TO THE PUBLIC.
The flattering reception, and extensive circulation with which
our first number has been honoure, have induced the Editor and
Proprietor of the New Ingland homer's Almanac to renovated
exertions to render the present in ome degree worthy of the ap-
probation, which has crowned con diary of 1828. Our object has
been to collect from every accessible source, such information as
we hope will be found to be of the greatest utility to the greatest
number of those for whose use an Agricultural Almanac is more
particularly calcula e. But, although this little Tablet of Time
is specially intended freth benefit of those who are actually and
actively engaged in the pursuits of Husbandry, yet it may, per-
haps, prove in some degree interesting to other classes in the
community.icure is that all in all, without which every
thing valuabl wald soon cease to be. Though all mankind are
not cultivators, yet all civis uman beings are consumers of
the products of cultivation, a brave the efore a direct and para-
mount interest in that art, to which this little duodecimo is devoted.

"All Nature's difference keeps all Nature's peace,"
And some things wane that others may increase;
The elements quarrel, so do man and wife,
And heaven itself has been the seat of strife.
But we will state, to make our meaning plain,
The operations of a grand campaign.
About this time, as almanack-makers say,
We shall behold the following affray:

JANUARY, first month.
Old General FROST commands one General CHARGE,
Tattack our northern hemisphere at large;-
Brigadier BOREAS threatens in a trice,
To change our continent to a mass of ice;
But now comes General JANUARY THAW,
Who heads a flurry, and who wields a flaw
Of tepid south wind, flanked by General RAIN,
Routs General Frost, and dissipates his train,
Who send away on whirring wings of sleet,
And General TEMPEST covers the retreat.

The hand of industry is now excluded
From glebe and garden, winter has denuded;
The landscape stripp'd, its garniture laid low,
Seems dead and wrapp'd in winding sheet of snow.
Well, since stern winter drives us from the fields,
We'll cull the fruits the social fireside yields,
And cultivate those intellectual flowers,
Which shed their sweets o'er winter's dreariest hours.
Having well listed, please to close the door,
And when the north wind roars, why-let him him roar:

FEBRUARY, second month.
But see the blasterer no admission gains,
Thro' yawning crevices and broken panes.
Please to be seated near the social fire,
Just point blank eye-shot from the nymph you admire;
(Though this cold weather furnishes, you know, sir,
A good apology for sitting closer).
Let books and conversation then impart
Their mental opulence to head and heart,
And you will find, while pleasure gilds the hour,
Knowledge is happiness, as well as power.

FARMER'S CALENDAR.
There are some people upon whom
time and especially winter time, hangs
so heavily, that they are ready to hang
themselves to, get rid of the burthen.
Attempting to kill the lagging hours.
they kill themselves by dissipation.-
Those who undertake to make a busi-
ness of pleasure will soon find that plea-
sure will have no business with them;
and that happiness, like other coquettes
never hesitates to cut the acquain-
tauce of those silly sycophants, who
do nothing but dangle after her. Plea
sant emp oyment is man's best enjoy
ment, and cares, when not carking
constitute his chief comforts. Idleness
is mischief, and mischief is misery!
Dress out hemp and flax, and see that
your spinning wheels come within one
of perpetual motion. For every cent
saved in domestic manufactures you
gain at least three cents. One cent
you gain by the greater durability of
homespun articles; one cent you save
of cash not paid for the purchases, and
one cent, or, perhaps countless cents
by bringing up your family to habits
of thrift and industry. Nurse your
feeding your ewes, and such other at-
lambs by judiciously and plentifully
tentions as every sheep-owner knows
or ought to know are requisite. The
coarser materials intended for fodder
such as husks, cut straw, &c., should

Stern winter now, while slowly giving way,
Though fairly baffled, still keeps up the fight,
Yields to the prowess of the God of Day,
But turns and rallies every frosty night :-
Still the bright conqueror soon makes up arrears,
His means full adequate his ends t' obtain;
So the good man, who duly perseveres,
With proper means, will proper objects gain,-

MARCH, third month.
By counteraction, than he stood before
Disaster gives the signal to aspire,
Defeat to victory opens wide the door.
See that your life is fitted with an aim,
Quite worthy all your industry and zeal ;
And every foreign tendency disclaim
With that decision which forbids appeal.
Then, having reached to fair ambition's height,
You'll stand secure, by meriting your place;
But he who rises by a sudden flight,
Finds power is but his passport to disgrace.

APRIL, fourth month.
To every bud of joy apply a sickle,
And hunt down pleasure, wheresoe'er it ranges.
See that your boots and shoes are water-proof,
Your feet keep dryer than a dull discourse,
From all excesses hold yourself aloof,
Or, by and by, you?ll be a little hoarse ;-
Will next be troubled with a "hacking cough,"
Which causes invalids no slight distress;
At length to sumption fairly takes you off,
Poor victim of a little carelessness.

Her wayward freaks and fancies.

With now and then a pleasant day,
She's mostly foul and foggy.
For now a dull North Easter blows,
From horrible ice islands;
Now blasts from everlasting snows,
Which crown the polar highlands.
And when these blasts are made to tell
For zephyrs by a rhymer,
The tinklings of a crack'd sheep bell
Sound sweeter and sublimer.

