FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL SHIP
\ COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE TO
~ C.qIIEORkLA

TINE public will be gratied to learn that the
i United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York TO San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts Of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon at the urgent solicitation OF the great
number then desrous TO go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from a desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lencc of fever Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
rs anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the Impotence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company. at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
VOYAGE through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDSON.
ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHcocx.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEr.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. s. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEM, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up so that no delay
beyond the usual stay OF the ship IN port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations Of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid and pleasant through passage to California.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTS.

1t is the duty of the government to
place some well educated men in the
position to employ their time and tai
ents, in investigating the secrets OF ma
ture. for the advancement of agricultu-
raj, and the general good. Agricultural
Societies, which are instituted for the
advancement of Science, should especl-
ally engage in the preparation OF such
experiments and divide the execution
of them among the several members.
Science would have made much great
err progress if the false shame with which
agriculturalists conceal every unsuccess-
full experiment; and the exaggerated
manner in which they often relate all
those in which they have succeeded, had
not retarded its progress.
We can experiment either by means
of simple observation, by examining the
subject and agents placed in relation
with each other, and by considering
their reciprocal action, and observing
its results, or by means of trials or ex-
periments by placing some well-known
plant in certain situations, determined
with precisons, observing their recipro-
cal 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 adj
dressed TO nature; when such question
is properly put, nature will necessarily
reply yes or no.
1t is only within the last century that
the art of making experiments has been
clearly apprehended. 1t is on this art
that the principal power ofman over the
material world is founded, and that pow
err will become more extended in proper
tion as he brings this art nearer perfection
and carries it into full practice.
There is peculiar kind of agricultu-
raj experiments which have arrived al
most at perfection, and can be regulated
with a degree of precision equal to that
which is attained in the other practical
sciences-these are comparative trials in
the open air.
1t is true that experiments of the kind
are not easily made, but, nevertheless
they are in the power of every rejecting
agriculturalist. Whoever has accom-
plished one experiment, whatever may
be the popularity of the circumstances
under which it was made, and has given
faithful account of it, has well con-
tributed to the advancement of science,
and consequently to useful practice, and
has entitled himself to the gratitude of
his contemporaries and of posterity. 1t
would surpass the power of any single
individual to accomplish any considera-
BILE number of these experiments, and it
could not be expected from him.

HEALTH OF CATTLE.

Mix, occasionally, one part of salt
with four, five, or six parts of wood ash
es, and give the mixture to different
kinds of stock, summer and winter. 1t
promotes their appetite, 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
various diseases. Some give it to an an
imal that is unwell. 1t is good for oxen
troubled with the heat. If animals will
not eat it voluntarily, cut 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 want
at the stated period. Therefore feed
morning, noon, and evening, as near the
same time as possible.
Guard against the wide and injurious
extremes of satiating with excess and
starving with want. Food should be of
a suitable quality, and proportional to
the growth and fattening of animals to
their production in young and milk, and
to their labor or exercise. Animals that
labor need far more food, aud 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 out 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
fountains are low, they drink the drain
ings of fountains, streams, and passages
of water, which are mwholesome.
If barns and stables are very tight and
warm, ventilate in mild weather, even
in winter.
In feeding animals on apples or roots,
begin with small quantity and gradu-
ally increase it. 1t would be better to
have all changes in food made gradually,
when there is material difference in
the nature of the food; as from hay to
grass, and the reverse; from much fod-
der to much grain, and the reverse.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

None 60 to heaven but those who have
a taste for it on earth.
No man has right to do as he pleases,
except when he pleases to do right.
Our wishes are but the idle blossoms
Of the tree of human life, seldom bearing
fruits.
Birds of Paradise always fly against
the wind, and heavenly-minded souls
move against the current.
Some there are who gaze intently into
the well of truth, but only in hopes of
seeing their own image reflected in it.
The more tender and delicate the
blossoms of Joy, the purer must be the
hand that will Gull them.
A pure mind can derive more enjoy
ment from this world, and from the sem
SEES, than an impure mind. This is true
even of the lowest senses.
A correct taste is ever the concomi-
tant of chaste mind; for, as a celebrat-
ed author has justly observed, tour taste
commonly declines with our merit"
In times of national disorder, great
men rise to the summit of affairs as GER
tainly as the large Jumps come to the top
when you shake a sugar-bowl.
The chief source of human discomfort
is to be looked for, not in the real, but in
our fictitious wants: not in the demand
of nature, but in the artificial cravings
of desire.
The proper element of man is con-
slant activity. The waters of life are
like those of the Bethesda pool-it is only
when they are agitated that they are
healthful.
Sin is a kind of insanity. So far as
1t goes, it makes man an irrational crea-
ture: it makes him fool. The con-
summation of sin is, over, and in every
form, the extreme of folly. And it is
that most pitiable folly which is pulled
up, with arrogance and selfsuficiency.
