With a climate not to In* excelled ; with a fair soil which if intelligently cultivated, will respond honntHjjlly to eyory |ipr suasive turn givon it; with all the adjuncts of social, political and religious liberties, are we happy ? are we contented I or are all these favors perverted by an unhallow ed dpsii'p thnt tdir wm>D nmy be gratilied without the necessary mental and physical ell'ort ? Fellow toilers in the noble cause —I am one who was born, cradled aim nurtured in the field, (not much by the fireside,) and 'bilk jo yot| from experimental knowledge; therefore, do not think me a novice detailing terms which cannot be realized. We are all subject to certain laws which are inexorable and universal ; therefore we should cheerfully submit, to their execu tion. To understand these laws, we must read them intelligently. Mature exacts an equivalent for every lender of her service. You cannot, have something for nothing. This being accepted as a f.-yjd, the next .question present ed is, “how can we get the most lor the least labor?” Labor is (mi capital, and il we are stingy in our expenditures, we must, reap a scanty harvest. I’heie is, how ever, a possibility (hat even this capital may lie entirely exhaust ed; therefore a judicious econo my should he observed, especial ly so far as il may apply as a per sonal caution. I did not commence this com mimication with the design of ex plaining the best, or on/ way, of cultivating cotton, corn or cane; neither I lie great number of veg ; etaldes, tiie production of which contributes so much to a family’s necessities; but rather to urge a lit(lo extravagance in tin* exer cise of our energies in producing t belli in great abundance. Why ? Physical strength and mental vi gor are alike the result of a per feet assimilation of healthy food, and I regret much to say that, i with most of ns, even the raw ma terial is not very abundant where with our wives and daughters can prepare or supervise a meal, the quality and quantity of which are both absolutely necessary to sup ply the wasted force of an active husbandman, If this supply of converted energy is not restored by an inexhaustible supply of an inviting diet, rit/ht here, mul then commences the process of suffer ing, individual, agricultural, etc., and what is still more lamentable a depreciation of physical man hood . I would not he understood to designedly convey the idea that most of us have not enough to eat . such as it is. But corn bread and bacon, day after day, by the week, month and year, are not the required material to build up and sustain a healthy organization, capable of endurance, necessary for physical enjouucnt, )Vitli a constant and inhibiting aetivi tv, demanded ol a successful cul 1 ivalor of the soil. It we possess the will, mother earth will respond to every re quest made in reason, to gratify the most fastidious cravings. We need not go outside of our own tields for an inexhaustible supply of both substanlials and j luxuries. Our climate favors the production of vegetation ten months out of twelve,and if from an imlillbroHoe in brain action or I lie Wipit qf muscular motor pow er, \ye I'ajl to furnish our tables with it needed supply of eatahlqg we must pay the penalty, by feel ing in ourselves and wituoumng it* ot)v lumilimi evidences of men tal and physical dejection,result ing from a deficiency in alimen tation. There is no compensating ole meat wbicli may he looked for outside of ouro\yn domain which can answer the demands of phys ical exhaustion so well as tin* fruit ol our own labor. I*l,A IN Talk, Food for IMaufs. Ammonia is of tin* most impor tant element in nature in its re lalion to growing plants and crops. It consists of nitrogen fourteen parts, united lo three I parts of hydrogen. First, in the decay of animal bodies, by the direct union of nitrogen with a portion of hydrogen, of which j they consist ; second, by the | comhinaf ion of a port ion of hy drogen of the decaying plants with I In* nitrogen; third, when both animal and vegetable sub j stances decompose in contact with air and water, as is the case when these substances are cover ed by the soil. Quick lime should never be thrown upon the dung heap, as the ammonia in it will be dissipated in the form of gas. But the sulphate of lime (ground plaster) may la* should be free ly used in the stable and on the yard manure to hold the ammonia in tin* form of the sulphate, in which form it may be retained with the manure and greatly add to its value in increasing the pro duct of crops. Nitric acid in a pure state con sists of fourteen parts of nitrogen ; and forty of oxygen, so that nilro gen in plants is derived from the ammonia and nitric acid, both of which are freely formed in the | soil and in the air. Every Hash of lighting generates nitric acid in air. Substances containing intro 1 gen are necessary to produce the ! varied changes which take place in tlie sap of the plant at tjiedif ferent stages of growth, hence the necessity of nitrogen in the form ot ammonia, nitric acid, or in manures and fertilizers con tabling these nitrogenous com [rounds. Remember that in am monia there are fourteen