RED ANTS.

Red Ants are worrying plaques to house

cipe against the vermin. Spirits of Turpen-

spread like vapor over the shelves of pan

But many persons think the cure worse than
the evil, disliking the smell of turpentine,
therefore give recipe l have used success
fully. 1t is this: Spread over the shelves in

This have known to act like o charm in get

Now all the quartz and feldspar in the world,

WHY DOES LAND PRODUCE WEEDS.

Because there is more wild, or tibrous mat
ter in the soil, accumulated by ages OF the
growth and decomposition OF vegetation, than
there is of that property required for the
crops we wish to raise.
As we have often said burn plant, and
the ashes will show what the soil is composed
Of" The ashes are what is drawn from the
earth. By the decomposition, what was
drawn from the atmosphere, has been libera-
ted, and escaped in the form of gas. The
ashes are mineral, and never exist, naturally,
in the atmosphere.
The ashes of all plants, consist Of the same
substances, only in different proportions
Like soap, which is grease, and alkali, but
when properly combined, are neither, but a
new compound So with soils. II the COM
pound is largely wild or vegetable, it will pro.
duce weeds, make an excess Of phosphate OF
lime and it will as naturally produce wheat ;
give it an excess of alkali, and it will produce
potatoes. a farmer should fit his crop to the
soil, or his soil for his crop.-[D.

LIME IN AGRICULTURE.

Professor johnson says, "the effects OF
lime are greatest when well mixed with the
SOIL and kept near the surface within easy
reach of the atmosphere. Its value is greater
upon newly plowed arabic surface Soils
Such soils usunlly contain a large amount OF
veget able and other organic matter, hence
the rule that lime ought always to precede
putrescent manure when old leas are broken
up for cultivation 1t produces greaterpro-
portional improvement on poor soil in their
natural state, than on such as are richer as
naturally poor soils contain a greater or less
quantity of organic matter but are nearly des-
titue Of lime. On the other hand, on poor
arabic lands which have been worn out by re-
peated lining and cropping, it does no good
whatever, as such soils, if they do not already
abound in lime, are generally destitute OF
other kinds Of food, organic and inorganic, by
which healthy plants are nourished, and they
can only be restored to fertility by a judicious
mixture Of all. On all lands in which vege-
table matter is wanting, lime may even do
harm to the immediate crops a considera-
tion OF the circumstances above adverted TO
are sufficient to induce the entire abandon
ment Of it, Where soil has been impover-
lshed through its unskilful application, or by
large admixtures OF lime aud mari for Sc
ries OF years, new additions are waste of
material and labor. When natural causes
have removed the Superabundance, and pro.
duced an accumulation Of those other sub.
stances which, when associated with lime. in.
crease the productiyeness Of the soil, its use
may be lesumed.'

A GREAT FARM.-It is ON error among
many good people to suppose large fortunes
the fruits only Of mercantile or commercial
life. Because few wealthy names appear
among them we should not by any means
take these as an index Of the whole. We
wish some of those eager young men who tiy
to the city in pursuit Of riches, would read the
following, and see whether there are not equal
inducements to stay at home. "fhe Fica-
nond Despntch speaks of visit to some
wkat celebrated farm, on James River, Curls
Neck. The proprietor harvested about 4O,-
900 bushels of wheat and will have !or sale
