MANY alterations and additions have been made in this, the third nnmber of

"'l'HE ATHEN 1EUM ALMANAC," which, it ii· hoped, will b~ considered im-'

provements. It was part of the original design to vary the contents of the Almanac:

from year to year, and at the same time retain such partii as were of permanent

importance; in this way it was believed that the intetest of the work would be'

kept up, while the back numbers, wapld still be of conlilderable value.

Though the Astronomical portion is chieily designed for popular use, every cafe

has beeu taken ta ensure the accuracy of the information which it contains, in ordet

that, in the absence or the Nautical Almllnac, it may.be of' some s'ervice to the As~.

tronomer and Navigator.

All the calculations have. been ad(ipted to " Mean Time," or that which IS shown

hy a well regulated clock. This' differs from" Apparent Time,," or that indicated

by a sun-dial, by what is called the" Equation of Timl'."

The Equation of Time and tlie Sun'/t Declination are given for Greenwich, mean

noon.

The times of the Rising and Setting of the Sun and Moon have been computed

for Saint John,. in latitude 45° 16' N. ; but for ordinary purposes they may be con.

sidered appli~abJ.e to the whole Province.

The Compilers neither eX[7ect no1' seek for profit or remune'mlioll; but it is ob.

vious that the Publishers cannot continue to give so much matter for so small a

price, unless the sale should be considerably more extensive than heretofore.·

LAW OF ECLIPSES. Owing to a remarkable adjustment of the times in which the moon's synodical

'I"~volution, and th!,"t of her nodes are performed, ecHpses re~urn after a certain pe­\flod, very nearly 111 the same order and of the same magmtude. For 223 of too moon'. mean synodi~al revolutions or lunations, as they are called, will be found to occnpy 6585.32 days, and nineteen com.plete synodical revolutiolls of the nodes to occupy 6585.78. The difference in tbe' mean position of the node, then, at the 'beginning and end of 223 Innations, is nea;'ly insensible ,; so that a recurrence of aU eclipses within tbat interval must take place. Accordingly. this period of 223 luna­tions, or eighteen yeaTS and ten days is a very important one in the calculation of <lclipses. It is supposed to havo been known to the Cb.aldeans, the earliest astro-1l0mers, the regular return of eclipses having been lm@wn as a physical fact for ages ilefore their exact theory was understood.

,In eighteen years there are usually about seventy eclipses; twenty-nine of the ftllIDon. forty-one of the sun; Ilr ,nearly as two to three.

Seven is the greatest number of eclipses that can occur in a year, and two the ~ea5t. If there are seven, jive mu.t be of the san, two of the moon. If there be only two, both must be of the sun; for ir. every year there are at least two solar eclipses.

There neller can be more than three lunar eclipses in a year; and in some year" alOne at all.

Though the numh~r of solar eclipses is greater absolutely than of lunar, in the -t"atio of three to two, yet there are more lunar than solar eclipses visible in any lJarticular place; because while a IImar eclipse is visible to an entire bemisphere, a 1lolareclipse is only viiIb'le to a particular part, and sometimes to a very small part.

A lunar eclipse is visible to an entire hemisphere by reason of the larger shadow and greater proximity of the earth, and the consequent larger irmners,ion of the moon in it. shadow, which is far broader than the lunar diameter. A solar eclipse 'S only visible to a particular part, 011 acconnt of the moon's shadow immersing only a very small portion of the earth's surface by reason of the eonijparative smallness <If the moon. The lunar shadow tra\'erses the earth at the rate Dr about 1830 miles an hour.

Central or tcrtal solar eclipses are phenomena rarely obser'Ved; for, although there are about twenty-eight such eclipses in every period of eighteen years, yet the space (tver which anyone of them appears to be central, is but a narrow belt of the

,earth's enlightened hemisphere, in some ea~es scarcely more than a mere mathe­matical line.

Sometimes, through the refracting effect of the earth's atmosphere, the sun and moon are both so elevated, as to be at the same time visible above the horizon du­tini 11 total eclipse of the moon.

'1'i1'Convert Astronomical .Mean Time (as used in the Nautical A'l1nanacy into Mean Civil Time.

If the I;iven hours exceed 12, ·add 1 tl) the number of days give~ for t~ da>: ~f the montb, and the excess of the hours above 12", called A. 1\1.. wlil be the cIVIl lDean time.

If the bours do not exceed 12, reserve the number expressing the days for the· day of the month,. and call the given hours P. M.

Thus March 1 day, 2.1 bours, 20 minutes, astronomical time. means March 2nd. at 9 hours,. 20 miuntes, A. M •• civil time; or 21 boul'S and 20 minutes after the noon of March 1.

DIRECTION'S TO KNOW THE STARS. The following direG:tiollSl are int.ended to point out a simple and practical method;

by which the principal fixed Stars of our hemisphere may be found ,and known by the most inexperrenced eye.

The Polar Star (situatlld in tire tail of the Little Bear, described hereafter) is' easily distingllished by meall,S of a neig):tbouriog constellation called the Great Bear, which is remarkable for havillg four stars of the second magnitude, forming. what is generally called the square of the Great Bear. Ifa line or afC of ,a great circle 'be drawn northward, thvough tbe two outward stars of the'square, called the Pointers, ,it will pass close to the Polar Stal' ,. a.nd within one degree to the Pole itself. T~e Polar Star and Dubhe (tire pointer nearest to it, or near pointer) form. an isosceles triangle with tlw star at the extremity of tbe tail of the Great Bear.

The Great Bear is a constellation in which are several remarkable stars; fonr are of the sec.ond magnitude, forming what is called the square: tbe other three arc in the positipn of an oblique angle, and form the tail. The Great Bear has. served to point out the North Polar Star; and as it is a constellation that does not set in our hemisphere. it will serve to direct us to many other of the constellations>

, for which reason we shall oommence with those that never set at London. Cassiopeia is a constellation di'rectly opposite to the Great Bear with respect to

the North Star, so,that a line drawn from the inmost star in the tail of the Great Bear, by the Polar Star, would pass through the middle of Cas.wpere, on the other side of the Pole. This constellation is furmed by seven stars, most of which am of the second magnitude, in form of a Y,. or rather a chair reversed.

The Little Bear is, a constellatwn of nearly the same form as the Great Bear> it is parallel to it, but in a reversed situation. The Polar Star, at the extremity of the tail, is of the second magnitude; the four following are- smaller, being only of" the fourth magnitude; but the two filllowing of the square are of the third mag­nitude, and are called the Guards of the Liltle Bear; a line drawn through the in­ward stars of the square of the Great Bear will pass. close to them.

Arcturus is the principal star in the constellation Bootes,. and on(> of the first. magnitude; it is about as.dis:ant from the extremity of the tai! of the Great Bear southerly. as that extremIty IS from the farther pointer, and that dist'llnce is about 27°. The two last stars in the tail of the Great Bear form a line which, continued, passes near to Arcturus.

J-yra and Capella. W"hen the constellation of the Great Bear IS, on the meri­dian above the Pole, two bright stars of the first magnitude a~e observable, that on d!e e.a&t siq.e is named .Lyra, 01' the bright stur in the Harp; and that Oil the west Side IS called Capella, In the left shoulder of the Vvaggoner. A lLl1e drawn in the­direction opposite to that of the tai,J, and through the twe northernmost stars in the square of the Great Bear, leads directly to Capella, which is distant about twice 27°, or 54° from the point in the line between thew two northern sttlrs, equidistant from each.

The J)'ragon is a constellation situated on a line drawn throuah the inward stars of the square of the Great Bear> by the g,uards of the Little Bea,r, bel;Y,een L;:c(l.

",hd the Little Bear, where the' four staisin the head -Corn;! il. kind of lozenge, pldi:n to be seen. The tail of ihe Dragon is between the Polar Star and the square of the Great Bear., " , "l •• •

Orion is areil1a:tkahle cOlistellation, fOrmed by th,ree stars of the second magni­,tude, "Situated dose lo each othei' i,il a straight line, the centre of the three ,being eq\tidistarit froriltlie other 'two" a!1d in the centre. bf a large 'quadrilatf;lralfigure f{)rmed by four"stars; two of whICh aTe stars of the first lllagnitude. The three stars iu a straight line, before described, are called Orion's Belt; and by their situ­a:tiolis,'setve to p6intoilt tile Great Dog Star, Sirius, 20° below, and the Pleiades, or Seven Stars, ';i40 above. These hitter are a cluster of small stars ,in the neck of the cimst~lIatioil.ofthe Bull. A. line drawn from Si~ius, through the middle of 'Orion's Belt, will pass somewhat tothe sonthward of them. Immediately below .orion 'sBelt is seen a row of stars called his, Sword, and the nebulous stars of Orion.

Aldebaran is. a Dri~ht star of the first magnitr.de, forming the ~outh eye of the constellation of 'the Bnll. It is situated between Orion and the Pleiades, and about 14° frdl'rl'thelatter. This is one of the stars from which the moon's distance is computed in the NauticaIAlmanac.. '

Procyon orlha Little Dog, is a star of the first magnitude, situated easterly from Orion; it forms, with Sirius and the Belt of Orion, nearly a right-angled tri-~~ , .'

'CastO!' ltIid Pollux (in the 'constellation of the Twins) are two stars of the 'j,jecolin magnitud:e,sihiated 'near each eiiher, in the mid!;lle of the space between .orion and the Grea t Bear; t he northernmost of these is Castor, the southernmost Pollux; ihey are to be distinguished by means of Orion, for a line drawn from Rigel (which is tha brightest star below Orion '8 Belt,~ and is distant three belts 'froin it), by the centre star in the Belt, will pass through Castor. Pollux is one of 1:hilstars from which the moon's distance is comp.uted in the Nautical Almanac. A line' drawn from Rigel through the star named Bellatrix, in, the western shoulder of Orion, leads to a star of the third magnitude, in the tip of the south horn of the Bull; this star is about 14° distant from Bellatrix. The star at the tip Qf the north horn of the Bull is of the £econd maguitude, situated close to the foot of the Wag­goner, on a IiDe drawn throngh Bettelg'euse, the east shoulder of Orion, and the star in the tip of the southern 110m, fmm which it is distant about 8 0

• Between the horns of the Bull the ecliptic line passes.

The Lion is a constellation formed. by a large trapezium, wherein iB observed a star of tire first magnitude, named Regulus, or the Lion's Heart; which is one of the ,stars from which the moon's distance is'computed in the Nautical Almanac. A line drawn from Rigel in Orion, through Procyon or the Little Dog" will Jead to Regu­lus, which is about 37° from Procyon, and about the same distance from the star Pollux. In the tail of the Lion is a star of the second magnitude, to the southward of a line drawn fmm Regulus to Arcturus, at about 24° from Regulus to the east. , :Gancer or the Orab. is a constellation form'ed of many small stars, Bome\vhat difficult to distinguish ;, the nebulre of Cancer are a cluster of stars le;8 visible than the Pleiades; they are situated oli a line drawn from Procyon to the tail of the Great Bear, and abont 20° from th~ former.

The Ram (Jiries), which is the first of the twelve signs of the Zodiac, is formeli principally of two stal'~; one of the second, the other of the third magnitude. 'l'his Constellation is pointed out by the Belt of Orion, which, continued westerly, leads to the principal star in Aries, about 23° to the west of the Pleiades, it is one of the stars from which the moon's distance is computed in the Nautical Almanac.

'I'he middle of the con&telJatioll Perseus is formed by three stars, one of which is of the second magnitude, and. is called Algenib. A line drawn from the North Polar Star to the Pleiades passes through the middle of Perseus; a line draw'n through Rigel and Aldebaran passes through the head of Medusa, which Perseus holds in his hand, iu which is a star of the ,~econd magnitude, named Algol: thil BtUE varies ill brilliancy.

8

'fhe Swan is a remarkable constellation, that assume~ nearly the form or a large cross in which is a briITht star of the second magnitude. A liQe drawn frem the TwU:s throulFh the North Polar Star leads to the Swan on the opposite side o( the Pole, at nearly the same dis~ance on the one side as the Twins are on th~ other,

The sqnare of Pegasus IS formed by four stars of the second magmtude; the northernmost and easternmost star of the square is in the head of Andromeda. A line dra\yn from Rigel through the principal star. in. the Ram, le~ds to the br!ght Btar in the head of Andromeda. The star Algen!b III the extremIty of the wmg, and one or the four stars that form the square, is placed at its sonth-east angle.; the other two are to the westward; the northernmost one is called Scheat, and the southernmost one Markllb: the latter is one of the stars from which the moon'8 distance is computed in the Nautical Almanac: that diagonal of the square of Pegasns formed by the stars Algenib and Scheat, teads near the bright star in the tail of the Swan. Another diagonal line from M"arkab through the head of Andro­meda, passes near the bright star in the centre of Andromeda, and also near the star· at the foot of Andromeda, both of the second magnitude; dividing into three equal parts the space comprehended between the head of Andromeda and theceotre of Perseos.

The constellations which appear in the summer evenings have not 90 many re­markable stars to distinguish them as those that appear in winter; but they may be known by the following directions. About the end of May', towards nine o'clock in the evening, when the middle star in the tail of the Great Bear is on the meridian, abDve the Pole, close to the highest point of the heavens, called the zenith,. tbe bright star in the Virgio, named Spica, is seen on the meridian to the southward, with about 28° of altitude. This is a star of the first magnitude, and Qne from which the moon's distance is computed in the Nautical Almanac. It is situated about 54° east from Regulus, or the I,ion's Heart, with no bright star lIear it, and forms nearly an equilateral triangle with Arcturus in Bootes, and the bright star in the tail of the Lion called Deneb; from the last of which it is distant about 35°. At the same time is seen, ahout 16° westward of Spica, a quadrilateral figure formed by the fDur principal stars in the constellation of the Crow; a line dra wn from Lyra, the bright star in the Harp, through Spica, leads to them.

Hydm. A line drawn through the two stars in the square of the Great Bear, nearest the tail, anU Regulus, leadS! to a star of the second magnitude, called Al­phard, or the Heart of Hydra, at about 23° to the south of Regulus; the Head of Hydra is about 15° to the south of Cancer, or the Crab, between the stars Procyon and Regulus, and about 3° south of a line drawn between those two stars 1 the Hydra extends from the Crab to the sooth of Libra.

Crater, or the Cup. This constellation is situated between the Crow and Alphard.

Lyra., the hright star in the Harp, is of the first magnitude, and one of the most brilliant in the heavens; it fDrms nearly right-angled triangle with Arcturus in Bootes, and the North Polar Star, the right angle being at Lyra. This star just touches the horizon, when on the meridian below the Pole, and is, therefore, one of those st'lrs that never set in the latitude of London.

Corona Borealis, or Northern Crown, is a small constellation near to Arctu­rus, on a line dmwn fro~ Arcturus to Lyra.. ~t is readily distinguished by seven stars that appear nearly In the form of a seon-clrcle; one of these is of the second magnitude, and named Alpheta.

Aquila, or the Eagle, is a constellation that contains a hrio-ht star of tlle second ~nagnit~de,.n:me~ Altair .. Altair is situated abont 34° south'" from Lyra. Altair 13 r~adlly ~lst.mgUlshed, belOg the centre of th~ee stars, forming a right line in a di­rectIOn pomtmg to Lyra: the stars Dn each Side are of the third ma.nitnde and. distant from Altair about 2~ or 3°. Thi .. star iii nearly the same in c~lonr a~ A~ tares, mentioned hereafter.

Scorpio and Antares. A great circle or a line passing eastward through Re­gUlus and Spica, near the ecliptic, passes through the constellation Scorpio, in which is a star of the first magnitude, named Antares. It is situated about 46° east from Spica. It is a remal'kable star of a reddish colour. On enob side of it, about 2° distant, is a star of the third (11' fourth magnitude; forming an obtuse angle with it.

Libra, In the constellation Libra are two stare of the second magnitude, one in each scalp.; the one in tbe northern scale is nearly in a line drawn from Arcturus in Bootes to Antares in the Scorpion; the southern scale is between Spica and Antares, the three being near the ecliptic; Spica at the distance of 21" from the southern scale to the west, and Antares about 25° distant from the same easterly.

Sagittarius is the constellation next to Scorpio eastward, in the ecliptic, on a line continued eastward from Spica through Antares. Sagittarius contains many stars of the third magnitude, forming a figure l·e.embling a bent bow. This constel­lation is situated at about 35° to the south and west of the Eagle.

Ophiucus and Hercules. A liue drawn from Antares northward to the Polar Star crosses a little to the west of the constellations Ophiucus, or the Serpent­Bearer, and Hercules. The stars in these constellations are difficult to distinguish. A line drawn from Antares to Lyra passes close to the head of the Serpent-Bearer, near to which is that of Hercules: in each is a star of the Recond magnitude, situ­ated in a line pointing towards the Northern, Crown: the one that is most to the southward and eastward is in the head of the Serpent-Bearer.

Capricorn us is a constellation situated in the ecliptic, on a line drawn fmm Lyra throngh the Eagle. In this constellation are two stars of the third magnitude, situ­ated on the before-mentioned line.

J[omalhaut, in Piscis Anstralis, or the Southern Fish, is n star of the first mngni­tnde, auQ, one from which the moon's distHnce is cOlllputed in the Nautical Alma­nac. It is situated nearly in a line drawn through Scheat and lI1arkab to the South. It is a bright star, but its altitude in northern latitudes is very small.

