HINTS TO FARMERS.


As a necessary preparation OF rye to-
sowing, observe the following directions;
Salt is to be dissolved in water until an
eyg can swim. Then half as much more
is to be added and the seed put to steep
iug-after IL hours an ounce Of alum to
every CALM is to be put in, and the
whole stand twelve hours longer; the IL
euor must be drawn of aud the rye
spread on the faor and covered thick
with slac k lime sifted upon it and stirred
until the whole is pregnated Herewith,
after which II is to be Immediately sown.
1t is said there is NIT much danger OF
rye. blasting if managed in this manner,
except only from local causes, such as
barberry bushes which ought 10 be erad-
Gated from the borders Of fields as the,

We have read Of a farmer, who for
some reason being obliged to be early
sowed oats at break of day, and had har-
rowed all in before sunrise. He observed
that the oats sown thus early, outs'ripfed
the other oats sswn on the same day after
the day wa, come on, grew taller, had a
larger head, aud appeared every way
better, although that part OF the land
that was sowed early, it there was any
difference, Was the poorest side. Our
author continues. it is agreeable to rea-
son that it should 10 good. For the dews

BITTER PUMPKIN.

Nsssrs. Printers,
1 received last fall, from friend in
Massachusetts, bitter pumpkin, which
I beg leave, through the medium Of your
paper, to introduce to those Hnacquaint-
ed with il, as great curiosity.-It is as
pure and bitter as quassia, and perhaps
a. Intense. Its appearance is exactly
like any pumpkin, and theIe is nothing
to distinguish it either in its growth, or
the ripe fruit, but the taste. 1t has been
known in some parts Of Massachusetts,
for two or three years, and perhaps Tor
a longer period. / understand that it has
been used as q stomachic in some instan.
ces, infused in spirit, but that its prinei-
pal use has been as a substitute for hops
in making beer. had come doubts whe-
Their il would answer as a substitute in
making yeast; but from some trials
which have been made, i am inclined to
believe it viii. Ifso, it is vegetable Of
great value.-It is raised with but very
little trouble and expense, and is a mere
certrin crop than hops. i have never
seen in any medical or botanical publica-
ton, any accosnt Of this pumpkin, nor
did l know of it. existence until within
q few months past.

FROM EUROPE.
The political affairs Of none OF the ma
tons of Europe, France excepted, present
any interesting aspects.
The finances Of France are represent
ed BY the Minister Of Finance to be in a
very embarrassed state. With an unusu-
al freedom, he announces that the expen-
ditures of the current year, after all the
savings which can be made will exceed
the contemplated revenue upwards Of
two hundred aud twenty millions OF
francs, (more than forty four millions Of
dolIsr,) THAT the supply Of this large
sum, had been obtained BY loans but in
those mad Of Messrs. Earrings and Hopes,
(foreigners) there was a loss on the stock
Of more than 16 per cent. while there
was a yet still larger loss on the sum
borrowed Of the French House Of LATTE!
The Minister boldly announces, that the
most oppressive Of the French burthen is
the cautionary army. He expresses the
hope, that it will be Withdrawn the ensu-
ing November; aud pronounces, very
emphatically, that France is exhausted !;
AMI that her sacrifices must cease, for the
termination of her means had arrived
