LIME KILNS.

There are various methods Of constructing
these. But the cheapest plan, where it is
practicable, is that adopted by the CONNER
cial lime burners along the Ohio river. Their
method is as follows: A suitable place at
the edge of the river or creek bank, conve-
nient to the limestone, is selected, where
the height of the bank is ten or fifteen feet.
The face of the bank is cut down until it is
smooth and firm. A hole for the kiln is then
Dig upon the bank, just so far back as to
leave the arch four feet deep from the front
to the nearest side of the kiln. The size is
usually about eleven feet in diameter at the
top; thirteen feet at the widest place in the
middle, and about ten feet at the bottom; !;
and the depth, say thirteen feet, more or
less, according to the height of the bank
If the earth is clay, no wall is required
The arch is cut through from the front, and
is about five feet high and about three and
half feet wide This, after it has been
used while and is burned out, is laid up
with masonary even with the inside of the
kiln; below this height is an ash pit twelve
inches deep and eighteen inches wide. Two
long stones extend across the front of the
arch into the wall on each side, which are
several inches thick, and are placed two or
three inches apart, the upper one being two
and a half feet below the top of the arch.

UNDERTAKING..

DR.. C2oua:-I send you my experience in
under-d draining, hoping it may be useful to
many of your readers. There are many of
them, very many of them, that l know,
whose farms are wretehedly in need of an
under-current to carry off the unslghtly
ponds of stagnation that so much disturb
general outlines, breeding malaria, frogs,
snakes, and many other "venimous var
ments," together with bordering of grass
and weeds, that so actively propagate and
distribute their seeds on the surrounding
fields, requiring many hard licks to destroy
The expense is not so great, after all make
up your mind to do it yourself, concluding
beforehand that you possess as much know
ledge of civil engineering as many OF the
"Paddies" who offer you their services.
The ditch should be at least three feet
deep, as narrow at the bottom as is convent
ent to dig, with as much fall as the ground
will admit; have no short turns, and your
ditch is ready for filling.
Now saw off cuts from any green tree, that
will split, eighteen inches long; have fro
that will reach the dian. m.tcl of the cut, split
it into slabs and place the slabs endwise in
the bottom of the ditch, and let them reach
across, leaning on the other side, and lap
ping each other, so as to keep out the dirt ;
procure bushes of any description, (pine tops
are best, } begin atthe head of the ditch, and
place the but doon stream, and fill mp with
bushes, and then fill up with dirt-your ditch
is complete. Plow across it, and you will
not be troubled with moisture anywhere
near its margin. .
A person who never tried it, will be aston
ished at the number of slabs two hands may
get per day as above, but if a saw.will is
convenient, it would perhaps be better to
procure them there l have had such dit
chcs in successful operation for two years,
and don't see why they should not last forty
eight more. I have found open drains almost
entirely useless, besides the trouble of keep
ing them open the water on my grounds
will stand at the very edge, whereas if
furrow could cross them, the water could not
help but "pitch in" Then there is nc
time lost in turning, nor any ground lost in
ditching. Understanding is great inven'
ton. JNO. NJ. c. REED.

THE SECRET OF Success IN TENIpERING
TooIs.-A correspondent, D. I. Wells, Of
Bolivar; Tenn writes us few words res
pecting tempering steel tools He says:-
uI read the communications in No. 81 Scien-
tifc American, from three different persons
on tempering mill picks, neither of whom
gave the true method as I understand it, al
though one comes very near to it. The main
thing in tempering is striking the right heat.
From long experience, have found that the
lowest tempering heat at which steel will
harden when taken out of the fire and dipt
into water is the best. A little experience
with any piece ofsteel will show this to be
so, and different kinds require different de-
grees of heat. 1t is mistake to suppose,
that by raising the temperature of steel for
tempering very high that it will become
harder, and of better temper. Steel is
rendered more brittle by a high heat, but no
harder. AS to the chilling medium, I know
of nothing better than clear cold water"
These views of our correspondent agree
with those of one of the most skilful and ex-
perienced English steel makers-one who
stood in the very first rank in Sheffield, and
who is now known as one Of the best judges
of steel in our country. lie told US, in con-
versation, that every kind of steel required a
different degree of heat in tempering, but
the lowest heat possible was the best, and
the very finest stecls required the lowest

