The Sixth Anniversary oflhe N. York
Horticultural Society, was celebrated on
the 30th ult. at the Union Hotel, kept by
jl r> Combanlt, near the upper end of
Broadway* 'Lie members n??embled
at three o’clock, and after the transacts
"on of the preliminary business, proceed
ed to the election of officers for the en
suing year, when the following gentle
men were elected to the several offices
auiscdto their names.
Martin- Hoffman, President.
Wit. Wilson, Vice-President.
Peter Hattrick, Treasurer.
Michael Floy, Secretary.
Standing Committee.
John McNab, Win, Curr, James Dick
Thomas Hogg, James McBrair, William
Fairbairn.
The election having been concluded,
at half past four, dinner was announced,
and ihc company ushered into the (lin
ing hall, so richly and fancifully deco
rated as to create surprise, astonishment
and delight.
The chair of the President was sur
mounted by a beautiful alcove of the fin
est flowers, unsurpassed bv any tiling
we have ever seen before, in luxuriance
and fragrance. The table was decked
in the richest manner with flowers of all
seasons, and of various climes—making
an exhibition of taste A: elegance, which
gratified the sense with the view of the
(lost charming of nature’s productions
in many of their most interesting beau
ties—and with odors, that transported
the imagination back to scenes and day
of romance, when the true knight and
the fair heroine wandered in enchanted
ground, while ’neath their footsteps flow
ers sprang spontaneous, and the zephyrs
only armed them with the breath of ros
es. At a single coup d'ail, could be
seen roses of many and scarce kinds—
the cluster monthly, the white cluster
musk, the dark red, and the tea-scented
ever flowering roses, pink? of many
sorts, mary-golds and coxcombs, ama
ranths, and China asters of great varie
ties—the gondonia pnbescens, sym-
phoria racimosu, the vinea major, and a
fine ucw species of rnctnas from Cartha-
geua, added not a little to the beauty of
the exhibition, while French and Afri
can mary-golds, and China pinks seemed
to represent to the goddess Flora, liei
subjects in the various parts of the world.
Indeed, a more sumptuous, display of
nil the delicacies of the kingdom of flow-
ei?, can scarce be imagined, and had
notour bodily senses given us undoubt
ed information of the actual corporeal
presence of mere mortal?, imagination
might have converted the room into the
saloon of Flora, and fancied herself seat
ed beneath the canopy, receiving the
inccuse of ndoratiou from her enamour
ed worshippers.
Tic; tabic was loaded, not only with
luostantial dishes, but with a variety and
profusion of vegetables, such ns we have
never before witnessed—this vegetable
supply was made up of contribution?

interspersed with a variety of speeches
and song? :

to this subject in America ; but the im

and important, may be prosecuted with

and produce like advantages.

