DON'T FORGET THESE FACTS.

A law of the United States imposes heavy fine
and imprisonment for d>chnrging the duties Of
common humanity to AN escaping slave.
The free cirzens of Kansas have protection,
from the icicrul government, against the assaults
and outrnecs of band of pros avery ruihdnS.
who are determined to force slavery upon them
against their will.
The Executive and Judicial Power Of the nation
is in the hands of men who are subservient to the
designs Of the Slave Power.
BY a tyranical edict from n United States Judge,
one Of the best and nohlest of American citizens
is lying in Jail at Philadelphia for telling the
ruth.
By permission and assent Of the nntion-North
and Snuh--slavcry to-day exists in the District Of
Columbia. and at the seat of that government
which claims to c founded upon the principles Of
universal equality.
As matters now stand, II man who rever n
slave, and who has not drop Of African blood in
his veins may he arrested in any Northern State,
under United States Laws. and carried away into
rcturnless bondage, with no chance to provo him
self IL freeman. The laws of this nation afford no
posve and certain protection to the liberty Of any
man in the country .-Nineso;a RcpuClican
METHODIST PROTESTANT. The last Virginia Con-
ference of the Methodist Protestant Church passed
by unanimous vote u resolution declaring that
they will not "either directly indirectly, inter
ierc with Slavery" leaving that matter 'entirely'
to the civil authorities One would think they
might at least call to account those Protestant
Methodist preachers who buy and sell their hreth-
rem in the Lord. The same conference adopted
the following excellent resolution on Temperance:
Resolved, That all the ministers Of this Confer
ence be requested to preach the subject Of Tenn
perance at each Of their respective appointments
during the present Conference year.
Would il not have saved the church from the
evils of political strife. had they referred the whole
question of Temperance to the civil authorities,
and then have given themselves entirely 10 the
work Of the ministry? "-Re',gtovs TELESCOPES

USE ALL YOUR LAND.--IIow often do
you see men adding acre to acre, for the
sake of having large farm to cultivate,
when they have never yet TILED one half
the land which they possessed in the first
place They have cultivated perhaps
five or six inches of the surface, and
have never made the least use of the
eight, ten or twelve inches that lie i'm
mediately below it. A few years ago
there was apremium offered in Kentucky
for the best ten acres Of corn. The av-
erage crop of the competitors, was one
hundred and twenty-five bushels per
acre. Now, if that quantity of corn can
be produced upon an acre, Is it not folly,
for you, intelligent reader, to add TO that
which you already possess, until you
have made the latter capable of producing
that number of bushels, or as near it as
may be2 You know very well that you
can raise these one hundred and twenty
two bushels great deal more cheaply
off any one acre than if you had to cul-
tivate three or four for that purpose. -
Why then buy more land until you have
brought under cultivation what you al
ready have.

Agricultural
Selecting seed Corn.

Every corn-grower is sensible Of the
great Importance of planting good seed
corn. There is nothing so discouraglng
to the Farmer as to be under the neces-
sity of planting his crop the second time
to be re-pAnting or fuwowing out the
second time, when his neighbor is cult
waiting his corn. On the other hand,
how animating 10 have it conc up well
TO have what can be called ga good
stand" The previous cultivation and
preparation of the land having been
thorough, the crop is considered half
made; and after culture is a source Of
great delight, with fair prospect of be-
ing amply rewarded for the labor be-
slowed.
1t is the practice with some farmers of
my acquaintance to send the boys or SER
wants to shell seed corn, after every other
preparation has been made for planting
the crop, without giving any directions
rs to quality or variety; and if they
possessed the judgment have not time to
make a judicious selection.
If farmer procures good variety of
corn, and pursues such course, it will
soon degenerate to a very common arti-
Gle. Who ever knew a farmer to i'm
prove his stock of cattle or hogs without
wisely selecting the best formed animals
as breeders? But he frequently advises
his neighbor to strengthen his judgment
on some points.
The object of this article is to call at
tention of corn-growers to the great
failure of corn to vegetate in the spring
Of 1852.
There were various conjectures as to
the cause of the failure. Some attrib-
utcd it to the exposure, standing ost
during the winter others to the extreme
cold winter; and some to the fact that it
was not fully matured and dry when the
winter set in. A similar result may be
anticipated this year, and it behooves
every farmer to give this subject more
than ordinary attention at this time.
BY Smelling few grains from several
different ears and examining closely you
can discover an u9patural transparency
in some of the grains or in the grains
from some of the ears.
| have examined some lots of corn in
which this popularity existed throughout.
would advise all who have any mis-
givings about the vegetatiVe powers of
their corn, to test it by sprouting small
quantity before planting. BY such pre-
caution a great deal Of trouble and loss
might be avoided.

