Wo remember the time when farmers used to let their heaps of manure remain through the summer, ferment ini'and send ing off the gases, which are the finest and most valuable parts of the manure. Some, times the heap would bo nearly hot enough to produce spontaneous combustion. We once put some potatoes in a heap of fer inenting manure to sprout them, and in a tew days, on examination, we found that they were done, being completely roasted. Resides the great waste from fermenta tion, the manure was drenched with rains ; and the soluble parts, the best that remain ed, were carried away, and frequently de posited where they were not needed. Thus by “fire and flood” all the most valuable parts of the manure were dissipated and carried away. Then the manure was black and niellow, and farmers considered it in fine condition for Indian corn or other crops for the next season. So it was hauled out in the fall, and deposited in the field for that purpose. . How much was lost in this way we cannot tell, perhaps one third by the escape of gases, and another third might be carried away in solution, for the stream from the manure was dark and rich. Manure should never ferment without be ing well covered with loam of some sub stance to absorb the gasses ; and when ap plied to the soil, it should be covered imme diately ; and if the soil be light and porous it should be covered a good depth or the gases will escape. If manure in the heap is likely to ferment before it can be conve niently applied to the soil, and it be not con venient to cover it with loam, or anything to receive and retain the gases, it may be o verhauled and exposed to the air to keep it cool. It is better to spread out manure be fore fermentation commences, though it will lose something by being thus exposed to the air, than to let it remain to heat in the heap. For when in a heap the decomposition is ra pid and the loss great. When spread out and exposed, the fermentation is slow and the loss in a given time comparatively small. Some writers recommend preparing ma nure for crops by allowing it to ferment be fore applied to the soil, but this method is very injudicious, unless some method is ta ken to retain the gases. Partially decom posed manure is good to give plants an ear ly start, but the support thus given soon fails, and if there be not other manure or rich soil, the plant fails in a measure be fore the crop is matured. We prefer ap plying manure before fermentation, that the gases may enrich the soil and make it light and mellow. In this case if there be not a rich soil to give the plants a start in the first of the year, it may be well to ap ply ashes or poudrette, or something to give them an early start, if any thing of the kind can be procured with economy. We have found that though old manure gives the plant a good color and rapid grow th in the first of the season, the crop is usually lighter than when manure is ap plied in its full strength, that gives an a bundancc of nutriment to the plants when the crop is matured, this being the time when it is most needed. When old manure, or fine compost can be conveniently mixed with new rfianure, they answer well, asone affords food for plants in the early part of the season, and the other in the latter part. Lightwood from Old Field Pines. —Mr. J. 11. Fugua, in writing for the Southern Plan ter, makes a few remarks on old field pines, the correctness of which we hope some of our correspondents w ill put to the test of actual experiment and furnish us with the result. He remarks, “I consider a grove of such pines exceedingly valuable for garden post, or posts of any kind ; if properly prepared, they will last as long as locust or any other timber. My mode of treatment is as fol lows : I lake a drawing knife and draw off the bark as the tree stands, as high up as I want to use it: in this situation, the tree, which will not die, remains a twelvemonth, \ when in consequence of the sun having drawn the rosin to the surface, it will be come a solid bulk of lightwood, and will be ready for use.”— Planter. i REES.—It is a custom in Turkey, says Dr, Walsh to plant a pluturnus orien tals. (buttonwood tree) on tic.’ birth of a son; and a cypress on the deal It of one. Were this custom adopted in the United | States, it would give us, at the end of fortv years, about twenty millions of trees more than we shall probably have; a considera tion of no mean importance to posterity. And were the trees to be planted by the roadside, most of our public highways wauld at the end o’ the period, be converted, into delightful avenues. Let it he remem bered that the road from Strasburg to Mu nich, a distance of 2.00 miles, is already an avenue of fruit trees. PEACH TREES. When bearing trees are planted in low places, the blossom buds are urged forward by the warmth of the day, and the in creasing severity of night frosts destroy them—but on hills, these extremes of heat and cold do not occur; hence