The MANUFACTURE OF SoDA.-By
a new process soda can be manufac-
tured to advantage from common salt,
and the patentees in England have
begun to put it in practical operation.
Briefly, the process consists in submit
ting common salt, carbonate Of mag
nesia and small quantity of water
to the action of carbonic acid gas,
The chemical changes resulting pro-
duce bicarbonate of magnesia, which
dissolves in the water; chloride of
magnesium, which also remains in
solution; and bicarbonate Of. soda,
which falls in powder and can
be collected. By moderate heat the
bicarbonate can be converted into
carbonate of soda Common soda, and
by evaporating the solution containing
the chloride and bicarbonate OF mag
nesium can be obtained. The cost Of
the process i'd very little. 's.'

WHAT is PROGRESSIVE AGRrCUL-
TuRE 1.-The New York Observer
answers this question in few words
but very comprehensively, as fol-
lows:
Under its influence spring up tasty
and convenient dwellings, adorned
with shrubs and flowers, and beauti-
full within with the smiles of happy
wives, tidy children in the lap of
thoughtful age-broad hearts and
acts, as well as words of welcome.
Progressive agriculture builds barns
and puts cutters on them, builds
stables for cattle and raises roots to
feed them. 1t gratis wild apple
trees by the meadow with 'pippins or
greenings-it sets out new orchards
and takes care of the old ones. Il
drains low lands, cuts down bushes,
buys a mower, house tools and
wagons, keeps good fences and
practices soiling. 1t makes hens
lay, chickens live, and prevents
swine from roofing up meadows.
Progressive agriculture keeps on
hand plenty Of dry fuel and brings
in the oven wood for the women. IL
plows deeply, sows plentifully, har-
rows evenly and prays for the bless
ing of heaven. . ....a.
