STRYCHNINE.

The scource of strychnine, one of the most
powerful polsons, is not generally known. In
the Island Of Ceylon, and in several districts in
India, the tree grows, from whose seed the poi-
son is prepared. The tree is of moderate size,
with crooked stem and thick shining leaves
In the fruit season it is readily recognized by its
orange colored berries, about as large as golden
pippns. The rind is hard, smooth, and covers
white soft pulp on which many kinds of birds
feed, and within are fat round seeds, less than
an inch in diameter. The seeds are ash grey in
color, and are covered with silky hairs. This
tree is the strvchnine nur uomica, and the seed
is the poison nut. The HindooS have long used
the nut as medicine, and lis nature and prop
critics were understood by their doctors long be-
fore its existence even was known to the west
ern nations. The natives Of India often take it
for many months continuously, much as opium
eaters use opium. They commence with Ia
king the eighth of nut day, and gradually
increase the allowance TO an entire nut. They
generally eat it Immediately before or after ta-
king food, as eating it at other times produces
spasms. OF course the frequent or habitual use
OF il leads to fatal consequences.

Peach ReCiDeS.

In anticipation of the "good time coming"
send you few recipes for the preparation and
preservation of peaches. | have thoroughly
tested most of them, and pronounced them
good. You can judge of their merits and treat
accordingly.
Peach Preserves.-Peaches if preserved whole
should be gathered before they are fully ripe;
and coook tender in little water. If in quar-
ters, crack the pits Of half the peaches and
add TO them. Let the Sirup simmer down
quite thick before adding it to free from heat and
moisture.
Picked Peaches.-Take any kind of fine
large peaches that are not too ripe, wipe of the
down with soft flannel cloth, place three or
four cloves ia each, and lay them whole IN d
jar. To every gallon of vinegar add quart OF
water, pounds of sugar, tablespoonful OF salt
and whole cinnamon. Pour it over the fruit
boiling hot, being careful that the vinegar COW
ers them well, and let them turn off the llq-
uor and boil as before, after which they are
ready to be set away in the store room TOR tu-
ture USE.
Peach Jelly may be made in th> usual way.
When very ripe mash and strain through ajelly
bag or sieve. Allow pound Of loaf sugar to a
pint of Juice, half ounce of bitter almonds blan-
chpd and pounded, or half of the kernels OF
the stones. If it does not form readily add
isinglass.
Peach Marmalade. Mash to fine pulp anc
add sugar in the proportion of the swretmeat'
and simmer down: it should be smooth, thick
mass. Put away in large tumberS.
Peaches in Brandy.-Wipe, weigh and care
fully select the 6rmpSt fruit; have ready quar-
ter of their weight to powdered loaf sugar, Pu
the fruit in vessel that closes tightly, throw
the sugar over and cover with brandy. Place
piece of double fooscap under the cover anc
place the jar in saucepan Of water until th'
water is quite hot, but not boiling; when cold, til
the cover down tightly SO that no air can pen
citrate.
Peach Wine.-Take nearly ripe fruit, ston,
it and bruise to plump, put eight pounds of th
pulp 10 one quart of water and let stand twenty
four hours; then strain out the juice, and L
every gallon add two pounds of sugar. Turr
into a cask, and when fermented and becom
perfectly clear, cork tightly in bottles.

Il AgriluItnraI.
ARTIFICIAL MANURES.

Scarcely anything has advanced the progress
# agriculture so much as the introduction ofar-
ifcial manures. Their application is an improve
nent in farming, which may be regarded as the
Seginning of new epoch. BY their means the
produce of this country has doubled, new crops
have been introduced, and land SO sterile that II
would not repay cost of cultivation in the usual
way, has been forced TO yield productive crops.
Before the introduction Of bones, phosphate of
lime, and guano, the culture of root crops in their
present extended state was unknown. At this
time green crops cannot be raised economically
without some addition of one kind or other to the
ordinary manure produced on the farms There
are few farms in this country on which home
manure is produced annually and in sufficiently
large quantities to bring the land TO its required
fertility. Portions of land, consequently, must
remain in condition in which it cannot yield
quick and remunerative profit TO lis occupier
unless he has recourse to some kind of artificial
manure.
Even supposing the land to be in such cond-
ton as to yield the maximum return wdich the
usual rotation of crops is capable Of furnishing,
the extra command of artificial manures would
still increase largely the profits of the farmer, and
would enable him to dispense with those crops
which are not remunerative, and to replace
them by others which require larger dose of
manure, but which also yield larger profit.
On large farms, the carting and spreading ot
dung is attended with heavy expense, and far
mers, by hauling their dung on the field nearest
the barn-Yard, and using artificial manureS in
the more remote situations, would be greatly the
gamers.
All means, therefore, which may enable the
farmer TO supply himself with manures, mast be
regarded as valuable, and the attempt TO convert
refuse matter from chemical aud other works in
10 fertilizers deserve much encouragement
