Items from the Patent office Report for
lS52-3,

We find the following interesting item:
from the last Patent Office Report, prepared
by the editor of the GeaeSee Farmer, in the
Register and Examiner, of West Chester, Pa
"a journal that selects and condenses will
skill ard judgment.
"Judging from all the returns that have
reached the Patent Office, the farmers o
Ohio produce not only more wheat in the
aggregate, Than those of any other State, but
more bushels per acre on an average"
IN some counties in this State, the barn.
yard manure is designedly wasted, as the sol
does notssrequire it, and it is emoved from the
yard only because this is cheaper than to move
the barn. 1t is noticed, however, that the
average yielu on old lands is less per acre than
formerly"
"The best remedy" says one writer, "for
Hessisn flies and weevils, is the propagation
and care oil the iussy and leathering tribes OF
the air. To the swallows in general, but more
particularly to the chimney swallow, is assig-
ned the duty OF waging successful and lnces-
SAINT war, during the warm season and until
late in The fall, upon those Immense armies vi
insects which float in the summer breeze, the
rseVH and fly included. These birds, as is
generally. Wed known, procure sll their food,
cUssistin. ot insects, on the wing. After
their broods have been reared, they partake
Of but two meals duy-breaktast and sup
per. In the morning they range further; in
the evening they procure their food nearer
their domicl. When feeding their young
they are busy all day.
Nov, il these birds can be multiplied to
any desirable extent OH every farm, submit
whether their being So multiplied would not
insure our.wheat crops against the ravages OF
all insects. The house live in" continues
the writer, "has been built twenty seven
years; it has two stacks OF chimneys, with
twokiues in each from the second floor. One
OF these chimneyS, and one flue Of the other,
is every summer and fall exclusively devoted
to the use OF swallows; there they are permit
ted to breed undisturbed, and all available
means are resorted to to remedy accidents.
Thus:-

motion, build and size, they should be alike;
docility, mild temper, rather quick motion, O
tight and heavy build, and large size, are
the desirable qualities of awork-ox, If the
opposite of any of these qualities are found in
steer selected from the yoke, dismiss him at
one, and substitute another"

SIR:-The CONSERVATION which has been
produced by the articles contained in your
columns of the past week upon Court and
Coburg matters, and the eagernesS with which
your journal is seized upon at every club in
the metropolis, and in ali the large towns in
the country, proven not only that the shoe
pinches, but thar the public approve of your
views. Already observed that a hungry
Coburg, who arrived only on Saturday last
at Windsor, anhounces his departure for this
day, (Monday.) Be assured that only for
your observations this wandering Coburg
would not have packed off in such haste.
can likewise venture to Prophesy that, thanks
to you, we shall hear no. more of Admiral
Cory "engaging house for the winter at
New Lisbon" as was announced shor, time
since by foreign correspondent. 1t would
be interesting to see return of the sums Of
money spent by the British fleets at Lisbon
during the last five or six years and likewise
return ofsailors stabbed during the same
period by the grateful inhabitants Of that
town and be it remembered that one of the
earliest quarres between Lord Palmerston a.
our Coburg Prince, arose from his lordship's
unwllingness to send British fleet to sup
port Donna Maria and her Coburg husband
in their misdeeds and exertions.
