ASHES AS MANURE FOR GRASS ISLANDS,.

There is scarcely any part of the coun-
trv, where leached ashes cannot be obtained
in greater or less quantity and in the vicin-
itv of asheries, abundance may generally be
had with no other expense than drawing.
If the following remarks by Count Cbaptal
are applicable to soils of whatever materi.
ais they may be composed, knowledge of
this property of leached ashes, would in
many instances be of very great value. AT
all events, the experiment is easily perform
ed On moderate scale.
"The ashes, produced by the combustion
Of wood in our common domestic fires, give
rise to some very remarkable results
Without being leached these ashes are much
too active, but after having been deprived,
blythe action Of water, of nearly all their salts,
and employed in this state, under the name
ofbuck-ashes, they still produce great effect.
"The action of the buck-ashes is most
pouerful upon moist lands and meadows, in
which they not only facilitate the growth OF
useful plants, but ifemployed constantly for
several wears, they wiU free the soil from,
peeds. By the use ofthem, land constantly
drenched with water may be freed from
rushes, and prepared for yielding clover and
other plants of good kinds
1t has been frequently supposed that ash.
es applied to wet heavy soils is injurious.
This is probably owing to the application
being too uneven, and in large quantities,
aud to the want of mixing them intimately
with the soil. Chaptal says, 'Wood ashes
possess the double property Of amending a
wet and clayey soil by dividing and drying
it. and of promoting vegetation by the salts
they contain. "

RURAL ECONOMY.
From, the Gcnnessee Farmer.
PLOUGHING IN STRAW.

PLOUGHlNH IN SlhEtN.
Straw that has become fully ripe, contains
but very small portion Of soluble matter,
the remainder being insoluble fiber. which,
except under particular circumstances, IS
not decomposed in the soil, under several
wears. For this reason it affords very little
nutriment to growing plants, when p!oughed
under before it has undergone decomposl-
ton. Instead, therefore, Of adopting the
practice. which is now becoming so preva-
lent, of ploughng in straw in the early part
of autumn, wewould recommend that It be
kept over winter for the purpose of pre>er-
wing the soluble juices of barn yard manure.
Straw is always needed in winter as beds
for domestic animals, contributing much TO
their health and cleanliness. and consequent
" to the profits ofthe farmer; and where
it is to be had in large quantities, and Is not
needed for fodder. it should be used plenti-
fully as litter for them. 1t will thus act as
sponge, and retain the richest and most
easily dissipated portions of the manure,
which generally run off in liquid state In
a black rivulet from the foot of the mass. and
are either wholly evaporated or lost IN the
ground. The manure would in turn assist
in the decomposition Of the straw, breaking
up its dry and hardened fiber and reducing
tito state fit to be applied to the soil.
On light and porous soils, unfemented
straw should never be ploughed under, the
benefit in such cases being very trlfilng, Il
any at all but in hard and clayey grounds,
considerable advantage is sometimes derl-
we'd from the practice, by It's rendering the
soil less compact and more pcrmeabie by
air and water.
The above remarks are intended to ap-
ply to straw and all stalks of plants which
have become fully ripe. If they are used
while in green state, and slightly fermented
in heap, they will furnish twenty times the
amount Of nutriment 10 growing plants, that
dry straw does. Succulent plants may be
even turned under fresh, and they will be
readily decomposedin the soil. Hencegreen
crops of clover are ploughed in to great
advantage.-Ibid.

Magnanimdy and gratitude Of a Laon.-
Prince, tame lion, on board his majesty's
ship Ariadne, had keeper to whom he
was much attached; the keeper got drunk
one day, and, as the captain never forgave
the crime, the keeper was ordered to be
flogged; the grating was rugged on the main
deck, opposite Princes den, a large barred
up place, the pillars strong and cased with
iron. When the keeper began to strip,
Prince rose gloomly from his couch, and
got as near to his friend as possible; on be-
holding his bar back, he walked hastily
round the den, and when he saw the boat
swain infict the first lash, his eyes sparkled
with fire, and sides resounded with the strong
and quick flow from the unfortunate mans
back and the clottcd cats jerked their CORY
knots close to the lions den his fury became
tremendous, he roared with voice ofthun-
der, shook the strong bars of his prison, as
if they had been osiers, and finding his et-
forts to break loose unavailling, he rolled
and shrieked in a manner the most terrific
that it is possible to conceive. The captain
fearing that he might break loose he order
ed the marines to load and present at Prince
this threat rcdoubled his rage, and al last
the captain desired the keeper to be cast of
and 90 into his friend. 1t is impossible to
describe the JOY cvinced by the lion; he
licked with care the mangled and bleeding
back of the cruelty treated seaman, Gales.
sed him with his paws, which he folded
round the keeper as if to defy any one re-
newing similar treatment, and 1t was only
after several hours that Prince would allow
the keeper to quit his protection and return
among those who had so ill used him.

The following sensible and timely eau
ton against excessive speculations in Lands
would have been more necessary than 1t
actually is, had not the Executive, by its
Order in Council, requiring payments to
be made in specie, taken effective measures
to throw a monopoly of the Land-market
into the hands Of those who are already
deep speculators in the lands purchased
from the United States within the last two
years:
From the Detroit Daily Advertiser, Aug. "a.
THE LAND MANIA.
the capitalists who are buying up the
public lands could increase the agricultural,
manufacturing, and mercantile population
of the United States at their pleasure, they
would be masters of an almost unlimited
wealh.
There is but little agricultural produce ex.
ported from the United States. Nearly all
the world is at peace; so may it long con.
tinue. Agriculture is improving, and the
soil ofalmost every country supplies ITS m
habitants with bread.
Inthis state ofthings, which, for any thing
we see, is likely to continue for an indefinite
period of time, agricultural industry in the
United States cannot with advantage be ex.
tended much beyond the supply ofthe wants
of the population Of the United States. The
amount of our exports of grain and provis-
ions is the merest fraction, compared with
the quantity consumed in the country; not
more perhaps than the one-hun5redth part.
We all know that an extension ofagricul-
tural productions beyond corresponding

dustry. A limited quantity of bread is re-
quired there is limited amount Of means
to pay for it. In proportion as the produ.
GERS Of this bread are multiplied, their pro-
fits will be diminished. When the profits
of other branches of industry, capital and
labor are Withdrawn from the less profita-
bic business, and seek another that yields
better profit.
The demand for agricultural produce
being limited, it is obvious that the demand
for land must likewise be limited.
1t is true that the population of the Uni
ted States increases faster than the popula-
ton of any other country, and this requires
a corresponding extension Of agricultural
Industry. There has been such an increase
a considerable part Of the Mississippi and
the country ofthe Upper Lakes has been
brought under cultivation within the last
thirty.ive years. But an immeasurably
greater portion still remains.
Since the great West has been opened
for settlement under the auspices of Con.

it does not follow that all trees and vege.

son? From experiments already made, 1t
appears that this valuable plant has been
plucked of its leaves for feeding worms,
not less than four or five times, without any
injury to its growth-but the leading shoots