The Dolphin i:l a small constellation, situated about 15° to the e~st of the Eagle, formed by a lozenge of four stars of the third magnitude.

The constellation .I1quarius, 01' the TValer-BeareT, one of the signs of the Zo­diac, is distinguished by a line drawn from the bright star Lyra tlll'ough the Dolphin. A line drawn from the Dolphin to Fomalhaut passes between two stars of the third magnitude in the shoulders of Aquarius. "

Oetus, or the Whale, is a large constellation situated to the south of Aries, or the Ram, below the space between the Pleiades and the square of Pegasus. A line joining the centre star in Andl'omed~, nnd the brightest star in the head of the the Ram, lead" to a star in the moutb of the Whale, at ahout 25" south-easterly from the horns of the Ram: thi" is a star of the seconi! magnitude.

Pisces, or the Fishes, is the twelrLh sign of the Zodiac. It is composed of stars the least remarkahle of any in the heavens; OrtP. of them is situated to the south of the sqllare of Pegasus; the other is situated more northerly and eas~erly, betw~en the head Gf Andromeda ani! the Ram. The stur in the knot of the Ime that unttes ele two fishes is of the third magnitude, and is the most remarkable of the constel­lation; ,it is situated about 100 to the west of a line drawn southerly through Alge­nib and Algol, and about .,10° west of Aldebaran.

HaVing given directions for finding the principal constellations, with the most re­markable stars that a ppear in OUl' hemisphere, it is unnecessary to co,nlinue. ~ par­ticular description further. It will be sufficient simply to point out the P?S!tlon of the other inferiOl' constellations. Thus, Lepus, or the Hare, is a constellatIOn althe t'ootof Orion.

INFLUENCE OF THE MOON ON THE WEATHER.

Though the aurface of the full Moon exposed t~ us, innst ne~e.ssatily be very much heated,-possibly to a degree much exceedlllg th.t of boding water,~yet we feel no heat from it, and even in the focus of lurg£l reflectors, it fails to affect the thermometer. No doubt, therefore, its heat (conformably to what is observed of that of bodies heated below the point of luminosity,) is much more readilyab­sorbed in traversing transparent media than direct solar heat, and is extinguished in the Ilpper regions of our atmosphere, never reaching the surface of the earth at all. Some probability is given to this by the tendency to disappwrance ,of clouds under the full ?noon, a meteorological fact, (for as such we think it fully enti­tled to rank,) for which it is necessary to seek a cause, and for which no other rational 8rtplanation seem. to offer. A" for any other influence of the Moon on the vve:lther, we have no decisive evidence in its favor.-He1'Schel.

METHOD OF SETTING SUN-DIALS.

~~or the use of those who may be desirous of fixing or rectifying a sun-dial, the following method of accomplishing this object is ~ppended, which only requires the use of a good watch that will keep time for six hours. Care mu.t be taken, iu the firs~ place, .tha~ the .pillar on which the dial is to be placed is perpendicular to the hom;on, wInch IS eaSIly proved by the plumb-line. Then ascertain, by means of the sririt-Ievel, th"t the npper surface is perfectly horizontal ;-and if so, screw on the plate lo?sely by m:ans. of the centre ~crew, and bring the gnomon as nearly as P?sslble .to Its, prope~ dIrectIOn .. On a bright d,,;y, set the j.vatch exactly with the dlul at mile 0 clock III the mormng, nnel at three III the afternoon observe the differ­'ence between them, and correct the dial to half the difference. Proceed in the Bame manne~ till the .wat?h antt dial a~e fo~nd to agree perfectly. Then fix the plate firmly III that SItuatIOn, and the dial WIll be correctly set. This is obvious; for, If tbere were any defects, the Sun's shadow woulelnot agree with the time indi­cated by the watch, both before and after he p1ssed the meridian. Take care, however, ~o allow for .the eqnation of tim.e, ~r you may set tbe dial 16 minutes wron~. 'lhe be.t day III the year to oet a dIal IS the 15th of June, as there is no equatlOll to al!ow for, and no error can arise from change of declination. A dial ~a)' be set WIthout a watch, by drawing a cirel.e rou.nd the centre, and mark,ing tile spot where the top of th.e sh~dow of an upright pID or piece of wire, placed in tbe centre, Just touches tbe CIrcle m the morning, and again in the afternoon. A line ghould be drawn from one spot to the other, and exactly bisected· then a line ~rn \Vn from. the centre of the dial through that bisection will be a t;ue meridian Ime, on which the XII hours' mark should stand.

AGRICULTURE FOR 'l'HE MONTH.

The first and mo~t important thing for the farmer in this month is to attend to his horses, cattle and swine. Let them be honsed at night and in stormy weather. Seo that the stables are cleaned, the yards dry and well littered, the sheds warm and yet well ventilated. If hay is scarce, and labor is cheaper than fodder, it may be cut and mixed with chopped stl'aW, corn-stalks, meal, bran, grain or roots; take care, at. all 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 sllfficient snow, haul home wood for fuel a nd fences. Logs may be taken to the mill and made into boards for future use. Repair your tools, vehicles and implements, when obliged to stay in-doors. Thrash grain,. clean seeds, and take farm produce to market. Take oats to mill. 'rake every opportunity of chopping and preparing new land for a crop. This is also a good time for breaking steers and colts, and for making tenons and mortices in fence stuff..

ASTRONOMY FOR THE ~lONTH. On the sixth' of this month the planet Mercury attains its greatest elongation from the'

Sun. It is then 190 9' E., in the constellation Capricornus, and Cl"Osses the meridiau at lb. 27.5m. afternoon, and continues un evening star till tbe 22d, when it passes to the' West of the Sun. It is so small, and being nearer the Suu than any of the other plan­ets, is so much lost in the splendor of the solar rays, that it is seldom seen, and tbe telescope affords as little information of its actual condition. Its real diameter is about '3220 miles: its apparent diameter varies from 5/1 to 12/1 according to its distance from 'the earth. The velocity with which it moves in it~ orbit round the Sun is 109360

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.

,Continue to atteni to the stock: remember that by keeping animals warm, you econo­mise the food which would otherwise be applied to sustain the heat of the body. Curry the cattle and horses. Lice, which accumulate on over-crowded cattle, may now be destroyed by tobacco-juice, snuff, lard, fish-oil or soft soap. Hens will lay all winter ir their houses be impervious to cold winds, .and if with their grain they receive a supply of gravel and old mortar. Continue the hauling of fuel nnd fencing-stuff; cut up as much of the former as possible, and pile it away under cover for summer use: this seems novel, but the farmer will uuderstand, though the lumberman may Dot. Finish the thrashing of grain, and stow it away beyond the reach of rat, mouse or weevil. Prepare for making maple sugar. Take advantage of this season for hanling peat, swamp-muck, sea, river or pond mud, for maIling composts of.

On the 25th or this month the planet Venus attains its greatest elongation from the Sun, being then 46° 42' W., in the constel.lation Sagittarius. On that day it crosses tbe meridianat 9h. 4.2m. A. M., and is co.nsequently a morning stuf, and continues so until the lIth of Octoher. It is easily distinguished from all the. other planets by itg brilliant and. white appearance; but altl10ugh its a ppatent diameter is sometimes as great as 61", it is the most difficult of them all to define. with telescopes. The intense lustre· of its illuminated part dazzles the sight, and exaggerates every imperfection of tbe teles. cope; yet we see clearly that its sllrface is not mottled over with permanent spots like the moon; we notice in it neither mountains nor !hadows, but a uniform brightness, in which sometimes we may indeed fancy brighter or obscurer portions, but can seldom or never rest fully satisfied of the fact.

Make maple sugar. No trees of less than twelve or eighteen inches diameter ought to be tapped: they should he bored with an inch auger; all the vessels used should be per­fectly clean; the sap should be first strained and reduced by boiling nineteen-twentieths "f its bulk, then clarified by white of egg, boiled and strained again; boil again, and then pour it into pans till it grains; after this, dry it by placing it in wooden drains filled with gimlet holes. Look well to the caule, and give those with young an extra feed or mash occasionally. Manure may be hauled from town or elsewhere. Take every opportunity of hauling wood, and of carting manure to the fields. I.et the yards be cleaned at regu­lar times and new littered. Early lambs for market should appear in March, but very great care is req uirec\ to preserve them.

ASTRONOMY FOR THE MONTH.

w. S. N. W. S.W.

17

On the' morning of the 21st of this month, the Sun advancing northward arrives at that point of the Ecliptic when it is intersected by the equinoctial, when Spring is said to commence. His motion in the Eciiptic, or change of longitude in twenty-four mean and solar hours, averages 59' 8" 33; but about the 31st of December it amounts to 61' 9" 9, about the first of July is only 57' 11" 5. Such are the extreme limits, and such the mean value of the sun's apparant angular velocity iu his annual orbit. This variation is ac­companied with a corresponding change of his distance from us; and it appears from alterations in his apparent diameter that his greate.t, mean, and least distances are as the numbers 1,01679, 1.00000, and 0.98321 respectively; and that his apparent angular velocity diminishes as the square of the distance increases, and vice versa.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.

The farm should be plotted and each field assigned its crop for the year .. Manure should be all got out while the hauling is good. The cattle shonld not be allowed II}

wander on the road, fields or meadows, which does no good to themselveg and much injury to the Jand. Let the drains be overhauled and cleared ont. Continue the cntting, !plitting and piling of wood. Prune and remove dead limbs and branches of fruit trees, bushes and !fhruba. Scrape off moss from apple trees, and cut off black knobs on the plum trees. All kinds of fruit and forest trees may now be safely traDi!lplanted. Trans. planting must always be done befora the leaves are Ollt or after they bave fallen; if a tree is covered with leaves when it is tran.planted, 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 absorb water from the soil. Break up the garden and sow the early vegetable~. Commence pluughing in dry situations and on sad land a~ soon as the frost will allow.

ASTRONOMY FOR THE MONTH. The Moon.-The physical constitution of the Moon is better known to us than that of

any other heavenly body. By the aid of telescopes we discover inequalities in her sur­faee which can be no other than mountaius and valleys. She has no clouds nor any other decisive indications of an atmosphere, alid on this account it seems impossible that any form of life, analagous to those on earth, can subsist there. No appearance indica­ting vegetation, or the slightest variation of surface fairly ascribable to change of season, can any where be discerned. A circle of one second in diameter, as seen from the earth, on the surface of the Moon, contains about a square mile. Telescopes, therefore, must yet be greatly improved, before we could expect to see signs of inhabitants, as manifestedi by edifices or by changes on the surface of the soil.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.

Set about ploughing the land. Early spring plonghing is the beet lor sad land, as the frost both pulverizes it and kiils the weeds. Sow grass and plant the root crops. Steep and sow the grain crops. Corn Inay be sown after the grain crops and clover. Turn utlt the sheep and cattle, but not before the land is tolerably dry and the young grass has tIppeared. Cart out the remainder of the manure, and clear up the farm-yards. Man­ure 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 meadow bnds may he top-dressed with compost, gypsum or other manure. l\lark spots for future drainage. Eeets, mungold-wurtzel, and Swedes may be sown with advantage after the otnor crops. Peas, beans, onions, turnips, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, radishes and spinach may be sown ill garden and fields. C"bbages, cucnmbers, cauliflower, lettuce,. radishes, tomatoes and peppers may be planted out. Hedges ano shrubs may be trimmed.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.

Finish sowing and planting. The seed-end of potatoes, cut rather dep,p, will yield the best crop. Ruta-bagas, 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 crops seem to fail. Hoe, Or set the cultivator going among the corn and root crops. Weed the garden, the grain and root crops, otherwise it w.e fifty times more troublesome later in the season and next year. Weedy fields may be ploughed for summer fallow. Bnckwheat land ought to be prepared. The earlier the chopped land can be well burnt the better. Prune, trim and transplant trees. After transplanting, the soil should be rendered mellow and rich by mucking in for a considerable distance around; choose a moist or rainy day for the -operation. Remove or destroy insects, lice and caterpillars on fruit-trees. Plant out cabbages. Transplant wild plants, bringing with them a portion of the natural soil.

M6!TS.-This planet is readily distingnished in the heavens by its dusky red appear­ance. On the morning of the sixth it rises at 4h. 15m., and is then between and very near Saturn and Uranus in the constellation Aries. It is a morning star throughout the year. In it we frequently discern with perfect distinctness, the outlines of what may be continents and seas. Brilliant white spots which appear at its poles, <have been con­sidered, with some probability, to be snow; as they disappear when they have been long exposed to the sun, and are greatest when just emerging from the long night of their polar winter. Its greatest and least apparent diameters are 4" and 18," and its real diameter about 4100 miles.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.

Hoe and weed corn, potatoes and all other crops; run the cultivator through them when the opportunity offers. Buckwheat and even turnips may be sown as late as July. Make early preparation for harvesting; repair barns, vehicles and tools. Get the best tools in the market: a man may earn the extra cost of a good scythe or ci'adle in a single day's work. Procure a horse rake; by means of which one man with a steady horse can do the worl, of seven or eight men. Clover should be cut while it is in full bloom. Timothy and red-top do not ripen till a fortnight after clover: they should be cut while the seed is in full milk, and before it is so ripe as to shake out when handled. "Weed~

should be cut down or rooted out before seeding; transplant cabbages and turnips in field or garden; gather flowering herbs, and dry quickly in the sun.

ASTRONOMY FOR THE MONTH .

. Eclipses-During this month there are two eclipse~, hath of which are visible in New Brunswick As in this case, an eclipse of thE> Moon is not unfrequently followed, at the next new Moon, by one of tbe Sun. This is farther exemplified, in the present year, by the two eclipses which occur in January. Eclipses of the Moon being caused by the Earth intercepting the rays of the Sun and thereby casting a shadow on the Moon, can only happen at or near full Moon. On the other hand the Sun can be eclipsed only at or near new Moon. Owing to the size of the Earth, the cone of its shadow always projects far beyond the Moon; but the Moon being comparatively small, the extremity of its shadow does not always reach the surface of the Earth, and never covers more than a few miles in breadth.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH. Finish hoeing and weeding, and prepare for gmin 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 ollly is the flour better, but there is mnch less top and waste in harvest­ing the crop. Lowland hay may be cut and made intt> stacks. If there is time it is much better, at once, to get the low meadow hay heyond the reach of the river rather than to wait till winter. Make drains where reqnired; gather seed and herhs; destroy weeds wherever they are to be seen; remove balls from potato vines if thonght necessary. Fall wheat may be sowed. If grain harvest be finished, fall ploughing for next season may be begun. A good farmer will be ploughing all summer long. Don't burn too soon or the trouble will be greatly increased. Great care should always be tal,en to extin­guish fires on new land; besides the real danger tu all parties, the penalty, on conviction, for not doing S9 is £3.

.Rsteroids.-These small planets cannot be discerned without the aid of the telescope. Within the first six years of the present century four of them were discovered, and since 1845 the number has been increased to eleven. It is remarkable that this important ad­dition to the solar system had been in some sort surmised as a thing not unlikely, on the ground that the interval between the orbit of Mars and that of Jupiter was much greater than wonld be inferred from the distances which separated the other planets. They are so minute that nothing has been ascertained' respecting their physical condition. None of them, except Vesta and Pallas, have hitherto been observed to possess sensible discs, and those only with high magnifying powers. On the iast of the month Vesta crosses the meridian at 6h. 20m. P.M. and Pallas at 4h. 55m. A.M.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTI-I. Carryon the harvesting of grain, corn and root crops. Neglect not f,,11 ploughing for

u single day. Draining ought to begone on with: let the drains be from 30 to 36 inches in depth, and placed about 20 feet apart. Grain may now be field thrashed. Do not take np potatoes until the vines have been killed by the frost, and are perfectly dry; keep them from sun and wet, and allow them to dry lJefol'e housing; let them be stored away in barrels or binns well protected from air. Early apples may be gathered by hand, wiped, and pnt away into biuns or barrels, taking care not to brnise them: they should be kept in a dry, cool cellar, 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 mc.ntb. N. E. farmers generally sow grass seeds (not clover) as early as possible after the summer crop. This is, lil,e. wise, a good time for the cow 1.0 go to the bull. Rams, again, should be removed from the sheep until the eud of November or December.

ASTRONOMY FOR TI-IE MONTH.

Ju,piter-This is the largest and most magnificent of all the Planets, its absolute dia­meter being no less than 87 ,000 mile~. Its apparent diameter varies from 30" to 46." It. is, moreover, dignified by the attendauce of four moons; and thus presents a beautiful miniature of the solar system. These Satellite. were discovered by Galileo, and were among the first fruits of the invention of the 'l'elescope. The first astronomical soilltion of the great problem of "the longitud~" dates immediately !i'om their discovery; am! bv examining their erJipses, Bradley determined the aberration of light, and consequently ascerta ined the enormous velocity of that wonderful element. Jupiter is further remark­able by having its disc crussed by dark bands or belts, which are observed to vary in hreadth and situation, though never in their general direction. It has been an evening star since the begmning 'of the year and continues so until the 23c1 of next month.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.

