Set up a leach of one barrel of good ashes,
and have the ley running at the time the lime
and sodaar prepared. As fast as the ley is
procured put it into the keg Of lime and soda,
stirring It thoroughly at the same time. Let
it settle from time to time aud dip off the
clear part carefully into kettle containing
fifteen pounds Of grease. and keep it boiling
with gentle heat. Continue to dip the run
ming ley first into the lime. and after it has
there settled out into the grease kettle until
the ashes have become spent and the ley is
too weak to be Of farther value. The soap
will by this time undoubtedly be done but
if it should fail from any cause, little more
strong ley passed through the lime. Or little
more boiling will perfect the process. The
soap can then be poured off into tub to cool, !,
and afterwards cut up into bars or cakes and
dried.
This soap is cheap, and with little age,
admirable for all family purposes. Soda can
be procured for five cents pound, and il it
is desirable TO make the soap harder, more OF
the soda and less Of the ley is to be used. and

HRRInIZING.


The doctrine Of the cross fertilization Of
vegetables, Or the "mixing," as il is termed,
Of certain varieties, Is now too well under-
stood 70 admit Of question in any mind.
We hear farmers frequently contending that
potatoes Of different kinds will "mix" The
first season they are grown ia the immediate
vicinity Of each ether. Thus the white and
colored yarieties. although previously grown
at distance from each other, il planted in
alternate rows, or hills, will produce spec
kled progeny. But this Is not tie case.
Crossing, IN the vegetable as in the animal
Kingdom, can only be brought about in the
natural way. e., By cross impregnation or
fertilization. All plants and vegetables u
tie same genus, wiuse period Of blossuming
is identical, are susceptible of liberalization
in intermixture. by means, and through the
agency of blossoms, aud in no other way.
The pistills ii the blossoms cf one variety
receive the fertiliLing dust, or formulating
pollen, from the stamcns Of the other, aud
the seed necessarily contains the germ Uf the
variety with which il has become impregnat-
ed by the intermixture.
In this way, good Kind Of melon, squash,
pumpkin OF cucumber, often has its valuable
distinctive characteristics merged in those oI
some less desirable kind. and rice rersa. In
dian corn presents many varieties, and inter-
mixtures are consequently frequent, here as
10 the culmilerous class. The farmer should
understand these things, IN order TO proceed
proftably with his labors.

GuANo.-In the prosection Of its useful la.
bors the Agricultural Bureau Of the Patent
Office has published the following instruc-
tions for using guano.
In the application Of this valuable ma
nure it is necessary to keep in view its pow
erfu properties, and TO exercise great care
to prevent its coming into immediate contact
with the newly sown seed or the foliage of
plants or flowers. 1t never should be plac-
ed in contact with seeds; for all seeds in the
process Of termination give Oft a greater Or
less quantity Of carbonic acid and vinegar ;
aud these acids having strong afiinites for the
amoniacal portion Of the guano, are apt to at
tact it so powerfully as TO check and even de-
stroy vegetation"

The following communication, from farmer in Al

and this Of itself would afford considerable protection

dogs urged by Of our hest farmers and after ALL
it may be the most effective remedy. The subject is
certainly one Of great Importance; and that the
farmers Of the State have become organized in State
Society, there is just ground 10 hope that they will be
able procure such legislation for the protection Of
their interests their experience may recommend,
and right and justice may require. The following is
the communication:
Clover Orchard, May 2s, 1855.
MEssRs. HEARTT: You would, perhaps, do
the farming interest more benefit than you
are aware, by urging the necessity Of levying
pretty wholesome tax on dogs. The coun-
try seems to be oyerrun with them, so that
il rs almost impossible for farmers 70 keep
sheep. without which there is but poor
chance to keep fields clean Of bricrs and
weeds. There seems to bea disposition in
our good citizens, not TO submit to law,
fairly enacted, without struggle, especially
when it does not suit their peculiar notion !;
hut nerhans II fhpy werp fn ron idpr that No
have to pay enough to keep the wheels Of
government in motion, and that il would be
as easy to pay il on their dogs as on their
own heads. they would agree TO pay one dol
lar, apart from their poll tax, for the first dog.
