PROSPECTUS
OF the Ohio Statesman.

AGAIN enter upon the responsible and impor-
tant trust of editor and proprietor of the Ohio
Statesman. In thus again launching into the sea
of politics, l can offer no pledge but devotion to
the great end and aim Of old and long tried demo-
cratic principles and the party, as founded by the
immortal Jefferson. To rally the sound heads and
honest hearts to one great standard of republican
truths, will be the object and ardor of my SOUL
We are defeated at various points only from a want
of harmony and action. No one can critically ex-
anime The returns OF elections for the last year and
not be convinced of this. There is nothing, then,
TO discourage democrats, but a thousand arguments
TO strengthen them to renewed life and energy
Have l the pledge of the veteran democrats-the
old and the young-of our glorious State, that they
will lend helping hand to achieve a result that
will be both honorable and full OF hope to patrio-a
tic freemen? | feel a confidence that / shall be
sustained in this resolve, by the united energies of
the,democracy of the State, SO long as | shall have
an eye single to the great principles Of pure repub-
licanism and the certaintriumphs OF the democrat
&c party. Without any further apology, then, l
fling my flag to the breeze, trusting to the noble
democracy of our State to keep it there flying.

Management of Bees,

The folio wing is an extract from q
letter, written by a gentleman in Ten
nessee, to the C%ultipator, which seems
to contain valuable information, on the
manner Of preventing the ravages OF
the Bee Moth:
"When commenced keeping house,
| purchased a few stands of bees, and
the moth destroyed them all the first
year. Upon examination / found that
the moth deposited its eggs in a web
between the bench and the box: and as
soon as thew Matched, they crawled up
to the comb, and formed a web under
the edges. concluded to drive a ten
penny nail under each corner of the
hive, and let it rest upon them, SO that
the bees could pass under all around.
Since ! adopted this plan, which has
been twelve years, | have not as | rec
Object, been troubled with a single bee
moth"
ANornER.--The remedy is simple
and easily applied. 1t consists merely
in covering the hoor-board on which
the hive stands, with comon earth about
an inch thick. A hive set on earth
will never be infested with worms, for
the bee moth will not deposite her eggs
where the earth will come in contact.
The remedy has been employed by a
number Of persons in this vicinity for
several years, with the most complete
success.

To cure the measles in Swine.

The existence of this disease can on.
ly be known by the animal not thriving
or fatening like the rest. Put into the
food Of each hog, once or twice a week,
as much crude pounded untimony as
will lie on a shilling.--This is very
proper for any feeding swine though
they have no disorder. A small guam.
tity of the flour of birthstone will be
found Of great service, if occasionally
given to swine. But the best way is
to prevent disease, by keeping their
sites clean and dry, and to allow them
air, exercise, and plenty of clean straw.

Modes Of Preserving Butter.

In all that has been written on thi
subject in this country we have seen nc
recommendation to melt and strain it
Yet there can be no doubt that this pro
cess proves effectual. We have often
told u readers that thorough working
is necessary to exclude the buttermilk,
and leave the butter pure. W. have
told them that it has been kept sweet
Tor years without a particle of salt by
separating entirely the impurities that
are found on churning the cream. But
this is not always an easy NATTER
Washing with pure water is the best
method that we have practised in this
country.
We have often asked the question
why we should not boil the butter that
W. propose to keep, as we boil the fat
of a hog for lard, and fat cattle and
sheep for ta'low.
1t is well known that lard and tallow
will keep sweet for a year without salt.
And who can doubt hat butter may be
kept as long? On examining a recent
publication, which we noticed in one
Of the late numbers of the Ploughman
son the food of animals, by Robert
ID. Thompson, of Glasgow"--we find
the following remarks:
"MoDE OF PRESERVING BUTTER FRESH.
The cause of the tainting Of fresh
butter depends upon the presence Of the
small quantity of curd and water as ex-
hibited by the proceeding analysis
To render butter capable of being kept
for any length of time in a fresh con-
dltion, that is, as pure solid oil, all that
is necessary is to boil it in a pan until
the water is removed, whichis marked
by the cessation efviolent ebulution.-
BY allowing the liquid oil to stand for
q little while the curd subsidies, and the
oil may then be poured out, or it may
be strained through calico or muslin,
into a bottle, and corked up. When
it is to be used it may be gently heat
ed and poured out of the bottle, or cut
outby means OF a knife or cheese-gouge.
This is the usual method Of preserving |
butter in India, (gheeJ and also on the
Continent; and it is rather remarkable
that it is not in general use in this coun-
try. Bottled butter will thus keep for
any length of time, and is the best form
Of this substance to use for sauces."
To our own taste melted butter is
more agreeable than any that has been
long kept in irkins, unmelted. And
fro wry. butter is rendered more palata-
Bile by melting at the time OF using it.
Why not melt it before it changes

Important to Gardners,

The Boston Cu%ltivator says that a
Yankee has invented a method ofkeep-
ing hens from scratching in gardens
The plan is to tie together two of the
toes Of one foot. The hen cannot
scrach with the tied foot, and she can-
not stand on that foot alone to scrach
with the other.

Devoted to the promotion Of agriculture; Horfi-

Published at Columbus, Ohio, on the LIST and

subscriptions may be sent by mail at the risk and

The Cultivator has now become so well known
to the farmers and friends of agriculture IN Ohio,
that nothing need be said of its character or de-
sign. Its pages will continue to diftnse lntelli-
gence of the utmost practical importance to farm
ers, and all who are concerned in the cultivation
of the soil and the mind. 1t viii contain the latest
and most reliable intelligence respecting the crops
and the markets, both in this country and in Eu-
rope, so as to aid the farmer in deciding at what
time and price to dispose of his productions. This
information alone will be worth, to most farmers,
many times the price of subscription, especially
now that the prices are so much affected BY for
eign intelligence.
The influence ofthe paper, wherever il has been
generally read, is admitted to have been highly
salutary. 1t has begun to awaken aspirit of inqui-
ry and improvement among the farmers, and TO
inspire them with more Just and elevated concep-
tons of the character, duties and pleasures of their
noble occupation. As evidence of this, it may be
stated, that during the past year, Agricultural
have been organized in twenty counties
of this State; and there is reason to believe that as
many more will be formed during the year to come

Rub spirits of turpentine on the breast
