i r t - i 4 1 1 . fanners'- Department " . from the Ohio Cultivator. . CZLTCT.Z OF TEEAPEICOT. " The Apricot is one' of the most de- a. EiraLle of all fruits, and with a little skill and attention to guard against the - ravages of the curculio and exposure to cold winds, the crop may he as certain as that of the peach, and much more profitable. Wc have known several trees in Columbus, standing in shelter ed situations, that have borne good crops as often as three, years out of iivc, and afforded more profit to their "owners than any other trees cn their . premises. They arc of the varieties ezllcd Early Golden, Large Early, and 'JUach Apricot. The last named especi- ally is a very hardy and productive .variety, the fruit resembling a plum in appearance, ane selling for a large price at the confectionaries. The fol lowing is abridged from a communica- tion.in a late, number of the Horticul turist. . M. B. B. .. . -xt is remarKaoic mar a iruit oi so much excellence as the Apricot, ripen ing before the best early peaches, should be so little known, commanding us '.it docs the highest price in the market, inasmuch as 1 have been quite successful in the cultivation of this fruit, I propose to say a few words! on this subject for the benefit of those i persons who have failed in its culture, and those, also who arc afraid to try, on" account of . its great enemy the curculio. I will state that I am located ' on the cast bank of the Hudson River, .twelve miles below the city of Hudson. The soil on the ridges is a strong loam, . with a clay subsoil, containing a large percentage of lime. This is the favo--ritc soil of the Apricot; the trees grow moderately fast, and make a good, firm growth' of wood, that generally stands , our fold winters well; The most trying time for the. Apricot, with us, is when in full bloom; at that period we fre quently have cold, windy weather, and , Sometimes frost. On referring to my journal, I. find the following entries: 'April 16 j 1854, commenced snowing very fast; wind, northwest; snow fell a foot deep; fruit buds of the Apricot . just" ready to burst. r May 7. Apricots in fall bloom; cold north wind; made ice,- that night, three-eighths of an inch in. exposed places. Notwithstand ing the -cold and frosty weather of the 7th.of May, all Apricot trees in shel tered place's had a pretty good crop of iruu. .Liust season icoo) they pro duced an abundant crop, especially where, they stood somewhat sheltered, ' setting -twice as much fruit as they 1 1 1 . . - . 'couia with satcty mature. W hen the fruit was half grown, I picked about two bushels off, scarcely any of them Showing the mark of the curculio; as rthe fruit advanced towards matrity, it wasquite evident there was not half enough oH yet. However, there was ho. pore taken of the trees till the fruit 'got -ripe, but if I had taken twice the .amount off, in a green state, that I be " fore mentioned, the crop would have sold for more. The crop during the past "season has not only been gratify- ing to my pride as a fruit grower, but rhas proved eminently profitable, con sidering the labor bestowed. . From 25 , trees, part nine years planted, and the . balance planted within the last four -years, there were taken 12 busheh of rthis delightful midsummer fruit, which 6old, in the New Yorket, at prices ranging from 5 to 10 per bushel, the .most -of them for the latter price. In conclusion, I. will say, brother ' iruit growers, if you. have tried to grow tliis-tnily golden fruit, and have been -disappointed, "try again" is the motto. ," iSomc writers say : " Don't plant in warm. situations, a3 on the warm side -of a building, or other sheltered site facing the sun." This advice may be proper in some places, but it certainly .is not here. By all means, plant in - -sheltered places if possible, for it is well known that a . cold north wind is very destructive to this fruit, when it is In' full bloom. A tight board fence, 7 or 8 feet high, affords very good "shelter for the Apricot and Grape, etc. Apricot trees can be planted on the sun side within three feet of the fence; .1.11 1. - 'i I I I . - iney nouiu De cur oacK, ior two or three years, so as to form compact and low headed trees.

In the July number of the Planter, page 204, 1 have read your remarks on sweenev." and vour quotations from Percival showing that the disease .'.'is in the foot" and not in the shoulder. I cannot undertake to say that . I know the disease is not in the foot, but I mi ? m rrrtnin.v hcUevc. that in a case of sweeney the foot is not at all affected. We know that in a case of settled sweeney the foot i3 a good deal affected, whether as a cause or result, we do not now propose to discuss. Ed. 0. Cul.' In the last ten years I have had three or four cases of sweeney, and in every instance I could trace the disease to a stain or bruise on the shoulderby having the collar too largo and thereby pressing too far back on the shoulder, and following land very hard and dry it i3 ant to cive a vounrr horsothe Sweeney or by ploughing new ground that i3 full of roots and stumpy. The disease is easily cured in the following manner: Take up the .skin of the horse (between the thumb and forefinger) at the top of the part of the shoulder that is sunk, which will be from one to two inches from the top of the withers, and make an incision through the skin with a sharp pen knife, there insert a coose quill and blow up the skin, and with your hand M I j A press the wind along the part that is sunk to its-lowest extremity thus filling the part that is fcunk with air until it is ct least - even with - the , sur rounding parts, and stick a piece of pitch over the incision, and a cure will be effected. 1 have never had to repeat the above operation but once, except in a case that I had this summer. had to make a second incision andblow it up as at first, and poured in through the quill as much spirits of turpontine as the quill would hold, and the horse was well in three weeks, although at work all the time. It is better to rest the horse if you can, but not absolutely necessary. Respectfully, A Subscriber. Southern Planter. . Tt AGRICTJLTTTEE Iff CALIFOEff A. ' From the report of the Surveyor General of California, it appears that the agricultural interest of that State bids fair to take the lead of even ', the mining interest. According to this report there are enclosed, and under scientific cultiva tion, three hundred thousand acres of farming land in California. This does not include pasture range, or grazing grounds, but means farms, tilled as they are at the East, with improved implements and agricultural economy. The growth of cereals is stated at eight millions of bushels, but the proportions of each are not given. All grains, however, thrive well; but barley m particular, grows with unparalleled uxunance. Of potatoes, the crop was but five hundred thousand bushels, but the ground devoted to them was limited. 1 hundred thousand fruit trees were planted, and the number of grape vines increased to over a million and a quarter. The Spanish Jesuits had already eight hundred thousand vines. and at present these are the only ones wnicn prouuee iruit. . xney are ot the Alalago variety, and their remarks.ble fecundity has led to steps forrjthe turthcr cultivation of the grape. "The Purveyor is of opinion that, as a wine producing country, California will soon tar exceed Uhio m importance." The Malaga grape, however, is not con sidered the best. It is easily cultivated, and therefore commended itself to the slothfulness of the Spaniards; but the Catawba and Isabella varieties will command the attention of the vine growers ot the new btate as .better adapted to the making .of wine, -and ot more value m themselves.

Briggs a sample of barley which he says has been dis covered m the gulches of the Hima layan Mountains, entirely free from those annoying and poisonous beards attached to all our common varieties. The undersigned obtained 7 grains of this new variety three years ago and being much pleased with its gene ral appearance and productiveness, has spared no pams to multiply this small quantity as fast as the Shanghais and other birds would allow. ' Its merits for grinding or malting have been tested, and the quantity is now too small to squander in that way, when every tiller of the soil who . sees it is anxious to have a few grains, not doubting it will prove a valuable acqui sition. I have sufficient, however, to furnish all persons interested who will be likely to see this notice, with one head each, containing 30 to 60 grains. Send me your address, on a stamped envelope, and I will enclose a head, and send it back by return mail, with printed instructions for cultivating in a way to insure a large return from a small quantity of seed. Should this new variety be found to answer all the purposes of the common barley, a few years will suffice to drive the "barley ocaras irom the country; Should any person desire more than the one head, I will send a package of uu 10 ovv grams, securely enveloped, by mail, post paid, for 25 cts., accom panied with a few heads to prove tk fact of its being beardless.
