crops The application by drill IS conducive TO
economy of the manure, and direct application
TO The infant plant is the with bone dust.
Care, however, must be taken that 1t is notnpped
too directly to the plant, or without some portion
OF mould around it. This is the only precaution
needed to avoid danger in its use. There is one
required to prevent waste, it is of ayoatFd char
acter; that s, place it several inc csin tho earth
as the earth will absorb and retain the volatile
and valuable part. For grass lands, for similar
reasons, 1T will be well to have il mixed with con
siderable portion of ordinary unvalued mould. If
the manure, as manufactured, bo mixed with an
equal bulk OF mould, il will be perfectly safe for
application; if tho mould Of the field be stirred
over it when drilled il will suffice. Tio quantity
to be used will! vary according TO the crop, like any
other manure. Al out twenty four bushels per acre
are recommended for wheat, and half as much
more, thirty six bushels, might be beneficially
applied for turnps or mangei wurlze The most
beneficial quantities will easily be ascer,ained by
the intelligent farmer.
Mr. Hall produced sample orthe manure-a
coarse black powder, having strong SINE u some
what resembling coal tar. Samples ofthe wheat
grown by Mr. Daniel were also exhibited, and it
was stated, in reply 10 questions, that the crops
pr odnced gteater in quantity, better in quail
iiy and weight, and produced with one third the
ordinary quantity Of seed. T he manure will prod
ably be about one third the present price of bone
dust. '. lsi+.

doing nothing to earn money. Sol would some

TANNING HoRsEs.-A successful mode OF tanning
The widest horses by breathing into their nosrIls
has lately been tested by numerous experiments in
England. Mr. Catn in his Manners and Customs

tried the experiment successful buffalo calves

they would follow at the heels OF his horse as close

dams The Indians tame the wild horses in the
manner, after having caught them with the

read the above facts. He determined to try the
experiment. He did upon yearling, particular

who displayed wonders in this way They pre-
tended 10 whisper to The animal, and played with
its head, and then probably breathed into its mos

Miles Standsh, who came OUT in the May Flower,

PICTUREsQUE BEAUTY COAL MINES. The

will describe them in his own eloquent languages;
tThe most celebrated limitations Of living foliage
the painted ceilings Of Italian palaces bear no
comparison with the beautiful profusion Of extinct
vegetable forms with which the galleries of these
instructive coalmines overhung The root is
covered as with gorgeous tapestry, enriched
festoons of the most graceful foliage flung in wild,
irregular profusion every portion of lis
face. The effect is heighthened by the contrast of
the coal black color of these vegetables with the
light ground work of the rocks to which they
attached. The spectator feels transported as if by
enchantment into the forests of another world,
he beholds trees of form and character, unknown
upon the face of the earth, presented TO his
almost in the beauty and vigor Of primeval life
their scaly stems and budding branches, with their
delicate apparatus, all spread before him little
impaired by the lapse of indefinite ages, and bear
ing faithful record of distinct system of vegetation,
which began and erminated in times cf which
these relics are the nfalibe historians. Such are
:he grand natural herbaria, wherein those most
ancient remains Of the vegetable kingdom are
preserved in a Of integrity little short of their
living perfection, under conditions of our planet
which exist more.
