.Morton's Pulmonic Expectorant Cough
Syrup,
For Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, Consumptions and Whoop
ing Coughs.
A .MONO the numerous complaints with which the
J*- human family are aflicted, none are more common
than coughs’ colds, &c. and none more fatal in their re
sults, unless timely care is taken to stop their progress
before they become too firmly seated upon the lungs.—
Notwithstanding the many remedies that have been of
fered to the public, not any have heretofore proved sue
: ceessfuldh procuring a certain and speedy relief.
The proprieter having been an eye witness (for sever
al years) of the astonishing virtues of this extraordinary
1 Medicine, at length deems it his duty to offer it to die
public, in a way that it may receive a more extensive
circulation: and at a price that the poor may receive the
benefit of it as well as the rich.
This syrup is particularly efficatious in removing
coughs arising colds, attended with hoarseness and sore
ness ahont the windpipe; likewise shortness of breath
ing, tightness acres the breaht, accompanied with a
tickling cough : and in all consumptive cases its use is
uarticiunrlv recommended, likewise whooping cough is
rreutly relieved by its use—children laboring under this
Jistressing disease, in innumerable instances have been
astonishingly benefitted in a tew days: the pleasentness
of it is a great advantage, as children will take it with
as much pleasure as they will preserves.
N. B.—The directions accompanying each bottle will
be signed by lUm. L. Perkins, the sole proprietor.—
Each bottle is senled with the impression of Morton’s
pulmonic expectorant cougii syrup, plainly stamped
on it.
For certificates, see the directions.

PATENT MACHINE SPREAD
STRENGTHENING PLASTER.
IN the preparation of these very Sujierior and Lie,
gant Plasters, no cost or trouble is spared to ensure
possible degree of perfection, in point of utility, elegance
and comfort. They arc spread of various sizes on kids
of thr best quality, by Machinery, invented expressly for
he purpose, (which gives them an advantage over every
piaster heretofore offered to the public) as by this means
il. v can be made of a uniform thickness, and free
Frc the inequality of surface which frequently prevents
olht sfrom adhering, or renders them irritating and
uncomfortable, an objection, which it is impossible to
avoid by the usual method of spreading Plasters
The composition used in these Plasters, is carefully
prepared at a lower temperature, from a combination o
valuable Resinous Gums, with the ad-mixture of sever |
al choice aromatics, entirely separated from all extra-:
neous and irritating particles; and from its peculiari
combination of highly strengthening, anodyne and
slightly stimulating properties it affirds a pleasant ami
effectual remedy, in all cases of pain in the side and
nreast, weakness or oppression of the chest; jiain or weak '
ness of the hark or loins ; Also, in the sense of sinking j
and fairness at the pit of ihc stomach, accompanying
Dyspepsia and Ijver Complaint. In Rhematic, or pain
ful affections of the limbs or joints, their Anodyne and
Stimulating properties render them particularly benefi
cinl. lit Colds-, Coughs, or Asthmatic Affections, they
will be found to give immediate and permanent relief.
Persons who from sedentary habits, or other causes, art
predisposed to affections of the lungs, will find these
•'I 'sters an effectual security against those pulmonary
attacks which prove but two frequently, (when ncglec
ed) the precursory symptoms of Consnmjitwn ; and ill
deed iir n climate like ours, where colds snd coughs air t
an almost unfailing consequence of the sudden changes
to wnieh all are subject, every one at all liable to sutler
from the influence of these causes would find the great
est possible security in having his chest and lungs pro
tected by one of these invaluable Plasters.
To children siitlcring from Whooping Cough, or
Colds affecting the chest or lungs, the sedative and ano
dyne properties ofthese Plasters, allbrd signal relief.
These Piasters being spread much more rapidly, as
well as better, by Mm hincry, arc sold much lower than
Plasters spread in the usual method.

PROSPECTUS.
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SILK SO-
J CIETY, AND RURAL ECONOMIST.—At a
Convention which met at Baltimore, on the llthof De
cember last, composed of a great number of gentlemen
from various parts of the Union, dietinguislied for their
public services, patriotism, and practical intelligence,
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted,
after lull discussion, in thecourse of which a great mass
of fac(s and valuable information was elicited.