parts of j nitrogen and three of hydrogen, and in nitric acid there are four teen parts of nitrogen and forty oxygen, and that tin* air contains seventy-nine parts of nitrogen and only twenty one bfoxygen. The leaves of the plants in the j sun exhale nitrogen, but at all 1 irnes absorb ammonia. Professor .lames Johnston says I the probabilities are in favor of the veiw that animal or vegetable I substances containing nitrogen, when brought into a soluble slate I by fermentation, may enter di rectly into roots, ami feed our crops, without being first decom posed either into ammonia or in to nitric acid. Ammonia exists in all ferment ing aniinaPsubsfances and large ly in the mine of animals; that in the latter is too often allowed to pass off in a gaseous form into the atmosphere. Ground plaster ap plied freely to the horse stable and cow stables changes this vo latile salt into a fixed sulphate which is soluble and always ready to apply to corn or other crops wit h or without barnyard manure. Whenever stable or manure heaps smell of ammonia that val liable manure is being lost in the atmosphere, and to animals in stables it is positively hurtful. The sickness and loss of sight in our horses in city stables is largK ly dependent upon the escape oi\ this free this of J tensive, deleterious* and as ma nure valuable element may be. corrected, rendered and preserved a . a most adjunct to our barnyard uvanpreti Sulphate of ammonia may Ix3 most advantageously applied to\ cold, damp, mossy lands, where it acts more beneficially than lime. It may he applied in the , hill to corn, potatoes, turnips' oiy. applied as a top dressing, thJ B good effect of which is almost i ’ii vj sfantaneous. A guidance wide M will revive drooping cut flowptel and plants in a most astonislilldß manner can but be appreohiljH "hi'ii applied In growing i-.jjpsai ll is to be regretted that so farmers save and utilized. • ? l’lie erode sulphate is cxpeu&j sive. rdi (No. ft. Old Fashioned Pumpkins, \ this good, old fashioned vegc n table, so long and favorably J known in Mew Flngjand, almost indesponsible in the culinary amifti domestic department, lias of la!-a# years been degenerating through negligence or other causes. Oili er vegetables have been substi tilted and made to supply its place partly or wholly, So far as m.v taste is concerned, an old fashion'd New England pumpkin lic, rightlymade, has not its si'Mjl permrin any of its modern substill tutes. Many cultivators rate thiVs vegetable too low, entirely, as 1 food lor milch cows, svine andat cattle. I can recall the tinuvV when pork was principally mudisV by feeding boiled pumpkins and* potatoes, with the addition off/! small <| 11 anti I y of ground grain tur bran, and the pork was as sweet and good, spent as well, as any we get nowadays fed more oxclo I sively on corn and meal. When" fed in milch cows they gave good returns in the milk pail and rich yellow butter for the table or market. Also in fattening beef this was an important item of feed. The greatest objection to it is the great bulk ami storage in proportion to nutriment, and one which is not easily set one side. Pumpkins are easily raised, and when grown among corn, ns was | a common practice, good crop* ; were obtained without percepti ble detriment to the corn crop, and with very little extra labor' I hey may be kept in in a dose warm barn. W. H. YV. F.nglish Bacon. In England the preparation of bacon is carried on very exten sively and systematically in fac lories specially constructed and tilted up for the purpose. The plan commonly adopted there is as follows: After being fasted twenty four hours the pig is taken to the slaughter house and killed. Ile is I hen hung up by I lie bind legs, singed by means of gas lights, scraped, opened, cleaned by powerful jets of water and I dressed. When the carcass lias ' become cool and firm* -which is generally the ense? , r about | twelve hours, it is ready for hon ing or cut ting up. This is done by placing the pig on a strong table, and culling olf the ears close lo (be head. The tore feet are then removed, and the hind feet, so as to leave a shank to the ham. The carcass is then divided straight along the hack, and the shoulder blade taken out. flic sides are now ready for salting. Each side is laid singly on the floor of a cold cellar, and dressed with a mix ture nl saltpetre and salt, lour ounces ol saltpetre being used lor each side, together with a quantity ol salt corresponding to the size ot the side. Brine is al so forced into the flesh by means ol a force pump and jet. The next day (besides are piled one above tin* other, remaining so for four days, when they are turned over and sprinkled with more sal!. I bus thev remain for twelve days, when they are washed and dried. They are then taken to the smoking house, where they hang for tliree days, being con tinuously smoked during that time with the (times of burning oak saw dust, thus acquiring the desired color and llavor. The sides, when cold, are readv for market. Fine Shin glen. —Pine shingles, dipped in boiling lime-water, will lasi much longer than when used without this preparation."
