used by many millions Of people in China
and some parts of Europe, to mix with
night-soil. In this way it can be thorough
ly dried and not part with any of its gases
Copperas-water and diluted oil of vitriol
poured over night-soil convert all the
volatile into involatile elements.
To command water in dry weather, and,
get rid of the excess in rainy seasons, deep
tEags is equally valuable. In the former
case. moisture ascends from the subsoil by
capillary attraction and in the latter,
the excess of water in the surface soil de-
soends into the subsoil to meet an exigen-
cy of an opposite character. The skilful
control of water is the first lessod in good
farming.

| MATERIALS FOR MANrRE.-There are
so many sources from which the materials
to make manure may be derived, that the
wonder is, how any farmer should neglect
to improve his opportunities for making
his farm as rich as his garden spot. There
are shores of creeks aud rivers lined with
mud-woods abounding in mould and
leaves mould from head-lands and fence
sides and corners-mud and vegetable
matter from the marshes, and the scrap
ings of bitches and roads, in each, and all
Of which are comprised the true elements
Of manure, requiring nothing but little
labor, and composing, to make them all
as good as horse dung-a cart load of sta.
bic or cow yard manure, mixed with three
loads Of substances enumerated, will make
the whole as good as itself-2O bushels of
ashes, would do the same thing, while a
dead horse, or a dead COW, cut up and
composted with twenty loads, would make
it all as rich as Goshen cheese.-American
Farmer.

The rJorth Branch Canal.

The Pittston Gazette strongly urges the
prompt completion of this important i'm
provement, and states that with suitable
appropriation, it could be finished by the
first of May, or June, Of the present year.
Should this be done, the revenue from
this hitherto dead investment would
doubtless amount to $4,000 or $4,000
the first season and besides yielding at
the start a reasonable interest on the capi-
tai invested, which would steadily and
largely increase, from year to year, it would
at once unlock the immense resources of
that neglected region, and impart life and
prosperity to its mining, manufacturing
and commercial interests. We see no
good reason why the requisite appropria-
ton should not be made by the present
Legislature. The utmost prudence and
economy should at all times be observed
in the public expenditures, especially with
so heavy a debt on hand as the Old Key
stone has to bear but this should not be
pushed to the unjust and impolitic extreme
Of crippling or sacrificing meritorious i'm
provemcnts which, when completed, and
of course not till then, would be of practi-
cal and immediate benefit, not only to that
particular section, but indirectly to the peo-
ple of the entire Commonwealth. If mon
ey can be spared from the Golfers of the
Commonwealth to crafty an antiquarian
taste for Colonial Records thing well
enough of itself, in the long run-surely
there can be no difficulty in providing,
with judicious Gberality, for such enter
prizes as the one in question, which will
produce large, and by no means remote
results, of direct and substantial value
self evident to every person acquainted
with the North Branch country, and sus-
ceptible of mathematical demonstration to
such as are not familiar with that region,
or doubt its capabilities. There is reason
to hope that wise counscls will prevail land
appropriations-equally remov-
ed from prohigacy and mistaken parsimony
be reported, and receive the Legislative
nd Executive sanction

Early Bearing Trees.-A Mr.. Burt,
who communicates with the New England
Farmer, in relation to the early bearing Of
fruit trees, says have followed the
grating business for the last fifteen years,
every spring, excepting the past one, set
ting from 5000 to 1000 scions each season,
and am always trying experiments. 1
have found that scions taken from an old
bearing tree, will bear fruit in less than
half Of the time that they will taken from
young and thrifty tree, and much sooner
than they will from a medium-aged tree.

The Cultivation of Flax In the U
States.


