81 Can't Spare Time.o

The four words with which we head
this article, in the effects which they
have produced, have been the cause Of
great deal of mischief and have kept
many from embarking manfuly in the
work Of storing up intellectual mca-
sureS. When young man is urged to
commence at once the work Of study !;
he turns and lets fall the four simple
words 81 can't spare time and thinks
he has given a sufficient excuse, from
further attention on the subject.
There are many mechanics, too,
who instead of doing their part towards
the cultivation Of their own minds, and
throwing their influence and talent in.
to the general stock for the improve
ment of an association, satisfy thcm-
selves with the observation, and per-
haps really think "they can't spare
time" The excuse is a very handy
one, and has passed current too long,
for in ma jorily of cases there is nci>
ther sense nor truth in it. In the first
place it need not occupy great portion
Of time, for by proper management, a
larger share of invaluable information
may be obtained in a short time of
this any man may be convinced by try
ing the experiment.
There is time enough lost and was>
ted in the pursuit of what men call plea
sure, which if properly appropriated,
would place them in high state of cuI-
tivation. Time can be found TO ride
and dance, and Sing-timc can be found
to lounge and talk nonsense, but alas
how many think "thcy can't spare
tme," to attend TO the noblest and best
part of their nature; that which alone
elevates and causes them 10 feel the di-
vinity wilhin."-[ Exchange.

Canal Steam Tug
ger.

Daring the past week (says the Alba
ny Jour.) "Leavenworth's Canal Steam
Tugger" has been in operation upon
the Erie Canal in this vicinity, using
neither paddle, screw OF submerged wa
ter wheels, but is propelled by means of
a rotary anchor. The machinery is
put into Lake Boat OF the largest class,
the engine, &c. occupying the forward
cabin only. When propelled at the
speed of seven miles an hour, although
so large a boat, and drawing two feet,
six inches of wafer, she causes no surge
to injure the banks of the canal,
She has taken two heavy loaded boats
of more than ore hundred tons freight,
over five miles an hour, and with two
thirds Of ner power took three scows
and two lake boats, with two hundred
and Gity tons freight, four miles an hour,
and is capable of taking eight boats
with four hundred tons freight four miles
in an hour, upon the enlarged canal,
without extra eyertion. By this mes
thod train Of boats may be towed for
less than half the expenses of towing
with horses. She passes The locks with
out the least difficulty, and has no cons
nec,ion with she towpath.

From The Ntw Genessee Fdrmtr,
Hints for tho Month.


The past months have been devoted
chiefly 10 the production,-the present
must be TO the preservation of crops.
Corn should be suffered to stand in
the shock, until it has become fully RI
pened by nourishment from the stock
but not later, as husking with cold fin
gers is unpleasant. Let it be placed
where it will be well exposed to the air
as the quality of corn, both for domestic
consumption and for feeding animals,
is greatly injured by modiness, even of
the cob only, though it may appear per-
fectly sound. For the same reason,
care should be taken that shocks Of corn
standing on low ground, are not inju-
red by wet weather.
Potatoes after, digging, should be ex-
posed to the sun. They lose their fine
quality, and acquire more or less Bit
terness, when kept in cellars exposed
to the light merely. Those for imme-
date domestic use, should be kept in
barrels, and the rest either in large
bins lined and covered with turf, or
mixed with earth in barrels or hogs
heads, or else buried in heaps in the o.
pen air. But ventilation is necessary.
A hole should be made with n stick or
crowbar in the upper part of every po-
tatoe heap, and continued Opcn until
the severest weather sets in; for want
of this, thousands of bushels are lost
yearly, and Tie loss attributed to frost
only.
Apples, and all root crops, need the
same care. hut turnips more especially.
which will inevitably be ruined unless
the heated air from the heap can pass
off.
Mangel wurtzc and sugar beets
should be completely secured at the end
Of the month, and rulabagas not much
later, if The danger Of loss by freezing
is to be avoided.
Winter apples should be gathered
before the arrival of severe frost, till
near the end OF the month, they should
be carefully picked by hand by means
of convenient ladders, and should not
be suffered TO become in the least de-
gree bruised until they are well packed.
As an easy, cheap, neat and excellent
mode, we recommend packing with
chaff' and lime barrels, adopted by w.
F. Shotwcll, and described in our last
volume.
Now is the season for planting trees,
remember, now is as easy as next year,
or the next, and they will be growing
all the while, put of other work bat not
this. Shade trees give almost the
| whole expression 10 n country or town.
If the work is done in autumn, and well
done, the earth will become properly
settled about the roots, and they will
have nothing to do in the spring. but 10
grow; but removed then, greater or
less check must inevitably be given to
them.
To have ground early in GOOD order Tor
cron' next spring, plough your ground this fl, aud
le be lsel to the action of the frost ihrougk
the winter.
Prepare cattle yard, for the manufacture Of ma
nure on large sc lie as pracucable- provide plenty
of straw for htter--rememler, pile rty-aud that Is
er. at deal; and if possible, cart on your manure
yards large quantity of swamp muck; or il that
canno, Re hal, simple earth, to m with the other
manure. The labor will be well repaid.
