able to furnish better saws than ever made before
fatters himself he can furnish better and Cheaper
Null for the purpose of making Lumber, than ever
offered to the public.
These mills do their work with less power and
in better style and with greater saving of lumber
than the Gate or Muley Mill-can be used in any
ordinary mill frame, and with any good power that
runs Gate or Muey Mill, and do double the
work, it is estimated in the same time; and for
simplicity and durability, all that can be reas
onably desired. They will saw all kinds of timber

Caution.-Persons are most respectfully re-
quested to beware of whom they purchase Circular

be used with success and profit without Pages

The consis.euce Of strong glue; when one
ounce aud half of well.boiled linseed oil
must be added, and the whole well incorpo
rated by stirring.
10 increase the strength OF the glue, more

This cement is applicable to the joining
of wood in every branch Of manufactures
as also to joining earthware, china, anc
glass-care being taken to press the parts
we'll together and 10 allow them sufficient
time to set.
The cement, when cold, and made into
cakes, assumes the appearance oil lndis
rubber, and like it, is elastic.
1t may, at any time, be dissolved in
proper iron or glazed earshen vessel, putting
in a little mild ale, to prevent it burning al
the bottom Of the vessels. To cemeul
leather together, for harness, bands for ma
cLincry, &c, apply the cement while hot,
laying weight upon each joint. LIE, them
remain fer six hours before using, aud the
joints will then become as firm US if of one
entire piece OF leather.
Another is formed by adding to solution
of gum-anlmouiac in proof spirit, some

The cement is much employed by entomo
ogis,s, III joining the disIccatcd parts OF
insects. for which purpose it is exceedingly
convenient.
The joints Of steam pipes may tie fitted,
by placing between them cloths coated with
Il mixture Of wheaton flour and the whites

hardened by the hot vapors.
Flour paste may be much improved in
strength, by Incorporating powdered rosin
while boiling. This paste binds to glass
with great frmness. lis binding qualities
may be irnnrovedby stirring in small piece
Of wax.
1t is said that paste composed Of bean

BrpDvGs.-In answer TO an inquiry, Dr..
Holmes, of the Maine Farmer, gives the
following There are various preparations
which are death to bedhuys." One OF
them is cnc.half ounce corrosive subliuialc,
dissolved in d pint Of Ium. This is poison
enough to l>any bug or amy body.
Another preparation is lh;s:-Spirits Of
Turpensire, one.half pint; soft soap, halt
pint; all shook up together.
The best method we ever found to clear
room or house of bedbugs, where they
get into the chirks and crevices OF the wall,
is to take out the furniture and burn sulphur
there. The fumes will kill them wherever
they penetrate. We have kuowu bedbuss to
live in house that had not been occupied
by anybody for more than year.