Continue draining, fall plonghing, and securing corn and root crops. When 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 put a layer of straw over them; 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; these should be closed with a wisp of straw, and opened occasionally to permit the access of fresh air. If the soil of the field is a wet clay, a ditch ought to be dug round the spot where the roots are to be laid. Turnips may be either stored in a root hous@, or in pits three feet in breadth, and covered with straw and earth as above. Cull out the choicest animals for breeding and for use; sell or fatten the remainder. Trees may be set out for the ensuing spring as SOOn as the leaves have fallen, and the buds are fully formed. Small seedlings, however, are best transplanted in the spring. Fruit trees may now be propagated by layers or cuttings.

In

Saturn.-'l'his planet presents a more wonderful and beautiful appearance than any ~ther member o~ t~e Solar system. Besides being attended by no less than eight satel. htes, or moons, It IS encompassed with two broad, flat, extremely thin rings, concentric with the planet and with each other. The satellites of Saturn have been much less studied than those of Jupiter, being far more difficult to observe. The discovery of the eighth is quite recent (Sept. 19, 1848,) having, by a remarkable coincidence, been made on the Bame night by Prof. Bond, of Cambridge, U. S., and Mr. LasseU of Liverpool. During this month it is favorably situated for observation, crossing the meridian at mid. night on the 21st. It is then between the constellation Aries and Cetus. On the 11th it is in cenjunction with the Moon, and on the 24th in opposition to the Sun.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH.

Preparations must now be made ror a long anli severe winter. The summer verucles and implemp-nts 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, .heep or hogs. The farmer should walk about daily with a hammer and pocket full of nails, patching and repairing the barns and sheds where they reqnire it. The yard should be well bedded with turf, peat, muck, slraw, sawdust, weeds, or other vegetable matters, at the same time they should be .0 constructed that the soluble parts of the manure, which are the best, shall not be lost. Fini.h digging and storing of roots and the fall ploughing. One good ploughing of clay land in the fall is worth ~wo or three in the spring. Husk the corn: malle cider: examine and make cuts for the drainage of sur. face water: underground drains are preferable to surface cuts. The children saould 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.

Uranus.-This planet was observed by Sir Wm. Herschel, March 13, 1781. It can ouly be seen with the assistance of the telescope, and generally appears of a bluish white colour. It presents a ronnd uniformly illuminated disc, without rings, belts, or dis­cernible spots. Its apparent diameter is about 4/1, from which it never varies much owing to the smallness of our orbit in comparison with its own. Its real diameter, is about 35,000 miles, and its bulk therefore 82 times that of the earth. It is attended'by satellites-four at least, probably five or six-whose orbits offer remarkable peculiarities. Of these satellites, which require very powerful and perfect telescopes for their observa­tion, two are much more conspicuous than the rest. Uranus is in conjunction with the Moon on the 7th. Towards the eud of the month it is favorably situated for observation, and will be found in the barren field betwAen the constellations Aries and Pisces.

AGRICULTURE FOR THE MONTH. Stocks now require increased attention: they should be stall-fed for the winter, if

possible, or put up in yard with a warm aspect, and with sheds attached, whereto they can resort in stormy seasons: they should be supplied with plenty of water and salt, and fed abont three" times every day, and curried regularly. The sow may be taken to the hoar in the month, and the ram allowed to return to the flock again. Let the farmer keep out of the woods, for farming is not a branch of lumbering, nor are active lnmber­ers likely to make thrifty husbandmen. Once for all, let the farmer forewear the woods. He may now thrash grain, and take his produce to market; the good wife ought to have her quota ready of cheese, butter, fowls, hams, sausages, mittens, socks, cloth, wool, Clnd 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 retums nnder each method ought to be recorded by measure and weight. The crops for each field ought to be arranged not only for the ensuing summer, but for seve­ral years in advance: let there always be a systematic rotatiol1 of crops on the farm: let everyone take in and ~tudy an agricultural periodical, and strive to combine science with practice-practice with science.

Neptune.-The discovery of Neptune marks in a signal manner the maturity of as­tronomical science. It was first detected by Dr. Galle of Berlin, Sept. 23d, 1846, in the very spot indicatecl by the independent theoretical researches of Leverrier and Adams, who suspected certain small irregularities observed in the motions of Uranus to be due to ,the disturbing action of an exterior planet. Hitberto, the situation of Neptune in the ecliptic has been so little favorable for seeing it with perfect distinctness, that nothing very positive can be stated as to its physical appearance. Its diameter is about 42,000 miles. '1'0 two observers it has afforded strong suspicion of being surronnded with a ring very highly inclined. And from the observations of Mr. Laasel, lVI. Otto Struve, and Prof. Bond, it appears to be attended by one, and very probably by two satellites-though tbe -existence of the second can hardly yet be considered as qnite demonstrated.

LIGHT HOUSES.

Board if Commissioners for the several Light Houses in the .Bay if Fu.ndy, ~Robert W. Crookshank, John Ward, I. Woodward, John Wilson, EsqUIres" Han. W. F. W. Owen, Lieutenant Charles Hare, R. N., and John James Robin­son, Esqnire, R. N.

Isaac Woodward, Esq., Surveyor of those Light Ho~ses in the Bay o~ Fun~y, belonging to New-Brunswick, and also of those belongmg to Nova-Scotia, whlCh are partly sllpported by this Province.

Cape Sable Seal Island Light.-'l'he first Light on approaching the Bay of Fundy is on the South Po.int of Seal Island. This is a plain. White Ligh.t, elevated about eigbty feet above high water mark, and may be seen In approachmg the Is­land from any point of the Compass. A very dangerous Rock, uuder water, but upon wbich the sea always breaks, called BLONDE ROCK, lies 3!; miles S. by W. 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, ouglH not to attempt passing between them.

Brier Island Light.-In advancing up the Bay, the next Light is situated on Brier Island, about half a mile N. E. from the N. W. 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 indented; the Light is, therefore, chiefly intended as a guide into Digby Basin.-A White Light.

Gannet Rock 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 minute. The Light House is painted in stripes, vertical, black and white.

REARINGS AND DISTANCES BY COMPASS FROM THE GANNET ROCK LIGHT HOUSE:

This Light bears from the Light House on Brier Island N.N.W. ~ W. 22 miles. From the Gannet Rock to the Old Proprietor, E. Q S. distance 7 miles. From the Gannet Rock to the Black Rock offWbite Head Island, N.E.1 E. 7 miles. From the Gannet Rock to the South West I-lead of Grand Manan, N.N.W. 64 miles. From the Gannet Rock to the Northernmost of the Murr Ledges, N.W. ~ N. 2~miles. 'fa the Southernmost of ditto, called St. Mary's Ledge, W. S. W. 2 miles. From the Gannet Rock to Machias Seal Island, W. and by N. ~ N. 12~ miles.

Between the Northernmost .and Southernmost of thA Murr Ledges, there is a range of dangerous rocks and shoals, many of them always above water, and which extend Westward from the Lighthouse about four miles; from this range, fartber ,;Vesterly, about six miles from the Gannet 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 (0 the Old Proprietor, N. and hy W. i W. 18J miles.

The Blonde Rock from the Southernmost point of Cape Sahle Seal Islands, S. and by W. 3;) miles distant.

JlI~chias Seal Island Lights.-There are two fixed WHITE lights upon the MachiaS Seal Islands, elevated about 45 feet above high water, and bearing from each o(h~r E. S. E. and W. N. W. distant about 200 feet, by wbich circumstance of two LIght Houses at the same station, they will be immediately distinguished

39

fro.m all ()t~er lights upon t~e coast, Britis~ or American. Both the buildings are pamted white. The foHowmg are the bearmgs, by Compass, from them, viz. :_

To the Southernmost Murr Ledge (St. Mary's) E. S. E. easterly. " Gannet Rock Light, E. by S. ! S. 13 miles. " Southern Head of Grand Manan, E. by N. ~ N.

" Northern Head of Grand Manan, N. E. ~ E. North-East Rock, distant 2 mil6ls, N. E. by N. Little River Head, N. by W. Libby Island Lighthouse (American), 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 I he E. of the Lights.

[It is recommended that the Ship's Compasses should be well compared and ad­justed (particularly in new ships), before tbey leave Partridge Island, as serious errors have frequently occurred from want of attention on this point: and as the variation in lbe Bay of Fundy is seventeen degrees Westerly (or lk points), it will be found by the latest publisbed Admiralty charts, '" that the course "from Partridge Island down the Bay, South Channel, between the Old Proprietor and N. W. Ledge, is S. W. ~ S., bnt the conrse to be steered mnst depend on the direction of the wind on leaving Partridge Island.]

Head Harbour Light.-N ext iu order, after pas.iog Grand Manan, and the plaiu white Light (Amer:can) on West Quoddy Point is Head Harbour Light. 'l'his is placed on the North-East extl'emity of Campo Bello, and is a guide to vessels enter­ing the main channel to West Isles, Moose Island, and the Inner Bay of Passama­quoddy; it enables vessels also, at all times, to enter Head Harbour. It is a fixed white Light. The building is painted white, with a red cross on it.

Point Le Preau Lights.-U pon this projecting head-land two Lights are placed, one above the other in the same house, and distant twenty-eight feet. Both Lights can be seen from every point of the Compass where they may be useful-both are fixed and white. 'The Light House is painted red and white, in stripes five feet broad each, horizontally.

Partridge Island Light.-This Light, at tbe entrance of the Riv~r and Har­bour of Saint John, having been established above fifty years, requires no particu­lar notice, further than that it is a fixed while Light, and the Light House is painted red and white in vertieal stripes. The Light was enlarged in November, 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 Tower. Upon this Tower a Light is established, which is emi­nently useful to the coasting trade of St. John, and to all other vessels having pilots on board, as it enables them to enter the Harbonr at all hours of the night. A fixed white Light. The House is painted white and black, in stripes vertically.

Quaco Light.-A revolving white Ligbt is placed on a small rock off Quaco Head, shewing twice full and twice dark in a minute. The Light can be scen from any quarter where a vessel can approach. Tbe Light House is painted white and red in horizontal stripes.

Cape Enrage Light- On the Point 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.

TIME FOR GOING THROUGH THE FALLS,

NEAR THE CI'l'Y OF SAINT JOHN.

'l'he Falls are level, or it is still water at about three and a half hours on the /lood, and about two \md a half on the ebb, so that they are passable fonr times in twenty-four hours, abQut ten or fifteen minutes at each time. No other rule can be given, as much depends on the floods in tbe River St. John, and the time of high water or full sea, which.is often hastened hy high Southerly winds. For a few days iu the spring of the year, the height of water in the River Saint John renders. the passage of the Falls extremely difficult.

MEDICAL HINTS IN EMERGENCIES.

'rhe characteristic of modern medicine is simplicity j it is now well understood' that Natur~ perfor~s the cure, while the Physician ~nd Surgeon only stand bye to' lee t.hat ~he gets Fair play, or does not overdo the thIDg. The long arr"yofcurious speCifics IS now discarded, and the farrago of salves, washes, and medicated poul­tices, are in great part replaced by plain water, warm or colJ, as the case may be. This is grently to the advantage of the Patient, and is no great loss to the Medical attendant, for his services are still sufficiently in demo nd, and his duties sufficiently onerous; nor to the Druggist (wrongly styled Chemist), for mankind have an in­stinctive .. elish for ill-smelling draughts and greasy unguents, and refuse to get well without the old-fashioned allowance. If the legitimate practitioner should venture to prescribe a simple or known remedy, the patient straightway flies to the un­known and mysterious elixir, pill or potion, of an Empiric, who generally is a Runa­way druggist'S boy, and has managed to purloin the doctor's hat and cane us he was passing through the shop.

We would beg, therefore, that the following hints may not be disregarded, by any sensible person, on account of their brevity and apparent simplicity, for, as the French millinen say, "La simplicite est charmaote, mais-it sn'y-a rien de si difficile."

We would also caution the public against unnecessarily doctoring, or, as it is usnally styled, quae/ring one's self or family j if he who pleads his own cause i~ said to have a fool for his client, so he who treats his own case may fairly take it fer granted th,lt his patient is deficient in understanding.

Poison·ing.-The object here must always be to empty the stomach as soon 8S

possible by the stomach pump, or by a dose of 20 grains of white vitriol, or by one or two teaspoonsful of alum, and immediately afterwards to administer the appro­priate antidotes: if the poison has produced great depre8sion, stimulants must be combined with the latter, but if there be marks of inflammation, cold and blood­letting are indicated.

Strong .licids are best counteracted by the free use of magnesia, soda, chalk or even solution (,f soap, with abundance of ieed cold water.

Prussic .lidd may be counteracted by hartshorn water, nnd dashing cold water on the hend and spine, keeping the patient constantly moving about in cool air.

Potash Soda and .limmonia may be counteracted by vinegar, lemon juice, and tartaric acid, 01' by sweet, linseed, or castor oil.

.lilcohol: powerfu1 emetics, large glysters of salt and water, cold wet clothes to the head, movement, and either bloodlettmg or stimulants according as tbe counte-nance i. flushed 01' pale. , ' "

Foul.!lir, Choke Damp, ~'c, : Cold effUSIOns to the head, bloodiettlllg, artlfioUll respiration.

Tartar E:netic: Infusions of nut galls, hemlock bark, oak bark, jesuits bark, or green tea .

.!lrseilic: Di~zolve 10 grains of green vitriol io half a pint of water, and add 10 grains of c~rbonale of sod:! previously dissolved in half that quantity of water, pour off' most of the clear liquid, and let the patient swallow the remllinder, and this may be repeated two or three times if necessary. Leeches. and blisters to the pit of the stomach, and ice taken inwardly, wiII tend to al~ay pam .. , '

Blue Vitriol, Verdigris, ~c.: The best antidote for pOisons contuullng copper IS

milk and the white of eggs. . Green Vitriol and TVhite Vitriol may be rendered harmless by the ndmmls­

tration of earbondte of soda in solution. Sugax of Lead, ~·c.: Puisoning by lead is best relieved by copious drallghLs of

epsom salts dissolved in water, or by sulphuric acid and le~)Ollade. , COI'rosive Sublilnaie, 8;c.: White of eggs beaten up wllh water, nlllk or wheat

flour beaten up'in the same way. L:!J!ar Oew-stic may b2 quite neutralized by solution of common table salt.

106

Powdered G-lasg: Large quantities of bread crumb, to be followed by an emetic, gum water, &c. . . .

Opium, ~c. : Vegetable narcotIc pOIsons mnst be treated by frequent e~el1cs, pur­gatives, and large glysters of soap, or salt and water. Hot coffe~, and vmegar and water may be used after the stomach has been completely emptlrd, but 1I0t before. Should there be much drowsiness, the patient must be kept moving at all hazards.

Venemous Insects: Hartshorn and oil applied by a rag, or a little laudanum; the sting of a wasp may be generally removed by strong pressure around it with the barrel of a small watch key.

Bite of a Mad Dog: The bitten part8h~uld.always be fairly. cut out, a~d the place then immersed in warm water as long as It WIll bleed, after thIS let caustIC be freely applied to the whole surface, and a poultice put over it. If a finger is bitten it is advised to chop it off at once. Notbing less is likely to pre'vent hydrophobia, and for tbe disease itself tbere is no certain remedy; it is almost always fatal. kaus­pected dog should not be killed but saved, to make sure of his madness. Tbe same treatment must be pursued in case of a bite from a rattle snake or other very venomous serpent. Fortunately there are no really poisonous snakes in tbis Pro­vince; but sbould inconvenience or alarm ensue after the bite of any of our meadow snakes, the part should be kept well oiled for some time, and the patient sbould swallow brand V and water at intervals.

Drowning:· Here the great objects are to re-excite the circulation and breatbing which are suspended, and to restore the proper heat of tbe body. If a house is near, the, body ought at once to be carried to it, stripped, and put into bed between warm blankets. If at a distance from a house, the body sbould be stripped and laid on such dry things IlS can be had, in the SUD. It should next be wiped dry, the bead and shoulders a little raised, beat applied to the stomach and feet, and rubbed with flannel over the chest aud whole body: this rubbing sbould be perse­vered in for a long time, as it is the principal thing to be relied upon. A case is recorded where the first sign of revival did not appear until after more than eigbt hours rubbing. Artificial respiration and electricity are very useful, but they can­not be managed without the assistance of a medical man. As soon as animation re-appears, a little warm tea or weak wine and water may be introduced by spoons­ful far back into the throat, so as to avoid risk of choking. The patient should rp.­maiu for a considerable time in bed, and continue tbe warm drinks so as to favour perspiration.

Hangillg.-Should a person be found hanging by the neck do not run off for as­sistance, but release the cord, or cut him down at once, strip the body, dash it witb cold water, eudeavour to draw blood from the arm, and rub the chest for a length of time with hartshorn and oil or the like.

