PRRFACE.
MANY alterations and additions have Been made in this, the gecond numbc,. of '" The Athenreum Almanac," which;' it is hoped, will be considered improvements. It was part of the original design to vary the contents of the Al mannc fi'om yenr to year,. and at the same time retain such part~ as were of pert1)anent import~nce ;. in this way it was' believed that the' interest of the work would be' kept up, while the hack numbers would stilI be of considerwble value.
Though the Astronomical portion is chiefly designed. for lJlopular Uli'e, every cape has been taken to' ensure the accuracy of the information.),¥hich it contains, in order that,. in the absence of the Nautica} Almanac, it may he of some service, to the Astronomer and Navigator • . All thEl calculations have been aclapled to "Mean Time," or that which is ShOWI"" by a well-regulated clock. This differs from" Apparent Time," or that indicated, by a sun-dial, by what is called the "Equation of Time."
The Equatiun of Time and the Surr's decliimtion aregil'en for Greenwich, menn
noon. The times oftheRising and Setting of the SUl~anclMoon have been computed [.')1'
Saint John, in latitude 45° 16' N~" but for ordinary purposes they may be consider-· e,l applicable to the whole Province. .
It is hoped that the Provincial Chronology will be favoul'ltbly receivtJd, as gleanings 11'om a more extended- series of N<lteson.Colonial History, whIch may hereafier appear,.alTanged in chronological order, and fUll distinct form. 'I'hejJresent schenle will tend to familiarize the pnblic'with the dates of many events which are of local importance, and might with advantage be much more generally adopted in Alman~cs.
In order to meet the present circumstances of the Farming population in tbis Province, an article on Agricultural Chemistry has been prepared, upon the foundation of Professor Johnston's" Catecl;ism of Agricnltural Chemistry and Geology," a little work which is, perhap~, bettcr calcnlatBd to extend the first principles of scientific agrieulture among farmers, than any other yet written. Although parts of this little Catechism have been re-published here, it ~as thought that if a short paraphrase of the,whole work, in a continuous furm, appeared·irr.this Almanac, it might give a better view of the scope and importance of AgriculturaL Chemistry than anything· else which coulil be devised.
The article on Criminal Law is-likewise out an abridgement of an abridgement.The members of the legal profession are awareonhe extreme value of the Act'passed last Session of Assembly to consolidate the various Criminal Laws of the Province,. but it was thought by presenting a summary of its contents on a plan somewhat different from that ofthe·Act itself, that a sort of-Tariff of Crime might be formed,. wilich, while it famil1arized the pllblic WIth the penalties attaching to the various, kinds oferiminal offenc'es, might, perhaps,. tend to advance the cause of'morality itself.
'I'he Compilers neither expect nOT seek for profit or remuneration;· but it is obvious that the Publishers cannot continue to give'so much matter for so small a price, un~· less the sale shoukl be considerably more extensive than heretofore.

ECLIPSES OF THE SUN.
In the year 1850, there ·will be 'Only two .Eclipses; both of the Sun. 1. An Annular Eclipse of the Snn, February 11, 1850, invis,ible in New-Brunswick;
'1'he central line of this Eclipse passes over the Earth, from West to East, beginning: in Southem Africa, in Lat. 100 21' S., and Long. 22° 53' E., traversing the Indian Ocean, and East .Indian I"lamds, and ending in the North 'Paeific"in 'Lat. 15° 49' N., and Long. 143° 6' E. The Northern limit, or the line traversed by the Northern edge of the Moon's Penumbra, begins in Lat. 24° 30' N.,and Long. 25° 29' E., passes over the Southern part of Arabia and the Chinese Empire, and ends in Lat. 500 3' N., .and Long. 1360 28' E. The Sonthern line of simple contact begins in Lat. 46" ~6' S., and Long. 7° 43' E., 'passes over the,SouthernOcean. and Australia, and ends in Lat. 17° 49' S., and Long. 155'° 50' E.
n. A total Eclipse of the Sun, August 7, 1850, invisible in New-Brunswick. 'rhe centre of the shadow in trnsEclipse passes over the Ea-I'th,from West to East, beginning in Lat. lZO 17' N., and Lang. 150° 5' E., traver£\ing the 'Pacific Ocean, and ending olf~he Western coast of Sonth America, in Lat. 9° 42' S., and .Long. 800 l!S' West. The Northern line of simple contact beginsinLat 43° 8' N., and Long. 133° 30' E., passes over the North Pacific and South.lWestern parts of the United States, and eRds in the Atlantic, in Lat. 4lo 20' N., and Long. 66° 36'\V. The Southern line begins in Lat. 18° 38' S" and Long. 156° 46'E .• passes over the South Pacific, and ends in Lat. 40° 13' S., and Long. 8sa 17' W.

'line, and the Star, are' brought into tbe same Tange. Then, if the Star -depart from the plumb-line, move the compas! s!ght, east or west,. along the 'pla~l{, as ~he case mav be until the Star shall attam Its greatest elongatIOn, when It wIll contmue lJe
'hind th~ plumb-liue for severa.l minutes, and .will then recede from it in ~he direction . contrary to its motion before It becam.e statIOnary. L~t th~ co,?pass-slght be now fastened to the horizontal .plank. Dunng the observatum, I~ will be ~ece,;sary to have the plumb~line lighted: this may be done by an assIstant holdmg a candle near it.
Let, now, a,statf', with a can~le or lam;p upon it, be J:llac~d at ~ di~tance of thirty or forty yards from the plumb-hne,. an:l m the sa~e drrectlOn wlth.lt. and the compass-sight. The line thus determmed makes, wIth the true. merIdmn, an angle equal to the azimuth of the Pole Star. The mean value of thIS angle, for the present year, for the latitude of Ftedericton (which will serve roughly for the Provlllce generally) is 2" 9'.
The variation of the needle is readily determined from the line above obtained, even without tracing the true meridian on the ground. Place the compass upou this line, turn the sights in the direction of it, a.nd note the angle sh~wn by the needle. Now, if the observation were made at the time of western elongatlOn, and the noodle pointed to the west side of the line, the angle shown by the needle, plus the azimuth (20 9'), is the true variation west. But, if the observation were made at the time of eastern elongation, while the needle still pointed to the west, then the angle shown by the needle, minus the azimuth, gives the variation west. When the elongation is easi, and the needle also points to the ea~t, the sum of the angles is the true variation east; but if the elongation is west, while the needle still points to the eastward of the line, the difference of the angles is the true variation, east or weet, according as the angle shown by 'the needle is greater or less than the azimuth (20 9'). .
It has been found by observation, that heat and cold sensibly affect the magnetic needle, and that the same needle will, at the same place, indicate different lines at different hours of the day. If the magnetic merilian be observed early in the mOrD
·iug, and then successively at other times of the day, it will be found tl,at the needle will continue to recede from the meridian as the day advances, until about the time of the highest temperature, when it will begin to return, and at evening will make the same line as in the morning. This chauge is called the diurnal va1'iution, and varies, during the summer season, from one-fourth to one-fifth of a degree.
ON THE RECENTLY-DISCOVERED PLANET'S.
Till the discovery of Uranus, by Sir William Herschel, in the year 1713'1, six . Planets only were known; viz., Mercury, Venns, the Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Kepler, from the comparatively great interval between the orbits of Mar!; and Jupiter, h'.ld suspected the existence qf an intermediate Planet; and the discovery of Uranus, occupying an oroit in accordance with the sllpposed analogy among t.he distanees from the Sun, tended to impress the idea more strongly upon Astronomers. In th.e. ys.ar IS00, ~aro? Zacb formed an Association of twenty-four observers, who ·dlvlded the Zochac mto as many zones; and each observer en<Taged to examine one part, for the express purpose of finding this C\mjectural Plan~t. On January 1, IS01, Piazzi, the Director of the Observatory at Palermo, discovered in the constellation Taurus, a Planet, which he named Ceres; and on the 28th of March. 1802, Dr. Olbers, of Bremen, fo·nnd another Planet in Virgo, which he called Pallas. l'l~th of these were found to revo.lve in orbits situated between Mars and Jupiter, but hemg very small, they were conjectured to be fragments of a broken Planet whieh had formerly circulated at the same distance from the Sun, and bad been shattered by some internal convulsion. On tbis hypothesis, it was thought that there were other parts undiscovered, and the search was rigorously continued. On the 1st of September, 1804, l\i. Harding, at the Observatory of Lilienthal, near Bremen, discoQ-
7
vel'ell Juno; and on the ;l9ih of March, ISd7, Dr. Olbers, succeeded in fin(fing Ves~a:. 'rhe two last mentioned were ascertained to moVe at about 'the same distance from the Suu as the preceding. Thus, within six years,fourPlanets were discovered, and althl'JUgh the search was, rigor~usJy kept up tilll816,no 'o~her Plalletary body was
'detected. But on theSth of December, 1845, M. Hencke, of. Driessen, saw a star occupying a position where, he felt assured, lio star previously existed. Thilil object proved to be a Plauet, which was ninned Astrea, aud 'Was' [.mnd to. be one of the remarkable groups situated between Mars and Jupiter. The perturbu.tions of Uranus h[l ving excited; the attention of Astronomers, t'heir effuse was diligently iIivestiaated hy Adams and Levenier, and each of these eminent mathematitians came t~ the conclusion, that they were owing to the disturbing force of an exterior Planet. On the 23d of September, 1846, Dr. Galle, of Berlin, d·irected by s!lch theoretical investigations, discovered the Planet Neptune in the very spot where he. was desired to search for it, and thus confirmed ,in the most strikIng manner, the theory of universal gravitatioll. On July 1st, 1847, M. Hencke -discGvered Hebe, and on Augu~t 13th, 1847, Mr. Hind, at Mr. Bishop'S Observat-ory;, disoovered ITis. On the 18th of October, elf the same year, Mr. Hind detected Flora, and on the 25th of April, 1848, Mr. Gniham, at Mr. Cooper's Observatory, discovered Metis. On the 12th of April, 184[), a tenth Planet, named Diana, was added by Signor de Gaspari, a't Naples, to the interesting 'group betweeH MaTS and Jupiter.'l'he dimensions of al~ these Planets ate so small as not .to be diiftinguishable by the naked eye; and the moat powerful telescopes have hitherto failed to meaSllre their apparent diameter with even tolerable accuracy. M. Encke, speaking of the manner in which the prelienee of the new Planets has become known to us; says, "that the perfection of optieal instruments led to the discovery of Uranus-precision of observation to that of Ceres-a remarkable acquaintance with' the position of the heavenly bedies to that .of Pallas-the [Hlrfection of· the stellar maps of Harding to' that of Juno-a bold but ingenious hypothesis, leading to the closee examination of a particular part of the sky, to that of Vesta-and the remarkable perfection of the Astronomical Maps of' the Ac"demy of Berlin mainly contributed to the discIDvery of ASkea." Diligent search, combined with an intimate acquaintance with the Heavens, has enabled Astronomers to detect the additional Asteroids. M. Hendee, however, regards the discovery of the Planet Neptune, in the exact spot p:redicted by thleGry and calculation, as displaying one of the most remarkable combinations of sound theory and mreful obsel'vation that Astronomical science has ever presented. The:le 'several discoveries of Telescopic Planets lead us to suspect the existence of many such bodies yet unknown to us ; and there seems good reason to believe, that in a few yeal's we shall have a large addition to the Solar system .

INFLUENCE OF THE MOON.
Tliat the Moon aff~cts the Tides, and, in like manner, acts upon the Atmosphere, all Qught to know; but if any think it exerts a controlling influence over the weather, -or the growth of vegetation; it is well to remind them of the results to which the late Dr. Olbers, the distinguished ,Astronomer of Germany, who discovered thle Planets 'Pallas and Vesta, was led by an examination founded on cariful meteorological observations jar fifty years, in different countries. "I believe," he says, "that I ha ve demonstrated that the influence of the Moon. upon the weather is so small that iit is tota.lly last amid the great variety of other forces and causes which chang@ the state of our atmosphere, and that its pretendecl inflnence .on mJln, animals, or plants.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.
The first ahd most important thing for the farmer in this month is to ~.ttend to hig horses, cattle and swine. Let them be housed at night and in stormy weather. Sec that the stables are cleaned', the yards dry alild well littered, the sheds warm and yet well ventilated, If hay is'scarce, and labor is cheaper than fodder, it nlay be cut and
, mixed with chopped straw, com-stalks, meal, bran, grain Of, roots j take care, at alI events, that no fodder is wasted. Cut up a few potatoes or turnips for sheep, and mix a little salt with them. If there be sufficient snow, haul home wood for fuel and fences. Logs may' be taken to the mill and made into boards for future use.. Repair all toOl5, vehicles amI ifllplements, when obliged to stay in-doors. Thresh grain, clean seed,;, and take farm produce to market. Take oats to mill. Take every opportunity of chopping and preparing new land fOl a crop. 'fhis is also a good time for breaking steers and colts.

During t.his month the constellation Tauras is a conspicuous object in the Heavens. It contains 141 visible stars, including two remarkable clusters called the Pleiades and Hyades. The brightest star in the former of these well-known groups is Alcyone, which of late years has excited more than ordinary interest, on account of the researehes of lVIaedler into the proper motiolls of the stars of our firmament, leading him to decide upon it as the centre round which all the oth~rs revolved. Aldebaran shines conspicuous among the Hyades, and belongs to the class of double stars. On the first of the month, he crosses the meridian at 9h. 42m. P.'l\'L, at an altitu(le of 62°.

Continue the hauling of fuel and f8ncing-stuff; cut up as much of the former as possible, and pile it away under cover for summe.r use: tbis seems novel, but the farmer will under>tand, though the lumbe1'7llan may not. Fillish tbe threshing of grain, and stow it away beyond reach of mt, mouse or weevil. Let the 1'00ts be assorted, keeping the best for house use and for seed. Prepare for making maple sugar.

ASTRONOMY FOR THE MONTI-I.
11
Orion is a beautiful object in the Hen-vens during the evenings of this month. When on the meridian, there is then above the horizon the most magnificent view of the celestial bodies' that the starry firmament affords. . The constellation consists of seventyeight visible stars; of which two are of the first, loni' of the second, three of the third, and fifteen of the fourth magnitude. In the belt are-three easily-distinguished sturs, of the second magnitude, called in Job. the Bandsof Orion. These point on one side to the Hyades and Pleiades, and on the other to Sirius, or the Dog-star. South of the belt there is a row of stars of the fourth and fifth magnitudes, forming Orio!"s .swordscabbard, in the centre of which is the cel~brated "Fish-Nebula." Betelgue.se, tb" jil'ight star above the belt, crosses the meridian on the first of the month, at 9b. P. M., a tan altitude of 53°.

