dennis the use Of the same mill for grinding
both plaster and cobs, as without great pre-
caution, the plaster will be mixed with the
cob meal, and produce dangerous connections
in the intestnes of the animal eating il. In
some parts of the country common pair o E
millstones are used, the opening in the upper
being made larger than usual, and the stones
being mere bosomed out, or made to fit less
close in the inner part, than when used for
grain. 1t is believed that corn in the cob
mightbe broken sufficiently fine in common
iron bark mill, to admit being ground in or
binary mllstones without difficulty. We
should think that in any district where Indian
corn is extensively grown, a miller would
find it for his interest to attach cob cracker
to his machinery, as we are confident the
farmers would find themselves well repaid by
the great saving and superiority of the meal
SO made, for feeding.

AAIIE OLE SIIES

Professor Jackson, in one of his lectures
in Boston, in illustrating the manner in
which soils might be rendered fertile, said
that-'a farm within his knowledge, which,
was blowing sand, pine barren, and almost
hopeless, on which ten bushels of corn tc the
acre could scarcely be grown, by the judici-
Gus application Of ashes, had been made to
produce forty or fifty bushels to the acre."
We do not question the correctness of DR..
Jackson's statements. Our observation has
convinced us that on sandy soils, with the OK.
ceptlon of clay mari, there is nothing more
beneficial in the application to such soils,
than ashes; and very fortunately, unless I'M
common quantities of acid exist in such soils
leached ashes are nearly as beneficial as UNI
leached ones. Ashes do what lime cannot
they render the soil more tenacious of mois-
tnrc, and although their action is not as
prompt or efficient on cold sour soils, thew
arc tor the reason assigned, considered as
valuable on light sandy ones. OF this fact
the farmers on the light soils of Long Island
and Ncw-JcrSey, are well aware, and in the
gathering and application of ashes, find
certain source of profit

MOTHERS be CHEERFUL.-Not in studies
above their years, or in irksome tasks, should
children be employed. The INCONSISTENCIES of
their young natures should be preserved while
they learn the duties that fit them for this life
and the next. Wipe away their tears. Re.
member how hurtful are the heavy rains to the
tender blossom just opening on the day.
Cherish their smiles. Let them learn to draw
happiness from all surrounding objects--since
there must be some mixture of happiness in
every thing but sin. II was once said of q
beautiful woman, that, from her childhood, she
had ever spoken smiling, as if the heart poured
joy from the lips, and they turned it into beauty

royalty Of virtue," saba correct moralst. How
much is it to be deprecated, when piety, the
only foundation oftruc happiness, fails of making
that joy visible to every eye Its happiness i.

of the whole being with the will of our Creator
how desir able that this melody should produce

tenance, that even slight observers may be wol

THE BIBLE.

We do not know where there is SO good a
description of the Bible, in so small compass,
as is to be found in the article below from the
| Hartford Courier
A nation must be truly blessed, if it were
governed by no other laws than those of this
blessed book: it is so complete system that
nothing can be added or taken from it it con-
tains every thing needful to be known or done
it affords copy for king, and rule for a
| subject; it gives instruction and counsel to a
senate, authority and direction to magistrate
| It cautions witness, requires an impartial YER
diet OF jury, and furnishes Judge with his
sentence; it sets the husband as lord of the
household, and the wife as mistress of the table
tells him how to rule and her how to manage
itenlalls honor to parents, and enjoins obedience
| upon children; it prescribes and limits the
sway of soverelgns, the rule of the ruler, and
authority of the master; commands the subjects
to honor, and the servants to obey and promises
the protection OF its author to all who walk by
its rules. 1t gives directions for weddings and
for burlals; it promises food and raiment, and
limits the use OF both; it points out faithful
and eternal guardian to the departing husband
and father; tells him with whom to leave his
iatherless cildren, and in whom his widow is to
trust and promises a father to the former and a
| husband to the latter. 1t teaches a man how
he ought to set his house in order, and how to
make his will; it appoints dowery for the wife,
and entails right of the first born; and shows
how the younger branches shall be left. 1t de-
tends the right Of all, and reveals vengeance
to the defrauder, over-reacher and oppressor.
It is the first book and the Oldest book in the
world. It contains the choicest matter, gives
the best instruction, and affords the greatest
pleasure and satisfaction that ever were reveal
ed. 1t contains the best laws and profoundest
mysteries that ever were penned. It brings
the best tdngs, and affords the best of comforts
to the enquirer and disconsolate. 1t exhibits

PEI AT AS A MANURE.

Peat, it is well known, is vegetable sub
stance produced by successive growths and
decay OF sphagnecns or messy plants, with
slight intermixturc of other vegetable and
earthly matter. 1t has formerly been con-
sidered worthless as manure, as notwith-
standing its nearly pure vegetable nature, its
application injured instead of bcncft,inc
land, rendering it apparently more wet and
cold, and aiding the growth of nothing but
sorrel. Science, has however, at last been
brought to act upon it, and it is found that its
great detect is the large quantity of acid it con-
tans, and that by neutraling this, by the adj
ditlon OF some alkali, it becomes a valuable
manure. Various methods have been adop-
ted for doing this. By making a compos,
heap OF three parts of peat and one part of
stable, slight fermentation is produced, by
which the acid is corrected, and decomposi..
ton effected. "By mixing it with lime and
animal matter or manure, ammoniacal gas IS
evolved, which dissolves the peat and con-
verts II into powerful manure" In Rhode
Island, considerable quantities of manure are
made by mixing the fish called manhaden, Of
which large numbers are taken in the bays,
with peat or swamp mud, in the proportion
OF one load of fish to ten cart loads of peat
or mud. DIR. Jackson says the rotting of tho
fish decomposes the peat, and this absorbs
the gases from the decaying fish, converting
the mass into an active manure, in some ca
SEES increasing the crops to which it is applied,
fifty per cent. In short, the farmer who has
apcat bog on his farm, may consider himself
as IN possession of invaluable source Of
first rate manure.

