designed to create a government whose
functions should be adequate to the pro,cc-

States. That in strict accordance with this
object, the revenues derived from commerce
were surrendered TO the general Govern

they should be applied TO the promotion Of
those common interests.

steel to STEEL was invented by Stephen,
not James Bowie as is frequently stated.
He considered, apparently with justice, too,
that in close fighting, a much shorter wea-
pom than the sword ordinarily now in use,
but still heavy enough to give it sufficient
force, and, at the same time, contrive to cut
and thrust, would be far more preferable and
advantageous to the wearcr. He according

length of about two inches, is ground into

though not in Ceiling rid of it. Some

agricultural.
CoRN:

The only advantage in ploughing corr
at all, is TO destroy the grass and keef
the ground loose, so that the roots may
easily find their way through it. 1t is
obvious that the plant cannot be bene-
fitted by destroying the sources OF It's
sustenance. The injury from breaking
the roots of plant may, however, be
counterbalanced by the loosening of the
soil. But every farmer should be care
full not to break the roots of his corn too
often-if he does, he impedes the
growth, and sometimes seriously Injuries
his crop. The best farmers in this dis
trict never plough their corn more than
once. They break up the ground eff
fectually in the spring and plant in ridg-
es. AS soon as the grass begins 10 make
its appearance, they run harrow twice
in each row. This tears the grass to
pieces and throws the clods in the mid
die furrow. They next run bull.
tongue on each side of the corn. This
Sits the ground when the young roots
are forming and exposes them in some
measure, to the warmth of the sun. The
middle of the row is not touched. The
next time they give the ground good
ploughng, and if it requires any further
work they do it with the harrow. By
this system of culture, more than one
third of labor ordinarily bestowed on the
crop is saved, and better crop is the
product,-Emporium.

MANURING.

Let no one say his resources will not
permit him to manure his lands. Every
farmer can make enough in the course
OF the year, to manure one third of his
land into cultivation. Let him scatter
litter in his stables, his horse lots, his
cow pens and his hog pens. When
this has been sufficiently tramped and
saturated with manure, it should be re.
moved and placed in heaps, protected
from rain and sun. If permitted to re-
main exposed TO the weather, in an open
lot, its strength will be absorbed by the
earth and carried off by the aimos.
phere.
There is much to be considered too in
the application of manures. This should
always be in drills. The advantages are
that one-fourth will be sufficient, and
you can plant the second year on the
same ridge. When manures are applied
broadcast, they do comparatively little
good, and are much sooner exhausted.

quicker than oil paint and has no SMELL
1t is made in the following Manner
Take fresh curds and bruise the Jumps
on a grinding stone, or in an earthern
pan or mortar, with spatula. or strong
spoon. Then put them into a pot with
an equal quantity of lime, well Stacked
with water, TO make it just thick enough
to be kneaded. Stir this mixture with
out adding more water, and white flu
id will soon be obtained, which will
serve as paint. 1t may be laid on with
a brush with as much ease as varnish,
and it dries very speedily. 1t must,
however, be used the same day it is
made, for if kept till next day it will be
too thick consequently no more must
be mixed up at one time than can be
laid on in day. If any color be re-
CURED, any of the ochres, as yellow
ochre or red ochre, or lumber, may be
mixed with it in any proportion. Prus-
sian blue would be changed by the lime.
Two coats of this paint will be sufii-
cient, and when quite dry it may be
polished with piece of wooden cloth,
or similar substance, and it will become
as bright as varnish. 1t will only do
for inside work but it will last longer if
over with white of egg after
it has been polished"