ASTRONOj\'IY FOR THE MONTH. The constellation Gemini contains 85 visible stars, inclnding one of the first (Castor),
one of the second (Pollux), four orthe third, and seven of the fourth magnitudes. Castor is the largest and finest double star in our hemisphere, and cro;ses the meridian on the 1st of the month, at 8h. 48m. P.M., at an altitude of 77°. It is, 11m. later, succeeded by Pollux, whiph is quadruple. Procyon, the principal star in Canis Minor, come. to the meridian 3m. earlier than Pollux, and is about 23° farther South. At about the same distance S. W. of Procyon, is Sirius, in Canis Major, which is double, and is the brightest of aJl the stars in the ·firmament. It is, however, so remote, that at its,distance the radius of the Earth's orbit (95,000,000 miles) would subtend an angle of less tha~ ~/r, a quantity almost inappreciable.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.
The f.lrm should he plotted, and each field assigned its crop for the year. Manure should be all got out while the hauling is good. The cattle should not be allowed' to wandel' on the road, fields or meadows, which does no good to themselves and much injury to the land. Let the drains be overhauled and cleared out. Continue the cutting, splitting and piling of W90d. Prune and remove dead limbs and branc/les of fruit-trees, bushes anu 8hmbs. Scrape·off moss from apple-trees, and cut off black kuobs on the plum-trees. All kinds of fruit and forest trees may uow be safely transplauted. Transplauting must always be done before the leaves are out or after they have f1lllen ; if a tree is covered with leaves when it is transplanted, the evaporation by their surface is so great that the vital moisture of the plant would be all dissipated before the roots had begun to absorh water from the soil. Break up the garden and sow the early ycge-. t[lbles. Commence ploughing in dry situations and on sad )and as soon as the frost wilt :tllow.

During the month~ Leo,.one of the most brilliant constellat.ions in. the winter hemi~phere, i3 fa.vorably situated for observation. It contains 95 visible' stars, of which two (Regulus and Dinebola), are of the first magnitnde, two of the sacond, six of the third, ~tnd fifteen oCthe iDnr.th,. On the lst, at an altitude of 58°, Regl}luS'cTosses the meridian, n-t 9h. 17m. P. M.,.and Ill. -11m.later, is 8uc;ceeded by Dinebola. Iloth stars are double, and nautical men make great use of the first mentioned for determining their longitude at sea by me3.ns of lunar .distances. Regulus has also been used by the best astron0ltlerS "f all nations for ascertaining the exact amount of the prec~ssion of the equinoxes. To the porth of Leo is the lesser Lion, which contains 53 stars, but of these the 1argest is one of the third magnitnde.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.
Set aboat ploughiag the land. Early spring ploughing is the' best for sad land, as the frost both pulverij':es it and kills the weeds. Sow gtas9 and plant the root crops. Steep and 'sow the grain crops. Corn may be sown after the grain crops and clover. 'fum out the ~heep and cattle, bat not before the land is toleral;>ly dry and the young grass has appeared. Cart out the remainder of the manure, and clear np the farm-yards. Mannre will waste as much in the heap in one season as in the ground, and for the first you get nothing, for the' other a great deal. Towards the close of the month the meadowlands may be top-dressed with compost, gypsum or other manure. Mark spots for future drainage. B1.ets, mangold-wurtzel and Swedes may he sown with advantage after the other ·crops. Peas, beans, onions, turnips, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, radishes and
,spinach may be sown in garden and fields. Cabbages, cucumbers, cauliflower, lettuce, radishes, tomatoes and peppers may be planted out. Hedges and shrubs may be trimmed.

Finish sowing and planting. 'I'he seed-end of potatoes, cut rather deep, will yield the best crop. Ruta-bugas, or Swedes, may be sown after the potatoes. Four or five lbs. of seed are not too much for an acre,-that will allow some for the insect, and! some for the land. Transplant so as to fill up spots' where the crops seem to fuil. lIoe,. or set the cultivator going among the corn and root crops. "Veed the garden, the grain and root crops, otherwise it will be fifty tiales more troublesome later in the season and next year. Weedy fields· may be ploughed' for summer fallow. Buckwfleal land
. ought to be prepared. The earlier the chopped land can lie well burnt the betlt'r. Prune, trim and transplant trees. After tran"planting, the soil should be ren<1ered merlow and rich by mucking in for a considera ble distance nround; choose Ii moist or rainy day for the operation. Remove or destroy insects, lice and caterpillars on frnittrees. Plant out cabbages. Transplant wild plants, bringing with them a portion of the natural soil.

ASTRONOMY FOR THE MONTH.
Bootes (The Bear Driver), one of the ~ld forty-eight constellations, is a prominent object- in the heavens during the evenings of this month; It contains fifty-four visible stars, including one of the first, seven of the third, and ten of the fourth magnitude: 'Arcturus, the'principalstar, is diluble, and -crosses the meridian on the 1st, at 9h. 23m. P. M., at all. altitnde'of 64°. It has been extensively usefulln modem astronomy, and is'remarkable as being the body by which the fine discovery was made that stars and planets may be advantageously observed during the sun's presence. Sanguine hopes of determining its parallax, and thereby ascertaining its distance, were atene'time entertained, but elf~ry exertion met'with disapp~intment.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTI-f.
Finish hoeing and weeding, aoo prepare for grain harvest. Wheat, oats and barley are generally cut in this month: the best ought to be set aside for seed, and allowed to ripen fully while standing. The grain intended for consumption should be cut while still soft, for not only is the flour better, but there is much les'il top and. waste in harvesting the crop. Lowland hay may be cut and made ~nto stach. If there i .. time, it is much better·, at once, to get the low meac+0w hay beyond the reach of the river rather than
oro wait till winter. Make draills. where required;, gather seeel and herbs; destroy weeds wherever they are to be seen ; rem~ve balls fmm potato vines, if thought necessary. I"all wheat may he sowed.. If grain harvest be fini"hed, fall ploughing f~r next season may 'be begun. A gooo farmer will be ploughing all summer long. Don't burn .100
soon, or the trouble will be greatly increased. Great care should always be taken to extinguish fires on new land; besides the real danger to all panre;:;, the penalty, on COll
viction for not doing so, is £3.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.
Carry on the harvesting of grain, corn, and root crops. Neglect not fall ploughing for a single day. Draining ought to be gone on with: let the drains be from 30 to 36 mches in depth, and placed about 20 feet apart. Grain may now be field thrashed. Do not take up po.tatoes until the vines have been killed by the frost, and are perfectly dry j keep them from sun aud wet, and allow them to dry before housing ; let them be stored away in barrels or binns well protected from air. Early apples may be gathered by hand, wiped, and put away into binns or barrels, taking care not to bruise them: they should be kept jn a dry, cool celldr, or upper room, where the temperature is not below the freezing point: should they, by any means, get frozen, they should be kept covered so as to let them thaw gradually. Trees may be budded in this month. N. E. farmers generally sow grass seeds (not clover) as early as possible after the summer crop. This is, likewise, a good time for the cow to go to the bull. Rams, again, should be removed from the sheep until the end of N9vember or December

ASTRONOMY FOR THE MONTH. Vega, the principal star in the constellation Lyra, crosse& the meridian on the.first of
this month, at 7h. 49m. P.M., at an altitude of 83°. It is a vf!,ry brilliant and insulated star of the first magnitude, "blazi~g with imperial lustre," and therefor .. stands in the same rank with Sirius, Canopus, and Capella. Yet by the experiments of,Dr. Wollas-
ton, it appears that the light it affords is not more than 18000/000 oooth part of that of , , , the Sun, or about one-ninth part of tbat of Sirius. Efforts have long been made to ascertain its parallax, and Struve, who has furnished us with the most recent and accurate results, makes it only the eighth of a second, thus placing this beautiful star at a distance from us equal to one and a half million times our distance from the Sun. Th~ same distinguished Astronomer 'supposes that stars of the twelfth magnitnde are not nearer than 60,800,000,000,000,000 miles:-but how vast is space! What is beyond?

Conriilue dmining, full ploughing, an4 securing eorn and root crops. 'Vhen potatoes are to be stored in the field, a dry, sandy spot should be chosen, on which they are to be laid in heaps, then pat a Inyer of straw over them j thatch them carefully, and cover the whole with earth: two small orifices should be left, the one at the top, and the other at the bottom j these should be closed with a wisp of stmw, and opened occasionally to permit the access of fresh air. If the soil of the field is a wet clay, a ditch ought t{) be dug round the spot where the roots a·re to be laid. Turnips may be either stored in 11 ·r.(')ot house, ~rill pits three feet in breadth, and covered with straw and earth as above.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.
Preparations must now be made for a long tlnd severe winter. The summer vehicles and implements should be dried, cleaned and stowed away. The fences should be put in order, so that none'of the field may be exposed to the poaching of cattle. sheep or hogs. The farmer should walk about daily with a bam mer and a pocket full of nails, patching and repairing the barns aud sheds'where they require it. The yard should be well bedded with turf, peat muck, straw, sawdust, weeds, or other vegetable matter8, at the same time they should be so constructed tha t the soluble parts of the manure, which are the best, shall not be lost. Fiuish diggiug and storing of roots and the faU ploughing. One good. ploughing of clay land in the fall, is worth two or three in the spring. Husk the corn: . make cyder: examine and make cuts for the drainage of surface water: underground drains are preferable to surface cuts. The children should be kept close at school, and the farmer should never forget that more attention is due from him toward the improvement of his children than to that of the land or stock.

The constellation Pegasul!, which is on the meridian during the evenjngs of this month, a' a mean altitude of 65°, contaiDs 89staFs visible to the naked eye, including three of the second, and three of the third magnitude. It is readily distinguished from all other constellatillns by means·offour remarkable stars, about 15° apart, forming what is ~alled the square of Pegasus. The two most western stars ofthi. square (Scheat and Markab. whose declinations are respectively 27° 13' N. and 14° 21' N.) cross the meridian at 8h. 15m: P. M., on the first of the month. Of the two Qn the east, the most 'nort~erly is Alpherat, which belongs to the cllnstella.tion Andromeda, and that to the south is called Algenib, which has the same declination as Markab, but comes to the meridian 1h. SW. later. 3~ south and 26m. in advance of Algenib is a fine globuJarcluster, which according to Sir William Herschel, is 243 times more remote than stars of the first magnitude.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH. Stocks now require increased attention: they should 'he stall fed for the winter if pos
sible, or put up in yard with a warm aspect, and with sheds attached, whereto they can resort in stormy seasons: they should he supplied with plenty of water and salt, and fed about three times every day, and curried regnlarly. The sow may he taken t6 the boar in the month, and the ram allowed to retnrn to the flock again. Let the farmer keep out of the woods, for farming is not a branch of lumbering, nor are active lumberers likely to make thrifty husbwndmen. Once for all, let the farmer forswear the woods. He may now thrash grain, and take his produce to market: the 'good wife onght to have her quota ready of cheese, butler, fowls, hams, sausages, mittens" socks, cloth, wool.and feathers; these are all as good as money in town. Let all accounts be settled and debts paid: Every farmer ought to keep a book wherein he records his operations, and notes the effect of different kind and quantities of manure, seed &c.: the returns under each. method ought to be recorded by measure and weight. The crops for each field ought to be arranged not only for the 'ensuing' sumIDer, but for several yeats in advance: let there always.be a systematic rotation of crops on the farm: let everyone take in and ,study an agricultural periodical, and strive to combine sdence with practice-practice with science.

ASTRONOMY FOR THE MONTH.
About 2000 years ago, the constellation Aries opened the Astronomical year as" ,Leader of the hea;~nly host," and retained the office for a similar period. ,The chargd i8 now resigned to Pisces, for Aries has passed more than 30° to the eastward of the point
where the eq~linoctial cuts the eCliptic. - This is owing to theP-recession of the equinoxes, ":hich amoupts to little over 50" per annum. a.fl rietis peqforms important seryice for n~uiic'al science. The skilful navigator can, by mElasuring the. di~tance betweeri Arietis and the MoC!n, determine at once not enly the spet he is in on the trackless ocean, but his·true course and distance to any kriownharbour on the earth. Eight other conspicuOilS stars, which lie near the Moon's path; are also much used for the same purpose, and
are heNce called nautical stars. They are JIldeba1'an, Pollux, Regulus; Spica Virginis, J1ntares, J1ltair, Fomalhaut, and Mal'kab·. Their true places for every day in'
the year, are given in the Nautical Almanac.

