HINTS TO FARMERs.---Cabbagcs and
Turnips should be suffered to remain out as
long as the ground keeps open. When there
Is pretty fair prospect Of its freezing, they
may be removed. Both these vegetables
increase more rapidly in size after the adj
vent of cold, than before. They also attain
season, of which they are destitute at the
earlier seasons of their development.
Cabbages when removed to the cellar,
should be Immediately set out. A very
slight sprinkling Of soil about the roots, will
cause them to keep fresh, and even to in
crease somewhat in size during the winter.
1t will also conduce considerably to their
savoriness as an article of food, and retain
them crisp and sweet.
HENs.-A shed behind your horse stable,
is the most favorable place for the hens du-
Nig winter. You can throw the manure
y ON the stalls into it, and as horse dung,
especially where the animals are grain fed,
ferrnents rapidly and powerfully its heat
will conduce to keep up genial and sum-
mer like temperature, highly advantageous
to the fowls. By sprinkling sulphuric acid
freely over the surface every few days, all
tine unpleasant and deleterious consequent
ces resulting from the ammoniacal gas, G.
volved by the manure, will be neutraiized,
and saved for the benefit Of the crops. An
other important advantage attending this
practice, Is the saving effected by the econ
omisation Of the grain contained in the ex-
crement. This. when the manure is thrown
toto the yards, or in heaps, is inevitably lost;
but under the system herein recommended,
every particle is saved. Hens accommo-
dated in this way, if well fed, and supplied
with meal, lime, ashes, chopped vegetables,
buttermilk, Sc, &C., will lay constantly,
and be nearly or quite as profitable as du-
ring the summer months.
Rats may be expelled from your cellars
and graneries simply by scattering few
stalks and leaves of mullen in their paths
There is something very annoying IN this
plant to the rat. 1t affords, therefore,
very easy remedy for most perplcxing G.
vii, and much more economical and less
troublesome than gunpowder, 'rat extermi-
nator," cats or traps. The mullen is very
common production, and may be found in
almost every field, as well as in pastures,
and by the sides of the highways.
Save all the bones, aud having mashed
them, place them in tub and pour over
them quantity of sulphuric acid They
will be dissolved, and may then be applied
as manure 10 your turnip and other crops
Not bona should be thrown away

les PRODUCED By STEAM Power, AND
STEAM CONVERTED INTO SNow.-That ice
can be produced by mechanical means ma
ny have heard; but that steam may be US
ed as an auxiliary for the purpose will seem
hardly credible to any body, and that steam
itself may be converted into SnoO by the
aid Of steam Is phenomenon of which but
very few have heard. Yet these are facts,
and are now daily demonstrated at the
Great Exhibition, in the refreshment room,
adjoining the department Of machinery in
motion. Mr.. Thomas Masters, of the Roy
al Polytechnic Institution, Regent street,
the inventor of various ingenious machines
for freezing, has adopted one of them for
being put iii motion by steam power, and
which is now in operation daily in the wes-
tern refreshment room. This apparatus is
capable Of freezing upwards Of 100 quarts
of dessert ices (sixty different sorts are pro-
duced in the one machine) every fifteen or
sixteen minutes. An unlimited supply can
thus be obtained, and of perfectly smooth
quality. The economy of time, labor, and
expense thus ensured must be immense
A more perfect and simple continuance for
producing perennial supply Of these deli
cacies, in a crowded place like the Exhibit
ton, could not be conceived, and the in
vention is undoubtedly one of the most in,
gen,ous novelties in the section devoted TO
the machinery III motion.
The machines, however, are not limited
to making desert ices they are made to pro-
duce cylinders of solid ice sufficiently large
enough to hold decanters of water and ma
ny bottles of wine. These cylinders are
made in the form of castellated towers, and
and have very novel appearance they
not only cool the wine and water placed in
GOODNESS through the atmosphere. The con-
verting steam or vapor into snow is effect
ed by forcing it through the machine, and
in this way a whole room may be easily
cooled down in the hottest of weather.
These are very singular effects. They are,
however, easily to be understood Oh an ex-
animation of some of the patentee's smaller
machines, Of which there are several exhib-
tied IN class 80; and which are calculated
for use in small family or bachelors
chamber. The cost of turning pure water
into ice for sherry -cobblerS, cooling wine
and other purposes, is less than it can be
purchased for at ice stores. The machines
are we'll worthy the attention of the curious
and scientific. Mr.. Masters, the patentee,
is, we understand, the contractor for the
supply of the confectionery and desert ices
to the eastern as we'll as the western refresh
ment rooms in the Exhibition, and visitors
have thus every opportunity of informing
themselves of the merits of these singular
inventions. Scientific american

PuLvERIzATIoN OF THE SON.

The fact that plants can only receive
their food in a soluble state, cannot be too
strongly impressed on the mind of the far
mer He should also be acquainted with
the agencies which bring the crude ele-
msnts into this state of solution. Hon. l..
G. Ball. in an address before the Renssela-
er County Agricultural Society, gave some
good illustrations of this subject, in speak
ing Of the mechanical preparations Of the
soll. He explains the Importance of this in
reference to the preparation Of soluble food
for plants, aud observes-''All these opera
tions and results which | have endeavored
TO explain, take place no where else than
upon the surface of the earth in the pres
ence Of light, heat, air, moisture and cleo
trio fluids; subject to the separate influence
of earth, and exposed to the combined &C
ton Of all. At that moderate distance be-
low the surface, at which these influences
cease to operate, all tendency TO decompo-
sition and decay, and all attempts at chang
es and alterations of form and substance,
are arrested. The same elements are doubt
less everywhere difFused, but they are lock-
ed up by the conditions of their original
combination, and will so remain until
brought to the surface, and their prison
doors opened by some agent already free.
Bury this rock below the influence Of heat
and moisture, and unless thrown up by some
CONFUSION Of nature, it will remain there
unchanged forever. Place it upon cult
waited field, let it be turned by the pillow,
and exposed to the decomposing agents ex-
listing in the air and in the soil, until it is
pulverized, and in few years it will APP
pear upon your table in some article offood,
or upon your persons in the garments you
wear, or be sent to market in the form of
beef and pork and exchanged for tea and
sugar, or silk, and lace"
