From the Western Farmer.
Cii Transplanting.
There is no operation more important to the i
agriculturist than that of planting out fruit I
trees; because, if properly performed, the ben- -
efils of the operation are for himself and for ,
his posterity. Hence, the damage of intro
ducing improper practices founded upon un- (
sound principles. in planting.
Having observed in your November number
ofthe Western Farmer, some “Notre on Trans- '
planting,” copied from the New York Farm r, I
recommending the planting out of trees with- 1
out lopping off any part ofthe top or branch s j
and apprehending that the reasoning in fa- j
vor of that practice is incorrect, and might j
mislead, to their injury, the co ifiding and tn-1
experienced, I beg leave to offer a few obser
vations on the subject.
The author of those “Notes,” it appears to
me, reasons badly, when he draws an argu
ment in favor of his new theory, from the fact
of the greatest success in planting a young
thee “with its limbs and roots entire,’ than “lhe
larger one with the system of decapitulatio ■
practised upon it.” He infers that the differ
ence arises from the amputation of the branch
es—whereas it proceeds from lhe greater loss
ofthe roots, in digging up the largei.than th
young tree. In removing a young plant, it is
quite practicable to retain a much larger pro
portion of the extremities ofthe small fibrous
roots, adapted to the introsusception of the
plant, than, of a large tree. There can be no
doubt that the roots are more essentially the
life sustaining members ot plants than tin
branches —therefore, w hen a tree (small or
great) is removed, the chance ot its living de
pends more upon retaining a due proportion
of its most essential members.
The soundness ot theories may sometimes !
be tested by pushing the principles on which
they rest to their extremes. —Let us see wheth
er the theory here controverted can stand this
test—Plant "a joung tree with its branches ,
and rootsentire. It will live—cut off a branch,
it will live—cutoff several, it wi'l still live—
nay, cut off the whole, leaving only the stem,
and it will not only survive, as a thousand in
stances have proved, but b.-itig sustained by ,
the roots, it will put out new branches and will '
flourish.
Plant another tree with its branches and
roots entire— try the same process of' amputa
tion on the roots, and ere you reach the last
roof, the branches will wither, and the tree
will decline and die.
An argument in favor of the new theory is
attempted to be founded on a supposed analo
gy between vegetable and animal life. “But
(says its author,) would auy person in his sen.
ses think of cutting off a child’s arm because
it had the misfortune to lost its foot?” Cer- ■
tamly the author of the notes, in this question, !
loses sight entirely of the supposed analogy. 1
The food of an animal is not constituted an
organ to receive through its pores nourishment ,
for the sustenance of the body, as the roots are .
of a tree. The stomach in an animal is this
organ. Now let us suppose the stomach to
be wounded or impaired, so as not to be able
to perform adequately the functions of receiy : .
ing, preparing, and
is llie consequence?
“ s,by an invariable law of nature, the bulk
'of substance to be supported, must be reduced,
the bodv and limbs fall away and dwindle,
sometimes almost to a skeleton. But when
the stomach recovers its tone, and performs
properly its functions, then the body and limbs
begin to recover, and assume their wonted
size and fulness. So when the roots of a tree
have been reduced or impaired, to a degree
which leaves them incapable of supplying ad
equate nourishment for the whole tree, body
and limbs, the same law' ot nature ordains, that
a portion of the substance to be supported,
must be reduced—the Limbs wither, dry, and
decay: and who ever yet saw a dry dead
twig, restored so as to vegetate?
As then, in the cases supposed, art is inca
pable of reducing the bulk of the animal, but
nature is competent both to reduce and restore ,
-tree, leaving only as much as ctn be support !
ed by the appendant root, —and as reduction, |
of the bulk to bo supposed, is indicated in both
cases when the sustaining organs are impaired I
it would seem that the analogy is clearly in
favor of trimming off a portion of the limbs,
ho as to leave the top of the tree proportioned
to the remaining root.
But farther —is not this new theroy entirely
at war with the system of pruning? done for
the double purpose of preserving the tree, and
improving the fruit, a system which has stood
the test of ages, and h is the sanction of expe
rience.—the best guide to young agriculturists.
But facts are the best arguments in these
matters. About 30 years ago 1 tiansplauted
a pear tree into my garden. It was seven
inches through, dug up in December, in freez
ing weather. To save it I trimmed off most
of the top, so much as to admit of its being
carried into a cellar to preserve it for the night
from the frost. Next day it was carried a
mile and planted. It ts yet a good bi anng tree.
About ten years past 1 transplanted a bearing
Juuettmg apple tree more than halt grown,
cutting off most ot the top. TL his year it bore
the best and largest apples of any Junetting
tree in my orchard.
Some four or five years past a neighbor of
mine transplanted from the forest to his yard . '
a verv uncommon and beautiful tree, bearing ;
berries —desirous of saving the top, he trim
med ofl none, and the tree died.
Such facts could be advanced without num
ber. s.
Reclaiming AVa*te Lands.
When we look about us in different pr rts of
the State, we cannot help being struck with
the amount of waste lands on every side.
These appear in shape of pastures grown up
to bushes—in the form of swamps full of id
ders and birches, and in bog land which would
bear excellent grass if the moss and the hard
hacks were destroyed. Many, who undertake
to redeem some of their lands do it but par.
tiallv. and as a consequence of not going
through, have it to do o er again every year
or two. —For instance we know a man who
has mowed or cut down his alders four or five
times, and they as often sprung up, and soon
gave him another crop. —A better way to
manage this kind of grswth is to pull them out
by the roots, by rrftans of ox labor. A chain
put round them near the roots, and so fastened
as to form a noose which will slip up as pull
ed upon, and a hand to bend the tops over, the
contrary way from which the oxen pull, will
eject them root and branch, they will never
start again. Another methed is to have a large
stout iron hook made for the purpose; an eye
may be made at one end into which to fasten
the chain. This may be hooked into the
roots and they maybe twitched out with ease
and despatch.—A yoke of oxen and a couple
| of hands will clear up and effectually too, a
! goodly piece in a day. In regard to bogs —ai-
; ter they have been ditched i.i a proper manner
• so as to make them sufficiently dry—the ap
plication of fire in the spring will in a few
| years effectually clear off such foul sluff as eu- I
i cumber them, and hinder the growth of better I
i productions. In this way much ofthe waste |
Hands which now disfigure the face of the!

