Receipt for Labor Saving or SOda-Soap.
Take eight pounds of bar soap, eight pounds
Of coarse soda, (the sub carbonate,) ten gal
Ioas of soft water, boiled two hours, stirring it
often. This is to be cooled, and set away for
use. In washing, take pound Of this soap, to
the largest pail Of water, and heat till it boils.
Having previously soaked the white clothes, in
irGrrH, not hot, water, put them in this boiling
mixture, and let them boil one hour and no
more. Take them out, draining them well, and
put them in q tub, half full Of soft water. Turn
them wrong side out rub the soiled places,
ill they look clean then put them into blue
rinsing- water, and wiring them out. They are
then ready to hang out. Some persons use an
other rinsing water. The colored clothes and
fannels must not be washed in this way. The
fine clothes may be first boiled in this water
it may be then used for coarser clothes and
afterwards, the brown towels, and other arti-
cles of that nature, may be boiled in the water.
After this, the water which remains, is still use
full, for washing floors and then, the suds is a
good manure to put around plants.
1t is best to prepare, at once, the whole quan
tity of water TO be used. Take out about one
third, and set it by and every time fresh
supply Of clothes is put in, use a portion of
this, to supply the waste of a former boiling.
Prevention of Pitting in Small Pox.
A writer in the Medical Times and Gazette
says, in regard to this subject, that if the erup
ton be distinct, the solid stick Of nitrate Of sil
yer should be applied to the puStule, previous
" moiStened with little water. If continent,
the concentrated solution ofeight Gcruples to an
ounce of distilled water must be applied over
the whole surface if necessary to apply it to
the scalp, the hair should be previously remoV-
ed. The application should be used on the
second or third day of the eruption. A case Of
continent small pox is related, where no pune
lures were made, in which the strong solution
was applied to the whole of the face and ears
the pustules were Immediately arrested, and in
nine days the eschar had come away from the
face without leaving pits. Another writer rec
onmendG applying solution of the nitrate Of
silver, Of the strength Of one drachm to an
ounce of water, all over the face for ten days or
fortnight, commencing few days after the
eruption makes its appearance and if there be
intense inaammatory action about the head, it
may be applied over the scalp, and also to the
mouth and face.

A NEW VOLUME.

TIE WEEKLY PREss will enter upoH New

To say, merely, that our paper has been sue
cessful, would be to give far too weak and IN
definite an idea of our position-for, not only
has The WEEKLY Press been established on a
secure and permanent foundation, but it Is, IN
reality a marvellous example of the degree of
favor which rightly conducted

can receive at the hands Of q liberal and en-
lightsned public Our most grateful thanks
are rendered for the patronage already bestoW
ed upon us Us, and we shall spare no efforts
which may serve to render the paper even more
attractive, useful, and popular in the future.
The PoLIrIcAL course of the WEEKLY Press
need not be enlarged upon here. Independent
steady, and fearless, it has battled, unTavering,
ly and zealously, in defence of the
RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE
against EXECUTIVE UsuRPATIoS, and unfair and
tyrannical legislation ever declaring and ad-
herring to the doctrine that POPULAR SOVEREIGN
TT constitutes the fundamental basis of our free
institutions, and that the intelligence and patri-
otism of our citizens will always be preserva-
tive of a wise, Just, and salutary government.
These are the principles to which The WEEK

will adhere. .,-ss.,...

Him. for Spring.

y With every year, (sayS the HallOWell, Me-,
Gaxette,) the farmer should grow wiser and
improve upon past systems and usAgss in the
arrangements Of his Affairs. At this day, such
. result is by n means difficult, as is incon-
tsstibly demOhItrAtsd by the experiences Of
thousands who have cast aside the old systems
and gTaybsard notions of the past, adopted
views more in accordance with the require
msnts Of natural laws and the wisdom Of the
times in Whish they live.
Farnsn who do not read cannot make much
progress In improvements, but rather the re-
verse Gnd be who regards the sources Of
kAsElSdgs Is having been exhausted in his
forsfsther'S day, will necessarily retrogads
rather than advance.
In getting In your more important field crops
zee that everything is performed timely, and
in she most perfect manner. The proper prep
arAtiOn cfthe soil for crop, is avery essential
requisite, aad one that exercises a mighty in
hueaoe through all the subsequent stages Gifts
growth.
No farmer would think Of planting one bean
or one ksraal ofcern in hill yet he might as
well do this as 10 pIant the proper number, ant
neglect 10 provide sufficient medium, or the
nutrinsnt requisite to secure their develop
ment and growth. Plough well and deep, har-
row thoroughly, and manure literally, and with
proper attention and care in after culture, there
will be but little doubt Of your obtaininga good
crop.
This is season when every economical cul-
turist will be found attending to his own bust
ness There Is much TO demand personal and
undivided attention, for he who relies upon the
discrimination, 6dslityisnd judgment of "hslps"
without according his own attention to the de-
tails Of the farm, will necessarily lose much
that be might have saved. In the barn, in the
stables, and in the fields, he should be known
and recognized as the Commander in Chief"
Remember that,
"HS who by the plough wsud thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive"
Procure the best seeds. Never plant or sow
grains that have ''run OUT" or in any way BE-
SEINE detsriorRtsd, even the ugh you should be
compelled to pay double price for the other
and better kinds. Make experiments, and no
tiss carefully the results in this way an OBJ
serving farmer acquires much important infer
nation, that will be Of practical benefit to him
through life. In crsss- plsughing, never per-
NIT the plough to run deep enough the second
time to disturb the inverted sward. This is
practice subTersiVS of all good farming, and
ought, therefore, by no means to be indHlged.
