from the time it was planted until it was waist
high; aud iu various annuities from a tea spuou-
lul io a quart to the stalk of eorn : iu addiliou
to which, several more particular experiments
were tried.
About a lnishel of stable manure was applied
to four adjoining stalks of corn when about three
feet high. The same quantity and quality ol
manure w as mixed w ith a quantity of Plaster atm
applied to four more stalks on the next row, aud
j a few days after a quart iff Plaster was apphe,
to oue 61 those stalks aud a pint to another.. Sal
iu different quantities was mixed with the Plu-te
nud applied to some stalks, and a little <u it wa
reserved and applied to the s;;mu stalks as mam
us three times.- It was always applied to alter
nate rows and hills of corn, it has all along
been carefully uoticed, hut at uo time during its
growsh have we beeu able to perceive even the
smallest purlitie of effect- 1 have several tunes
carried good old planters in my corn, and drawn
their attention to it; but uot one has ever agreed
that it produced any differeuce. 1 once though
I had discovered a very line effect from it; but
this circumstance or uuecdotcif it may ho so cal
led, corrected the error. 1 relate it as it shows
Iiq.w wc may be sometimes deceived.
V bile niv sons were applying the Piaster to
some corn near our house, 1 went the,e, aud ope
ning the top blades of some young corn, put the
Plaster iu them- I several times looked for those
stalks, hutcould not find them, having neglected
to mark them. Sometime after iu the morning
tny old uegru man was hoeing t iis part of the
field. 1 weet "here he was. After giving an
account of how his old mns.ter.in Virginia used
to manure his corn, and how careful he was to
_ save the uriuc of his cattle, I uoticed three stuLs
I a subtle poison, ttliieh too oil hath wrung | u f con , t j lat werc quite wet around the roots. 1
r rom virtues pure ami lucid eye the hi iter tear; ,' ' . , . . .. .
i Whose Upas breath pollutes tile passing air- | immediately concluded these were the stalks to
which I lmd applied tho plaster to the top iuslend
of the roots, aud that this mu-t have caused it to
condense or attract the dew so freely as make it
run'dowu from the stalk like it had been water
ed, thuugh I was uot positively certain these were
the same stalks. 1 went home, got sonic more
Plaster, made a memorandum of it, and returned
and applied it to three more stalks. After mar
king all of them, 1 called the old man and direc
ted him to recollect where to find them six stalks
again. “Yes tnassa,” said he. “three of them
1 uili he certain to remember.”
From the most careful experiments, aud the
most accurate, observations I could make, I am
fully convinced,iu tny own mind that Plaster Pa
ris as a manure, in this country, is of no value -
I w.uuld'ui give four pence for a wagon load of

MATERNAL LOVE.
Ts there a beam of mortal feeliqgfrco
From the impure and selfish joys of earth,
’Tis that which animates the Iieart of time
Fond mother, source of chaste maternal worth;
When like the clinging tendril of the vine
Thou fondly fold’st thy ofl’spriiig to thy breast,
And with thy arms in tender rare entw ine
That precious pledge of love in peace to rest.

PLASTER PARIS—RED CLAY. v
moil THE SOUTHERN t*L\NTKH.
Sept. 21, 1834.
Dear Sir—Have yog any curiosity to know
the effect of Plaster Paris as a manure iu this
enuutry l If you have, those observations may
he worth reading.
I went to Augusta for abarvd of it, which jud-
giug from its appearance* as well as its price,
must have keen good. It was used on two plan
tations, oue ou the river ttnd the other some miles
from any river, and peril).ps half •-« dozen miles
apart. I varied the apfitication of it iu every
way I could think of, tfiiat it might have a fair
trial; and tny good sl ot nan, thinking a ten dol-
Not -.0 with Red Clay. It is now seven orcigbt
years since I attempted to dig a cellar uuder my
house. The clay was carried into the field. Ev
ery year this clay shows its effect very plain. The
field has this yearjnen manured all over in the
drill, aud uow iu Walking over the corn, wherev
er I sec auy stalks better than the others, look
there and 1 am certain to fiud that it is where a
load of clay was tliro.vn.
