No Chinese farmer ever sows a seed of corn wore it has been soaked in liquid manure, dt- iutr.1 with water, ar.d has begun to gormina-e: and experience has taught him (so he asserts) Srt this operation not only tends to promote Uio growth and development of the plant, hut also to protect the seed Irorn the msccts bid den in the ground. During the summer mouths, ail kiuds ot Tcgoiable refuse are mixed with turf, straw, grass, peat, weeds and earth, collected into heaps, and when quite dry set on lire; after several days of slow combustion, the entire mass is convened into a kind of black earth. The compost is ouly employed for the manur ing of seeds. When secd-lirao arrives, one makes holes in the ground ; another follow s with tbo seed, which ho places in the holes; and a third adds this black earth. The young, seed p(aultdm this maimer grows with such extraordinary vigor, that it is theroby enabled to push its rootlets through the hard,solid eoil and to cie’cct its mineral constituents. The Chinese farmer sons his wheat, after the graius bavo been soaked in liquid manure, quito close iu seed-beds, and afterwards trans plants it. Occasionally, also, the soaked graius are immediately sown in the Held properly prepared for their reception, at au interval of lour inches from each other. 1 ho time ot transplanting is towards tbo month of Decern her. In March the teed sends up from Seven to nine stalks with ears, but the straw issbort- tr tbau with us.

Jtroad furrows, similar pi those intended for celery are made, and the seeds are planted ou the ridges in patchas, at a distance of live inches from each other. In the courso of a few days germination begins, and long beforo the win ter is gone, the entire Hold is covered with ; iuxuriaul vegetation. In Aptil tho plants are plowed in, and decomposition soon begins, at- tended with a most disagreeable odor. This method is adopted iu all phtcos wbero rico is grown. Corn Beer. Boil a pint of good sound corn until it be comes soft without bursting; add to it a quart of good molasses and one gallon of water.— Put the com, molasses and water in a .jug shake ir well, and in ril hours tho beer will bo excellent. When ail the beer is used, just add more niolas. cs and water. Tim samo corn w il answer for several months, and after the lira time the beer will be lit lor use in It! hours, in warm weather. A gallon will not cost over 10 cents, and a glass lint a fraction over a half cent. When well made, it is better and more wholesome tbau eider. Blackberry’ Jam. The fruit should bo ripe, and gathered in dry weather. I so half a pound of good brown sugar to each pound of tho berries. Boil gent ly for one hour, stirring and mashing thorn well. This jam is useful in families, particu larly of children. It is batter to spread on bread nr puddings than butter, and is cheaper, where the berries bare to bo bought. In (be country, where they cost nothing, every family should preserve a large quantity lor fall and winter use. Build up :t Homestead.

Make your homes beautiful, convenient and pleasant, and your children will lovo It above all other places, they will leave it with regret, think of it with fondness, come back to it joyfully, seek their chief happiness around their borne fireside. Women and children need more than meat, bread and raiment; more than acres of corn and cotton 3prcad out all around them. Their love for tho beautiful must be satisfied.— I’hcir tastes must bo cultivated ; their eensi- oiiilieshumored, not shocked. To accomplish this good end, home must be made lovely, con venience multiplied, comforts provided, and heeifulness fostered. There must bo both sunshine and shade, luscious fruit and fragrant iowers, as well as corn aud cotton. The miud ind heart as well as the fields must be culti- itod ; and then intelligence and contentment will be tho rule instead of the exception.— Stick to, improvo aud beautify your borne steads, for with this good work cornea con tentment.
