you should cleanse your granaries: for the
mode, we refer to our remarks last month.
But as we consider the cleansing granaries
worthy of attention, we will premise that
however effective the mode of destroying the
weevil recommended by NJ. Caillat, we
think, that previous to relying upon it, the
granary should be thoroughly cleansed. In
the first place, the floors, walls and ceiling
should be carefully swept, the dirt, cobwebs
and insects gathered and burnt-not swept
out of doors Then the entire, interior Of
the granary should be secured with hot ley,
made strong, and when dry, the whole room,
from floor to ceiling, should be whitewashed.
Such cleansing would probably destroy the
weevil that proves so destructive to stored
grain.
/ We have seen it stated that by sprinkling
lime through the grain, it would preserve it
from the ravages Of the weevil.
The following plan is the one pursued by
the late Hon. William Carmichael, a former
resident of Queen Anne's county in this
State. We published it in 1S48, and since;
but as it is one of those things that bear re-
peating, we republish it for the benefit of our
readers, and especially Of our new subscrib-
ers and we do so with the more pleasure,
as it proceeded from a gentleman Of great
agricultural experience, close observation,
and lover of truth, and hence to be impli-
city relied upon. In his letter to us, he says:
Il last summer saw some publications in
your paper in relation to the weevil-fy and
black weevil The weevil-fy deposits its
egg in the grain in its green and tender state.
If the wheat is threshed soon after harvest,
and thrown into bulk, it undergoes heat
which destroys the egg, and it sustains nc
injury; but if it remains long in the shock OF
stalk, the weevil hatches and makes its way
out of the grain, to its great injury, both in
weight and quality. One degree to the north
of us, this pernicious insect is but little
known. Here [ have oftentimes marked its
absence for several years; but, after mild
winter, they generally appear. In the more
southern States, believe, they are never
absent"
1.-The Black WeevI haunts our granaries,
where they are generated. Some years ago
1 suffered much injury from them, but I
have now an effectual defence. When my
granaries are clear of grain, I place powder
ed birthstone in an earthan pan, which for
safety put on the floor in bed of sand,
closing doors and windows, and fire it; the
smoke either destroys or drives them off,
LATE POTATOES. Keep these clean, and
at the last working, top-dress them, as ad-
vised last month.
FENCES. examine all your
fences, panel by panel, and have all neces-
sary repairs made, as weak points provoke
the attacks Of stock when stinted for pasture,
as they mostly are at this season of the year.
TURN1Ps. s.-If of sufficient size thin them
out so as to stand about inches apart.

BE A FARMER.-To every young man
who desires a long, useful, Independent and
happy life-one of few cares and anxieties-
be farmer; or, in the language Of the
Louisville Courier, eff a young man wants
to engage in business that will insure him,
in middle life, the greatest amount of lei
sure time, there is nothing more sure than
farming. If he has an Independent turn Of
mind, let him be a farmer If he wants to
engage in a healthy occupation, let him till
the soil. In short, if he would be indepen-
dent, let him get spot of earth, keep with
in his means, shun the lawyer, be tempe
rate, and avoid the doctor, be honest, have
a clear conscience, improve the soil, so as
to leave his farm better than he found it );
and then, if he cannot live happily and die
content, there is no hope for him."

From the American Farmer.
WORK FOR THE MONTH,
SEPTEMBER,

| In the hope that our advice may be avail
ed of, we shall briefly call attention to such
matters on the farm as should be attended to
to this month, and as timely action is con-
ducive to success, we will remark, the sooner
they are attended to, the better will the re-
suits prove. -
RYE.-If circumstances have occurred to
prevent you from getting your rye seeded,
make an effort to get it in by the 10th of
the month and in preparing your land
don't presume that because rye will grow
with less manure than wheat, that it. can
grow productive crop without any. IF
you look to your rye crop for prof, you
must feed the earth in order. that there may
be something therein to afford sustenancet to
the rye plants during their growth, as we'll
as for the formation of the grain.
Of Manure. With regard to manure, we
will as general thing remark, that about
one half the quantity requisite to grow q
good crop of wheat, the season permitting,
will ensure good crop Of rye.

RULES FOR HOME EDUCATION.

1. From your children's earliest infancy
inculcate the necessity of obedience.
2. Unite frmness with gentleness. Let
your children always understand that what
you say you mean.
g., Never promise them anything unless
you are quite sure you can give them what
you promise.
4. If you tell little child to do some-
thia1s-alA Il -l.4>--- Il = L--1
is done.
5. Always punish your children for will
fully disobeying you, but never punish them
in anger.
6. Never let them perceive that they
vex you or make you lose your self COM
mand.
7. If they give way to petulance and tenn
per, wait till they calm, and then gently
reason with them on the improperly of their
conduct.
s. Remember that a little present pun
ishment, when the occasion arises, is much
more efectual than the threatening of a
greater punishment should the fault be re-
newed.
9. Never give your children anything be-
cause they cry for it.
10. On no account allow them to do at
one time what you have forbidden under like
circumstances at another.
H. Teach them that the only sure and
easy way to appear good is to be good.
12 Accustom them to make their little
recitals with perfect truth.
13. Never allow tale bearing.
IA. Teach them that self denial, not sell
indulgence of an angry and resentful spirit,
will make them happy.

Retreat Of Capt. Orrey Party from Cavorca
The Editor of the San Francisco Herald, in CONVEX
sation with Major Wood, of the survivors of the
Cnbb expedition, says he learned some interesting
particulars of the retreat of Capt Orreys party from
Cavorca TO the Purchase. II is one of the most bril-
liant military exploits record and reflects no little
honor upon the Amrican arms We clip the following
from the Herald:
While retreatng slowly across the plain above al
uded to, both parties made for spring at dis
tance from them There was other water except
at distance of thirty miles, and it was a matter of
considerable importance, in consequence of the ex-
hausted coditon of men and animals 10 either party
to gain possession of it. The Americans had no ami
mails days before they were obliged to abandon them
but the ready to drop from thirst. To reach
the wells first was matter of life or death to them
If the Mexicans succeeded in gaining them first their
fate sealed for it would be impossible for them to
hold out any longer. They put forward the most ex-
traordinary exertons-the hope of relief nerved them
and they finally succeeded in gaining little hlock,
from which the wells were commanded Here they
made their stand, like the wolf at bay, and bravely
did they maintain it. They kept the Mexcans all
day from the water and occasionally as one of them,
driven to desperation through the want of water in
burning desert, showed his person ncautiously the
crack of the unerrng rifles of the Americans told his
doom and in one instance the horse of one Of the
Mexicans who had been made to bite the dust as soon
as the hold on the reins relaxed guided by ami
NAL instinct, rushed to the water, and was made
prize of by the Americans, and to them he proved
valuable booty In the saddlehags they found little
tobacco and some articles of food, which, when di-
vded among the exhausted little band aroused their
vigor again, and the horse was killed ami his flesh,
when broied furnished them with nourshment for the
three following days of their retreat. Before gaining
the frontier Of their desperate situation reached
the inhabitants of the Purchase. some Of whom sent
out animals and provisions to them, and they were
saved. Most of the rereating made in the night
time under cover of darkness the enemy was re-
duced to something like equality. The days were
too hot for marching Such Is brief sketch of the
treat of twenty-five Americans through 100 or ITO
miles of hostile country pressed on all sides by
large force an enemy flushed with recent victories We
believe that history furnishes brilliant ex
ample of bravery and determination.
