.
What an admirablecontrivance to secure
the prosperity of the plants! Two dis
tinct sets of roots serve, in the first, place, to
fix the plant firmly in the ground, and to
collect nourishment from every quarter.—
The upper roots are appositely situated to
receive all the nourishment that comes nat
urally fromthe atmosphere, or artificially as
manure, to the surface ; and serve the far
ther purpose of being all the base of new
stems, which are tillered up, and so great
ly increase the productiveness of the plant.
The excellence of the drill system ingrain
may be probably perceived in this expla
nation ; for in broad-cast sowing the seeds
lie very near to the surface, and in this sit
uation it is not only more exposed to acci
dents arising from birds, insects, and the
weather, but the two sets of roots are neces- 1
sarily crowded together so as almost to be- j
come indistinct ; the plant is less firm, and I
has fewer purveyors collecting food for it.

DIFFICULTY OF SETTING AND
RETAILING CLOVER.
We have frequently conversed with Sou
thern gentlemen who complained that they
had often tried clover, and as often had been
mortified by its being burnt up by the
droughts which prevail each summer in
their section of country ; now, without at
tempting to affirm with certainty as to the
result of what we are about to advance, we
would respectfully suggest to all who may
grow clover under such circumstances, the
propriety of sowing orchard grass with their
clover seeds, and always immediately after
cutting their grass, (which should in such;
situations only be once a year,) to sow, in !
the proportion, one bushel of plaister ami
six of salt to the acre, and not to let their!
stock run on the clover. The orchard |
grass, like clover, on good land, may be
cut twice of a season, but where danger is I
to be apprehended from drought, neither
-should be cut more than once, and then
treated as we have suggested. By this ap
plication the growth of the second crop or
after-math would be vigorously pushed for- j
ward, and the herbage, thus speedilv fur- j
nished, would afford shade and protection to j
the roots of the plants, and thus would they !
be saved from the pernicious influence of j
the sun. Independently, however, of the \
good effects to be produced, the luxuriance !
of the second growth of grass, plaister is I
known to be a promoter of moisture, by ab- j
stracting it from the atmosphere, by absor- I
bing and assimilating with the ammonia of
the dews, and by retaining both for a con
siderable time beyond that at which they
would be on unplaistered land. Os salt
we are enabled to speak with a certainty
gained by experience. Some years since,
after preparing an acre of ground with cow
manure for turnips ; after sowing tiic tur
nip seed, we sowed ten bushels of salt on
the surface, and harrowed the seed and salt
both in together. The turnips came up
well, but were destroyed three several
times by the fly. This piece of ground
formed a portion of a five acre lot, all of
which we put in corn the succeeding spring
manuring the lot with a hundred loads of
barn-yard manure. The whole came up
Jinely and grew well, but the part which had
been salted the previous fall, maintained a
much deeper green during the whole sea
son, and the blades on that part remained
green and succelent long after, say three
or four weeks after those on the remaining |
four acres were entirely parched and burnt
up. To the effect of the salt we ascribed, j
at the time, this power to endure the blight- j
ing influence of drought, and we remain of i
the same opinion still. From the rea
sons we have assigned, we are firmly of o
pinion that the means we have pointed out \
would preserve the clover crops in the lo
cations to which we have alluded ; and as
the experiment is one easily tried, we com
mend it to all who may need it.
From the Macon Messenger.
TRANSPLANTING TREES, &c.
Messrs. Editors.—l have often heard the
question asked, when it is the best time to
transplant trees of certain kinds ? 1 pro
pose to give the enquiry a brief reply, as
far as I have been able to form an opinion
from practical experience and observation.
With regard to fruit trees of every kind
1 have generally found those transplanted
in autumn to succeed best, and to suffer
less by the operation, than when removed
in the spring. The most suitable period, I
think to be during the month of November.
It may be commenced with perfect safety
after two or three heavy frosts, by which
the foliage is killed, and falls to the ground.
The advantages attending on early trans.
planting are these. During the winter, the
earth becomes firm and compact about the
roots, and when broken or injured, they
at once commence throwing out new ones
to supply the places, and healing the
wounds ; by which they will be it) a situa..
tion to sustain the usual growth of the spring
with very little injury—and the removal
will impede their growth very ’little.—
Fruit trees may be planted with safety any
time from the fall of the leaf to the opening
of the buds in the spring-—hut the earlier
! the better, I think may be adopted as a'gcn
| oral principal. If anv one wishes to satis
fy himself with regard to this healing pro
cess of the roots of early transplanted trees,
let hitu take one up after it has been put
out a month or two, and he will find it in
operation.
This rule I think will also apply with
safety to any kind of forest trees, such as
we use for shade or ornament, except some
kinds of evergreens; also to most of our
garden shrubbery, with great advantage.—
Much of this is often destroyed by being
transplanted too late in the spring. The
roots are perhaps broken and bruised, and
being on the eve of putting forth leaves and
flowers ; it is deprived ofits natural means
of generating and sustaining them—the
shrubs become exhausted in the effort and
perish, if not before, when the season be
comes hot and dry. Had they been remo
ved in autumn, the roots would be renewed
to a great extent before any substance from
them would be requisite to sustain the trunk
and branches ; and our spring season also
advances with such rapidity, that very lit
tle preparatory time is afforded them, be
fore they have to withstand the intense heat
of summer.
A few rules are requisite to be adhered
to in the transplanting of every treeorshrub,
and there is neither skill, secret or good
luck in the operation, if these be followed.
The tree will live as readily for him who
makes his first effort, as for the most scien
tific gardener.
Ist. Let the trees be carefully dug up,
with the roots as whole as possible—and if
practicable, preserve as much earth around
them as possible—especially evergreens,
which are most difficult to manage when
transplanted.
2nd. W hen the roots are broken or rough
i ly cut off, let it bo carefully done smooth,
i with a sharp instrument, just before putting
j them into the ground.
3d. [('possible, never Ift the root of a tree
| get dry while it is out of the ground. This
i often cannot be avoided ; but to many trees
j it is a great injury, (especially evergreens)
I and by avoiding it, there would scarce be
any danger of losing a single tree. I have
often seen people wonder why they could
not make a tree live that they had trans
planted ; when the secret of their killing it
first to cut it down with the mattock or
spade, and then to season the little remain
ing root, before it was again committed to
the earth.
4th. Always deprive the tree of a consid
erable portion ofits top—the more in pro
portion to the loss of its roots.
sth. A moist, warm day is much more
; favorable than a dry or cold one, and most
! trees are subject to be killed, if their roots
are long exposed to a freezing atmosphere
[ while out of the ground.
6th. Trees should generally be planted
a little deeper than they originally stood—
say about two inches ; if the roots are much
cut or injured, they should be put still
deeper.
7th. The earth should be well packed a
round the roots and trod down firmly ; the
root made wet before the earth is thrown
upon them, that it may at once adhere to
them—and if theearth is flrv, watering will
bo beneficial when the hole is partly filled
up.
Regarding the time of transplanting some
kinds of Evergreen trees, much difference
of opinion exists- With ;i favorite tree in
this vicinity, the Wild Olive, (or bv some
called the Wild Orange, or Evergreen.*)—
I consider the question sa tisfactorially set
tled. About the middle of April is the pro
pertime—but any time in that month is
far preferable to an earlier period. There
lias been much complaint of failing to get
these trees to live ; but I have found none
easier, if taken at the proper time, the roots
reasonably whole, and kept moist while
out of the earth.
I have succeeded best with the Cedar a
bout the last of February', and in March,
just after it had commenced its spring
growth. It requires careful management
both with regard to keeping its roots whole,
and not suffering them to become dry.—
Others, I have been informed, have suc
ceeded very well in planting the cedar in
the months of April and May, and early’ in
tile fall, but I have no personal knowledge
of the fact.
The Magnolia I have found to succeed
best transplanted about the first of March.
They require very careful management in
every respect. They are most likely to
succeed if transplanted small, and the hole
dug large and filled up around the roots
with the alluvial sandy’ soil found on th
banks of rivers or creeks. It is also of
considerable advantage to them, (and per
haps equally so to the wild olive,) to shade
tiie body of the tree from the sun, by an up
right plank placed on the south side during
tiie first summer after planting.
PRUNES.
* It may be well to caution our readers that
the leaves ot this tree contain a deadly poison to
cattle, and as this is the season for trimming
trees, people should be careful not to throw the
leaves or limbs where stock can get at them.

