AGRICULTURAL. From the New York Farmer. MANURE IS WEALTH. In our intercourse with some of the farm ers residing within forty or fifty miles from New York, on Long Island, we have been surprised at the instances related to us of the profitahless of farming. Sortie farmers, known to have labored and toiled hard, have continued yearly to fall in arrears un til they have commenced buying manure. Fifty-six cents are given per carman's load at the landing, for the apparently worth less dirt swept from the street. The very farmers who could ndt obtain a living by using only manure ftiade on their farms from incumbrances, hut purchase others in addition, are now, from the yearly prof its of their farm, putting money out at in terest. Ifthen it is found so profitable to buy manure, and be at the various expen ses attending to carting, how very impor tant is it to give spi cial attention to increas ing the quantity and improving the quality of that made on th& farm. There is no question but that almost every farmer can double the quantity of his domestic or yard manure, without scarcely and additional expense. It is thought too, that at least fif ty per cent. of the nutritive properties of yard manure are lost by drenching of rains, excessive fomentations, ami injurious ap plication to soil. The more we consider this subject the greater docs it become in importance, and justly regarded as the pri mary object in farming. AGE OF TREES. An elm is full-grown in one hundred and fifty years, and it lives five or six hundred. Ash is full-grown at one hundred. Oak, at two hundred. From a late English Paper. STEAM PLOUGHS. Among the premiums to be given by the Highland Agricultural Society of Scotland at their meeting in the present year, is one of 500 sovereigns‘- for the first successful application of the steam power to the culti vation of the soil.” The merits of the in vention with reference to the conditions e numerated, will he judged of by a commit tee of the society, especially appointed, and the inventor to be required to exhibit the machinery and modes of applying it in Scotland. Looking to the greatly extend ed application, which has recently been made of steam as a motive power, and see ing that the difficulties which are opposed to the application to the purposes of the farm have been partially overcome by the effect of individuals, it has appeared to the socie ty that without exciting expectations which may not be realized, a strong ground exists for having this possible application ofstcam power made the subject of ample, fair and satisfactory experiment. A stepm engine has recently been invented in France, w ith which, it is said, four miles of ground can in a single hour be excavated with an en gine of only eight horse power, to the depth ofa foot and the breadth of two feet. The earth as it is turned up, is thrown into a sort ofsail, which hurls it to a distance of 60 feet. A steam plough has been lately shipped otffrom Glasgow to British Guiana, intended for the cultivation of sugar in that Colony—as a great necessity has arisen for the employment of some other power besides manual labor, in working the sugar es tates. The machinery consists of two iron boats, one containing a small high pressure steam engine with a drum, round which the endless chain or rope is coiled, and the other a reversing pullv, by means of which the chain or rope is extended, and al : lowed to work which ever way is required, the ploughs are attached to this chain, and made to work backwards and forwards with great rapidity and accuracy. The exper iments which have been made were highly sarts factory. RECEIPTS, Ac. . From the South Carolina Planter. A GOOD WAY TO KEEP SWEET POTATOES IN WARM WEATHER. I now have sweet potatoes (yams,) of last year’s growth, on my table every day, al though the new crop has been fit to use here for more than a month. This is the second year of my success in keeping them through the summer, after a great many previous experiments and failures, and oth ers may like to know and try the plan for themselves. Here it is : 1. I made a plentiful crop. 2. My potatoes were dug and put up in mild, open weather, as soon as the vines were singed by frost. 3. The eating potatoes were carefully picked oveiyUnd all that were cut or bruis ed, were put by themselves for early use. 4. They w ire then put in heaps of 80 or 100 bushels each, on ground a little slo ping. The heaps were covered first with a layer of dry corn stalks, and these with agood coat of earth, taken from the margin of the heaps. By this means the earth on which the heaps rested, was left 10 or 12 inches higher than that adjoining, besides cutting trenches to carry off the rain wa ter. There were no air-holes or vents left at the top. The earth used in covering is f a sandy loam. These potato banks were i protected from rain by .slight clap-board shelters. 5. In the spring; at the time of planting slips, my eating potatoes were also taken out ofthe banks. Tire decay up to that time was about 15 per cent. The potatoes were generally sprouted- Those that were entirely sound Were selected, the sprouts carefully removed, the potatoes wiped dry, but not exposed to the sun, ami removed to a log house, on a dry plank floor, where they remained for use, withoul any fur ther attention. The loss front-decay since they were put in the house, has been equal to a!