Great improvement may lie made by sc
lerting seeds from the earliest, most vigo
rous and thrifty plants. Even wheat for
seed lias been picked from the field by such
single, heads as were, inn?? forward, vigo
rous, large .and filled with the most plump
and sound berry ; and io that way a gra
dual improvement of the kind may he in
troduced. If we were about to purchase
garden seeds, we should wish to be inform
ed in what neighborhood or fraternity of
other vegetables they grew. Different sorts
ot plants ot the same or a similar species,
impart to each other their respective quali
ties. T us if the genuine rutabaga grew
m ar the common turnip, or turnip-cabbage,
the seeds of the former will have in part the
peculiarities of the latter, and vice versa
If a mangle worlzel root, intended for seed,
ha? grown near a plant of the common kind
of beet which has likewise gone to seed,
the seeds of each plant will partake in some
degree of the qualities of the other. You
should never save seeds from such water
melons, inuskmelons, squashes, encumbers,
pumpkins, gourds, fce. as have grown near
l'ucIi other, unless in your crop from such
seeds you would like to have melons which
have somew hat the flavor of squashes, en
cumbers, which taste a little like pumpkins,
nd pumpkins not much sweeter than gourds.
There can he no cross between a cabbage
and a carrot ; but them can bo between a
cabbage anil a t irnip ; between a cabbage
and a cauliflower, nothing is more colu
mn, and the different kinds of cabbages
will produce crosses presenting twenty, and
perhaps a thousand degrees from the’ early
York to the Savoy. Turnips w ill mix with
radishes and rota baga ; all these with rape ;
the result will mix with cabbages and cau
liflowers ; so that if nothing were done to
preserve plants (rue to their kind, our gar
dens would *oon present ns with little be
sides mere herbage. To save the seed to
tw o sorts of any tribe, in tho same garden
in the same year ought not to he attempt
ed ; and this it is that makes it difficult lor
any one mau to raise all sorts of seeds good
and true.
Seeds should stand till quite ripe, should
tl'.en he gathered when dry. If when
threshed or shelled any moisture remain
attached to them, they should he dried in
thu sun or near a fire " They are best kept
in a room where there i. occasionally at
least, a fire in the winter. They are must
securely kept in the pods or on the stalks ;
but this is sometimes inconvenient, and of
ten impracticable, unless it be for such ns
are very valuable, very curious, and lie in
a small compass. Mr. Gobbet says that
greut tare is necessary to avoid the use of
unripe seed. “Even in hot weather, when
the seed would drop nut, if the plants were
left standing, pull or cut the plants and lay
them on a clulh In the sun till the se-d be
all ready to fall out : for if forced from the
pod the seed is never so good. Seed w ill
grow if gathered when they arc green as
grass, and afterwards dried in the sun ; but
they do not produce plants like those com
ing from ripe seed, i tried some years ago,
fifty grains of wheat, gathered greeo, u-
gninst fifty gathered ripe. Not only were
the plants ol the former feeble when com
pared with the latter; not only was the
produce of the former two thirds less than
tile latter, but even the quality of the grain
was not half so good. Many of the ears
had smut, which was not the case wish
those that came from the ripened seed,
though the land and Ihe cultivation were in
both cases the same.” Other writers ad
vise not to reap wheat infected with smut
till fully ripe and perfectly dry, and accord
ing to Mr. C. wheat intended for seed should
in all cases be allowed to become quite ripe
before it is reaped.
A writer whose observations are quoted
with approbation in the “ Complete Farm
er,” an English work of authority, says, “ I
never thresh the sheaves which are to sup
ply me with seed till just when I want to
make use of it. I havo a notion that the
seed keeps better iri the covering nature has
given it—I mean the chaff, than it would do
without it; and I am pretty certain it

We cannot forbear adding a few re
marks on the importance ar.d the utility
of the objects which (his Society has in
view. A few moments’ reflection will
suffice to convince us that in (mint ofj bran being preserved in a tenderer and more
practical usefulness, it may compete with i yielding state than it ^ would he were it
adapted to their increased neces-ities,
will have found more congenial climates,
and every thing will denote the prepara
tions of Autumn to deliver up the domin

promptings of reason and instinct in pre
paring for a comfortable and happy win

of i'hildti(hro|iy will brave the tempest
and the storm to rescue from misery
and death Ihe unfortunate nnd wretched.

ELECTION OF A POPE.
We translate from the Constilutionel
of the 30th Aug. the following historical
details as lo the election of Popes, which,
in actual circumstances, seem to us of
interest.—A". Y. American.
The election of a Pope is an impor
tant affair iu Christendom. The man
ner of giving a head to the Church haa
like all other earthly things, undergone
changes. Ttie first four Popes designat
ed their own successors ; after that, the
clergy of Rome rendered themselves
masters of the election The Emperors
ot the West, the Greek Kings, the suc
cessors of Charlemagne, aftei wards ob
tained a share in the electi >n ; but (he
Romans, gradually shak g otf their de
pendence on the Emptrir-. no t eger
invited the foreign ambassadors to the
election of the Popes.
1 he clergy ol Rome began inseustuiy
to deprive the people of the share which
they Rad till then, in Ihe election, and
excluded them entirely towards the mid
dle of the 12th century ; finally, thir
ty'?'* years after, the Cardinals began
to arrogat* to themselves the right of
electing.
As soon as the holy father expires,
the Cardinal Camerltngo in a violet
drees, goes to his door ; knocks at it
three times, with a golden hammer, and
at each tune calls on the Pope in a loud
voice, by Ins baptismal family and papal
names. Alter a short pause, he says, in
presence of (he clerks of the chamber
and 11.e apostolic notaries, who take a
formal note of the ceremony, he is dead

