DRAG.LOG OR ROLLER.

In the February number Ol the Farmers
Register, the following method Of con
slructiOg this useful instrument is given
by James M, Garnett, Esquire; President
ofthe Fredericksburg Agricultural Socie,
ty:
Take straight log, of any kind Of
wood most convenient, e or I feet long,
and about IS or 20 inches in diameter,
az or "a would probably be still betler,)
at both ends, then split and Hollow oul
one Of the halves, until you get it suifi-
cienlly light. After this fix two strong
bars across the log, and moriice them i'd
to another piece Of the same SIZE, parallel
10 the log and nearly ofthe sameIeOgth, 10
which the horses, mules, and oxen are at.
tached, as to the cross bar of a roller.
The superiority Of This very simple and
cheap contrivance, Qor the merest cObler
can make it) over any implement yet used
for Pulverizing pIotghed land, none can
easily conceive who have not seen 1t trl-
ed. II is ceftalnIy true that the same
team will draw a roller Of lie same
weight With more ease, but The latter
does the work so much more effectual =
Iy, as greatly 10 overbalance the differ
ence."
The greater the diameter OF the log,
The more easily it Is drawn, provided the
weight remains The sameI because II will
theU pass readily over without sCtapIng
up the earth before it. We would recon
mend therefore. that it be made Of the
lighle6t wood; that considerable more
than one half of the upper part Of The log
be split off, and that il then be FOLLOWED
out in the form Ofa trough until Of sufli
cIent lighlness. In this way any desired
size may be adopted.
Ii is to be observed that this Is ohlv in
tended to supply the place Of the common
roller, wien puIverization IS the object
hence it is peculiarly adapted 10 reducing
cIoddy ground. Il is an excellent smooth
er or PreParer Of ground for g'ass seed
which is to be put in Gne and light har-
row. Itis also orgreat Utility when aPPI
ed 10 the top of newly turied green swarc
pressing down the sod and grinding the
surface Of the soil to powder. 1t Is scarce
Iy necessary 10 say that when Used, the
soil should never be wet. This useEd
implement Has been already noticed by
one OF our correspondents, (vOI s P. 92,,
but we have considered it Of such value tc
all who cilll4ate heavy soils, as to de
serve again to be recommended to their
attention.

STEAM ENGINES.

.Anoiher UQlud6Le Intention. The
publication of the statement id the let
ter of our Washington correspondent,
that OUR codntryrian Perkins had in
vented a steam boiler which cannot
e:tpLOde, has made Us acquainted with
lhe fact OF the invention in Massa
chusetts; last y ear, Of somewhat Siml
lar boiler, which, it is supposed, will
subersede all others now in use In the
United States. A friend in New
York, on reading ;he letter OF our cor
respondent, has called our attention to
the invention now spoken OF, ard says
that it is every where received at the
east with great appreciation. Like
Perkins, il cannot explode, but It's
other advantages are; that it does moi
take up half The room ordinarily re-
duired, and that it is adapted for any
kind Of fuel. Forty or Fifty have been
in use during the last year, in both
hard and soft water, and have proved
that a saving in fuel Of forty per cent
may be effected. Gentlemen OF the
highest scientific atlsinmenls at the
east have given it their unqualified
dpbrOvaI, and its use for the state oi
New YorE,, hiss recently been sold for
magnificent sum; The name Of ! the !!
inve1lOr is John GOuldins, Of BOS
ton.
These statements are made or thi
authority Of our friend in New York,
who further says that the proprietor
will visit The western country short
| ly: and we will only add, that il they
be accurate, we ardently hope he WI
make his visit as speedily as possible
