And 2 1 ally, and theoretically, of what use j are they ? or, how do they operate, to produce good eriecta on vegetation ? la regard to the practical effects of ashes as ;t manure. I may concisely remark, that all nty neighbors, who have used them—its well us myself’ can bear testimony to the most favor able results, from their use. as a manure— leached nnd unleached. —formally years, in all the varieties of soil, in our region of country — and we consider them tlte best—that is. in the “ ensemble regarding cost —energy —and per- [ mancncy, the most profitable manure, we j : have ever applied. Secondly, and theoretically—the kiown principles of vegetable physiology, in roinex- j ion with this inquiry will I think, confim this j practical opinion ol the virtues of ashes—be j they leached —or unleached-, and tipo this j point. I propose to offer a few remarks. Without designing to be niinutt—ashes. 1 though they may vary in quantity, and quali i ty, by tlte various plants, or trees, from which they are produced— yet, contain in all cases, i indefinite proportions of “carbonates'"—“sul phates”—and phosphates of “Potash”- i soda,” I “Lime”—and “Magnesia”—with small por i tions of some other substances, held to he j useful to vegetable growth; such as alumina —oxide of iron. &c. A part of these components, in some of their combinations, as potash—und soda, in partic ular, are soluble, and subject to be washed out, as the means are more or less employed j to accomplish it—but a large portion is inso- I luble,—and consequently, not liable to be re j moved by the usual process of lixiviation— j such as the imperfectly bunted carbonaceous | ; matter, —and another large portion. —roughly ! estimated by the best analysis at about nine tenths of their whole weight—of insoluble carbonates—silicates—and phosphates of pot- | ash—lime—magnesia—and alumina —ull of , which remain untouched, by tlte washing, ready to exert their lull influence, as manures. Their soluble, or carbonic alkalies —and their sulphates, and chlorides, may be, indeed, ; chiefly or perhaps wholly removed by the ! washing—but, seldom, 1 think, is the process so j complete as to exhaust them entirely, or reduce ! them so low. as it is said, has beensuggested by Professor Baer at one of his Lectures in St. Mary’s.—as half a pound of potash in a bush el. and that they were, as he thought, of but little value, alter leaching;—he must have ; alluded to the soluble salts —as that portion . ..I potash winch is in silica and phosphoric acids, cannot he removed by the washing:— and. grant, what is very improbable, that all ! the soluble potash should be washed out —yet. it will be conceded, I presume, and the best I analysts have declared the laet. that thebe- I lore named insoluble portion of the salts con- j tained in ashes constitute an essential part of 1 jilte subsistence- —of wheat—oats—rye—bar ley— Indian corn, und other members of the Family of the Grasses, in particular ; as well as of others, in general;—and consequently. ! they require them tor iood ;—and the ashes j 1 containing them, though deprived of their so luble potash, must continue to be a valuable I agent, in the lertilizution of the soil.

Farming and -Ygiicaitninl Education. iTo the Editor ajthe American farmer , | Dear Sir: —As you and many of your intel ligent correspondents have frequently, oflate, noticed my ctlbrts for the promotion of’ Agri culture, and my zeal in behalf of Agricultur al Education, 1 beg leave to say a word to you and your readers in general upon my po sition, and the subject of training youth Ibr the noble but much neglected profession of Agriculture. When, some years ago, I quit the bustling scenes of business and city file, Ibr the quiet and more respectable station of a farmer, or, it’ you please, country gentleman. 1 was ig norant in the main of the duties ol’ the hus bandman: so much so, that I wits sadly im posed upon hy some who sold me had bar gains and misdirected fiy others, who led trie into a bad practice in culture; besides. I was made to endure the exposure tmd vexation at tending upon half work, indifferently perform ed by hirelings, who Ibuinl they had a novice Ibr tlieir employer. The mortification, per- Ipfi.xiu and disappointments, that daily goad ed me. were sufficient to drive me from the I'.irui hack to the eity, in common with many, who had made tlieir debut and retreat before me, to swell the cry of the dangers and ditfi [ culties of farming to all, but the stolid eloiilinp ! per sprouted to the soil. But the fear of be lmg laughed at, or a spirit that would not 1 permit me to look back, having once put my i hand to the plow, staked me