WET LANDS.
We have fr< quentlv recommended the j
draining of all naturally wet Ifi nds, and!
we will here repeat our advice, ns it is im
possible to realize good crops from soils j
which remain in u state of super satura- 1
tion fora considerable time after every fall !
of rain. Many, we are aware, are deter- !
red from subjecting their lands to this ope- j
ratioifMirough fear oftlie expense ; but this |
consideration should not he permitted to !
prevail, as the cost of draining, if properly j
executed, would not prove the scare.crow t
which many apprehend, as a largc por- !
tion of the labor could he performed with ;
• tin-* (4rrtlVt^Ht , ?lVrn l i l l > te>)t:_’ tU tjio re- !
r qtiired to throw’ out the loose earth which 1
could not he extricated by the former iiri- !
plement, until ttie drain should get to be j
a fool deep.
With regard to the kind of drains, wel
have no hesitation in saying that we should
a. prefer covered ones, which could be formed
ilkth very little labor. Suppose the drain |
be cut 18 indies or two feet deep,’
width, all that would be j

HjHHli--.m-, cellar->r 1 cut p•• -s. 4 in
diameter, the ends made to lit plum
ends, then to lay blocks of the
Brome materials, close together across them;
on ihcse let pine or cedar twigs, or long
__unbroken straw, he placed, to prevent the
earth from falling through the interstices
and clicking up the drain ; then fill up the
drain, taking care to preserve at least a
foot belween the surface and filling in, so;
that the plow would not displace the poles j
in after culture. Indeed, where neither j
etiesnut, locust nor cedar poles could be ob- 1
taiiTed, those of pine would answer^tP*
■yrtfrfc rft'VVny y?ars.~ —■ ‘'~
In England, Scotland and Ireland, where j
ilraininghas been longest followed, and ‘
best understood, the most decided advanta
ges have been derived from the practice.—
I here lands, of comparatively little value,
have been, by the operation of draining
i alone, renihered not ‘tl‘ly Available for eve
but eminently productive ;
rS soils which had been looked upon as
among the most heavy, tenacious clays,
have been converted into pliable loams.
With regard to the distance at which ihe
drains must be cut apart, that must depend
upon the quantity of water to he passed off.
In most cases, from 18 to 22 feet has been
found a sufficient and safe distance. The
drains across the field should be made to
—<wnpiy into otheris-of bolder dimensions, at
j the terminating points, which should be of
Y sufficient capacity to receive all the water
\which mav be discharged into them. Care
should be observed too, to preserve a pro-
r /pcr level, so that the water may pass freely
throughout every part of the drain.
.We have no doubt that, by such drain
heavy clays,given to excessive mois-’
tore, that at least fifty per cent, of the la
bor of tillage might be economised, twenty- j
five per cent, of productive capacity be ad
der! to them, and lands which are only now
fit for grass culture, and not peculiarly
adapted to that, might be transformed into
■ fried for the growth of every dcscrip
tiois of vegetables, from the turnip to tho
corn plant.
With regard to the quantity ofsueh ditch
ing, which can be done in a day, we have
no hesitation in advancing the opinion, that
the materials on the ground and deposited
in place, that four men, a good team, a plow
and three shovels, could perfect a mile in
length in a day, prodded they were super
intended by their employer, and we would
not advise any one to undertake such labor,
unless lie gave to the operation his person
al attention during the whole time. His
presence, judgement and direction, would
be more than equivalent to the work of two
laborers; besides the assurance he would
have that the work would be well and ef
fectually done. There may be, and doubt
less are, hands that do not require watch
ing, though we are forced to confess that we
have nut seen them ; for, so far as our ex
v and we have not had a
i“ most them is more
than in the
\ e in good old-fash
o/f*Ton. This may be

this, there was a crop ofrrd and white do
; ver, very thick, but short ; the clover was

joining parts of the field was so great as to
! be distinctly seen at the distance of half a
j mile. It was tho opinion of the man who
assisted mu in buying, that this quarter of
an acre produced three times as much ha v,
as an equal piece on either side of it, and
1 in his opinion I fully concur. —Maine Cut.
