This i the name Riven to a new and important discovery of improved cultiva tion, made by Mr. Russell tfcmstock, a citixen of 'Western New York. The fol lowing article on tho subject will be read with interest: ' , ; I f From the Oswego Times, Dec. 20. Terra-Culture An Important Die eovery hy llwtell Oomtiock.Wt have Wn nnt a little interested by the exntn- ;n.rin nf . vtaoer containing a Jiae of matter relative to a late discovery of a principle f natural law in Testation, by Mr. Kussell Cotnstock,' of Mabb-ttsville, Dutches Co., New York. It appears that the fact of Mr. CouMtock's disoove ry hits been for some time before the pub lic, but owing to want of any provision in our patent and copyright Laws, re cognising or' securing' rewtird fur such discoveries, he has thus far xnly made limited and confidential eonimunicntriMi of his new agricaltural theory, auffioient to test and Uemomttrute its praoiioiiuiuty aud importance by actual experiment. Aathe only method by which he can dis stmiuate and obtain any remuneration for his dixcovcry, Mr. Comstock gives private and coi.Bdcutial lectures all over the State, wherever a sufficient class or number of subscribeis are obtained Jo justify bis atteiMlaoce, charging oiMdoU larfor admission, aud five dollars at the eud of fhe year to ihose wTio adopt and make practical application of his new theory. , ' , For two years Mr. Comrtoek' has made his cwindential disclosures to agri culturists, aud as the result of the infor mattoti thus : eommmiieated, he now pre sents eeitilieati ami ktiers fuun a large number of entlu)cn of known mUilll rence. nrotiiy and honor, all tending to establish and prove agcnernl lit applies tion. Tho 6irimunts. prove a generi law .nnlicable to tho whole vegetable Idajjdom. By the terra-culture, all kin of trees, tttiit. fruit and oin tmcn'a flonruTr; peach trees fifty to a hundred veart old. partially decayed and - barren, are restored ta a WUhj uJ. thrifty eru dition, as when young, in a single ocason, so u to broduco tho most abundant and finest fruit. The eame results are pro nod upon all fruit trees, an-i what spoibs . v.Mm.. b. ,t.i.. ; ...,u,Jm' !, the precis ago of tree is ascertained avid determined by Mr. Comtock's theory. The terra-eultnr lw been applied to all kinds of gardfa vegetables, plants, fruits and shrub lie ry, as, also, to all kiuds of crous. with wonderful success. We can not go into detail of what experiments have proved. Crops of grain and vegeta bles are, at great saving of labor, more than doubled by terra-culture. Otis ex- eiiment b1kws the production ot luuu ushel of Mercer potatoes to the acre.- It Is also shown that ' the great crops whioh have "been produced accidentally, wira t terra -culture, oi which we have an evidence in Oswego county. Ou the 24th ult Mr. (Vnnstock lectur eJ to a larae number of the farmers of Osweiro county, at the villnje of Fulton amon hom w s MW William Ingell, of the town of Volney who for the two last years has received the first premium on corn at thff State Agricultural Fair. We learn from an intelligent agrwuitur. ist of this, .city, , who - wa also present, that during the course 'of the leeture, which has the form of forty questions, 11 being at liberty to put and answer question, it was clearly . asceriainf d that Mr, lngell ' produced his 135 bushels of corn to the acre by the accident al application of the terra culture'princi ple. ' f " From theevidence before us, which may be seen a?, our office, we caimot re- sist the coiiyic.tion that Mr. Comstock's discovery of a natural law of universal ap plication is one of the most important of the age, a discovery tnat lor tne uonor and 'prosperity of our' 'country, ad for the interest of mankind, . should at oace be made public by the patronage of gov ernment.
