Use of Ashes.

Extract from the Address of Mr..
Little, of Ohio:
''Hitherto the natural fertility of the
soil has not rendered it necessary to pay
that strict attention to its improvement
which is indicated in the future; but the
time is coming and now is when if we
would have this fertility continued, nay
increased, we must pay strict attention to
the laws Of nature, the wisdom of expe.
rience and the light of science. Expe.
rience teaches us that certain crops ex-
haust the soil; the laws of nature require
the principles should be restored, while
science taking the lump of earth, which,
to the mere working man, is iuert matter,
anal Uses its parts, asceltains the missing
element, and applies the remedy. The
remedies most generally used are lime,
leached ashes, aud barnyard manure.
Lime of itself, is not a fertilizer; its ac-
ton is altogether chemical, warming up,
vivifying dormant or exhausted proper
ties in the soil, and imparting to tie
plant itself las wheat for instance,) that
portion of which its sustenance requires.
Thus tits, that when mixed with peat in
proper proportions, the heat of the un-
Stacked lime operating upon the vegeta-
bic character of the peat, its vitality is
destroyed, and the whole mass becomes
a valuable manure for any kind of crop.
"Leached ashes, the refuse of our
asheries, is most excellent manure. |
regret to notice in many, the entire neg
lect of this admirable fertilizer. Immense
heaps Of them are now lying in different
parts of our country, unnoticed, except
as nuisance. This is a great mistake,
as careful analysis shows large proror
ton of the most necessary ingredient
for the production of wheat. When /
came into tie neighLorhood in which l
live, found great prejudice against the

GROUND AND UHGRoUND FooD.--In Il
communication from the Society of Sha-
kers at Lebanon, New York, in the Patent
Office report, we find the following:
The experience of more than 80 years
leads US to estimate ground corn at one.
third higher than unground as cattle food,
and especially for fattcning pork; hence
it has been the practice of our society for
more than quarter Of a century to grind
all our provendcr.
The same experience induces us to put
higher value upon cooked than upon raw
meal; and for fattcning animals, swine
particularly, we consider three of cook.
ed, equal to four bushels of raw meal.
Until within the last three or four years,
our Society fattencd annually for 30
years from 10000 to $4,000 pounds Of
pork, exclusive of lard and ofal fat; aud
it is the constant practice to cook the
meal, for which six or seven potash kct-
ties are used.
The Shakers are closc-obscrvng, cal.
culating people, and go in for the practical
realities of life, and therefore, in the econ
omy of food, must be presumed to be good
judges.
For ourselves, we are disposed to be.
licvc the conclusions to which they have
arrived at, are correct.

EARTH'S SUNNY SPOTS,

What thoug! we wander in maze,
Bestrewcd with many thorn:
What though across the stream of time
Our bark be rudcly borne;
What though we number weary hours,
When life appears blot;
Still may We find, 10 cheer our hearts,
There's many sunny spot.
Though on the present, with its cares,
No light is seen 10 fall,
And o'cr the page Of future years,
Despair has spread her pail
Yet carly days Of childhood's mirth,
What heart remembers not?
When hopes bright dreams made all so fair,
Earth seemed one sunny spot.
The needless foot may press the flowers,
And odors from them bring;
Thus oft, in sorrows deepest night,
Faiths sweetest blossoms spring.
Ii thou hast dried the widows tear,
Piticd the orphans lot,
Then hast thou felt, amid the gloom,
There was 4 sunny spot.
If to the humble couch of pain,
Aid thou hast kindly brought,
And poured upon Il wounded heart,
The balm it vainly sought;
If thou in prayer hast mcchly bent,
Within the lowly cot;
Then thou hast in lifc's desert proved
Thyself a sunny spot.
Then, what though down the stream of time
Thy bark be rudcly driven,
Thy Pilots hand is ever near,
TO guide thee safe to heaven.
In Jesus trusting, thou shalt find
When, every care forgot,
Thou calmly rcstest, free from fears
The grave sunny spot.

use of leached ashes. At an ashcry on
an adjoining farm large quantity had
accumulated. Although at the time |
had no practical acquaintance with farm.
ing, yet having read somewhere that
ashes were good manure, obtained the
cheerful consent of the owner to remove
the nuisance. took for my experiment
an exhausted field Of seven acres, which
had yielded, | believe, at its last ploughing,
about twelve bushels of oats to the acre.
On this field | hauled and plowed in one
hundred loads of ashes (about three thou
sand bushels) at which all my neig ghbors
laughed and cried the man is a fool. But
soon a wonder came to light, which
showed them they were mistaken; the
field was not ruined, but, instead thereof,
the first crop was about twenty-five
bushels of good wheat to the acre. The
next year ashes rose to twenty-five cents
per load, and now cannot be had ut all,
the owner preferring to use them on his
own farm. | will be met here by the
objection that every body cannot afford
to buy lime Or leached ashes. This is
all mistake no farm can do well with
out them, and so long as the former can
be had Tor ten cents per bushel, and the
latter for fifty cents a load, he had better
mortgage his farm than not have them
But every farmer can at least save his
barn.yard manure, and how shamefully
negligent some people are about this
matter. Although in our country are to be
found farmers whose barns, opening on
the main road, give easy access to their
cattle to lie there, and there they lie sum-
mcr and winter. A bundle of straw or a
morsel of hay is thrown out to them on
the ground, to be eaten or trodden under
foot; all the benefits of the droppings are
lost, struggling nature calls for help in
vain. This is all wrong. Every parti-
Gle of food ought to be given under
cover; every barn-yard ought to be care
fully beddcd down. Leaves, muck, rot
ten wood, coal, ashes, ought to be added
whenever they can be obtained, and in
the spring the whole mass ought to be
thrown into heaps, that it may ferment
and destroy the seeds of all noxinns
weeds, and then, after harvest, il may be
hauled on your intended wheat fields, 10
repay you amply in good clean wheat
mot turned into chess for all your pains
and labor.

TIE UrIL1rY OF LEAvEs.-Evcry per-
son couversant with vegetable philoso.
ply, is aware that the all important re.
quisite in the growth of fine fruit, is a
good supply OF Lig, vigorous, healthy
leaves. A tree which is kept defoliated
for a single season must die: and fruit
growing upon branches which are de-
prived of their leaves cannot ripen-ex-
amplcs of which are furnished by the in
stant cessation of growth and ripcning Of
fruit upon trees which become stripped
by leaf blight. In one instance, a dcnsa
mass Of plums remained half grown and
Aavorless for several weeks, in conse-
qucncc of the premature dropping of the
foliagc-a second crop of leaves three
weeks afterwards, effected the compile
ton Of their growth and their ripening to
honied sweetness The editor of the
Michigan Farmer mentions the following
interesting case, illustrating the same
principle: Mr.. More, Of Detroit, has
magnificent grapevine, spreading itself
over one side Of his house, which was in
September, richly laden with fruit. After
the clusters were formed, cow entered
the enclosure, ate the leaves entirely, but
left the fruit untouched. The consc-
quencc was that upon that portion of the
vine which was beyond the reach of the
animal, there never were finer clusters,
while upon the portion from which the
leaves were removed, the clusters dwin.
died away, and have come to nothing,
and that, too, up to the very line of sepa
ration between the mutlatcd and unmu-
lated portions.
