ed By experiment that dry comb laid a.
bout hives. forms a trap for the bee
moth, by attracting the miller, which
dePosites its eggs in the comb, where

Important TO Farmers.-A Mr.. Beech,
er, Of New York, informs the public, that
for the sum of $50, he will afford ma
chine, which will, by the aid Of single
horse power, and suitable car and atten-
dance, thrash from straw, 100 bushels Of
grain; shell 200 bushels of corn; grind
30 bushels provender; and cut 600 bum
dies of straw, in the short space of IL
hours. The operation Of the machinery
may be seen at No. b Bucling Slip, New
York. This must certainly be matter
worthy the attention of those who are
agrIculturists upon an extensive scale.

Large Peach Orchards.-It is stated
in the Springfield Republican, that
Mr.. Jones of Shrewsbury, n. J. about
twenty-five miles from n. York, has
the largest peach orchards in America.
One OF them is mile and half long,
and contains Ito acres the other con-
tains 40 acres. In both there are about
twenty-two-t thousand trees. They were
commenced about nine years since, and
the profits are fast raising the enterpris-
ing owner from poverty to wealth. tits
SAID he last year refused seven thousand
dollars for the peaches on the trees
The crop the present year is not so a.
bundant, but the price in market is suf-
fciently increased to afford him hand
some income. About two weeks since,
Mr. Jones, with some of his neighbors,
sent cargo of four hundred baskets TO
the New York market, which readily
sold at two dollars basket. A basket
contains little short of bushel.-
Some Of his better peaches have since
sold quick at five dollars basket. The
soil of these orchards, says the Repub.
lican, is worth very little for any other
purpose, and is poorer than the pine
plains in this vicinity.

HoRsEs.-An alarming mortality has
taken place among the horses of Massa-
chusetts. The disease which is thus
fatal, is described, as commencing with
continual inclination Of the head to
the right, and subsequent propensity
to turn round on the heels, until the an
lmal falls and dies. Il is termed ano-
plexy. The heads of some of the deceas.
ed animals when opened exhibited wa
ter, and others blood on the brain. The
former cases are called SerOns, and the
latter SonguineOus apolexy. There is
but one remedy which has vet been
found eifectual in any case, and that is
copious bleeding in the first stages ofthe
disorder. Not less than 6 to 8 quarts
should be taken from the horse, and this
should be done on first perceiving the
symptoms. and before any eflusion Of
blood on the brain.
