Editcs:- There is, perhaps, no subject of more importance to the farmers of Nebras ka, than that of fencing, so as to sate "timber, and labor. Therefore, a knowl edge of, and instruction in regard to a. substitute for timber, must be of vast importance to the community.. Almost every method has been tried and found wanting, save one, that is, the Maclura or Osage Orange, Patents have been issued, for all manner of plank, and wire fence, and farmers hare been gulled, and cheated thereby, but still, the cry is, "Patent-fence;" Eastern news papers are filled, more or less, with Gaming advertisements, of patent fences; but beware of imposition. Try none of them, but use a substitute of natures own-production, viz., tho Ma dura. - . - . The Madura was discovered, in Texas, by Dr. -Mac-lure, and has been known by various names, as "Bois If Arc" "Osage Orange" kc, but none are so suitable, or handy, as Maclura. Many have expressed a doubt of the hedge making a good fence, on account ofthe numbcr .of failures that have been made, in trials of hedging, by men that did not understand their business, or were to indolent to perform the work . .in the right manner. If rightly managed, a hedge fence can be made in four years, that will turn any thing, from a small pig to the most breachy ox, that roams over the prairie, or farmers fields of grain. But . it needs time, labor and care, also, a "knowledge of the business; either by practice or reading. As a good well- :'made thick hedge, is the most beauti ful .appendage of a farm, so an un trimcd, neglected hedge, is the most unsightly nuisance that can be seen orJsuffered to surround our premises. The. trials . and experiments, made by Professor Turner, and MrOverman, of Illinois, and others, have placed it beyond, a doubt, that hedging is a safe, 6ure and economical mode of fencing; '.even in a more timbered country, hence, it is evident, that in our scarce timbered country, it must be one of tho .most important investments we can make. The cost of hedgcing, is some fifty cent3 to one dollar per rod, where practical hedgers are employed, but ; formers can make it for much less, and 23 to clipping it after it is matured it is a small task, an expert hand can . clip one mile a day, on both sides, and once a year is all that it needs clip ping after it is grown. It will take less time to keep it in repair, after once made, than any other fence, and it is not only a fence for a few years, " but for generations to come. . And besides the economy andbeauty of hedein, it increases tire value of land and farms, more than any one thing that farmers can engage in. What would look prettier than our fertile prairies, all surrounded, crossed and rccros5sd, Sntn'living fences, and the lamer know his crops secure, from the destroying propensities, and craving : appetites of unruly cattle. : And ' for orchards or gardens, it i3 almost essential for their protection c'ainst both man and beast, it also forms a barrier against the cold, bleak winds, so destructive in this climate. . But my communication is, perhaps, already to lengthy, so I will close; and may hereafter give directions for v C7 ' O wvv, uvuuj and tending the hedge, &c. , IIoosieh. Nemaha Co., N.

VP i 1 J'i? . . i xi mcse conmuons are continued a sucient time, the plant matures, pro duces seed, and then decays. "Why 1 IT . jl O T-TT. X ana now is tnis aone: nnyr Uecause it was so ordered by the inscrutible wisdom of God, is our only answer. How: c watch the procees and , results, we scrutinize them with micro scope and call chemical analysis to our , aid, and then can givo but" a partial answer to the question. - - These researches and this scrutiny, which have long been carried on, form the Ecicnco of Vegetable Physiologya . science yet m its infancy, but of none the less importance to thoso who would understandingly cultivate the soil wticsc mam object and business is to " fcring its productive'" capabilities into Une fact is self-evident, the nutri tion and growth of plants is subjectto laws ana conditions they do not creato them: elves out of nothing nor are they thus created before us by any higher Power. Tke life of a' plant results from, and consists in, its power to receive and appropriate that which xcurishes its grewtn and development How it decs this, and u hat it th receives tie qu;:rc3 cf prominent im portance, but we know very little com pared with what remains unknown, to wards their solution. We can seo that soil, moisture, air, warmth, and light, are necessary to their growth, but this gives only shallow insight of How they grow, and What are the requirements of that growth.' Further light may be had from an examination of the plants themselves, their . constituent elements and that of their means of sustenance, and these Chemistry best explain and develope. Of what then, do plants exist? What arc their proximate and ultimate ele ments? The proximate constituents of plants vary widely Jn their charac ter and are readily distingushable by taste, form, color; etc., from each other. This is lucidly illustraed by Stock hardt, as follows: "Grapes, carrots, and many fruits and roots have a sweet taste, they contain sugar. The branches and leaves of the grape vine have a sour taste; they contain an acid 'salt. Those of the worm-wood have a bitter taste; they . contain a peculiar bitter principle. The latter also possess a powerful odor, which proceeds. from a volatile, oil. In the seed of our various kinds of grain and in the tubers of the potato plant, we find a substance re sembling meal, starch; in the seed of the rape and flax plants, a lubricous fluid, fat oil... -From the cherry and plum trees there exudes a viscous mat ter, soluble in water; from fir and pine trees a similar product, . but insoluble in water; we call the former gum the latter resin. That which gives mechan ical support to ' plants, forming as it were their bones and blood-vessels re ceives the name of vegetable fibre, or when it has become tough, insoluble, or indigestible, the name of woody fibre. In the sap of plants we meet with a substance, which coagulates by boil ing, like the white of an egg or the albumen of the blood; in peas or other leguminous fruits, a substance which is extremely like cheese; in the seed of rye, wheat, oats, and other kinds of grain, a substance whose composi tion is identical with that of the flesh of animals; the first is called vegetable albumen, the second vegctalh casein, and the third gluten. Finally on the combustion of the plant, j we find a residue consisting of an earthly or saline powder, which neither burns up nor volatilizes by heat; this contains its mineral constituents." . M- All these proximate substance are further reducible into "ultimate con stituents. But little use can be made of the information thus far attained as regards supplying nourishment' to plants. By closer examination and' a severer scrutiny, we learn that all this boundless , variety ot substance is com posed in fact of four simple elements; Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon, and Nit rogen. In endlessly varied combina tions of quantity and form, all vegeta ble and animal life is made up of these organic constituents." How wonderful he Power which gives such an infinite and beautiful diversity from means ap- parentiy so inadequate to sucn a result. These elementary substances may not only be characterized a3 organic,, or "the principal elements of all organ ized substances," but a3 combustible and putrescible, since both heat and corruption, or putrefaction the one rapidly and the other slowly has the power of dispersing them in gaseous comDinauons. . These elements have often been'de- fined and commented upon. , We shall in another number briefly indicate their character, and then go on to a classi fication of the ' proximate elements of plants, and tho. further consideration af the elements. of vegetable growth, taking Stockhardt's Agricultural Chemistry as our chief authority. The Agricultural Reports of the Patent Office We learn that the report of the operations of the agri cultural divisions of the Patent Office will probably be ready for distribution in 2Movcmber,and that the earnest and pressing demand for copies from all parts of the country will then be promptly met. It is a little later than the mechanical part of the report in its publication; but the circumstances and contingencies connected with its preparation and passage through the press on this occasion appear to have been such as to render it impossible to avoid this brief delay.