Isaac Woodward, Esq., Surveyor of those Light H~uses in the Buy of Fundy, belongin" to New-Brunswick, and ulso of those belongIng to Nova-Scotia, whJch are partly sti'pported by this Province.
Cape Sable Seal Isla?~d Light.-The first ~ig.ht on ?pproa.ching. the Bay of Fundy is on the South PO.Int of Seal Island. Tlus IS a pla~n WhJte LIght, elevated about eighty feet above hIgh water mark, and may be seen 111 approachmg the Island from any point of the Compass. A very dangerous Rock.' under .water, but upon which the sea alw~)ys hreaks, called BLONDE ROCK, hes 3! mIles S. by 'V. by compass, from the Light House. Between this Rock and the Island there are some dangers; the ground is rocky throughout, and large vessels, therefore, ought not to attempt passing between them.
Brier Island Light.-In advaucing up the Bay, the next Light is situated on Brier Island, about half a mile N. E. fr<lm the N. \V. point thereof.-A plain White Light.
Digby Gut Light.-The next Light on the coast of Nova-Scotia is placed on the West side of Digby Gut, from Brier Island North-Eastward. The coast is very bold and not in-lented; the Light is, therefore, chiefly intended as a guide into Digby Basin.-A White Light.
Gannet Rocle Light.-This Light is intended to warn vessels of their approach to a very dangerous range of shoals and ledges, ,which extend from the Old Proprietor to the Seal Islands off Machias, a distance of about twenty miles. It is a flash light -WHITE-twenty seconds dark and forty light in each minnte. The Light House is painted in stripes, vertiqal, black and white.
BEARINGS AND DISTANCES BY COMPASS FROM THE GANNET ROCK LIGHT HOUSE :-,
This Light b9ars from the Light House on Brier Island N. N. W. ~ W. 22 miles. From the Gannet Rock to the Old Proprietor, E. ;! S. distance 7 miles. From the Gannet Rock to the Bla<ek Rock off White Head Island, N. E. ~ E. 7 miles. From the GannetRock to the SouthWest Head of Grand Manan, N.N.W. 6,\ miles. From the Gannet Rock to the Northernmost of the Murr Ledges, N.W.§ N. 2'1miles. To 'the Southernmost of ditto, called St. Mary's Ledge, 'V. S. ,V. 2 miles. From the Gannet Rock to Machias SealIsland, W. and byN. ~ N. 121 miles ..
Between the Northernmost and Southernmost of the Murr Ledges, there is a range of dangerous rocks and shoals, many of them always above water, and which extend Westward from the Light-Honse about four miles; from this range, farther Westerly, about six miles from the Gaunet Light, lies a dangerous breaker, called the Bull. This may be avoided by keeping three remarkable headlands near the S. W. end of Grand Manan open.
From Brier Island Light to the Old Proprietor N. and by W. * W. 18~ miles. The Blonde Rock from the Southernmost point of Cape Sahle Seal Islands S. and
by W. 3~ miles distant.
J'[{~chias Seal Island Lights.-There are two fixed WHITE lights upon the MachIaS Seal Islands, elevated abou~ 45 feet above high water, and bearing from each other E. S. E. and W. N. "V. dIstant ahout 200 feet, by which circumstance 01 two Ilight Houses at the same station, they will be immediately distinguished from
35
fLll other lights upon the coast, British or American. Both the buildings are painted white. The following are the bearings, by Compass, from them, viz. :_
To the Southernmost Murr Ledge (St. Mary's) E. S. E. easterly. " Gannet Rock Light, E. by S. 1 S. 13 miles. .
Southern Head of Grand Manan, E. by N. ~ N. Northern Head of Grand Mannn, N. E. ~ E. North-East Rock, distant 2 miles, N. E. by N. Little River Head, N. by W. Libby Island Lighthouse (Atpericnn), N. W. by W.
Vessels standing to the Northward, between ,these Lights and the Gannet Rock, should tack or haul off the moment they bring these Lights into one, as they will be then not more than three-fourths of a mile from the Murr Ledges, if more than five miles to the E. of the. Lights.
[It is recommended that the Ship'S Compasses should be well compared and adjusted (particularly in new ships), before they leave Partridge Island, as serious errors'have fre1uently occurred from want of attention on this pGint : and, as the variation in the Bay of Fundy is seventeen degrees Westerly (or ]i! points), it will be found by the latest published Admiralty eharts, '" that the course from Partridge Island down the Bay, South Chaunel, between the Old Proprietor and N. W. Ledge, is S. W. ~ S., but the course to be steered must depend on the direction of the wind on leaving Partridge Island.]
\
.Head Harbour Light.-Next in order, after passing Grand Manan, and the plain white Light (American) on West Quoddy Point, is Head Harbour Light. This i. placed on the North-East extremity qf Campo Bello, and is a guide to vessels enter
.' ing the main channel to \Vest Isles, Moose bland, and the Inner Bay of Pa~samaquoddy; it enables vessels also, at ail times, 10 enter Head Harbour. It is a fixed white Light. 'l'he bnilding is painted white, with a red cross on it.
Point Le Preau LigAts.~Upon this projecting head-land two Lights are placed, one above the other in the same house, and distant twenty-eight feet. Both Lighls eall be ~een from every point of the Compass where they may be useful-both are "xed and white. '.rhe Light I·Iouse is painted red and white, in stripes five feet broad each, horizontally. \
Partridge Island Light.-This Light, at the entrance of the River and Harbour of Saint John, having !Jeen established above fifty years, requires ne particular nolice, further than that it is a fixed white Light, and the Light House is painted red <lnd white in vertical stripes. The Light was enlarged in Novemher, 1846.
Beacon Light.-Within Partridge Island, and upon a spit or bar which extends about half a mile S.S.E. off Sand Point, and which dries at two-thirds ebb, stands the Beacon 'l'oWell, Upon this Tower a Light is established, which is eminently useful to the coasting trade of Saint John, and to all oth"r vessels having pilots on board, as it enables them to enter the Harbour at all hours of the night. A fixed white Light. The House is painted white and black, in stripes vertically.
Quaco LigM.-A revolving white Light is placed on a small rock off Quaco Head, shewing twice full and twice dark in a minute. The Light can be seen from any quarter where a vessel can approach. The J.ight House is painted white and l'ed in horizontal stripes.
Cape 'Enrage Light.-Gn the Poiat of that name in Westmorland, nearly opposite Apple River Harbour, N. S. The House is about 120 feet above the tide mark, and is painted white-a plain white Light.
'The Char·ls can be procured at the COURIER OFFICE, Book Store, St. John, N.B ..

TIME FOR GOING THROUGH THE FALLS,
NEAR THE CITY OF SAINT JOHN.
The Falls are level, or it is still water at about three and a half hours on the flood, and about two and a half on the ebb, so that they are passable four times in twentyfour hours, about ten or fifteen minutes at each time. No other rule can he given, as much depends on the floods in the River St. John, and the time of high water or full sea, which is often hastened by high Sontherly winds. For a few days in the spring of the year, the height of water in the River Saint John renders- the paisage of the Falls extremely di.fficult.

OUTLINE OF THE ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF AGRICULTURAr~ CHEMISTRY.
'Agriculture is the art of cultivating the soil, so as to raise the largest crop at the' smaHest cost, aud with the least injury to the land j ey~l'y farmer ,. ~he~eror.e, ought especiall~ to. be acquaiuted w~th the ~ature or composition of croplIi sot/s, m.a?ures, &c. Che-mistry professes to asceutam. and. decla~e the e.Zem.entary com1!ol#!tlOn of all things, aDd .!1gricultural chemistry IS the special application o!Cherr~lstry to ~he J*lfsuits-ofthe Farmer. We propose,. in th~ course o.fthe following arlic!e, to gmt· the AO'riculturist an idea of the way m which Chemistry has been applIed to the' adva:cement of his art, how it has e.xplained th~ reasons for hi~ most successfu,J' practice, and' how a knowledge oli Its truths wdl always best direct to safe and' economical results.
I.. OF THE N ATUR>.E OF CRo;Fs.-CrOjlS and, all vegetable substances consist of two parts,,-one which burns away in the fi~e, called the Organic paTt,. and o~e' which does not burn away,called the Inorgamc part, or.ash. Of these .. the ?rgame' or combustible portion forms from 90 to 99 out o~ every 100 parts of ~helr weIght.
The or"anie part is composed of rour elementary substanee" whICh have been termed C~rbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen, with minute quantities of Sul-· phur and Phosph07"lhs. Of these, carbon, (Nhich is the most abondant) sulphur amI· phosphor.us are solids, while the othen three arQ colourless and invisible gases. Most plauts will yield the above six substances when properly treated, though several of their bulky constituents, such as starch, guin, sugar, fibre of wood and oily matter§' contaih only car·bon,. hydrogen and oXYgBn.
The ash, or inorganic part of plants, when analyzed, is found to contain eigbt or ten different substanc.es, namely, Poinsh, Soda, Lime, JIIagnesia, Oxide of Iron r
Oxide of Mar:ganese, Silica, Chlorine, Sulphuric acid,' or Oil of Vitriol, and' Phosphor:ic acid :. of these, phosphoric and sulphuric acid are liquids, chlorine is. a,.
yellow, corrosive gas, and all the others are solids. These are all to be found in the.Ish of our usually cultivated' plants, though the amount of ash dIffers in different plants, and the quantity of any. one of. these exists in different proportions in the ashes· of the different parts of the same plant: thus. 100 pounds of haX leave .:nine or ten J?ounds orash, while 100 pounds.of wheat leave less than two pounds. The ash .f" wheat. again,. contains more phosphoric acid than that of hay,.while. tfle ash of hay contaius more lime than that of, wheat.
These var~ous constituent elements of plants hav.e been derived partlyfr'om the air.' and partly from the soil. Plants, like animals, require constant supplies of food ia order that they may live and grow. This· food is, accordingly,. absorbed from the soil by the rootlets, and from the air by the lea "e8, of the plant.
The constituent" of the ash,or inorganic part,. are derived by the roots from the soil, while the organic food is derived par.tly from the air and partly from the soil.The charcoal, Or carbenaceous. portion of. the plant,.is derived chiefly from the air" where it exists in' small quartities as Carbonic'acid, a gas which would be poisonO?S if-not very ID?ch . ~iluted hy common air.. €ommou air consists of oxygen and mtrogen gases, mIXed In the proportion of. one t'O four parts, hy weight; but hesides these gases and, watery vapour,. there is alwllYs a little carbonic acid: in five th?l1sandgallons of air there is,in fact, seldom.more than two gallons or carbonic aCid gas. In order, therefor~, to absorb this useful substance in sofficient quantities from the atmosphere, the leave~,have been eontri¥ed; and these, by means of. their. great extent of surface, pierced with innumerable pores or openings, are enabled to suck in as ml1ch.a8i~ r<8q]1ir~df~r the sustenance of the plant. Every twenty-two' pounds of c,\rhomc .acld conlam SIX: pounds?f carbon and sixteen of oxygen ,and living plants,. un.d:r the mfluence· of ~h~ sun's·hght, have the p<lwerofdecomposing this gas-;-relalnmg .the ~arbon and glVlng' off the oxygen r,gain into the air by the leayes. Besides. carbomc aCId, the leaves' of plants also drink in watery vapor, which, being. a chemical comp(lund of oxygen a"d hydrogen.gases,.in the proRortion. of. 8 of the furmer to 1 of the latter, may serve to supply theBe essential constitu.ents~ Carbs/lic'
99,
aeid aml some other compeund's of carbon exist likewise in the, soil, and, enter the. plant freely by its numerous roots.
The nitrogen of plants enters chiefly under the forms of Ammonia and Nttric acid" both of which are found in small quantities in the soil and, are brouaht to the roots as liquids, ready for absorption. These, which are called the, ultimate "'elements, of plantr, are curiously combined and grouped together under eertain more familial' forms of which the most notable are Woody.fibre, Starch and Gluten. ~'oody fibre forms the e~ie~ part o.f the woody alld of the ~ough and ~brous part oli all plants. S,tarcb, agam, IS a white powdery substance whICh abounds m many roots, fmits and, seed~, and is readily removed from them:by washing ;~the greater part of a potato. consists of starch, and about half the weight of meal and flour consumed.for.food.Gluten is a tough adhesive substance which" though in smaller quantity., occurs, along with starch in almast all seeds. If a piece of dough be washed with water" the white starch will go off with the water, while the viscid gluten remains behind. Gum and Sugar, in certain prop,ortions, are also present, more or le~s, in the sap of all plauts, and, strange to say, all the above-mentioned substances, which are so dif_, ferenUa their form and qnalities, are found, on analysis, to consist o( carl;!on and the, e1ementsof water (oxygen and hydrogen) only.
Carbon.' Water. 361bg. and 3'6lb9. form 721bs. of Woody fibre .. 36" " 45 " " 81 "of Dry. Starch oJ" Gum., 36 4Ilk 85k " of .Loaf Sugar or Sugar Candy.., 36 " 64'" 100" of Raisin and Honey. Sugar. 36 27" 63 "of Humic acid.
Thu.;! we see why the leaves drink in carbonic acid and water, which, together·, yield all the elements of the above substances, and why the oxyg.en of' the carhonic acid, which only served to render the carbol1,gaseous, is g1ven off again as. being of no use to the, plant. In order to snpply the loss of cal'bonie aci4 sllstailled by the atmosphere, in whiCh it serves other important purposes, it is restored to it by animals whose breath contains it, by the decay of plants and \lnimals,. alld by the burning of wow and coal,-the carbon of which, alier·. uniting with lhe oxygen of the air, becomes again the very carbonic acid which is required. Thus" animals produce C3rbonic acid, upon which plants live, and from carbonic acid and wate( together, plants, produce starch, &c, upon which animals live. .
Ghtten cOllilists or-the above-mentioned elements, together with Nitrogen and a littl'll sulphur, and phosphorus; these three last are derived almost solely from the soil, lind hence the importance of adding to the soil manures which shall contain them.
II, OF THE' NATURE OF THE SOlL.-The soil, like the plant, consists of all organic or combustible, and of an ingrganic or incombustihle portion: this may be I'eadily seen by heating a little of it on the end of a !mife. The blackening thus produced depends upon the carbonaceous matter, which gradually burns oUl and leaves the proper mineral portion of the soi,! by itself. .
The organic part of the soil, as is· well lmown, is derived from the roots and stem$ of d~cayed plants, and from the du~g find .rema~ns of small. animals. A ,good soil contams from one-tenth to one-twentieth of Its weight df orgamc matter, while barren peaty soils may contain three-fourths or more orit. By frequent ploughing and crop, ping, with insufficient manure, the organic matter diminishes, while it increases again by leaving the land to pasture, bylfreely supplying it with barn-yard manure or peat compost, by ploughing in green crops, by growing clover and other long-rooted plants, which are left in'the soil. Much of this organic matter enters the rOQts, ofJ?lants as. food, and is necessary to their. healthy growth. .
The minera.l part of the soil is derived from the crumbling down of' solId rocks. It consislij principally of sand,. clay and lime, and most rocks may be regarded as. more or less hardened sall-dstones, limestones and elays (slates ~nd sh~les): Hence,. soils are classed according to the preponderan~e of on: or other lDgredI~nt 1l1~0 sandy or li~ht soils, stiff clay soils and calcareous SOIls, Mlxlure~ of Illese l ill vUI!ous pr\l~
10(J
P"rtrons, are cnlled Loams or loamy soils. The light BanS' are most eas'lly ana cffe'aplj cultivated, and are best adapted for barley. turnips, rye, buckweat and corn,. and green crops. Heavy clay lands, again, gene~a~ly require to be drai~ed first, or they are laid down to permanent pasture. In drammg such land the dralDs ought always> to be as deep as possible, say, at least, from thirty to thirty-six inches, and not farther than fifteen to twenty feet apart. In this· country stone drains are. preferred. though tile drains, of one or two inC'hes bore, are conceIved to be the. best In England. Most cultivated plants send their roots down two or three feet, and the deeper the dry soil is made, the deeper the roots can gD in search or food. Deep drainage. while it allows: more freedom in ploughing and digging the fields, lets in the air to the stibsoil,and allows rain water to sink down and wash out otl'it anything that may be hurtful to the roots of plants: of these, iron-ouhres is the most common, and by itscementing' qualities converts a layer of earth or gravel intO' a retentive pan.
By dtaining. by subsoil ploughing (which brings up' the subsoil), and by the addi. tion oflime or marl, heavy clay land .. may be rendered lighter, or mor~ cheap t()f work; they wiU then also yield far beavier crops, and gFow green crops in addition;
The inorganic or earthy part of the soil serves both to' ~x the plant and to' i!lllpply it witb its (ood. It consists chiefly of silica (or sand), al'umina (or the earth of clays) and lilll€, &c., but it also contains small quantitieS'of potash~ soda. magnesia. oxide of iron, oxide of manganese, sulphuric acid, phusph01·ic acid. and chlorine; all of tbese, it will be observed, are precisely the same substances which the chemist has detected in the ash of plants. In the soil, however, they exist in Vf'JCy different proportions; thus, alumina is al",':Ys present in the- soil, and seldom, if ever, i~ plants: it serves chiefly to give stiJfness to the Boil in which the plants grow, and to' enable it to hold their watery food.. Neither i. silica present in so large proportional 4!uantity in the ash of plants: it is of use cmeRy to gi~e lightness- to the soil, and to' obviate the bad! effectS' of too much water. By a due proportion of these two suhstances (sa9ld and day>. wbich are possessed: C'1f such opposite qU'alities, the proper' texture of tbe soil is maintained. None of tbe above sn6stances axiBtin the aIr, and· tbel'efate, the plant 'must have absorbed them while dissolved' in the water of the Boii in which its roots are spread out.
A soi~, to. be fertile, mnst contain all these SUibstanees, for plantS'requira them all,. though m different proportions, for their healthy growth. Tbis wiU be further illusw trated by the subjoined table.