they general ly escape. One of the early setlers of Wayne county, near Palmyra, twenty-four years ago planted a peach orchard on a hill, nearly one hundred feet above the average height of land; and during twenty years since they first began to hear, he lias oply one crop (jy -Cnltirnipr. CEMENT FOR GRAFTING- Two pounds and two ounces of rosin, six ounces of bees wax. Melt themlogeth or, and turn the mixture into cold water, and lot it remain until cool enough to han dle; then vvork it as shoemaker’s wax. We have used cement thus made, and found that it remained on the stock for years. It is not so soft as to run in hot weather, nor so hard as to crack in cold weather, all of the ingredients for making this dement must be of a good quality. Cutting Asparagus. —l stumbled acciden tally, and from carelessness, several years since upon the plan of cutting Asparagus, which I have since recommended very highly ; which is not to cut it below the ground, as usual, but to allow it to grow from fifteen inches to two or three feet long, and cut off about one footof the top. By doing so, almost the whole will be equally tender and well flavored ; while in the old way, only an inch or two is eatable. It is a fact, that Asparagus does not become tenderunti! it turns green. I always thought it a poor vegetable, until I cultivated it, and gathered it as above ; and now I find it one of the best. I think also, that there is a great deal more fuss, (pardon the word, as unclassical, but very expressive,) made a bout the cultivation of Asparagus, than there is any need for. I would say, make beds three fee* apart, as if for cotton, lav vour roots about eighteen inches apart in the alley, haul the bed back upon them, co ver them well with fresh stable or other strong manure, immediately and every year; and if they are planted early in the winter, you may cut thepi twelve or four teen months after. They may not possibly be as large as candles, but none the less palatable for that, nor boar any the worse for it—at leust 1 have not found it so. If you on a sea-island, and can make a bed in salt land, you will find it thrive to your satisfaction ; and if you live in the interior, empty all refuse-salt and salt substances upon your bed as its specific manure. Southern Agriculturalist. Planting Large Potatoes. —We have been of the opinion, that if large potatoes were planted instead of slips, a much finer crop would be made, and we requested a friend, who raised usually large potatoes to try the experiment last year, of planting both kinds —the very large and the slips. The fol lowing is a letter received from him on the subject.— Planter. Df.au Sir —l promised you the result of an experiment in planting the full grown and largest size sweet potato, instead of the smallest size, such as are usually planted. As you are aware, I alternately planted one row of large and one of very small pota toes. In harvesting I could not preceive any advantage whatever from the large o ver the small seed. This result was con trary to my expectation, particularly as there was a marked difference in the vine, during the early part of the summer, those from the largest seed appearing much more vigorous. Necessity of a Change of Crops. —ln a conversation the other day with an intelli gent friend, I stated the remarkable fact, that if an animal were to be confined to one particular diet for a certain numberofdays sickness, and eventually death must be the consequences ; when he immediately ap plied the, rationale of the fact to a subject at once so highly interesting and natural, that 1 cannot help recording it. “Then,” said he, “this shows at once the necessity of a change of food to the crop ; or which is the same thing, a change of crop to the soil; a rotation of crops, as it is called.” Now in this little remark, a volume is thrown open to our perusal, arid by studying it, I believe we may derive information and advanta ges at present unknown and unappreciated; and in return for the many useful hints and very pleasant ideas that I am continually reaping and garnering up from the perusal ofyour paper, I offer the above in grateful acknowledgement.— Farmer’s Cabinet. MISCELLANEOUS. Tobacco has done nearly as much as ar dent spirits to brutalize mankind. Pipes, of whatever description, are an abomina tion. In point of stench, the most exten sive meerschaum is even worse than the hod carrier’s clay. Boys carry cigars in their mouth in the vain attempt to look man ly—newly imported rustics to look know ing; fools as an excuse for having nothing to say. Mouths which are incapable of fascinating the fair by their eloquence, and securing .hat ‘sweet pressure’ of ruby lips, which is the well earned meed of gallantry, may be fittingly converted by their owners, into chimney pots—since they are good for nothing else. Curious ideas shoot across the brain of children sometimes. ‘Mother,’ said a little child, who had just learned to talk, ‘can serpents talk.’ ‘No, my child replied the mother.’ ‘Then how did the serpent‘tell Eve to eat the apple?’ Here was a poser; the mother however happily got over it by replying that God, on that occasion jiermitted it. Still the lit tle fellow was at a loss to know why God should permit a serpent to talk. He was equally puzzled to comprehend where the stuff came from that rocks were made of! The First of April. —A train of cars oti Saturday the Ist ult., at Concord, passed over a man lying on the track, and severed his head from his body. The cars were •stopped, the passengers jumped out, and tile mutilated body was picked up, when it was discovered that the body was only a man of straw. The person who had picked up the head came to his senses, and found that he was holding a large red cabbage, of which the blood had been discovered upon the track proved to’ be the juice. A by stander happening to recollect that it was the first day of April, the mystery was ex plained ; the passengers resumed their scats, the train was again put in motion. LIFE IN EASTERN TEXAS. Dancing to a Strange Tunc. —Amoug the many mad wugs attached to the Santu Fe Expedition there was not a more invetcrct getter-up of practical jokes than Capt. H. Poor, fellow ! he is dead now ; but the mem ory of some of his laughable pranks still lives. Several years since, and in the early his tory of a country whose existence is but of recent date, Capt. H. was sent by the Se cretary of War on a recruiting tour througii Eastern Texas. While jimmying from •place to place on horseback bechanced one evening to stop at a small tavern, where he soon discovered that every preparation was in progress for a hall. Ever ready and ripe for a thing in the shapo of fun or frolics, the captain ut once resolved to “put up” at the tavern for the night and take part in the festivities. At the time the circumstances took place which we are about to relate, society was said to.be divided into three distinct classes in Texas. First, there waslhe aristocracy, or “upper crust,” who, from the fact that they wore shoes and stockings, were by common consent allowed to take preceden ce in all matters of taste, elegance or fash ion. Then came the second, or middle class, an order that wore shoes but were unable to go to the expense of stockings.— The third or lower class “went barefoot” and ranked below the first mentioned gra des in every respect. Thus was society divided at the date of this history. After Capt. H. had “seen to” his horse and procured his own supper he repaired to the ball room. There he found a promis cuous assemblage already collected, many of them engaged in the giddy mazes of co tillions, jigs and contre-dances. He no ticed, however, that none other than those who wore shoes and stocking were upon the floor, and as the evening wore towards mid night he ascertained that none other were allowed to take a part in the dance. By this time the -“first society” had become wearied with salutary exe.cise and relin quished their claim to the next in rank, the middle classes. Here was another monopoly, for unless a person had shoes upon his or her feet such person would not be allowed upon the floor, it bore heavily upon the lower orders—the shoeless and stockingless gentry —but they were compelled to submit to those arbitra ry laws which always have and always will govern alike in the most free as in the most despotic countries. A wooden clock upoti the mantel piece, which had found its way into Texas in com pany with some Yankee pedler, was stri king its little hours before the middle clas ses became wearied with dancing ; but by the third watch of the night they too had had tired themselves down and manifested a willingness to give up the floor to the next in grade. But now a dilemma occurred which en tirely spoiled the sport of those who up to this time had had “no show” whatever— the fiddler, who had been imbibing rather copiously of whiskey, was found to be so drunk that he could not sit upon a chair, much less draw a tune from his violin.— The lower classes were in sore distress, as no Other musician could be found. They rolled the drunken man upcyi the floor, they stirred him up, they r'fjbbed his head with vinegar, and they crammed an entire jar of Underwood’s pickles down his throat— but all would not do. V At this juncture, and when the poorer people had given up all .in despair, their spirits were suddenly elated By an offer on the part of Capt. H., provided they could procure him the fiddle, tt) give them a tune. He knew just about as much of performing on the violin as a common negro banjo player does of the more difficult passages of the Stabat Mater ; but his powers of imi tation were great, and all the little prepara tory preluding in the way of tuning, thumb ing the strings and screwing the keys he could do as well as Paganini himself. The dancers were in ecstacies, the fid dle was procured, and a cotillion set was immediately