JUNE, sixth month.
With means and leisure to get loose,
Stays coop'd up in the city.
How pleasant 'tis, with lady sweet,
To go a botanizing,
From Flora's cabinet complete
Cull specimens surprising.
Since this for making love must be
About the nick of time, sir,
Perhaps you'd better come to me.
And have it put in rhyme, sir.

to be preferred; but where flavour
and richness are the objects soiling
with clover, lucerne, &c. and two or
three hours pasturage each day, for the
sake of exercise, is the preferable sys-
tem, where the labour can be spared.
It is said by some foreign writers, in
substance, that a field of mowing
ground, in good heart, mown, and
the grass eaten green, will produce
treble the quantity of milk it would
have done if pastured, and four times
as much as it would do in the form of
dry hay.
Hay making will soon claim your
attention, and you should, even now,
have every thing in ample order. If
your mowing ground is level, you will
do well to use a horse rake, which will
greatly facilitate your labours.

I wish he'd let us breathe awhile,
And fry some other fishes.
But every good which man can know
Has evil to alloy it;
Each cup of bliss is dash'd with wo,
Ere mortals may enjoy it.
Still, all is right, well understood,
(A truth of Pope's rehearsal,)
The evil partial, but the good
Is great and universal.

Haying and harvesting are now
pressing avocations. Still there are
some other things which will require
supermtendence. The weather being
hot, cattle or sheep in fields must be
frequently looked to, and you will see
that they do not suffer for want of
shade, water and abundant food.
When pinched by hunger and thirst,
it is almost as difficult to confine them
as it was baron Trenck, and your In-

not now in circumstances to receive
the visitations of ravenous animals
without being so much damnified that
their owners will not be very easily in-

And listen to well meant advice of a friend,

So far as your own good example may tend.

Now bloated with brandy, now reeling with rum,
Now stuffing with whiskey a spanish brown skin full.
With the fire of the elements raging without,
If the fire of the still is consuming within,
A body of adamant soon must give out,
And the steel-sinewed laborer soon must give in.
A man had much better be burnt at the stake,
For thus he will finish his troublés much quicker,
Than his own carcase take a blue blaze to make,
And be burning for years with the fire of strong liquor.

trees. Wounds in trees do not bleed
at this time of year as in spring and in
autumn, but they heal, and are in part
covered over with bark, before the ap-
proach of winter. You will do well to
inspect with a critical eye your fruit
trees, as well as your garden vegeta-
bles, and if you find them infested
with plant lice, shower over them de-
coctions of tobacco with a watering
pot or garden engine. As soon as your
harvesting is through, plough in such
parts of your richest, stubble fields as
you intend for darnips; dress your tur-
p ground with plaster, live or leach-
ed ashes, or well rotted manure, and
sow and harrow in your seed at the
rate of one pound to an acre.
Some farmers are of opinion that
August is as good a time as any to
lay lands down to grass. Loudon says
"Grass seeds sown alone at this sea-
son will generally succeed better than
at any other; they germinate as well
in the spring, but the heats of July
often burn up the tender plants. Look
over your fruit trees, which have late-
ly been budded or grafted, and permit
no shoots from the stocks to remain,
lest they rob the grafts of their nour-
istment. Soaking corn for swine is a
useful practice; grinding it is still bet-
ter
if a wash or mixture for swine be
permitted to ferment till it becomes
sweet, with a little acid, it will be
the better; but it should not be per-
mitted to become very sour, much less

It may very truly be said
That his is a noble vocation,
Whose industry leads him to spread
About him a little creation.
He lives independent of all
Except the Omnipotent Donor,
Has always enough at his call,
And more is a plague to its owner.
He works with his hands, it is true,
But happiness dwells with employment;

SEPTEMBER, ninth month.
And he who has nothing to do
Has nothing by way of enjoyment.
His labors are mere exercise,
Which saves him from pains and physicians:
Then, farmers, you truly may prize
Your own as the best of conditions.
From competence, shar'd with content,
Since all our felicity springs,
Cultivators need not care a cent
For conquerors, statesmen, or kings.

By which the hind amasses
Sweet food for cows and heifers.
The fields of corn are studded,
With ears of golden glowing,
And all the land is flooded
With bounties overflowing.
O then the tribute render
To the Almighty Giver,
Of all the heart can tender,
And all the tongue deliver.

ter the tops, have attained their full
growth." Still, however, they should
be harvested before the occurrence of
those soaking rains, which generally
precede the setting in of winter. If
potatoes are dried in a hot sun, they
are apt to turn green, and become un-
wholesome. Judge, Buel, of Albany,
gives us the following maxims:-1st.
The best potatoes are grown upon
cold, moist, but porous and rich soils.
2d! It were better that the sun never
should shine upon them--that they
should be housed with all the dirt
that adheres to them that it is ben-
eficial to add more dirt in the bin or
cask to exclude external air as much
as possible. And 3d. That their sur-
face should be kept moist, and the at-
mosphere which surrounds them as lit-
tle above the point of freezing as pos-
sible." Gather your fruit intended to
be kept through winter carefully hy
hand, in the middle part of a dry
day, not in the morning before the
dew is evaporated, nor in the evening
when it begins to be deposited." You
may then put them down in dry sand,
as soon as picked, without letting them
lie in heaps as some do, for the purpose