Bllrr~~ness ' sometimes arises from the soil containing too much ~f some of th~se elemerits·; oxide of iron or c(nnmon salt are thus often injurious to the soil. 'rhis ease is best met by thorough draining, subsoil ploughing, andlimingwhereneeessary. But besides these natural causes of barrenness, any soil may be rendered barren by being tre~ted, year after year. with tRo same crop. The reason of this is, that these crops draw cert~in substances from the soil in great abundance, and a,fter a
. number of years tlae soil can l!(') longer furnish these substances in sufficient quantity for t~eir healthy ar abundant growth; thus, grain crops especially exhaust the soil of phosphoric acid, potash ana IDagnesia.-But this will be better understood by refel'ring to the snbjoined Table. wbicn exhibits the composition iu 100 pounds of the ash of several kinds of grain. .

To remedy this special exhaustion, we mus.t return to the soil the par~icula: substauces whick have been removed by croppmg. Should the p,hosphonc aCId, for
~02
instance, be'removed, wemllst return'itag!lin under 'the torm' of bone dust, or gual'lO, 'vr phosphate of lime, . .
A fertile soil, it will also be observed, f!lay be rendered unproductive by any ki~d ''Of cropping ,-'that 'is, if the crops are cam~d off the .land, an~ no return made to It, -for every crop takes a wa y from the SOl!, a certam q~antlty of those substance3 'which all ,plants requ.ire., Hence, the fertlhty~f the soil can only ~~ permanently 'sustained by putting in the proper substances, tn the proper quantttus, and at lhe proper'ti'l7les. . .
To keep utdhe 'fertility of the land, a farmer must put m at least as much as he takes 6ut ; to make his land better, he must put in more than he takes out. All this time be it observed., he takes off the land what he can sell for much money (crops), and he puts iu what he can buy for comparatively little money (manure). 'The nature of tae soil and the 'plant is such that the latter can, by proper management, be made to convert manure, the worthless refuse of our horses aDd cattle, into valuable food.
III. OF THE NATtrltE AND APPLICATION OF MANlt'REs.-Any thing that furnishes food to growing plants may be called a manure. Some contain the t~rtilizing elements under a small bu~k, and are called Portable ,ITl!mures: these. include Iluauo;bone dnst, tape dust, pigeon dung, phosphate of lime, gypsum, mtrate of soda, &c. They may, all of them, be carried to great di.talll'ees, and yet be applied with profit by the farmer,.
1. 'Vegetable Manures are those parts of plant! which are usually buried III the soil for the purpose of making it more productive. The m'e'st important are g'rallS, clover,straw, hay, potato tops, rape dust, 4-c.
The soil is manured with green grass, when grass land is ploughed up. Tn the 'same way, clover, buckwheat, rye, and even yonng turnips, are ploughed in g\'een to enrich the Boil. These all produce the best effects when plonghed into light sandy soils.
Sea-weed likewise, either spread on land or ploullhed in, or allowed to rot and sink in, or, best of all, composted with earth and with shell sand or matI, forms a very valuable manure, especially for potato crops.
Potato't&p8 may be ploughed in with advantage to the next year's gtain crop. By pulling off,the blossoms these tops are kept in a green state till the potatoes are dug up.
Turnip tops are also highly prized as a green manure. Near Edinburgh, the ,tarnip tops are reckoned equal to eight tons of fatm.yard manure.
Hay is usually applied to land in the shape of the dung of horsps and cattle. Straw is partly used as dung and partly trodden among the litter of the stalls gr
'barn-yard. If light land is to be manured for n green crop, the straw ought to be well fermented or rotted, but for heavy clay land, during the naked fallow before a crop of wheat, the straw ought to be more loose and unfermented as it thUll serves 'to keep the land open. >
Rape calfe a!,d rape dust (~he r~j'use that remains after the rape seed has been pressed for It~ oJ!) may' be apphed With profit (16 to 20 cwl. to an acre) for turnips 1IT potatoes, m place of the whole or part of the common farm-yard dung,-0I" to the ext~nt of three to five hundred weight per acre, as a top-dressing to young wheat in llprmg.
2. Animal Manlltes inclUde blood, flesh, bones, kenr, wool and the dung and urine'of animals., and the refu~e offish. '
Blood isa very powerful manure. It is generally applied as mixed with other refuse of slaughter-houses, but in some places it is dried and applied as a top-dressing or is drilled in with the seed. •
The flesh of dead animal~ buried in soil or saw-dust, with a little marl makes a most enriching compost. '
Bones are crashed in mills, and then sifted into the various sizes of ineh.bones half-inch hones and hone duat. The bone dust acts most quickly, but its effecta I!,t~
103
iesspermanent. Bones are ~est for light or d~y land~, Instead or the whole or ora part; 'of the farm-yard manure. 'I hey are often mixed with wood ashes and drilled ia with tu~nip seed. It is advisable, ~fter rais!ng one crop of turl1ips with bones' alone, to raise the I).ext crop on the same field wIth farm-yard manure alone. On soils rich in phosphates, bones produce lilt.le benefit; bu~ from soils poor in phosphates, excellent crops, both of wheat and turolps, may be raised b~ the USE> <Jf bones. Bones, as usually applie? to land, consist o~ abont equal parts o~ PhospitaiJe of Lime (Bone earth) and Gelahne or glue. Glue IS a good manure of Itself, alld all plants requirephos_ phoric a~id ~nd lime for their healthy growth. Everyone hundred pounds of bumt bones will Yield forty to forty-five Ibs. of phosphoric acid.
Bones are li~ewise usefully applied to pasture lands ,; they supply the phosphates of which the land had been robbed by the cows fed upon it. Every ten gallons o~ milk contain about half a pound of bone earth, and for every half pound thus carned away, one pound of common bone dllst should be returned. If it be not returned, only those grasses can grow which require little bone earth' where it is returned to the soil, new grasses spring up, which enable the cow to produce milk in greater a.bundanee, and richer in cheese than before.
When bone dust is stirre.d in with an equal weight of oil. of vitriol, diluted with rather more than its own weight of water, it is diilsolved, and in the minute state of division.to which it ~as now been reduced, may be more advantageously applied to the land. The solution may be either weakened by the addition of thirty times its bulk of water, and ailplied with a water-cart, or it may be dried up with peat, saw.dust or soil, and drilled in as bones usually are. ,
Hair a.nd woollen rags, when mixed with earth, make an 'excellent compost, but 'they are hardly accessible in this country a. yet.
Animal dung is largely used as manure. Of the variouB kinds, night soil, and Mrds' dung are the most valuable; next to these is horse dung, after that, pigs' dung, and lastly, cows' dung.
Tl)e superior value of night soil results from the mixed nature of the food, which is both of animal and vegetable nature.
Horse dung is richer than cow's dung, because the horse voids so little urine as compared with the cow. A stall-fed cow voids about 2000 or 3000 gallons of urine in a year, and this carries off a large proportion of that which' would otherwise be favorable to fermentation.
Pigs' dung is best used as compost, or mixed with that of other animals. The mixed dung of animals differs from their food principally in containing less
c~rbon and more nitrogen "and saline matter. 'l'he carbon of the food is consumed during breathing, having been united with the oxygen of the air which enters the lungs, and ag1in thrown off as carbonic acid gas. In this way, a man gives offllbout half a pound of carbon in a day, and a cow or a horse throws off eight or ten times as much. This larger proportion of nitrogen and saline matter is one of the principal causes pf the greater activity of the dung of animals. During the fermentation of manures, hydrogen and nitrogen (3: 14) combine together to form a str?ng sm.elling gas, technically termed ammonia or hartshorn, and the presence of thIS gas IS the cause of the pungent smell perceived in hot stables. If the smell be ".ot .su~cient to distinguish it, its presence over dung-heaps or in the stable may be readily mdlCated by a feather dipped in vinegar or spirit of salt, which will become snrrou~ded by white fllmes. This pungent gas is readily di~solved by water, and is sucked In by the roots of plants. Within the plant it is ,ag!lin decom~sed, and helps.to ~orm g~ut~n and other substances. Now, as ammorna IS produced In largest quantIty m the hquld part, especially of cows' dung, it is of the greatest import!lDce to prevent this liquid from running to waste. One thousand gallons of cow's urme have been found to be equal upon grass to two "wt. of guano, and upon turnips superior to twenty cartloads of good farm-yard dun... Every farm-yard, therefore, ought to possess a tank oT cistern for the purpose of receiving this usefnlliquid, which, after ferrnent~tion and dilution with water, may be applied on grass land or any young crops WIth a ",ut&f catt. It may also be occasionally pumped upon dung or compost heaps so as to
104
promote their fermentation. It is worth while to remark tha.t the fermented urine of cows, horse~ and sheep, contain potash, soda and· ammoma, but ~o phosphatef; while the drainings of dung-heaps, the urine of man and that of the pIg does contam them.
There is another liquid called the ammoniacal liquo,r of th~ gas works, w}1ich might be employed as a liquid manure. .It ought to be dduted wI.th ~our or five times its own weight of water, and employed m the same way as the liquId manure of the farm-yard. ,
Pigeon's dung and guano (which is the dung of sea-fowl) may be profitably applied as a top-dressing (2 cwb. per acre) to young crops, or they may be nsed.very advantageously Whllll mixed with h~lf of the usual farI?-.yard dung for th~ turmp ~r potato crop (2 or 3 c'IVt. per acre); III the latter case, It I~ bet,ter to cover It or to mIx it with a quantity of earth, to prevent the seed, from touchmg, It, Gua~o ought never to be mixed with quicklime, because the latter will set free Its ammoma, and cause it to escape into the air.' .
Fish refuse, wheu it cau be had, fqrms an excellent manure, and IS best used when made into a compost with earth and marl. 'this compost ought to be turned over once or twice before using.
3. Saline, or Mineral manures. Of these the most important are Bone Earth, Soda Nitre, Epsom Salts, Common Salt, Gypsum, Kelp, Soot, Wood .flshe.~, and Lime.
Pho.~phate of Lime, or Bone earth, occnrs as a mineral in some places, and is contained to a variable extent in alilimcstones. When this mineral phosphate is applied in the stllte of powder, or dissolved in oil of vitriol, it is very advantageously used as a mannre, both to the grain and root crops.
SodlJr.Nitre (a natural compound of Nit?'ic acid and Soda), which is imported from Pem at a low rate, may be advantageously applied as a top-dressing to grass land and to young corn. Its beneficial action depends upon ils supplying nitrogen and soda to the growing crops.
Glauber Salts are composed of sulphuric acid (oil of vitriol) and soda. Wheri it can be had at a cheap rate, it may be advantageously applied as a top-dressing to grass lands, to turnips, beans, and young potato plants. It yields both sulphuric acid and soda, which are required by the young plants.
Epsom salts, a compound of sulphuric acid and m.agneisa, bas been used as a top-dressing for wheat and for the potato: both of its constituents are required by cr~ •
Common Salt is a compound of chlorine and sodium, both of which are required by plants. As the sea-breezes generally convey a little salt water for many miles inland, common salt will be most useful in places remote from the sea-shore. It may either be applied aB a top-dressing, or it may be mixed with other manure, or with the water used in slaking quick-lime. .
Native gypsum or plasle?' consists of sulphuric acid, lime anc! water. When heated to redness, it loses twenty-one per eent. of water, ancl is then called burned gypsum. In the state of powder, it forms an excellent top-dressing for clover, peas an~' beans, and is recommended for strewing on fermenting dung-heaps, or on tbe mOIst floor of stables, so as to fix the ammonia, or to bring it into Buch a state that it will escape less readily into the air :-as these saline manures contain but few ingr~die.nts, it is generally batter to use mixtures of them. They ought also to be ap. phed III calm weather, and soon after or before rain, so that they may be dissolved in the soil.
Kelp? or the ash of burned se~-weed, may be e~ployed as a top-dressing to grass and gram crops. For root crops It may be used eIther alone, at the rate of four. to six cwt. an acre, or with half farm-yard manure. ,
Wood ashes, when applied to grass lands, destroy moss and improve the herbage. They may be also employed on most otber crops wlth advantage, mixed with bones, rape dust, guano, &c. _