formed on the floor. Capt. H. was in no particular hurry, but contin ued his flourishes in the way of tuning the instrument for some time. Once or twice he drew the bow scientifically across the strings, which were now horribly out of tune—flourishes which caused the eager dancers immediately to commence'forward ing’ across the floor—but the waggish cap tain had no intention of giving them a “send off” so suddenly. At length, thinking he had infused a sufficiency of the effervesence of dancing into the eager set he drew the cork by giv. ing every string on the violin a general rake with the bow. Away they went like mad, Capt. H. still sawing away, stamping his right foot as if keeping time, and call ing the figure. Never was there seen such a dance. ‘Chassez,” cross over,’ ‘dos-a dos,’ were called out by the captain, amid a series of sounds from the punished violin which would set a professor crazy; but so full of dance were the head and foot couple that they carried the thing through with as much zeal as though they had been bitten by Italian tarrantulas. It may readily be supposed that the dan cers bad but a limited knowledge of music; but still they could tell, in their cooler mo ments, a tune from a tornado. The first two couple had by this time finished, and the second had commenced, when one of the former addressed his partner with: ‘Eliza, did you ever hear that tune he’s apiayin afore?’ ‘Can’t say that I ever has,” was the re sponse, and this within hearing of Capt. H. who was still punishing the violin as se verely as ever. ‘Does it sound to you like much of a tune, Eliza, any how?’—‘Well, it dosn’t.’ ‘Nor to me either,’ said the first speaker, who all the while had his head turned to one side after the manner of a hog listen ing. ‘Mv opinion is that feller there is natter ally jest promiscuously and miscellaneous ly sawin away without exactly knowin what he’s a doin.’ This was too much for the captain, who now dropped the violin and rushed from the room and sought his quarters for the night. Thus ended a ball in Eastern Texas. — N. O. Picayune. INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY. The following anecdote which which we found In an Eastern paper, while it excited our risible propensities to a degree very a-, larming to our neighbors, served at the same time, to open our eyes to an entirely new vjew of the advantage of an economi cal display of house furniture.— Lou. Dai 1y Pennant. A young man had just entered into busi ness, and taken a partner —a lovely one for life. - Happily she possessed the same prin ciples and views as himself, ami they were the only correct ones. The young man had expended his little capital in the pur chase of stock ; as he sold he supplied him self with more, always paying as he pur chased, and his purchases witli his business, gradually increased ; by this course of con duct he was very soon known, and his char acter for integrity firmly established, al though this was not an aim but a -conse quence. At one time, when purchasing a part of a small cargo of merchandize, for which he had demand, he was prevailed upon by the merchant to take the whole, on a credit for a given time; the young man was willing, but would give no security ; the merchant would take his own notes and the bargain was made. On the fol lowing morning, however, yielding proba bly to the natural doubt of commercial transactions, the merchant desired his head clerk to visit the young man’s house, and see how they were provided for, and gather if possible, from appearances, some idea of the prospect of payment. At the house the clerk found the young and lovely wife pre paring the morning meal. Upon a clean white board she was rolling out the cakes, which being cooked and ready with other things, the aforesaid board being now cov ered with a neat cloth, were spread thereon and the young couple seating themselves opposite to each other, having the hoard be tween them, supported upon their laps, pro ceeded to discuss their breakfast. The clerk did not make known the object of his visit, but returning to his employer, quietly informed him that it was “ all right.”— ‘ Ah, how d’ye know, what have you seen?’ ‘Oh, I’ve seen enough to convince me that you may safely credit him for ten times the amount.” “Indeed, is it possible ? What are the appearances then—how is the furniture !” exclaimed the clerk with enthusiasm; “ furniture, sir, why I would not take $20,000 for the legs of their break fast table.” A Parting Speech. —The parting speech of Mr. Dunn, the Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, in which he wished his fellow-members of the House “ a pleasant journey to the land of eternal rest,” excites some comments from the press. The Bangor Gazette infers that he is a Millerite. The Portland Advertiser thinks that in invoking a speedy departure ofthe members to the shades, he should have added a wish that “ their works shall follow them.” Boston Journal.