And rvpn in the few instances when
mortality is suffered (o linger past the
the improvement of ihe lings, is as cheap
a food, if not cheaper than can he given
them. 1 lie action of the fire, by dissi
pating the crude juices that are contain
ed iu raw potatoes, reduces them to a
state highly wholesome and nutritions.—
Boiling does this in part, hut not so ef
fectually. A potatoe roasted partakes
much of the nature of a chesnut, and
perhaps is not greatly inferior to it.”
Air \V. Pierrepont says “ Potatoes
cured by baking ure not so apt to turn
sour, or scour the cattle ; are more dry,
so that the animal fed with them drinks
a deal more, and they become more hard
when cold, so as to he flung to tiie stock
with more convenience than when steam
ed.’’ They were used chiefly, in fat
tening neat cattle and sheep. But pig?
were likewise fattened with baked pota
toes, and the pigs were well flavored,
particularly the fat. The pigs had to-
w .rds the latter end a few whole peas
after each meal.”
If your object is merely profit in ful
ling your hogs you must lake time for
the process, and thus make them tho
roughly fat. A farmer stated the result
of some experiments in the Bath Socie
ty papers, “ I invariably found that the
quantities of food consumed [by falling
hogs] increased every week, (ill the ani
mal became tiiree parts fat : after this
period they ate hut little ; and almost
all they ate turned to fat. It is there
fore, good policy to make them coin
pletely fat : and that cun only he done
by giving lime.” Very fat meat, how
ever, i? less palatable, and less whole
some tor common family consumption
than that which is less so ; but it will,
we believe, commouly command a high
er price in market, and is to be prefer
red for many uses.
Ue have alluded to some apparent
diflerences of opinion amongst agricul
tural writers on the subject of making
food sour for fattening s^ine ; and ex
pressed our apprehension that the wash
might bn injured making it too sour.
We have, since that was written, pern-
communication addressed lo the
Hon. Ltchard Peters, President of the
Penn. Agri. Society, by J. P. De Gru-
chy, who appears to have been well ac
quainted both with the theory and prac
tice ot this branch of rural economy.
This gentleman, says “ 1 differ with
you, with respect to sour wash being the
most grateful and alimentary to sivine.
In England I know such an opinion pre
vail? ; hut in this climate 1 am certain,
mine eat most, and thrive best while it is
szvect." I o this Judge E’elers replies,
" My experience has uniformly been fa
vorable to the sour wash both for health
and economy ; much less gram or
meal will -office ; and its fermentation
with w ,ter fixes ihe saccharine quality
90 essential to nutrition.” The first or
saccharine state of fermentation ingrain
or mealy substances, generates sugar, or
converts, the starch in the fermenting
substance into sugar ; but if the process
of fermentation proceeds rapidly, it is
sugar (which is the substance
wash, (or feeding hogs or-other animals.
1 Ins position may he illustrated by v. hat
some writers call the panic fermentation,
or that process of nature, by which
dough is fermented so as to- become
most suitable for making bread. The
precise time when bread should he put
in the oven is when it has undergone
such a degree of fermentation as to cor
rect the heaviness and insipidity of Ihe
flour, or lias arrived at (he first degree
of acidification. And if Ihe dough was
intended to feed swine, it should be giv
en them in that slate of its fermentation
when it would make the best bread. If
it becomes decidedly acid it has lost a
tary,” or nourishing and wholesome, as
well as most toothsome. It is snid to be
foolish to dispute about the tastes of hu
man beings (i/e guestibus non est dispu-
tandum) and it in surely much greater
folly to dispute about the taste of a hog,
when the animal is ready to decide for
himself. Perhaps, however, a cliang*
of diet, as regards sweet or sour food,
may prove useful, and if hogs are found
to prefer the former, yet now and then
an acid mess may give an edge to their
appetites ; or if food a little sour is best
for tlieir general consumption, now and
then a sweet mess may he given for the
sake of variety.
It is said that hogs thrive best when
there are but three or four in the same
apartment as a pen. They ate fund of
society, but are apt to degenerate into a
*' swinish multitude,” and become ex-
< e di .gly riotous if congregated in a
large assembly. As they know no law,
and acknowledge no right hut the right
of the strongest, they sometimes con
demn a weaker brollier in a popular as
sembly, a? the Athenians did Socrates,
and proceed to execute him without
judge or jury. The stye, therefore,
should have a number of apartments se
parated by close partitions, and there
may be a general feeding trough, lo
which each division of animals may have
separate access.
The experienced farmer need not be
told that fatting hogs should have now
and then a dose of brimstone and anti
mony given with their fond, in order to
preserve their health and increase their
eppetite. But there may he some who
never knew, or do not remember, that
rotten wood thrown to them occasionally
will be devoured with avidity, and serve
as an absorbent of acrid juices, which
might otherwise occasion a disorder
which, in human subjects, is called dys
pepsia, or indigestion. It is likewise
said that to throw them now arid then a
few pieces of charcoal will answer the
same purpose. At any rate, those sub
stances cun do no harm, and if the swine
have an appetite for them they will
doubtless prove beneficial.
