New York FARMERS CLUB.-At the meeting

the chair, the subject ofmanure was discussed.
Mr.. Kerr-Farm-yard manure undergoes a fer

These with the manure are spread upon the land
and ready for the vegetation to which their hab-

in this state, composted manure with one part oil
lime, three OF manure, and fifth or sixth of the
whole, loainy earth. He formed many heaps of this
compost. In fortnight afterwards, the change in
the masses was astonishing, taking dung fork and
opening the tops of the heaps thick smoke issued
from them. In four weeks time. | examined them
for insects and could not find one, even the flies
would not touch the heaps. Some heaps that had
no such treatment were moving masses of insects

vaent in the eastern section the state, especially
in the vicinity Of Easport and it also extends into
the province Of New Brunswick. We have no,

their potatoes should be careful where and how they
put them away, for they will need watching ant

ToPREsERvE GREEN CoRN.-The usual meth
cd ofpreserving green is, first to boil it, then
cut the grain from the cob by hand with sharp
knife, and spread it out to dry This is rather
tedious process; but when well done it will keep
sweet for long time, and proves a delicious dish
boiled. Recently, picking corn has been resorted
to in order to preserve it, and is said by those who
have tried it to answer WELL The ears are gath
cred green and packed down in clean, tight casks,
in brine sufficiently strong to preserve cucumbers.
The brine must cover the corn completely, 50 as to
seclude it from the air and prevent fermentation
decomposition. 1t will thus keep for long time,
and be sufficiently fresh tor the table when boiled.

PRESERVATION OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLEs.--
Who does not love good fruit and vegetables? and
yet how few take the proper pains to preserve them.
We have given many different methods in the for
mer pages of this Journal all very excellent but have
never tried the following, except in one instance Of
large quantity of sugar beet, which was forced up
on us by accident rather than design. 1t succeed
ed, however, admirably; and this emboldens us to
give place to the method, which we quote from the
Philadelphia Saturday Courier.
A gentleman from the Northern part of Indiana
recently communicated to us fact in regard to the
preservation Of apples, which will be new to many
of our readers and valuable to all farmers. He
says, that, to keep apples from autumn to June, he
places them in shallow hole, dug as for Irish po-
tatoes having covered the bottom with corn stalks
straw, and the straw with dirt to the depth of FIVE
or six inches. No shelter is placed over them. AS
soon the weather arrives, and the ground,
and perhaps.the apples themselves, become thor
oughly frozen, straw is again placed over the fro
zen heap, and the whole again covered with coat
ing of earth-this time ten or twelve inches thick.
The object is to keep the first coating of earth fro
zen until spring, and then cause it to thaw very
slowly.
Irish potatoes, beets, and carrots. Any of these
roots may be thoroughly frozen without injury, pro-
vded they then covered well over, and suffered
to thaw by slow degrees.
| Sweet potatoes are almost the only exception
among roots TO this rule. They are injured by a
small degree ofcold, and without being frozen. 1t
Is only the sudden thawing that causes the disso-
luton OF the apple potatoe that has been frozen.
fin the frozen state an Irish potatoe is put into
cold water until the frost is out, and is then cook
ed, it will be good iii had never been frozen
All these are facts which we know from our own
experience, and that of many others.-.4merican

POETRY.
LIGHT FOR ALL.

ny J. oosTfcK.
You cannot pay with money
Tho million sons Of toll
The suilor on the ocean,
The Peasant on the SOL,
The labOior in the quarry,
The hover Of the coal
Your money pays the hand,
But ii cannot pay the soul.
You gaze on the cathedral,
Whose turrets meet the skyi
Remember the foundations
That In earth and darkness lie;
For, were not those foundations
So darkly resting there,
Yon towers could never soar up
So proudly in tho air.
The workshop must be crowded
That the palace may be bright
If the poughman did not plough,
Then the poet could not write
Then lot every toll be hulowed
That man performs for man,
And have its share of honor,
As partsof one great plun.
See, light darts down from heaven,
And enters where it may;
The eyes of all eartAs people
Are checrcd with ono bright day,
And let the minds true sunshine
be spread DER earth as free,
And I'LL the souls OF men,
AS the wat'r fills the sea.
The man who turds tho soil
Need not have nm earthly mind,
The digger mid the coal
Need not be IN spirit blind:
Tho mind can shod light
On ench worthy ,Obo done,
As loWllost things are bright
In the radiauco u the sun
The tailor, ay, tho cobbler,
May lift their heads as meu-
Better far than Alexander,
Could he wake to life again,
And think of all his blOodshcd,
And all for nothing too y
And ask himself" What made !
As useful as a shoe 7"
What cheers the musing student,
The poet, the divine!
The thought that for his followers
A brighter day will shine.
Let every human laborer
Enjoy the vision bright
Let the thought that comes from heaven
Be spread like heavens own light!
We men who hold the pen,
Rise like band inspired,
And poets, let your lyrics
With hope for man he fired;
Till the eurth becomes a temple,
And every human heart
Shall Join in one great service,
Each happy in his part.
