Shiuele Making

In looking around among the workshops Of

the manner in which shingles were being turned
out They have two of Evart's patent shingle
machines in operation, and can turn out on an
average 10000 shingles per day. We suppose
these machines are the best in operation both
with reference to the speed with which they
work, and the quality of the work they make,
the shingles being square jointed, and perfectly
made i'll all respects. 1t is worth while to stop
in and see the way in which shingles can be
made in these modern days of Improvement.

When the battle is set, we who stand
for Free Kansas will all pull together,
and any one who now proclaims that
that he will have such a candidate, or
won't have such another. is only dam
aging the man Of his choice in case
that choice should be ratified by ma
jority Of his compatriots, or preparing
a modification for himself In case il
should be overruled.
There is no warrant for presump-
ton that the Philadelphia Convention
will nominate candidates VINO are not
heartily and wholly with us on the
great. controlling issue. And what
more can any one require? Are we
so sure of success that we can afford
TO disregard all considerations Of pop.
ulsrty or availability? Nay: have
we any moral right TO overlook such
considerations?
To us, the Cause is far above any
man or clan. Our first question is,
"Where is the man who can most
probably lead the Republicans to vic
tory and secure Kansas to Freedom?"
Thet man. whatever his name or his
antecedents. is our candidate. We
are willing to hear reasons why this
or that person is likely to be stronger
in the popular vote than others; but
anything calculated to disaffect and
ALLEVIATE any portion of our compatri-
OTIS. in case the nomination should
be adverse to the writer's wishes or
judgement. we are unwilling to publish

would also be we'll to get the trees
for the peach orchard, from a cli-
mate as vigorous, at least, as
where planted.
To rid the peach tree from tile
depredations Of the Borer, the
only efiectual method is to com
mence with the tree when young,
aad dig away or remove the earth,
for a few inches in depth, from
the base Of the tree: say as far as
the collar, where the roots sepa-
rate; then take a strip Of flannel
or WOODEN cloth, six or eight inch
es in width, and long enough to
reach over once around the stem
of the tree, tying the same with
an elastic string, so as not to In
terfere With the growth of the
tree, and taking especial pains to
so place the earth that it shall bu-
ry beneath the surface one half
of the cloth. The Borer will new
err penetrate this cloth until it de-
Gays, but will con6ne its opera
tons to those trees which are des-
titute Of this protection. The
cloth will nave to be renewed ev-
cry two years.
The borer, as / have observed,
seems almost invariably to COM
mence its operations at the bark
of the tree, just under the surface,
where the top Of the earth meets
the tree. The bark Of this part
lis soft and easy Of access; and af,
ter a puncture is once made, the
borer will work under the bark
where least expected. Its pres
|ence is always indicated by the
|exudation Of gum from the bark
where perforated. AS the tree
advances in age, the borer ceases
its attacks.
The varieties of peaches that
will best thrive in this climate,
ARE: Bergen's Yellow; Early Til
|lotson, Coles Early Red, Craw-
ford's Early, Lemon Cling, Early
York, Morris White, Red Cheek,
Melocoton, Rare Ripe, Crawford 1
Late, George the Fourth, Large
Early York, Old Nixon, Snow
Peach, White Sweet Water.
The above comprise most Of
the profitable orchard varieties
and are worthy Of every fruit
growers attention.

About the latitude Of New
York, the proper time to plant
broom corn is from the lst to the
10th Of June. The rows should
be about three and a half feet a.
part, and the plants, when thin
ned out to a stand, from four 10
six inches apart. The land most
suitable for broom corn is not the
richest Indian corn land, but
rather a light loan, in good filth,
deep plowed, and finely pulveriz-
ed with the harrow, and MANFRED
with well-rotted compost, or with
guano or super.phosphate. The
cultivation at first requires a
good deal of careful work with a
hoe, to thin out the weeds, and
keep them clear of grass and
weeds. The after cultivation can
all be done with horse hoe. 1t
is labor lost to hill up broom corn,
as we'll rs Indian corn. Just be-
fore the seed is ripe the farmer
goes through his broom corn and
breaks down the stalks in such a
manner that the two rows inter-
lock and support each other. This
process keeps the brush straight
er than it would be if allowed to
come to maturity upright. 1t
should be harvested before the
seed is fully ripe, as it then has a
brighter color and tougher brush.
The seed should be stripped of as soon
as the brush is cut, and the stalks
cured in the shade, while the seed, II
saved for use, must be kiln-dried, or
carefully cured in the sun. The seed,
unless fully ripened on the stalk, is
very difficult to cure. Ii allowed to
lay inIheaps, it will neat so as to en-
danger buildings from spontaneous
combustion. The yield of Al acre OF
broom corn. upon good land, say such
as would produce so bushels of corn,
will be from 500 to 800 pounds Of
brush, worth from Eve to ten cents per
pound. according to the demand. II
is generally considered a profitable
crop; and many think an exhausting
one.-N. Y. Tribune.