to the sod. de termined. with the blessing of Providence, to j | overcome every difficulty, and to never quit i I the field till 1 was master of my new calling : | —master from the pig pen and dung heaps to I i (lie granary and corn crib—from the hen roost ! to tlie cow stable ; Irom the potato patch to the green house; and whoever -ays now, I j am not. let him come to Mount Any, and see. 1 whether 1 am not a Farmer! It may be asked, how did I accomplish it ? I answer, by several ways, hut especially by | reading, and working differently from the practice pursued by the jog-trot codgers, who have advanced so tar as lo discover the grist might ns well be divided in tlie sack, lo bal ance on the horse's back, as to pul it till in 1 one end and a stone in the other; but further than this, they go not. These worthies may be found to this day, in some of the richest [ limestone valleys, applying, in quantity, hot caustic lime upon tlieir newly spread barn yard manure. In the absence of any positive rule or direct teaching, my observation of the untoward system followed in general by oth ers, indicated the course I ought to pursue. This was the broadest nnd plainest leaf of the hook, from which I learned, namely, to uvoid the errors of the common practice. When I came upon my farm, nearly one hundred acres, and at this time not one hun dred and fifty, no common farmer eould pay more than 425 b per aim. rent for it. That was the rate a good farmer, so railed, paid, complainingly; now it would be cheap at one thousand dollars a year, and were it the pru jierty of another, 1 eould pay this rent on a lease tor a term of years, keep my carriage, educate and support my family by tlie farm, in what I would call a genteel sod comforta- ble style of living. This may appear apoc ryphal to some, hut i could refer to many gen tlemen who have visited me from time to time, who would readily admit its entire feasibility. To sum up, as the lawyers would sav, it is only necessary to suite, that mi this larm, of not quite 15b acres. I have kept Ibr years past, some forty or fifty head of fine cnttlc. during I which time 1 filled barns with hay arid grain. | cribs with corn, cellars and pits witli potutoes , and other roots. In |B4t> I mowed, of first crop ! hay.over ldu tons, reaped stlb buslu-lsofgrain. I 100 bushels of oats, husked BlKj bushels of shell ed corn gathered over 10t >0 bushels of choice , sound potatoes, mid the usual large crop of! other roots. Last year, a bad tiny season. Ii mowed over 100 tons, harvested sou bushels I ‘ofgrain, husked some 1 200 bushels of shell- I ed corn. 1 500 bushels of choice, sound pota- , toes, 500 bushels of carrots, 400 bushels of i parsnips, and 1,500 bushels of’ turnips; soldi within the last two years over il 500 worth j of rattle and swine, SIOOO worth of. hotter. I lard. Ac.; have now on hand more than 110 head ol superior cuttle, and a large stock of! the finest swine. There is now in the ground over 30 acres winter retain; 1 have Imuled out ‘ slacked on tlie field. Larn-yurd manure,made I on the pinre, sufficient to plant ti acres ot’jio luti.es this spring, leaving more than enough. 1 well rotted, lur the gardens and the usual crops of carrots, Ac. Ac.—seldom apply any manure, to the corn crop, und it is wholly out of’ the question lo the outs on my land.— ■ .♦ w does not tUvwtppeiii’ nlnnxst in f> slide. ‘if not incredible, nn so small n tarn. ? But it i, susceptible of belief when it is known that I toil the rutile during the months of May and June, which permits the cropping nnd mowing of nearly all the land : this, with tlie judicious nppliemioiM.f the manure, nnd the doing every tiling in earnest uud ns it otvdit to be done, is the whole secret there is no mystery in it. As old Nubley says: Don’t you see!” To tin.se who know me, it wilt not surprise, that finding (lie prolessio i I hud adopted be set with so many dllfieillties to the unenlight ened, as I laid In struggle with in the begin ning, and which liuvo deterred to many from entering upon so desirable a vor ‘ n, that I should take some |muiik to demons! e its . mn uatihility with good Flooding nnd rrsjiectu ble competency, und make un etlort, even some sacrifice, to open a way by wbicli enterprise | and capital might confidently enter upon tlie business of larmiiig and successfully nun | pete with prnli -si null or mercantile exertion j Ibrtlie mend of popular influence, suhstanti.il wealth, tmd exlin!tcd station to say nothing of the serenity, health and happiness that would he theirs, of tin rural scene, compar ed to the condition of those that toil in the noisome nliuosphere of wharves nnd t'l.unl i'tghnusis