HINTS TO FARmERs' BoYs.-Therc is one thing
that would like to impress upon the minds OF the
farmers of this country. To all of you who have
boys that can write, get each one memorandum
book a few sheets OF paper will do, if nothing bet
ter can be had, and in that let each one keep an
account of every days work done in the year the
kind of work employed in; and day of the month
and date of the year.
If in sowing mention the kind of grain and the
am )unt of seed to the acrc-the time of planting
and of reaping. In fact, should have them note
all the passing events of the farm: and they
grow older they will find more Of Importance to
note.
Five cents will buy book that will last one
year to commence with My word for it, if the
farmers will but adopt this course their sons will
be much better farmers than their fathers.
1t may seem like dry business to commence
the first of January, but the spring opens the
green grass spears, and bright prospects in our
paths, the task will be more pleasing every day
until the close of the year. Who would not give
twice what the paper and ink cost, could he but
obtain a memorandum book written by his grand
father one hundred years ago.
George Washington, one of the best farmers in
America, kept journal of his farm.
Try it farmers, young and old : keep journal
of every day, and you will become race of scien-
tific book farmers, not to be imposed upon.

THE YANKEEs.-A correspondent Of the

Worcester, Mass, under, date Of August II.

The fellow locked aghast; mixture of

shell out before he had time to calculate on
the next pull.

s'Man is a chameleon and doth feed on air.
Prof. Leiburg in the following, demon

':Science has demonstrated that man, the
being who performs all these wonders, is
formed of condensed air, or solidified and
liquifed gasses } that he lives on conden-
sed as we'll ss uncondensed air; that he pre-
pares his food by means of condensed air,
and by means of the same agent, moves the
heaviest weights with the velocity of wind.
But the s.rangest part of the matter is, ,ha,

condensed air, and going on TWO legs, oc-
casionally, and on accoun. Of the produc-
ton and supply Of those forms of condens-

LONG AND ROTTEN MANURES.

Clayey loans readily retain the gases which
arise from decomposng manures powed deeply
under the soil, and for such soils long manures
plowed deeply under in the fall with profit, but
sandy soils will not retain the resultant gases from
decomposition. They may, however, be rendered
retentye by the addition of charcoal dust, clay,
Or decomposed peat or muck, and when practicable
should be SO treated as the most economical
method.
: Manures should either be plowed under the soil
before decomposition, and sufficient time before
planting to their decomposition, they
should be previously decomposed in compost, but
never alone. Large quantities of organic matter
should always be composted with putrescent ma
nures, that during their decomposition, the
gases produced may be absorbed, and not lost by
evaporation. Nor should manure or compost heaps
be ever suffered to become dry, or fire .tangng
will and much of their value will be lost. IT
is equally hurtful to leave manures immersed
in water in ponds, holes, &C., for then, al
though the decomposition is slow, still we can al
ways observe bubbles of carburetted hydrogen
atmosphere, and consequently lost to the farmer

EVIL CoMPANY.-Tbe following beauti-
full allegory is translated from the German :;
Sophronious, wise teacher, would not suf-
fer even his grown-up son and daughters
to associate with those whose conduct was
not pure and upright. "Dear father" said
the gentle EulaIa 10 him one day, when he
forbade her in company with her brother,
to visit the volatile Lucinda-"dear father,
you must think us very childish, ify ou i'm
agine that we should be exposed to danger
by it," The father took in silence dead
coal from the hearth, and reached it to his
daughter. SIT will not burn you, my child;
take it," Eulaia did SO, and behold her
beautiful " bite hand was soied and black
ened, and as it chanced, her white dress al
SO. 1--WE canno, be too careful in handling
GOALS" said Eulalia, in vexation. "Y es
uuly," said the father 'you see, my child,
that Goals, even if they do no. burn, black
en-; so it is with the company Of the Vi
cious."

EFFECTS OF POISON ON VEGETABLE E


Among the papers read TO the "American
Association for the Advancement ofScience,''
at lis session at Albany, was one by Dr..
SALISBURY, of Albany, giving the result of
an interesting experiment to show that liv-
ing vegetables may be affected by vrulent
poisons as sensibly as animals. A large
ra,llesnake, which had been kept in a cage
for about year, died on the 18th of June
last, probably from starvation for i. had
refused all food during its long confinement.
On dissection the stomach was found as
thoroughly empty as though j, had been
washed out. The sac containing the poison
was opened and the virus carefully remov-
ed. The point of a sharp penknife was dip
ped in the poison, and several plants were
inocula.ed with i. by inserting the point of
the knife slightly under the inner bark
Among these were four young shoots Of the
lilac, young horse chestnut, corn plant,
and a sunflower. No effect was perceived
for two days. In about sixty hours The edge
and points Of the leaves began to wilt and
show signs Of decay. The disease grsdu-
ally crept inward towards the mid-rib of the
leaf. And in ninely-six hours the leaf blades
on all of the plants, aboue The point of mo
culatton, were willed and dead. On the
sixth day the bark above the incision was
much wiled and wi.hered. On The tenth
day the plants seemed to be convalescent,
and on the fifteenth they began again to put
out some feeble sickly-looking leaves. And,
finally, all apparently recovered their usual
health. None died before their time, or will
die, as far as can be judged, in consequence
of the poison.
This was an interesting experiment, and
suggests some interesting reflections. Why
did not those plants, which were evidently
so much affected by the poison, die9 Pro-
baby no human being would have survived
such trial, if left without artificial or medi-
cal aid. Blu. the plants had no doctor ; by
the strength Of their own constitution they
struggled with the enemy, and at length cast
him out, and lived. Why were they en-
abled to do this Was it because they had
always obeyed the true laws of their being,
without excess, preserving the health and
strength Of constitution which Nature as
signed Them? Was it because neither
they nor their parents had sinned that
they could thus stake up deadly thing
and it should not hurt them - Fanciful as
the thought is, there may, after all, be some
thing more real in it than mere imagination.
1t mGy De in the counsels of Infinite Wis
dom that the human race shall make pro-
gress in truth, knowledge, and righteousness,
ill the time shall come when, physically
as well as morally, they shall meet with
nothing SO hur. or destroy in all the holy
moun,ain.''