good fruit by making it into bad cider.
Instead of manufacturing a delectable
beverage, compared with which even
nectar itself is nought but non-en ity,
he gives you a villanous compound,
which defies chemical analysis, but
resembles most a mixture of bilge
water acidulated with aqua fortis.
In order to avoid this consummation,
devoutly to be deprecated, you should
proceed as follows to wit:-For store
cider of the first rate, gather your ap-
ples as late as the first of November,
and let them lie till mellow, but not
rotten. Grind them in a trough large
enough to hold a cheese, and let the
pomace remain therein, before you
press it, from twelve to twenty four
hours, according to the temperature
of the weather. Press it slowly, and
put it into casks through straw or
cool place. Leave out the bungs till
a coarse sieve, and put the casks in a
the fermentation principally subsides.
Then drive the bungs in tight, but
leave a small spigot vent a while
longer if necessary to prevent the
barrel from bursting. Rack off in
by a process too common to need de-
January, and fumigate with sulphur,
scribing. Then, if you wish your ci-
der should be stronger than the simple
juice will make it, add from one to
three gallons of cider-spirit to each
and stop them air-tight, and let the
hogshead. Fill the vessels quite full,

AGRICULTURE AND RURAL ECONOMY
IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD GARDEN.
The importance and utility of HORTICULTURE, or the art of
cultivating those products of the soil which are used in domestic
economy, require no elaborate exposition. The greatest bles
sings which a kind Providence can bestow on man in his sublu-
nary state of existence, are, health of body and pe ace of mind
and the pursuits of gardening eminently conduce to these. Gar
dening was the primitive employment of the first man; and the
first of men, among his descendants, have ever been attached to
that occupation Indeed, we can hardly form an idea of human
felicity, in which a garden is not one of its most prominent cha-
racteristics.
Gardening is not only an innocent and healthy, but a profitable
Occupation. It is not alone by the money which is made, but
also by the money which is saved, that the profits of a pursuit
should be estimated; where a good garden constitutes part
of a rural establishment, and the culinary uses of its produc-
tions are well understood, the field or the market furnishes
a proportionably small part of the provisions necessary for family
consumption. I consider," said Dr. Deane," the kitchen gar
den of very considerable importance, as pot-herbs, salads, and
roots of various kinds, are useful in house-keeping. Having a
plenty of them at hand, a family will not be so likely to run into
the error, which is too common in this country, of eating flesh in
too great a proportion for health. Farmers, as well as others,
should have kitchen gardens; and they need not grudge the la-
bour of tending them, which may be done at odd intervals of
time, which would otherwise chance to be consumed in
loitering."
Aless
Cowley says of gardening, "It is one of the best-natured de-
lights of all others, for a man to look about him, and see nothing
but the effects and improvements of his art and diligeree; to be
always gathering some fruits of it, and at the same time to be
bold others ripening, and others budding; to see his soil covered
with the beauteous creatures of his own industry; and to see,
ike God, that all his works are good."

We shall here state, concisely, some of the principal pre-re-
quisites for successful horticulture, directing our observations,
chiefly, to what relates to the kitchen garden. Gardens are
usually classed under the following heads the kitchen garden;
the fruit garden; and the flower garden. The flower garden,
being designed principally for ornament, should be placed in the
most conspicuous part, that is, in front, or next to the back part
of the house; the kitchen garden and fruit garden may follow in
succession. With respect to the natural situation of a garden,
Nicol and Forsyth agree in preferring a gentle declivity towards
the south, a little inclining to the cast, to receive the benefit of
the morning sun. "A kitchen garden," observed Dr Deane,
should not be situated at any great distance from the house,
Test, being too much out of sight, it should be out of mind, and
the necessary culture of it much neglected." It should he placed
adjoining to a stable, whence the dung may be easily conveyed
into the enclosure. It should be sheltered, as much as can be,
from the north and east, to prevent the blighting winds from
affecting the trees. The best soil for a garden is a sandy loam,
two or three feet deep, according to Forsyth, but if deeper, the
better. The earth should not be of a binding nature in summer,
nor retentive of rain in winter, but of such a texture that it can
be worked at any season, when not frozen, without difficulty."
Dr. Deane observed, that a garden should have a close
fence, that the winds may not drive seeds of weeds into it. The
fence should be at least seven feet high, and picketed to prevent
the entrance of thieves. The height and closeness of the fence
will increase the vegetation by increasing the warmth of the air
in the garden, excepting, perhaps, the parts which are shaded
by the fences. The rage of high winde will be so opposed as to
prevent the tearing and distorting of tender plants, and fowls may
be more easily kept out Loudon remarks, that the height of
walls for training fruit trees, generally approved, is from ten to
twelve feet; but it is more commonly determined by the size and
form of the garden, and the inclination of its surface." "Many
low walls, or stout ranges of paling Abercrombie observes,
"will produce a greater total effect, in accelerating fruit, than
the same expenditure in high walls." "Fruit walls, five or six
feet high, Hitt remarks will do very well for peaches, cher
ries, vines, and figs; but he would not advise the planting of apri-
cots, plums or pears, on such walls, they requiring more room,
and to stand longer before they bear. Garden walls have been
coloured white or black, and the latter colour is justly preferred
as a Bring and refracting more heat than any other, and there-
by accelerating the maturity, and improving the quality of fruits."

