ECONOMY OF FUEL, - correspondent Of the
Philadelp phia Ledger gives some account of a
simple apparatus for warming houses lately set
up in New York on the premises of Mr.. Heck. Z.

naces, de-, into the shade The writer says !:
lie now warns his whole premises, consist.
ing of block ofthree houses, with out.houses
and stables, at weekly expense for coal of
$3.50, thereby warming the whole with hot
vaper, produced from Two barrels of water
which lasts a week. The same, when arrived
at its highest elevation, is there condensed and
returns again as water to the small reservoir
below, where it again forms vapor, TO again as
cend for the process. The same premises, be =
fore, cost S66 per week, for the necessary
quantity Of coal then consumed The new
apparatus costs but little, and is capable of be.

PLowING LAND-In his address before the
Couvlland County IN, " Agricultural Socie-
ty, the Hon. A. B. DICKINSON we'll says:
The first thing for farmer to note when he
commences plOwing field, is to see il there
are any wet or spriugy places, and If So to
commence plowing so as to make bis back fur
rows at the lowest places in the field and his
dead furrows on the dryest and highest land,
by which he can draw the water to some con.
venient ditch on the farm or on the road side.--
lie should pow bis land, whether it is diapo
nal or square, exactly the way by which he
can draw the falling water at the slowest pos
sible rate, and have it run. For those who
jplow in the fall this is more essential, as The
rains are much heavier late in the fall and ear
y in the spring, and ruinous waste is made
of farms by washing any portion of the sol
away

resolution relating to cattle premiums, and sew

referred TO a committee eoasiting Of Springer,
Millikin. Blickensderfer, Dunn, and kum'--
we believe this committee did not report
Now, suffer me, my friend, to correct you IN
this matter. That committee did report, on
the afternoon Of the first day, to full house,
the following resolutions on the subject refer
red to them, which passed without opposition.
| Res. |, That the State Board Of Agriculture
be requested TO take into consideration the pro-
priety Of 90 regulating their premium list as to
offer awards for cattle according their uses say
Tor dairy, working and beef purposes, and not
for different breeds, as heretofore.
Res. 2. That the Board be also requested
TO take such measures as win ascertain from
practical tests which breeds are the best for the
several uses above named.
