The resemblance of this tuber to the well known nut grass caused its extirpation, in many instances, as soon as it had appeared above ground. The representations Ot those who acted upon impulse in defiance of the assurances of this office, were sufficient to deter many others from making a fair experiment with this ve Time, however, is dissipating the error and prejudices which have stood in the way, and the Chufa is becoming generally acknow!l- edged as an important aquisition to the conn- BF “We know it,”’ says the Alabama Cotton Planter, ‘ to be the most va uable crop for fat- tening hogs thatcan be wn. We last year a7 a lot of half-starved hogs upon an acre of t, and we have never seen animals improve so fast. The chickens also forsook the home lot for the Chufa-patch, and fattened taster than we had ever known them to do on corn, and the flavor of their flesh wasdelicious. We took the hogs off in early spring, and now (in early summer) find 2 splendid stand of Chufas on the same ground.” And the Planter, which has always been free to acknowledge the success of the efforts arising from the ap ropriations b: Government, concludes by saying : “ We | upon it as the greatest acquisition introduced by the Patent Office.”’ The prejudice already alluded to, and which through want of informa- tion bas been industriously propagated even by influential writers should explain the tardinecs of this crop in winning its way to public favor; but it is now established, and will donbtless henceforward be reckoned an important ele- meat in our agricultural wealth. Tens not be well to attempt an estimate of its Present worth; but could this be accurately made, it might not be extravagant to place it as another more than sufficient offset to the entire annual outlay by Government for agricultural pur- Interesting Letter from D. Jay Browne. U.S. Parent Orrice, Aug. 26, 1858. Sin: In compliance with your request of the 15th ult., reiative to an estimate of the ads resulting from the appropriation by Congress for agricultural ay here- with I transmit a communication from Mr. D. Jy Browne, which I trust contains the in- formation desired. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. Horr, Commissioner. How. D. P. Hotvowar, Richmond, Ind. U.S. Parent Orricr, Aug. 26, 1858 Sr: In reply to the inquiries of Hon. D. P. Holloway, late Chairman of the Committee on tioulture of the House of Representatives of the United States, contained in his communi- cation of the 15th ultimo, which you have re- ferred to me, relative to an estimate of the advantages resulting from the appropriation by Congress for agricultural pur » I beg leave to state that only an imperfect estimate can be made. The labors of this office have been directed <incipally to the following objects: First, the mination of correct information upon the ject of agriculture, in general; secondly, the intredaction of novel and improved plants, trees, &c., from abroad; and thirdly, the in- terchange and extension of such as have hith erto beon only of local culture in our own country. A knowledge of the benefits which have been derived from these labors must therefore be sought in all the good that bas Proceeded and is yet to proceed from the suc- cessful pr parser of these purposes. Within @ period of twenty years, including the present, the aggregate appropriations by Congress for the encouragement of agriculture, except the Printing of Reports. has been less than the third ot a million of dollars; and it bas been only since the year 1853 that the annual ap Propriations have exceeded $5,500. Ta a debate in Congress, on the 19th of May, 1858, it was stated by Hon. Albert G. Talbert, of Kentucky, that said State had been profited within the laat three years to the amount of $1,000,000 by the distribution of the Single ar- ticle of wheat from the Patent Office; and re- marks of an aes favorable tenor with re- gard to the Mediterranean red wheat were made by Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana. The information at’ that period in the posses- sion of the Patent Office, but more especially that whieh has been received the present year from the officers of agricultural societies and ‘other well informed and reliable sources, au- ‘thorizes the assumption of a far higher rate of increase from the cause ed, and renders tt apparent that many of the objects introduced re progressing in a compound ratio. approved wheats have also been intro- duced, aud domestic varieties have been adapt- ed to appropriate localities, but it is not nece:- sary to take any account of these to show that, at the lowest calculation, a single product has amply compensated in one year for the whole expenditure by the Government for twenty years. Here the argument might be Permitted to rest; but other benefits are demonstrated as having arisen from the distribution of seed. At least a dozen varieties of Indian Corn, each desirable in certain localities becauss of some peculiar quality, were selected for ex- periment. Several of them have been attended with beneficial results, particularly the “ Ki Pbilip,”’ previously but little known beyo: the “ of Lake Winnipisioge, in New a ae ire, where it had been perfected and ong cultivated upon one of its islands This variety is acknowledged to be of great value throughout the New England States, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wiscon. sin, Minnesota, Iowa, Washington and Oregon Territories, and in —— of the States of Ohio and Lilinois. There is evidence of its suceess from numerous sources in the corres- pondence of this office, as well as in ricultu- ral and other journals, demonstrating that poses. The “Malaga Sweet Potato,” introduced from the south of Spain the past winter, is pros- pering in the Southern and Middle States. It is not only a most productive and delicious es- culent, but retains its soundness and sweetness throughout the winter and spring, more effect- ually than any other variety. Many new improved varieties of culi- nary vegetables and ornamental flowers have been disseminated throughout the country, es- pecially in the Western and newly-settled dis- tricts, where most of them had previously been but little known; and it isa gratifying circum- stance that the success and appreciation of them have served to excite a new and general interest in theirculture, and to create a de- mand which has induced the establishment of hundreds of stores for the sale of seeds imported direct from the same sources in Europe whence those dispensed ty this Office were obtained. The value of tho “ Market-garden Products” of the United States in 1850, was reported in the Census of that year at $5,280,030 A percept- ible and marked improvement has been effect- ed in many of these products by the introduc- tion of approved varieties of peas, beans, rad- ishes, beets, carrots, parsnips, onions, leeks, celery, cabbages, caulifiowers, brocoli, kale, lettuce, asparagus, melons, cucumbers. egg- plants, tomatoes, &c., and itis believed that this improvement is fully equal to 25 per cent. of the aggregate value already quoted, or $1,320,007 per annum. ‘The remarks here made in relation to vege- tables and flowers are equally true with respect to fruits. A new impetus has been given to the culture of these through the same instru- mentalities, aided by the pictorial illustrations accompanying the instructions and recommend- ations contained in the Reports of the Patent Office on Agriculture. Cuttings and grafts of American and foreign origin have been care- fully distributed, and great benefits have been realized in many localities in the apple, pear, prune and other fruit crops. The importations of the product of the vine in 1857, were as follows - wherever cultivated the improvement in the eet: quality and quantity of the grain produced Bows: with same labor and investment as ra is Zante Currants. 151.418 not less than 1¢ cent.

That a great national saving can be made in this particular is manifest, but still greater advantages can be secured by substituting the juice of the grape for the manufactured, and often adulte- rated. liquors, imported as wines, and for the health destroying and maddening domestic dis- tillations from grain and molasses in general use. There is room for the accomplishment of much good in this respect, and this office haa essayed the task of inducing its performan motalone by the ination of correct formation, but also, first, by collecting and dis- agricultural purposes fur twenty years. It is possible that even this statement may excite the skepticism of —_— unacquainted with the facts upon which it is based, or who do not calculate with acouracy from given data; but their incredulity will cease when it shall be understood that this corn ripens in ninety days from the time of planting; that it is hence ex- empted from late spring and early autumn frosts ; that it is of excellent quality for trans- Ppertation and use; and that the increased yield with proper management, (close planting and high manuring when necessary.) is ak be- : 3 tributing vine cuttings, both foreign and na- youd that of the ordinary kinds. tive; secondly, ascertaining their ad iptation to Fe Bald Barley brought from Italy in| soil and clima ; and thirdly, by determininz, also a valuable addition to our bread crops, being especially desirable for maltin; purposes. The success of the tests made with it bas induced the Office to order an increased supply for distribution. t has a said tbat the culture of the Chi- nese Sugar Cane is as yet only an experiment. This is true; all the becedits of that plant are not realized, but the experiment ig one with which we have good reason to be sMtisfied. A Product hitherto unknown to the country—a new staple—has been introduced, not less than 100 000 acres are at Present occupied with it, and at least $1,000,000 profit are confidently expected to be obtained therefrom in excellent syrup and superior fodder, besides, perhap-, other economical uses __ The “Hungarian grass” (Setaria Germanica) Ymported in 1454, has also proved a source of vast benefit in various parts of the country, being of luxuriant growth and Producing hay of the finest quality. Already has this im- provement been valued at hundreds of thous- ands of dollars in certain localities; but the time has not yet come for a full appreciation of its worth, which will not be comprehended until there shall no longer be so great an excess in our product of cora, sod when instead of feed- ing this to swine. the culture of this grass and the Chinese sugarcane for horses, mules, neat atte, and sheep shall engage the attention of the farmer. _ The - Rign flax-seed” imported from Rus- Sia, is In caltivation in some of the western and northern states. [tis piant of great exeel- Jence, aud is giving such ao impulse to this branch of culture as will soon enhance the pro- duet of flax, quality and quantity considered, me ~ fold. oe remark was made in 1554, by the late Senator Clayton of Del are, that he intro- duction of a siagle variety of nip into that little State was worth more than all previous expenditures by the Patent Office for agricul- tural purposes. The meagre product of the ternip fields in many regions of this countr had long deterred farmers from cultivating this importaatcrop much beyond the demand for culinary uses; yet the great profit arising from its culture in a few lecaiities in our middie and northern States, and very generally in certain evuntries of Europe, stood forth in evidence of the advantages that might be derived. Ac- cordingly, in 1855, the