HINTS TO MECHANICS.
Avoid giving long credits even to your best customers. A man
who can pay easily will not thank you for the delay; and a
stack, doubtful paymaster is not too valuable a customer to dun

sharply and seasonably. A fish may as well attempt to live with-
out water, or a man without air, as a mechanic without punctu-
ality and promptness in collecting and paying his debts. It is a
mistaken and ruinous policy to attempt to keep or get business
by delaying collections. When you lose a slack paymaster from
your books, you only lose the chance of losing your money and
there is no man who pays more money to lawyers than he who is
least prompt in collecting for himself.
Take care how you agree to pay money for your stock, your
provisions your rent, or your fuel, and take dog skins for your
work. One hand must wash the other, as poor Richard says, or
both will go to jail dirty. Every man's trade ought to bring
him money enough to pay all money demands against him; and
no man can stand it long, who does not get money enough from
his business to pay the cash expenses of carrying it on.
A PLOUGH CLEANER.
The following cut represents an implement, invented by Joseph
Kersey, of Downington, Pennsylvania. It is an appendage to a
plough, called by the inventor a Plough Cleaner," and was by
nim exhibited before the Philadelphia Agricultural Society, and
was approved of before the Committee of Inventions.

The staff b rests towards one end on the coupling round of the
plough handles; at the other end it has a mortice a, to receive
the upright.e they are connected by a pin, so as to work like a
hinge.
The upright e is placed three inches before.the coulter d, and
pinned to the beam, c, by a screw bolt, which may be passed
through either of the three holes in the upright, so that the range
can be adapted to the depth of the ploughing.
The front edge of e is made a little circular, to prevent its act-
ing as shears represents a circular steel spring, screwed on the
beam, and tied with a string to the staff b. The whole contriv
ance is placed on the land side of the plough.
The ploughman, when he wishes to use it, grasps the staff with
his left hand.
THE LOCUST TREE.
Not many of the natives of the forest rival the Locust in beauty
and foliage, and none are more valuable for timber. Its durabil
ity and hardness render it particularly suitable for application to

31
the purposes of the arts in ship building and machinery, and for
the uses of rural economy in the construction of fences. Unlike
most other trees, it invites the grass to grow under it: its small
and rounded leaves afford shade from the scorching rays of the
sun, retain the moisture of showers and dew in summer, and by
their annual deposit in autumn enrich the ground. The amelo-
rating effect on the most barren sotl, the clothing of sandy and
almost desert knolls with luxuriant herbage by the cultivation of
Locust groves, is exemplified in almost every spot where they
grow. After a few trees have been planted, little care is requir
ed for their propagation. Shoots are consequently sent up from
the roots, or young trees rise from the seeds, and in a few years
arrive to maturity. The winds of the northern winters, it must
be confessed, often impair their symmetry of form by breaking
the branches, and the value of the timber is injured by worms;
but loss from the first cause can be prevented by proper pruning,
and the destruction of the gnawing enemy effected by reason able
care. But although our climate is not the most propitious for
the growth of this tree, it is sufficiently favourable to allow of
its attaining good size with soundness.
The price at which the timber has been purchased by Govern
ment for building vessels of war, is stated at 75 cents the cubic
foot, and a supply has been procured with difficulty. The profi
which would result from the cultivation of the Locust for the
market, would be very great. The value it possesses is increas-
ed from the circumstance that it may be made the means for the
improvement of barren soils, and that the waste places may be
covered not only with groves but with luxuriant vegetation be-
neath them.-W. LINCOLN.
WORKING BULLS.
The bull is naturally vicious, and often becomes so mischievous
as to endanger valuable lives; an evil which we conceive might
be remedied by teaching him to labour. Bulls are not only brok-
en with little difficulty, and work well, but hey recover from fac
tigue much sooner than an ox.
WORKING COWS.
"Why should the cow be exempted from the labours of the
field, while the wife and daughter of the farmer are expected and
required to be daily employed in cooking, washing, baking, spin-
ning, milking, and making butter and cheese? Ought a farmer
to treat his cows more tenderly than his wife and children "" In
a work written by the famous Arthur Young, entitled "Young'
Eastern Tour," it is remarked, that "Mr.. Bakewell, a famous
English cultivator, used to draw with oxen, but now draws all
Mr. B. finds them full as handy as oxen, and that
they draw just as well as oxen of the same size. Indeed, we
can see no reason why cows should be exempted from labour any
more than mares. The only objection to cows being trained to
the yoke of which we are aware, is, that for some time before
with cows.

32
and after calving they will not be in a condition to labour. This
objection, however, applies with equal force to mares. Cows
commonly calve at a time of the year when team work is but lit
tle wanted. Besides, a farmer with considerable neat stock
might so manage that some of his cows might always be fit for
the yoke. And it is possible that working cows moderately
would serve the purpose of exercise to the human species, and
would thus strengthen the constitutions, and improve the breeds
of the animals. by imparting vigour to the breeders.
CLEANSE YOUR CELLARS.
If you wish to live half your days, be careful not to be in the
habit of breathing the gasses of putrefaction, vegetable or animal.
We do not pretend to say whether a parcel of rotting or rotten
potatoes, cabbages, turnips, and other vegetables, decaying in a
cellar will produce what is called yellow fever or not. But a kind
of fever may be manufactured from vegetable or animal putre-
faction, which may prove as, fatal, though perhaps not quite so
rapid in its progress as the genuine plague of the West Indies or
the Levant Beef brine or pork brine, suffered to stand too long,
becomes very offensive, and whatever offends the sense of smell
ing is injurious to health. We have been assured by physicians
of eminence, that they have reason for believing that bilious or
typhus fevers of a malignant and fatal kind have originated from
sources of this description.
ON DESTROYING OFFENSIVE SMELLS, PURIFYING
APARTMENTS, &c.
(Extract from a paper by Dr. Webster, Professor of Chemistry
at Harvard University. See N, E. Farmer, vol. 6. page 201)
Within a few months great use has been inade in France of a
chemical compound of chlorine gas and lime or soda, lor the pur-
pose of destroying the offensive odours arising from putrifying
animal or vegetable matters. The first use of this compound was
in a case of judicial inquiry, where it became necessary to disiu-
ter a body for examination, and by it the effluvia was destroyed
in an hour or two.
For all common purposes, the effects of the compound of lime
and chlorine, known in commerce as bleaching powder," and
bleaching salts," are similar to those of the substance used in
France under the name of Labarraque's Disinfecting Soda Liquid."
The bleaching powder must be sprinkled about an apartment,
or a small quantity thrown into a vessel wh.ph it is wished to pu
rify, or it may be dissolved in water, and cloths be dipped in
the solution, and afterwards brought into the vitiated atmosphere.
Vehicles for the removal of oflensive substances, as well as the
substances themselves, may be freed from all offensive odour by
the use of the powder, while at the same time the fertilizing
powers of those substances are remarkably increased a fact
which has been established by actual experiments.
In some situations and apartments, a few spoonfuls of the pow

