PERPETUAL MOTION.
Owego, BrOome Co. N. Y. Feb.

Owego, Bro0n,e Co. N. Y. FEB. 9.
A very curious machine, apparently
possessing, within itself, apower to move
and TO continue its motion, has been ex-
hibited in this village for some time past.
The machine consists of eight wheels, six
of which appear to be of no other use
than TO add velocity TO the eighth. The
first and principal wheel gives motion TO
all the rest; it contains about 90 buckets;
eight of these buckets, which are cOntigu-
GUS to each other, aud upon one side Of the
wheel, contain each small ball the up
per one being placed little out of the
line of direction, forces that side of the
wheel which contains the weights to grav-
itate. At the lowest point Of descent,
these balls are successfully discharged,
one at time, into the eighth wheel, which
carries them up, and deposits them again
into the original wheel. One Of these
balls, in ascending, lowing TO the increased
velocity Of the eighth wheeD occupies one
fourth part of the time that is occupied by
the first wheel 10 descending through the
space intervening between two Of IFS
buckets; so that three fourths Of the time
the eighth wheel is without any weight
10 1.-THE accelerated motion that this
machine acquires by all the weights being
in the principal wheel SO great a portion
of the time, appears to be sufficient to
counterfeit the reaction Of the ascending
ball; so that the machine in making this
revolution loses none Of its original force.
The construction is simple, and the
whole movement is obvious at single
glance. The inventor is Mr.. WILLIAM
Foster. of this town, an ingenious aud
self-tanght mechanic, who we understand,
intends taking the machine to the city OF
Albany, during the present session OF the
Legislature, TO exhibit for the gratitica-
lion of the curious and the learned.

Ofthe numerous improvements OF which

ducing aud promoting in our country
breeds so capable of improvement, the
proud title of Pablo Benefactors. This
remark occurred, on learning, that dur
ing last week one Of our merchant vict-
uallers purchased no less than Sixty Thou
sand weight of Pork, principally raised
in New Hampshire and Vermont. We
saw about thirty of the animals which
composed the purchase, and which for
whiteness Of flesh, smallness of bone, thin
ness of skin and ear, and pIumpness of
body, could not be exceeded. Some Of
them, we learn, before slaughtered could
scarcely see, were unable to rise on all
their legs, and were fed in a recumbent
posture. We were told by the drovers,
that farmer in one of the upper towns
10 New-Hampshire, has in one pen twenty
pigs, which, when slaughtered, it is sup
posed will weigh 5000 VT. and that an
other neighbouring farmer has twelve
others, which are expected to weigh
5000 VT.

AGRlCUL TURAL.
SUMMER WHEAT.

1t is perhaps not generally known, that
lands which will produce but little or no
winter wheat, will produce handsome
crop of the summer kind. You may
SOW il soon after the frost is out of the
ground, and it will be fit to harvest about
2 weeks after that sowed ia the fall. The
wheat will be smeet, and vheat aud to
me infinitely preferable 10 rye.
| have known lands which would pro-
duce no rye but blasted, yield twenty-six
bushels to The acre.
There are some advantages with re-
spect to this kind of grain worthy the
attention of my fellow faimers--it cannot
he winter kiiled--it will do well to SOW in
the spring where other grain has been
winter killed, and will make flour supe-
rior to rye.
To me it appears, that owing TO the
present extraordinary winter, much Of
our grain will be killed /; and if it should
prove the case, | know of no better way
to remedy the evil. than to improve the
same land with summer wheat.

From The last Massachusetts Agricultural
Repository and Journal.