us a top-dlessing to l.and, as a manure for potatoes, and as an admixture with other manures. I,
Li1r!e.stone c?nsists of lime in union with carbonic acid; by chemists it is termed carbonate of l1me. One hundred tons of pure limestone contain fifty-six tons oflime and forty-four tons of carbonic acid.
Marl is carbOnate of lime in a state of fine powder, and more or less mixed with ,earthy matter. Both limestones and marls may contain from one to four per cent. of phosphate of lime.
Shells and Shell sand are also nearly the same thing as common lim ()Stone. Marls and shell sand may be applied with advantage as a top-dressing to SOUl', coarse and mossy grass lands. They may also be ploughed or harrowed inttt arable land, and may ~e ap¥lied with e~pecial ~dvantage, and iJ?-large quantity, to peaty soils. They may lIkeWIse be used In makmg composts WIth earth and, vegetables, or animal matter.
The presence of the carbonate of lima in a soil, or in a marl or stone, may be readily detected llY pauring a little vinegar .or weak spirit of salt upan a little of it placed in a glass. If any bubbling np .or effervescence ensues it must be due. to the presence of carbonic acid, which thus e~capes through the. liquid which has been added.
'When limestane is burned in the kiln, the. carbanic acid is driven off by the heat, and li.me alone remains. In this state it is called quick .or hot lime,and one ton of pure limestone yields about Hi cwts. of quick lime. . "
'When water is paured on quick lime, th!) water is absorbed by thE\ .lime and dis-. appears.. Much heat is likewise given off, the lime falls to pieces, and takes the name .of slaked .or slacked lime. In this, 'one ton .of pure lime becames 21O! cwts. of slaked lime. .
But if water had not been poured on, the quick lime wO)lld have gradually absorbed watery vapaur from the air and fallen ta pieces, in which state it is said t.o have been air~slalced. But besides drinking in watery vapour, it alsa absarbs carbonic acid froni the atmosphere, imd returns at length to the state of carbDnate or milrlo lime. When it has thus returned ta the state .of carbol,late it farms a very fine pawdel', and can be thoraughly mixed with the soil. Quick lime acts much in the same wayuponland as mild lime, but more quickly. Their beneficial effect depends uPQn their supplying thelime which all plants require as part .of their fa ad-by combining with a.cids in the soil sa as to remove the saurness of land, and by converting the vegetable matter of the soil into the foad of plants.
Lime is best applied on the surfi,ee of land, as it naturally tends tD sink. Quick lime is the besl fDr peaty sDils, for heavy clay soils, fo.r arable lands which are SDur, and for sllch as cantain a great deal .of vegetable matter. Wet air-slacl<ed lime, ·again, is said ta be 'best,for hill pastures.
In England, quick lime is usually added to land at the rale .of 8 or 10 bu.hels a year to an imperial acre. ~I\ is generally put in" however, at the beginning of every rota'lien .or every secDnel rotation. It is observed ta .produce a greater effect upDn dry t1Ia~ upan w"et land, but in a.l<l cases it requires ~abe repeated at.certain intel'yal~, as some .ef it must be removeil III the crops, some IS removed by rums, and some ~mks into the subsail. The use .of lime alane can never prevent the exhaustian .of ·land. Manureis.requil·ed as well us lime for the healthy and luxuriant grawth of crops; and, as is weH understood,
"The use ofmaJI',witholl~ manure \rVill always make the farmer poor."
IV. OF THE ADAPTATION OF THE CROPS FOn. FoaD.-The different kinds of grain which the farmer reaps, consist chiefly of starch, gluten, and oil or fat, in different proportions; thus, 100 pounds of
Rye cantain abaut 50 of starcb, 10 of gluten, and 2 Dr 3 of oil. Wheat " 50 10" 2 .or 3 Oats 60 16" 6 Corn . " 70" 12 II 8 "
;l06
Root crops consist chiefly of water and starch.; thus, potatees contain abont 75 'Per cent. of wate~; ma~gold~wurtzel, 85;. and. tur~ips, 88 pe~ c~nt. The proporti~n of their different mgredlents IS found to differ m different varletles of the same gram or root, and in different climates and soils.
Both seeds and roots leave a smallilsh when burned, as may 'be seen by ref~rring to the Table at p. 101. In .every c~se, how.ever, it!s phosp~oric acid,in co~biuati~n with potash, soia, magnena and hme., which are Its Illost Important mgredlents.
Veaetable. to bB suitable for the food of animals, must co uta in 13ubstances simila r in co~position to those which exist in the bodies of the latter, and these are the gluten, oil and mirieral matter, which collectively make 'up the bnlk. of 'all !he plants ,,.hich are cultivated by the farmer. Starch, sugar and gum, WhlCh consists of carI)on and water, supply the carbon which animals throw off from their lungs during ~espiration. A man who throws off from 'his lungs, under form dfcarbonic acid gas, six or eiaht ounces of carbon in a day, must consume nearly a pound of starch in the same ti~e in order to replace it. The carbon of the food, in becoming carbonic acid, gives off the heat required to maintain 'the warmth of the animal body. The gag ~tself, when given off with the breath and diffused through the atmosphere, is again ab.orbed by plat1t!1 and transformed into starcb : so thaI there is here a mutual dependence and harmony established between the animal anll vQgetable kingdom.
l'he gluten ofihe food is required for the purpose of rll'pairing the daily wute of the muscular or fieshy parts of the body. Tnere is rea ion to belie"e ihat the flesh and all tbe parts or the body are removed in the course ora few years, having form'ed, in the In.t stage, the dung and urine of the animal. Now, the gluten of plants has almost exactly the sam,e composition as the flesh of animals, and, accordingly, is well fitted to repair the waste which takes place.
The oil or fat of the food serves to supply the natural waste of fatty'matter in the animal boily. Wben more tban that is taken, fat accumulates in the animal. Linseed oil-cake and the like, which contain much oil, WIll, therefore, generally fauen moat quickly.
The phosphate of lime and other mineral matters of the food serve to supply the daily waste of'the bones, of the salts ,of fhe blood, &c.
A ~rowing animal will obviously require a larger supply of gluten and saline matter than a full-grown animal, which has o'nly to supply the daily wa~te of the body.
In order to convert a ton of oats or turnips into the largest quan~ity of beef or mutton, the cattle or sheep ought to be kept in a warm and sheltered place, where they might have wbolesome air, and btlt little light, and where they would be as little disturbed as possible. In orier to fatten a full-grown beast. it should be kept wa'l'rn and quiet, and fed with fat or oily food, Buch n~ oil-cake, oats, corn, boiled linseed jelly, &c., with a good supply of turnips; but if tne object ;be to get the riche..t manure only! the stock ought to be kept in a cool anll sheltered place, and to be allowed to iake a good deal of exercise. Fattening cows"'and bullocks do bal!! with fresh and sweet food, while pigs thrive best on food that has been slightly soured.
AU arrimals, even pigs, thrive hest when their skins are kept clean, and their food sapp!ieil. to them at regular interrals, say, at least three times a day.
011' ~IL~ ANn DAIRY PRoDucE.-Milk consi!lls of water, curd, butter, and a pecuhar kmd of sugar, called milk sugar. 100 Ibs. of milk contain about 4~ Ibs. of eurd, 3 of butter, and 4.1 of milk sugar: nearly all the rest is water.
"Vhen new milk iii set aside, the fat rises in the form of eream, and can be skimmed off; a little vinegar or rennat separates the curd, and the su:,:ax is obtained, by .evaporating the whey.
Commun butter consists offat, water, and a little curd. 100 Ibil. of fresh butter eontain 10 or 12 Ibs. of water, and about one .f curd: the rest is fat •
. Cheese consists of pure curd, butter or fat, and water. 100 lb •. of cheese cootam from 30 to 4? lbs. of water. Ski.u-milk ~hee.e contains from six to tell per cent. of butter; full-milk cheese from twenty te thIrty per cent. of butter, anll abollt lIS much CI1I<'i.
107
.. In ~rde~ to . ~ake a cow gi~e th~ large~t possible quantity of milk, she "hoold he red with rich JIlICY grass .. turnips Wlt~ 1:helr tops, green ry~, brewers' grains, warm mashes or otber watery food, and drmk as often as she will take it· but auain if it is desired to get mil~ of the best possible quality, a cow should ha ~e drie~ fo~doats, beans, bran, rol-c.ake,. and clover hay, along with her turnips or blJiled food. In .order to !nake her gIVe milch butter, she should have the same food as a fattening aOimal- o~l-cake, oats, b~r1ey, corn-meal, and some tllrnips. To get much cheese frBm the milk, the cow -ought to get beans, peas, vetches and dover with oil-cake a}1 of which ,make the ~ilk richer in curd, that is, they contain a ve~y large propor: tlOn of a suhsta nee which has nearly the same composition and properties as the curd ilfmilk •
. Milk itself contains all the elements cif a nutritious food. The blltter of milk supplIes the fdt of ~he .body; the curd supports the muscles; the milk sugar supplies the carbon for resplratlou ; and the phosphates, the earthy matter of the bones. Like blood, it is the most complex fluid iu nature ~ and, like blood it is of itself: qualified to sustain and .oourish the life of animals. "

APPENDIX ..
JINNUU· REPORT O·F TIlE SAINT JOHN· AGRICULTUR.11 SOCIETY.
The Directors of the 8aiht John County Agricultural Society beg to submit tlie following Report to the annual meeting. During the past year, monthly meeti!lglf have been regularly held, aud have been well attended; the consequence of which· has been that much discussion has taken place, and comriderable efforts have been, made to ~dvance the interests of' agriculture. Most of the remarks which will close thisReport are the fruit of such discussions;. The action taken by the Directors· will b~nalrated in detail.
Impressed with the importance of obtaining , and diffusing sound knowledge on the subject which they have in hand,. the following publications have been received ana circulated,-" Johnston's Lectures on Agriculture," "'Stephen's Book of the· Farm," "The Jomnals of the Royal Agricultuml Societies of EngJand and Scotland," "'l'he London Gardeners' Chronicle," "·The North British Agriculturist," and" The Albany Cultivator."
Having learned, early in the year"lhnt Professor Johnston, of the University of Durham, and 'Lecturer to the Agricultural Society of Scotlanu, had been inviteu to visit the United States" the Directors brought the matter under the notice of the Government, and, petitioned His Excellency to invite the Professor to visit this Province on his route, and gIve his opinion on its agricultural capabilities. This request' was complied with. The Professor is now with us, and is making him"elf acquainted' with the soil and prodnce of each section of the Province. It is to be hoped that his report will be carefully studied, and his directions followed by every farmer. As to his ability to teach, it need only be said, that his opinions are valued wherever
, scientific agriculture is known; and that the best ffirmers of Britain and the United States have heen glad to come before him in the attitude of learners.
For the purpose of inducing the farmers of this County to test the utility of thorottgh-draining, the Directors offer-cd premiums to such as would undertake the experiment, and report on the results.. A copy of the conditions and directions will b,8 fcundin the appendix. As the Directors have reason to hope, that the Commissioners of: the Provincial Penitentiary will import a tile machine to manufacture, draining pipes during the next season, they will allow 'another yenr to intending. competitors. For their information, it may be remarked, that in England tile draining is done at less than half the cost of stone dJ!aining, even when stolle is,on the land,. and is more effecti¥e. The former costs, in England,.from £3 to £6 per acre, with drains 3 to 5 fiet deep, aud 20 to 40 feet apart ~ the latter from £10 to £80. The bottom of the drain is cnt exactly to the width of a two or three inch pipe. After the pipes are securely fitted, the clay is packed closely back upon thenl, without any stone, brush,. or ot?er: :naterial;'and howev~r singnlar it may .eem, experience has proved, that hy thIS SImple and cheap dramage, not only are springs and' wet lands. dried, but that even the surface water finds its way to the conduits, render-, ing the land more permeable,.easier worked, and'earlier. ready for the seed than be.fore,:and the crops healthier, more abundant, and fully three weeks sooner' ready for the sickle.,
The Dir.ectors caused a large quantity of turnip, carrot, beet, and parsnip seed to be imported last season, together with wheat, barley,. and oats, all of which were:-eadily· ~olu, withou: loss. They would recomm~nd that a still larger q.uantity be lIIIported,.as many thIS season were unahle to obtam a supply, and the necessity for an increased cultivation of root crops is hecoming better. understood"