Choking: If a large piece of meat should happen to stick in the gullet it may eitber be pulled out by the fingers, which should always be tried first, or it may be got rid of by taking large draughts of water aud making great efforts to swallow, this often starts it downwards, bllt if it fail, a medical man must be got to push the morsel down by means of a long piece of whalebone, with a bit of sponge fastened at the end. Should fish bones or pins stick in the gullet, so low down that tbey cannot be pulled out again, their stay there is generally only temporary, as they mostly pass downwards into the stomacb, and give no farther trouble; but if they do not at once pass down, it is better to chew a crust of bread or some hard apple; to get down two or three mouthfuls without swallowing it completely, and then to take three or four I~rge gulps of water, by wbich means they may generally be ent.angled and earned. away. There is less danger in children swallowing small artICles, when they fairly enter the stomach, than is generally imagined, aud most o~ t~em gener~lIy a.ccompany the food through tbe bowels. When small articles shp Into the wlDd-p~pe, a~ may. happen wbile swallowing and trving to epeak or laugh at the same tIme, dlstressID" couuh comes on at once and should it not dis­lo~ge the .mall article, there is ve~y gr~at danger of life: little can be done here without a doctor, although some dexterous person may succeed in booking out the foreign body by his finger nail.

107

Things in the Nose: Should peas or seeds get lodged ina child's nOirtril they oug~t to be got out at once, as they soon swell an~ become more firmly fixed. By clos,mg the mou~h. and .one nostnl at the. same tlll~e that the boy snorts forcibly thr?ugh the nostnl m which ~he substance IS lodgad, It may often thus be got rid of; or If ,not, the nose may be pmched above the article, and by means of a bent bod­kin, or otherwise, it may be gently hooked out.

Things in the Ear: If a small hard suhstance becomes im pacted in the ear, it may be removed by the end of a small bodkin or probe j syringing with water is no~ advisable whe~e the small body.is a seed, but it !Day b~ advantageously resorted to m cases where It would not be lIable to swell With mOisture. Should an insect get into the ear tube, it should be filled with sweet oil, which both kills and dis­lodges the intruder.

'Things in the Eye give considerable uneasiness, but are generally soon washed out by the movement of the lids and the flow of lears wbich spontaneously ensue. Should this not be sufficient, the most simple plan is to keep the eyelids closed, and then gently pass the finger over them from the outer to the inner corner two or three times. Another way is to lift up the lid and brush out the object by a piece <if blotting paper laid between the lid and globe of the eye. Should these methods fail, the eye-ball and lids must be thoroughly examined for the offending particle, and it, when found, may be either sucked or brushed off, or removed by a feather or a small piece of lint wrapped round the end of a bodkiu. Should a ~mall piece of lime get into the eye, th0 risk of evil consequences may be averted by bathing the eye with weak vinegar and water, and brushing out the particles as thoronghly as possible by a feather.

Scalds and Burns: Scalds from hot water are generally less severe than burns, because the cuticle only is raised in the one case, while the true skin maybe de­stroyed in the other. The danger in both cases varies according to the nature and extent of the parts affected. Scalds or burns of the throat, ehest or belly, are most dangerous. If the clothes should catch fire, the person should lie down on the fioor, or roll over and over until the flames go out, or he should roll himself up in a rug or loose carpet as quickly as possible. He should next be put to beel, and all Clothing removed as rapidly as possible, taking care not to removp- any of the skin; should any part of it stick the scissors should be applied, and the"sticking part lert. Blisters should not be burst by rough usage, or by pricking. The principles of treat­ment are to sustain the acqnired heat for some time, and to lower it gradually to the heat of the body, to protect the parts, more particularly the true skin, from the contact of the air, aud to administer opiat.es so as to allay nervous irritation. If the skin be unbroken, flour or ,cotton wadding, or a varnish of thick gum water, does best j the~e are to be continued until the part be well. If the skin be. broken, lime water and oil or milk, spread freely on soft linen, do best. Warm spirits, or spirits of turpentine also answer well, and they may he freq\y applied for ten minutes or more j and the dressings should not be removed for twenty-four hours after the accident. If the true skin has been destroyed, a poultice may be nsed. Recently we have lmown very exten.ive and deep burns treated succftssfully with thick gum water only: this is painted on at first, and another layer added every day, 01' as often as may be desired, until the part is well:. this treatment saves the great pain and irritation attendant upon a change of dreSSIng. .

Frost Bites: The object here is to restore tbe natural heat as slowly as POSSI­ble, Should the whole body be frozen, it should be brought into a cold room, or laid in cold water. After thawing has begun to set in, tha patient must be remo.ved. and the body -rubbed for some time with weak .pirits and water. 'Vhen the lImbs lose their stiffness, the body should be dried an~ put into a cold b.ed: by slow de­grees the air should be warmed and the patlent allowed to SIp weak tea, or weak brandy and water. If ,a part of the body only is froz.en, it ,should be first rubbed with snow, or immersed in very cold waler, until the CIrculatIOn comJ?ences again j another very good way is to apply a cold poultice, the surface of whICh has been moistened with turpentine or laudanum.

108

WouNDs.-Scratches should always be kept clean and <lry until they have become completely well: in some cOllstitutions they ~o, ~y carele"sne~s, give rise to great irritation, and even danger: they are then said, In common language, to be poisoned. . ..

Pricks or Punctured Wau/,ds are often attended With great pain and IDflam­mation, and, except in the most tritling cases, ought Hot to be neglected. If a splinter or thorn remaill in the part, it ought to be got out as soon as possible, but it is much better to lD~ke a c1aan cnt with a sharp edge down upon its course than to poke and squeeze at the parts as is usually done. A magnifying glass will aid and direct very much in this matter, and ought generally to be used. If much heat. swelling, Ilnd redness supervene, a poultice to the part and a purgative are re­quired; if matter should appear to have formed, the sooner it is cut into the better. If a fi.h-hook get fixed beyond the barb in the skin, the best way is to cut oft'tbu hook from its dressing, nnd press the blunt end of the stem until it can he withdrawn in that way altogether. .

J1. Olean Out 01' a Ohop generally does well, if no very important part be in­jured: when no large ve.'sel is cut, the bleeding can always be .topped by bathing with cold water: the edges of the wound must then be brought fairly together, but without dragging, and kept there by narrow ~trips of sticking-plaster, or by conrl­plaster, or white of eggs on linen, or by a sliver of tow wound lightly ronnd the part and smeared with gum-water or isinglass; the whole to be protected by a loose uandage. If the part swell afterwards, the pressure may be taken off by slitting across the dressinl" on th? side opposite to the wound. Should much pain, throb­Ling, and inflammation set in, soak the dressings thoroughly in Wilrm water until they are quite soft, and then let them be removed and a poultice a rplied, until sup­puration sets in.

Bruis3.i Cuts are worse to manage, Lecause part bf the surface may have beeD killed, IlnJ this dead part can only separate by a long and painful process called sloughing. Should the part be so much bruised as this (which is known Ly its ashy, leathery appenrance), a poultice is the best application, and it must be con­tinued until tha part has come away, and the new flash filled in nearly to the old level, after which two or three turns of a bandage kept wet with cold water, or two or three strips of sticking-plaster across it, will ganerally ue suffiCIent to com­plete the cure.

Turn or Rellt JVuunds are likewise bad, because generally s<lme of the ragged euges are \<illed, and have to come away by sloughing: the best way is to wasb. the ~01l1J(1 c,lI"efully wi~h warm water, then draw the edges as evenly together ail possIble by means of stICking-plaster, and cover the whole with It breacl and water poultice; afwr the sloughs have come away, sticking-plaster alone, or cold water • .tressing will suffice.

Bleeding from TVounds on a bone may readily be stopped Ly pressure with the finger, or by a bit of cork bound tightly on with a bandag.~. "Then the wound is not over a bOOB, aud of small extent, the flow of blood rIl'ly gClH'wlly be arrested by cold waLer alone. Shouhi a largeves<el be wounded, it mosL be 80urrht for,nnd its opon entl compressed by the fing~r3, or tied by means of 8. n"edle ~nd thread, but this general!y requires the help of a professiollal m~n. Shollid the partie~ pre­sent be u""ble to accompiish this, they flUY, at all events, succeed in controlling t?C bieeding until aiJ arrives: this i; effected by raising the limb as much as pos­Sible, anI rn t~{lllg firm pres5ure on thi! COUise of th3 v~s~.-!l b::tWC.',111 the wound and the hoart from wllich the blood is sent: thu;, for bleeding f!"Om the uppel' part of the arm, a bye-slander should press his thumb firmly into tb2 noe:, behind the mid­dle of the. co!lar-boDe, or if he get.s tired, he l.n."J: take the bandle of a door-key, wrapped III taree or. four folds of hI'; handkercnlei, ami keep up the pressure as long as ouy b·o I·eq!llred. To arra,t severe bleeding from the upper pilrL of the leg or thlg-h, ~he rre.sure may oe made by the thumb upDn the lurl<e vessel immediately below thn cr:,ase of the groin, over the ,:d~'3 of the beme. ,Vhen the bleeding i'. below the mddle of tllo upper arm or tlilg/l, ths 1035 of blood IC'i'.}" be prevented by

109

passing a handkerchief o?ce. or. twice round the limb, some distance, if possible, above the wound, nnd tymg It tIghtly and firmly, with the knot, if possible, over the course of the artery; D. short piece of tough stick Is then to be pushed beneath the folds of the handkerchIef, between them and the skin, and twisted steadily round until the bleeding stops.

Bleeding from the Nose may generally be checked by standing upright, bathing the no~e with cold water, or vinegar and water, and sniffing it lip the nostrils. Should this not suffice, a soluti~n of alum may be thrown tip with a sqnirt, or a pIng of liut soaked in alum water may be passecl into the nostril, taking care to tie a strong thl'ead to it so as to prevent it going up too for. ·When blood is coughed up from the lungs, or vomited from the stomach, it ii best to lie down quietly and sip iced water or lemonade until the doctor arrives.

Bruises are best treated by an early application of bot poultices or flannels wrung out of very hot water. If more severe, leeches are requited.

Black Eye is traated like otber bruisea. Sprains: When a joint has been sprained, it should be treated with hot appli~

Mtions, as above, for a few days, and the slightest use of the joint must be avoided for Ii considerable time to come. If, after a dn y or so, the pain be severe, leeche~ do most good. After the inflammation is subdued, a bot liniment or a

' blister will

be advisable, and a tigbt bandage and rest for some time to come.

ON THE TRANSFER OF LANDED PROPERTY.

The object of the following observations is to give, in a brief, and it is hoped, intelligible form, some general information as to tbe tenure and conveyance of real e~tate or landed p,·operty, in thi. Province. All land within tbe Province is ori~ ginally tbe property of the Sovereign of Great Britain, and passes from tbe Sove~ reign to tbe subject by means of an instrument or writing called a Grant, to which tbe Great Seal of the Province i. attached, and which describes the particular por~ tion of land granted and tbe individual to whom it is granted. 8uch grant haTing L •• ued, tbe party therein named acquires an absolute title to the land therein de~ scribed, of which he can only be depri,'ed by his own act, or by the process of the low tn payment of his debts There are two modes by which a person owning land ~an dispose of it :-lst. By a Deed signed and sealed by him, which takes effect at once; and 2ndly. Bya "Vill, which does not take effect nntil after his death. /is to the first mode, viz., bv a Deed, there are various forms which have, from time to time, been contrived; hy the ingenuity of lawyers, to meet real or fancied difficulties, and make assurance doubly snre, which might be nsett with perfect safetv, but which having been, by the provisions of our registry law, rendered nn­becessary, arc but little known, and less used in this country. The form of con­veyance, almost universal.'y adopted here, is the deed of bargain and sale, so called because the words by wh/r.b it con<,eys lalld from one party to another nrc" grant, hnruain, and ~ell." 'I'hi" Deed, if duly acknowledged by the p.arty who convey" the land, or provetl by one of tbe attestlllg witnesses, and registel·ed h tbe Registry Office of the County in which tbe land is situated, at once transfers the property in the land describecl In the Deed to the party in whose favour the Deed is mude. The first tbing to be ascertained by a person about to purchase a tract of land i.~. whether tbe party who proposes to sell has a lawful title to do so. As alJ Deeds of land, to be availahle aoain~t a fair pUl·chaser, must be registered, this may be reodily ascertained by';. search in the Re.gistry Office of the County ill wbich the land is situated, where all Deeds, Mortgages, "Vilis {)r Judgments, affecting the land, will be seen; and should it appenr from such searcb, tbat in the succession of conveyances that in ravou; of the se/ler is .the last, nnd ~here are ~o ju.dgment!'l nffi!cting the land, tbe tItle WIll be good, prOVIded tbe selJer IS, at the tIme, In actuol posse"gion or occupation of the land. 'rbe purchaser must also be careful to gcarch tho office of the Sberifi' of tbe County where the land is situate for any execution

110

against the real property, as such an execution left there t~ be execut.~d will hind tbe land witbout a memorial of the judgment entered In tbe Registry Books. Crown Bonds, Jndgments, and Recognisances, have the same ~ff?ct j but as there i. no registry of tbese instruments, nor otber means of ascertallllDg the extent of the Crown debts, a covenant of warranty in the deed is the purcha~er's only ~e­curity. If other persons are occupying the .land, the nature of their occ~pa!lOn should be enq uired into. If they are occupymg as tenants to the seller, their n~ht w(luld be good against the purchaser, and he would not be .able to tak~ possessIOn until their ri"hts were determined, by the expiration of the time for whIch they had taken tbe ]abnd , or by a notice to quit or demand of possession, according to the nature of their tenancy. If it appears that other persons have been in possession for twenty years or more, or that at the time a party is in possession opposing the ri"hts of the seller to the land, the purchaser would not generally be safe, and c:rtainly not so, without the opinion of an honest and experienced lawyer, given on a full statement of all the circumstances.

Supposing the right of the seller til the land to be satisfactorily ascertained, the Deed of Conveyance is the next thing to be considered-the conveying words of which are, that the seller grants, bargains and sells to the purchaser, his heirs and assigns for ever. If the seller have a wife, she should join in the Deed, and the names, trades, or professions and residence of all parties should be inserted at full length, in ordel', as clearly as possible, to identify them. The descriptions and boundaries of the land should be as full and accurate as possible. If it is generally known by auy name, it should be described by such name, and its boundaries by fixed, pe.rmanent objects, if such exist. If the boundaries are lines described by magnetic courses, it should be ascertained whether they have ever been traced out on the ground, when, and by whom, and above all things, by reference to the owners of the adjoining lands, whether the boundaries are in dispute, in order that if any doubt or dispute exist, such doubt or dispute should be settled before the purchade. Supposing all these preliminary matters to be satisfactorily ascertained, the Deed should be signed and sealed by the sellers n nd their wives, if they are married, in the presence of one or more persons, whc> should sign their names as witnesses to the execntion of the Deed, and should be requested to take notice of the signing by the parties, that they may be able, at any future time, to speak to the fact of such signature. The Deed being thus executed, the next thing to be attended to is the acknowledgment or proof of such execution, to render the Deed tit for registry. The acknowledgment i;; effected by the conveyin" parties going before any Judge of the Supreme Court, or of any Court of Comm.;'n Pleas, or any Member of the I,xecutive or Legislative Council, or before the Registrar or any :Tu"tice of the ~eace for the County in which the land is situated, and aclmowledg­mg that they did execnte such Deed. If a married woman be a conveying party, she should declare, in the absence of her husband, before the person taking the acknowledgment, that she executed the Deed freely and voluntarily, without any threat, fear, or compulsio~ from her husband. Except as regards the execution by a marl'led woman, who, ill all cases, should be required to make the aclmow­ledgment above described, a Deed will be entitled to be registered, withont the a-c­knowledgment of the parties themselves, if one of the witnesses to its execution go~s before ally ?f the authorities above ellUmerated for taking 'lcknowledgments (wIth the exceptIOn of JustICe;; of the Peace), and makes oath to the execution oftbe De~d bX the conveying parties. The acknowledgment by the parties, the separate ex­ammatlOn and. declaratIOn of a married woman, or the proof of the execution by a 8ubacribin& Witness, should be certified in writing at the end of the Deed by the person taklOg such acknowledgment or proof, which certificate should set out the date of .the acknowledgment or. proof and the llame and office of the party giviDg the certificate at fnll ICllgt.h, w~thout any abbreviations. The person taking such acknowledgment or proof 15 eutilled to a fee of three shillinus for the acknowledg­ment or proof, and :he certificate t?ereof j R!,d if several p:rsons acknowledge or prove at the sallie time, and are mcluded III the same certificate, a further fee

In the British Colonies, such certificate must be authenticated by the 5ig­nature and seal of the person administering the Government, or by some notary public of the Colony; and in Great Britain or Ireland, the certificate of any Judae, Lord of Session, or Master in Chancery, must b-e authenticated by the Public S~al of some Corporation there, certifying that all faith and credit ought to be given to the acts or attestations of the person or authority giving such certificate. After this is done, no time shollid be lost in taking the Deed to the Registry Office of the County in wh.ich the land is situated, and handing it to the Registrar, who will transcribe it into his book in the order in which it was received. For this service, the Registrar is entitled to receive a fee of one shilling for every hundered words contained in the Deed and Certificate, which, if he demand it, he is entitled to be paid before he receives the Deed for registry.

