WASHINGTON CONFERENCE.-The two boards
met yesterday afternoon in their respective cham
bers. The board of aldermen passed the bill from
the common council approprating $4,000 for the
erection of AN iron bridge across Rock creek, be-
tween the city and Georgetown, (the lower bridgc)
with an amendment, requiring the mayor to let
the work by contract To the lowest bidder. This
will doubtless be acceded To by the common coun-
Gil, and may speedily look for this much desired
Improvement.
The common council passed an important bill
through all its stages with surprising unanimity,
requesting the President of the United States it, in
his opinion, it shall be deemed expedient, TO direct
the Commissioner of Public Buildings to cause TO be
erected the canal four iron bridges, at a cost
not exceeding $1,000 eacb-one on II street, one
on It'll street, one 18th street, and one on 18th
strect-in lieu of the present wooden structures
The money for these bridges, should the sum be APP
propriated, is to be taken from the $4,000 now
standing to the credit of the corporation in the
United States Treasury, arising from the sale of
city lots agreeably the 18th section of the law of
the last Congress- amendatory of the charter of the
corporation of Washington.
Several other matters Of minor importance were
acted on by the two boards, not worthy of special
notice here, but which those interested will find in
the official proceedings when published

single nod! How many graves have been
dug by false report! Yet you will pass
the SANDER along. you will keep it above

you might sink it forever. Destroy the
passion for telling tale, we pray you.-
Lisp not word that may injure the char
acter of another, and, as far as you are
concerned, the SANDER will die. But tell

Culture Gf Field Beans.

Many of our farmers would find it ad-
vantageous to cultivate few acres of field
beans, and as the season for planting the
crop is at hand, we direct attention to the
subject. friend states that he raised
very profitable crop the past year, and
though his land is well adapted to wheat,
he thinks beans pay quite as well on a
small scale.
The crop thrives well on quick dry
soil, finely pulverized; but if inclined to be
wet, the land should be ridged. The seed
may be put in any time this month, after
the danger of frost is past. Do not plant
in cold wet time, as the seed will be
more liable to rot; the ground ought to be
well warmed by the sun before planting.
Bush beans are the only ones used for
field planting, and of these there are sew
eral kinds. Among others the long gar
den beans, white, red or mottled, are
known as great bearers, of good quality,
and mature early.
Relative to the culture and produce of
this crop, Judge Buel says:-'Beans may
be cultivated in drills or in hills. They
are valuable crop, and with good care
are as profitable as wheat crop. They
leave the soil in good tilth. cultivated
beans the last year in three different ways
viz, in hills, in drills, and sown broadcast.

light plow, at the distance of two and
half feet, and the beans thrown along the
burrows by the hand, at the rate OF at least
a bushel to the acre. / then guaged dou-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Preparation of Seed Wheat,

By sitting, with suitable selves, the
large plump berries may be separated from
the small and shrivelled, which will make
a great improvement. The wash thor
oughly in water, stirring violently, and
skim off all floating substances. Violen,
washing will rub off the seeds of fungus,
which might cause smut or other diseases,
and destroy the eggs of insects; and by
skimming. the light seeds and other refuse
substances may be excluded.
Various sleeps are used as a further pre-
vention of smut, &C., for which we have
recommended violent washing. The fol-
lowing is cheap, convenient. safe, and
probably as affecting as any; and it has
the important advantage of floating oats,
and grains of comparative Gghtness, that
sink in pure water,
Make a solution of salt, as strong as
can be made, which is probably about one
quart of salt to two gallons of water. In
this steep the wheat. and remove worth
less matters that arise; all the grains of
wheat of comparative lighthess. 1t is best
to soak the wheat twelve or twenty-four
hours; but when thus prepared, if the
weather is favorable, it will keep in good
condition for several days or weeks, if the
brine is strong, as it will not vegetate in it.
We have kept wheat week or two in
this way; and a farmer informed US that
he had prepared wheat in brine, when his
intervale, where he intended to sow, was
overflowed, and he kept it in the brine,
three weeks, and, as it was late, he then
spread and dried it, and sowed the next
spring with success.
After soaking wheat i'll brine, drain off
the brine, which is good manure, an d add
sufficient slack lime to make it dry enough
TO sow. Sow soon after the lime is added.
If any accident or storm prevents sowing
soon, return the grain into the brine, as
the best preservative.

PHILOSOPHY OF FARMERs.-Here IS the
secret of good farming. You cannot take
more from the land than you restore to it
in some shape or other, without running it,
and SO destroy your capital. Different
soils may require different modes OF treat
ment and cropping, these are golden rules
to attend to. Drain until you find that the
water that falls from the heavens does not
stagnate in the soil, but runs through II and
off it freely. Turn up and till the land
until your foot sinks into loose, powdery
loan, that the sun and air readily pass
through. Let no weeds occupy place
where useful plant could grow. Collect
every particle of manure that you can,
whether liquid or solid. Let nothing on
the farm go to waste. Put in your crops
in that course in which experience has
shown to lead to success in their growth,
and to an enrichment not impoverishment
of the land. Give every plant room to
spread its roots in the soil, and its leaves
in the air.