33
er may be mixed with the sand with which the floors are usually
sprinkled. The many occasions, both in public and private,
where this purifying agent may be advantageously employed,
must be obvious. It is sometimes desirable to prevent the rapid
change of a dead body previous to interment; this would be ac-
complished by a small quantity of the dry powder within the cof-
fin, or by the application of the moistened cloths.
In descending into vaults, pits, sewers, &c. if the air breathed
has passed through a sponge which has been wet with the solu-
tion, the person can remain sometime without injury in situations
where others, not se provided, would infallibly be destroyed.
The use of this substance in the sick chamber will be found a
source of no slight comfort, and even safety in some diseases
and it has been applied to alcer and putrescent sores with mani-
fest advantage.
The effect of this chemical agent is not like that of vinegar.
and the various substances resorted to on occasions like the
above; it does not merely disguise the odour, it chemically de-
composes and destroys it. It is perfectly innoxious, and not ex-
pensive, unless purchased in small quantities, usually sold
small tin boxes; it should be obtained froud the manufacturer, by
the pound
TO CLEAR A HOUSE OF COCK-ROACHES.
Into a common bowl put a gill or two of water made sweet with
molasses. Bet this at night in a piacented by these insects
and place splinters of wood leading from the floor or hearth to the
edge of the bowl to serve as roads to ruin for the cock-roaches,
and they will, in a few nights drown themselves all off to a bug,
and become as scarce as mosquitoes in January, or snow drifts in
dog days. It is said, likewise, that a little spirits of turpentine,
applied with a feather to shelves or furniture where they resort,
will cause them to leave the room.
PRESERVING SMOKED MEAT, &c.
(Extract of a letter from the late THOMAS GOD, Esq. formerly
President of the Berkshire Agricultural Society, to the Editor of
the New England Farmer.)
You have published in your valuable" New England Parmer,"
several methods for preserving smoked meats. Much experience
has enabled me to offer you a prescription on the subject that
never has, and never will fail of answering the purpose, viz.
preserving those meats safe from the ravages of all small ani-
mals, and pure and sound for any length of time, and in any cli-
mate. It is the use of CHARCOAL. My mode of putting down
any kind of smoked meats is thus: Take a tierce or box and
cover the bottom with charcoal, reduced to small pieces, but not
to dust; cover the legs or pieces of meat with stout brown paper,
sewed around so as to exclude all dust; lay them down in the
coal in compact order, then cover the layer with coal, and so on
till your business is done, and cover the top with a good thickness
of coal.

34
The use of charcoal properly prepared in boxes, is of great
benefit in preserving fresh provisions, butter and fruits, in warm
weather; also in recovering meats of any kind, when partially
damaged, by covering the same a few hours in the coal. Let
thoose whose situation requires it, make the experiment on any
artice of food subject to decay, and they will more than realize
their expectations.
TO PROTECT YOUNG PLANTS FROM WORMS.
The powder or dust of tobacco thrown over the beds, in a gar
den where the plants are just coming up, will save them froni
the worms, which frequently destroy them before they have fairly
broken through the ground.
CHEAP ENGINE FOR RAISING WATER.
B

C
A small fali of at least three or four feet must be obtained by
a dam, or otherwise. The stream brought by a wooden trough or
other proper conveyance, should be so directed as to run into the
bucket, (B) when the bucket is elevated; but so soon as it begins
to descend, the stream flows over it, and goes to supply the wood-
en trough or well in which the foot of the forcing pump (C) stands
(D) is an iron cylinder attached to the pump-rod, which passes
through it. The cylinder is filled with lead or heavy materials;
and furnishes the power which works the pump. At (E) is fixed
a cord, which, when the bucket comes within four or five inches
rofits lowest projection, becomes stretched, and opens a valve in
the bottom of it through which the water empties itself. The
weight then at the other end of the lever raises the vessel (B) to
a proper position near (A) to be again filled with water.