seeds of twenty six va- rieties this esculent were obtained from Messrs. Chariwood & Cummings of London, which were assorted into parcels and committed into careful hands in every State and Territory in the Union, with instructions for culti ition, and printed forms in blank ior reporting the results. The returns were in corroboration of the presumed fact that, by the judicious adap- tation of varieties to the respective soils and climates, the turnip crop could be rendered by exjeiment, the means of impr ving them. A present monied value may not be fixed upon what has been done in this respect, yet a great work has been commenced. A competent agont has been sent through the Southern and Southwestern States, even to New Mexico, in pursuit of information in regard to the native vines, and to procure cuttings of the same for culture in other regions. The representations of this office in relation t» the * Cork oak” and the distribution of its scorns, have induced the successful culture of this tree in various parts of the Middle and Southern States, Hill, near Cinci Ohio; and it is to be boped thatthe pol ay be generally adopt- ed in other available localities. As it is a posite fo! ardy con i 's substitution for other trees, whieb yield little or no profit, would in- volve but little Jabor or expense; and yetit may be expected that we may derive benefits from it, in fifteen or twenty years, and for cen- turies thereafter. Qurimportation of cork and corks in 1857 exceeded $250,000, and as the de- mand, in time, will doubtless be greatly in- creased, we shall then be able to meet it witha domestic supply, the advantage of which will be especially realized in connection with the wine culture. ressed in the Agricul- The opinion was ex tural report of 1554, that the “Short-norned Durham,’ or more properly the ‘ Improved Short hora,” is the most profitable breed of cattle, in certain localities for meat or milk, and the r-asons for that opinion were set forth at length, while portraits of animals of this breed were given and their characteristics de- scribed. In the Report of the year following, the ‘North Devon,’’ with its peculiar excellen- cies, was presented inlike manner Previous to the publication of these Reports, the cattle de- soribed were not unknown in various parts of the United States, nor ps paging ee and dairy men ignorant of their good qu: buta tal sepeieaiin of them had never evinced, nor general efforts made to induce such ascheme as was then more than pe by s recurrence to the fact that all the neat cattle we possess—in 1850, numbering more than 15.000.000, were the increase of compara- tively few importations made within the past three centuries. ‘Yo substitute new breeds for all of these now here would not of course be difficult ; but to improve the existing stock " the imported animals was festly a simple task—one that has been prose- cated with renewed energy since that period, and an adherence to which must result before long in great advantages. ‘lo what extent the country has profited, or is likely to profit within a few Ubrough this retorm, or what credit the Patent Office should receive for what is jone, may not pr Stable throughout the conatry. Lhe Agri- | be fully determined; but it is by mony t.wcul Report of this office for 1855, contains ese of the tabular statements of experiments wich these seeds, showing that 15,20, and even of the best informed in relation to this subject That thwagh thie chen, the con- 30 tons of roots per acre, in some instances had gressional appropriations haye been repaid to the people many fold. —— Pree gy the instanecs_ herein given are suf- lent to show that millions have already been returned to the country in profit, for the thou- sands expended, the greatest advantages doubt- less lie in the schemes which require a longer time for their execution; such as the culture of the vine and of tea ; the introduction and im- provement of domestic animals; the general adoption of a system of drainage; the prosecu- tion (jointly with the Smithsonian Institution) of an extended series of investigations on the natural features or physical condition of the United States, in respect to soil, elevation and climate, as an important aid in determining the adaptation of particular products to locali- ties; and in exciting the attention of the whole country to the improvement and increase of the varieties of garden vegetables, fruits, and flowers. In proof of the general success of these of- forts—if, indeed, proof is needed at this day — it is worthy of remark that the agricultural so- cieties of the United States have increased from two to three-fold within the last three years ; and that the members of these societies respect- ineiy have augmented in a corresponding ratio; while agricultural schools and colleges are forming in several of the States with promise of @ race of intelligent farmers, such as no coun- try has ever ised—of men familiar alike with the teachings of science and the duties of the field. The United States census of 1860 will set forth the results of the work now in progress or to be prosecuted in the intervening time. The attention of the country should be directed to this source of information, and the public mind thus prepared to appreciate its importance. A comparison of the returns of industry for this era with those of the two decades next preced- ing, will render apparent facts in relation to agriculture, whch may not otherwise be ob- tained. But the fruition of the most salutary operations contemplated by this division of the Patent Office must necessarily be progressive for many years to come, while new and feasible plans for improvement may be constantly de- veloped, invoking the liberality of the nation und the enterprising industry of the people.
