"A Good Cellar.

A good cellar is almost a luxury, at
any rate it is very important item to every
dwelling house. Having very poor one
myself, determined to make it better if |
could. The walls were laid with cobble
stone mostly, and seemed to defy the mason
The bottom was upon the upper edges Of
the strata of a very soft rock, quite uneven
aud very wet most of the year. A plank
floor would last but little while and was
always in state of decay, producing, Il
very damp unhealthy atmosphere, wholly
unfit to keep anything sweet many days.
In the first place | procured a quantity
OF lime from the liners of asstannery. To
this | added about equal parts of sand
making very coarse but tenacious mortar.
With this filled the interstices of the wall
making a toIeraoy even surface. | next
covered the bottom to the depth of from
to IL inches with small field stones. level
lHg the surface with smaller pebbles as we'll
as l could. l then procured two or three
casks OF water cement, (now common
article, costing about 81 so per cask in
Boston,) with this simple mortar was
made and spread as smoothly upon the
stones as possible to the depth of and l-2
inches. In a few months this floor became
almost as hard as the "nether milestone "
and is very easily washed and kept clean
and sweet. No rat or mouse can gain
admittance, and it is so dry that may lay
my apples upon it if choose, or other veg
etables, or casks. without any injury from
dampness. 1t is now in fact first rate

ponds, flag holes, and other places what a
change might be wrought IN our agrIcul-
ture! If farmer has ten acres oil SANDY
or Ioamy land, and one acre of bog meadow
o. flag hole, his flag hole or meadow Is
worth to him more than any acre OF the
most fertile land on his farm Take Inc
same quantity of muck and spread It on
sandy land, as you would of manure IRON
the barn-yard, and you will find the muck
preferable; for manure, when spread on the
top of the ground, evaporates and goes OH
in the air, while the muck penetrates
through the turf and gives the grass roots
new life, and soon increases the crops OF
grass.
Suppose farmer, by driving forward his
business and making proper improvement OF
time, can be able to spend few days each
year in collecting materials for manure,
great will soon be the effect upon his pros
perity! After collecting few loads of
muck, or other materials, let this be thor
onghly mixed with the manure of the barn
yard, the stables, the sheep pen, and tile
hog yard. One hog will make two loads of
good manure in one year, good enough for
corn in the hill, by putting muck, &c, in
a yard for him to work over. Another artl-
Gle that is valuable, if farmers will take the
pains to collect it in the fall, is maple leaves.
Put them under your cattle and into your
hog-pens. The leaves are worth much
as the same weight of ashes, when well
rotted.
Another method of making manure is to
take muck or turfs, and mix one bushe of
unsIacked mari lime to load of muck,
and put it in a pile. 1t soon ferments and
becomes fit to spread on the land, or for
corn or potatoes in the hill. The use of
mari lime, by mixing it with straw, peat,
and other materials, to make manure, is
more valuable than most of our farmers
are aware Of AT.

For the Freeman.
Good Economy.

Mr.. EDIroR Il should like to inquire
why we do not hear something from the ex-
permental improvements of our farmers in
Washington County whether they are all
asleep, or care nothing for the benefit of
the rising generatioul | think fortune
Of economy for the rising generation is
much better than fortune in wealth and
experimental improvements in farming,
like experimental Religion, are too good to
be kept hidden like treasures buried in the
field.
wrote an essay about two years ago,
thinking some of our farmers would foil ow
my example, on some other subject. And
now | write another-not wholly from nv
own experience, however, but from what |
have learned of farmers by travelling over
Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
In regard to manures, very few farme RS,
comparatively, are to be found, who make
any efforts at all to increase either the guam
thy or quality of their manure The sub
ject liz very important one; and it is to be