>out ten per cent more. I think the loss would have been less, if there had been more room to spread out the potatoes. A gin-house would be a fine place to keep them in during the warm weather. For I have found that Irish potatoes can be kept there longer and better than in any other place I have tried. As to the best method of keeping sweet potatoes in winter, the following story may direct your attention to a quarter, from which you may obtain some useful infor mation. In the Fall of 1833,1 called at the house ofJ.G. near the Watcree canal. He had just put up his potato crop —chiefly in a house of the following construction. It had a double log wall, and the space be tween the walls [ 15 or 18 inches,] was fill ed with earth. The top or loft was floor ed with stout puncheons, and these covered over with clay 10 or 12 inches thick—a bovc which there was a common board roof. The ground floor was sunk about two feet below the surface of the earth. The area of the house was about 8 (cct wide, 8 feet, high, and 10 leet long, which he computed to hold 800 bushels. It was entirely tilled with potatoes. What struck tnc most, was, to see the door (the only opening to the house,) clo sed up, and all the scams in the shutter and facings, carefully chinked up with cotton and tar—if I remember right, Mr. G. gave the following explanation. For two or three years, on first housing'his potatoes, he was careful to have the door kept open until they had gone through a sweat—yet found that lie often lost a third by dry rot. At length ho was told that the air ought to be carefully kept out until the sweat was over. The truth of this was strongly con firmed to his mind, by the recollection that in using his potatoes he found that the far ther they lay from the door the sounder they had kept, lie id led that he had preserv ed two crops on the new plan, with entire success—and that after the sweating stage was past, the door was often left open all day, in cold weather, without any sensible injury to the potatoes. Would it not confer a public benefit, for you to learn if this plan continues success ful, and give your readers the information? W. From the Baltimore American. SOAKING CORN FOR HORSES. A gentleman who resides in Baltimore county, and who is one of the most success ful farmers in our vicinity, informed us a few days since, that hc'saved at least one third of his com by the manner in which he fed it out to his horses : He has two hogsheads placed in his cellar, where they are secure from freezing. These he first fills with corn in the ear, then pours in a sufficient quantity of water to cover the corn. After the ea/s have been thorough ly soaked he commences feeding, gives to his horses two thirds of the usual quantity allowed. As one of these hogsheads be comes empty, he refills it; and by the time the other is empty the one last filled is suf ficiently soaked for use. In this way the cobs become so softened that the horses con sume the whole of them, and they are thus made to add fully one third more to his stock of food. He assures Us that the hor ses eat the cobs with avidity, keep in good order, and are just as competent to perform plantation labor as when they consumed the grain alone. The success of our in formant should stimulate his agricultural brethren to follow his example, as the labor of preparation is nothing, compared with the great saving, effected. TAMED BEES, WASPS, AND OTHER FLIES. Education does much among animals : they are singularly susceptible, especially when certain methods, which it would he interesting to know, are used. One Wild ham, an Englishman, had a peculiar talent for educating bees, wasps, and even several other flies. On the 4th of June, 1774, in the presence of the Stadtholder and his con sort, he made several experiments on the education and economy of bees. He dis played a comb full of these insects ; and, in the space of two minutes, he caused them to leave the comb, and settle upon the hat of one ofthe spectators. Thence, he caused them to alight upon his naked arm, and form him a rnuff. Next, he caused them to settle upon his head and face, on which they made a kind of mask. He afterwards Caused them to march upon a table, accor ding to his orders. That which was most extraordinary, in the conduct and talents of this singular man, was that he cCuld make the same experiments with whatever swarm was offered to him, and even wasps and other flies ; and that he could tame the most mischievous in ihe space of five min utes, without danger of being stung. DON’T KILL YOUR BEES. A writer in the Genessee Farmer says that hv using the smoke ofthe fungus max iuius, or puffball, the bee owners will a dopt a mode of treatment much more hu mane and profitable than that which gener ally prevails. It has a stupifying effect on the bees, rendering them as harmless as brimstone does, without the deadly effects of the latter. It is likewise stated that by means of the stupifying effect ofthe smoke, weak swarms, which would not live through the winter, may be united to strong ones, and that two swarms thus united will not consume more honey in a winter than 1 Crib would in its natural state. Farmers, give this