AGRICULTUR A L.
“Kwp tlic Cate Slnit.”
An English firmer was one (lay at
work in his fields, when he saw a par
ty of huntsmen riding about his farm.
Ho had one field that he was special
ly anxious they should not ride over,
as the crop was in a condition to bo
badly injured by the tramp of horses.
So he dispatched one of his workmt n
to this held, telling him to shut the
gate, and tlien keep watch over it,
and on no account suffer it to be open
ed. The boy went as he he was bid
den ; but was scarcely at his post, bo
fore the huntsmen came up, peremp
torily ordering the gate to bo opened.
This the boy declined to do, stating
the orders he had recived, and his de
termination not to disobey them.—•
Threats and bribes were offered alike
in vain—one after another came for
ward as spokesmen, but all with the
same result; the boy remained im
moveable in his determination not to
open the gate. After a while one of
noble presence advanced, and said in
commanding tones : “My boy, you do
know me. I am the Duko of Wel
lington-one not accustomed to bo
disobeyed ; and I command you to
open that gate, that I and my friends
may pass through.” The boy lifted
his cap and stood uncovered before the
man whom ail England delighted to
honor, then answered firmly: “I am
euro the Duke of Wellington would
not wish me to disobey orders. I must
keep the gate shut, nor suffer any one
to pass but with my master’s express
permission.”
Greatly pleased, the sturdy old war
rior lifted his own hat and said : “I
honor the man or boy, who can be
neither bribed nor frightened into do
ing wrong. With an army of such
soldiers I could conquer the world.”
And handing the boy a glittering sov
ereign, the old Duke galloped away,
while the boy ran off to his work,
shouting at the top of his voice, “Hur
rah, hurrah ! I’ve done what Napo
leon couldn’t do—l’ve kept out the
Duke of Wellington.”
Use of Hie Roller.
The uses of the field roller are so
many more than is generally supposed,
and so important, that a brief discus
bion will not be out of placo.
All good farmers have it; this is in
its favor. It is cheapj any farmer
can make it if necessary, But what
does it subserve ? is the question put
by many’. It subserves many uses,
the simple roller does ; its otlice is to
press aud smooth.
To prepare the meadow for the mow
ing machine is considered by many to
bo its principal business which it is
not, for many meadows are freed from
stones, and many have never had
them. Still the roller is found in ac
tive use on such farms.
One of the principal uses of the rol
ler is to press the roots of the grass in
to the soil, roots that would otherwise
have suffered and some of them with
ered. But press them down early in
the spring and they secure moisture
and nourishment. Grass entirely
thrown out cannot bo saved ; but that
which is only partly displaced may be
benefitted. This has been tested for
years on the old homestead farm.—
Parts of fields that were rolled started
earlier in the spring and yieldod bet- j
ter; this invariably.
How easy it is for farmers to tost
this. Let them get out their roller as
eoon as the ground will admit, when
it will readily bear the horses, and
yielding enough to bo leveled by the
roller. Sometimes it is good to roll
twice instead of once. Wo like the
idea and prefer it. It does the work !
more effectually and permits of drier ,
rolling, for in no case must the ground
be too moist, for it yields to the horses’,
hoofs and dirties the roller.
Another use of importance in the
roller is the leveling of the plowed,
land, particularly sod, as in the ease
of coin, to get an even surface. It al-,
bo prevents the escape of gasses thus
secured. 801 l the way it was plowed.
Sowed land is benefitted by the rol
ler, especially wheat; this needs tho
packing effects of the roller. It is al
bo good on corn ground after the corn
is planted ; potatoes the same ; it will
prepare land for the cultivator and
plow.
Then there is some land that is
lumpy; this needs the crushing and
leveling effect of tho roller; roll early
in the spring.
Then the whole farm should be
rolled ; it pays, though it seems not to.
Careful attention will convince any
one of this, and it is the only thing
that will. No one has an excuse of
the time spent, as it occurs when oth
er work is not crowding. Try the rol
ler ; test it thoroughly, and note intel-1
ligently its effect Try it for more
than a year.