Tee well known miser, John
Herryman, a citizen of this place,
died very suddenly on Friday
night Of last week. The deceas-
ed was a German, who by some
means had a handsome fortune,
which we have heard variously es-
timated at from twenty-five to IF
ty thousand dollars; but, unlortu-
nately for the public as we'll as
himself he belonged to the lowest
grade of misers. In fact, the
most avaricious and loathesome
character OF that class ever pain
ted by the master hand of Dick
ems, to use a cant phrase, twas
not a patching to him.
Of his history, place of nativi-
ty, or friends, nothing at all
is known; and any allusion to
these matters, even by his most
intimate friends, always exaspera-
ted him.
He leaves so far as at present is
known, no one to inherit his es-
tate, which will, in all probability,
escheat to the State. No will has
yet been discoyered-and it is
not probable that he left any
The manner CT life and parsimo-
NOUS habits Of the deceased are
almost incredible.
For the last sixteen years he
has constantly worn the same
blue, linsey-wolsey wamus and
pantaloons, carefully::darnedo or run
all over with strong thread, so as
to prevent it from wearing out,
except on some important occa-
sions, such as land sales or some
thing of that kind, when they
gave place to a suit Of black vel.
vet, that he often boosted had
served him faithfully for forty
years.
He contracted the disease from
which he died by walking over
the bad ads..during the most in
clement weather of the season
all the way TO Putnam and Hen
ry counties, to pay his taxes OF
the land he owned there, without
clothing to protect him from the
cold. In fact, we are informed
that he scarcely ever wore shirt
or under garment, and that the
one he had on when he died ha(
not been changed for over three
months.
1t is related Of him that, bu
a short time since, notwithstand
ling the pile Of gold and silver h
had boarded away, he actually
carried an old horse shoe he hat
picked up at some place abou
the shops, to q neighboring vii
lage, where he succeeded in selling
lit for about half a dime.-San

PorAToEs--BUrr IiNDs '. SEED

John Brown, Of Long Island,
communicates the following to-
the Granite Farmer:
Several years ago, ! made
some experiments to satisfy N.Y.
self concerning the disputed point
as to which is the best part Of the
potato to plant, in order to OBJ
tain the largest and best yield.-
The exact result has been lost,
and having often since read asser-
tons directly contrary to conclus-
ions which / then deducted, | re-
solved to repeat the experiments.
Last spring | planted four rows of
equal length, side by side with
two varieties of potatoes. In
one row ! planted none but seed
ends, so called. including about
one third Of the potatoes, and in
the next row | planted the butt
ends of the same potatoes |
had one row Of butt ends and
one row Of seed ends Of a variety
called Peach Blows. The yields
of the four rows we're as follows:
Pink eyes, butt ends. $3.50 cit lbs.
90 seed ends, $500 10 i"
Peach Blows, butt ends - 925 /"
seed &C. ITO /"
The potatoes raised from the
butt ends were much larger than
those from the seed ends, and ap-
peared to be from a week to ten
days earlier. This result cores
ponds with that of my former ex-
pertinent. Had the whole field
been planted with butt ends, the
yield would have been more than
five hundred bushels to the acre.
| also planted two rows next to
the above, half tuber in each
hill, cut lengthwise, so MS TO di-
vide the eyes equally, and in the
other | dropped only small pota-
toes, one in each bill. From the
former | dug Isl pounds and
from the latter l34 lbs. Ishould
add that the average yield was a.
bout $50 pounds to the row, and
that large (not the very largest
potatoes were used for seed, cut
lengthwise with half a tuber in
each hill"
