Properties Of Charcoal.

Among the many properties of char
coal may pc mentioned its power of de-
strOying smell, taste and color; and as
proof of It's possessing the first quality, if
it be rubbed over putrid meats, the flavor
will be destroyed. If piece of charcoal
be thrown into putrid water, the putrid
taste or smell will be destroyed, and the
water rendered completely fresh. Sal
lors are aware of this; if water is bad at
sea, they are in the habit of throwing pie
ccs of burnt biscuits into it to purify it.
Color is materially influenced by char
coal, and in numbers of instances in We
ry irregular way. If you take dirty
black syrup and filter it through burnt
charcoal, the color will be removed. The
charcoal of animal matter appears to be
the best for this purpose. You may learn
the influence of charcoal in destroying
colors by filtering bottle of port wine
through it; in the liberation it will lose
great portion of its color and become
tawny; repeat the process two or three
times and you have destroyed it alto
gether.

PiSCicuIture. .

We devoted some space in our columns
few months since (says the n. Y. Trib-
une) to an account of recent experiments
in France in extending the production of
fish, experiments SO satisfactory in their
results in their then stage of progress as
to lead to well-founded hopes that by a
little care and exertion every brook and
rivulet may be made to afford large in
crease to our means of subsistence.
The place where at the present time the
principal experiment is in progress is the
village of Huningen and its environs, in
Alsace, few miles from Basle, in Swift
land. The French Government, few
months since, loaned 10000 francs to
NM. Berthot and Detzem, to enable them
to make all needful preparations and ar
rangements to carry on the experiment at
this place on scale that should prove de-
cisiye. The Superintendent of this estab-
lishment, M. Coste, made report in Feb
ruary lastto the Academy of Sciences upon
the progress which he had made, and the
report is published in one of the April
numbers of Dingler's POtytecltmic Journal,
a very respectable German publication.
His treatment of the spawn of salmon and
trout had proved so satisfactory in It's re-
suits, that he has no doubt of having by
June, that is four months from the date
of the report, SOC, 600 young fish of these
two species with vGhich to furnish the riv
ers, all sufficiently grown to be secure
from the ordinary dangers to which the
minnow is exposed. In the brooks of
Huningen in which the spawn is hatched,
over a million of salmon and trout eggs
have been blaced, Of which l20, 600 we're
spawned along the bank of the Rhine un
der the eye of the Director.
The enormous productiveness of this
establishment may be imagined when a
years space is taken into consideration,
for no sooner are the present varieties of
fish distributed from the brooks & ponds,
than their places will be supplied by the
young of the Danube salmon and shad,
which spawn only in the spring, thus
keeping up constant succession.
The new branch of industry is already
spread at Huningen, over a space some
Il miles in extent, where the waters of
ten natural fountains, that of a small
stream passing through the establishment,
those of the Rhine and the standing wa
ters of marshy ground, are all found near
each other, and at hand to mingle in such
proportions as may be necessary for diff
ferent species. Hopes are entertained
that sturgeon and other fish, which require
the sea and fresh water by turns, may
thus be raised, and that by placing them

Value of Poultry Manure.

It is lamentable, and disgusting even,
to see what waste is going on in this
country of the richest and most valuable
manure ever known. We are importing
shipload after shipload of guano, (sea-bird
manure,) while hundreds of tons of poul-
try manure, which is asserted to be equal
in value, is suffered to go to waste in the
the United States. Each farmers poul-
try yard produces so little, that it is suf-
fered to 90 to waste, and thus the country
loses over million of dollars annually.
Having learned the value of poultry
manure, we suppose now our urreaders would
like to know what is the best method of
saving it.
First build poultry house, if it be no
more than rough scafolding of poles or
slabs, laid upon crotches, forming double
pitchroofwith end boards in winter keep
out the wind and driving storms. Under
this place parallel roosts; and the manure
in the night will drop down into a narrow
row beneath. Here place light loam a
bout foot deep, rather wider and longer
than the roost, and give it sprinkling Of
Plaster Of Paris an inch thick. When
this IS covered with manure an inoh deep,
give it layer of loam four inches deep,
another sprinkling of an inch of plaster,
and so continue. In the spring, mix all
well together, keep it free from rain, and
use 1t at the rate of one pint to hill of
corn or corresponding quantity for Gu
cumbers, squashes, pumpkins, melons,
peas, onions, strawberries, or any other
fruit, vegetable or grain requiring rich
manure, and our word for it you will have
crop Of superior quality. Thus you will
become one out of the many who is desi-
rous to benefit himself, and assist in sa-
wing more than million of dollars annu-
ally to the country.-Anaer. Agricuztur-

