AN EXCELLENT WHITEwAsH.-An ex-

be made of Paris white, thirty-three pounds
and Cooper's white glue, one pound. Put
the glue to soak in cold water over night
in the morning slowly heat until dissolved
in the water. Then mix both, and add hot
water to reduce to proper milk consistency,
and apply with brush. Ii is probably bet
ter to keep the liquid warm over fire, or
by the occasional addition Of hot water, A
single coat of this is described as being equal
to double coat of lime whitewash, it is far
more brilliant and pure, and will not rub off.

IMPORTANCE OF FALL PLowING.-ln the
fall of 1855, I had field wished to SOW in
wheat the following spring. The ground
being in fine condition to plow in January,
I thought it would forward my work in the
spring to plow it, and I did so, taking pains
to throw it into beds IL feet wide, (the
ground being naturally moist,) and cleaning
out the dead burrows we'll. As soon as the
spring opened, or rather before the frost was
out of the grouud, gave it light dressing
of manure and sowed my wheat, Il bushels
to the acre, narrowing it in both ways
thoroughly. The result was SS5 bushels
of wheat to the acre, weighing 81 pounds to
the bushel. + tried it next fall for oats,
leaving part of the same field till spring, when
I plowed it we'll and sowed the whole with
oats, managing it all precisely the same way,
except the time Of plowing; and the result
was in favor of the fall plowing at least one
quarter. I also tried the same experiment
on my corn ground, and the result was about
the same. Indeed, so marked was thedlf-
erence, that it could readily be seen to row
all the fore part of the season. Now, l
would just say to farmers, try it for your:
selves, as experience is the best feather; and
1 think you will be satisfied that turning up
the soil loosely in the fall, and leaving 1t to
the action of the frost through the winter,
thus pulverizing all the hard Jumps Or partl-
cles, will better fit it for crop than you can
fit it in the spring saying nothing about the
benefit of having your spring work we'll
started in the fall, when your team is strong
and in good condition., and other work not
crowdinp.

HINTS ABOUT POTATO ToPs.-A NeN

HINTS ABOUT Potato ToPs.-A New
York potato cultivator says:
The potato itself exhausts the soil but
very little, as its elements are derived main
ly from the atmosphere the potato top
exhausts more than any other vegetable, as
its elements are derived more from the soil.
Potato tops, then, should all be carefully
buried when and where they are dug. If
this practice were universally followed, no
crop would exhaust the soil less. Let the
farmer try the experiment, and write the
result for the benefit of others.

When COWS begin to bawl;

And frogs begin to squall.

About some eight or ten;
Of barking dogs and mewing cats,

When nights are warm and hot;
When pic-uics oft are plenty,
But bread and bacon not.
The girls then have their shoulders bare
And half distract the men

When lection time comes on,
And barbecues and whiskey stews,
And fun are all the ton.
IT'S then the women all complain,
Or tantalize the men

I would not wed in winter,
For who would spend their breath
In keeping cool some scolding fool,
Or else be teased to death.
Then is the time to court the girls,
And have Christmas ball

To DO UP MUSLIN CURTAINs.-There
is a better way to do up muslin window
curtains after washing, than ironing. The
way is, after starching, to spread the curtains
upon the carpet of an unoccupied room,
stretching and pinning them down ct inter-
walls of six or eight inches, thus to remain
till dry. The operation is much more ex-
peditious and easy than ironing, and the gen.
eral verdict is that curtains look far better
than when done up in the common way.

NAILS IN FRUIT TREEs.-A singular
fact and one worthy of being recorded, was
mentioned to us few days since by Mr.
Alexander Duke of Albemarle. He stated
that whilst on a visit to neighbor, his at
tentiou was called to large peach orchard,
every tree in which was totally destroyed BY
the ravages of the worm, with the exception
of three, and these were the most thrifty
and fourishing peach trees he ever saw
The only cause of their superiority known to
this host, was an experiment made in conse'
queuce of observing that those parts OF worm
eaten timber into which nails had been
driven, were generally sound. When his
trees we're about year old, he had selected
three Of them and driven ten penny nail
trough the body as near the ground as pos.
sible: whilst the balance of his orchard bad
gradually failed and finally yielded entirely to
the ravages of the worms, these three trees
selected at random, treated precisely in the
same manner, with the exception of the nail
ing had always been vigorous and healthy,
furnishing him at that very period with the
greatest profusion of the most luscious fruit:
1t is supposed that the salt Of iron afforded !
by the nail is offensive to the worm, whilst
it is harmless, or pehaps even beneficial to
the tree.
A chemical writer on this subject says;
The oxydation or rusting of the iron by
the sap evolves ammonia, which as the SAP
rises, will of course impregnate every part Of
the foliage, and prove too severe dose fol
the delicate palate ofintruding. insects
This writer recommends driving half
dozen nails into the trunk. Several expert
ments of the kind have resulted successfully

HEROIC DEVOTION TO HIS ART.-Mrs
Mathews, in her "Auecdotes of Actors"
gives an amusing instance Of this. In that
scene in the play of the Committee where
Obediah has to swallow, with feigned reluc-
tauce, the contents Of a black quart bottle
administered by league, Muuden was obser-
we'd one night to throw an extra amount of
comicality and vigor into his resistance, so
much so that Johnstone (Irish Johnstone)
the league of the occasion, fired with mu-
tual enthusiasm, forced him to drain the bot
tie to the last drop. The effect was tremeu-
dous. The audience absolutely screamed
with laughter, and Obadiah was born off
half dead, and no wonder. The bottle, which
should have contained sherry and water, was
by some mistake half filled with the rankest
lamp.oil. We will let Mrs. Mathews tell
the rest: When the sufferer had in some
degree recovered from the nausea the acci-
dent caused, Mr.. Johnstone marvelled why
Munden should have allowed him, after his
first taste, to pour the whole of the disgust
ing liquid down his throat. Itwould' John
stone said, shave been easy to have rejected
or opposed a repetition of it, by limiting the
mistake to him. Mr.. Munden's reply-by
gasps-was as follows My dear boy-I was
about to do so-but there was such glori-
Gus roar at the first face made upon swal-
lowing it, that I hadn't the heart to spoil
the scene by interrupting the effect, though

the accursed stuff down my throat

THE BEST WAY TO FATTEN HoGs.-A
pig or hog will improve faster, when alone
in a pen, than when shut up and fattened in
company with others. Although can assign
no satisfactory reason for this, unless it be
that the solitary hog is more quiet and undis-

who are willing to try the experiment, will
find it to be fact.

cannot doubt; read also the following.
D@s The HAIR.-People have for centuries
been afflicted with bsldheads and the only rem
edy, heretofore known, has been those abominsble
wigs. By recent discovery Of Professor Wood
these articles are being fast dispensed with but
great many persons still patronze them, be.
cause they have been 80 often imposed upon BY
Hair Tonics Of different kinds. To all such per-
sons we earnestly make the request that they
will try ence again, for in Woods Restorative
there is no such thing as fail. We know Of q Ia.
dy who was bald, whe used the article short
time, and her head Is now covered completely with
the tiniest and most beautiful curls imaginable
We know Of numerous cases where hair was rap
idly falling out, which it restored in greater per-
fection than it ever had been before.
1t is also without doubt one Of the best articles
for keeping the hair in good condition, making it
soft and glossy, removing dandruf, and has proved
itself the greatest enemy to ell the ills that hair
is heir to.
1t is the duty of every one to improve their
personal appearance though some may differ in
regard to the ways Of doing it; but every one
will admit that beautiful head of hair, either in
man or woman, is an object much to be desired,
and there are no means that should be left untred