The Directors offered premill:ms for the best fields, of turnips,. carrots,. mangol~ wurtzel and parsnips," quantity, quality, and cultivation considered," also for the< largest quantities of wbeat, barley, oats, buckwheat and potatoes raised. The· judges awurded these premiums· as follow :-First premium for turnips, to Thomas,. Davidson, second to Dr. Peters, third to F. J. Ayers ;' first premium for carrots, to. Di'. Peters, second to Thomas Davidson; first premium for oats and buckwheat, to Thomas Dewar; second premium for buckwheat, to Rpbert Bowes; third premium for potatoes, to Thomas Dewar; first premium for essay on making manure, t1) Ro~ bert Bowes.
The reports of the competitors will be found in the appendix. The annual fair· and cattle show was held on 27th September. The list of successful competitors.. has· been already published.
The fair, from the day' being wet, was not well attended. His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor was pleased to honor the Show with his presence, and mi_ nutelyexamined the cattle and articles exbibited. Four samples of wheat were shown; ooe weighed 641bs. and two over 60.. The oats. weighed 46,. 44 and 421b3 •. per bushel. The turnips, carrots, mangold V)'urtzel, and potatoes, were very supe~ riftr, and pronounced by the judges as good as could be raised in. any country .. There is but little butter and no cheese made in this county.' In th,e. appendix will; be found directions· for making both in the most approved methods.
For the purpose of encouraging the production of these articles in tbe county,. the. Directors would recommend that ,large premiums be offereet for the largest. quantities. of good quality made in anyone dairy. .
The Directors· have to report in relation to the crops in the county for the past season, that bay,. except on the marshes, was very light, probably not half an aver-. age, very little wheat was grown, but, wbere tried, yielded abundantly without rust or weevil. Barley has not been successfully cultiva~ed, probably because the land has not been put in a proper condition for it, that crop requiring a very fine tiltb •. Oats have been a good crop. Buckwheat has been. extensively grown, dnd . yielded abundantly. Potatoes kept quite free f('om the disease until fully grown and nearly ripe, and, in general, were not afFected at all. In some sections, however, especially in the vicinity of thIS city, the disease made its appearance with all its former virulence. After blackening the tops, it struck down to the roots, .and in different fields. from a quarter to a ha]f were lost. It appears, therefore, that the disease has not yet taken its departure, and that the potato ought not to be depended en as the only root crop,
Carrots and turnips have been extensively cultivated, and notwithstanding the extreme drought, are generally a good crop. Mangold Wurtzel and parsnips, although hetter adapted for cows and pigs, and quite as easily raised as the others, have not been muoh tried. The English horse bean or Heligoland bean has be.en grown fol' several years on one or two farms, and when planted early have ripened and yielded well. The white bean and field pea have scarcely been tried, which is to be regretted, as they are a sure and profitable crop, and excellent alike for the tabJe and as food for cattle.
The Directors appointed Committees to organise branch Societies in the dlfferen t pl).rishee of the c?unty; one .0?ly. has been ~ormed: at .Loc~ Lomond, which hall beim conducted wlth much 8pmt ; a report of Its transactIOns 18 appended ..
An oat mill, grist mill, alld carding mi)l, has been established: at Golden GrOVEl, to wbich the Directors have awarded a premium of £25, as adv.ertised ..
An application was n~ade to this Society, by persons interested in the coloured po~ pulation at Loch Lom(Jnd, to assist in stimulating these people to help. theJ:J?Belves. Seeds were distributed amongst them, from funds furnished by a gentleman ill England\ through Mr. Duvalof tl1E) Normal. f;!chool here, and premiums offered. with a good result. Almost every family have grown more or!ess vegetables where nOne were grown before, to the ext~nt of fro~ lQ to 50 bushels t? ~ach, an~ ba~e found Qut that they can do sor;nethmg. Then' crops were surpns.mg, consldermg th~t 1heir only implement ~~ a short hoe. and that they nse little O~ nC' manure. The D~ ..
13~
rectors would recommimd that a small sum be expended in clearing up and plonglJinl a field near the school house, where the cbildren may be trained to habits of industry and be shewn the effects of proper cultivation. Tbe present teacher, if properly supported, is likely to effect much improve'!lent amongst them .. 'fheir'lund being..very fertile, and their wants few, they requIre only to be tanght mdustry and self-dependence to prevent them from continuing ~ burt~1en on the comm?nity.
The Directors have as yet been unsuccessful III then' en~eavours to mtroduce a bone mill into the county. This is to be regretted, as, beSIdes those wasted, large qll.antities of boues are annually shippe~l otr to ;'e returned to us in the shape or cabbages and flour. Perhaps the Legislature may be induced to import one, ant! have it worked in the Provincial Penitentiary.
The Directors have had under their notice the wa y in w bich grain and vegetableS' aro mf\llsured iu tbis Province, and have concluded that the present mode is objectionable, and causes much loss and inconvenience, nml would recommend tbat a petition be presented to the Legislature, prnying that a law be passed to cause all grain and vegetables to be sold by weight. Other societies are requested to examine into the matter, and, if they concnr in the opinion, to co-operate with this Society in bringing the subject before the Legislatnre. '
The Directors have pleasure in acknowledging the honour conferred on their report of last year, by Messrs. H. Chubb & Co.; and the Members of tbe Fredericton Athenreum, by its publication in the New Brunswick Almanac, by which it Wll& introduced into localities rarely vi.ited by book or newspn per, and they tru~t that. these gentlemen will be repaid by the increasing interest which is being manifested throughout the Province in Agricultunrl improvement,
In accordancJl with the Report of laS'! year, the Directors petitioned the Legislature to appoint a Central Board or Provincial Society, and to introduce agricultural education, but nothing was done. 'fhis arose chiefly from tbe opposition of the farmers in the Legislature, they being decidedly opposed to nny additional expenditure for the improvement of agriculture. Three-fourths of them actually voted against the invitation to Professor JoiInS'!on.
The Directors recommend that renewed effortS' be made to induce Government to furnish means of education suitable to young men designed for farmers, by tl:e formation of one or more large schools, with model farms attached, and by the science of agriculture being taught in all the common schools. Seminaries are maintained at the public expense for tbe education of tho~e intended for other professions; and as farming is second to none in importance, it is neither fair to the farmers nor for the general good that tbis occupation should be deprived of those benefits which science and Imowledge can afford.
The Treasurer's account is herewith submitted, .hewing a balance on hand of £40 18s. 2d. The year's subscriptions and the annual grant from Government added thereto, will ma,ke the amount available, for next year's operations, about one hundred and seventy-five pounds.
The' following general rema~ks are, as before mentioned, the results of or 81l"-geS'!ed by, the disc~ssions at the monthly meetings of the Society. ' "
The state ?f agnculture an~ those depending on it in this Province, are admitted by all to b~ m great need of nnprovement. There is little or no farming capital: an exhaustmg mode of cultivation prevails by which that little is becoming less. There is no surplus pr?duce on which to feed those who would manufacture for us; nay, farmers ~o not.raISe even en~u~h for themselves; and it is the reply to those who woul.d WIsh to ~ntroduce drammg, deep ploughing, a proper rotation of crops, and plentIful manurmg, whereby the crops would be more than doubled: Oh, but there are no markets !-we have no capital !-we cannot afford to pay for labour !_ we cannot sell at a remunerating price what we at present produce !-and why urge us on to what would be our ruin? '
, Were we seeking popularity, or desirous of gaining the favour of those to whom we address o~selves, we sho~ld probably, like the other quacks of the day; say to them that tbelI' present state IS caused by an unpropitious climate, or a steri!. soil,
133
ily errors of omission or cOlumission on the part of Government, by a want of capi_ tal ~r a want 9f ~arkets, and would ur~e th.em t~ seek for protection or free trade, t9rylsm or responsible go,vernment, reCiprOC1ty, mdependence or annexation as a cure for all their evils.'
But we hav~ ?ther e~ds in view, we wish to raise the agriculturists of our countr~ t~ the conditIOn whICh bel~n~s to them, to. that. of intelligeut, prosperousj)\_high .. prmCipled ~nen, who know their rights and their duties, and will fearlessly assert the one and fUithfally perform the other, and must, therefore, say, that from all that we have seen or .can Judge, we are ,sincerely of opinion, that general prosperity can al~ne J;leobtamed by a ~eneral in.crease of individual intelligence, energy, enter_ prise, mdnstry, and pnbhe and pnvate economy, and ,in no other way, and by_no other means whatever, and each one who desires to bring this about must begin at home, must do the dnties which lie nearest to him, mnst seek out and endeavour to fulfil the purposes for which God has placed him in this world, and resolve, that the blame of being one of a spiritless, illdolen~ -extravagant, and poverty-stricken people, shall not lie at his door. Let snch a spirit bnt be diffnsed amongst us, and with our fertile soil, healthy climate, and vast natnral resources, we are prepared to mn a race with the best nation on the face of the earth.
But increased 'production will create markets: and in this way-as soon as a surplus of provisions is afforded, the fitrmer, who was before his own.blacksmith,. shoemaker, weaver, tailor, doctor and ministe.r, finding .out the advantages of a division of lahonr, exchanges his for the 1a bour of others. Centres of those thus employed, or tOWllS nncl villages are gradually formed as snpply and demand increase. Machillery is called in to aid, and then come the large manufacturing towns.
VVe are at abont the end of the TI1"st, and beginning of tne second, period. Villages are becoming visible in every directioll-at Hampton, the Bend, Dorchestel', Sackville, Sheffield, Woodstock, &c.
Some·th;nk, and perhaps they are right, that by a cer.tain courlle of legislation, called" protection to home industry," the progress towards prosperity can be much hastened; others, that uade should be left to -seek out and follow its natural chanlIlJiS, and that Government cannot interfere with the industry of one class, but at the expense and to the injury of oth",·s." As an agricultural society, we discard politics, anel cannot, therefore, properly express our opinion on either side; whatever way, howevel', is taken, a speedy progress to prosperity can only follow an increase of <enterprise and intelligent industr¥_, '
In inquiring into t.he ca-Llses of the-backward state of agricultllre, the small amount of accumuln.t.ed capita.], i,l proportion to the business done, and the want of energy and enterpriils in the people, jt is o~"ious tba.t, . like r-i?h men's sons, we have had so nianyadvantages bestowed upon ns, that our energies ha;ve been -cramped. Om tGrests have been to us like the gold mines to Spain-they br{)ught money so easily, that not knowing the value of it, we let it go as it cama.
'I'hfl gambling na ture Qf the trade in timber opemted also to seduce people from the more slow bnt sure modes of making a li>ring. The profits of farming-nay, in too many cases, the farllls themselves have been sacrificed to the insatiable craving for an easy and quiok way of malting motley which this trade seellled to offer.
From the ease with which the timber growing upon every farm cOllld be converted dnto money, .he popll'!atiolll~~ve also acquired" taste for certain descriptions offooo, ~otin themselves more nutntJOUS or agreeable to the taste than the graIns and other produce of the country, hut whicb. habit has rendered so essential that their nse iR persisted in, now even when the timber is gone, so that the farmer, from whom w~ Quah! to expect not only nil our provisi9ns and clothing, bnt articles of export to pay for'=> the few foreign luxuries we- require, and cannot produce, are themselves tke chief consumers of imports, withont furnishing a si~gle expo:t in return. .
It may be profitable to us to compare notes With our fnends across the hne~_ tlley·l;tave no udvantaa8 over ns in soil or climate, and we are all of the .ame i>lood. In former tim~s, Jik~ us, they attended to lumbering, to the neglect of liIb.cir farms~
134
'Some thirty years ago they were very much in our circnmstances: the lands 'worn out no markets, and 'unable to compete with the produce of the new and 'fertile w~stern country. The western fever seized them, and an almost general <lesertion of the farmin'" population took place, We have read accounts of the Northern States at that °period, which might be applied w~rd for word to ou,r ~wn country at this day. In process of time, n~mbe~s of the e~lIIgra~ts returned, m.l,m,paired health having found out that a ferlJie SOIl and mild chmate (competItIon and cost of t:ansport rendering money-making out of the question) were dearly 'bowiht at the prICe of health. A new stimulus was given to agricnltural pursuits, 'bett~r modes of cruture were adopted, improved stock imported, a sonnd education made accessible to aU, and they are now a prosperous and happy people.
Let us compare their present state with ours-perhaps we may profit by taking a 'leaf out of their book. While tbey are furoi.hing a surplus of butter, cheese, beef -and pork, as an export to the English market, we, with equal facilities, do not pro'duee enough for ourselves. While we are grumbling over our long winter, wasting 'OUI' time-in jnnketing, lounging about taverns or law courts, or what is as bad, cutting logs which will require the best part of the summer to get to market, and in ,the end run us in debt; their young men and maidens, taking the advantage of every waterpower, and daily inventing new machinery, are making palm-leaf hats, pails, 'brooms, rakes, and axes, which they hand over to DS in exchange for our dollars. While we are pampering ourselves on Genessee flonr and yankee pork, the very :people who f'lrnish ns with these articles pride th~mselves in living on corn, rye, and
, -buckwheat. While they willingly tax themselves to support a school system which 'surpasses all that the ;yorld has ever seen, and by which every child may obtain the -education of a gentleman, we dole out such miserable pittances that no teacher who 'has 'strength to be a labourer will stay with us. While they give all hononr and re·spect to the intelligent workers of all classes-while their farmers take pride in their -occupation, and keep their scorn for the loafers who seek to live on the labour of 'others·-we despise the horny hand and homespun coat, and those only who are fit ),for nothing else become farmers. While they love their country and the wise institutions which their own manly exertions have founded, and stir up their national pride by bragging about themselves and all that belongs to them, we, with natural ·advantages quite equal to theirs, with institutions such as we are pleased to make 'thelll, and which are inferior to theirs only through our own lethargy and stupidity, ·are contented to grovel on year after year, in servile submission to those evils which ·are the effects of our own spiritless and short-sighted selfishness, without the power 10 make that vigorous and united effort which alone is required Po plaee us in a posi'lion. quite equal to ~heirs~ in the meantime, grumbling at and disparaging a country, ·a chmate, and a soli, whIch are but too good fer such thankless ingrates. T~ conc~ude, while they, having exercised a rigid and wise econDmy in their do
'mestlc affulfs, turn as 'One man'to take the sanw care of their public matt'lrs, to Bee 'that no extravagant salaries are paid, and tha!! their public, like their private, ser'Vants, gi.ve a fair ~~y's work for a fair day's wages, we-but we must stop, as we -are vergmg on politICS.
In our Report of last year, we gave it as our opinion that the low price of beef in 'Ollf inarkets might be attributed chiefly to undue competition amongst the producers 'Of that article ~aused by the want of green crops, for winter feeding. We were agreeaibly surprIsed to find that Mr. Macaulay, in his recently published History of England, after describing the state of agriculture in the time of Charles the Second 'in words that mlghF be applied almost literally to this Province at this day addnc~ a eimilar reason for like circumstances then existing, and further corrobo~tes other of 'Our opiilion~ by stating! that th.e agricultural ~rosperit:l: of England, at a 1lI0re recent p~rlOd, might be mamly attClbuted to the mtroductlOn of green cropping on an ~xtenSlVe Bcale.
But we may be required to !thow where the capital is to come from that is necesaary for carrying out this improved mode of farming, and although the subject is a difficult one, we do not shrink from the task.