WHILE numerous Literary Periodicals are

I general regret, that since the discontinuance o
I that able work, the Southern Review, there has
i been no Magazine established in South Carolin?
; affording a suitable medium through which th. (

| It is with a view to meet this demand, that the J
I publication of this Journal is proposed—and that j
the general and substantial support ofthe citi- |
zens ofthe outn, is respectfully solicited _ |
j The proposed Magazine will consist ot < >ngin
! al communications on Literary and Scientific
( subjects, of notices of recent publications, par
I ticuiarly in the department of light and fugitive
' j Literature, of popular >t!es suggested by histo-

At a meeting of The Literary dj- Philosophical I
Society of South Carolina, convened on the 27th j
March, 1835, the following Resolution was of- (
sered b>' Benjamin Elliott, Esq. seconded by (
Myer M. Cohen, Esq. and unanimously adopted l
“ Resolved, That 7'Ae Literary and |
Society understand, with high gratification, th: j
Mr. Whitaker is about commencing a monthl? |
Journal, to be devoted to the advancement ol '
southern literature, and, with pleasure, declare '
their opinion of his full qualification for such an (
undertaking, and comply with his request to be (
permitted to publish the proceedings of the soci

Induced by the extraordinary sale of his beau
tiful edition of MARRY'ATT’S NOVELS, tiie
Publisher of those works will, on the first day ol
Julv, commence in the same faultless style, an
edition of the celebrated
Bulv/er’s Novels,
Comprising— Pelham, Devereux, Disowned, Eu-;
'rene Aram, Rienzi, Paul Clifford, Last Days of
°Pompeii, Falkland, Pilgrims of the Rhine,
Making an uniform edition of nearly 1500 pages
—four hundred more than Makryatt. They
will be published in semi-monthly numbers, j
each of which will contain one complete work,
with title-page and cover. The whole series
will be completed in eight numbers, and will be
furnished to Subscribers at the extraordinary
low price of three dollars and fifty cents, paya
ble in advance. Thej will be sent by mail,
carefully packed, to any part of the U. States
or Canada.
Three complete sets may be had for ten dol
lars, by directing orders to that effect, enclosing

