" Is there nothing else" miss between
every breath land such phrases as this
/" That comes al" so much--say the price
is SO much, if you would speak English.
1t doesn't come, it goes from you at SO
much.
Another thing. AS it is manifestly
impossible to keep one price, and never
change it, however honest you may be,
because of the constant fluctuation of the
markets; yet, when you are taking an ar
ticle from the shelf, then is the time to
name your price and then never fall
never stir a peg. Adhere to this rule,
and you will save yourself an Infinite deal
of trouble-Every body will be satisfied
then.-Bnt otherwise, If / have g bsas"
you down, as it is very properly called,
no matter to what price, am not salts
fed, because / am not certain that anoth-
er should not have beaten you down still
more. And this is the way with all. We
don't mind buying things dear, il others
cannot buy them cheaper. And no mat
ter how cheap We get them, the mere
suspicion that we might have got them
cheaper, makes them dear. Some block
heads name price, and before you have
time TO ask them to fall-slap i--down
they 60 some ten or fifteen per cent.
" And now good bye William; adhere
to these rules, and / will answer for your

IMPROVED PATENT FAN.

Thomas WILSON, of Maryland, has
invented Fan for cleaning grain, of which,
in answer to an enquiry from the Editor
of the "American Farmer" he gives the
following description =" TIE fan is dou-
BILE blasted; after the wheat passes through
the upper blast and upper riddle, (nearly
as in the old method it descends again
iato second riddle and second blast, un-
connected with the first; it then runs into
the sitting range, through which it passes
| into fine sieve, which lets all small seeds,
&c. out underneath. The clean wheat
runs out in front, while the sitting range
separates the garlic and every thing larger
than the wheat, and throws it out at one
side OF the fan. The two riddles, sitting
range, and sieve, are kept in motion by
means of crank on the end of the axle
tree, and the whole machinery put in
motion by simply turning the handle of
the fan, which is much easier than any
other now in use. For large establish
ments, the dimensions Of the fan can be
increased, and also the force of air.
beg leave to add, that from repeat
ed experiments made with the small fan,
now exhibited as a model, on Bowley's
wharf, thirty bushels Of wheat can be
cleaned from chaff every hour, and the
power Of the machine can be augmented
TO suit the wish of the purchasers. In
the cleaning of barley, oats, rye, &c. the
sitting range used for wheat is drawn out,
aud the wheat riddles changed for coarser
ones which go with the fans. Flaxseed
and cloverseed are cleansed the same as
Wheat
The Editor of the Weekly Register
says in note, "Mr. Wilson speaks very
moderately Of his machine-he has clean
ed sixty bushels of wheat in an hour, as
we are informed on indubitable authority !:
the posuer required is about equal to that
of common lad Of IS or IL years old. !"
A female correspondent of the g Amer
lean Farmer" informs the public that
poultry-hoases and yards may be effectu-
ally protected from Chicken. Lice, by
making the roosts, nestboxes, &c. of
Sassafras mood. The reason Of this she
does not pretend to give; but vouches for
! the fact being as indispntable as that cedar

SIR-Finding by publication under
your signature, as President Of the Agri-
cultural Society of Berkshire, that il is
a desideratum with that body to discover
" the means of extirpating the Canada
Thistle in an economical way, practicable
TO farmers in general l have thought it
would not be improper to give you the
result of my experience on that head !:
without however, wishing to be consider
ed candidate for your premium.
Three years ago labourer pointed out
TO me piece of ground on my farm,
covered with the Canada Thistle. He
was unable to suggest any means of killing
it, but remarked that it might be kept
from spreading by heaping and burning
upon it buckwheat or other straw. AS
this method was but palliative, pursued
another, and this was to pour slowly upon
it the fish. beef, and pork pickle of my
winter provisions. In few days there
was not al appearance of vegetation of
any kind on the earth to which the pickle
had been applied, and from that day to
this, the thistles have not re-appeared.
While thinking on this subject, / had
determined chad the pickle faiIed) to try
dpple punamace, spread thinly over the
thistles-knowing that malic acid would
destroy the most vigorous and tap-rooted
plants.

dient humble servant,

To Farmers.-This is emphaiically the
time TO destroy caterpilIars in your or
cbards. On large trees blow them off
with gun charged with powder, or poke
off their nests with swab placed on the

young trees, place clod of earth in the
crotch, grass downwards, aud they will
soon leave the tree.-Albany Argus.

ia communication to the Agricultural
Society of that state, strongly recon-
mends, from his own experience, as well
as from the practice of others, to cat up
corn veyy early, where winter grain is to
be sown, say by the middle of September,
and put it in small stacks. This, he says,
does not iniure the quality, or lessen the
quantity, of the corn; while it improves
and increases the fodder; saves labor in
it; and permits the grain to be
put in earlier and better, and thus pre-
serves it in great measure from the fly.