Do our farmers make a good use of the capital they have I-Do they take advantage of the light shed lly science and increased knowledge on their pursuits i-Do they soek to profit by the experience of others 1_ Do they add the profits derived from farming to the capital, and invest them in further improvell}ents I-Or do they., on the contrary, regularly loan their profits 'on mortgage, invest them in more lund, build saw-mills, or expend them ,m fittmg out .their sons as lawyers or store-keepers I-Or to leave generalities and go mto particulars-would not the difference ·.in produce arising from a proper -rotation of crops. and the present exhausting system, soon increase capitaU-Could not each farme: ,in the country, by the mere exercise of his commop. sense applied to the matter, at least double the quantity and quality of his manure I-Would not the difference between raismg cows of the value of £5 and £10, between a dairy of cows yieiding 4lbs. and Sibs. of butter each per week, between beef selling at 1M. and 5d. per lb.,
'cheese at 3d. and 6d., butter at Sd. and Is., oats at Is. 6i1, anil &.-all such differ··.ences, being the result df (lifferent management merely, soon leave a sUrplns of profits which would change the country from a poor into a rich one 1
Another mode of obtaining capital, howe¥er, is open to us, by means of Banks. Banking capital m this cOUlltry has hitherto been available only to those engaged m c0mmercial pursuits. Farmers have been .rigidly excluded from it, and ,this chiefly ibecause our Banks were originated for the express purpose of accommodating the mercantile and lumbering interests.
The plan on which thel are formed, being a combination of the busmess of the exchange-broker and malley-lender, forces them to have their main dealings with those whl) can furnish them with Bills of Exchange drawn against exports, and causes '.the accommodation wltich they can afford to the general interests to be to a limited extent in amonnt, and temporary and nncertain in duration:.
Were ·0ur farmers to furnish an export, whlch they will do sooner or later, 'Blly of 'beef, pork, butter, cheese, weol, hemp, or v'egetables, the Banks, as now constituted. weuld, no doubt, be as ready to deal with them as with otherprodacers. W~ may mention, as an instance of what may be done in this way, that the farmers' wives in the State of Ma,ine expof.t a greater vallie of poultry and eggs than we do 'in timber.
But Banks are wanted with a coostituti0n Sill founded as to enable them to advance c~pital to farmers without, at least, the immediate necessity of such a return; and what js called the Scotch Banlring system precisely meets our case.
This system was founded for the encouragement of agriculture, and has. not hitherto extended beyond that kingdom.. On this system, productive land, instead of .gold and silver deposited. is the value pledged on which the Banks are allowed to dasue noteS!, and money i. principally loaned on whllt are called cash credits-the horrower being allowed to draw to a certain extent, and paying daily interest on the ;amount at his debit., '
But before farmers can obtain loans on this or any other system, theyroust first >!renerally deserve and obtain the character of being prudent, industrious, frugal, up~ight, honourable men, willing and prempt to fnlfil all engagements at .whatever sa,crifice; and second, shew that they can make a pl'lllha ble use ef capItal loaned t1> !them. .
That there are many farmers who come ap to the first condition we are happy to:) \t~ able to bear testimony; still, from the demoralising nature of the timber tra~e, iii whieh so many have been engaged, we are not prepared to say, that the above can as yet be hetd a9 the ('!nenl character of our people: With regar~ to the seco~di anyone who travels \. k10ugh the country and sees the mere plaYlng at farmmg which generally prevails; the main i!art of the farms lying in ~eedy and worn-Out hay-fietds, and s~unted pastures, WIth. tittle pocket-aandI,erchmf patches ?f greed erop; the Bcratchmg ef tbe eartb. which serve. as an excuse fer plouglUl'lg; me'
136
~tarved mongrel race of cattle, unfit either to yield- mi!k or ~ak.e 011 b.e~f; ~he munure heaps exhaling their gases to heaven, and the precIOUS lIqUid. draInIng mto the nearest brook-and all this with a listless desponding people, afraid to take hold of work for fear it will not pay, so much accustomed to the high wages an.d prqfits nf a protected timber trade, that they despise the slow returns and prOSpetl~lVe benefits resulting from the cultivation of the soil, worshiping money as tht' o~e tlung needful, as the only thing to be desired, and ignorant of, and, therefor.e, Incapable of appreciating, the glorious privilege of being independent, of. hllvmg en?ugh! and to spare of those things which are ever the reward of fmgahty and patient mdustry, and of which money is only the represe1;tative. . ... .
Anyone witnessing such a state of thIDgs can h~ve httle hesl~atIOn 10 sayIng, t~at until an .entire change can be brought about, there IS already qUite enough of capital employed in farming for all the good that is done with it.
That these circumstances are not the effects of any inability in the soil te reward the intelligent cultivator, or any other insurmountable barrier to prosperity, is rendered ev~dent by the fact, that the almost universal answer from every part of the Province, to an enquiry which has been recently made, is, "That farmers who have devoted themselves exclusively to their business have invariably accumulated pr(\perty,and, with ordinary prudence and industry, have generally become rich."
Our former remarks regarding ilPproved stock perhaps require further explanation. They have been understood as if we wished to introduce foreign stock to take the place of native, from, it may have been supposed, our foolish preference for things fmm abroad, many alleging, that native cows give as much milk as foreign, thrive better, and are more suited to the country.
Now, be it observed, that we pronounced no opinion as to one breed of cows being better than another; and the reason why we prefer others to the cows of this country is, that there is no distinct breed here, they are all mongrels, or derived from. crosses between cows brought into the country with the first settlers, and others since introduced from all parts of the world.
As such, although there may occasionally be g·ood milkers amongst them, the progeny cannot be calculated npon, and the more especially on account of the carelessness that prevails regarding what bulls are kept-anything in the shape of a bull being reckoned quite good enough. Those making a business of it, and depending on the produce of the dairy for the means of paying a heavy rent, could not afford this playing at farming. With them it would be a matter of life or death. Every cow would have to do its duty, and produce so much, or the rent could not be paid . . There are common cows in Britain as well as in this country. Particular breeds
are thus made .. A ~armer may ?ave in his clairy of twenty cows, say five, that with the same feed Will Yield more milk ancl butter than the others. He is aware that it would pay him better if all his cows were equal to those, and to effect this, he breeds his future stock from them only, taking care that the bull is also from a good milker, it being a rule that" like bege.ls li~e," .ancl killing off any that may not come up to the mark. By caref~l bre.e~lDg. m thiS .'Yay, for many generations, have breeds been formed, possesslflg dlstmcllve quaht18s, colour, and shape-the produce of which retain the characteristics. ,
None of these hreeds are ever crossed for breeding purpo~es, nor are they allowed to be mixed with common stock. Some breeds also bave been made up on account" of their size and fattening propensities. .
There are in England three celehratecl breeds-the Durham, Devon, and Hereford. In Scotland, but one-tbe Ayrsbire. The Galloway Angus and ·West Highland are not used for the dairy. ".
Now, if our farmers choose to take the trouble, and are willina to leave the benefit as a legacy to their cbildren, they may make a breed of th~r own too· the same care and time would produce the same. results. Butfommon sense suggests that it will be cheaper to take the benefit of the labour and care of others. He must b.e a poor farmer, h?wever, who is contented year after year to go on with an infenor race of cows Without selection or an attempt at improvement. '
137
One cause of the prejudice against the imported breed in this country is from bulls only being introduced -into particular districts. The produce of a cross cannot be calculated on, it may take after either parent, or be worthle~s.
No cor~ect Judgment can be formed of the value of any breed unless it is loept p~re: a httle care and attention ~n the beginning is all that is required to effect this; al)d those only who have seen herds of well-bred and well-fed cattle can understand why such prices should be paid for tbem.
In Britllin and the United States, cattle of the improved breeds are valued at more than double the price of the "common kinds, and bulls are orteN sold at from .£20 to .£100. Does any aile suppose that the rent-paying farmer of Britain can afford to do this to gratify a fancy? '
At all the cattle shows in Britain premiums are given only for the above breeds. We observe also that at the last"New-York State Show, at Syracuse, no other breeding cattle were admitted to compete than pure-bred Durham, Devon, Hereford, and Ayrshire. Native catthand grade or crosses were excluded. Our Agricultural Societies may take a hint fi'om tbis. Some of them thi. year excluded all but native cattle from competing!! Our neighbours of the United States have 110 want of national pride; and they rather surpass us in a knowledge of what will pay. We may presume, therefore, that in this they are right and we are wrong. ,
These breeds, however, will be no better than our own, unless they are better treated;_they will not even do so well with the same care, never having been accustomed, like our hardy race, to stand cold and hunger.
If dairying ia meant to pay, cows should be warmly housed from November to frIay, and only out to drink, Jed with turnips and straw or hay in wintel·. In summer they should have for pasture the best hayfield on the farm, which can be afforded to them if turnips and straw are fed, and the manure savet! from the cows being kept in, will raise all the turnips.
"With such treatment the improved breeds will show their.superiority. We trust we will he excused for our want of method in putting together these
hurried remarks. WOe are too much engaged in the active business of life to find. time to round periods and constrnct learned sentences; and, unfortnnately, many, who ought to take the lead, who have most interest in the improvement of the country, " and most sp~re time at their disposal, stand coldly aloof, and afford lIS neither their time, money, nor countenance.
vVe offer no apology for speaking of Provin,eial agriculture generally, we being only a local society.-In pressing danger, no one C'1O be blamed for calling "fire !" l\nil if ever a country needed the ntmost exertions of everyone who can aid in rousing her from a state of almost hopeless asphyxia, this is the one.
vVith oUl' timber nearly exhausted-witbout another article of export, and following a mode of agricult.ure that is fast destroying the ability of the soil to produc~ food-what but poverty and ruin cm1 overtake us !
But we think we can discel'l1 symptoms of better things to come. The pllblic mind is becoming alive to the neeessity for giving that attention and encouragement to agl'icultllre to w hieh its importance entitles it.
'rhe idea is gaining ground, that probably this may he a farming country .after all ! Such beill'" the case, we have full faith in the result, and trnst we shall live to see
prosperity al~d happiness, as the reward of intelligent itldustry, tal<ing the place of our present poverty and c1espomlency.

TIIO~IAS DAVIDSON'S STATEMENT OF TURNIP CROP.
LITTLE RIVER, PCT~BER 16, 1849. "To 1M P resident of the Agricultural Society ..
SIR,-The way in which I'cultivated my field of turnips was thus :-'I'he extent i.'i nine aerG'! ; it is a hillside, and the soil is gravelly loam, naturally poor, And had never been in crop. 'l'he year before laet, I ploughed at in the fall, after pulling the -bU8hes out. In the following spring, I sowed {lats and had a fair crop. After the 'CiUIl were out I drained jt with stone drains three feet deep, I then ploughed it
139
~deep. This Sjlring I ploughed it twice, and put on 45 single horse loads to the acre 'Of weH rotted manure in drills 30 inches apart. I sowed on the top of~the manure 3 cwt. of guano to the acre, then closed the drills and sowed turnip seed, about 51b. :to the acte! from 6th. to 30th June. 'rhe fleas. were numerous, but left enough for a crop~. I tlunned or smgled them to about 10 mches apart, by hand, removing the earth from each plant so that it fell over. Durillg ,the next month I passed throu ",Ii them with the hoe, levelling the drills and destroying all weeds; I ran throuuh the~ twice afterwards with the drill harrow, and to finish, ran a light furrow ~ith the drill plough to carry off the water.' The produce of a square rod in different parts of the field, measured in, a fiour barrel, estimated at 21 bushels, was 8 bushels, which shows a prod\we of 1280 bushels per acre. I have sold about 2000 bushels at Is. 3d. per bushel--'-and what I eannot sell I intend to feed with straw to my dairy COWB, and boiled with chaff to my horses aud pius. I think a bushel of turnips iboiled with chaff will go as far as a bushel of hran, ~Ild at tbat rate would be worth from 9d. to Is. per bushel.
I cannot well estimate the value, however, for feeding, but consider thE'm indispensable. I consider that an acre of turnips would keep five cows through the'wintel', as well as an acre of hay would keep one.
The cost of cultiva tion I consieler to be-For ploughing, &c. £210 0 .. thinning and weeding, 0 12 ()
lifting, - - 0 10 () .. manure, 7 5 0
--1017 G 1200 bushels Turnips, at 9d. 45 0 0
Profit, £34 2 6 -Or, in other words, they stand me in about 2d. per bllshel.My field of Carrots was cultivated in the same manner. It contained two acres-was' sown about the 1st of May with seed prepared as recommended by Mr. Ingledew, and thinned to about fonr inches. '1'he produce is five and a quarter bushels to the rod, or 840 bushels to the acre. I can sell a conslderahle quantity at 2s. 6d, per bushel, the rest I wiU feed to my horses aHd pigs. I am your obedient servant,
THOMAS DAVIDSON.
DR. PETERS' STATEMENT: LANCASTER, October 22d, 1849.
SIR,-My mode of cultivating carrots and turnips is to spread the manure upon the gromrd at the rate of thirty tons to the acre, and plough it in, then harrow well, and run the dcills with a double mould-board plough. My man, with a pair of horses, will plough, harrow, drill and sow an acre in two days with ease, which, at 12s. 6<1. perday,is 25s. I weed chiefly with a drill plough and cultivator. My turnips averaged eight bushels to the square cod. My carr,ots were all housed before Igot your note, so that I cannot say how many bushels I had in a square rod, but the circumference of most of them was froIl! eight to ten inches, and the Belgian were fCOI\1 eighteen inches to two feet long. I always sow Carrots upon potato land, ~nd Turnips upon oat stubble. I sell cacrots at 2s. 6d. and 3s. pel' bushel, and tlll'mps at Is. 3d. to Is. 4d. I think the White Belgian Carrot the most profitable crop that can be put in the ground. I remain your obedient servant,
G. P. PETERS.
STATEMENT OF MR. FREDERICK J. AYERS. COLDBROOK, October 22d, 1849.
To tho Pruident of tho .J.gricu/lural Sod,ty : Snt,-I send'yo!! a certificate of the quantity of turnips to the square rod, which
is oight bushels, or at the rate of 1280 bushels to the acre.
140
I cultivated this season about an acre of turnips. The season bcin:;:- dry and my landlyina hiah it had a very unpromising appearance until 1st September. -Siuce i.he~ tbe' growth has been most rapid. I adopted Mr. Ingledew's mode of culture, as far as thinning and taking the earth from the plant, leaving nothing but the tap root in the gr~und, exc~pt in.a very fe~ ~nstances, to test t~e principle, as laid down by some wnters, hut lU no I1lstance dullt succeed, !he turnIp being much better when the earth was taken from the plant. The land, IS a dark loam with a little marl on a gravelly subsoil, which, two years ago, was broken np from very rough pasture and planted with potatoes. I ploughed it I~st fall, ~n~ four times thi. spring, harrowing well in'a 'day or two a~ter each ploughIng, untd It was very fine. After the third ploughing, I spread 011 eIghteen double loads of I)1anUre, a mixture ,of horse, cow, anel pig dung, and ploughed it in. After harrowing, I mn <Irills twenty-four inches apart, raking them down, and sowing the seed as fast as the d.rills were made. Part. sown on 20th June, and the rest 011 1st July-the last sowing stood the fly best; and some portiou sown on 20th July are as good as any of the field, and have a fine flav6ur. The past season, on account of the drought, has beeh a very unfavourable one for the cultivation of tbe turnip, and I take much pleasure in presenting for competition sqch a crop,-but as good as the yield is, I think it would have been increased materially had I not committed the very common error of leaving the plants too thick, and having the drills too near each other; hnt as'I am only a novice in agriculture, I will not trouble you with more remarks, further than to state that the cultivation of all acre of turnips in this vicinity may be stated at from £12 to £15, and when the crop is properly cultivated, one thousund bushels to the aCI'e is nothing more than an average crop; aud if we put them down at Is. per busbel-and they are seldom solel at so Iowa price-it would lea,-e the profit on an acre at Thirty-five Pounds, I am your ob't. servant,
FREDERICK J; AYERS.
[The above were accompanied by proper certificates.]
Mr. Thomas Dewar, Gardner's Creek, furnishes certificates that he bas raised fj·Oln fifteen acres, 507 bushels of oats. Six acres of buckwheat yielding 143~ bushels, and "1~ acres of potatoes yielding 746 bushels. _
Mr. Robert Bowes furnishes a certificate Ihat he has raised 114 bushels of buck'wheat.
The following is !\Ir. Robert Bowes' statement of his plan of saving manure, to which tbe premium was awuIllecl:-
To tit!; President of the Saint John AgricultU1'ul Society. SIR,-A. yonI' ~ociety bas ofl"ered a Premium til the Farmer who has displayed
tl~e mORt inteJligelle~ and econo.my in saving and making manure. and as t 8m con"meed that upon IhH. depenr!< III a great rneasnre the successful pl'osecutioll of Agriculture in this eOlluty, I am induced to lay before YOll my experience in Ihi< maHer T"'e exhansling prllces. of farming hilherto carried on in this Province. cannol be illlJlI'lll'ed, save by the prodnction ofa larger qnanlity of manure than heretofore. Convinced of this. 1. in the month of July. three years since, hauled .)ut of a bog eIghty cart loads of bog earth to the enr! of the land where I inlended to apply it. mixer! it with eight hogsheads of qnick lime, and let it remain nntil II~e following Spring. when I spread it, bmad·cast. 011 nbont two and a half acre. of Ian?, '~hichhud heen pJr,nghed uoont the time I hallied ont the bog earlh. ' I sowed It WIth Oats, TImothy, and Red Clover, and barrowed it properly. I had a good crop nfOats that year. und an cxcelleut crop of Hay the uextyear. I did lIot. however, like the look oflhe heap; when I tnmod it over, the lime seemed dead and the bog wet and cJoggy, There was about thirteen or fourteen load. of the bog earth left, with wbich I had not sufficient lime to mix, and it laid over wmter. I. determined to Iry how hammannre would do to mix with it. I accordingly put £IX cart loads of the barn m.unure to the bog Bud let it etand for four or five days. w!.len I founu It Jll :l complete slate of fermentatioll. I applied it to a piece of
141
I!ronnd alongside· the other, and I found the crop. to be snperior Oil the latter. T.lle next year, 1 ha~lled aile hundred and se\I.Cnty loads of peat to the field where IIntended to apply ,It, and'to every seven'th load I added one of earth. I tnmed the heap over twic~ i!1 the Slimmer, which 1 found improved it very ~Ilch. As 300n as the frost lelt m the spl"lng, I had the barn mannre admixed. aile load tu two of the pea.t, wi.th the latter finely pul:veri.ed, and thrown loosely in a cum pas! heap, ten. feet In width and five feel III height, shaped thns.6 I then left the heal) to .do for It~elf. 1 thon harrowed the ground, piC'ked off the stone •. and stmck alii dnlls two le"t apart, and left the ground' prap.ared for the'receptioll of the manure. In fOllr days I found the cornpost ill a proper .tate of fermentati(m. (It is necessary to have a few loads of ea~th cOlJvenient, lest the heap would Qverheat, tlJ throw on the ~op two or three IIIches, to prev'>Ilt the escape of the ammonia or gas.) III a few 'days thtl compost packed drrwn ei"ht or ten inche~ into a solid mIlS. of fertilizing mattel·. I ler it sland fur fOllr days, then hauled 'it Ollt on the Idnd, thirty-four single .horse·loads to the acre, "lid covered it up with the plouoh ill the (Hills. 'I put in carrot seed.;' the day /iJUowing, I fouud'the mallUI'e had w"armed the ground, and, notwithstanding the .dry weather, the seed germinated, and ill four days they appeared above the ground. I planted in the same. acre of ground, ~otatoe". carrots, turnips, heets,.cabbnge, and cum, all of which grew abundantly, Which will appear more fnlly in the accompanying certificate. . S", sir, like the Irish bog, there i8 'something very extraordinary in the perit if p,roperly manufac· tured, and I would strongly recommend that in all cases thn peat shollid go through a thorough course of fermenta~ion, und, if possirrle, rre applied to the ground when warm. .It may be alil,ed, why not add Illore earth 10 the heap 1 I all"Wer, il" auld prevent fermentation. The manure that I mixed with the muck was that of .ix cows and two horses, which w: .. evenly mixed through the wiuter in the barnyard. Bllt, .ir.onr /fIrmer. will think very hard to quit th~ir old method, which was to hawl ant their manure and r.pply it to the ground cold, wet, and unmixed. which. ifit never was to be put with a compo.t. it wOllld improve it very milch to tmn it over, and let it stand lor n few day. to warm a little before heillg pllt in the ground. hi Ol)r collI spring weather, care sholllJ rre taken not to put !Illy Ii,me in the sama compost with barn manure, us they never agree: the one is slIre to eat lip the other. It maY be asked also, would lIot quick lime do to mix with peal; and I ihink it would, by preparing the peat the same as above de.cribed, and in the spring, break the li'i1e into smail pieces ~nd pi)t it through the peut till it slacks; then tllrn it over and let it stand four or five days-say, put one load of lime to si" loads of 1ll1lek,-:-thj~, I think, when put OIl the grollnd warm, won,ld be a very good mannre.