II
One of the most successful experiments
in agriculture that we have ever known,
is that of the Alms-house farm 10 Salem,
which is under the superintendent Of
Mr.. Paul Upton.
This farm consists Of about thirty-five
acres, as we are informed, and was two
years since 10 a state of nature, and very
rough land. 1t has been brought TO, and
the produce during the year 1918 was as
follows:
Pork killed, weight 1860 lbs.
Twelve live pigs sold for forty.two dolls.
On hand fifty-seven live pigs.
Corn 400 bushels.
Potatoes 1850 bushels.
Turnips 900 do.
Three tons of squashes.
Fifty tons pumpkins.
All the common summer vegetables for
the Alm-house.
We doubt whether any farm in the
United States has produced more in pro-
portion TO its size, and it is proof Of
what well directed industry can effect.

The barn is crowded with hay and grain
and fifteen head Of cattle feed 10 the barn
yard. Milk flows in abundance, and Ma
ry tells me she can make as excellent

The ducks and geese swim ia the poll be-
low the house and an hundred fowls dis

Frank does not toll like slave but
he sees to every thing; rises with the
robin, attends to his concerns: and labors
If necessary until dinner. The afternoon,
unless business presses, more especially
during the winter, be devotes to reading
and social converse. A happier fellow
you never saw; aud he insists upon il, la
Dor is not an evil-bH: that If gives TO food,
and to society and to repose an exquisite
zest, to which the sons Of ease and indnI-
gence are entirely strangers.
1t would be happy day for our coun-
try, if We could see thousands following
the example Of Frank Woodgrove. Ma
ny an aching heart would then beat cheeri-
ly. Then would farming become, as ii
ought, the first among the most honorable
professions. The science, which is yet in
its infancy, would be highly improved

e Do anto others as yoa mould haze 9th
ers do unto yon."


ers do unto you"
The above is an old injunction, and, If
obeyed, would undoubtedly. think, be Of
essential service to the community at
large-as it is obvious that a person
would not wish to be treated in an impro-
per or ungentlemanly manner, although
he may be guilty Of the same towards his
neighbor-HeBce arises the necessity of
" doing unto others as we would have
others do unto u.s." But | will be as
brief as possible.
When see man taking any thiDg up
on credit, without the least probability of
paying for the things thus obtained, and
defrauding the owner of his property, /
say to myself that should be glad to see
that man I" do as he would wish to be done
by"
When / know Of person going TO his
neighbor, enquiring after the welfare Of
himself and family, and protesting the
warmest friendship, at the same time re.
questing the loan of a sum of money
which he obtains, on condition of bis re-
turning it at such a time, while it is his
intention never to return it, and thus his
friend is deprived of his lawful property,
/ think that man does not " do as he
would have others do unto him."
When hear of person signing over
his property unto another, so as TO deiraud
his creditor of his just right, l cannot re-
frain from exclaiming, Il wish that man
would :" do as he would wish TO be done
by"
But when l hear man or woman en-
deavoring to wrest from fellow mortal his
REPUTATION, that which alone endears us
to mortality, and which is of such inesti-
mable value TO the happiness of man, by
raising and circulating false reports con-
corning him, my indignation rises against
such unprincipled and inhuman monsters,
and giving vent TO my passions, exclaim,
they edo not unto others as they would
have others do unto them"
These are all sore grievances to which
we are subject.
The three first, indeed, are bad enough,
but the last is indispensable. / cannot,
for my part, conceive how any person can
be SO base as to carry pretended friendship
in one hand and dagger in the other 4?
There cannot be one sentence brought for
ward in justification of ISLANDER. There
is not one person to be found who will own
it-nay, even slanderers themselves, dis
claim having any connexion with it.
A slanderer will generally profess the
greatest friendship for you to your face,
nay, will even appear as if he had your
welfare at heart. But, on the contrary,
when he is rid of your presence, you are
one Of the most odious beings his eyes
have ever beheld, and he will paint your
slightest imperfections, with such base
coloring as to astonish aud at once to pre-
JUDGE the minds of the greatest part Of
his hearers against you.
Those who escape the fangs Of such an
horrid monster, should be truly than kful,
which trust may be the happy lot Of all
nv readers. OBSERVER.