I have for severalears tried experiments in the
small way, with Red Clay, which have led to
these conclusions. Red Clay is a manure; hut
the deeper it is dug from the earth, the better.—
j Galded spots, where the soil is washed off and
1 nothing left but clay, if so fixed that they cannot
i wash any more, aud manured, makes tho best
i part of tlm field. But it requires that they should
l.c very richly manured. If they would have
produced any thing and only a little manure he
applied to them it will make them produce still
less. But if clay is dug Iron: a considerable
depth, he mixed with tho manure aud applied to
those galded spots, the corn will uot pine and
burn* At this time I will not attempt to give the
reason why it is so. I ouly state what experi
ment proves to he facts, and who tries H will
fiud 1 am correct—that galded spots if lighllv ma
nured, when dry weather comes, fires aud bums
so as to produce less coru than they would make
without manure ; but if they ho very richly ma
nured, then the effect of‘he manure will he much
more visible, and more permanent than on the
other parts of the field; and that if deep dug clay
he mixed with die manure that is thrown ou those
spots, a quarter, aud oven a half less manure
will make them productive.
Clay deeply dug uo where shows its effect
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
To muke gopilyeast in summer, is a desirable
object with every housewife. She may have
sucii by the following simple process.
Boil a single handful of Imps (v iiicli ev ery
laimci can and ought to raise, to tlie extent qf
liousHinld wants,) uftvvo or three quarts •• (wa
ter—strain aud thicken ,tlm liquor, when hoi,
with rye Hour; then add two or S small yeast
or turnpike cukes, to set the vuiss. If this is
done at evening, it will be fit, JoV ure earlynext
morniivg. Reserve a pint of .this y< asi, which
thicken with Indian meal, nnike into small
cakes the size of crackers, and dry them in tlm
shade, lor future use. In this way the yeast
is always fresh and active. Yeast cakes kept
a long time are apt to become rancid, 'and
lose their virtues. The fresher'the cakes toe
better the yeast.
Junket,—is a term applied to a dis'; which
every farmer’s wile can readily make, and
which constitutes an excellent light loud lot'
all classes during the lfe.it of summer. It is
merely milk curdled by tiie addition of a iiilic
roimet half an hour before dinner, aud season
ed to the taste. First prepare your rennej for
use by cleaning, salting, stretching and drying
tiie skin. When dry .cut in pieces as big as a
dpilar, and put theft) into blown sugar. When
wanted lbr use, put one or two of the pieces
into hail a gill uf cold water half an hour before
Wanted. Season the milk with sugar, nutmeg,
iqd wine, il desired, then add. the water in
w.iicli the rennet lias been soaked, stii the
whole well,aud in fifteen.minutes it »vill be fit
for use. Milk from 2 to 4 quarts.
'To Boil Green Corn.—Take it fresh from
the stuck, husk and put it into a kettle or pot
of boiling .vater, and cover it well with the in
ner husks. Green corn sonns grows vapid
after it is picked and husked; the husks, in
the kettle, preserve its fine fresh flavor.
- TojJiafiC Currant Jelly.r—Take ihe juice
of red currants and white sugar equal quanti
ties in weight. Stir it gently and smoothly fur
3 hours, pul it into glasses, and iu 3 days i:
will concrete into a firm jelly.
'To make a Minute Pudding.—Stir flour
into boiiing milk, to the consistence of a ihm
hasty pudding, and iu 15 or 20 minutes it will
be fir for the table. Serve will) sauce to suit
the taste.—Cultivator.
Substitute for Indellible Ink.—Boil in wa-
ter.su?ne parchment; or pieces oi’.fiae gloves,
until it is leduced to a paste. Apply to its
surface while still warm, a porcelain dish which
has been held over a smoking lamp; the lamp-
black which adheres to it will become detach
ed andjniingle with the paste cr glue. Re
peat .he operation until the composition has
acquired the requisite color. It is not neces
sary to grind it. It flows as freely from the
pencil as India Ink, anti :.is the same transpa
rency.
Tickle for Meat.—The following recipe lias
beeu handed us for publication :—To -1 galls,
of water, add 6 ibs. of salt, 1 lb. ut^egar, and
2 oz. of saltpetre. B .1 N skim it, and .when
cold pour it upon the .meat, which should be
previously packed in a cask. This [fickle is
equally good for beef, park iiatns or mutton.
Meat suited in this way will retain it.; flavor
after 9 or 10 weeks, equally as good as when
only 2 oro days old, and will be remark sbly
tender. The pickle should bo scalded once in
6 or 8 weeks, and at each scalding 1.} lbs. of
salt should he added, or if foul it should be re
newed. Meat should always be kept entirely
under brine.—Farmer’s Advocate.
The receipt below for making small beer I or
tbi- hot weather is too good to remain so little,
known. If you are disposed to insert it in your
