WORK ON THE FARM FOR JUNE.
Rula Bagas-Those who have flock
of Sheep that they wish to carry we'll lhro'
next win,er--those who have oxen that
they desire to keep in good heart, bullocks
to fat,en, or who may have young stock Of
any kind, that they feel sufficient interest
in, to be induced to provide succulent food
for them, in order that they may grow and
do credit to their keeper, should bear in
mind, that from the middle Of this month
until the middle Of July. are the periods be-
tween which they should sow Rula Baga
turnip seed. Those who desire to grow
large roots and realize heavy yield, should
also bear this truth in mind-lhe earlier al
ter the 18th Of June, that the seed may be
be sown, the larger will the roots grow and
the more will their product be. For the
use of stock, then, the seed should be got
ten in between the 18Th and 25lh of June ;
but those designed for table use, will bear
to be delayed as late as the 18Th of July ;
though it would be better 10 get them In
during the first week of that month.
They may be cultivated either i'll drills
or broadcast,--the first method we prefer,
for three reasons-.frst, because they are
more conveniently and easily worked-se-
conozy, because, that mode involves less la
bor and thirdly, because they require less
manure.
SoH-They delight most in mcc ground
or grass sward, or clover ley; and, IN
either case, a deep, fertile, light sandy
mould.
Preparation Of the !SoH.-The land
should be literally manured, deeply plough
ed, and rendered perfectly fine, by repeated
narrowing and rolling two ploughlngs are
better than one but if two should not be
practicable, one, if thoroughly done, will
answer. The subsoiI plough following IN
the furrow after the share plough would
answer well, instead of a second ploughIng
possibly, where a sward or grass ley may
be turned down subsoling would be better
than a second ploughing
IfIt be intened TO cultivate them broadcast
the manure must be broadcasted over the
land, and ploughed IN as spread. If cultl'
vaed in drills, it must be deposited therein
Kinds and quantities Of .Manure-I
grown broadcast, it will take from Is to &C

TYPOGRAPHY,

,Lithographv is the art Of printing from
stone. This process is based upon the fact
that printing ink, being largely composed
Of oil, will not adhere TO any surface which
is wet with water.
Every one knows how utterly impossible
it is to mix oil and water. To lithograph,
then, all that is necessary, is to draw on the
smooth surface of dry stone, with grea-
sy crayon, whatever is desired 10 be print
ed. A weak solution of nitric acid is then
rubbed over The stone, which fastens the
drawing so that j. cannot be rubbed Off
After this a solution of gum-arabic is pass
ed over the surface, and then the stone is
ready for printing.
By means Of a sponge, water Is now rub
bed on the stone, and while yet wet the
linking roller is applied. The ink, of course
adheres to the lines of the drawing, because
they are oily, but to the wet stone it does
no. stick. The paper is now laid on, and
with the stone, passed through the press
the result being beautiful and exact copy
of wha,ever is drawn.
Such is the process by which the ltho-
graphic prints, that are sold in all parts Of
our country are made. The colored ones
are painted with water paints after the print
ing is completed.
The stone employed for TYPOGRAPHY is
Of peculiar kind of lime and clay nature,
resembling in appearance a smooth yellow
hone, yet possessing the quality of absorb
ing water. This stone is known as ltho-
graphic, or compac. lime It's found chief
Iv in Bavaria, one of the German states,
though there are quarries Of it in England.
The Bavariad stones, however are those
most universally employed, and their i'm
por,a,ion is a considerable object in COM
merce. In New York these stones are
worth from five to ten cents per pound

