structed may be made in few minutes by any

close the opening in the bottom by piece OF
sponge, then place in the inside, layer or
small stones, previously well clensed by wash
ing, this layer may be about two inches deep
the upper stones being very small next pro-
cure some freshly burnt charcoal, which has
not been kept in damp or foul place, as it
rapidly absorbs any strong smells, and SO be-
comes tainted and unfit for such purpose; re-
duce this to powder, and mix it with twice
its bulk of clear, well-washed, sharp sand;
with this mixture, fill the pot to within a short
distance of the top, covering it with layer Of
small stones, or what is perhaps better, a
piece of thick, close flannel over 1t, large
enough to tie around the rim of the pot outside,
and to form hollow inside, into which the
water to be filtered is to be poured, and will
be found to flow out rapidly through the
sponge in an exceedingly pure state. The
flannel removes the grosser impurities floating
in the water, but the filter absorbs much OF
the decaying animal and vegetable bodies ac-
tually dissolved in it, when it becomes charged
with them it loses this power, hence the ne
cessity for supply of fresh charcoal at inter-
vals.-Monthly Observer.

CALIFORNIA PRoDUcTIoNs.-As specimens
Of California agricultural productions, the Pla-
Ger Times tells US that it has sheen shown" a
small bundle of wild oats that grew without
culture in Gov. Bigler's garden at Benicia,
which were already nearly five feet in hight,
and bearing TO each stalk over one hundred and
twenty grains of oats and the stalks were one
and quarter inches in circumference We
are glad that people are sowing their wild oats
in that region. Our country friends will read
the following paragraph with wonder. Four

Gum Arabic.

In Morocco, about the middle of November,
that is after the rainy season, which begins in
July, gummy juice exudes spontaneously
from the trunk and principal branches Of the
acacia tree. In about fifteen days it thickens
in the furrow, down which it runs either in a
vermicular, or worm shape, or more commonly
assuming the form of oval and round tears,
about the size Of pigeons egg, Of different
cOlors, as they belong to the white or red gum
tree. About the middle of December, the
Moors encamp on the borders Of the forest,
and the harvest lasts six weeks.
The gum is packed in very large sacks of
leather, and brought on the backs Of bullocks
and camels to certain ports, where it is sold
to the French and English merchants. Gum
is highly nutritious. During the whole time
of harvest, of the journey, and Of the fair, the
Moors of the desert live almost entirely upon
it, and experience has proved that six ounces
of gum are sufficient for the support of man
during twenty-four hours.

Of the prospects of that county, the success Of
the settlers there and the increase of population.
The country is getting to be the garden of the
State and several farmers from Kennebec coun-
~ have recently gone in, with their packs on
their backs and have purchased clearings, have
put in their crops and will soon remove their
families to their new farms, and soon erect the
schoolhouse and the church.
Doct. w. H. Jewett of this city who has
been devoting portion of his time for several
years in this city in the propagation of choice
fruit trees, has sent forward several thousand
young grated trees and Is now engaged, with a
number of workmen in setting them upon a
rich and beautiful domain on the border of a
lake on hill side crowned with lofty sugar

and nursery, by one so we'll located in this city,
to secure all the choice varieties of fruit, will
be of essential advantage to the settlers in

Meadow Hay.

Meadow hay, if intended for winter food for
stock of any kind, should never be allowed to
stand until fully ripe. By remaining in the
field till it becomes mature, it acquires hard
and wirey character, which ensures its being
rejected by most animals when not actually
compelled by hunger; and is, indeed, fit for
little else besides litter, or bedding. By cut
ting-the period of inflorescence, perhaps, in
dicates with sufficient general accuracy, the
most suitable season for notwithstanding
thoroughly and sailing, with from one to two
pecks ofsalt per ton (the quantity in all cases
to be graduated in conformity to the use to
which it is to be applied) a very excellent and
salutary winter food will be secured.
Sheep do well, perhaps, in most cases much
better on this than on any other hay. They
partake eagerly, and are seldom sick. In
marshes appended to most of the farms, or
where salt-hay can be obtained in almost any
quantity, and at a merely nominal price, the
wild grass of meadow and fresh bog land, pos
sess less intrinsic value; but even then it is
hOt ny w DC LlIOWu away. GfCH
if you have no use for it in your barn, it will be
found an excellent article for manure. When
used for this purpose, cart it into your yards
green, or in partially made condition, and
spread over the surface, or else pack it away,
after ''making it, as hay, in some convenient
and unoccupied out-building, to be thrown out
occasionally during the winter, or to supply
bedding for your horses, sheep, swine and other
animals, and thus be mixed up with the ma
nure for future use. But there are few places
where good crop of wild hay, will not be
valuable to the farmer for feeding In the in
terror it is eminently so, and there is generally
demand for much larger quantity of it than
most farmers find it practicable to obtain. In
such places, the wost imperfect of the wild
grasses, if properly sailed, will be found to
possess high value. It is an error to sup
pose that long standing improves the quality
of this description of hay. The earlier it is
cut, after the season Of haying commences, the
