alkalies. Lime performs that agency both
in agriculture and domestic economy. Take
a case in the former. Every farmer is fa-

plowed ground. The most abundant is call
ed sheep-sorrel, and frequently sour-dock.
Botanists call it rumex ascetocello. 1t fire.

quicklime this acid is neulralized and chang

from them. In making soap, the purer the

necessity Of putting red.hot horse-shoes in
to the soap to drive out witches, or even
waiting till a full moon for making soap
By mixing lime with the ashes it removes
the carbonic acid from the potash, forming
the carbonate of lime, leaving the potash &

BEAUTIFUL LExTRACT.-There is an even
tide in human llfe-a season when the eye
becomes dim and the strength decays
when the winter of age begins to shed upon
the human head its prophetic SHOWS. 1t is
the season Of life to which the Autumn is
most analogous, and which i, becomes and
much it would profit you, my elder brett-
rem, to mark the instruction which the sea-
son brings. The spring and summer of
your days are gone, and with them not on
" joys they knew, but many Of The friends
who gave them. You have entered upon
the autumn of your being, and whatever
may have been the profusion Of your spring,
or the warm temperature of your summer,
there is season cf stiffness, of solitude,
which the benifcence of heaven affords YOU
in which you may mediate upon the past
and future, and prepare yourself for the
mighty change which you may soon under
90. 1t is now that you may understand the
N agnifcent language Of heaven-it ming giles
its voice with that of revela,on--it sum-
mons you TO those hours when the leaves
fall and The winter is gathering, to that
evening study which the mercy of heaven
has provided in the book Of salvation. And
while the shadowy valley opens which
leads TO the abode Of death it speaks of that
love which can comfort and save, and which
conducts TO those green pastures and those
still waters where there is an eternal spring
for The children of God.

CHEESE VS.. COMMON SHoT-The great

the MonlevedIan navy, who, in an engage

Ayrean service, fred every shot from his
locker.s-
"What shall we do, sir - asked bis frs,
Lieutenant, "we've no. single shot aboa rd;
round, grape, canister and double headed are
all gone."
"Powder gone, eh :" asked Coe.
'No, sir s; got lots Of that yet'
"We had dam'd hard cheese-a round

'By Jove this is too much this is some

tually backed out of the fight, receiving

A MERRY HEART.

A MERRI HEART.
IT'S well to have merry heart,
However, short we stay
There s wisdom in a merry heart,
What'er the world may say.
Philosophy may lift its head
Aud find out many flaw,
But give me the philosophy
That's happy with straw!
If life but brings us happiness
1t brings us, we are told,
What's hard to buy, though rich ones try.
With all their heaps of gold!
Then laugh away-let others say
Whate 'er they will of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth.
There's beauty in a merry laugh,
A moral beauty too
1t shows the hearts an honest heart
That's paid each man his due,
And lent share of what's to spare
Despite of wisdom's fears;
And made the cheek less sorrow speak,
The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may shroud itself in cloud,
The tempest wrath begin;
1t finds a spark to cheer the dark,
Its sunlight is within!
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate 'er they may of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth!

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTS

| II Is the duty of the government TO place
some we'll educated men in the position 10
employ their time and talents, in invesigat-
ing The secrets ofna,ure, for the advancement
Of agricultural, and the general good. Ag-
ricu!ural Societies, which are Instituted for
the advancement Of Science, should especial
ly engage in the preparation of such expert
mens and divide the execution Of them a.
mong the several members.
| Science would have made much greater
progress if The false shame with which az
rlculturlsls conceal every unsuccessful ex-
pertinent; and the exaggerated manner in
which they often relate all these in which
they haze succeeded, had not retarded its
progress.
We can experiment either by means of
simple observation, by examining the sub
ject and agents placed in relation with each
other, and by considering their reciprocal
action, and observing its results, or by means
of trials or experiments by placing some
well-known plant in certain situations, de-
lermlned with precisions, observing their
reciprocal action and preventing as much as
we possibly can, any foreign or unknown
body from influencing the results of our
experiments. A trial is question address
ed to nature; when such question is pro-
perly put, nature will necessarily reply yes
or no.
1t is only within the last century tha, the
art of making experiments has been clearly
aPprehended. 1t is on this art that the
principal power Of man over the material
world is founded, and that power will be-
come more extended in proportion as he
brings this art nearer perfection and carries
it into full practice.
There is peculiar kind of agricultural
experiments which have arrived almost at
perfection, and can be regulated with a de-

not easily made, but, nevertheless they are

pertinent, whatever may be the PECULIARLY
Of the circumstances under which it was
made, and has given faithful account of it,

science, and consequently to useful practice
and has entitled himself to the gratitude of

would surpass the power Of any single in
dividuaI to accomplish any considerable
number of these experiments, and it could
not be expected from him.-Von Ihaer.

HOME.

Of all the spots that heaven has blest,
The dearest place is home
IT'S there the fond heart loves to rest,
And never loves to roam.
While love plays round the smiling hearth,
IT'S heavens own bliss enjoyed on earth.
Of all the joys that man can feel,
The purest sure are there
While o'er his heart affections steal,
Like balmy summer air;
His wife 5 caress, his children's smile,
Unlike the world, are free from guile.
Of all the gifts bestowed to cheer,
Mems pilgrim path below,
The richest treasure resteth here,
Which they are blest who know;
While love plays round the smiling heart,
IT'S heavens own bliss enjoyed on earth.

HEALTH OF CATTLE.

Mix, occasionally, one part OF salt with
four. five, or six parts of wood ashes, and
give the mixture to different kinds of stock,
petite, and tends to keep them in healthy
condition. 1t is said to be good against
bots in horses, murrain in cattle, and rot in
sheep.
Horseradish root is valuable for cattle
1t creates an appetite, and is good for vari-
ous diseases. Some give it to an animal
tina, is unwell 1t it is good for oxen trou-
bled with the heat. If animals will not eat
it voluntarily, Gu. it up fine and mix it with
potatoes or meal.
Feed all animals regularly. They not
only look for their food at the usual time,
but the stomach indicates the wan! at the
stated period. Therefore feed morning,
noon, and night, as near the same time as
possible.
Guard against the wide and injurious ex-
tremes of sa,ia,ing with excess and starving
with want. Food should be Of suitable
quality, and propor,ioned to the growth and
fat,ening Of animals to their production in
Young and milk, and to their labor and ex-
!
food, and that which is more nutritious, than
those that are idle.
Guard all descriptions of stock against
cold and exposure, especially against cold
storms of rain, sleet, and damp snow and
against lying ou, on the cold ground in cold
nights, in the spring and fall.
In dry time, see that animals have
good supply of pure water. When the foun-
tains are low, they drink the DRAWINGS of
fountains, streams, and passages of water,
which are unwholesome.
It barns and stables are very tight and
warm ven,ils,e in mild weather, even in
winter.
In feeding animals on apples or roofs, be-
gin with small quantity and gradually in
crease il. 1t would be better 10 have all
changes in food made gradually, when there
is a material difference in the nature of the
food as from hay to grass, and the reverse'
from much fodder to much grain, and the
reverse.-.American Veterinarian.