courts ol'law, or hospitals. How, then, was this to lie brought about / Himply by educating or training lor the Agricultural us well He ibr the. other professions. Why I not 1 The on* otter-’ a better chance, ten t” one, for the attainment of all that is good, great, or desirable, to any of the ot hers, and this may he said Well, but who would think of educating a genteel youth Ibr a farmer l “Aye. there’s the rub I” “Pray, then, Indy mother and ambitious father, what mean you to do with your son after he has finished his education at college ? Make a merchant of him. Why he can't begin to think of merchandizing. The classics, his notions, and habits tire till averse to the detail and speculation of trade. If, when at college, he could have had ships, merchandize, Change, Insurance companies and banks to handle and frequent, the young gentleman's capital and consequence might stand a short run. hut it would be very brief indeed. Whatever Ids erudition might tell Ibr lain with the Lite rati, it would avail him nothing among the “bulls and bears” on Change, or the Pcrcen tunis in the street. To make a sailor, you must bring him aboard through the hause hole, not through the cabin w indow ; so of a merchant, lie must begin ut the beginning— | peddle, il’ he is to be u Girard or an Astor. But to send him to college und expert him to ; thrive in trade— to delve successfully in i “mammon’s dirty mine,” is a huge absurdity ; and so would it measurably be the same, to think ot throwing him on alarm without a i previous training. 1 do not mean, however, that a refined ed ucation unfits tor the pursuits of agriculture I in the same degree as it does for trade ; liy|tio 1 means. The want of it in the farmer makes the boor; its absence in the merchant is sel dom felt. Many opulent inerrhants have been i known who could barely write their names, | uud yet, from mingling ho much with the world, could bear themselves creditably along even in tlie I'a.diiomihle circles. Had tliese | same gentlemen commenced tlieir career as | tillers of tlie soil, and through perseverance 1 and industry had added field to field, till they j became great laud owners, they most likely, in the nature of things, would have lived and died clowns. Hence tile necessity of giving j farmers a liberal education. But. suppose the learned professions he the aim of tlie hind parents —tlie law. for instance. Well then, the youth must undergo a sweat ing study in some attorney's office before lie : can he admitted to the bar; and how long must he contend against tearful rivalry and difficulties before he finds himself favored with a tolerable practice. But allow fie at I. ngtli becomes eminent and wealthy, wliat sacrifices ! must be made in health and en ■ utution be- I fore he shall have found himscll at the sum- I mit of the toilsome ascent ! —to stij nothing t f the little time afforded him through his long ] and weary journey for the duties nnd cnj_,- j un it# of the hejurth Still inn to he deprecated—the medicatin'.

There must be lawyers and djetors, 1 ad mit ; but are there not too many already ! j I and is it not ill-judged in parents, to encour | age their sons to enter upon professions, to , whom nature, perhaps, lias denied the apti tude and talent that give promise of success in ■ aline where competition is so formidable.— I But, unfortunately, the calling of the lawyer and the doctor is held to be genteel, and that of the farmer vulgar; and this, it is to he ! feared, determines the choice of hundreds. How irrational, how ill-advised, let the. dis -1 appointed and broken down practitioners them i selves bear witness! I Impressed, by solemn reflections on this ; state of tilings, anil impelled by a strong de sire to do something towards elevating tiie i character of'the landed interest, I meditated a plan of insirurlion by which respertublc youths might obtain a liberal education, pend ing which. they would be imbued with a love of rural fife, habits conservative of health and morals, and promotive of economy and indus try. To effect this, 1 promised fast year, as you know, to establish an Agricultural Col lege at Mount Airy, provided a inoiety of en couragement would be accorded by the pub lic. The patronage required to justify the ex periment was not yielded, and yet there were ho many that applied, und so general seemed the regret when the project was abandoned, that I telt us though 1 bad not done my wfiole duty in the premises, und cast about in my mind how I might fulfil the expectations I had raised in the public mind, and acquit myself to my own satisfaction. Whilst in lliis mood, the friends of Mr. Wilkinson. Principal of the