A few observations on a very commoll kind of conveyance may, it is thought, be useful, viz., the Deed of MOl'tgage. This is a conveyance of land by a debtor (who is called the mortgagor) to his creditor (C311ed the mortgagee). as a security for thq amount of the debt due from the one to the other. The form of the convev­ance is the same as the deBel of bargain and sale before mentioned, and, therefor~. all the observations p1'eviously made on that head will be applicable to a Deed by way of Mortgage. There is a condition inserted in the Deed, by which, if the .pe­cified debt for wh,ich the land is th~ security, and all interest, be paid by the mort­gagor to the mortg~gee, on or before" certain specified time, the Deed is to be void. "Vhen thi~ period has arrived, and such payment has not been made, the legal right in the land becomes absolnte in the creditor, subject, however, to a right of the 'debtor, which a Conrt of Equity will enforce, to redeem the property even after the time specified fOL' p"yment has expil"ed, on payment of the debt and interest. After the expiration of the time appointed for payment of the ~ebt, ~he mortgagee may, by the inteL'vention of the Court of Cl1ancery, obtalll satLsfactlOn of the debt and interest eith~r by ha vill" the ri"ht of the m01·tgagor to redeem the land taken from him, '0.-' foreclosed as it is callee], and becoming the absolute owner of the land, Of by having the land sold at public aucti~n under t~e or~er of the Court, and hi~ claim satisfied out of the proceeds. It hes m the dlscretlOn of the Court to adopt eitber of these courses, which may seem most for the interest of tho mortgagor, but the latter is now the most common. The same thing may be effected by inserting, in the Deed of Mortaaae what is termed a Power of Sale, which is an agreement between the mGrtgag~r" ancl mortgagee, th"t if the p:i,?-cipal debt and inte~stbe not paid by a certain time, the mortgagee. may, 01~ gLVlng the ~ortg"gor notIce of his intention so to do, sell the land, pay h1m.elf hIS debt and mteres.t ont of the proceeds of such sale, and pay over to the mortgagor any surplus w.hlCh may re­main after such payment, This provi"ion, if care be taken to prOVIde that a re~­sona ble notice of sueh sale lIlu.t be given to the mortgagor, say three or even SIX

months, is fair as regards lilJth parties. It enables the mortgagee mora readily to

112

ll}btain payment of a jost claim for which the land was given as a security; and 3IJ

regards the mortgagor, it brings aboot the same result, which would be effected by the Court of Chancery, without the expense of a suit, which woold fall on him in addition to his debt.

In advancing money on mortgage ~ecurity, it is always advisable to keep very mnch withirt what may be considered the real value of the land, because the value of such property is very ~ariable, and if the debt is to be recovered by a forced 8ule of the laml, the real estimated value may not be obtained for it. The best course for a mortgagor to adopt is to pay. off the principal debt as Boon as he caD, bot al all events to keep down the interest by yearly payments, or he will find Ii

few years increasing his debt very materially. All the precautions as to prelimi. nary enquiries into title-occopation-as to the execution-witnessing-acknow. ledgment, or proof-and registry, which have been before suggested as to Deeds of Bargain and Sale, are equally applicable to Mortgages,

The discharge of a Mortgage, when it has been satisfied between the parties by payment or otherwise, is, by the provisions of the Registry Act, very simply effect. ed. The mortgagee may go to the office where the Mortgage ha~ been registered, and enter ill the margin of the Book against the registry of the MMtgage, that the Mort"age has been paid and satisfied-sign hi~ name to sUl'h entry in the presence of th~ Registrar, who will sign his name as a witness, for which the Regi.trar is entitled to receive a fee of three shillirtgs. If it be inconvenient for the mortgagee to attend at the office, he may execute a certificate that the Mortgage bas been paid or s(ltisfied, which certificate he should sign and seal, and which should be ac­knowledged, proved, an(l registered in the same manner as a Deed. When the mortgage has been discharged by either of these modes, the land becomes, as far as the mortgage could have alfected it, the property of the mortgagor.

The only other mode of disposing of land, of which the limits of this article will admit <lny notice, is the disposition by "ViII, which, of course, does not take effect till after the death of the person so disposing of his property. A Will of any property, of whatever description, must be in writing, and must be signed by the person making the Will (who is called the Testator), at the foot or end of tho Will, either by his own hand-writing, or by some person signing his name for him, by his direction, and in his presence. Such signature must be made or acknow­ledged by the Testator as his, in the presence of, at least, two witnesses, who must be both presRnt at the same time, and who must, in the presence of the Testator, IIDd of each other, sign their names as witnesses to the execution of the Will. The

. attention of persons called on to witness a Will should be particularly drawn to this, in order that they may be able to speak with certainty to the fact, that the Testator and th~ \vitnesse. were all present together, when the Testator signed or ackno~vledg8d IllS signature, and the witnesse~ signed their names in attestation of "n~h SIgnature or. acknowledgment. Any person who is to derive benefit from the \VIII by any deVIse or legacy should no'! he selected as a witness, because, al. though such an attestation wonld not invalidate the 'Will, it would deprive the· \vitnessof any benefit intended for him.

No W~ll mad,e by a person n~der the age of twenty-one yeafs will be valid, nor (except III partIC.ular cas~s whICh cannot be satisfactorily stated here) can a mar­ned wo~an, dUTlng.the lIfe of her husba?d, make a valid vVill. A Will may b(> altered III whole or ID part by the executIOn of a suhsequent one, or by adding to the former any new arrangement, in what is termed a codicil which however re­qllires the same formalities in the si<Tnature and attestation a; the Will itself 'and that will or codicil which bears the I~test date will be that which is to talie ~ffect. If Ii per_on, having made a "ViII rmrries, it i~ necessary for him to make a new one, a~ t.he former is rendered invalid by the marriage.

In g1VJ~g effect to WIlls the great principle adopted by Courts of Law is to carry onto the wls~e~ of the T~stator, .but persons mu"t not be misled by this into the n?tlOn.t?ut It IS a.very SImple thIng to make a "ViII which will be sllrc to effect tlUl

dIspOSItIOn of their property, as they really intend. 'l'he wording of the \Vill is

113

the general and principal mode by which the real intention of the maker i~ as­certained; bnt as it is often the case with respect to other writings even in ordi­nary correspondence, Ihat persons do not, in writing, express thems~lves so as to make that. clear to others which is quite obvious to t~emselves, so especially is it necessary In a Will to make every word and expressIOn full, minute and clear bearing in mi~d .that it will have to be understood and explained by otbers, whe; the maker of It IS removed beyond the reach of explanation. If the intended dis­position of property is at all out of the ordinary mode, or is likely to cause dissa-

tilifaction to any expecting parties, it would always be advisable to have a Will pre­pared by one well skilled in the law relating to such matters, to whom the real wishe~ of the Testat~r should be. fully and freely imparted. A. very few pounds spent In such precaution may ultimately save hundreds from bemg wasted in liti­gation, and, moreover, prevent much ill-feeling and unhappiness, which are too often attendant tbereon.

All Wills affecting land should be proved and registered in the same manner as Deeds, as soon as is practicable; but the registry within six months after the death of a Testator dying within the Province, or within three years after the death of a Testator dying without the limits of the Province, will be equally effectual as if the registry had been immediate. If, from a contest about the Will or other inevita­ble difficulty, the registry cannot be effected within the times above mentioned, a memorial of such contest or impediment should be entered in the Registry Office within those petiods, in which case a period of six montbs after the removal of such impediment is allowed for the registry of the Will.

The object of the foregoing observations must not be misunderstood. They are intended to give some little information to those who are not lawyers, on matters which are abundantly familiar to those who are, but certainly not to induce per­sonli to think they can, with safety, rely on them, as qualifying them to act as their own lawyers. Practically it will always be found, that in all matters 'con­nected with the transfer of landed property, to employ a professional man of good reputation for honesty and skill will be not only the safest but tbe most economical course.

DIRECTIONS fOR USING THIS TABLE. For example: to find the Interest of £40 for gO dn VB. look for 90 in one or other

of the five left-hand co umns ; at the hend of the co!ul;m will be seen '12, and on the same line in the rigbt-banu coll1mu ·O~80.-These being "dued together, the sum '1480 is the Interest of £10 for 90 tby,;, and being multiplied hy 4 will be ';;920, th~ Interes~ ?f £40 for 90 d,~ys. Then to extract the money value from these deCimals, diVide the first two 01 them to the l~ft by 5 : 59 divided by 5, the quotient 11, IS the number of shillings in the lnterc"t, and the remainder 4, with the next decimal 2, viz 42, i, the number of farthings in it, and 42 farthin<7s being 10~d., the Interest of £40 for 90 dn)'s is 11s. 101d. 0

2. '10 find the Intere,t of .1:42 for 91) days: the decimals of £10 for 90 clays having been found to be '1480. those for £l will of course be '01480 anu these being multiplied by 2.will be '02960, the Interest of £2 for 90 days. ' AdUing to­gether the fOl"mer decllnal '5920 and '02960, the sum '62160 will be the Interest of £42, and the money value 12s. 51u.

131

3.. To find the Interest of £428s. for 9,0 days: the decimal, for £10 for 90 days being '1480, and for £1 being '01480, those for 2s. will, of course, be '001480 and tbese being multiplied by 4 will be '005920, and being added to '5920 and '02960 make '627520, the Interest of £42 8s., and the money value Us. 6~d.

4. To find the Interest of .£742. 8s. for 90 days: the deCImals for £10 for 90 days being '1480, those for £1 being '01480, thOiIa for £100 will be 1'480, the de­cimal point having been moved one place to the left.-These multiplied by 7 will be 10'360, the InterElllt of £700, and being added to '5920, '02960, and '005920, make 10'987520, the Interest of £742 8s., and the money value £10 18s. 9ad. '

Recapitulation: the decimal for £10 for 90 days is .1480 ; then Interest for £700 is 1'480 >< 7 = 10'360

46 is '1480 M 4 = '592 2 is '01480 ><I 2 '0296 o 8s. is '001480 M 4 '00592

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SAINT JOHN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

'1'he Directors of the Saint John County Agricnltural Society, in submitting their Anuual Report, have to express their gratitude to the Giver of all Good, for the return of another propitious season, by which an abundance for man a!ld beast has been secured iu the land. With the exception of the potato crop, whICh has been again the victim of the mysterious blight, and on which n 103s of about one-fourth of its bulk will be sustained in this County, all other crops ha va been productive and free from disease. Wheat, when tried in this County, has yielded a large re­turn of remarkably heavy grain. Barley is coming more into cultivation, and invariably does well. Oats and Buckwheat have, as usual, been productive. Hay rather under an average crop. Turnips, Carrots and Bgets, owing probably to cold rains after sowing, remained long backward, and until the middle of Sep­tember did not promise much; since that time however they have rallied, and will now prove a fair crop. Monthly meetings of the Directors have been held regu­larly, and an increasing interest seems to be manifested in the improvement of Agriculture.

As the Directors had found mnch difficulty in maintaining a proper circulation of the books which they had obtained for a Library, they considered that, owing to the cheapness of Agricultural publications in the United States, they might, by giving books for premiums, enable Fanners to have each his own library. Books therefore were offered as premiums for all artides this year. As might have been expected, the competition was chiefly amongst those who knew the value of know­ledge. Still much useful information has, by this means, been distributed in direc­tions which would not otherwiile have been reached, and which, ifnot immediately productive, will at least favorably affect the next generation.

The books awarded have been eight copies of Stephen's Book of the Farm, nine copies of the Encyclopedia of Agriculture, thirteen copies of Colman's Euro­pean Agriculture, one copy of Stewart's Stable Economy, one copy of Buel's Farmers'Instructor, one copy of Youatt's Cattlo Doctor, one copy of Johnston's Lectures, one copy of BousingauIt"s Rural Economy, six copies of North British Agriculturist, two copies of London Gardeners' Chronicle, and two copies of the Albany Cultivator.

The Directors would recommend that in future the first preminms might he in money, and the second and third in books.

The annual Fair and Cattle Show was held on 10th October. The Judges, Messrs. Charles Perley of Woodstock, James Ingledew of Washademoak, and Monmouth Fowler of Hampton, reported "the show of cattle as highly ~reditable to the Province, the Sheep as very line, and the Swine as a superior breed and well adapted for the nse of this country, and the vegetables geaerally as of good quality. They also reported the ploughs exhibited by Messrs. Harris & Allan as equal if not &uperior to any imported; the edgetools, hammers and forks exhibited by Messrs. Samuel Spiller, and E. &- J. Broad as highly commendable. 'rhey expressed thems~lves gratified at the manifest .i~proyement in stock, which is beginning to "how Itself by many of the cattle exhIbIted, and the zeal generally manifested by the Farmers for the improvement of the country."

The Branch Society at Loch Lomond and Golden Grove has been conducted with much spirit, and has effected considerable improvement in those district~. A Re­port from that Society will be found in the Appendix.

135

'l'he Directors would recommend that Branch Societies be formed in the other Parishes of the County. When such Societies are in operation in each Parish competitors are placed more on an equality, and articles of proved excellence only are brought to the Countv Show.

The. Directors woul.d here call the auenl.ion of ~he Society an~ the public to the ne?esslty, now becommg apparent, for a SUItable piece of ground m or near the City bemg secured for a Cattle Market. The Mouthly Fair is now necessarily held on the street, and must soon be felt as a nuisance. Had a situation been secured ten or twenty years ago it would have been obtained for a trifle; it will now cost a considerable sum, but every year will add to the expense. As such a site will sooner or later be indispensable, the Directors recommend that the Corporation or Sessions purchase or procu~e at least an acrQ of ground in or near the Gity, erect sheds and cattle pens upon It, and fix a small charge for each animal brought into it for sale. The benefit this would afford to sellers and buyers is obvious.

The Treasurer's account is herewith submitted to the Meeting. It will be seen that the amount received for subscriptions for the year was £59 5s., and the Go­vernment allowance, £117 15s.

The expenditure has been £25 premium for an Oat-Mill, £6 16s. 2d. for ex­penses of Fair, £80 paid and accounted for by the Branch Society, £15 loss on Thrashing machine imported and sold, and £10 salary and office rent paid to the Secretary.

A balance of £130 remains in the Treasurer's hands. The amount of subscrip­tions, with the Legislative allowance, for the next year will add about £120, which will be a sum quite sufficient for all the purposes of the Society.

A Prize Essay on Scientific Agriculture, by Professor Norton of Yale College, was this year extensively distributed by the New York State Agricultural SOCiety. This Essay furnishes in plain language a short compendium of all that practice, aided by scieuce, has been doing of late years for the improvement of Agriculture, and the Direct@rs would suggest that a small portion of the Society's fun ds could not be better appropriated than towards publishing a chen p edition of this wOI·k. Copies might be furnished to members of the Society, and probably other Societies in the Province may take quantitie~ nt cost price for a like purpose. One or two thou­sand copies cau be printed at six-pence each.

The Directors ha ve received from the New-Brunswick Society for the Encourage­ment of Agriculture, Manufactures and Commp.rce, fifty copies of Reports on various subjects, which have been distributed. These Reports have been got up with great care, and are calculated to be of much service. The Directors would recommend that subscriptions be made in this County towards the support of this Society.

By the aid of grants made by the Legislature, a Bone-mill and Tile Machine have been imported and placed in the Penitentiary. The Directors trust that Farmers will be ready to avail themselves of the privilege thus afforded IG them. With tiles the land can be drained much cheaper and more effectually than with stones, .and most Farmers may collect every year as :nany bones as will manure an acre of land.

A quautity of seeds was distribtlt~d by the Society among the colored populati~n at Loch Lomond, and premiums, forwarded by several benevolent gent~emen 111

England, throu"h Mr. Duval of the Normal School, were awarded. By thiS means considerable i~provement has been made in the habits of this class of people, and many 'of them have, by their own industry, raised this year and the last sufficient food for their own use-a state of things quite new to them.

As Flax is not "rown to anv extent in this County, tbe Directors ha ve inserted in the Appendix dir:ctions for the cultivation and dressing of this crop: to which they call especial attention. As an article of clothing it might, to a considerable extent, supersede tbe imported linen and cottOIl, and the seed is of ~uch value. After t~e oil is extracted the cake forms the best food known for fattenmg cattle, and by Its use the manure is nearly doubled in value. The dressing, spinning and manufac­ture of the fibre would also afford pr()fitable indoor employment during the winter.

136

The Directors think it their duty to bring before the Society and the public the connection they have had with the survey of the Province by Professor Johnston.

The character of New-Brunswick as a field for Emigration or Agricultural set­tlement, stands in Great Britain and Europe at probably the lowest point. While the surplns population of the Old World is almost circling the globe to find a resting place;-while Australasia, Southern Africa, and eveu Gothland are absorbing thousands of that intelligent and energetic race, whose deRtiny it is to subdue the wilderness and carry the blessings of civilization over the earth ;-while thousands of wealthy farmers are annually pouring into Canada and the Western States-­New-Brunswick is passed by. W·hat little emigration there is, is by accident, or of those who take advantage of the cheap paslage by the returning timber ships, to get to the United State •.

One reason for this is, that New-Brunswick is either quite unknown to the mid­dle classes of Great Britain, or regarded as a barren and inhospitable wilderness, where the wolves and the bears contend with the nearly-os-savage lumberman for the scanty pittance which he can extract from a soil, which has scarcely time to be tbawed from the snows of one winter before it is sealed with the frosts of another.

One cause for this unfavourable impression is alluded to in Professor Johnston·'s Report. He says, " Two very different impreilsion~, in regard to the Province of New-Bnmswick, will be produced on the mind of the stranger, according as he coutents himself with visiting the towns and inspecting the lands whicb lie along the seaboard, or ascends its rivers, or penetrates by its numerous ruads into the inte­rior of its more central and Northern Counties."

