PoTAroEs IN TAN, PLASTER, AND IN ASHES
Some interesting experiments have been ia'ely
made with these different substances, winch al
afford valuable results. The journal OF Agrl-
culture furnishes a statement of trials made
with notatoes covered with six inches of salt
hay. with Stacked lime in the hill and salt over
it: with lime only, and that on the surface; with
a shovel full of tan in the HILL with shovel full
Of marsh mud; and with a shovel full of cattle
manure The salt hay, Stacked lime and salt,
manure, and mud, were all attended with equal
results; the lime on the surface. and lime on the
hill, afforded one-sixteenth more, while the tan
under the seed yielded one-fffh more, and tan
on the seed one-eighth more--the latter being
larger smoother, and better than the others.----
To what cause is the favorable influence of the
tan to be ascribed? Some, doubtless, would re-
fer it to its chemical composition; but the more
probable cause is its mechanical influence, in
regulating the quantity of moisture in the soil.
Unfortunately, we are not informed whether the
soil was light or heavy.
IIom SET Vi experiments uetalleu Ill Ile
Genessee Farmer, on "a dark clay loam,7 in
Schoharie Co., N. Y, 1t appears that in all
cases the application of ashes in the hill, ash
es mixed with smaller portion of plaster, re-
suited in the rotting Of 8 portion of the crop
much more so than when nothing was applied.
On the other hand, the application of plaster
alone resulted in the entire soundnsss of the
crop. Further investigation may be needed to
determine how much of this result was owing
to chemical, how much to mechanicle, and how
much to other accidental causes. We have of
ten observed that where the soil contained ad-
hesive portions, which stuck like mud to the
toes, that such potatoes always retted first. Could
the ashes plaster have controlled this particu-
lar influence? 1t is proper to remark that the
ashes were followed with a much larger crop
than their non-application. The Country Gen

HONEY BEEs.-The Albany Culiivator has an
interesting article on honey bees, from the pen
Of a distinguished professor, from which We
quote the following paragraph:
"Many-nearly every body-suppose that the
bee culls honey from the nectar of the flowers,
and simply carries it to its cell in the hive: This
is not correct. The nectar it collects from the
flower is portion of its food or drink; the hon
eyit deposits in its cell is secretion from its
melifc or honey secreting glands, analogous
to the milk-secreting gland of the COW and 9TH
er animals.) If they we're the mere collectors
and transporters of honey from the flowers to
the honey comb then we would have the comb
frequently filed with molasses, whenever the
bees have fed at the moasses hogshead The
honey-bag in the bee performs the same func-
tions as the cows bag or uddcr, merely receiving
the honey from the seeFeting glands, and retain
ing it until proper opportunity presents for its
being deposited in its appropriate storehousc
the honey-comb. Another error is that the bee
collects pollen from the flowers accidently, while
it is in search of the honey. Quite the contra
~ is the fact. The bee while in search of nee
tar or honey as it is Improperly called, does not
collect pollen. 1t goes in search of pollen spe-
cially, and also for nectar. When the pollen of
the flower is ripe, and fit for the use of the bee,
there is no nectar; when there is nectar, there
is no pollen fit for its use in the flower.
1t is generally supposed, also, that the bee
collects the wax from which it constructs its
comb, from some vegetable substance. This is
also an error. The wax is a secretion from its
body, as the honey is; and it makes its appear
ance in small scales or flakes, or under the rings
of the belley, and is taken thence by other bees,
rendered plastic by mixture with the saliva of
the bees mouths, and laid on the walls of the
cell with the tongue, very much in the way
plasterer uses his trowel.'

ANALYSIS OF THE APPLE.-An interesting
paper on the analysis Of apples, DIR. Salisbury,
Is found in the Transactions of the n. Y. Soci-
ETY., and furnishes some facts worthy of notice.
Owing to the season lin spring. before the an
aIysis was commenced, the following sorts only
were examined, viz: Swaar, Killham Hill,
Rhode Island Greening English Russell, Rox-
bury Russell and Talman Swceting. From the
numerous tables of results the following facts
are drawn:
The English Russell contains less water and
more dry matter than many Of the other sorts.
This is doubtless the reason why this variety is
so hard to freeze. The Talman Sweeting con-
tains more, the Greening still more, and the
these from 78 to Sc per cent. A fresh potatoe
contains about as much water as the Russct.
These results show the reason that apples, when
manu- featured into cider, produce nearly their
own bulk Of juice, fact which has often puz-
zled many who merely regarded the solid nature
of the fruit.
A striking difference in the composition OF
the apple and potatoe, is the entire absence of
starch in the former, while in the latter it con-
stitutes about one half of the solid part. The
apple according to this analysis, is rather supe
riOr to the potatoe in the fat producing quail
ties, and which accords with the experience of
some accurate farmers. The apple contains
about twice as much Of the compounds of nj
trogen as the potatoe.
The Russetts were found to contain a larger
portion of fannie and gallic acids than other
sorts. These acids impart astringency, and are
indicated by the black color given to knife of
iron or steel used in cutting this fruit. The ap.
pie is rich in phosphoric and sulphuric acids,
and potash and soda. Hence we may infer that
bone dust, ashes, salt, and plaster, would be
likely to prove useful as portions of the manure
applied to bearing tree, in addition to what is
already contained in yard mature.