| which were to serve as screen when the
the clerk came along, was moulded into
prints that weighed considerably less thar
a pound. With this, among other pro-
ducts of his farm, Edmonds went to mar
ket, fattering himself that he would be q
clear gamer by the the operation of from
two or three dollars.
But human calculations are sometimes
vain. Scarcely had farmer Edmonds
disposed of a dozen pounds of his fRe
fresh butter, when the market clerk stop
ped before him with his handsome brass
scales in his hand, and said-"I guess
must go little deeper into your tub this
morning than usual, friend Edmonds.--
There's nothing, you know, like keeping
you folks honest"
There was an instant change in the ex-
preston of the farmers face, which the
clerk did not fail to observe. Setting
down his basket with the air Of one who
expected to put something into it, the
clerk laid aside the Jumps that formed
the upper stratum of butter, and took a
print from beneath. Placing it in his
scales in opposition to pound weight, it
arose instantly towards the receding beam.
"That's bad!" said he, removing the
lump of butter to his basket, and placing
another in the scale, which proved as
light as its predecessor, and was soon
laid by its side. And lump after lump
followed, to the grief and chagrin of the
exposed farmer, until between thirty and
forty had passed from his tub to the bas-
ket of the clerk. during the progress of
this scene, little crowd was attracted
all Of whom, from the merry newsboy to
the staid Guardian of the Poor, who made
a careful examination of the tub to see
how much the inmates of the Almshouse
were to gain by the operation, enjoyed the
countryman's modification. He, poor
fellow, hid his diminished head as quick
ly as it could be done after the depar-
ture Of the clerk, and went back to his
home little wiser if no better.
"You met with a rather bad accident
last week." said G. to the farmer.
He could not resist the inclination he felt
to see him once more.
"Why, ye-yes," stammered Edmonds,
coloring to the eyes. "But it wasn't my
butter; it was some brought for neigh
bor."
"Indeed-was it. Then I suppose the
butter I've had from you for the last two
months was from the dairy of that same
neighbor 7"
Edmonds was so confused at this unex-
pected question that he was unable to re-
ply.
"And the tough chickens, added G..
"They were your neighbors also, l pre-
sume"
The farmer turned his back suddenly
on his customer, and the latter - feeling
that he had punished him sufficiently,
went on his way.
Butter that proves light of weight al
ways belongs to a neighbor.

The following is from Michigan pa

prefer the word, they can call it " Hasty
Pudding" or if any of the descendants of
the KnickerbockerS insist upon calling it
"Suppawn," nobody will quarrel with
them. Mush, Hasty Pudding and Sup
pawn are all the same thing.
"a friend writes US as follows: In q
late number you have something about
mush. Let me suggest for the COM
fort of those who stir it an hour or two,
and then labor a great while to wash out
the pot in which they boil it, that all this
trouble may be saved by cooking it in
tin pail, set in pot of boiling water, and
after it has cooked, letting it cool in the
same, after whichit will slip out in mass,
leaving all clean behind it. WhOsoever
tries this plan will never try the old one
again, for it prevents the possibility of
burning the mush, and dispenses with all
care and trouble except occasionally to re-
plenish the water in which the pail is set
to boil As to the length of time required
the rule is "the longer the better" ."

REMEDY FOR CANcER.-Col. Ussery, Of
the parish of De Soto, informs the editor
of the Caddo Gazette that he fully tested a
remedy for this troublesome disease, re-
commended to him by Spanish woman,
a native of the country. The remedy is
this: Take an egg and break it, pour
out the white, retaining the yolk in the
shell, put in salt'and mix with the yolk
as long as it viii receive it, stir them to-
gefher until the salye is formed; put a
portion of this on piece of sticking-plas-
ter, and apply to the cancer about twice
a day. He has tried the remedy in his
own family with complete success.