Institute held meeting a few nights
since, for the purpose of discussing the
growth and cultivation of flax in the Uni
ted States. Mr.. r. Underhill presided.
He proceeded to remark that the form of
the fibre of fax is round, while that of
cotton is fat. These facts are shown by
high magnifying powers. Flax, when
finely prepared, feels much like silk, and
makes a splendid and delightful cloth,
cool, great conductor of heat, susceptible
of the finest and fastest dyes, of superior
durability, and suitable to the largest por-
tions of the globe-the warm and the
temperate regions. We must apply our
genius to the question of rendering it as
cheap as cotton, for it will grow in vast
regions where cotton can not, and if we
do not hasten, the world will soon be be-
fore us in garments of fine linen. 1t would
be great triumph for us, if We can set the
world the example of supplying mankind
by machinery, with it, as cheap as cotton.
A vast new field of industry will be opened
for us, and our rapidly growing population
require it, and all new avenues for pros
porous progress"
Mr.. Tallmadge observed that the flax
grower has two objects, one is the fibre
and the other is the seed, and he contends
that fax is congenial to every acre of our
extended country.
"Its production-Rotting. by
sleeping it in hot water; I'd, by sleeping
in cold brook water Sd, by sleeping it
in pool, stagnant water; 4th, by dew rot
ting; 9th, by chemical process, new meth
DDS, not yet established.
"Manufacture.-To crackle, to dress by
machinery; to spin by machine labor.
The spinning and weaving to be by
machinery equivalent to the manufacture
of cotton"
President Tallmadge then moved the
following resolution:
Resolved. That the Farmers Club re-
commend and desire the American Insti-
tute to provide and offer a premium to be
awarded discretionary, in whole or in part,
for the material, new essential advances
and improvements in the culture, prepara-
tion, spinning and weaving of fax by Ia
bor-saying machinery
Mr. Ellsworth, late Commissioner of
Patents, said: 81 have the evidence here
in my power, that we can supply fax chea-
per than cotton. have tried it on our
prairies We make first fence around
the feld-we do it for Sl10 per mile, and
so durable fence, as yet, has not been
made elsewhere. We run two deep fur
rows to put the bottom of our posts in
these posts incline TO each other at an an
gle. We place side rails on one side of
these angular posts; we turn the burrows
back again on the feet of the posts. We
place our corn stalks when that is the
crop, leaning against these fences, and
thus shelter is formed for our stock We
plough with beam nine feet long, sup
ported in front by two wheels. We have
no weeds the first year, and fax subdues
them afterwards. We get ten to fifteen
bushels of fax seed per acre. We NOW
it with horse power machine. We sow
Geld with barley and fax in equal parts.
Barley grows tallest-both ripen at the
same time. We separate the seeds by
sievcs which let one kind pass and stop
the other"

nEVirginia has taken her stand with
reference to the Compromise and the posi-

mined, in the first place, to abide by "the

sympathy with South Carolina, and advise
against secession-and in the third, to
take no part in the proposed Southern
Congress. This, under the circumstances,
may be regarded as truly national and pa
triotic policy. 1t is calculated, moreover,
to exercise happy influence upon the

Destroying Plant Lice.-The following
simple and safe remedy is given: Pour one
quart of boiling water upon one ounce of
shag tobacco; let it stand until cold, and
then strain and bottle it for use; it will
keep good year if not wanted. One
sprinkling of this will destroy the green
fy upon any plant, without the least inju-
ry to the plant itself. The best method of
applying it, is to take the plant in one
hand, and holding it with its head down.
wards, with feather or brush sprinkle
the tobacco water on the under part of the
leaves, or if the plants are not IN flower all
over them.-[A Albany Cultivator.
How to Preserve Health.-Mediciue
will never remedy bad habits. It's utter
ly futile to think Of living in gluttony, in
temperance, and every excess, and keeping
the body in health by medicine. Indul-
gence of the appetite, ,indiscriminate dosing
and drugging have ruined the health and des-
troyed the lives of more persons than famine
or pestilence. If you will take advice, you
will become regular in your habits, eat and
drink only wholesome things, sleep on a
mattress, and retire and rise very regularly.
Make free use Of water to purify the
skin, and when sick take counsel of the
hsst physician yoa know, snd follow na-
: taEc.