" In the former case, he will feel like the traveller who enters Sweden by the harbour of Siockholm or Gothenburg, or who sails among the rocks on the northern coast of Norway. The naked cliffs, or shelving shores of granite or other hardened rock~, and the unvarying pine forests, awaken in his mind ideas of hopeless desola­tion, and poverty and barrenness ap.pear necessarily to dwell within tbe iron-bound shores. I have myself a vivid recollection of the disheartening impre .. ion regarding the agricultural capabilities of Nova-Scotia, which the firs.! two days I spent in that Province, around the neighbourhood of Halifax, conveyed to my mind. Had I re­turned to Europe without seeing other parts of that Province, I could have compared it only with the more unproductive and inhospitable portions of Scandinavia."

" A large portion of the Europeans who visit New-Brunswick, see only the rocky regions which encircle the more frequented harbours of tbe Province. They must therefore c~rry awa~ and convey to others very unfavourable ideas, especially of its .adaptatlon to agricultural purposes."

Again, owing to the great profits arising from lumbering or tim her getting, farm­ing has been always regarded ns a mere mak~shift, as a matter of quite secondary f:onsideration. It was easier to cut and hew a few stieks of timber for a barrel of flour or pork, than to plough, manure, sow, and wait patiently for "the earth to yield its increase. And as habit forms a second nature, it came at length tg be the general and settled opinion of the great majority in thi3 country, that because, as compared with the apparently more profitable pursuit of lumhering, and fallowed in a slovenly and improvident maimer, farming did not pay, therefore it would not pay, and ough~ not to be attemp~ed ; that it was folly to think of being able to raise th? staple artICles o.f consumptIOn, such as w~eat, corn an.d pork. Finally, tbat thIS was no~ an ~gncuJtul"al Country! The DJrectors of tlus Society, in common with many mtelhgent men through the country, have long dissented from tbis pre­vailin!? opinion .... They thouf;ht, Dn the ot.her hand, that t.his country possessed SlLpertar capabilitIes for AgrIcultural pursuits. That the SOlI was fertile the cli­mate quite favourable ,to the production of grain and v'lgetables, and that j~creased population, more capital, and a better system of farming were aU that was required to advance that interest, and with it all the other interests of the country to a state of prosperity. '

The Directors saw, in the announced visit of Professor J ahnston to N ew-York. an opportunity of putting their opinion of the country to the test. .

137

Profes30r Johnston has attained celebrity in Europe as a Lecturer on Scientific Agriculture. He is regarded by the scientific and intelligent throughout the world a8 cautious, searching and trustworthy. His opinions on all points connected with his profession are held as of the highest authority. The Directors therefore ad­dressed the ~embers of Government, requesting them to invite the Professor to visit New-BrunswICk, and report on its Agricultural capabilities. This request was re-8pondedto. The assent of the Legi&lature was obtained, and the Professor came. After spending three months in the Province, travelling upwards of two thousand miles through the length and breadth of the land, issuing queries and obtaining re­plies from seven Agricultural Societies and fifty-five of the principal farmers, he furnished, as the result, a report, which places the Agricultural capabilities of the Province iu a most favourable poiut of view, and flllly corroborat~s thllopinion8 held by those who were esteemed the most extravagant in their notions.

The principal points established are : ht. That of the eighteen millions of acres in this Province, thirteen are capable

of being cultivated, and five waste. To judge by comparison, Scotland contains nineteen millions of acres, only five of which are capable of being cultivated.

2d. That of this land, the Professor, from his own observation and researches, prononnces eight millions of acres to be very good in quality, and capable of produc­ing on an average two tons of Hay or forty bushels of Oats per acre, and that the thirteen millions of acres of available land are capable of prodncing, even with the present method of cultivation, one and a half tons of Hay, or twenty-seven bushels of Oats per acre.

31. That the climate is exceedingly healthy, and that it does not prevent the soil from prodncing crops, which, other things being equal, are not inferior either in quantity or quality to those of average soils in England.

4th. That, as compared with Canada, New-York and Ohio, the produce per acre of grain and vagetables of all kinds, is greater in New-Brunswick.

5th. That better prices are obtained for grain, vegetables and meat in New­Brunswick than in Canada, New-York, or Ohio.

6th. That" all the circnmstances which. have had an inflnence in rendering the agricultural body Jess prosperous, the agricultural interest less influential, and the agricultural capabilities of the soil less appreciated in New-Brunswick, are inde­pendent of, and extrinsic to, the natural capabiliti~s of the Boil itself, and that they do not in reality determine, nor permanently interfere with, the natural adaptation of the Province as a field of agricnltural exertion."

And finally, "That those who have confined themselves to their farming opera­tions alone, and have been ordinarily skilful, industrious and prndent, have, in no case, failed to do well."

The Directors will only notice and endeavour to refute one objection which has been frequently made to the correctness of this Report, and on which mnch of its valne depends.

It is, "that much of the information furnished is obtained from farmers who either had better land and better crops than their neighbours, or were desirous of making things appear better than they are."

To the tirst part of this obje3tion it is replied, that there arc included in the other returns seven from a"ricultural Societies-that it may be presumed that these gave the general produce ~f the County or district which they re'presented ..

The Directors beg distinctly to state, that the return fllrmshed for thiS. Connty ~as made up at a full meeting by unanimous cons~nt; tha~ the meeting conSisted maml~ of practical farmers, and of others well acqnamted WIth the produce of t~e County, and that the returns were given as the general avera!5.c J?rodtt;ce of the Cou~ty ...

Now, on comparing the returns of those seven So.Cletle~ With those from mdlVI­duals, it will be found that they do not, in any material pomt" vary.

138

To the second part of the objection it may b~ ~nswered. th~t of t?e fifty furmer~ who gave in the returns, twenty-five are of optni(~n that farmmg w~ll not. pay. It may be Rssumed that they, at least, would not wish to represe~t matters III too fa­vourable a light, and yet their returns give no less favorabl.e a v.lew of produce and prices than do those of the twenty-five who say that farmmg wIll pay. .

As to the prices given, the retnrns are more .than confirmed by a price cur~ent running over five years, made up from the Colomal Advocate Newspaper, and hlm-wise publi.hed iu the Report. ....

It is important to know, that the statistics with which these are cOD?pared were made up in precisely the same manner, namely, by returns from Agricultural So­cietiei and farmer •.

No one in this Province will presume to say that more authentic or trustworthy information could be obtained in any country than from such mea as WaltoD, Mowat Ilnd Farmer, of Charlotte Connty; Gilbert, Chapman, Cram! and Trenholm, of Westmorland; Otty, Hayward, Aiton and McLeod, of King's; Coster, Robert­son, Perkins and Smith, of Queen's; Hubbard, Clowes, Harrison and Simonds, of York; Rankin and Pickett, of Carleton; Steves, Lewis, Wallace and McLatchey, of Albert; Layton and Wheton of Kent; Porter and Hea, of Northumberland; Baldwin and Lockhart, of Gloucester; and Stewart, of Restigouche.

There are many, however, who, from having made up their minds that this is not a farming country, or from being natnrally predisposed to criticise, grumble, and find fault, will continue to assail this, as they do every effort at improvement, with sneers, doubts and ridicule. It is not expected that evidence or argument can have any effect upon snch.

It did not snrprise those who were familiar with the produce of the Northern States and New-Brunswick, to be told, that the Grain, Vegetables and Grass of New-Brunswick snrpassed those of New-England in quantity and quality. All who had tra veiled with their eyes open had seen it, and those who had thought at all upon the subject must have beeu aware that prices of provisions must needs be higher in the importing than in the exporting cauntry, by, at least, the charges for transport and merchants' profits.

As compared with Great Britain, to those who knew that it is not the annual average temperature, but the quantity of heat distributed through the Bummer months, that effects the growth and maturity of grain and vegetables, it needed only to be told, that while in Great Britain the temperatnre barely reaches the re­quired standard, in New-Brunswick it considerahly exceeds it, to expect it to fol­low, that while in Great Britain a fall of one or two degrees in the sum Iller tem­perature spreads dismay over the land, causes a certain and serious deficiency, and in many localities hinders the ripening of wheat and even oats; in New-Brunswick, on the contrary, wheat, oats and barley have never failed to ripen when sown in good season, and in favorable circumstances, and that Indian Corn, which, in Eng­land. can scarcely be grown, is here a productive, and generally a sure crop.

The Directors understand, that in addition to the 1000 copies of Professor John­ston's Report, already puhlished, another edition of ]0,000 copies is being printed.

It is expected that these will be distrihuted for sale at a cheap rate thronah every tewn and village in Great Britain and Ireland, and that a copy will he PIaced in eve.ry a~ricultural libra~y. Thus will a knowledge of onr advantages, as a field for emigration be commumcated to thonsands in the older countries, who are seeking to escape from the evils incidental to exceSISive competition, and to find a home where an honest living may be obtained by patient industry.

If, in addition to this, the Report be read, and the directions contained in it be to any extent, put into practice by the farmers of the Province evidence will soo~ be furnished in the. incre~sed productivene.ss of the soil and cdnsequent prosperity of all connected With agrtc~lt~r?, that to mcrease knowledge is to increase power, and that all that has been JudiCiously expended in obtaining this knowledge has been well laid out.

In conclusion, the Directors are gratified to he able to record, that a desire for

139

.information and a spirit of improvement have arisen, and are spreadina over the lan~ ; ~gricultural. Societies are fQrmed, or. forming, in almost every C~unty and Parish In the Province; Shows are held; Improved stock, seeds and implement. are. Bonght after and IIppreciated ; a much larger quantity of provisions is now raised in the co.untry,. to the exclusion of the imported wheat, flour, and meal, and tbe ~reat truth I.S C?mlnll! nea.rer and neare~ to. men's mi.nds, that on the ability to furmsh food to Its inhabItants, on the substltutlOn of an '~mproving, for an exkaust­ing system of husbandry, must depend the future prosperity, independence, and well-being of this country.

St. John, October 31, 1850. -APPENDIX TO THE REPORT.

METIlOD OF FLAX CULTIVATION. From the Transactions of the New-York State Society, for 1849.

, The importance of this crop to the farmer has just begun to be appreciated, and a8 it has some peculiarities in its culture, I shall give the results of my experience for the last seventeen years.

The soil best adapted to its culture is a rich loam, but it will succeed on almost any soil except sand, provided it be high or hilly land. It will not grow well on low lands, on borders of streams or rivers; it is tbere subject to mildew. The seed being small, it must not be placed deep in the ground. Tbe ground should be wall ploughed, harrowed before sowing, aud very lightly harrowed or bushed after sowing. The earlier sown in spring after the ground ig fit to work, the better. One bushel of seed to the !lcre is the best quantity to ensure a good yield of seed and lint. Flax succeeds best after such crops as have been cultivated the previous year, so as to destroy weeds. The ground cannot be too rich, but the manure sbould be applied with the crop of the previous year. A good mixture to sow with the Flax is one bushel each of plaster, salt, wood ashes and lime per acre.

The expense of a crop of Flax is about the same as Oats. Pulling coots $3 per acre; thrashing alJd cleaning the seed, $1; dew rotting the lint, $1, and dressing at the mills, $2, per 100 lbs. of Flax. The average quantity of Seed raised is eight bushels per acre, and the average quantity of Flax 250 lhs. per acre, although this has frequently been more than doubled both in seed and lint. The average price of Seed is $1,25, and of Lint, 9~ cents per lb.

I have raised from ten ncres up to fifty acres yearly. 1 copy from my book the results of one acre I surveyed in 1847, of about the average in yield and in price: Weight of flax and seed before thrashing, 3848 lbs. ; weight of Flax, 2664; quantity of clean seed, 13 bushels, but when dressed, S481bs.

Lint sold for 10 cents. per lb. $34,80 IS bushels Seed, 16,27 Ii bushels yellow Seed, 78

There are two methods of rotting Fl:ix, one by spreading it thinly and evenly on our meadows, which is called dew rotting. It is considered sufficiently rotted when, by rubbing the stem and breaking it with the hand, the lin~ easily ~epar~tes from tbe woody portion. This is the common process, and requIres but httle Judgment to do it properly. The other method is by immersing it in water; and as I haYe rotted, by this process, many hundred thousand pounds, I may be excused for

140

being particular as it is a process which enhances the value of the lint when pro­perly done. doth from water-rotted lint will withstand the mildew or rotting which dew-rotted cloth is subject to.

In water-rotting Flax, it must. be enti~el)' cover.ed by the water, and kept under by weights, and must not remam after It IS suffiClen~ly rotted. .

It is rotted much better in still water 01' vats thau m the runnmg stream. I can­not do bette!' than describe my own vat or pit, which is about sixty feet long by twenty wide and five feet deep, whic~ will contain twenty tons of Flax in the stem, with a gate at the lower part of the pit to draw off the water from the Flax, and a gate from the pond above til fill t~e pit with water. . .

The Flax is placed on poles laId on the .ground regularly, as It wo~ld be m the barn and when the pit is filled and the weights placed I let on BuffiClent water to cove; the Flax. In warm weather, from the 6th to the 10th day, fermentation will take place, the Flax will rise above the wa ter and remain a few hours, after which it sinks, and the process of rotting is then finiBh~d.

But this process is retarded when new water IS added, and then the only way to determine is by the stem. When the lint slips freely from the stem, by drawing it through the fiDgers, leaving the stem free from the fibre, it is ~ufficiently rotted; the water is then let off, the Flax drawn out and spread for drymg. All Flax, beforl! being immorsed is bound in bundles with strong bands, the sheaf not too large.

With all the directions that can be given, conlltant watching is necessary, and some experience before it can be done safely and with certainty. The Flax crop I consider less exhausting to the land than any of the cereal grains. It is true the crops do not succeed well sown in succession, but all other crops succeed well after Flax, and it is my favorite crop to lay down in grass seeds, and I have always had seed take better after this crop than any other.

LOCH LOMOND AND GOLDEN GROVE BRANCH SOCIETY.

ROBERT JARDINE, ESQ.,

President of the Saint hhn County .!lgl·icultural Society, ~c. ~c.

SIR,-This being only the second year since the formation of our District or Branch Society, formed under the auspicious management of the Saint John County Society, I take much pleasure in giving you a brief outline of the results within this short period.

It appeared that when your Commissioners were appointed to organize BraDch Societ.ies in the different Parishes of the County, as named in your Annual Report of 1849, its principal object must have been to induce persons who had hitherto neglected, to enrol themselves in the Saint John County Society, or to form District or Parish Societies, to take an interest in the cause; and at the same time to hold out such encouragement, by reducing the annual subscriptions so low a8 would enable. every person who might be inclined to avail himself of the opportunity of becommg a m<:mber; and also, to bring the Society meetings and annual exhibitions so close to their doors that no reasonable excuse could be offered for thus declinin" to come forward, and it must therefore be gratifying to yon to observe that thos; efforts have been so far crowned witll success.

Last year being the first exhibition at which premiums were given for the best ~ampl~s of grain, vege!ables, ~c., .and also for the best cattle, and improvements 10 varIOUS other ways 1D farmmg; It could not be expected that so much interest would be excited on the first occasion. But it appeared after that exhibition, the encourag<:ment thus !leld out at that time, mu~t have had the effect of stimulating and ar?usmg to exertIOn many,farmer.. The. mcrease of members in onr Society l:nme~lat~ly after--:-the ploughmg and preparmg of lands last autumn for c!'opping 10e fo.lowlng or thiS year, to such an extent as never before were known in this

141

Parish, and the making of manure, all strengthen this idea~the beneficial results< of which are obvious. It will be fOlmd that agreater quantity of grain of different kinds has been raised in this Parish this year than in any year previous, samples or which were recently exhibited in the Grove ilt the second or last Fair or Cattle Show, which certainly eonld not be considered inferior to grains of the same kind raised in any country. Potatoes generally, especially those on newly burnt lands" turned out n good crop, although somewhat injured by tIre blight, farmers will have more than a sufficiency for their own use, Oats and buckwhe<j.t were the principal kinds of grain raised, whioh were of a superior qnality, and it might be said for this Parish, compared with other years, an abundant crop. Wheat was good, although there was not a great quantity of it raised. I think there were not so many turnips raised this year as last, as grain appeared to be more the object of the farmer. Hay was not an a bundant crop'. but it was much better than last year. On the whole, thi:! Parish, I should say, would have quite enough for its own cOllilUmption. It would be superfluous for me to recapitulate those who received premiums at the last exhi­bition, and who have been already published. But it will be necessary to acquaint you, that at the last meeting it was moved and carried, that the Society be enlarged to the whole Parish, at which time many of the loading members subscribed liberally, and a number of new ones enrolled their names.

It is evident there has been, within the last two or three years, an increasing desire manifested amongst the inhabitants generally to improve in Agriculture. The premiums offered for the best, second, and third methods of making manure have created a stimulus in this very essential and important branch of Agriculture.­The improvements in it certainly are very great. I regret that I am not in posses­sion of the written descriptions of those to whom premiums have been awarded for mannre, to accompany this Report. The premiums also held out for the best tur­nips and carrots, have been the means of introducing to some extent the raising of these very certain and bllneficial crops, as also premiums for the greatest crops of all kinds.