The following letter from Mr. Layton, of Richibllcto, to the Society" un the same, subject, is deemed worthy of publication :- ,
RICHIBUCTO, 23d MARCH, 1849.
To ROBERT JARD-Hm, Esq~Gire. President, Saint John Agricultural Society.
SIR-At your last monthly meeting, it was intimated by a resolutioll affixed to the end of your Report, that your Society wl>uld be obJiged by any information from either the practical or theoretical farmer. As one of the former class, I beg to submit the foll<.wing ob"ervations upon the, Baving and increasing" of manure., Your Society, I know. will acknowledge the importance of the ~ubject; and al. though I shall fail in treating of it with that learned knowledge which become5 tbe professor or the lep-turer, nevertheless I trust I shall be able to guide tho farmer "pon principles sufficiently p,hilosophical in the preserving aud gathering his mao nure with success.
Putrefaction proceed,s in all cases hy the elementary principles being: set at Ii. berty, Elither in a vo,latile or fluid state. If a quantity of stable dung be piled in it
heap, whether exposed 0[' no:, it very soon heats, and a coustant stream, of vapour i. emitted, which is as c<>nstantly reducing its weight and volume, and, at the end of six months no-I more tban a fourth of its original bulk will remain for the far. ~er, and this will be a blackislt earth if exposed to tbe weather, a,nd a dry powder lf covered, mostly of caroonaceolls matter, all the o,ther ingredients' (being the best part of the heap) wil~ be J>artly sunk in the earth, and part\'ly blended with the atmosphere, to be carned WIth the winds, and comb.ioed anew!with some liviug vegetable, or to enter into SOllle other compound, but totally lost ~o the farmer; the.\' ma~ be fixed and entangl.e~ in .t~e luxuriaqce of the forest, but they can never enrIch hIS harvest; the nutrIlIve Jlllces may have passed downwa,rd, and enrich. the spot that it covered, but the real Jubstaoce is gone as comple~elv as if COD. sumed b~ fire. • .
PUII'esce~t maoures act upo~ vegetation by being subjected to the putrefective ~rocess: thiS process goes on l~ part by the elementary,principles being set at. hberty, as bef~re stated, .and passmg o.ff 10 gases o~ ~teaIPs. but it mll.!'t UQt be snp. posed that th~lr escape IS necessar~ to decomjl{)stlion, fnr nature has given us means by wblc~ they m~y be apphed to. use. These are chiefly two-water and earth. Water IS the ul11versal solvent, and exerts a wonderful influence on the. ..
143
eeonomy of the vege!nbJe :world:. it is susceptible nf ho-Iding in se-?Iltirm the gltseg or steams, and ·thus hmdermg their escape. One hundred grain., of fl"id will ac(·nally fixar.d relain olle hundred and oin.ety cuuic inches of the gas. Earth. too'. i. anotl!er aboorher of all the gas.e. which arise from a putrefying dung heap. which enr farmer" can prove by plIUHlg a layer of common so·il. from twelve to ei.,.hteel) inches thiclt, on a hea p of dung while i·n a state of fermentation, and ane~wards separate it carefully, and it will be fo-lInd to .conlain the mo"t fertilising qualitics~ the c.ompost heap" which aHract so much attention at Miralllcihi are made valuahle chiefly -by this Ilusorbing power of earth.
A gomd agliclIlturist wonld 110 more all{)w fermentation to be goin!! on in his dunl( heap unmixed wi to earth, sea weed, or something els<l which has-the powerof fi~ing and retaining Ihe gases, than the distiller would all9w his still to be sel to wo·rk without the wo·rrn to cool and condense the spirit which riaes in vapour or steam.
~arth also absorbs the pu-trid gases from wa.ter. Talie that .blaclt, rich liquid· whICh has ~Illl through a ~ullg. heap. and contams so much of Its essence, being sat1l1'ated WILli the gases (of which too much may always be fOlllld abollt ollr barns after rain), and pass the same throllgh a heap of earth of sufficient bulk, and it will nm a stream of clear water.
The abo\'e observations .• I thinlt, conduct to the following conclusions, viz.:; that during the putrefaction of a vegetaule mass, or a common dung heap, the !!ases naturally fly upward and blow away wilh the atlllosphere lItlle.s Ilrrestedthat watcr will absoru them ant:! hold them in s"lution-that the water undergoes a ch:i-nge in colonr and smell-that earth haR also tbe pawer of arresting the gases in theIr ascent,. and of separaling the Hoillb.]e paris from water (which holds them, sllsvellJerl) uy llIeans of filtration. These deductions have been my guide in arrivillg' at the following plan for saving and increflsing mannre ~'--
Let yOUI' barn' and out-house" if IJORsible. be builtin a square (if'thal cannot bedone, fence in a yard at the sontil side of YOllr unrn, which will always be IIseful). leaving an area in the middle, and on: of which never let yonrcattle go dllring the· winler; dig out the area 10 the depth of Ibree feet in· the middle, rising gradually tn the snrfilCe as you come to the buildin!!"s or fence. lnlo this sqllare haul in the· filii, or better in the- snrnmer, a· quantity of earth, peat, sea,weed, sawdust, or any other matter which has the power of absorption, spread.ing it frurn twelve to· ei~hleen inches thick. Illto this convey as mach drainage from. your bams as pos.ible, as well a, the soal\suds and other d·rainage from your house; wlteel in tiH3' dung. heginning at the l'liddle, mixing the dift'erent kinds. and leaving it flat at the" top to encourage the callie to walk about in· it, which, by compression, will oheck fermentation bllt not decomposition, thus p're"enling the waste of ammonia. The· RIlOW and rain falling nn this heap will do. much good, because,. as I ha"e .tated, water has the powcr of fi<xing the !!ases, a-nd although it may. ml1. throngh the heap, it must come in contact with tbe earlll.or p.eat llndernea{h, which, as I have.hewn, wiN- ibsorb the putrid gases from the waler by filtration. In the spring, when the wea·ther gets warm, it will, of cou·rse, ferment, whenthe judicious farmerwill have reooy a pile of eM·th or peat to throw on the top, about twelve or eighteen inches tbid" to fix and retain the gases as they rise.
, The attention which is paid to this part of farming indicates, almost with certainty, the state of ignorance o·r intelligence of the farmer; for whenever we observe a want of exel·tion to· accllmulate. by artificial mean" the aggregate heap bnyond the bare supply from the cattle, no HIrthe! proof is required of the state of' d'ebasemen{ in- which agriculture rests_
I remain, Sir, YOllr very obedient servant, J. G. LA Y';'ON~

The Directors, thiuking it might be of service to obtain the opinion of Mr. Robert Gray, a practical Farmer, recently from Scotland, on various points of husbandry, the following is his reply to their application:
OAK PARK, FREDERICTON, Oct. 24, 1849. To tM President oj the St. John Agricultural Society:
Sir,-In answer to your request to furnish you with my mode of cultivating turnips, my opinion of what kind of cows are be~t adapted for dairy purposes, what rotation of crops I think would be most suitable in this country, and the way in which" Dunlop" cheese is made, I beg to submit the following.
THE CULTIVATION OF TURNIPS.
Land intended for turnips should be ploughed in the fall, especially if it has any portion of clay in its composition. It has thus the benefit of the winter's frost, which renders it friable and easier worked in the Spring. The number of spring ploughing. and harrowings will depend on the nature of the soil, which must be thoroughly pulverised and cleaned, every clod broken, and every weed gathered off.-It is then drilled up into ridges of ftom 26 to 30 inches, according as the land is level and clear of stones or otherwise. Well prepared manure is then put into the drills, and seed sown (at the rate of3lbs. per acre) as soon after as possible.
It is of great importance thn t the operations of drilling, manuring, covering the manure, and sowing, should be carried on in as rapid succession as possible. Seed sown ou the evening of the day that the manure is applied and covered, will vegetate under the most unfavourable circumstances, whilst, if it is delayed for only twelve hours it wilLeither not vegetate at all or so partially and feebly as to render it nseless as a crop.' So soon as the young plants .show their rows distinctly, the grubber or cultivator should be passed between the rows, and the stripe of surface left between its operation and the line. of plants should be tal,en off by the hand hoe. This gives an effectual check to the first growth of weeds, and renders the subsequ!mt weedinrrs eomparatively easy. When the plants have got to some size, and begin to cro;d each other, they should be singled out to a distance of from ten to fourteen inches, according as the crop is likflly to be, a bulky one or otherwise. Moist weather if' the best for this operation, but it should not be delayed more than eight days beyond the proper stage, even though the weather should be unfavourable. While the thinning is going on, the earth should be removed from the roots ,of the planis left, so that only the taproot shall have a hold of the soil. At least one hand hoeing will be necessary after this, and as much cultivation between the rows as there is leisurs for up t~ the time that the plants begin to meet their leaves across the drill, when the drill plough may be passed lightly between the rows so as to fovm a channel for tbe surface water to run off, but without putting any earth up to the bulbs.
MANGOLD WURTZEL.
The cultare of mangold wurtzel is much the same as for tnrnips, only the seed requires to be sown by the htmd. and slightly covered with a rake or shovel. It is
145
chiefly valuable as food for milch cows, as it cloes not, llke tul'nips, ta'sie the milk. In other respects I think it inferior to tUl'l1ips., and being easily damaged by frost\ should not, in my opinioa, be grown to any great extent in this Province.
CARROTS.
Land intended forcarl'Ot~ should have the manure ploughed in in the fall, and by Its. deep ~ furrow as possible. The se.ed should be thor~ugh~y separated, mixed ujl WIth ll101St earth or sand, and placed Jt1 a rather warm SItuatIOn, such as a kitchen, "ncl turn~d over repeatedly for say forty-eigbt hOllrs brfore sowing. This will caus~ the seed to germinate and insure an early braird. The rest of the treatment is similar to that for turnips, only in thinning out the distance between the plants should be from four to six inches.
BREEDS OF CATTLE.
From my experience in the matter, I give a decided preference to Ayrshire cows for the dairy.
I believe they will yield a greater ~luantitJ:' of milk in projJortitin to the food they consume than any other breed. BesIdes thIS, they are docIle and hardy, and will thrive on pasture and with a description of keep when such breeds as the Short Horns woule! starve. They also possess more than average feeding qualities of their own, and when crossed with the Short H am or Durham Bull, the produce is an anitIJ:lI remarkable for early maturity and a di'position to fatten. If proof were wanting of the excellence of the breed, it would be found in the circumstance that they are clll'ried to almost every quarter of the globe. Large droves are every year t.aken to England, and during the last ten years, considerable nnmbers have been ~hipped to the Cape, the Isle of France, to Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, and the United States.
ROTATHiN OF CROPS.
'fhe same rotation will not answer eqtmlly well on all soils and under all circumstances. The one I considm' most generally applicable, and which I have myself adopted, is the fallo\ving.
First year (and when the ground has been broken up from grass) oats or buckwheat; Second year, drilled green crop, properly cleaned and manured; Third year, wheat, barley or other grain, with grass seeds; and fourth, fifth, sixth, and perhap" ~eventh year, gruss made into hay or pastured.
METHOD OF MAKING DUNLOP CHEESE~
'Vhen more than the produce of one milking is used, the old milk must he heated to the same temperature as that newly drawn ii'om the cows, 91' a little above it~ 'Ibis is best done by putting the milk, after takil'lg off the cream, into a tin pan; and that aoain into boiling water. When the milk is properly heated, it is (together with the cream previously drawn off,) and the, new milk, put into a tub and well stirred toaether, and the steep applied. When the milk has coagulated, which will be in abo~t twenty minutes, the whole should be stirred up and thoroughly broken by the hand. In ten minutes afterwar~s !h~ whey shonld be tak~n off, and the .curd pressed against the bottom of the tub, tIll. It .IS firm ella ugh to ~e hfted m~o a dramer; or vessel with a porous bottom, when It IS cnt WIth a kmfe, once m every ten minutes for an hour. It is then p~t i.nto, a cloth, and a pressure apJ?lied to e~p?l the whey more thorouahly. When thIS IS done and the curd gets dry and firm, It IS ,put into a tub and cal'E~funy minced with the curd knife, and salt and a little nitre applied, The curd with a cloth round it, is then put into a chesset, set before the fire for three ho~s and tUl'l1od from time to time to preserve a uniform heat. It is then put in the pres~ and a light pressure applied. At the end of an ??ur the chees~ is turned upside down in the chesset, and a cloth drawn from bOllmg water apphed. At the end of another hour the cloth is again changed, and the cheese is left in the press till the following morning, when it is taken ont, sllghtly heated before the fire, and again returned to the chesset and .the p]'e~s. When the wet cloths have b~en ehanged !L time or two, a dry cloth IS SU~slItuted and a greater J?tessure apJ?lled,

The above cannot be called my methods exactly, but are the modcs/onsldered n\ pcesent in Ayrshirp as the most profitable and advantug.eous.