GOSHEN BUTTER.
We copy the following from the valua
j blc report of the Commissioner of Patents:
The Goshen butter, in the State of New
! York, is celebrated all over the country,
| and the following account is given of one of
the most celebrated of daircs there. The
cows are “regularly salted and kept in good
j pasture during the summer ; in the winter,
I each cow is kept in a stall, with a separate
door to it, in a building two sidesof a square
round a largo yard ; the upper story*of the
| building is appropriated for fodder and hay.
j The cows are brought up to the yard, night
j and morning, and regularly milked. The
outer pailing of the yard is fifty feet from
I the house: here, opposite the farm house,
| is placed a tunnel, into which the milk is
| [loured as fast as a pailful is obtained from
I the cow's. A short perpendicular tin pipe
: connects the tunnel with a horizontal one
! w hich is buried 2 feet under ground, out of
the way of the frost, and leads into the cel
; lar of the house. When the milking is go
i ing on, a woman stands in the cellar with
! supply-pans placed under the end of this
i horizontal tube, which, as fast as filled, she
sets away on the cellar bottom. Here the
milk.stands till loppered and soured, as it
is said to make more butter in this state
than any other, and of a better quality. In
this state it is poured, cream and all, into
churns which hold a barrel each. If the
weather be cool, and the milk not sufficient
ly warm to come readily, a can is sills-d
with hot water, and this is placed in the
milk in the churn, and stirred aJjptH till it
reaches a temperature of-'jS'toliO degrees.”
i Water-power is prefepfeti for churning to
! any other, as it is jfiore regular. “When
: the butter the power is stopped,
a p'ufflfTrigged into the churn; the ban
'll le of which is attached to the power, and
j the buttermilk pumped into a reservoir just
! outside of the cellar, standing on a level
with the ground. From this the butter
milk is conducted by a tin pipe of about
100 feet to another reservoir close by the
piggery, from which it is dipped out in
‘ buckets, and fed to the pigs. After being
churned, the butter is thoroughly washed
off with cold water ; if this be not done, it
is difficult to get the buttermilk clean out
of it. As soon as cool and solid, the but
ter is taken on a marble or smooth stone
table, properly salted with clean fine salt,
and worked over thoroughly with a wood
en ladle or spatula—the hand never being
allowed to touch the butter, as, from its
heat, it softens it.” After being thorough
ly worked, the butter is packed in firkins
of seasoned while oak. The firkin, previ
ous to packing, is well washed with cold
water, and then rubbed all round with salt,
to prevent the butter from adhering to its
sides. It is put down in layers as churned,
3 or 4 inches deep.
When the firkin is filled, a linen cloth is
placed over the top of the butter ; on this,
half an inch of salt ; to which is added a
little water, to form a brine. The cellar
is considered very important; it should be
seven feet deep—eighteen inches of which u
at the top, should be allowed for ventila
tion ; the windows to be covered with very
fine wire gauze, to let in the air and keep
out the insects ; the walls to be of stone
and pointed, the floor of slabs.
Culture of the Cucumber. —-I will stale a
fact relative to the planting of cucumbers
which came under my observation, and
which is worthy of being known. I shall
at least give afurther trial myselfofits re
ality ; though I cannot conceive there is a
doubt remaining on the subject. Last
spring, a friend of mine and myself were
planting cucumbers at the same time. I
was planting mine, as is usual in gardens,
by mixing a small portion of stable manure
with the earth, and raising the hill an inch
or two above the surface of the ground.—
Observing it, he jocosely remarked, “Let
me show you how to raise cucumbers !”
Never having much luck in raising them,
I cheerfully agreed to his proposition. He
commenced by making holes in the earth,
at the distance intended for the hills that
would hold about a peck—he then filled
them with dry leached ashes, covering the
ashes with a very small quantity of earth.
