RELIEVING CHOKED CATTLE..
Messrs. Gaylord 4- Tucker: —Having
seen in the October number of the Cultiva
tor for 1841, an article from the pen of Da
vid E. Lott of this State, on the subject of
choked cattle, I wish to give you my rente,
dy for that difficulty. Last spring one of
my milch cows fed on turneps was discov
ered to be choked, and on examination, we
found that a large and somewhat long piece
of rutabaga had lodged about half way
down the throat. To relievo her the cow
was cast, a small device was put in her
mouth, and several young lads from 10 to
15 years of age were urged to put their
hands down her throat and endeavor to re
move the root. They refused ; seeing the
cow must soon die, my wife (it was one of
her favorite cows,) passed her arm down to
the shoulder, and drew forth the obstruc
tion. not, however, without having her arm
much bruised either by the teeth of the an
imnl or the iron.
I immediately set about devising some
easier, and yet safe way of relieving cows,
or other cattle similarly choked. I went to
work and made what I shall call a piston,
for freeing the throat of cattle from substan
ces that may lodge in them. 1 made a rod
of tough white oak, (I should prefer hicko
ry,) three feet in length, with a knob on
one end 1) inch in diameter ; the end made
hollowing, while the other was of the same
size for a handle. The middle part was
worked down to £ of an inch, so that it
might be flexible, or spring, in case the an
imal should struggle.
I made, and placed my implement in my
garret, and in a short time I iiad an oppor
tunity of testing its merits. A poor man, a
neighbor, had his cow choked with a potato,
and when I learned her condition, those who
had endeavored to relieve her had left her
and gone home, satisfied she must die. On
my arrival, the cow was much swelled, and
breathed only with the greatest difficulty.
The owner hold her by one horn and the
nose, while I took the under jaw in one
hand, and with the other passed the piston
gently down, shoving the potatoe about six
inches, then drew out the rod carefully, and
the cow walked away and began to graze.
The whole was done in less than half a
minute. The piston should be well oiled
before using, and every owner of cattle
would do well to have such a rod made a
gainst the time of need.

NEW GROUNDS.
From a conversation with our friend, Mr.
Thomas S. Dicken, whose practical know,
ledge of Farming is equal to that of any
gentleman with whom we are acquainted,
we derived the following hints for the man
agement of new grounds:
Cut down your trees in spring or sum
mer, whilst the sap is in full (low ; this ex
pedites extremely the decay of the stumps
and laps. Great advantage is obtained by
cutting your trees as close as possible to
the ground ; your swingletree then passes
over the top of tile stump, and you can
plough much closer to it; besides, the sav
ing of fire-wood is considerable, and if the
tree is a timber one, every body knows the
most valuable part is that next the ground.
After removing your fire-wood, never burn
the laps and leaves, but permit them to re
main upon the surface of the land, two
years, if possible ; by that time, if they
were cut when the sap was up, they will be
greatly decayed. Proceed, then, to fallow
your ground, turning under every thing
that the plough can manage ; if any largo
sticks remain undecayed, they must ■'"of
course be removed by hand. This fallow
ing should be done during the fall or win
ter. In the spring, plant your corn and
take a little pains to cover it with dirt as
tree from the trash as possible. The pro
cess of decay still goes on, and a quantity
of decomposed vegetable matter is obtained,
much greater in quality and quantity, than
could have been derived from the ashes of
the burnt trash
Mr. Dicken, whose experience is very
great, and who attends to every operation
on his farm in person, informs us, that this
system was ofiue accidentally pursued, be
cause it was not convenient to follow the
old, and favorite, plan of burning. He was
astonished at the result; he of course con
tinued it, and lie assures us that he has
never seen such crops of new ground corn
as it is sure to produce.
Here, again, is the cover afforded to the
land for two years producing extraordinary
effects. Mr. Dicken gave no credit to this
fact; but we are satisfied that the office of
covering and sheltering alone, which the
trase had performed for two years, would
have been worth more than any benefits
that could have been obtained by burning.
CONSUMPTION OF MEAT.
There are few tilings in the habits of A
inericans, which strike the foreign observer
with more force, than the extravagant con
sumption of food—and more especially of
meat. Truly we area carnivorous people.
With all our outcry about hard times, the
provisions consumed in America would
support, in health, treble our population in
fiurope. The vast consumption of meat is
not only wasteful, but injurious to health,
and activity, of body and mind. The body
if made of iron, would be unable to perforin
all the functions imposed upon it, we should
suppose, without pretending to any science
on the subject, deleterious to oat meat sup
pers—or to eat a heavy meal immediately ]
preceding any action of body and mind. !
May it not be averred that one half of the j
provisions consumed in this country might •
be saved with certainty of avoiding the nu- |
merous diseases that arise from pelthora,
impaired digestion, and disordered blood !
Let the heads of any family examine, and i
, they will find that a substitution of bread
and vegetables and milk, for three fourths
1 of the meat consumed, would be attended
j with economy and better health.— Amer- j
| lean Farmer.
SUBSTITUTE FOR COFFEE.
The seed of foreign grapes have lately I
been discovered to be an excellent substi- i
lute for coffee. When pressed, they first i
produce a quantity of oil, and afterwards, j
when boiled, furnish a liquid very similar
to that produced from coffee. The prac
tice has become very general throughout
Germany. What next ?
“The Roscommon Journal states that the
magistrates of French park have sentenced
a poor man who declares he had not tasted
food for twenty-four hours, to a month’s im
prisonment and hard labour, for pulling a
carrot from a field of the Rev. John French
who holds sinecure living to the amount of
£IBOO a year. —English paper.
A NEW LOOM FOR FIGURED FAB
RICS.
A correspondent informs us that he has
j witnessed the operation of a beautiful mod- i
| el of a loom for weaving figured fabrics, re-
I cently deposited in the Patent Office by its
ingenious inventor, Mr. O. G. Gilroy.—
j The machine possesses many novelties, one j
| of the most important of which is entirely i
j dispensing with cains and beadles in wea
: ving every description of cloth. The con
’ trivance which the inventer calls woft-pul
; lers, seems really instinct with life, draw
j ing every thread of the wof't tight, after the !
I shuttle has been thrown, and laying it up to !
: the face of the cloth. The combination of
these, with the regular and admirable ar- j
rangement for raising the jacquard, enable i
him to operate the loom as rapidly as the
ordinary loom for weaving cloth.—The
motion for regulating the tension on the
warp roller, and that for stopping the loom !
when the woft-ihread breaks, which act j
with surprising certainty, renders this ma- 1
chine one of the most perfect ever offend to 1
the public notice. Mr. Gilroy has also de
posited some beautiful specimens of silk j
; goods woven in France on his loom. We !
arc informed that Mr. J Wilbur, one of the ;
well-known firm of Messrs. Masters & Cos.,
i of New lork, is now the proprietor of this :
, useful invention.— Nat. hit.

