the most interest in these matters are not such
as can well afford to spend their money as well as
time in such business.
In Ohio, as most of our readers are aware, a law
was passed in March 1839, providing that the
Commisssioners of each county, may, if they
deem it expedient' appropriate out of the county
funds a sum not exceeding $100 annually in aid
of the county agricultural society, if one is duly
organized. It is needless to say this law has
proved a failure. It was directly calculated to
beget local strife, and call out the opposition of the
ignorant and prejudiced against the societies, and
their managers, so as to prevent their general
usefulness. Party prejudice and personal enmity
would often lead men to raise a clamor against
the commissioners for voting this appropriation,
and as a pretext for their complaints of course
the character of the society must be assailed.-
This among other difficulties has caused the failure
of nearly all the societies that have been formed
in Ohio, and will continue to do so, as long as the
present law remains. The few societies that have
existed, we believe, have never complied with
the law in the matter of making an annual re-
port. The 7th section provides, that at a stated
meeting, the society shall make out a report of
the state of the society, the effect that in their
opinion it has had, and probably will have, on the
agricultural interests of the country. The report
shall also contain a statement of the probable
quantities of staple comodities of the county, and
prices current thereof, &c. The report so made
out shall be transmitted to the chairman of the
committee on agriculture, in either branch of the
next General Assembly.'

CATECHISM OF AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY AND GEOLOGY, by J. F. W. JOHNSTON, F. R. S., &c. &c., with an introduction by J. P. NORTON.-This little work was prepared expressly for the use of Schools, and for young beginners in the study of the science of Agriculture. It has passed rapidly through eight editions in England, and we learn it is beginning to have an extensive sale in several of the eastern states, being introduced into many schools and academies, and district school libraries. It ought to be used in every school in farming districts throughout the land, and every farmer's son ought to have a copy and study it. It is no larger than a small spelling book, and is sold at 25 cents, by Whiting & Huntington of this city.

AN ESSAY ON GUANO, describing its properties and the best methods of its application in agriculture, horticulture, &c., by J. E. TESCHEMACHER, Boston, Mass.-This is decidedly the best work on this subject that has appeared in this country, and must prove highly valuable to many persons in those parts of the Atlantic States, where this powerful and costly manure can be advantageously used. The author has done much to advance the study and practice of improved agriculture within a few years past,-honor to all such men !

AMERICAN QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND SCIENCE, by Drs. Prime and Emmons, Albany, N. Y. The fourth number of this work has been received, completing its first year; and we rejoice to learn that although its support has not been what it should be, the proprietors are determined to continue it, at least for another

year. The articles on injurious insects with the accompanying illustrations it contains, are alone worth the whole cost of subscription, ($3 per year.) Then it contains numerous instructive essays on almost all other matters relating to scientific agriculture. Will not some of our Ohio friends call and examine the work, and let us order it for them?

RAPID GROWTH OF PLUM TREES.-We saw a plum graft a few days ago in the the garden of Mr Nettleship of this place, set in April last, which now measures ten feet and half an inch! The stock was cut near the ground, and a scion of the ordinary size for the purpose, set in it in the usual mode of grafting. We have never seen anything of the kind equal to this.-Piqua Register.

Well, if you never have, Mr Register, we have, and can beat your ten foot sprout at least eighteen inches. In the spring of 1842 we grafted in our garden a plum scion of the blue gage variety upon a wild plum stock at the root, and it grew the first season a little rising of eleven feet and six inches, the next season it blossomed, and it now measures at the ground one foot in circumference, and eight and a half inches at the height of six feet.-Lima [Allen co.] Reporter.

A SUBSCRIBER OF NORTHERN OHIO. Remarks.-There, now: who that reads the foregoing will say that a spirit of INQUIRY is not beginning to be awakened among the farmers of Ohio! This is the first step in the march of improvement, and we rejoice to find so many as we do giving evidence in this way of a desire for more knowledge. Such men will not rest contented till the knowledge is obtained, and when obtained it will soon be reduced to practice, thereby benefiting not only themselves, but, by their examples stimulating their less enterprising neighbors to make improvements.

We have neither time nor space at present sufficient for giving definite answers to the foregoing inquiries. The writer will find a number of valuable communications relating to orchards and fruit trees in the early numbers of the Ohio Cultivator; and in regard to the best kinds of fruit we can offer nothing better than the list by Dr. Kirtland in No. 15. [Aug. 1.] For particular information respecting sheep and sheep farming, feeding roots, &c., our friend should by all means procure the excellent work which we have before recommended, called the 'American Shepherd' by L. A. Morrell. Its cost is only 75 cts. in paper cover, or $1 bound. Then for the same trifling sum we will furnish him two complete volumes of the Genesee Farnier which contain a vast fund of information on all these topics, and many others of importance to a farmer, especially one who has 'commenced improving a new farm.'

We will also endeavor, from time to time, as opportunity presents, to furnish information on all these subjects in the columns of the Ohio Cultivator. We should be pleased if some experienced correspondent would give us his views in answer to the question as to the number of sheep for a farm in northern Ohio, of the size named; or on any other subject embraced in the inquiries.-ED.