35
ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF GATES.
The most common fault in the construction of gates is the fix-
ing of the brace to run from the top of the hind piece of the gate
sloping towards the fore end. Such gates always sag, and their
fore ends scrape the ground. Reverse the position of the brace,
and then if the gate be well made of seasoned stuff, it will never
sag. the following is a sketch of such a gate:-
B
The har-tree three and a half inches thick and four and a half
or five inches wide-the brace two nd a half inches wide and two
inches thick-the upper bar seven inches wide the gate may be
hung with hinges, or hooks and eyes, or with one hook-and-eye
at top, and a gudgeon at the bottom of the har-tree, to turn in a
hole, drilled in a head-stone, to be set close to the foot of the
gate post. In the latter case the lower end of the bar-tree should
be rounded and receive a ring or narrow baud to prevent its split-
ing. The brace, besides the rivets, (one through each bar) should
further be fastened to the bars by nails from the other side. The
brace, with its rivets and shoulders, renders it impossible for the
upper bars to sag; and the two perpendicular pieces of board AB
being riveted and nailed to the lower bars, effectually support
them. Full inch boards, even of white pine, will be strong
Enough for the bars; although hard wood or spruce would be pre-
ferable. If made of oak, inch boards would be amply sufficient.
The brace and har-tree should be of white oak or hard pine.-
TIMOTHY PICKERING.
ELDER.
The expressed juice of elder leaves, will kill skippers in cheese,
bacon, &c. and strong decoctions of the leaves on roots, are fatal
to insects which depredate on plants in gardens, &c. Dr. Willich
observes, that the leaves of elder are eaten by sheep to which
they are of great service, when deseased with the rot; for if plac-
ed in a situation where they can easily reach the bark and young
shoots, they will speedily cure themselves." Dr. Jared Elliot
observed in his Essays on Field Husbandry, that "elder bushes
are stubborn and hard to subdue, yet I know by experience that
mowing them five times a year will kill them."

35
MEARS' SPRING FASTENING FOR HORSES
The above represents an useful implement invented by Mr.
JORN MEARS, of Dorchester, Mass. It consists of an iron plate,
with a stub of suitable size to hold a ring at one end, to which the
halter fastening a horse may be attached. The other end of the
plate is bent into a suitable shape for a spring to prevent the es-
cape of the ring in any other direction than by a downward pres-
sure. If the horse gets his feet tangled in his halter, or takes any
position, by which a downward pressure takes place, the spring
gives way, the ring escapes, and the horse is liberated, without
having a chance to hang himself, as be sometimes does in other
modes of fastening him,
MACHINE FOR CUTTING GRAIN.
Extract from a communication for the New England Farmer, by
P. WILLIAMS, Esa. of Fitchburgh, Mass.
Mr. Fessenden: I saw in a late N. E. Farmer the method the
English sometimes use to cut their wheat. Having for several
years past either cradled or mowed my wheat, the method above-
mentioned appeared to me so reasonable, at the same time so sim-
ple, that with one hour's work I was enabled to bring it into oper-
ation, much to my profit and satisfaction. I found, on trial, that
one of the bows could be dispensed with, by adding a preventer
brace, or regulator, thus-
br.
BOW
The English, it would seem, have the standing grain on their
left. On trial I found it had better stand on the right, the same
as grass, with a boy to follow to place the grain which the scythe
leaves, at an angle of forty-five degrees to the direction of the
mower The bow may stand at the right angle with the scythe,
and regulated by the brace according as the grain stands, or leans
itslength, according to the length of straw to be cut-mine is
about twenty inches from the heel of the scythe. Three small
holes, the size to receive a rake bow, is all that is needed in the
snead made use for grass, as the bow and brace can be taken out,
in a moment. The acre of wheat cut by me the present season
was strawed sufficiently large, for forty bushels. I was little more
than seven hours cutting the acre. Four men with sickles would
probably have been a longer time, with a further loss of twice the
heads or ears where the grain was lodged.

37
CANKER WORM.
This pernicious and disgusting insect has renewed its ravages,
which were suspended from 1816 to 1326, owing, as is supposed,
to severe and late frosts in the spring of 1816, which destroyed
most of the generation then in existence. The late Professor
Peck has given an able article on the natural history of this rep-
tile, for which he received a premium of fifty dollars from the.
Massachusetts Agricultural Society. This, paper was originally
published in the Massachusetts Agr. Rep. and republished in the
New Eng. Farmer, vol. v. p. 393. We have not room for the ar-
ticle at length, but will give such facts derived from that and
other sources, as may enable the cultivator to guard against the
depredations of the insect,
Canker worms, ir the last or perfect stage of their growth, ap-
pear late in the fall. as well as early in the spring. They are
then found in a double form, the males with wings, the females
without wings. The females ascend the tree by its trunk, and
deposit their eggs in the branches. The males, by their wings,
resort to them, and in thirteen days after their union, the females
lodge their eggs in the crannies of the bark, in the forks of small
branches; and where there are spots of moss on the smaller limbs,
On the twenty first day the larva or caterpillar breaks from its
shell, and commences feeding. On the twenty sixth day from
their quitting the egg they begin to cease feeding, descend by the
trunk of the tree, and enter the ground, most of them within a
circle of four teet from the trunk of the tree. But some few will
he found at a greater distance.
The only remedy against the ravages of the canker-worm,
whose efficacy has been established is tarring the trees. This may
be performed as follows: Put a strip of linen or canyas 6 or 8 in-
ches wide, [some say strong brown paper, will answer] round the
body of the tree, and smear it well with tar, put on with a brush,
It is said to be a good practice to mix a quantity of fish-oil or
soap grease, no matter how rancid, with the tar, which prevents
its hardening so soon as it would without the mixture. This strip
should be drawn close and made fast around each tree by a small
string above, and a farger one at the lower edge, made of swing-
ling tow or hemp. Between these, strings the mixture of tar and
oil or grease is applied with a painter's brush. The larger string
will stop the descent of the more liquid parts of the tar, which
will remain a long time soft on account of the accumulation
caused by the strings.
P.
Various other methods of applying tar have been recommended,
which are recapitulated or alluded to in the N. E. Farmer, vol,
vi. p. 310, vol. vii. p. 41; Fessenden's New American Gardener,
. 170, Thacher's Orchardist, p. 90. The tarring process, to
complete the desired effect, should be commenced immediately
after the first considerable frosts, which happen in the fall, or
frequently as early as the 20th of October. The insects never

