stereotyped edition. There have been several
stimulated Books of Jasher, notice Of which
we find in the Rev. Mr.. Horns Commentaries
on the Study of the Scriptures; bnt they bear no
analogy TO the present work, which is written in
the purest Hebrew, and translated with an ele.

Carrots are rich esculent for family use:
they impair fine flavor to various kinds of soup
they are good with fresh and preserved meats
boiled or roasted, as is the common beet, turnip,
or parsnip; and they make as good pie as the
pumpkin or squash. The ingenious practical far
mer couldundoubtedly raise carrots with MS much
facility as he can the ruta baga. They must
be sown in ridges or rows from one to two feet
apart. 1t would, perhaps be preferable that the
sows, especially if they shall not much exceed a
foot apart, should run north and south, that the
ground may have the advantage Of the sun. The

commenting the decoction of tobacco for the
destruction of ticks upon sheep, but instead OF
This application, I should prefer the smoke Of
the tobacco. This can he used at any season
when sheep are discovered to be infested with
these troublesome vermin. The operation is
easily performed by means of simple appara'
tus found probably, in the kitchen Of every far
mer viz: small skillet and hand bellows. A
few live Goals are first put into the skillet, and
then few leaves Of tobacco which soon ignite.
The capper side of the bellows is then placed
on the skillet and in this position it is held by
one of it's h andes, together with the handle OF
other hand being at liberty to fly the handle of
the bellows While one individual holds the

close it around :he nose OF the bellows, the

any that have seen published, not only on ac-

in the name of ST. George can it be expected
that a COW fed upon dry hay, fodder or tops
from November till April, can secrete any con-
siderable quantity of milk; we know that there
is a large quantity OF nutritive matter in each of