The seed were then planted on a level with
the surface of the ground. I was willing
to seethe experiment tried, but had no ex
pectation of any thing but a loss of seed, la
bour, and soil. But imagine my astonish
nytnt,(notwithstanding a drier season never
and almost a universal failure

thrifty, and as fine a crop of
BHHmbers as any one need wish to raise.
to bea r tor a very long time;
the proprietor, and here he is always to be
found. The negro huts are made of bam
boo twined together ; there'is just space e
nough between them for a hog-pen. The
negroes are fed principally, and some es
tates altogether, upon plantains, roasted for
bread. The only meat they get is from
what hogs they raise ; this is no small lux
ury, as the pork here is said to be the best
in the world. Taking every thing into con
sideration, I was much pleased, and think
1 could live on one of these estates some
time without its becoming tiresome.
GENERAL REMARKS ON THE
MEANS OF SECURING HEALTH.
11l regard to receipts and “cure-alls,”
however promising they may appear, it
should always be born in mind, that what
for one person may have proved a positive
cure in a particular disease, may prove po
sitively injurious when tried by another for
the same disease, or even when repeated
for the same individual. The reason is ob
vious. So much depends upon the differ
ent habits, constitution, state of the humor
ous, blood, degree of weakness or strength,
&c. in different individuals, and at differ
ent periods in the same individual. The
medicine which to-day would be proper, by
a change in the disease, may to-morrow be
the reverse ; —and, in short, so many ob
jections will occur to any reflecting mind
against the indiscriminate use of remedies,
that the greatest caution should be exer
cised, lest in tampering with disease you
destroy health. There is so much adulter,
ation in drugs,so many quack nostrums,
pills and impositions, that in all cases of
doubt and difficulty, the safer rule is to
trust the advice ofan intelligent physician.
To preserve health, —to guard against
disease, should be the object, on the score
of economy, comfort, and safety ; and this
maybe accomplished in all cases, unless
under rare and very peculiar circumstan
ces of exposure. A uniform state of health
may be maintained until old age, by a
careful observance of the rules already set
forth.
These are briefly—lst. A plain whole
some diet, bearing in mind that high-season
ed compounds, hot dough, under the name
of cakes, &c. or dough and grease, under
the name of pastry, will essentially ruin the
best stomach ; and that intemperance in
food, drink, and dress, is the foundation and
cause of nine tenths of all the diseases and
distress which afflict the human race.
2d. Exercise, observing that while to the
weakly too sudden, too violent, and long
continued exercise, may he injurious, it is
otherwise of the greatest importance.—
Those who cannot take other arid better,
may secure much of the advantages of ex
ercise by active friction ofthe body on re
tiring to bed and on rising, and by frequent
exertion and change of the position.
3d. Cleanliness. 4th. Pure air. sth.
To guard against taking Cold, which may
in all cases be done by acquiring the habit
of daily washing the person in cold water,
especially the neck, breast, arms, feet, &cc.
This may be rendered easy by habit, and
safe at all seasons, by commencing in
warm weathar, and rubbing with a rough
cloth until a glow is excited. This will
always be found, and under any exposure,
a means of security from cold—that fruit
ful source of consumption and death.
6th. A due regard to the ease and com
fort of Clothing.
Some of these points are so important,
that we again say—
Observe to—l. Rise early and never
sit up late. 2. Wash the body every morn
ing with cold water, rubbing well with a
rough towel. 3. Sleep in rooms well and
thoroughly ventilated. 4. Correct symp
toms of plethora and indigestion, by eating
less for a few days. 5. Never eat late
hearty suppers, especially of animal food.
6. Keep the feet warm, the head cool, and
the body open, and the physicians aid will
be seldom required.
The pickpockets, it is said, made a haul
of about $20,000, in the aggregate, at the
Baltimore Convention.