’ Pedigree.—Master Solomon was bred by Phil
more, in 1836, sired by Reveller; his dam by
Lord Barneis, Lord Burners by Jupiter ; Jupiter
! out of Brambush, Brambush by Teddy the Grind
er; her dam by Princess, by Sir Peter; Dun

Sorcerer by Trumpeter; Trumpeter by Conduc
tor, and be by Matchem.
j This is enough to satisfy all men who have
! made themselves acquainted with the Pedigrees
of English blooded Horses, that the Master Sol
omon is as tine a blooded Horse as ever crossed
l the Atlantic. Solomon has never run any Races
! as lie was injured in his left fore leg in coming
j out of the vessel, which mark is there to be seen.
Solomon lias now with him a two years’ old Coli,
j of his own get, which is thought by all who have
1 seen lum, that he cannot be surpassed by any of
; his age. The Master Solomon was imported
j from England to America in 1838, by James
Stow, ot Virginia.

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION
A FULL REPORT OF THE
Geological and Agricultural
SURVEY OF THE
©IF
THE Legislature, at their last session, deem
ed it expedient to discontinue the salary of
the State Geologist, in consequence of the em
barrassed finances of the State. By this unex
pected movement, the subscriber is deprived ot
the means of completing the survey of the State,
on the original plan: if 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,
tiie State has 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
advancement of intellectual improvement among
her citizens, in accordance with other States oi
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 lour years investigation of the
Geology of the State, lost to her citizens, or the
subscriber must depend for 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 iormer ex
perience of the unbounded liberality and gene
rous hospitality of his lellow 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 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 ot this kind,
i.- much needed in Georgia, a State comprising
an area of sixty thousand square miles , being
destitute of a single correct Mag, Geography, or
history ot the same. A majority of 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 lour years labor, as
State Geologist, in different parts of the State,
in collecting materials for a complete report ot
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, he trusts that he shall be able to
meet the approbation ol his follow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that the
proceeds arising Irom subscription tor the work
shall be appropriated to the completion oi the
survey of the remainiug counties ot the State,
and that they shall be finished as they will bo
needed for publication.