JACKSON, Feb. II, 1850.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Your reference to the construction
placed upon the Post Office regulations
in your last paper has been noticed by
me with regret. was aPprised early 10
the session that such was the opinion OF
YOUR Postmaster, that documents marked
with he name Of member, or having
any mark on the back, were subject to
the charge Of letter postage TIE Post
master here wrote to the distributing P NJ
at Vicksburg for directions, and ae az
thorized such endorsements as are o6lec
ted 10, as he informed me, fully ana
without doubt. Upon this, | wrote my
name, believing that had authority TO
do so.
The Legislature authorizes the Post
master here to prepay public Documents
sent by members 10 their constituents.
Now how is the Postmaster here to
know whether such documents come
from citizens or from members. II Is
only by endorsement Of their names on
the back. Otherwise the State might
be compelled to FPay the whole news
paper correspondence Of the city OF
jackson,
1t may be said that the Door Keeper
might keep them separate-but this is
not always convenient. There is not a
member Of the house but endorses as !
do-and so far as know there has not
been word Of complaint from any 9TH
er Postmaster in the State. have ex-
amined their documents and conversed
with many members, and it is the uni
versal practice OF the House to endorse
their names on the back Of those docu-
ments.
As the Postmaster chooses TO make
pr int about the mode Of endorsing my
name, | authorize you or my friend Col,
Garrett, to pay back in every instance,
to my constituents, the amount ofletter
postage charged upon public document
and all that my not be taken out Of the
office. Col. Ford authorizes me 10 say
the same for him-and we viii pay the
amount to you on sight.

gates in the next Grand Lodge, 10 bring
up with them the views Of their constit-
uents.
The annual dues on members to the
Grand Lodge were reduced from 81 to
30 cents. This does not refer to degrees
which remain at 81.
Votes Of thanks were passed in favor

MADISON CoUNTY.-From the report Of
the Auditor we gather the following sta
tistics for our county. The whole mum
Der Of acres Of land taxable in l849 was
43l ,482 a cres at an average value Of
FIVE dollars and eight cents per acre
Acres Of vacant land 1l,l68 -
Total State tax on lands $5,486,75.
Eight counties in the State pay higher
land tax than Madison and in nine the
lands are assessed at higher average
value, viz: Adams, Claiborne. Harrison,
Isaquena, Lowndes, Monroe, Warren,
Washington and Wilkinson. The as
sessment Of personal property for the
same year is as follows: Money loaned
&C., $l34,377; me rchandiZe sold by reg.
uIar merchants 2l3.5S2; value Of pleas
ure carriages 465IO dollars; value oil
Watches 1859 dollars; Of Clocks 8, I52
dollars; two ten.pin allies; one bowie
knife; thirty-four pistols; cattle over 20
head, $685.; lace, saddle and carriage
horses valued at IS, 100 dollars; gold ana
silver plate above the value Of fifty dol
lars, 1O35 dollars; value Of pianos, T.
745; value Of toll bridges. ferries and
turnpikes 1900 dollars Stations 5, Jacks
10; free male negroes 1, slaves under
sixty, 1000 free white polls between
twenty-one and fifty 928 State taN
on personal property, lO,4S5,63
dollars; With this amount Of prop
erty we are decidedly Of the opinion
that the county can take the hundred
thousand dollars worth Of stock on thu
terms mentioned in the letter Of our cor
respondent. Let the road be commenced
at Jackson and finished to the county lint
first, and after that the profits Of thu
road will nearly or quite pay the aunua
interest on the bonds until he compile
ton or the road. When the road is fin
ished the dividends can make sinking
fund to pay the principal after paying
the interest, and at the time the bondi
are due, the county will own one hund
red thousand dollars Of stock for an out
LAY Of about ls,OOO dollars.

SIR. We the Senators and RtPreseni-
tatiyes in Congress from Mississippi,
feel !, incumbent upon US to advise you,
and through you, our common constllu-
ents that we have a we'll defined opln.
ion that California will be admitted as a
State of this Union, the present session
Of Congress. The President earnestly
recommended it, and we cannot be mis-.
taken in supposing that a majority OF
both houses Of Congress will be found TO
vote for it. OF individual positions
have undergone no change. We regard
The proposition to admit California as a
State, under all the circumstances OF her
application, as an attempt TO adopt the
.'Wilmot Proviso" in another form. But
se parated, as we are, IRON our constltu'
ents, and having no convenient means
Of consulting them as to their views on
the phase Of This perplexIng question
we desire tn ough YOU, to submit the sin
gle fact to the people and to the Leglsla
ture, that California will most likely OBJ.
tain admission into the Union with her
constitutional prohibition Of slavery and
we beg leave to add that we shall be
greatly pleased to have such expression
Of opinion by the Legislature, the Gov
ernor, and if practicable the people, as
shall clearly indicate the course which
Mississippi shall deem 1t her duty to
pursue in this new emergency.
Very Respectfully,
Your obedient servants,