NOTICE.
The publication of the above, as stated, will
be commenced in July. The trifling delay that
took place in the regular publication of the
Marryatt Novels, and which was occasioned by
the frequent reprints of the early numbers, and
the uncommon severity of the winter, which
prevented the making and transporting of pa
per, need not be expected in the Bulwer No
vels. The Subscriber did not anticipate the
very favorable reception that .Marryatt would
meet with He thought the sale would be large
—but not enormous —and is now better able to
judge what number of copies it will be neces
sar\ to print; added to which, the publication
will be commenced and concluded before the se
verity of winter commences.
In another point, the experience of the pre
. vious publication lias suggested an improvement
in a future. Where more than one Subscriber
resides in a place, the numbers will be sent flat,
' and not folded. They will then be received by
’ the Subscriber in as good order as it taken im
‘ mediately from the Proprietor’s Office. This
; will be a great improvement.
In January next another republication of some
f celebrated medern Novelist will take place, ejth-
er James, Cooper, or some other o. e
qual repute. It is determined by the present
Publisher, that the American public shall be
furnished with the most beautiful, and at the
same time cheap, edition of modern Novelists
extant. . , „ L . e
CCj-' As soon as an authenticated Portrait ot |
Captain Marryatt can be obtained, the Subscri
ber will have it engraved for his edition oi the
Marryatt Novels.

PROPOSALS
For publishing in the Town of Washington,
(Geo.) a weekly periodical, to be devoted
to the cause of the Botanical System
of Medicine, entitled
Tho Botanical Review.
In launching forth upon the world, and as
suming the responsibility of such a design, we
arc aware that many obstacles will naturally
arise us obstructions to this great undertaking;
andjhat we shall subject ourselves to the con- ' .
tempt of some, and the ridicule of others. But I ■
believing as we do, that not only our own inter- j
est, as well as the interest of many ot our fellow
beings, is involved in the promulgation of cor- i
rect knowledge upon the subject of this per- j
secizted system of Medical Reform, we are de
termined to bear the reproach that may be heap
ed upon us, looking for a rewatd m the success
which may attend our exertions.
This publication is designed tor the dissem
ination oitruth in support ofthe Botanical Sys
tem of Medicine; and such other information j
upon the treatment and cure of diseases, as
may be for the general good of its readers. j
With this brief and comprehensive view of
I tiie subject, we shall leave the design with the
I friends of the cause in Georgia. It is (the
j system) evidently increasing both in interest
and numbers', but, cannot flourish to any great
extent, unless assisted by the circulation of a
well conducted periodical. And we do hope,
that the friends of the cause will not cease their
efforts until the storm of prejudice and persecu
tion has subsided, and a copy of this work is |
found in every family.
The work shall be issued, as soon as 800 i
subscribers are obtained. It shall appear on I
superior medium paper, containing 16 octavo
' pages per week, at 85 per annum, payable on
’ the reception of the first number. Thus mak
ing a volume of 832 pages per year.
1 'Die services of a gentleman oftallents and
medical attainments will be secured as editor
1 of the above work. And we assure the public
generally, that no pains shall be spared to make
it both useful and interesting.
! We request that subscription papers may be
! returned to us at Athens, Geo, by the 20th
> of December next.
’ (hj”Editors in this, and the adjoining States,
‘ i are respectfully solicited to give the above a
1 few insertions.