ground. The tarring must be continued in mild weather, till the
time of the ascent of the insects is past, or as long as any are
caught by or leave their traces on the tar, commonly about the
latter end of May. The best time of applying it, is about sun
set, because the worms pass up in the evening, and the tar will
not harden so much in the night as by day.
Many other remedies against the canker worm have been pro-
posed, but we believe further trials are necessary to place their
efficacy beyond dispute. Those proposed by Professor Peck,
were first turning up the ground carefully in October, as far as
the branches of a tree extend, to half a spade's depth, or five
inches so as completely to invert the surface: A great number
of cocoons or chrysalids would thus be destroyed by frost and
air. Secondly, breaking the clods and smoothing the surface by
a rake, and passing a heavy roller over it, so as to render it very
hard, and without cracks In grass grounds the sod should be
turned with the grass side down, and placed side by side, so as
to be rolled The winter's frosts would heave and crack a
smooth surface, but it might be smoothed and hardened by the
roller, or by other means in March, with much less trouble, time
and expense, than tarring requires. As lime, when slacked is
reduced to an impalpable powder, and is thus well adapted to
close the openings in the surface to which it may be washed by
rains. Mr. P. is inclined to think its good effects are produced
this way as well as by its caustick quality.
Strewing air-slacked lime round the trees has likewise been
suggested by way of experiment, by John Lowell, Esq. (Mass.
Agr. Repos vol. iii. No. 4. and N. E. Farmer, vel. vi. p. 2.) and
others. Dr. Jeremiah Spofford, of Bradford, Mass. proposed to
spread mercurial ointment on strips of woolen cloth made fast
round the tree (N. E. Farmer, vol. iv. p. 377.) John Kenrick, Esq.
of Newton, Mass. proposed between the time in June, after the
worms had disappeared and the 20th of October to take the
whole of the soil surrounding the trees, to the extent of at least
four feet from the trunk, and of a suitable depth, and cart it
away to a distance from any trees, which the canker worms are
in the habit of feeding on; and returning an equal quantity of
compost of rich earth, intermixed with manure. A writer for
the N. E. Farmer, vol. iii. p. 327, states a case of an orchard
having been preserved from canker worms by means, as was sup-
posed of locust trees, growing interspersed with apple trees.
Mr. Roland Howard, of Easton, Mass. observes that "A quan-
tity of lime was collected from the sweepings of a lime store, and
spread on the ground around a certain apple tree, some time in
the month of November; (the foliage of which tree had been
destroyed by the canker-worm the preceding summer) the
ground being in a pulverized state; the lime was spread as far
from the trunk as the drippings from the branches extended; the
effect was stated to be the entire disappearance of the worm
and an increased vigour of the tree." New England Farmer.
vol. iv. p. 393. Pasturing an orchard with swine was recom
mended by Dr. Deane, to preserve against canker worms, as

well as the curculio or worm found in fruit. Likewise strewing
the ground about the trees with flax rubbish and sea weed. See
Thacher's Orchardist, ps. 61, 62, 98.
Directions for the gathering and preserving herbs for medicinal
and culinary purposes.
Herbs are, generally, in their greatest perfection when the
foliage is fully expanded and they begin to flower.
At this time,
in a fair, dry day, they should be collected and carefully dried in
the shade. When perfectly dry they should be pressed into the
shape of a common brick by means of a curb for that purpose.
They should be, immediately after taken from the press, paper-
ed, labelled and put into a box, and kdpt in a dry place for use.
The common practice is--The good woman of the house col-
lects such a number of herbs as she thinks may be necessary and
useful for her family, without much reference to the state of the
plants nor the season of the year-When collected they are tied
with a string and hung up, or laid on a shelf in the garret, there
to remain with other combustibles, in the air, until wanted.
In the dead of the night, perhaps, an herb is wanted-a periop
is sent with a light to bring it in a hurry, and after tumbling over
and over, a number of different kinds, it is at length found, hav-
ing been exposed so long to the action of the air, as to have lost
its flavour. If in this manner, turning over in a hurry, a heap of
dry combustible matters with one hand, and holding the light
carelessly with the other, the house is not set on fire, it is a lucky
circumstance. A hint to the wise is sufficient.
HINTS WITH REGARD TO FATTENING SWINE.
If your object is merely profit in fattening your hogs, you must
take time for the process, and make them thoroughly fat. A
farmer, stating the result of some experiments in the Bath Socie-
ty papers, vol. vi. p. 382 says "I invariably found that quantities
of food consumed by fatting hogs increased every week till the
animals became three parts fat, after this period they ate but
little; and almost all they ate turned to fat: and that can only
be done by giving time.",
The experienced farmer need not be told that fatting hogs
should have now and then a dose of brimstone or antimony given
with their food, in order to preserve their health and increase
their appetite. But there may be some, who never knew, or
have forgotten that rotten wood, thrown to them occasionally
will be eagerly devoured, and serve as an absorber of those acid
juices, which, might, otherwise occasion a disorder. It is like-
wise said that to throw them now and then a few pieces of char-
coal will answer the same purpose.
LUCERNE.
This is one of our earliest grasses. It should be sown, on
a rich, deep, clean and light soil, free from weeds, about the
first of May, or as soon as the ground has acquired warmth
sufficient to give it a vigorous growth. It will not answer for
clayey or wet grornds. It should be sown with oats, barley or
rye, to protect the roots till they get hold of the soil.
It is ex