Resolved, That it is the deliberate opinion of this
j Convention that Silk may be grown in all the United
States, not only for domestic purposes, but as a valua
ble article of commercial export; thereby giving an ac-
I j! v ® employment to American labor, and retaining mil
lions of dollars in our country, tnnt are annually sent
out of it for the purchase of silken goods.
Resolved, That a National Silk Journal ought to be
established, under the auspices of the Executive Com
mittee, and all the funds over and above the support of
said paper ought to lie devoted to the advancement of
the silk cause in the United States,
j Under the lat er resolution, the subscriber has been
solicited to assume the editorial superintendence of the
Journal, to he published hy the Society ; and now, with
not the least abatement for that fondness (not to say
passion) tor rural life, and all its pursuits, which prompt
ed him, eighteen years since, to issue the firsr number
of the old American Farmer, he js hut too happy to sa
lute, once more, his old friends and correspondents,
promising to deserve new ones by .the most assiduous
endeavors, (not incompatible with strict attention to his
official duties,) to accelerate the growth and progress of
what he is convinced is destined to become a great j
branch of national industry, bringing into active exer-!
etse much of the now unproductive laboring power of
the country, giving comfort to the widow and the or
phan, by offering them suitable and remunerating em
ployment; and making, in the aggregate, a large addi
tion to the wealth and prosperity of our belovea Union.
Though Silk and every thing connected with its pro
duction, and all improvements in machinery for its pre
paration and manufacture, will ci nstitute the chief de
sign and aim of the Journal, for the sake of agreeable
and useful variety, a considerable portion of its pages
will be dedicated to the justly popular and kindred stili
jects of agriculture, horticulture, and rural and domes
tic economy. Hence the adjunctive title “ Rural Eco
nomist.” J. S. SKINNER.
The Journal of the American Silk Society will be
published monthly, in pamphlet form, eaeh number will
contain thirty-two pages, printed on new type and hand
some paper, with a printed colored cover
All persons friendly to the objects of the Journal,
w ill please collect at once, and transmit, the names and
subscription money of those w ho may feel disposed to
patronize it.
Terms —Two dollars a year, or six copies for ten
dollars, always to be paid before the work is sent. All
subscriptions to begin w ith the first number of the year,
and in no case wilt the work be sent to any subscriber
longer than it shall have been paid for.
All communications to be addressed, post paid, to
Gideon B. Smith, Corresponding Secretary of the So
ciety.
All editors of papers who mat desire to see Silk ad
ded to the list of American Staples ; anti who w ill have
the kindness to give this prospectus a few insertions,
will be entitled to a copy of the Journal.

Prospectus of the CORSAIR,
A GAZETTE OF LITERATURE, DRAMAT
/V 1C NEWS and CRITICISM, FASHION and
NOVELTY.—N. P. Willis and T. O. Porter propose
to issue, weekly, in the city of New York, a paper of
the above deaiguation and character. It is their design
to present as amusinga periodical as can he itiade from
the current wit, humor, and literature of the times, to
collect the spirit not only of English, but of French and
German belles letters -. to give dramatic criticisms with
vigilant impartiality and care: in short, to picture the
age in its literature and fashion, its eccentricities and
amusements.
As the practical law of copy right secures to them,
free of expense, the labors of Bulwer and Boz, Scribe
and Balzac, with the whole arm of foreign writers, they
cannot at present, (consistently with pocket wisdom so.
w ell understood by American publishers) offer anv thing
for American prtiductions. Their critical department,
however, will be always on the alert for native litera
ture, and to the best of their ability they will keep a
running gnage of the merits to compatriot authors.
They see their way Very clearly without crowding
upon the track of any weekly periodical, and abstain
ing from more particular professions, they take leave to
assure their friends, rhat if the harvest of event, wit.
genius and poetry, fail not over the world, thev can
hardly fail to furnish them with an agreeable paper.
Terms.—Five dollars per annum, in advance. Ad
dress the Editors, by mail.
The CORSAIR will appenr early in the month of
March next.

rals. Reviews and literary criticisms, so important in
this publishing age, occupy a prominent place in the
work. It, also, contains short reviews of the entire
works ol distinguished American authors, accompanied
by portraits engraved on steel.