Liquid Glue. —The French method
making a strong gluo that may be
us*d cold is as follows : Place 2 lbs. of
best pale glue in a quart of soft wa
ter ; let this digest by placing the ves
sel in a larger one containing boiling
wator; when the solution is complete,
let it cool while gradually stirring in
7 ounces of nitric acid; bottle with
tight stopping. This is very strong,
and will not gelatinize.
Cement for Mending China and
Glass. —We have already given two
or three receipts for mending broken
china and glass, and now we give an
other, furnished by a correspondent,
which is the simplest and cheapest we
have ever seen : Bub the edge of the
fractured parts with carriage varnish
(ordinary varnish will not do), then
join them nearly together, and let
stand two or three days. When thor
oughly dried the fracture will hardly
bo perceived, and will not bo effected
by ordinary heat— Rock nicer Farmer.
Corns in Horses' Foot.
These are troublesome ailments to
horses are very’ liable, and which in
jure and ruin tlousands of horses.—
They are wholly accidental, no horse
having any peculiar tendency to them,
but being always brought on by some
improper pressure, usuully of the shoe
or from getting between the shoe and
the horny heel. A shoe too long worn
is a very’ common cause, aud still
more frequent one is the clubbing the
heels ot the shoe ; neither is it neces
sary to the production of corns that
the 6hoe itself should press on the sole,
but they are equally produced when
the outer horn of the heels or of bars
is the immediate offending part ren
dered 60 by too luxuriant growth by
unequal wear or by secondary pressure
from the shoe, or by gravel working
in. It is the fleshy sole itself that is
bruised, from which a speck of extrav
asated blood follows, and, if not im
mediately relieved, it gathers or the
part becomes defective, and, instead of
forming healthy horn, it always after
ward forms a spoengy substance of
extremo sensibility, aud is liable to
produce pain when exposed to press
i ure. Cure. —Take off the shoe, nave
i the sole pared, and apply (with a fcath
' er) spirits of salt to the seat of corn,
and in shoeing be very careful to keep
I the shoo off the part by putting on a
: felt sole.
Domestic Kecci|»cs.
To Keep Quinces. —Let me tell the
lady readers of the Farmer how to keep
quinces. l’ut them in a stone jar,
cover with cold water, changing ev
ery week, aud they will keep a year.
Cement fob I’ickle and Preserve
Jabs. —To two ounces the best gum
tragacanth, add six gills of cold wa
ter, aud three graius of corrosive sub
limate. Set in a warm place for two
or three days, frequently stirring it to
assist the solution. This will be found
I a very useful paste for labels, or for
I pasting paper over jars, holding pick
les, preserves, fruits, etc., provided it
does not come in contact with the con
diment, to avoid which the jars should
, be first covered with paper or bladder,
i aud then with the pasted paper.
S. B. S.
Sweet Apple Pudding. —Take one
pint of scalded milk, half a pint of In
dian meal, a teaspoonful of salt, and
six sweet apples, cut in small pieces,
will afford an excellent rich jelly.—
This is one of the most luxurious yet
simple puddings made.
Cold Cream. —Melt one ounce of the
finest wax v. ith four ounces of oil of
almonds, over a very slow fire, and
add gradually a quarter of a pint of
! distilled rose water, stirring it until
cold. Very good for chapped hands,
; sore lips, &c.
Little Cakes. —To make with the
whites of eggs. Two cups of sugar,
one small cup of butter, one cup of
milk, the whites of six egg3, three and
a half cups of Hour, with two teaspoon
ful ot soda, added the last thing ; fla
vor with a little nutmeg and cinna
mon.
Graham Floub Muffins. —One pint
of sour milk, a small teaspoonful of
soda, one teaspoonful of 6iigar, Gra
ham flour euongli to make a thick
batter. Bake in rings, or drop the
batter in spoonfuls on a square tin.—
Ali tie salt should bo added to the
' batter before baking.
| Cement fob Tops of Bottlen ob Jabs.
—Take equal parts of brick dust and
resin, pounded fine, and a lump of
beeswax. Stow them together, and
keep in an old tin, melting it when
you W’ant to 6eal your jars.
Water Cake. —One teacup of su
gar , two eggs, half a cup of butter,
one teacup of water, two cups of flour,
two teaspoonfuls of cream tarter, one
of soda; beat the butter and eggs to
a cream ; then add the other ingredi
ents ; stir well and bako quick ; flavor
with nutmeg or lemou.