40
tensively cultivated in France and in New York and Pennsylva
nia, on account of its great productiveness,-three and four crops
being generally cut every season. Judge BUEL of Albany, an
eminent and intelligent farmer, says "one acre will feed six cows
five months, from 25th of May to 25th of October," fed out green.
Lucerne, from its long roots, is but little affected by droughts or
frosts, and but few grasses abide longer in the soil. It does not
attain its full growth till the third year and its medium duration,
s from ten to twelve years. Several fine fields of it can be
seen in the vicinity of Boston, particularly at Mr. Lowell's in
Roxbury.
ORCHARD GRASS
This is also an early and valuable grass. It is extensively
cultivated in England by the name of Cocksfoot Grass, for sheep
pasture: and in the fine pastures of Devonshire, celebrated for
fattening the largest quantity of stock, it constitutes the principal
herbage. Its roots are long and fibrous, and to enable it to
abide in the soil, and flourish, it requires to be sown where the
soil is porons and not stagnant. It answers in shady lands,
as in orchards, better than most grasses, whence its common
name. The seed necessary for an acre is two bushels, which
should be soaked forty-eight hours before sowing, and then used
with about ten pounds of red clover. See several articles by J.
LOWELL, Judge BUEL, Mr. PRINCE, and others in the N. E.
Farmer.
SWEET POTATOS.
It is not generally known that this delicious vegetable can be
raised to considerable advantage in New England. The sprouts or
slips as they are called, should be started in a hot bed-then
transplanted into a soft, warm, and somewhat sandy soil, in rows
four feet apart, then plant one foot apart in the rows. They
should he placed on the top of the ground, and the hills made by
hoeing the earth up and over them. If the ground is too rich,
they will not have the peculiarly fine flavour of those brought from
Carolina. They are very productive. The slips from which
they are raised are always kept for sale at J. B. Russell's Seed
Store, No. 52 North Market Street, Boston.
MILLET.
This is now extensively cultivated in Europe, and is getting
into general use in this country. It is a round, yellowish white
grain, which grows at the top of the stalk. A warm, rich,
though somewhat sandy soil suits it best. It should be sown
about the first of May, when cultivated for seed;-but for fodder
(for which it is considered by many equal to the best English
hay) it will answer to sow it from May to the 20th of June. The
quantity of seed for an acre, is from two to three pecks. It has
produced on the farms of Col. PoWEL of Pennsylvania and Mr.
COLMAN of Salem, three tons to the acre. It comes to maturity
for fadder in about tight and nine weeks, on, which account it is
an important article, when there is an appearance, in the early
part of summer, of there being a scarcity of hay.

SEED ESTABLISHMENT.
THE proprietor of this work takes the liberty to inform his friends
and the public, that he has established a Warehouse for every kind
of Seeds, suitable for cultivation in the United States, the British
Provinces, or the West India Islands; comprising an extensive varie-
ty of
grass seeds, the most common as well as the, rarer sorts; seeds
of native American forest trees, shrubs, and flowers; kitehen garden
vegetables; medicinal, pot, and aromatic herbs; fruits, esculent roots,
ornamental flowers, &c.; all of which are disposed of at wholesale and
retail, at fair prices.
The greatest care has been taken at this Establishment to have such
seeds only as can have the utmost reliance placed on their purity and
freshness. They are not collected promiscuously, but are raised ex-
pressly for the proprietor by gentlemen of skill and responsible char-
acter. Some few varieties of seed, which cannot be raised to advan-
tage in this country, are from the first Establishments in Europe, on
whose veracity and faithfulness full confidence can be placed.
Connected with the Seed Trade, we have a large assortment of the
most approved Books on Agriculture, Horticulture, Gardening and
Botany; and can supply Agricultural Libraries and others with books,
not usually found elsewhere, on favourable terms.
The smallest order from the country for seeds, plants, books, &c.;
will meet prompt attention. Orders for seeds, &c. should be address-
ed to" J. B. Russell, Proprietor of the New England Farmer Seed
Store, No. 52, North Market Street, Boston.".
The following comprises a list of the principal seeds:

We import from Scotland, every spring, an extensive collection of Scotch gooseber
ry bushes, with names; also strawberry plants, thorn quicks, asparagus roots; and
keep on hand every variety of seed or roots, that is wanted on a farm or garden.
As the variety and quantity of seeds kept at this Establishment are by far greater
than at any other place in New England, orders for the British Provinces, the West
India market, or the Southern States, can always be executed with promptness, at sat
isfactory prices. Dealers in seeds, and country traders, supplied, at wholesale or
retail on the best terms. The seeds are packed in boxes for the country trade, in
small packages, neatly 'sealed, with the prices marked, and directions printed on
each packagy, for their culture.