Pencil Cedar. —lt is not generally known
that, if the lining of drawers, in which
clothes are kept, are made of pencil cedar,
no moths or destructive insects will get in
to them ; and as the wood is much cheaper
than wainscot or mahogany, and gives a de
lightful perfume to the clothes contained in
the drawers, these facts only require to be
known to bring it into very general use.

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION
A FULL REPORT OF THE
Geological and Agricultural
SURVEY OF THF
§Yz&YE ©IF ©l©R©o'A a
rai HE Legislature, at tiieir last session, deem-
JL ed it expedient to discontinue ilic salary of
the State Geologist, in consequence of the em
barrassed finances of the State. By this unex
pected movement, the subscriber is deprived of
the means of completing the survey of the State,
on the original plan: il 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 = o happily commenced in 1837, and
pursued with unremitting energy to the present,
the State has been contributing her mite, hum
ble as it may be on the part ol her agent, to the
cause of general science in our country, and the
advancement of intellectual improvement among
her citizens, in accordance with other States of
the 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 tho
Geology of the State, lost to her citizens, ortho
subscriber must depend for support, on individ
ual patronage. Ile is determined to make an ef
tort 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 State, he is confident that, in
making an appeal to their sympathy and patron
age, it will not bo made in \ am,
” That a complete survey may bo 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 miles, being
destitute, of a single correct May, Geography, or
history of the same. A majority of tho citizens
must, from necessity, be unacquainted with tho
rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci
ties of the different sections. Favored as the
subscriber has been, by lour years labor, as
Stale Geologist, in different parts of tho State,
in collecting materials for a complete report of
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, he trusts that he shall he 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 the
survey of the remaining counties of the State,
ind that they shall be finished as they will be
nseded for publication.