The solidity of the work is relieved by lighter arti
cles—such as graceful essays, interesting and amusing
tales, criticisms upon the fine arts, legends, sketches of
travel, literary and scientific intelligence, and poetry of
a stqierior order.
'l’iie very favorable reception which the work has
met from the press and the public, has justified the pro
prietors in making liberal arrangements for contribu
tions to the second volume ; and-they have according
ly made large additions to their corps of regular con
tributors. In the January number will be found ori
ginal papers from the following popular writers :
Rev. Dr. Beaslev, Rev. J. G. Morris, Rev. J. H.
Clinch, David Hoffman, E«q., W. G. Simms, Charles
West ’lffiompson, T. R. Holland, H. T. Tuckerman,
E. A. Poe, Professor Fisher of the University of Ma
ryland, Professor Foreman, W. B. Tappari, Mrs. Si
gourney, Miss H. F. Gould, Mrs. Emma C. Embury.
Besides these, many other writers of known ability
have contributed to the work, and will continue to aid
us.
In the March number is the commencement of a se
ries of “ Italian Sketches,” by a gentleman of taste atjd
scholarship, who has been sojourning in that classic
country. Besides these, the future numbers of the Mu
seum will contain articles from distinguished Europe
an writers—although we are far more anxious to re
ceive assistance from, and encourage, native talent.
Plates —Portraits, on steel, bv a distinguished artist,
similar to that of Washington Irving, in the Septem
ber number, and of J. F. Cooper, in the January num
ber, will continue to embellish the work.
JO* Terms— The American Museum is printed on
good paper, with new type, and makes two volutins a
year, or more than 500 pages each. Price $5 per an
j num, payable in advance. Four copies will be sent one
! year for sls. We shall be happy to receive applies

CPLIVATION OF THE MORUS MUETICAULIS.
BY GIDEON B. SMITH.
So 7 and Situation. —Sandy soils and high
situations arc always 'o be selected, if possi
ble. The soil >an scarcely be too sandy. In
deed the finest trees the%writer ever saw 7 , grew
in a soil'too sandy for any other crop. The
next best is a light mould, and next to this, or
dinary soil. The best situations are hill sides,
and the northern sides particularly ; the next,
thetop l ot hills, and third, any high table
land from which water naturally drams o(T
during winter. If th :se soils are capable
of producing moderate crops of corn, thev are
rich enough for the mulberry tree, and ought
not to !>e manured. If the ground be too rich,
and especially in level situations, the tree is
kept growing too late in the full, and-does not
mature its wood before the cold season arrives,
and hence is incapable of withstanding severe
frosts. It is to this grand error, of planting in
rich grounds, that the idea that mot us multi
cadlis will not stand the winter, is to be attri
buted, at least in part, (close p'nnting being
another cause.) Soils on which a good crop
of corn, or potatoes' or other roots, grew last
year, are abundantly rich for the mulberry.—r
If the laud has been limed, all the better; and
if not, a good dressing of *0 to 50 bushels to
the acre will bo useful. Where the land is ve
ry poor, or when it is determined to apply ma
nure, oltl well rotted stable manure may be ap
plied. Well rotted cow yard manure is bettc*
than horse manure ; but black vegetable mould
from the woods is best of all, and may be ap
plied witbgreat lienefit. When manure is used?
it should l>e spread broad cast and phrtighed hi
—very little benefit will be derived from ‘ ma
nuring in the hill.’
Preparation of the soil. —The ground ought
to have l>eon well ploughed in the fall; hut it
will do in the spring. Where the ground is
! not naturally very light and porous, it should
be ploughed as deep ar, possible, that the roots
■ may readily penetrate deeply, and thus escape
the efiects of summer droughts, liesidcs recei
ving all the benefits of summer ralhs. This is
a great advantage, and ought not to be omit
ted. After the fust deep ploughing, if the soil
;be light, levelling and pulverizing it .by har
; rowing, is ull that is necessary. Heavy soils
must l>e cross ploughed until they are well pre
pared. After the ground'has been ploughed
and harrowed, it may l>e hid oil" in rows by a
small seed plough, for planting.