COOKED AND UNCOOKED FOOD.

There is in the Maryland Agricultural Re-
ports, record of an experiment of this
kind conclusive in favor of the cooked food
though from some cause, the gain in either
case was not such us ought to take place when
hogs are we'll fed. This defect was proba-
bly, owing to the breed, as it is well known
that some breeds take on flesh with more
than double the rapidity of others. We
give in a condensed form, the substance Of
the Report.
On the first day of December four shoat.
of the same breed and nearly of the same
size were selected from lot of 90 hogs:
two of which, weighing 1856 pounds, were
put by themselves, and "were fed on one
gallon of shellcd Indian corn, weighing sew
Ell pounds, to each, for every "a hours, and
as much water as they wanted" This was
full supply, and though not always all con-
sumed, was generally so. "For the two pigs
whose weight together made 173 pounds,
seven pounds of good indian corn meal, by
measure ten pints, were made into good mush
or hasty pudding, and divided between them,
for every If hours" Thus the last had ex.
actly half the the amount of corn given them
the first received The cooking was done
daily, and took an hour and IA half. The seven
pounds, or ten pints when made into pudding
"weIghed an average Of thirty pounds, and
measured three gallons" The evening feed
ofmush was usually warm, that Of The morning
cold. Between the two pigs fed on cooked
food, there was a difference Of nine pounds,
and while the allowance of fifteen pounds to
the smallest was as much as he could eat, the
other was always greedy and sharp set.
Before being killed, Oh tie 4tl of January
they were all again weighed; and those that
had been fed on the corn, were found to
have gained, one five pounds and the other
twenty, on the same day allowance of which
was II pounds meal each, the greedy one
had gained % pounds and the other II
pounds. This is no great gain to be sure,
but then in connection with other expert
ments of the kind, it gives rise to the impor-
tant Observation-Disclosures when so much corn
is annually fed to hogs, if saving of one
half can be made by cooking it, is not well
worthy the attention of farmers to adopt
such mode, and provide proper appara-

LAST HOURS OF MOSES.

Serene on Pisgah's rifted crest,
The holy prophet stood;
Though human foot had never traced
That awful solitude:
Hence at his masters high command,
He gazcd upon the promised land,
In boundless gratitude.
o! was scene surprising fair
Heavens prodlgality was there.
Wandering streams and mountain rills
Adown their channels dashed;
The sun, upon the palmy hills,
In noontide glory flashed;
And perfume floated on the gale,
And roses Flowed in every vale
BY balmy dew-drops washed
And fountains md the vineyards pushed,
And grapes in rich profision blushed.
The Jordan, from its mountain source,
In glory rolled along,
Dittuslng gladness in its course,
A thousand wales among;
While, from the groves on either side,
The beateous birds, in plumed pride,
Did pour celestial song;
The fishes, in the solar beam,
L.eaped, jocund, in their native stream.
The focks on Carmel's howcry side;
The herds on Sharon's vale;
The olive, spreading far and wide
In Baca's sun-bright vale
The pomegranate, in blossoms rich,-
The flo, the citron and the peach,
In wild luxuriance swell;
The nectarinc in beauty glowed-
The land with milk and honey flowed!
Yet what avails that gorgeous view;
Streams, meads, and mountains high,
Flocks, herds, and fruits of every hue,
And flowers of every dye7
What boots the gores of the land,
When with prophetic eye he scann'd
The dark futurityl
a people stepped in crime and blood,
And traitor to their Klng-thcr God.
He saw old Balaam's affairs blaze
On mountains yet untrod
Heard Israeps thousands offer praise
To demons-not 10 God t.
He saw, as with the llghtning's speed,
A host of human victims bleed
On Bethers halowed sod
Nay, cen the Lords most holy fame
Reeked with the life blood of the slain!
The vision changed-the work is done
He saw with raptured eye,
The adven, Of the glorious ONE,
Clothed in humanity
The Mighty God-the great AM,
In lowly meekness, as a lamb,
Doomed for the world to die
Anon his spirit SCARED to Him,
Upon the wings of cherublm !

Oh, what is the PAST
But dc.oatc shrine,
Ger whose ruins the night shade
And hemlock entwine;
Where the wreaths which they weave
Are all wet with the tears
Pale Memory wecps
Der the tombs of past years
Round the 20, tails some stray
Wlthered flowers may be seen,
And few sunny Spots
With their verdure still green;
But alas from the dark,
Dreary, desolate halls,
No echo replies
To the pilgrim who calls!

Where the weed grows as fast
As the flower by its side.

An exquisite sphere