"IN FAVOR OF THE Hoe" John Smith
was tried in Alabama for stealing hog
worth one dollar and half The theft was
proved beyond the shadow of doubt. The
jury retired to an adjoining grove of trees
to make up their verdict, and were not long
out before they returned with verdict of
equity of hog stealing in fust degree" ," The
Judge told them the verdict was proper, ex-
cept that they had omitted to assess the val
ue of the property, and that there was no de-.
gree to hog stealing, and to retire again and
bring in their verdict in proper "form. -
Again they retired with pen, ink and paper,
but rather nonplussed with regard to the
"form." They pondered long and deeply
over what he meant by form. At last old
Turner, who had been justice of the peace
in Georgia, wrote the verdict and returned
to the court house One after another they
fled in; old Jim handed the verdict to the
clerk with anxious pomposity, and sat down.

A DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER, PUBLISHED AT
RICHMOND, VA.
I'D EFORE the close Of the present month, the
I'D subscriber will issue the first number of n
newspaper which he proposes to publish in Daily
and Semi weekly editions, and which he intends
to devote to the service of the South the interests
of the State, and to the support of the principles
of the Democratic Party. But the paper will not
be so exclusively political, that its columns will
only interest the politician; nor so snbserVent to
party as to spare the misconduct of bad men, to
betrny principle for the sake of power or to dcs-
pse its convictions the suggestion of expediency
I shall endeayor to commend it to intelligent
persons of all classes, by diligence in the coec-
ton Of news, by mparting something of agricul-
tural, commercial and literary interest to its col
umns, and by vcnturing an outspUken and emphat-
c opinion on the topics of the day no matter what
the hazard of conflict with prejudice or of offence
to the sclf.nppoipted feeders Of party. The organ
of no CLIQUE, in the interest of no faction, and
with no partial purpose to serve, the paper will
address itself to the honest judgment Of the peo
pie, and for support will rely upor the apprecia-
ton Of energy and enterprise, and their love of
plain talk and independent opinion. There may
be particular individuals to whom this sort Of dis
cussion will not be very acceptable, but if can
conoiliate the favor Of the masses, may survive
the opposition OF ignorant or interested critics.
No doubt scrvile spirits will be shocked Mt my zeal
in the defence of the South; still have the con-
solatory assurance that there are plenty of brave
and true men in Virginia, upon whose sympathy
and support may rely with absolute security
And 50 believing, I embark upon the enterprise

RECIPE FOR ScRATcHEs.-Take common
bar lead and melt it, as you would to mould
bullets; then take -four Of sulphur and sprin-
kle on it until the lead is entirely burnt to a
powder. 1t must then be pounded to a fine
powder, and suffciency of hogs lard ad-
ded to it, to make good ointment of proper
consistence. Now trim the hair we'll from
the diseased part, and wash clean with soap
and warm water twice each day, and then
rub this ointment on we'll with corncob.-
This treatment will cure the worst case of
scratches or foot evil in a few days.-Cotton

RECIPE FOR SwINNEY.-Tbis is a certain
remedy. Take OF. spts. turpentine, l or.
spts. hartshorn, l OF. sweet oil, and or.
gum camphor. Put the whole in bottle,
and shake it up we'll and then wash the
horses shoulder with warm water and soap
to moisten the skin, then apply the ointment
from the bottle. The best way is to put it
on at the top of the shoulder blade and rub
it down until we'll rubbed in. One to two
tablespoonful at a time is quite sufficient
1t may take the hair off, but that will make
no difference, as it will grow out again. 1t
will also make the part very sore. This is a
sovereign, though not barbarous remedy
for swinney, and it is only necessary to per-
severe in the remedy for few weeks to ef-
feet q certain cure.-D.
