CoRRos1oN OF IRoN.-In the univer-
sal use made at the present day OF ron
as a building material, it is found neces-
sarv to observe great care in joining it
to other materials. When connected
with wood, it causes decay of the adj
Joining parts; when with stone, it im-
parts it's color by rusting: and when
used for roofing, or other purposes
-wllerei it is joined together in plates, it
corrodes and damages not only itself,
but everything around it. From some
examinations which have been made of
the materials employed to protect the
bottom of iron ships, it would appear
that nothing can be worse for the iron,
at any rate when submerged in salt wa,
ter, than red lead. Upon inspecting a
ship which has been on a voyage to
Calcutta and back, the red lead coating
was found to be covered with blisters
upon opening which a clear fluid es-
capcd, and left the surface of the iron
within covered with bright crystals of
metallic lead. Each of these blistcrs,
it was affirmed, was a minute galvanic
battery-so that, as wherever there is
electrical, there must be also, chemical
action, the corrosion of the iron was
easily accounted for. 1t was finally
recommended that red lead should new
or be applied to sca-going steamers. 1t
is stated that a pile of cannon balls
coated with the usual paint and left in
the open mir, will in the ourse OF twenty
years become quite useless.
The discovery of the effect of a coat
ing of zinc upon iron in an exposed
situations has very much extended the
use of this valuable material. Metals
which do not have the same affinity for
oxygen, when placed in contact pro-
duce al. electrical current which passes
from that having the most, to that hav-
ing the least, affinity for oxygen. The
zine applied to iron not only acts as Il
direct coating, but protects it from gal
vanic influence by its more c%lcctro-pos-
tive character.

PLANTING LAwroN BLACKBERRIEs.-
The remarkable growth of the Lawton
Blackberry in this county demands for
it a much larger space than is usually
given to it, and from our observation
and experience we are led to recon-
mend the following plan:
Selecta very rich piece of fine-grained
land, a sandy, black loan. Let it be
very deeply sub-soiled, to give the roots
power to draw up moisture. Repeated
plowings, to make the soil perfectly
fine, is better. Then plant the vines
in rows eight feet apart, and six feet
apart in the rows. Shorten the plants
when set out. Water them when
planted, if the earth is not moist. After
the first year, the vines will always re-
quirc pruning, to induce them to yield
~cxtra-sized berries.-CaL. Farmer.

CONVERTING Bones INTO SUPERpnos-
PHATE.-If you have not a bone-mill,
you must break the bones with sledge-
hammers, and after with smaller ones,
to reduce the bones to as small a size
as possible; provide tubs, or a brick
tank of sufficient capacity, to put in
the bones, saturate them with hot wa
ter-pour in as much as they will alb
sorb, but no more. Pour in sulphuric
acid in the proportion of Sc pounds
of the acid to 112 pounds of dry bones,
stir the mass frequently, and in about
II week it will be fit for use; first alb
:sorbing the mass to a sufficiently dry
state for distribution, by mixing with
it dry earth, bog mould, ashes or peat
charcoal in sufficient quantity. AS the
dissolved bones lose by evaporation, it
would be better to put off the process
of dissolving until it is required for
use; it will then be perfectly disinteg.
rated n decomposed in time for use.
If tanks or tubs are not convenient,
the process may be effected by saturating
the bones on a dry floor under cover,
and mixing them up with acid, as NOR
tar is tempered, and Immediately COW
ering up the heap with drying matcri-
ais, and left to digest for a week or ten
days, when it is turned over and thor
oughly mixed with the drying materi-
als.-Lrish Farmers Gazette.

A plentiful supply Of pure blood is as essential
to animal life as light, heat, and genial showers are
to the vegetable kingdom. When the proper cir
~culation Of the vital fluid is impcded, sickness is
the inevitable consequence, the secretions become
unhealthy, the liver becomes cloggcd with impure
bile, which, forced into the system, vitiates and in-
flames tho blood, engendcring ~scrofula and cutane-
GUS and hillary disorders. The experience of six.
teen years has fully established the high repu,s.
ton of this invaluable medicine; its curative pow.
ers have been thoroughly tested in lorg-standing
and obstinate cases, with such invariablc success
as to call forth the most fattering commentator
from eminent physicians throughout the county.

Amid the excitement growing put of the
war and the formation of new regiments, let
not the farmers holiday be overlooked. Our
armies are of the first importance, but here,
among the producers of our beef, pork, and
corn, is the real commssariat, without which
our armies could never take the field.
The prospects for the exhibition are highly
encouraging. Twenty-one teams have enter
ed for the blowing match, which will take
place on the new common, the city govern.
ment having wisely permitted it to be taken
for the purpose, with view to its being here
after properly graded and prepared for mill
tary parade ground, for which it is better
adapted than the beautiful grounds of the soci
ETY., to which we are now solely indebted for
the only suitable place for parade or encamp-
ment within reasonable distance of the city.
Several important changes have been recent.
socieiy's grounds, which will add to the con.
venience of the public, and to the interest of
the exhibition. The long ranges of pens,
which formerly extended entirely across the
area within the track, having been removed
to accommodate the troops recently encamped
there a portion of them have been placed in
the northwest corner of the grounds in double
parallel rows, sufficient for the sheep, swine,
and such of the neat stock as can not safe
ly or conveniently be exhibited, other
wise. Strong iron staples and rings have
been set in the stone posts in the
fence along the west and north sides of the
enclosure for such cattle us can be tied. The
animals exhibited in this way can be seen to
much better advantage than when enclosed
and partially hidden in the pens. The steers
and working oxen will be ranged in a continu.
GUS line along and outside Of the track. The
seats for spectators which formerly stood OPP.
site the judges stand, having become unsafe
FROM exposure to the weather, have been en-
tirely removed. The grounds never looked
better. The track is in splendid condition.
In consequence of the removal of the pens,
the spectators can from any part of the ground
watch the progress of the race over the entire
course with nothing to obstruct the view. If
we can judge from the array of fine horses dali
y praciicng over the course, we shall expect
some fine sport on Friday. The official no.
.ices in our columns will give information of
the chow. To prevent the confusion usually
seen at the gates, it is intended that admission
to the grounds shall be confined to the gates on
Agricultural street, and that carriage, shall
leave only through the gate on Highland
street.

From the New York Evening Post, Sept Is.
Lieutenant Colonel Burke, the efficient com
mandant of Forts Hamilton and Lafayette,
thoroughly understands his duties respecting
the strict guardianship of the rebels and trai