The best time for planting the cuttings, is as
soon as the ground can be got readv in the
spring. They will riot grow enough to b<J-in
jured by any frost that may occur; nor will
any degree of frost injure the cuttings in the
ground;
Cuttings, Layers, <Jc. —There are four kinds
of cuttings, viz’: long cuttings, (the whole
branch,) short cuttings, (the branches or oth
er wood, cut in pieces six to twelve inches
long.) double cuttings, (witii two buds,) and
singl. cuttings, (with one bud.) Long cut
tings are laid lengthwise in the furrow, the butt
end of the second bo.ng about one foot from j
the top end of the first, and covered tihout two '
inches deep, witii a hoc. The objections to
this mode are, that if all the buds grow, the
trees w ill starid and cn mot make
good trees ; if they do not all grow, there is a
loss of all the buds that fail. Short cuttings
are planted in the same way, and are subject!
to the same objections, but in a less degree.—
Both are considered by the writer a* affording
no advantage over single cuttings, and as high
ly objectionable, on account of the expense, the
first requiring five to ten times as many buds to
plant an acre, and the second three to six tiines
as many as are required with sing'e cuttings.
Besides all this, if any part of a long cutting
becomes diseased, and rots, the whole length of
it is apt to be affected and lost; whereas, had t
it been cut into single or doable cuttings, n a- i
ny of the buds might probably have been sa
ved. Agattv, if one hud gets a start before the
otliers, it is very apt to attract all the sap of
the cutting, and thus prevent the others from
growing; and if it do not do this, it will gen
erally cause the others to be of a small size.
The trees, also, raised from long cuttings, are
necessarily clustered in small groups, and mea
surably deprived es a free circulation of air,
and the advantages of the sun’s rays—-all which
i prevent the maturity of the wood, and a full
development of the branches.
The w riter does not consider the chance of
a bud’s growing, euluinced in the least l>v its
l»eiiig on a long branch. He believes, (and
| his.belief is founded upon his experience, as
well as upon reason,) that the whole embryo
jof the future troe is contained in the bud and
its latent roots, and that if properly rna'naged,
no other part of the parent wood is necessary
than just enough to furnish the fatal circula
tion until the bud Oj ens its leaves and forms
: roots, and this is only about one inch of the
cutting. The writer has noticed repeatedly,
tliat when along branch has been planted, good
sized trees have grown with scarcely any roots
oftlieirown; being left, like the rich tnan’s
son, independent of self-exertion, they were not
under the nece&sity of making any—deriving
their radical supplies from roots formed on
Other parts of the branch. Double cuttings
are liable to the same objections, but in a still
smaller, indeed in u very small degree, the on.

,'ie cuttings. It is believed by the w riter, that
i.ten thousand buds be planted, five thousand
n double cuttings arid five thousand in single
tunings, tliero will be fifty per cent, snore trees
obtained, and those of a more uniform size,
and of I letter form, from the single cuttings
titan from.tlie double cuttings—mote especial
ly if the ground be sandy. Let me here ob-'
serve, that sand is an it,valuable ingredient it!
the soil for striking all- kinds of cuttings,; and
if a small quantity were put in the furrows be
fore putting in ttie cuttings, (especially wltete
the soil is not very Sandy,) the cuttings would
strike rotrt much mote readily. Single cut
tings tire planted by sticking-them dotfn ob
liquely, the top leaning to the north and the
burl on t!»e south side of the cutting, and co
vering them witii a hoe about two inches deep
—that is, about two inches of -earth being
covered over the bud, and pressed firmly
with the hoc or the foot. -Sometimes tltey are
planted by merely laying them fiat in the fur
tow, the bud up|>vrmOst,.cover with-two inch
es of earth, and pressed firmly j and l am not
prepared to say tliat the first method has any
advantage over this ; —indeed l can see none.