DYSPEPSIA
ANO
X.3VER COMPLAINTS.
l he Patent Vegetable Medicine Stom
achics et Hepaticje, formed by chymical
j analysis and synthesis of several proximate ve
i getable principles, are universally acknowl
edged to have totally eclipsed the pretensions
of every other remedy, and superceded the ne
cessity of every other mode of treatment where
ever the above diseases are found to exist, as
well as in enlargement of the Spleen and in
Jaundice.
j Among the symptoms of Dyspepsia and Liv-
I er-complaints, are flatulency, sourness orburn
(ing in the stomach, melancholy, irritability,
I disagreeable taste m the mouth; great irregu
■ larity of appetite, which is sometimes voracious,
i and at other times greatly deficient: thirst, fetid
j breath, nausea, weakness ofthe stomach, acid
eructations, palpitation, drowsiness, irregulars
ity ofthe bowels, pressure on the stomach af
ter meals, pain in the head, dizziness or ver
tigo; confusion of mind, attended with loss o
memory, a gnawing in the stomach when emg,
ty, chilliness, affection of sight and hearins
pain and weakness in the back, languoi, did
j turbed sleep, cold feet, and hands, tremor, un
-1 easiness in the throat, cough, pain in the side
or breast, &c.
These Medicines havs been found so effec
tual, in removing the complaints for which they
are recommended, that physicians frequently
have recourse to them f»r their patients, after
having exhausted all their skill, to little or no
purpose.
DR. PETERb
Vegetable Anti-Billious Pills
1 ! Are the cheapest and most approved Family'
Medicine ever offered to the Public They
• are extremely mild in their operation, neither
i causing sickness of the stomach, nor any un
pleasant sensation in the system, as is too fre
quently the result from medicines given to act
upon the bowels. They act specifically upon
» the Liver, when in a torpid condition, carrying
. I off a large quantity of bile, through the influ
f ence of the excernent function, which, if suf.
1 sered to remain in the system, would produce
3 either Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Bilious Fe
’ ver, Fever and Ague, or some other grievous
bodily affliction. In all cases of torpor of the
' bowels, they act like a charm. In recent cass
es of Dyspepsia, they are a certain cure. Ma
,■ ny persons who were subject to violent attack-
2 of sick head-ache, have been much benefited,
and several perfectly cured in a few weeks by *
' iheirtise. They are highly recommended as
( a preventive and cure of Bilious complaints.
’ Persons who are subject to that distressing
complaint, sea-sickness, by taking a portion or
two of them a few days previous to embarking
on board the vessel, will be almost certain to
; escape it. Females <r>i> use them at all pe
risk.

stomach and bowels, thuSsuffering to be ab
sorbed and mingled with the blood, unassimi
i lated fluids, that most diseases are produced.
I Dr. P. feels confident that no person who gives
I these Pills a fair trial, will ever after feel will-
I ing to b<! without them. The testimony of i
thousands speaking in the highest terms of
their efficacy, might be added, but the v ry
high reputation Dr. P has acquired as the in.
veutor of the “ Patent Vegetable Mtdicina
Stomachic ee et Hepatica,” for the cure of Dys
j pepsia and Liver complaints, is thought a suf-
I ficient guarantee to those wishing to make a
i trial of their virtues. They contain not a par
ticle of Mercury, or any ingredient that does
not aot in harmony with health and oppose
disease.
Dr. P. having been educated under the most I
eminent American and European Medical pro- j
lessors, and praticed his profession many years
I in the South, where diseases ofthc most obsti- •
I nate character prevail, considers himself well i
I qualified to judge on the nature of diseases in-
I cident to warm climates.

I be expedient to make arrangements to issue a
Monthly Literary Magazine, to be called
THE ATHENIAN.
The undersignea were appointed by the So
ciety a committee of publication and joint Edi
tors of the work, until the next meeting of Ute
Society We have no interest in the work, ex
cept that which we take in the welfare of the
country and honor of the State. We, of the
South, have too long depended upon foreign
parts for our Literature, and neglected our own
talents. AV e sha. Ibe weak so long as we think
we are weak: and dependent until we make es- 1
forts to be independent. We hope all the friends
of Literature in the State, and especially the
Alumni of Franklin College, will patronize the
enterprise both by word and deed. State pride
the love of Literature, our interest in the cause
of general Education, all call upon us to sustain
an enterprise so necessary to our improvement,
and the honor of the State.