Dutchess (N-Y.) Agricultural Institute hack ed by his own importunities, proposed that 1 should lease to him the homestead farm, and buildings requisite to his present class and capable of accommodating as many students as I had intended providing for in the college, the sy stem of training to fie the same as con templated fiy me. To this proposal 1 arce ded, in the hope, that to the number of stu dents Mr. Wilkinson could bring from the Dutchess Institute, would he added those that liiul previously applied Ibr admission to ! the Mount Airy College, and thus realize my I long cherished aspirations—l trust 1 shall not be disappointed. Mr. Wilkinsonis an exeel lent practical far- J ; m. r, better grounded than I am in the prin | ciples, mechanism, ami application of agri -1 cultural implements; in hopeful and devoted | to hi* prole.-.-ion—excels in a happy disposi- ; j lion, by which he inspires his students to the : ! most zealous exertion. From George W. Dobbin. Esq. of Baltimore, who lately paid 1 me a visit, nnd who has n son at the Dutch ess institute. I learn that the principal teach- | ter in Mr. Wilkinson's Institute is a gentle- ! I man of considerable merit and talent. With * tliese advantages and my own humble ellbrls j under the lavor of Hun tlint senditlh the I “early and the latter rain,” 1 devoutly hope to witness before I shall lie called hence, tin* Mount Airy Agricultural Institute in tin >\il| j title of prosperity —sending Ibuh graduates j i lo he an ornament to then pr. di ..ions, uud ; setting an example worthy ol’ being fill lowed i by those who desire to live wed hi.

In applying lime to land, if there he much vegetable matter there in, 100 bushels may be applied at once, though we should prefer giving it at four different do ses, co that a portion thereof should be always near the surface, thus providing, by the means of its application, againstjts sinking, owing to its specific gravity, beyond the ordinary reach of the roots of many plants. Where land may be thin, and but sparsely provided with vege table remains, 20, 25 or 30 bushels of lime per acre, would be enough. The ipiantity of mo -I should be regulated.also by the condition t the land, and made to conform thereto ; but i, act advisedly, it would behest to cause t! e marl to be analysed, in order to ascertain ti. relative proportion of calcareous matter, whi. i. it might contain, and then, so to apportion it, as that the soil should only receive such a quantity as would yield to such land as was rich in vegetable matter, 100 bushels per acre of the carbonate of lime and a quantity as above prescribed of lime to that which was hut indifferently provided with such remains. Where an analysis is not practicable, from 200 to 100 bushels of marl would be a safe up plicat.on. either quantity to be regulated by the condition of the soil, whether exhausted or otherwise.

A Itule lor measuring Corn. It may sometimes be useful to kno how to estimate the amount of corn in grr: contained in a crib or storehouse, while it i still in the ear, and we therefore give a stati meat relating to this subject which appeartu in an agricultural paper in the Month. “The following rule for ascertaining the quantity ol shelled corn in a house of any di mensions is by William Murray, Esq. , of } South Carolina, and was read before the St. John’s, Colleton Agricultural Society and I communicated by them for publication in the . Southern Agriculturist; *• Halt Having pieviously levelled the corn ■ in the house, so that it will be of equal depth throughout, ascertain the length and breadth and depth of the bulk ; multiply these dimen sions together, aud their product by 4. then cut off one figure, from the right of this pro duct. This will give you so many bushels and a decimal of a bushel of shelled corn. II i it bu r q ill red to find the quantity of eared | corn, substitute 8 for 4, and cut otf one figu ! as before. Example : In n bulk of corn in the. ear 12 leet long, 11 feet broad, and 6 feet deep, there will be 316 bushels and 8-lOths of a bushel ol shelled corn, or 633 bushels and G-lOths ofenr corn ; us 12 X 11= 132 X 6= 792 X 4= 316 8; or 12 X 11=. 132-X 6= 792 X 8= 633-6. The decimal 4 is used when the object is to find the quantity of shelled corn, because that decimal is one half of 8, and it requires two bushels of ear corn to make one bushel of shel led corn. In using these rules, halt a bushel may b* added for every hundred ;thut amount >f ears results from the substitution of the leciinnU. The term “h lof corn.’so much used by southerners, means five bushels ol studied corn.”— Oh utter. Yankee Mooufkctc ry. In the village ol Dimiiughuin.