is numbered—say from No. 1 up to No. 5,000 in
clusive—and from an equal number of tickets
are drawn, say ten, or as many as the number of
presents offered, which will be given to the
holders ol the corresponding numbers. Not less
than ten Prizes have been offered with every
number; and among these have been such as
Harpers’ Illuminated Bible, complete ; Ency
clopedia American in 13 vols.; complete wofks
of Sir Walter Scott, in 10 volumes; Prescott’s
Conquest of Mexico; Works of Shakspeare,
with 40 steel engravings; Farmer’s Encyclope
dia ; Brande’s do.; Alison’s History ol Europe,
&c. &c. &.C. Each ol thei-e works, and a host
o. others of a similarly high character, have been
thus distributed, in this lair and impartial man
ner, among the subscribers and purchasers of
;.hi3 Magazine.
file certificate of any of our Agents or any
l-'ostmaster will insure the prompt delivery of
every prize we offer.
As the publication of this Magazine is not in
tended to be of any direct profit, after paying
editors and contributors, we shall offer similar
prizes for every number, increasing their num
ber and value with the increase of its circula
tion.
Each number, after the first, will contain the
drawings of the past, and the announcement of
the future literary prizes ; and we hope, by pub
lishing a periodical of sterling value and attrac
tion, with such a system of magnificent induce
ments, to give anew impulse to the cause of
literature.
ILT Editors of papers, who copy this announce
ment, or give its substance editorially, wiihbe
entitled to numbered copies in exchange.
Mail subscribers, at three dollars per annum,in
advance, will receive numbered copies through
out the year, giving chances for fifty-two mag
nificent Prizes. Two copies for $5.
In ail cases, we shall be accountable for the
full amount of advance subscriptions sent to us
post-paid, or franked by any postmaster.

NEW VOLUME.
fIXHE Third Volume of the Anglo American
will be commenced on Saturday, the 27th
day of April ensuing, and we have made ar
rangements that all future numbers shall be ex
ecuted on paper unsurpassed in quality by that
of any other journal whatsoever.
Our unceasing-and sedulous cares to render
The Anglo American acceptable to the reading
public, have been so successful, that the pros
pects'of the Journal are no longer problematical,
the increase ol’ our subscription list has been far
beyond ordinary expectation, it has been onward
and steady during the whole time we hate been
before the public, and our regard to prudent
economy has thrown us out of early numbers to
a degree which has caused great disappointment
to applicants and much regret to ourselves.—
With the expectations which we feel now jus-‘
tided to entertain, and with the experience which
we have had of the past, we have resolved to
commence the New Volume with a heavy edi
tion, but would recommend an early application
for the work, to prevent disappointment, as a
large circulation is confidently anticipated.
The Anglo American has been noticed l>y
the contemporary Press, both of the United
Slates and British Provinces, to an extent that
has hardly ever been experienced by any hebdo
madal, and the encomiums which have been be
stowed upon it by hundreds of Editorial writers,
with whom we have had neither intercourse nor
connexion, encourage us in the belief that our
labors have been acceptable to the public gen
erally ; and we can assure our readers that we
are stimulated thereby to proceed vigorously, in
the hope that we shall still continue to secure
their approbation. Neither money nor exertions
shall be spared to place it in the first rank of the
literary and news Journals of the day. Great
care is taken that nothing objectionable to good
taste or correct morals shall find admission into
its columns, thus fitting it, in all respects, for the
family circle.
The Engraved Portrait of Washington, which
we present to every new subscriber for an en
tire year, is one ot the most magnificent speci
mens of art that has ever been put forth in this
country ; it is of large dimensions, being a full
length figure, and the plate being 24 inches by
16. It is copied from the celebrated painting by
Stuart, which adorns the State House at Hart
ford, Conn, and has been pronounced by many
who knew the distinguished subject of the pic
ture personally and intimately a mo6t accurate
and spirited likeness. With our Journal at so
low a price, and with this fine engraving, The
Anglo American may fairly be deemed the cheap
est publication in the world.
