Agriculture.

CIDER.-rhe apples which fall early
should be gathered and ground for immc-
diate use and for vinegar. The fall apples
should be suffered to remain on the trees till
ripe, and then be housed till they become
mellow. They should be sorted before they
are ground, and all dirt and rotten apples
carefully removed. Let your mill, press,
watts, barrels, &c. be all perfectly sweet, 4nd
let the juice stand in the pomacc twelve
hours or more, which will give the cider a
better colour and render it richer As soon
as the cider is worked, let it be racked int
clean casks, or bottles; and if part OF tho
cider must be distilled, (Which however is
very apt to lead to intempcrance,) add few
quarts of brandy to barrel of the cider,
and it will tend greatly to preserve it,
Look around you and see if YOU cannot
take some measures to improve your farm
Can YOU not drain the wet parts of it, and
lead in streams upon the dry; remove stpmps,
stones, &c. build walls, plant hedges which
may supply the want of materials for fencing;
or prepare place for compost Can YOU
not make large stack Of ferns or brakes in
or or near your barnyard, which You may
cut down next winter, as fast as the cattle
will tread it into the dung; and with which
yon may litter your stables, hog-sties, &c.
Ferns make the very best of manure. Gath
er the seeds that are first ripe, and preserve
them carefully. Seed corn may be gather
ed in the field. Raise your own seeds, and
YOU will know theirquality. Donot cut corn
stalks till the kernel is perfectly filled and
somewhat hard. Break up green swart
which is to be titled next year. Shut III
hogs for fatting. Sow winter grain, if yor
have not done it. Give due attention to th,
meetings of Agricultural Societies, and get
premium if you can.
COWS.--Keep no more cows than yol
can keep well-one COW well fed will pro
duce as much milk as two indifferently trcat

tered badly, She will rarely recover, durin
the succeeding summer, SO as to bcCom

all means, be housed in extreme weather
and particularly those which give milk, or
failure in the quantity of milk will be expe

Grand s;cignor has demanded They say
they will never come underthc Turkish yoke
again, p"cfcrring death to slavery; but witt,
all their arilor and heroism, fear they will
be destroyed 1t is estimated that the Turks
have 100000 nen at Scala Ncuya for the at
tack on Samos and that the Greeks cannot
muster more than Is ,oo0 fighting men.
We learn from all parts that the loss Of
1 Ipsara has not discouraged the Greeks and

/ Ilvtlriot squardron, when he heard of the
event, cried like a child, and Immediately
sailed for the island to save any thing which
might be lett that he attacked and retook
the island, dcstroyc the garrison, which was
left amounting to about 1000, took 50 sail Of
gu.- boats, biigs, sc. and carried off the car

We have just heard from Scala Ncuva,
that the Greek squadron made a fciht to land
1t Sanos, which brought all the Turks on
the beach at scala NeuSa, where five brig,
lying Oft, fired a heavy shower of grape Shot.
which killed Il large number Of the Turks.
:. Alermedah Pacha, il is said, has not yet
