Useful SOAP.

A soap for chapped hands is thus made
and said to be excellent:
Take one bar Of yellow soap, cut it up
small, add TO it the gall of beet, put it
over the fire until the soap is entirely
melted, a Elrina kcttleis the most conye-
nient to melt it in; then add one ounce
of fine pulvcrised saltpetre and one pint
of alchohol; pour it into a vessel previ-
ously creased, of a size to make the soap
at least ono inch thick. When firm
enough to cut, before it hardens, cut it in.
to cakes of a convenient size. This soap
will be found excellent for taking grease
spots out Of woolcns and silks, and is a
capital preventive Of chapped hands.

CoRS! Corn !!-No one can compute,

ter and misery which will come upon us
as people, should we fail to produce this
year the most abundant grain crop-not
such crops as have been called abundant
heretofore-but such yield as will ad-
NIT of waste in the ordinary operations
Of war, and perhaps some considerable
destruction from the enemy. A short
crop or failure may be our ruin as u
people, for We cannot starve and fight
A scanty corn crop is far more to be
dreaded than anything our enemy can do
to injure US. The planter who is insane.
ly ncglecting his corn crop for cotton now,
is unwittingiy fighting the battles of Lin
coin. A good hand in the field is worth
as much to our cause as good soldier in
the ranks, and the planter who is using q
hundred such hands to produce only corn
enough to feed themis striking fell blow
at the cause Of his country. If you are
not sure you are doing your part towards
al abundant corn cror, set about it now
in Gods name. One of our correspon.
dents says "plow up the cotton" Yes!
plow it up, if need be. Look out for
corn first, last and all the time.

Very SeaSOnble Advice.

In the Dollar Newspaper appear some
good hints on Corned Beef: We copy
them and advise particular attention to
the subject. Many beeves will be killed
this year to eke out our home rations.
It's well TO know how to cure and cook
them. Says the authority before US:
''There are two or three things to br
done in order to procure this great luxury
of the table In the first place, then, do
not get your meat too salt, it makes it
tough and tasteless. Do not allow it to
remain over two weeks in the first brine,
for it takes up all the blood that was in
the meat, and consequently ought to b,
drained off as the meat will be much more
likely to be injured than it will when
separated and replaced with fresh made
brine, but more especially in warm
weather. In this way it will keep with
just sufficient salt to season it. In the
second place, the cooking is of just as
much importance as the corning; it should
be boiled at least four hours, or until il
can be cut and eaten as readily as piece
of soft bread Not one half ofthe domes.
tics cook their meat long enough. Try it
once, and you will see the difference.
My meat prepared in this way can be
eaten with q relish, and is easily digested.

Drinking Impure Water.

1t is a good rule to drink water fresh
from the spring or well, every time you
need it, and only when you really need it.
The evil of keeping water on hand, espe-
cially in confined rooms, is thus shown
up by one who seems to know what he is
talking about:
"Set pitcher of iced water in room,
inhabited, and in few hours it will have
absorbed from the room nearly all the
respired and perspired gases Of the room,
the air Of which will have become purer,
but the water utterly filthy. This de.
pends on the fact that water has the tacul.
ty of condensing and thereby absolving
nearly all the gases, which it does without
increasing its own bulk. The colder the
water is, the greater tr capacity to con.
tain these gases. At ordinary tempera
lures pint of water will contain pint
of carbonic acid gas, and several pints of
ammonia. This capacity is snearly doubled
by reducing the temperature 10 that Of
ice. Hence waterkept in the room awhile
is always unfit for use, and should be often
renewed, whether it has become warm or
not. And for the same reason, the water
in pump stock should all be pumped
out in the morning before any is used
That which has stood in the pitcher over
night is not fit for coffee water in the
morning. Impure water is more injuri-
GUS to health than impure air, and every
one should provide the means ofobtaning
fresh pure water for all domestic uses. :"

Every one of our sex ought to know how

Cut Wheat Early.

Every one will be apt to do SO this
season. Il is satisfaction to be assured
that it is the best plan, both for quantity
and quality of -four. The following arti,
Gle. whose authorship we are not apprized
Of, treats the subject very intelligcntly.
Read it with care and decide, each man
for himself:
noopEn TINE FOR CURING Wheat.
II rom l very careful series OF expert
ments made in England, in ls40-ls4l,
by Mr.. John Human, of Yorkshire, with
the view of determining the proper period
of reaping wheat, it was decided that the
best time tor performing the operation ia.
when it is in "rsw" state, or when the
straw. as seen from a distance, appears
green, but, closely examined, is found to
be approximating to yellow, and the
grain itself, being separated from the
chatf, is pulpy and soft, but not in the
milky stake This gentleman has shown
that at least six dollars per acre are lost
by allowing the wheat 10 become ripe be-
fore it is cut, and that, at the same time,
its quality is not so good.
The chief advantages derived frcm this
method are stated to be greater weight
of grain to given space of ground,
which produces more flour, of superior
quality the straw contains more nutri-
tive matter, and is better relished by ami
mails; and there is better opportunity
of securing the crop, and a saving in so
doing, as there is less waste in moving or
reaping the wheat by the dropping out of
the seed.
Like all other operations in the vcgeta'
be economy, the ripening of the seed
consists entirely of various chemical pro-
c.sses, the nature of which need not be
explained here, but the result should b.
carefully considered, in order to arrive
at a conclusion as to the modifying influ
ences of different modes of culture. When
an ear of wheat first fills, it appears al,
most entirely composed of substance
resembling milk; in about week or ter
days after this, if We examine the crop:
We shall find the seed much more solid.

solidated, and the straw having begun t'

NEGRO MEcnASlcs.-A late number of
the Georgia Weekly contains an article
upon the subject of "Protection for the
White Mechanic" The leading porposi.
ton is that "no negro, free or enslaved,
should be taught the mechanic arts, from
this forth forever: nor should any negro
be brought into this Republic to labor as
an artizan or mechanic of any grade
whatever" The proposition is sustained
by many cogent and forcible arguments.
1t is contended by the Editor, that it
would increase the strength of our "pecu-
liar institution" at home, by enlisting non-
in its behalf, and that the
arts would rapidly progress,
and render the negro more industrious