To Take Stains out or "White Mar
ble. — Take 1 ox-gall, 1 wine-glassful
of soap less, one-half wine-glassful of
turpentine; mix and make into a paste
with pipe clay, l’ut on the paste over
the stain and let it remain for several
days. If the stain is not fully re
moved a second application will gen
erally prove sufficient.
To Render Lard. —ln making lard,
the best way is to take the “left” and
all the fat portions, cut them with a
sharp knife iuto small square bits,
thou fill a big kettle with pork thus
cut up, put in a pint or so of water,
and as the fat rises to tho top dip it
off iuto stone jars. If care is taken to
keep everything very clean aud not
scorch the cracklings, the lard will be
as white as wax and nearly as hard.
Chinf.se Cement oh Glue. This
preparation is often sold as liquid
glue, and is mado of one part of or
ange shellac (broken small), digested
in two parts of rectified spirit. It is
strong and inoadorous, and should be
of the consistency of molasses. Wood
can be joined so effectually by this ce
ment as to make it difficult to break
in the same place.
Household Weights and Measures.
—Wheat flour, one pound is one
quart. Indian meal, one pound two
ounces in one quart. Butter, when
soft, one pound is one quart. Loaf
sugar, broken, one pound is one quart.
White sugar, powdered, one pound
one ounce is one quart. Best brown
sugar, one pound two ounces is one
quart. Eggs, average size, ten are
one pound. Liquid measure.—Six
teen tablespoonsiul are half a pint.
Stick to One Thing. —Every young
man after he has chosen his vocation,
should 6tick to it Don’t leave it be
cause hard blows aro to be struck, or
disagreeable work performed. Those
who have worked their way up to
wealth and usefulness do not belong
to tho shiftless and unstable class, but
may be reckoned among such as took
off their coats, rolled up their sleeves,
and conquered their prejudices against
labor, and manfully bore tho heat and
burden of the day.

Established in 1852—Formerly at Double Wells.
ALSO, A GENUINE PATTERN OF
The GrtewoM
THE UNDERSIG NED, having resumed the manufacture of the above Gin,
*• pr pose to make it what it was before Lie war—“ The favorite of the
Bouth.” Our work stands upon its merits, and we think this a sufficient guar
antee. "We have secured the services of some cf the best mechanical talent
in the Northern shops, in i ddition to somo of the best workmen from the shop
of the late Samuel Griswold. Mr. Chas. Gardner, who served eight years
apprenticeship under E Carver & Cos., at Eaet Bridgewater, Mass., and who
tvas employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells shop, from the com
mencement of the manufacture of the Moore Cotton Gin, until i’s suspension,
is again at Lis post, and will give each Gin bis person al inspection bifure it
leaves the shop.
In calling the attention of planters to our Cotton Gins, we desire that they
hould notice the improvements we offer, which are substantially as follows
-A. PORTA BLE ROLL BOX,
For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grate, is used ; the object of
which is to improve in the quantity ginned, lessen the quantity and improve
the quality ot lint. Also, to giu damp or wot cotton ; to alter the picking or
separating the lint from the seed—either to take more lint off, or less lint from
the seed, us circumstances require. We use both the common Roll Box and
a Swinging Front. The latter is arranged to let out all the seeds aud bulls
in a moment, and is very easily managed.
THE GIN BRUSH
We meke, cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. The bristles are all
drawn in by a cord, and the timber is all selected from the best lumbor, well
seasoned • and every brush is made perfectly fire and rat proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES,
Are both oscillating and plain. Cenfurnish either, as may be ordered. We
line them with the best babbit metal.
GIN SAWS.
We make nil the saws that we use from the best English Cast Steel, andet
any size that may be desired. We employ, to superintend and manufacjtn
our saws, one of the best saw-makers in the Soutn, aud our machinery for the
manufacture of Gin Saws caonot be excelled.
COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILE
We are the only successful manufacturers of this important and useful in
vention—the Cotton Gio, with the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. I
will hardly be necessary here to allude to the immense saving and economica
