[FrOm an English paper.1

A number of years ago, paper by the Rev.
Mr.. White, a benefited clergyman near SAL
lsbpry, appeared in one Of the volumes Of the
Transactions Of the Bath and West-of.E England
Society; in which he declares, that he raised
as good crops of Potatoes, by planting the
skins or parings, which are got, when prepar-
ing that esculent for food, in the kitchen, as
those which are obtained, when the bulbs are
either planted whole, or cut into sets, in the
ordinary way.--Incredulity is by no means the
sin that most easily besets John Bull. He
could not be at case until he put so economic
cal discovery to the test. But, It was soon
discovered, that potatoc crop, managed in.
the ,Whittlesian method, did not briard the
same year, in which it was planted. Applica-
ton was therefore made to the discoyerer for
further instructions in the culture Of the pota-
to skins. In course, he transmitted areply, in

BUTTER.

1t is said, and it is worth the experiment,
that a tablespoon full of powdered saIt-petre,
stirred, few hours before churning, into as
much cream as will produce 12lbs. of butter,
will take off the faint of garlick, and probably,
OF any other unpleasant or rank taste, occa-
stoned by turnips, or other strong provender.
Stirring the cream whilst collecting for
churning, once or twice day, and especially
when that skinned from different milkings is
mixed, contributes much to the excellence of
the butter.
1t has been long known and practised, that
a gill or two of sharp vinegar, thrown into the
churn of cream facilitates what is called the
coming of the butter.
In chnrning for butter, always have an open
space for the air to have free access to the
cream. If you stop the orifce, as is customa-
ry, to prevent the cream from splashing out,
you may chum for hours in vain. Butter is
produced by the union of oxygen with the
cream, and more butter viii be made and
quicker, and of a finer flavor, if you have your
churn sufficiently open than if you have not
an aperture ofa proper size.

IN erfraet Of letter on the subject Of

so0cieg Indian Corn for fodder.
81 have found the advantages of SOW
ing Indian Corn for fodder so many that
hope it viii be brought into general
use. The quantity which can be pro-
duced on an acre, when compared to
any other fodder, is immense. aud the
quality, (if cut in proper season, and
sell cured is superior to the best hay.
The mannerin which proceed, is to
plough the land as is usual for corn. and
about the same time-then lay it off in
to burrows foot wide. and two and an
half feet distant from each other, so as
to admit small horse-plough between
the rows. Spread manure in the fur
rows, and then sow Southern Corn on
the manure, SO that the seed NAV be
about six orseFen inches apart, and cov-
er them the same depth as corn is.
when planted. Southern corn will af-
ford much greater quantity than North
ern Corn.
When cornis about eight or ten inch
es high, it will be proper to pass horse
plough up and down between each row.
Hoe up all the great weeds, and cover
all the small ones. 1t is important that
this ploughing and wedding should be
done faithfully.
About the middle Of July it will be fit
to NOW, which should be done while it
is succulent and before it spindIes; for if
it's not cut early, it exhausts the land I'M
necessarily, and the stalk grows hard and
tough, and loses its nutritive quality, con-
sequently becomes unfit for use. Care
should be taken not to cutit too near the
ground, for it will sprout again, and in
September you will have another crop.
The value Of this kind of fodder more
than any other, depends on the success
OF curing it, as rain or dew Injuries it ex-
tremely. If possible, it should be carri-
ed where it could be placed under COW
er during shower, or thrown into stacks,
and as s@en as sufficiently cured, it should
be Immediately housed for the winter
use-when cattle or horses will prefer
it to the best and sweetest clover.
IF IN consequence Of spring drought
you should apprehend that your crop of
hay will fall short of the necessary guam.
tity to support your cattle through the
ensuing winter, you can @break up''
piece of land, even as late as June, sow
it with corn as above described, and it
will produce you, if a good season, eight
tons of excellent fodder TO the acre If
your pastures are parched with heat, and
afford little feed, which often occurs in
July and August, you can provide against
this exigency, by appropriating in the.
spring, a portion Of land for the cuItiva-
ton of this article, to be used as green
fodder. You will be amply repaid, in an
abundant quantity of rich milk from your
cows, and your butter will be as sweet as
violet, without sugar, and as yellow as
gold, without any assistance from dye

Of nature SO deadly, that, compared

To guard orr readers against this foe

much in size; it is frequently an inch

when coiled, its length can hardly be

WHEREAS the CONTRACT made
w by and between the respective COM

subject of the Eastern Lands, have been refer
red by the House of Representatives to the next
session OF General Court And whereas this ref
erence has not taken place from any decided
osaPprobation OF the terms of that contract, on
the part of the House, but in consequence of
the greatness Of the subject and its important
bearings upon the interests of this Common
wealth, and because at the present session, in
asmuch as it is of an extraordinary nature. and
Tor special purpose, and has been attended by
very few members, it could not, in the appre-
hension of the members present, be so intelli-
gently discussed, or satisfactorily decided. as at
a'usual session and with full representation
OF all the people of the Commonwealth; There
fore,
Resolred, That the Legislature of this Com
monwealth will, at the next session of the Gen
erai Court, take the said contract into consid-
Grafton, and decide upon the expediency of
accepting or rejecting the same.
Resolued, That His Excelleney the Cover
nour of this Commonwealth be requested to
communicate the preceding resolution to the
Governor of the State of Maine, for the pur-
pose of apprizing the Legislature and people of
that State of the reasons, which have occasion
ed this postponement; and Of indicating the
willingness Of the Legislature of this State, by
thus leaving the contract open to both States,
to give to each an opportunity for farther and
more full reflection upon the subject; to the
end that any arrangement which may take
place, may, with more certainty, eventuate in
the perfect satisfaction of the people of both
States.
