Tin Watts for Cheese.

A correspondent of the Prairie Far
mer describes the tin watts which are
used BY the Herkimer cheese makers in
this State with so much success as fol-
lows One for a dairy of 80 COWS is
2 l-2 #. wide, 6 #. long and ~ inches
deep set inside wooden vat, so as to
leave space of 2 inches between them,
that the tin vat may be surrounded with
water. The night milk is strained into
the tin vat, which, surrounded with cold
water, is kept till morning. After the
morning milk is added, the water is
heated by a steam pipe to about "a de-
degrees by the thermometer. Rennet
is applied, and the resulting curd scald-
ed the same way, at i04 degrees. The
whey is then drawn by plug. One
farmer, who has TO cows, finds it about
as easy to make cheese from them,
weighing one hundred and fifty to two
hundred and twenty pounds,) as from a
dozen cows by the old process.-.4lbany

Experiment with the Potatoe.

Our veteran friend, Judge Ford of
! Morristow1, N. j., informs US that he
Z, planted in his garden on the Sd Of May
last, without any manure, rs Mercer po-
tatoes, apparently sound and that on
the 9th of the same month, some of
them had thrown up shoots an inch a
bove the ground. The tubers, produc-
itg them, were carefully taken up, from
which 60 sprouts were plucked, and
then restored to their bed, in order to
produce more. These sprouts were
planted upright, with their tops half an
inch below the surface, in conical hills
or mounds of earth, a foot high, one TO
each hill, three feet apart, and contain
ing no manure.
On the Sd of June, 60 sprouts more
were taken off and planted iu another
row, three feet distant from the other
named above, and treated in every res
pect the same, the tubers which pro-
. duced them being returned again to
their bed, where, without further care,
they were suffered to grow. The result,
was, that the old tubers produced a
+, great number of exceeding small ones,
each of which. was half destroyed with
putridity and rot; whereas, not one of
those grown from sprouts had the slight
. est sign of disease at the time of dig
.ging them, on the 23d of September,
=. and had not shown any up to the mid
die of February. No hill gave more
than one potatoe of the size of a goose
egg; but considerable number OF them
were quite too small for the table.
Two other rows were also planted
with MERGERS, from the same parcel of
seed, within the distance of20 feet from
those described above; and before their
young tubers had acquired half the size
of a hens egg, in spite of the application
of lime and fine. charcoal, and the cut
ting off of their tops, they became infect
ed with the. disease, and fourth part of
them had to be thrown away.
The treatment Of the sprouts, Judge
Ford thinks, was improper in the fol-
lowing respects IL. Only one solitary
shoot was set in HILL instead of four.
2. The mounds were SO elevated, that,
by shedding off the rain and dew, their
sides were exposed both TO the influen.
ces of the sun and wind, and conse.
quently became too dry to nourish the
plants. 3. If there was no disease il
the sprouts, as he -supposes there wa
not, liberal dressing of manure nigh
have been applied TO the ground, ant
likewise in the hill, and large yield O
sound potatoes, he thinks, would hav
been raised.-fb.

Tanning Horses

The tanning of horses by breathing in

Mr.. David Clayton, of Tyrrcll county,

BILE succeeded in breathing several time.

the mule became gentle, and would
stand and suffer himself to be rubbed
and would nose and smell around him
he followed Mr.. &. out of the stable, a

Proper Time for Slaughtering
Animals.

It has lately been discovered, by a
French chemist, that the flesh of ami
mails, which are killed in the latter part
of the night, will keep much longer,
without sailing, than it will when they
are killed in the day time. This proves
that the flesh is better fitted for keeping,
when the life and blood are taken from
the animal, at the time its temperature
is lowest, and the respiration the least
active. Hence the reason that the flesh
from animals, that have been highly
heated, or hard driven, will scarcely
keep at all.--.fmcricea Rgriculiurist.

Hu1Iing Mtchine.

A machine is now being exhibited in
New York city, invented for the pur-

promises to be of remarkable utility.

almost miraculous. The berry comes
out entire, but robbed Of its brown out
err covering, purely white, polished, and
resembling wax. In this state it has lost
all its offal, and every particle will make
extra, -four, the berry having wasted but
about two pounds to the bushel in the
operation. The residue left in the ma
chine, is. mere refuse, and without val
ue. The comparison between the berry
after it has passed through the machine,
and before, is grenter than between
the reddest wheat of Chicago and the
whitest Of Gennesee. The saving in
weight, as well as the advantage of col
or, by the process, promises to create a
radical revolution in milling, and force
all milers either.to employ il or aban-
don the business. A machine TO cost
about $500, will prepare about 1000
bushels per day. The right is in the
hands of one of our most enterprisine
Western milers, who has heretofore
made about as good -four as was sent &c

the very best, has purchased the right te

to the fullest extent. We expect to see
some flour, soon after the opening of the
canal, made by this process, which viii
exceed the present extras as much as
extra does superfnc.

Manufacture of Cast steel.

Mr.. Joseph Dixon of Jersey City, the
inventor of anastatic printing, has inven-
ted process for making Cast Steel, an
article for which we are now indebted
to foreign countries, to the amount Of
millions annually.
This is most important invention.
The peculiarites, of which, as we are
informed, are the use of the black lead
crucibles of the inventors own make,
and Anthracite coal instead of coke,
which is used exclusively in Europe,
with clay crucibles.
A large establishment for this branch
of manufacture is about TO be erected at
Jersey City. The iron TO be used is
from Adirondack in our own State, and
the steel is pronounced by competent
judges, equal to the best imported from
abroad.
Mr.. Dixon has also succeeded in
making pure iron in masses of any mag
nitude, result never before effected.
This new metal will be of great utility
in the arts. In the first place, i'll vari-
Gus kinds of engraving, where it is now
customary to take cast steel, and after
forming it into the required shape, TO de-
carbonize it,. it cannot be re-hardened
without injury. and it has to be left so
soft that it is soon worn out in the hands
of the printer whereas, the pure iron
can be hardened TO that degree, that
thousands can be worked off without
dimming the original lines. This would
be especially true in that delicate kind
Of engraving called mezzotint. 1t is al
so suited TO the manufacture of every
style Of firearms, from the largest "peace
maker TO the smallest pistol-(or the
lathe mandrils, wire, and all purposes
where steel is now used in moving ma
.ohinery. Some of our first mechanics
have given the highest testimonials con-
corning its value. 1t is TO be hoped that
the clever inventor will receive juster
reward for this, than he has for numer-
Gus other valuable and scientific i'm
Iprovements OF his own invention.

Benefit of Salt in the Food of
Sheen

From some experiments made at the
Agricultural Institute, at ST. German,

which gained in weight 3 Id lbs. a
month, increased double that amount in
the same length of time, when about one
tenth Of an ounce Of salt was added to
the food of each per day.-Ib.