They are also planted by merely dropping
them in the furrow, like dropping corn, with
out reference to tlie situation of tlie bud, and
they seem to do very well. When the bud
happens to be on the under side of the cufting,
however. the tree has to make its way around
the side of the cutting, loses time, and does not
make as handsome a tree. Layers, properly
so called, are branches of the tree bent down
and confined to the ground with a forked stick,
and covered over with earth. With inorus
multfeaulis this mode is entirely useless. But
layers are also formed by laying dowu the
whole tree, root and all, in die furro-.v, and tin’s
is considered by some the most certain method
of obtamg trees. 1 think layering, in all its
forms, even more objectionable than long cut
tings. Ttie trees never make good roots, they
grow in clusters, and of course do not make
fine trees as cuttings ; aud, besides, it is im
possible that more than one fourth, if that tna
nyfof the buds can ever grow. This will ap
pe ir evident from the fact, that in those pia.-
ce.s wltere layers and long cuttings are plant,
ted, they consider that ten fold is a large al
lowance for the multiplication of the tree. —
Now it would be a very small tree that had not
forty buds, and if so, those who make this al*
low'ance, must calculate tliat only one bud in
four will grow. The writer of this never yet
failed to make three out of four buds grow by
planting single cuttings.
NO. 23.
There is one other kind of cutting that must
notJ>e overlooked—it may be called a Variety
of the single cutting. It is the joint of the
main stem of trees from which the branches
have been cut off. If the branch was of any
considerable sizri, say the size of a small quill,
there will be two latent buds, one on each side
|of the base of the branch, and when the tree is
growing, as soon as the branch is cut off, these
buds will generally each send forth a branch.
So, when the tree is eitt up into cuttings, if
; these joints be planted, tltey will generally send
j forth two shoots, and sometimes e\en four.—
I theiefore, usually split these joints through
: the mich le of the brise of the branch, in such a
manner .as to leave half the stump of the branch
on each’divisioa of .the joint. I always prefer
! these joints to cuttings taken from branches,
.as they are equally certain to grow, and gen-,
erally produce twe trees each.
The preparation of cuttings is very simple.
Long cuttings require none; short cuttings on.
ly require that the branches or main stem of
the stem be cut with a sharp knite into pieces
six to twelve inches long. Double cuttings
contain only two buds. The branch is to be
cut with a sharp knife, half an inch below a.
bud, holding the top end of the branch in the
hand, anil cutting below the butl each time, '
thus leaving the smooth cut on the end below
fjte bud. Single cuttings are divided in the
same way, except that but one bud is left on
each cutting. The cuttings should be planted
ns soon as possible after being cut. It is a good
plan to have a tub of water, and let the cuttings
full iiito it as they are cut, and remain in it till
taken out to put in the ground. They may
lay in the water nil night to advantage, but not
longer. They may thus be cut over night,
and time saved hy it. Being wet yvlie t put in
the ground, the earth adheres to them and pre
vents their dying, and most probably facili
tates their making roots. Some have sugges
ted rolling them in plaister of paris when thus
wet. I have never tried iir, but think it very
likely to-he useful. . •
The Distance they should be planted de
pends upon the object in view, and the quanti
ty of bind at disposal. If a permanent planta
tion for making silk be the object, the rows
should be six feet apart at least, nnd the plants
three leet apart in the row. In this wav, 2,420
trees may be planted upon an acre. If the
trees are intended to be transplanted, and the
ground no object, three feet apart eaeh way
will do, and will make fine trees. This will
allow 7 4,840 to the acre. The usual distance
is one foot apart in the ro.v, and the rows three
feet apart, or 14,520 to the acre. It must be
ohserved, that when the trees are planted too
close together, they neither make as fine trees,
nor mature their wood as well as well as when
allowed a proper distance. Sun and a free
circulation of air, are essential to the perfec
tion of any vegetable. The foliage of the mul'.
ticaulis is so large and so abundant, that, when
the trees stand close together, it is impassible
for the sun’s rays to penetrate to t.. e wopd, or
the air to pass freely among them, and hence
the wood is prevented from maturing. I have
: seen large fields of them standing so closely
i that not the smallest space of tlie ground could
i l>e discerned without putting the brandies'a
side ; and when l have been told that these
trees were killed by the ensuing winter, I was
by no means surprise;]—the wonder is, they
were not killed by tlie sultry heats of summer
.also. To insure the hardiness of the multi-,
caulis, they, must he planted at least three feet
! apart each way. on high situations, northern
exposutes, and in light or sandy soils, tint too
rich. *