a trial. VALUABLE RECEIPE. The following is given in the. Plattville (Wisconsin) Badger, as a recipe for taking the fever and ague. We fully assent to the conclusion in the last sentence : “ But oil a pair of cotton or linen panta loons, (yellow if possible, a long-tailed, pale blue, old jean coat, a high crowned, peaked topped, straw or chip hat, and a low pair of shoes without socks ; then seat yourself on a high stump, next morning after the first frost and rest your head on your hand, and your elbow on your knee, and look over the fence wishfully into a cucumber patch ; if you can stand this operation for two hours without your teeth chattering, you are proof against the ague ; if the experiment fail, you may attribute the failure to the healthi ness ofthe climate, and not the inefficiency ofthe experiment. To lie Remembered ! “ llcsolved, by the Senate and House oj Representatives of the Stale of Kentucky, That, in the lute campaign ugainst. the Indians upon the Wabusli, Governor William Henry Harrison has hehuved like a hero, a patriot, and a general; and tlint, li.r Ins coni, delibe rate, skillful, and gallant conduct in the battle of Tippecanoe, he well deserves the warmest thanks of his country and his nation.” Legislature of Kentucky, Jan. 7, 1812. “ General Harrison has done more for his country, with less compensation for it, than any man living.” President Madison. “ I profess to he somewhat acquainted with the history of G-neral Harrison’s political, military, and private life. 1 am his neighbor, and live iri his county. As to his private life, l know of no stain that for a moment, sullies hiru.” Dr. Duncan, of Ohio. Colonel Richard M Johnson, now Vice Pre sident. c.f the United Suiies, said, in Congress: •• Who is General Harrison ! The son of one of the signers of ihe Declaration of Indepen dence, who spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeeming the pledge he then gave, of Ins ‘ fort min, life, and sacred honor,’ to se cure tiie liberties of Iris country. “ Os Ihe career of General Harrison, ! need not speak ; the History of the West is his his tory. For forty years lie has been identified with its interests, its perils, and its hopes. Universally beloved in the walks of pence, and distinguished by Ins ability in the coun cils of his country, he has been yet more illustriously distinguished m the field. Dur ing the late war, lie was longer in actual service than any other General Officer; he was, perhaps, oftener in action than any one of them, unu never sustained a defeat.” Colonel R. M. Johnson to General Harrison, July 4, 1813, says : We did not want, to serve under cowards or traitors ; but. under one [Harrison] who had proved hnnseiflo be wise, prudent, anu brave.” On llic night before the final question on the Missouri restr.etiou was taken, General Har rison was warned by one of his associates, that, if he voted against the restriction, he would ruin his pupularny at the North ; lie fearlessly replied : •• I have often risked my life in defence of my country —1 will now risk my political po pularity in uetcnce of the mi on.” General Win. 11. Harrison says: In all ages, and in all countries, it lias been observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those who are the least willing to part with tlieir rights, and submit them to the will of a muster.” On the subject ot selling white men for debt, General Harrison says, in a letter to Mr. Pleasants: “ So tar from being willing to sell men for debts, which they are unable to discharge, 1 am, and ever have been, opposed to all impri sonment for debt.” In a letter, on the same subject, to the Editor ot the Cincinnati Advertiser, he says: “ Far from advocating the abominable prin ciples attributed to me by your correspondent, I think that imprisonment for debt, under any circumstance but those where fraud is alleged, is at wai with the best principles of our Con stitution, and ought to be abolished.” In a letter to the Hon. Sherrod Williams, dated “ North Bend, May 1, 1836,” General Harrison says: “ I have before me a newspaper, in which I am designated by its distinguished editor, * the bank and federal candidate.’ 1 think it would puzzle the writer to adduce anv act of iny life winch warrants him in identifying me with the interests of the first, or the politics of the latter.” The following paragraph, from a memoir of General Harrison, by J. K. Jackson, Esq., bears valuable testimony to his religious character : “An incident which occurred at Philadelphia, will serve to illustrate his character. On the evening preceding a Sabbath he was to spend in that city, two gentlemen waited on him, and stated, that there were two sects there, more nu merous than others ; and, therefore, it would be good policy in him to attend one of these sects in the morning and the other in the afternoon. ‘ Gentlemen,’ he replied, ‘ I thank you sincerely for your kindness, but I have already promised to attend divine service to-morrow ; and when I go to church, I go to worship God, and not to electioneer.’ ” * MO NTHLY NOTICES. months after date, application will be made lo the Honorable the Interior Court of Wilkes county, while sit ting for Ord nary purposes, for leave to sell the REAL ESTATE of JOHN MOORE, deceased, late of said county.
