MANFRED and wceded, produced 81 bushels per acre.
This experiment proves that oats require good man
agemcn and VIII pay for II, rs well as other crops.
Ten bushels of the increased produce may BE- fally
attributed to the wedding, and the other ten to the
manure"
1t is admitted that the labor and expense
of wedding crop, is considerable; but if lae
difference be such as is here stated, and there
is no reason to doubt it, as it is abundantly
corroboratcd by other experiments, then it
should be more generally and promptly at
tended to than it is. II your farmers could
raise 1-2 bushels Of wheat, Is of barley
or 10 of oats, additional to their usual cror
per acre, the effect would at once be felt in
every department Of labor in our country
No one can travel through our country be-
fore harvest time, without being convinced
that millions of acres might have their pro.
ducts increased in as great a ratio as the abov,
by entire freedom from weeds. Farmer
would gratilicd could they have their land
tax free but experience shows, that to hav
them wecd free, would be far greater i'm
portancc to them.

To prerent the taste Of turnips in butter.
Ono or your correspondents wants to know
how to prevent the taste of turnips in the
butter from cows fed on these roots, and hav.
ing had some experience in the matter, will
give you an answer to the inquiry.
In some of the best districts in England,
the taste Of the cream and butter is affected
by the manure used on the pastures. and tho
following means are adopted to prevent it
The first method is almost universally prac-
ticed on the milk and cream brought into the
London market. 1t is this : Dissolve an
ounce Of nitre (saltpetre) in pint of pure
water, and put a quarter of the pint into ev-
cry fifteen gallons of milk as brought from
the cows. This will eficctually prevent any
bod flavor, and cause the milk and cream to
keep sweet longer time. The quantity Of
nitro is so very small, that it does not al all
affect the wholesomeness of the milk.
I'd Wethod-Let the cream get well sour;
and before churning, take out quarter of Il
pint of the cream and put it into well seal
ded pot or jar, into which gather the next
cream, and stir it well; do the same with each
successive gathering, until enough is saved
and well sourcd, ready for second churniny
then take out small quantity and commence
anew as before.
The cream being sour before churninc, is
no deriment to it, and this method will pro-
vent any bad taste in the butter.
Yours, W.R

Thunder storms are generally more severe
on the banks of rivers than at di,tancc-yct
we believe that steamboats,, although con
tanning vast amount Of iron and other kinds
Of metal, are seldom struck by lightning.
We do not rccollcct single casc-althougll
it is likely that some instances are on record
Why are they less likely to be struck by the
electric fluid, than sailing ships on the ocean
which appears to be the fact We pause for
reply.-Nercaatiic Journal.
The explanation is easy. All the iron
about steamboat operates as a conductor,
or set of conductors, and draws of the cleo
trio fluid silently from the surrounding at
mosphcre. If single rod will ordinarily
protect dwelling from lightning, how much
more should a hundred tons of iron, extend
ing upward many feet above the promenade
deck, and downward to whiting few inches
of the water, protect steamboat! 1t would
be- miracle, almost, if a steamboat should
be struck by lightning, under such circum-
stance. Yet we recollect reading, IS or ~
years ago, ola young woman being killed
by lightning on board a steamboat on the
Mississippi. No other instance of the kind
ever came to our knowledge.-N. Y. Jour-

Mr. Hill, veterinary surgeon, who has
charge of Mr.. Rhodes London Dairy Of
about 700 cows, has given, in the Veterlna-
ran, some account of the disease as ii APP
pcarcd among those animals. In the first at

In the progress of the epidemic, the feet
were attacked in a manner much like that
OF the hooi all, at times so prevalent IN somo
parts of this country. Mr.. Hill says -
"Thc grivanco now lay in the foot and particular.

Out of more than 800 attacked, not an
animal was lost; and what still more lkens
the disease to our hoof all, out of the whole
number, SIX only had the disease in the
fore feet. Mr.. Hill remarks, that the COM
mcncement of the disease is hardly to be mis-
taken; that the pain the animal suffers is
manifested by holding up and shaking the
foot attacked The digestive organs did no,
appear to be affected in most cases. Where
the aid was not prompt, the hoofs and fee,
bones came off and the animals persisted mis-
crably. In many Of the cows garget showed
itself in the udders, accompanied with SWELL
ing, Inflammation, and great reduction in
the quantity of the milk. The last Nos. OF

of the epidemic, over nearly the whole king

INJURIOUS EFFECTS OF WEEDS.

The question has been asked, how it was
possible for China and Japan, with the ordina-
ry products of agriculture, to furnish bread for
population, cqualing, according to the lat
est census, about 800 persons to square
mile. The answer is to be found in the care
with which every foot of ground is cultivated;
in the fact that few animals are kept, either
for labor or food and more perhaps than
any thing else, in the entire freedom of the
crops from every thing that can reduce their
quantity or quality. Not weed of any kind
is to be found in the fields, and the most pos
tive cnactmcnts, and most assiduous attcn-
tons are directed to keeping the country free
from them.
Few are aware how much weeds, or gras-
ses, growing in grain crop, detract from
its value, by lessening the product. A Wig
orous root of charlock or thistle will draw
from the earth the nutriment that would have
given tullness to half a dozen ears of wheat
and where these, or any other foreign sub
stance is permitted in growing crop, tina,
is sure to suffer in proportion to the quantity
of the foul material present. Weeds inurc
a crop in two ways; by the room they occupy
to the exclusion ofthc valuable plants, and
by the nutrmcnt of which they rob the grow
ing crop. We have seen fields in which the
wheat maintained a dubious struggle with the
red root, chaock, or thistle; and where the
stem and the ear both showed how much the,
needed to be relieved from such crowdinc
and unwelcomc neighbors. On the hes,
cultivated farms of England or Belgium, no
a plant or weed ofany description can tt
found in a growing crop; and in some year,
the Earl Of Leicester has offered a reward
but without success, for the smallest or an,
weed that could be found in hundreds o
acres Of his turneps, or his wheat.
In this country, but few experiments hav,
been made to show the difference of produce
between clean and foul fields, but several ar,
recorded in Sinclar's Code of Agriculture
some of which we shall give, to call the at
tention of farmers to this point, and show
that the labor expended in clearing fields OF
crops from weeds, is far from being lost, a.
many would seem, from their negligence il
the matter, to suppose.

faowed, and sown broad cast one acre was mea

Avoid all rough usage. Do not hold up
the body 3y the feet, nor roll it on casks or

tobacco. Lose not a m0ment in carrying
the body to the nearest house, with the head
and shoulders raised. Place it in warm
room if the weather is cold. Preserve ST.

three intelligent persons. Let the body be
instantly stripped, dried, and wrapped in
hot blankets, which arc to be frequently re-
ncwed. Keep the mouth, nosrls and
throat, free and clean. Apply warm SUBJ
stances to the back, spine, pit Of the stomach,
arm-pits and solcs of the feet. Rub the
body with heated flannel, or cotton, or warm
hands. Attempt to restore breathing by