GIRDLED TREEs.-We have stated that
n large number of valuable trees have
been girdled, and it was feared DESTROYED
by field mice during the past winter. 1t
is said that these trees may be saved by
inserting into the bark above the place
girtlled the ends of several twigs, and
placing the other ends of these twigs
into the bark below the bare trunk.
The sap thus gains passage into the
upper bark, and in due process of time
new bark is frmed and covers the place
girdled. The experiment has been tried
at the City Institutions, at South Boston,
in past years, and a good crop of apples
obtained in the fall from a tree which in
the spring was completely girdled and t.
all appearances ruined.-Boston Trac

How TO Prove AND PREPARE SEEDS
FOR PLANTING. Take small piece of
white rag, in which tie about half a
thimbie full of the seeds intended to be
proved, of any kind, such as onions,
beets, &C., and boil them twenty min
utes. If they are good, they will sprout
from onc-sixteenth to one-eighth of an
inch. Turnip, cabbage, carrot, or any
other kind of good seed will swell and
burst the skin, more or less, and sprout
little. The seed that will not stand
this ordeal, should not be used. The
farmer, had better put in grain or other
crop, than lose his labor by sowing such
seed all seed should be put in cold rain
water over night, before sowing it will
soften the skin of the seed, and the crop
will be fastened some two or three weeks
more, than if the seed had noe been SO
prepared. Also, all spring grain should
be put into cold rain-water, as before
mentioned. In case of the spring PROV
ing dry, Gas is not unfrequently the
ease, } it would prove to be of the utmost
advantage to the farmer.

To DESTROY THE WHEAT FLY.-Take
orpiment (Which can be procured at any
druggist's) and with lighted charcoal
burn the ofFiment close to the wheat,
any time after sunset and before sunrise,
at the time when tie plant commences to
flower. 1t should be repeated wlsle the
fly is found to exist. One ounce is found
to be sufficient for six acres. Another,
and perhaps equally ellicacious remedy is,
30 soon as the fly is discovered, or the
plants show disposition to open its flow
ers, to carry around the patch of wheat,
strong lights at night, the darker the
Better. The flies viii all rush to the
fires and destroy themselves.

COLUMBIAN GUAN0.


The subscribers are now prepared to furnish
Farmers with the above named article in any
quantities they may require. The Columbian
is new article, of recent discovery and mpor-
tation, and seems to be just the thing our Farm
ers have long wanted.
From the analysis of Dr. W. i. REESE State
Inspector, hereunto annexed it is found to con-
tain largely more of Bone Phosphate Of Lime,
than any other Guano ever discovered. Almost
every Farmer is convinced that in order to get
his land in permanent productive order, phos-
pilates are absolutely necessary. There can be
no permanency without it,
As it seems to be impossible TO supply the de-
mand for Bone Dust Farmers need not, in our
judgment, have the least hesitation in using the
Columbian as a substitute for Bone as it con-
tains nearly double as much phosphoric acid as
the bone, and much cheaper in price, taking the
phosphoric acid as basis. We ask very
careful examination of the analysis of Dr. Reese:
