” ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘I. —l I ... ‘t*"- SljgrintUural. From the Boston Courier. MUTATION OF PLANTS. The Courier of November 4th, contains a paragraph from the Kennebec Journal, stating, that “Mr. John Smiley, of that place, last year raised potatoes, as he says, from the fruit or bulbs of the gilliflower. Os the veracity of Mr. Smiley, there is no question : The only question is, can he and his family be all mistaken ?” The Maine Cultivator, also, some time since, contained several brief statements of the alleged change of one plant into another. Thus, according to credible accounts, gilliflower tubers have become potatoes. Tiger lilies have been procured from an aquatic plant, and yellow lilies from the peony. Wheat, in western New-York, has oftentimes turn ed into chess. Barley has been known to produce oats. A respectable gentleman in the town of Mount Vernon (in Maine, we presume,) lately remarked, “that some how or other, he did not know why, the farmers of that town could not raise barley with success. They sow barley, and it comes up oats.” A singular instance of this •as lately mentioned by one of the most respectable physicians of Maine, him self a skilful farmer. When he attended the medical lectures at Dartmouth Collette, he had occasion to sow a patch of barley. It came up, and developed the barley leaf, stock, and heads. In this early state, some cattle broke in, and ate down, in several places, those plants to the ground. The rest grew and ripened into barley, but these sent up new stalks, which, proceeding from the old roots, yielded oats in every case. This is certainly very strange. It would be well for our own curious farmers to try some eaperiments in this way, and inform the public of the result. PROFITABLE FARMING. The question is often asked, how can far ming be made profitable ? I answer by li beral manuring, deep and thorough plough ing and clean culture. 1 will venture to affirm, without fear of contradiction, that no instance can be cited, where a farmer who has manured his grounds highly, made a judicious use of the plough, and cultiva ted with care, has failed to receive an am ple remuneration for the amount invested ; nay more, that he has not received a great er advance upon his outlay, than the aver, age profit derived from any other business. One great difficulty is, that most farmers seem not to be aware of the fact, that the greater the outlay, to a reasonable extent, when skilfully applied, the greater will be the profit; they therefore manure sparing ly, plough shallow, and the consequence is, get poorly paid for their labor. This has raised a prejudice and given a disrelish to the business of farming, especially among those who are in the habit and are desirous of realizing something more from their oc cupation than a naked return ofthe amount expended. The farmer who is so sparing of his ma nure that he can get but thirty bushels of corn from an acre, gets barely enough to pay him for the expense of cultivation, and in addition to this, by the ordinary method of ploughing, his field at each successive rotation, is deteriorating, his crops beeonn less, and in a few years he finds he must a bandon his exhausted and worn-out fields to seek a subsistence for himself and family in some other business, or in some other re gion, where the hand of man has been less wasteful ofthe bounties of nature. Instead, then, of his scanty manuring of ten cart-loads to the acre, which will give him but thirty bushels ofcorn, let him apply thirty loads. This additional twenty loads at the usual price of manure in this part of the country, will cost him thirty dollars.— But he now, instead of thirty buslfels of corn, gets sixty bushels, and the increased quantity of fodder will more than pay for the excess oflabor required in cultivating and harvesting the large crop ovej that of the small one. He has then added thirty bushels of corn to his crop by means of the twenty loads of manure, which at the usual price of one dollar per bushel, pays him in the first crop of his extraoutlay.— E. Phin ney. SALTING HORSES. A curious fact is mentioned in Parker’s Treaties on Salt ; —A person who kept six teen farming horses, made the following ex periment with seven of them which had been accustomed to take salt with their food. Lumps of rock salt were laid in their man gers, and those lumps previously weighed were examined weekly, to ascertain what quantity had been consumed, and it was repeatedly found that whenever these hor ses were fed on old hay and corn they con sumed only from 2j to 3 ounces per day.— This should convince us of the expediency of permitting our cattle the free use of salt at all times, and it cannot be given in so convenient a form as rocksalt, being much more palatable than the article in a refined state, and by far cheaper. A good lump should always be kept in a box by the side of every animal without fear that it will ever be taken in excess.— Farmer's Cabi net. GEORGIA : i W hereas, John C.

A PENNS SAVED IS TWO PENCE EARNED. rriHE Subscriber is now ottering to the Far- JL mers of Georgia, “Ail MS’ YVROUGIIT IRON PLOUGH STOCK,” invented by the Messrs. Seaborn J. & Marshall Mims, of Oe lebbahan county, Mississippi, and patented by them. This PLOUGH in every respect is the most desirable PLOUGH STOCK ever offered to a planting community. It combines durabili ty with convenience—it will last a great, many years without repair or expense, and will admit of every variety of Plough Hoes, (three lootii harrow excepted,) with perfect convenience and facility—it is not heavier than the ordinary wood en stock, yet far stronger, and being so very sim ple in its construction, that any blacksmith in the country can make them. Sample Ploughs may be seen and tried at Mr Dense’s Shop in Mdledgeville ; at Mr. Martin’s Shop in Sparta, and at Air. F. B. Billmgslea’s in Washington, Wilkes county. Let. the Farmer examine the Plough, and he will purchase the right to use them. The Subscriber proposes to sell county rights on the most accommodating terms.

By this unex pected movement, the subscriber is cieprhed of ino means oi completing the survey ol me State, on ihe original plan: n done at all, it must be at individual risk and expense. It isneediess, perhaps, to represent to the en lightened citizens ol Georgia, that by following out the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and pursued with unremitting energy to the present, .ne Stale has been contributing her mite, lium cle as it may be on the part oi her agent, to the cause oi general science in our country, and the advancement oi intellectual improvement among her citizens, in accordance with other States ot the Union. There is but one alternative. In the present situation oi the survey, the work must either be abandoned and the important lnforma tu n obtained by iour years investigation of the ceoiogy of the State,’ test to her citizens, ortho subscriber must depend tor support, on individ ual patronage, lie is determined to make an et .ori 101* the benefit and honor oi Ins adopted State, .o proceed with the survey. Freni termer ex perience oi the unbounded liberality and gene rous hospitality ol ins ieliow citizens, in differ ent parts of the State, 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 ol ihe ti;ate, and the whole consolidated and published ior the imormation and benefit of the citizens, public patronage is most respectfully solicited. A work oi 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 cl the same. A majority ot the citizens must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci ties of the different sections. Favored as the subscriber has been, by iour years labor, as State Geologist, m different parts of the State, m collecting materials lor a complete report ol 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 irom subscription lor the work shall he appropriated to the completion oi the survey oi the remaimug counties of the State, and mat they shall be mushed as they will be needed lor publication.