Our means being limited as yet, we. hav~ not been able to hol~ ol1t .enco~rag~­ment for the draining of lands; but tillS bemg so necessary, especmlly m thIS clI­mate, to render lands earlier and more productive, I trust our Society will soon tum its attentien to this most important improvement.

ON THE ECONOMY OF MANURES.*

The Special Committee of the New-Brunswick Society for the encouragement of Agriculture, &c., which was appointed on the 31~t of January last ~'to in~eBti­gate into the most prdcti~al modes adal?ted t? the Clrc,umstances of this Provl~ce, of accumulatin .. , preservlOg, and applymg different kmds of Manures, espeCially Manures avaih:'ble from Household and FarmYard establishments," have attend­ed to that duty and beg leave to submit the following Report.

It waS formerly thought that most of the, conB~ituents of plants w~r~ produced withiu themselves by some supposed, mysterious, IOherent power, but It IS now well established that their chemical elements are derived exclusively from materials ex­isting in the earth, the air, or the water w,hich surrounds ~hem: s~ch "from, ,the beginning" has been the harmony ~nd relatlO~ betwee!l thmr respectIVe compositIOns that, weight for weight, the materials found m the soil or the atm?sphere are con­vertible into the roots, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds of our cultivated crop., and these again into the blood, flesh and bones of men and animal~.

That which thus nourishes is what is commonly called food, and neither crops, nor colts, nor calves, nor children can be made to grow and flourish in any other way than by the plentiful administration of such food.

But the food of these differs respectively, and that which iii required for different kinds of crops differs also to a certain extent, still it is perfectly certain that for the luxuriant growth of any crops we must administer in proper proportion all the mate­rials which the Chemist finds on analysis to be the uniform constituents of such crops.

When plants are freely acted upon by heat the great bulk of their substance be­comes gaseous, inflames and disappears: this bulky combustible portion consists chiefly of four substances which have been termed respectively Carbon or Charcoal, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen: with the exception of the last, these are readily accessible in the atmosphere or in the soil, or through the soil to plants growing und~r ordinary circumstancee.

The Ash or Mineral part which seldom elrceeds five per cent. of the whole, con­sists of about nine different elements, which also, with a few but important excep­tions, are generally to be found in soils. Here then, as in most other cases, Nature does a great deal of the work for us, that is, the chief portion of the required ele­ments are presented by the hand of Nature, while a certain and a necessary pro­portion must be supplied by the skill and labour of the Husbandman: these are most generally the Salts of Ammonia aud the Eartky Phosphates: from the former the flesh, and from the latter the bones of animals are afterwards chiefly to be constructed. If tbe Farmer refuses to do his part he will starve his crops: if he starves them, they will starve him aud his cattle, buUf he feeds them they will feed him and his most bountifully.

Since plants are thus greatly nourished or fed by materials derived from the soil, the fundamental principle will ever be to return to the land an equivalent iu manure for the materials contained in the crops which have been removed, or else it will Boon become barren or incapable of nourishing crops at all : if from twelve or thirteen differer,t suhstance. originally present in a fertile soil we remove two every year for six years, the land must necessarily thus become exhausted, or even, if, in one yeor, we remove one or two of primary importance, their absence will be the ca use of a special barrenness or exhaustion of the soil: when, therefore, a farmer has for a series of years been selling off his hay and oats and cattle without makinu the necessary retllrn~ in lieu thereof, his land thereby becomes either generally o~

specially exhausted, and he must cast about and consider upon wbat principle he may at the cheapest rate replace the old materials, and . restore the necessary ele­ments of productiveness to the soil.

Manures are substances capable of replacing either directly or indirectly chelost elements, and of feeding and sustaining the growth of crops: without them the farmer can do nothing; with them almost every thing: they are the basis and life­h!oo.d .of all successful husbandry: by them we ~ay increase the production and dlmlmsh the cost of food, they are III fact the ma tenal out of which the food is to be formed, and they ought ttl be economized and husbanded as so much coin, ever remembering that in no part of the farm work is labor better invested than in their collection and preservation. . . Throughout this Province generally there seems to have prevailed much iallorance or neglect of these first principles: it would not be very difficult, we apprehend, ~or most farmers to make or save at le~st one~half more manure than they do, and It would be easy by care and compostmg to Increase the quantity uf manure actu­ally made three or four fold: it is wrong, therefore, to ascribe to the country or the climate what has been'in too many instances due to the ignorance, idleness, or reckless improvidence of the settlers themselves. It will be our endeavonr in the remainder of this paper to indicate certain of the points and principles, by attention to which, some of the evils of the old method may be more or less effectually re­paired.

Manures we have said are such substances as are capable of supplying directly or indirectly one or more of the elements of our cultivated crops: accordingly it must be obvious that plants themselves or the parts of animals fed upon plants, must be the basis of all common manures-that whatever has been part of a living plant or animal may by proper treatment be made to yield the materials out of which living plants and animals are again to be constructed : practically, however, it mnst be our endeavour to procure the cheapest or waste forms of these, and also to make use of such materials as are accessible and contain one or more of the same con­stituents as plants, even although they may not hitherto haye formed part of any living plant or animal.

In thi~ point of view the sources of manure will 3 ppear to increase and multiply: the barn yard, the hog pen, the sheep fold, the hen roost, and the pigeon house, the pt·ivy, the ash bin, the wash tub, the slaughter house, and the tan yard, peat bogs, muck holes and gullies, road sides, roads and ditches, the forest, the sea beach, the sewers, the lime kiln, the plaster bed, the shell and marl bed-these are a few, but not all of the sources from which the intelligent farmer may procure materials for his manure heap: by a patient industry in collecting materials from the above sources, and by a rigicl economy in saving them, much more lanel may be profitably brought into tillage than has ever heretofore been the case: it is not intended, however, by the above remarks to induce the r.~rmer to forego other profitable labor, but it is intended to show how a fiLrmer, who is properly aware of the sources of manure, need never himself be idle, nor his cattle in want of useful occupation.

When plants or animals die, their elements spontaneously separate by degrees aaain, and become viewless; ~ome of them become gases (carbonic acid, a.mmonia a7"d watery vapor), and mingle with the atmosphere, some of them (alkaline snlts) are dissolved in water and washed away, while the remainder (earthy salts) are hidden in the soil and bee-orne incorporated with it; these changes, which really cliffer but little from those whir;h are effected by comhustion, are called decomposi­tions, because the living substance is thus gradually brought back to simpler and simpler fonn.; at ordinary temperatures the decomposition or jennentation of ve­getable sul?stances which abound in ',:o.ody fibre, procee.ds very sl?wly, while nnde.r the .,ma Ctrcumstances the decomposlllon or putrefa.ctwn of animal substances, If not too dry, proceeds very rapidly; !his great difference is, by Chemists, ascrib~~ to the comparative abundance of NItrogen (an element whlOh ha.s naturally but little tendency to unite with other~), in the. latter. No~v.' whe~ ammal matters are mixed with \'egetable, the tendency to rapId decomposItIOn whIch the former natn-

144

rally possesses i~, by contact-as fire kindle~ fire-or lea'len leave.neth the lomp­communicated to the latter, and .the whole IS changed together; !Ike fire also, or Iike.Ieaven, a little of the one may also transform a great mass of the other: the time required for these decompo~itions, and the temperature which both con­duces to them and characterizes them, vary according to certain conditiono, of which the most influential are the proportions in which the materials are present, the openness and moisture of the mass, and the temperature of the snrronnding atmos­phere. In a general way it may be said, that the more animal matter there is in proportion to the vegetable, and the hotter the external air, while at the same time the heap is moderately compact and moist, the more rapidly will decomposition proceed, and the greater will be the heat developed in the heap.

" Blood hent," or, say 1000 of Fahrenheit's Thermometer, is the most favora­ble temperature at which the decomposition of manure heaps ought to proceed, and this can generally be maintained pretty evenly by opAning or closing up the fer­menting heap; covering it with earth or watering it with water i. found not to be so good in practice.

To secnre the greatest effect of the fermented material, the process ought to be stopped and the manure applied before the whole has become a mere soft, black earthy mass without trace of straw or vegetable structure, or before the tern pera­ture has become lowered wholly down again.

If the fermentation of a mixture of straw, &c., with cow dung, &c., be allowed thus to proceed nnheeded, it will he gradually losing weight and value; recent manure, it has been pro~ed, weighs more than twice the dry food and litter con­sumed; when half rotten it loses one-fonrth of its weight, and when quite rotten one·half; that is-its elements ha vo disappeared as gases in the ail', or as liquids in the soil. Now, since putrefaction cannot proceed without the formation of such gases and liquids, the true secrat of economising manures (at this stage of the bnsi­ness) will be to try to fix or absorb the gases (ammonia, carbonic acid, &c.), and [0 retain the Iiqnids by some appropriate means.

Among the fixers or absorbents which are readily accessible, we may mention good black earth, peat or boO" mould, plaster, sawdust, charcoal dn8t, leaf mould, pond mud, chip rubbish, turf, road scrapings, &c.; the liquids, again, may either be drained off into proper reservoirs and re-applied to the heap, or they may' be soaked np by a thick coating of black earth or peat mnck spread beneath the heap. This decomposition or fermentation of manures is necessary to bring the materials into that forin which snits them to become the food of plants, and it ought always to be continued uniformly and steadily nntil it is completed. When it is an object to prevent the fermentation of manure, it ought to be piled up in close masse3. on the sha.dy side o!' the barn,. and kept as dry and cool as possible: if we have the ma­tenals, and If we can Indnce them to ferment, we can, at all times, find the means lor nourishing a luxuriant crop on our land.

By a full understanding of these simple principles, a great deal more manure may be savecl in the conntry than ever has been done heretofore. The same clear apprRhension of the principle must govern our practice wherever manures are con­cern~d: in the yards, much is lost by evaporation and by the winds, which might readily be saved: (hen, also, the melting Bnow and rain are too often allowed to wash the salts out, or the spouts from the roof of the barn or ill-cut drains are al­lowed to dre~ch the putrefY,ing mass: much of this loss might be prevented by freely spreadmg bog earth III the cattle yards in early spring: in the field. also there is often gr~at loss by evaporation or by leaching-a cover or crust of c~ay, or peat, or earth :nlll be necessary here as well; and to economize the wash, probably l~e best wa! 18.to lay the heaps on a bottom of clay, peat or marl, and to place lnem on a hlllh .Instead of a low part of the field. But besides saving the elements ~f crops, as Indlcate~ above, ,~e may, by composting or mixing varions materials, tnemsevcs nseless, WIth the ammal mannre or ferment, increase oUl' available ma­nure to a very great ext211t. This is a point to which we cannot aive too much im­portance-the old upland farms of this country cannot be aga~ brought back to-

]45

Fertility, e~cept by a much more ~eneral attention to mixed .manures or composts. The materIal~ for these are sufficJently abundant and accessible to all : by making J!roper use of them,. we may, at le!lst, treble o~r manure, and thereby bring three times as much land mto profitable tillage. Their preparation may go on either in the barn-yard, or in the field, or by the road sides, and we will again recur to them in a more particular manner.

Having got our manure, how are we to apply it? As a generll-l rule, it ought to be ~hort o~ well rotted b.efore i~ is used, and as a general rule also, ploughing it under ImmedJately after hemg delivered, and equally spread over the field is more advan­tageous than using it as top-dres.ing: on the average, twenty waggon loads are a dose for an acre of tilled land, and it is better economy by far to apply twenty loads to one acre than ten loads each to two acres: if the land has been ploughed to lhe depth of, say ten inches, it will be sufficient to cover over the manure to the depth of about three or four: all that is required is merely earth enough to cover and absorb the fertilizing materials-after the manure has been thus added to the land, decomposition still goes on warming the land, and yielding those nutritious elements under their proper forms which are required for the luxuriant growth of the crops; but, as formerly observed, heat, air and moisture, to a certain extent, being required for fermentation, we must take care not wholly to deprive the ma­nure while in the ground of its chance of access to these important influences. The previous clearing of the soil from weeds, and its preparation by drainage, will greatly conduce to the economy of manure-a cold, watery soil will not orlly arrest putrefa'Ction, but it will run away with the materials which constitute the chief virtue 01 the manure. '

Another point of great importance to the farmer who '!omplains of having but a 8mall supply of manure, is, that he should apply that which he has got to that crop, and in that part of his rotation, so that the greatest benefit shall be derived from that which he actually can command. The principle which ought to guide the farmer in determining the rotation or succession of crops is sufficiently simple; all crops remove certain of the elements of the soil, that is" they exhaust the land more or less-but they do it unequally: grain crops, which grow till their seeds are ripe, remove the greatest number of the fertilizing elements of the soil: the English grasses which also ripen their seeds are next in the order of exhaustive power, then the fallow or root crops, while land laid down to pasture rather improves than otherwise. Hence it is obvious that crops of the same kind ought not immediately to succeed each other, but to alternate with others, and the principle holds good, not only fOI' the different classes of crops, but for the different species of. the same class, as each class c·omes round in the general rotation. Thus they will exercise upon the land actions alternately opposed, and, therefore, to a certain extent, com­'pensatory, while each particular element of fertility in the soil is made to go as far as possihle.

In breaking up old pasture or mowing ground, therefore, the sod may be re­garded as manure enough for an oat crop; next ~ear.may ~ome a ho,:d crop with a good dose, say thirty tons of manure pCI' acre, tins WIll enrIch, pulvenze, and cleau the land, and still leave crough of mtragen and phosphates from the manure for another grain crop of a different kind, say wheat, rye, or barley, in the third year: if clover and grass seeds have been sown with last year's grain we will have a good crop of grass in the fourth year; during the fifth and sixth the grass may be ellt for hay, provided it has been top-dressed (with, say ten t~ns of manure) in the fifth: in the seventh or filll of the sixth the land may be agam ploughed for another kind of grain crop to be followed by another kind of root crop. For the average light upland soils of this country, the aboye cour.se whic.h affords two doses .o! ma­nure every seven years may be called an lfllprovlOg one for the land; by stnvmg to get more cro""s of grain or hay in succession, the farm must, at length, become im­pO\'erished, and the farmer too; it is quite possible, however, ~e it obser,:"ed, to get a sucCession of almost any ldnd of crops from good land by hIgh manurmg, for 11

great length of time, but ill the ordinary upland of this Province, and with the 01'_

1\.

146

dinary supply of manure made on the farm, it is impossible. Th~ praotica.l infep-8nce therefore is to reserve our manure for the hoed crops chIefly (winch can hardly be over:manurcd in f:lct) and for top-dressing to the grass land, if the gras,; is to be cut for hay at least, and sold off the farm: the Importance of green crops in the rotdtion, and their value as a means of lDcreasmg our stock of manure, can hardly be overstated; the land generally all~wed to olle cow, say ~wo or three, acres, may thus readily be brought ~o nour!sh three, or more, and tne manure of well-fed cattle will go much t:1rther It1 canslng the iernlPntatlOn of straw or bog earth.

The mo"t important source of ma?ure is the barn-yard, s~eing that tbe,materials thence del'ived can supply plants WJth all the elel1lents whIch they requIre except those derived from the atmosphere, bnt how often have we seeil it carelessly 01'

ignorantly planned, so tbat it very imperfectly fulfilled its purpose :-the barn i.tself a cold, comfortless shed, and the yard a mere enclosure, sheltered from the bltlllg blasts of winter by a rail fence, and drained into tbe nearest brook or highway. The enlightened proprietor and contriver of these arrangements will not hesitate withal to tell YOll that this is a poor country for farming, and that" he cannot fix ii' up flO how. " ,

A barn should genemlly be built upon a side hill, in a dry and sheltered place, and made quite tight an(l secure again;;t the weather; warmth is as food to cattle, and if we can save hay inside by the application of boards or battens outside, the· economy is obvious: the main barn should have a soutl,ern aspect, anel if there be not other· shelt~r-sheds or barm on the east aud IVest sides, there ought to be a yard made open to the south and surrounded by a close fence six feet high and per­fectly weather-tight: this fi1ld-yard should b" made hollow ill the centre, sJoping gradually to a depth of acout two feet: this may be readily uone hy the plough and spalle, and the bottom ought to be rendereLl wator-tight, if possible, by mean" of clay, &c, If the yard be, say fifty feet sqnare, tho siues to a br8adth of, suy ten fed, ougbt to be nearly level: on 80mB one of tllf$e sides, the manure or com­post heap,; may be made up in the spring, and if a slight roof could be fixed in any way so as to silielel tho whole 01' part of it from sun and !'Hin, it would be economi­cal in the end; the surface water aOll the water from the roois ought to be carefully leu away so as to prevent the leaching of the manure, for liquid manure may be so diluteu ,lS to !wcome almost worthless ~ if drain8 from the kitchen sink could be made to P[lB3 through th8 -t-ault, aud then to end in the main ynrd, very much valu­able materials migbt in thi" ',,,"y he economized: but if, from any cause, the liquid materials should ~e so abund"nt us to drench the solid ones ill the yard, there ought to he Llrains contrived to carry 31;,,'ay the moisture before it overflows, and sinks or catch poole to recBive the Equid portions, ",hieh nre often quite as valuable as the solid.

This brrl'l1-Ylll'll sbould be laid with a foot 01' half-dried peat or muck, or saw­dust, ill J\ugust or September, after that let the droppiD"s of the cattle accumulote \~ithih it, Jet nil garbage from the houRe, all soot, s'\,veepina::1, and lime rllbbish, alt hUe:, potato tops, l'u'phelTY bushes, fern", rushes and weeds from the 1101d5, the refu!!'e of gnnlens and of the ciu3r pres~) all ont husk.:::, bran, corncohs, and buck .. vyheat chaff, !ll1lck from the :;w;lfnps, leuyr':l anlt soil from the fOI"eHt and the ronGs, pond-vveed from the ditche~, sea-v\'eed and eeJ-grn3s from the shere, &c .. be IhrowlI in as they come to hancl.

The c,;ttle will, of coorse, rem" in t~,e", most of the winter and feed out of racks 01' sbeds appropriated to them: during tbe winter season this 'Iud should also be. littered twice a \vcc~,: i,\"ith straw, Hnd if convenient, spl'inkle'cI r'c':a~iiJl1uJjy with r.!ast;~r: i~ sprin~ it mny .b,f~ clE'r\necl uc·," , [~.ld its contents made into heaps tllreB or ,om .-'et IJlg", wIth or Wll.'0ut plaster, and brought to a wholesume state of fCT-lIlentnti'~;1 before laying it un the iand. .

In al1Jitiotl. to the main yard or general compost ground ahove (~es('ribed, thrre ought to he mther a stone-cellnr uncler the cattle-stalls, which i., on the whole, th" best, 01' a long, nanow, and sh11!0w pit, about two feet deep, covered above with"

roof; 'a'rid puddled o~ lined in the bottom, in such a, way as to prevent leakage" and~ 'ptacedsoas to receive readily the winters; dung, and urine from the 8tables: the" bo~tom of thiseellar or pit should be lai\'! with 'bog earth, loam or marl, or other ab­sorbent, 'a:ndeccasionally also ~t,'shouldbe sprinlded with, plaster.

The rich maTiure of this cellar or'shed should be incorporated in heaps. with that from the ,general compost yard ill tlill 'prppottion of one of-the former. t.o three of the latter, and'lhe whole (hus brought into that state of admixture and decay, which tenders it most capable of sustaining. the productiveness of; the soil: a few weeks, b'eforethe manure is required, for the root crops it will be tillle enough to induce aetive fermentation in the heaps: after a while these heap~ough" to be turned over once or twice so as to secure the 'full·inflpence. of the air, upon the ,(ermenting ma­terial&, and effect the thorough incorporation of the whole: it may now be hauled oil to the land, and" in the case of turnips, it is well to. sow thE) seed. with as little delay as possible after the manure has been turned into the soil.

Having nowg!anced at the general principles which ought to guide the farmer in cJllecting, 'preparing, and applying the elements of manures, whioh,.ln fact, are the elements of.'crops, we may proceed to speak of sundry manures in detail, and more particularly of such as we conceive to be within the reach o( therpajority of farm­ers in this, Pro~ince.

Stable· .'!fI[anuTe has been called the farmer's sheet anchor" and' is the first and 'best of fertilizers: not only does it serve directly as, food for crops but it disposes' other 'substances to ferment and resolve into the soluble nutriment of growing plants, ,by which process death and putrefaction ar,e, tr,ansfprmed ipto life and luxuriance.

This useful material consists of the dung of hor,ses,. cattle and 3wine,mixed with ~he litter, coarse hay, and weeds all trampled"moistened with urine and more or less decomposed: it is made up of' the pT{)ducts. and remains <if every kind of

, crop, and therefore contains those elements, from which every kind of crop maybe fed and reconstructed; chemically. its composition, is as complex as that of the crop itself, but carbon, l/Jater and silica" always constituto its bulkiest portion: both its composition and its power or va\'le is,holVe~·~r,. extremely variable: these de­pend partly on the proportion of: animal and vegetable matter, partly on the kind, the condition and the food of thp, stock,. partly 011 the time ,'!hich has elapsed since it wall dropped, and greatly according as. the liquids and gases evolved from it, have been allowed prematurely to escape or not,.

'l'he indifference, so generally shown throughout the Province, to the collection, preparation and economy of these. substances, is one of the greatest causes of the impoverished condition ohhe farms: in this direction, therefore,reformmust begin, /01' othel'wise there is no hope : without stable manure, which is the raw material of crops, no crops can be manufactured,. and the fermentable materials. cannot be fermented. It is rather surprising that although stable manure has been almost the sole dependance of the farmer.s.in this Province for the ifnprovement. of their land, there should have been at the s"me time such utter carelessness ill collecting and preserving it in its most ""Iuable condition: the practic'e o( throwing It out from the barn window from day to day,. so as, to expose it to, snow and rain, sun and wind, cann.ot be too strongly ~eprobated, for· it is easy to see that great part of its value is thus destroyed, and little remains but a shor~ stfaw,. which may be again culled over by cold, ill-fecl cattle, who seem thani<ful e1(en for that bite. In England it i •. now genel'ally admitted that stall or !!hed-feeding and soiling cattle is th~ most pro­fitable in evel'y way) one cow may thus be made to produce about mne tons of solid 'dUlla per annu.rn, but it may be some time before we can get labour cheap enought~ adopt this practice in New-Bruns,:vick: there is, however, one point which we cons.ider· to be ""ell worthy of attentIOn by all who are anxIOus to econo­mize in this direction; it is a frequent practice in this country at present to enclosp. a small ,piece of grotam] in a field near the road, and then to yard the cows from milking time in the evening until the next morning; it is qu!te common to see from five to twenty head of cattle thus brought tog.ether every mght dunng thesijmmet

148

~eason, while the valuable manure which t.hey make is left exposed to SUIT and raig until it becomes almost or quite worthless. This wasteful practice of manuring the ntmosphere as well as the soil, ought at once to be done away with, und in lieu therp,of WP. would recommend either that tbe cattle sbouM be put up in a well­littered and ventilated stable, or in the barn-yard, giving. tbem a bedding of straw, peat leaves, or even saw-dust. to absorb the urine, &c.; one ton of dry straw muy thus by skilful treatment be converted into three tons of manure. Where the pre­mises are sufficiently commodiou9, the different kindH of manure should be collected und l""pt apart until it is considered proper to mix them together, and the greatest care should always be taken to prevent the escape of tbe strong smelling ammonia­cal !{ltS, upon which, not only the fermentative but tbe Certilizing virtue of the ma­nure mainly depends: tbis may be done by using a cover or fixer, as already sug­"ested, by treading or beating the mass compactly together, or by saving the urine, ~nd keeping it apart from the solid dung. If we save the mass from washing by rain or anow water, we willlil,ewise economize not only ammonia but many other valuable ingredients. Another important object should be to prevent the com­mencement of fermentation nntitnea\' the time when the manure is to be applied to the soil. By covering with sods or bog earth, treading and pressing so us to pre­vent the access of HiI', and by keeping the whole cool and dry, we may easily effect this; while by forking, turning, evenly mixing, and moistening it (with urine, ifne­cessary,) during warm weather, we readily induce and regulate the putrefective fermentation: when once begun in the heaps, let it proceed steadily, and then, after one or two tnmings, apply it to tbe land in the spring or autumn ensuing, befor" the fermentation is completed, so that the latter part of the process may take place in t.he soil.

Long (or partially fermented) d1!ng is hest for clay lands, because tbe straw helps to open their texture: in our climate, when used o,n light soils, it is apt to be­come too dry, and to stop fermenting altogether: Short (orwell-rotted) dung is best for light land, and particularly for rool crops which germinate quickly and require a full supply of food from the beginning.

The flog Pen is an important source of manure for the compost yard: from one hog properly fed and Jittered we may make more than two waggon loads in a year: by using bog eartb for litter anu throwing in a handful of corn occasionally they wii'i incorporat3 tho bog earth with their droppings so as to give rise to a most va­lu"ble compost: hogs' dung ought always to be mixed with other manures. VVhere wany sheep, fowls, and pigeons are kept, much valuable matter also accumulates, ·,yhich ought to he saved: it will prove nearly ~s useful as Guano.

Few Farmers are aware of tbe value of the Urine tbat is suffered to be wasted (,n the Jarm in the course of a yc~r. :N eight for weigbt, the urine of animals may ne Gons,uered as powerful as theIr sohd excrements, and pains ought to be taken to "ave every drop of It. One cow passes about 1000 lbs. Df urine in a year and this '", '~Dnsidered in Flamlers to be worth £2, and to be a full manuring for one acre 0.1' bod. The urine of man and of the horse is aiso known to have a greater fertilizing­pawer than that of the COIV. Liebig says that the urine of one man for one year will manure an acre of land, and that a pound of urine contains the elements neces­~ary for one ~~und of grain. . ~Inch greater econ~my ought therefore to \}e practised 10 regard to hus substance "",Ieh lS so nch both In nitrogen and phosphates. By tne proper u~e of mould cr bog earth, much nf it may be saved, while tbe peat i.self is ma~e to ferment anil decDmpose therehy: a pit ca paule of containing twenty or thlfty loads of bog earth may be so arranged as to receive all tbe urine of ,i1e stables: anotber way is to build a proper reservoir to collect it, and in wbich it i" to be allowed to ~ermeut .fnr. a time,. then mixed with water and applied on grass or otber land; or, 10 the l~qU\d form It may be applied to the manure or compost heaps 6? as to pr~mnte thell' fermentation: on this snbject, London says (Ency­C£opred-Iu of .!llfT'lculture p. 3~~ ~ "'N e would strongly recnmmend tbe practice llf savrng unne 10 tanks to the l:fJttsb farmer, and not to. the farmer only but to every cottager who keeps a cow or plg; nay to the cottager who is without these comforts,

149

but who haB a garden, in which he could turn the great accession of manure so ae­<In ired to due account. Let him sink five tubs or large earthen vessels in the "round and let the contents of the portable receiver of his water closet, all the wate~ used for washing in the house, soap suds, slops and fermentable offal. of every descrip­tion during a week be carried into one of those tubs: and if not full on the Saturday night, let it be filled up with water of any kind, well stirred up, the lid replaced and the whole left for a week. Begin on the Monday morning with another tub, and when after five weel!s the whole five are filled, empty the first at the roots of a growing crop and refill. Or use tw'O large tubs, and continue filling one for a month, and at the end 'Of a month empty the first, and so on. "

The Draini~gs of the p~ng-heap ought never to be allowed to be lost: they are of very vanable composItIOn, but are often more valuable than the urine alone­they are liquid manure of the best kind. By the nse of bog earth to absorb them or by means of properly constructed drains it will be easy to economize the whole.

Night-soil is anotber most important manure, one bushel of it when dried and powdered is said to be equal to a load of stable manure-the reason of the difference is, that the food of man is flesh and the flour of the grain, which is ricbinnitrogen and phosphoric acid, while that of cattle and their litter (lonsists chiefly of stalks and leaves. Weight for weight, it is therefore the most fertilizing of all applications to tbe land, and it seems but poor economy to be sending to Peru for Guano, while we are recklessly wastefnl of a fertilizer which is quite as valuable, and within our reach. Human soil may be carried off by a sewer from the Idtchen sink whicb passes through the vault to any proper reservoir lined with muck, and prepared to receive it: or, by a little forethought, it might easily he removed in a much less of­fensive and inconvenient way than it is done at present. Get, for instance, a tigbt box of deal, sa;y 4 feet long and 3 wide and 2~ high, secure it to a pair of rougb, strong runners m the sbape of a common wood sled, with a tongue and roller, and place the wbole under tbe seat of the building: as soon as this is conveniently full, throw in some charcoal dust, bog eartb, marl, plaster, or saw-dust, or a combination of two or more of tbese, whicb will destroy tbe smell: then attach tbe horses or oxen and remove the whole to a proper place, empty it, and retnrn it again as before~ The night soil is best used in a powdel·ed state, and for this purpose it is only ne­cessary to spread it on tbe ground in layers of 3 inches thick, and cover witb about half an inch of charcoal dust and plaster or dry hog earth, or charred peat, or asbes, or mould or charred clay; in a short time the whole mass will be dry and can be rc­duoed to a fine mould either by running fl roller over it, or by beating it witb the back of fl shovel. It will then bave lost its smell and may be used as a compost with the seed for a drill crop, or as a top dressing at the last harrowing, at the rat" of ten bushels per acre.

In regard to the general treatment of Home-manure it is to be observed that in point of economy this valuable material should rarely if ever be used alone, but rather incorporated witb some other materials to wbich the fermentative tendency lUay be communicated; of these tbe most generally accessible is Peat 01· Bog-ea,1·th. This is a ,qubstnnce which of itself is inert and uselllss if not pusitively injurious to land, but wbicb by skill may be rendered soluble ~nd nutritive to crops. Mixtures of Bog-earth 01· saw-dust with otber materials capable of quickening and decompos­ing it come undCl· tbe general head of composts or mixed manurep, and rna y be used advantageously on any but peaty soils. Bog occ,urs either on tbe upland wbere it is dry, more or less mixed with bits of decayed wood and earthy matter, or on low meadow lands, and contains many fibron. roots and stems of coarse grasses of sub­aquatic plants: both of the above are black in .oolour. It also occurs in swam'pH and spruce barrens, wbere it consists almost wholly of gray, wet and spongy or ~Iimy moss.

These varieties all consist of vegetable substance, which bavedecomposed, thouah only to a limited extent, by the chilling influence of tbe c1im~te, and tile abundance of stagnant watel". Tbe term Peat is applipd to tbe denser varietie~, .and .l'Ifuck to those which are loose: tbe lo08e eartby I<inas differ also in quality.:

1M

\he best kinds are those which hive been chieH" 'forined from hard 'wood, the ne:!;\ from soft wood. Pond n~ud is another yariety' with less vegetable and'more eartby matter.

Peat eartb, we have said, is generall~ accessible in the pr(jvi~,ce, and i~ fa~t there are here facilities for procuring it which are soOlewhat pecuhar, t~at IS" ~t may always bedug and dried in the sum~er, and .by ~leans of the snow 11 may' alvo:ays be readily bauled and brought home III sleds III wlllter to the c,a-tlle y.ard or shel;(, or on to the field: ',in 'spots which could never be., reacbed by wheels. It may become accessible on runners:; 'farmers who refuse to get out tbe 'bog stuff In summer, and to haul ilin winter are justly chargeable with neglect of their best interests: if it were once 'gene'rally'underst?o? tbat this material contai~s many of the best eleme~t8 of barn yard manure, 'that ,m fact a cord' of ;pea~ ~ontal~s as much useful materIal as the manure'of a cow for tbl'ee months, that It IS readily fermentabla, and that nature peculiarly'favors !lur desig~s'for getting at it to pmc.ure .them, we believ{l there will be no lack of either of WIll or of ways to procure It: If there be a preJu­dice agaiust peat as an elelnent of composts,. '~t can only ha va arisen from an inad,e­quate lmowl~dge o(its'virtues, and if it ha~ hitherto (ailed., .it has i;'een frOlQ an ~mo proper manufacture of the compost, most probably from an 1.l1sufficlent ferm,el1tatJon 'of the mass. '

Having looked out a convenient place to proeuFe this useful material, ~he 6r~t step is to dry it : fresh peat contains a'bout 75 per cent. of water, and, eV,e)1 wh~n called dry it still holds abo'u't 10 per cent. : this drying roay be effected in pa,'! by draining or trenching the ground where it occurs, but more easily by digging it out at a convenient season, either in the summer or winter, pilillg it into. heaps, and leaving it for some months 0'1' even a wlfole season to the full in6uence of light, l!,ir and mosture ; by these agencies it cl'umbles to powder and parts with much Qf th.e. sour or antiseptic principles which it otiginally had: having got it thoroughly dry and crumbled, the next step is to cause it to tot or decay, and becQme, converted into the soluble forms required for the food of plants. There are various 'Mays of doing this, but they all resolve themselves into composting with materials rich in alkali. This alkali, whether it be Ammonia, Potash, Soda or Lime, soon di»poses the peat earth to fermentation and reduces it to a state of great efficiency as a ferti­lizer. Ammonia is most accessible in urine orfresb stable manure" Potash and Soda are the characteristic constituents of Ashes. and Lime in any quantity may be easily :procured. , In warm weather one part of animal substance will cause ten parts of dry peat to

ferment, or one hundred pounds of flesh properly cut up and mixed, will decompose about one 'thousand pounds of peat, and a dead horse will decomp,!se five or six eords of it: a barrel of fish or fish refuse, or a hogshead of urine will deeompose a 'cord: from a half to a fourth of fresh stable manure will be sufficient to iI;ldllce heating and decomposition, and produce a compost which is said tQ be as efficaeiQus as. an equal weight of unmixed farm yard manUFe in enriching the lnnd for a roo,! crop, and ()ITe-fourth or less of sea weed will serve the same purpose, so that when these princ'iples are fairly understood there. need be no difficulty in procuring abund­ant meuns of fertility for the land,.

Pea t earth may likewise be decomposed by wood ashes either leached or unleach­ed: it takes about four bushels of the former, and twice as much of the latter to induce ferOlentation in one cord of peat. When a bushel of lime is added to a.load 'Of wet mnck, the water of the peat will slack the lime, decomposition wi!! be set up and the whole brought into a useful form for top dr<i\ssing young clover &c.· a better way is to dis~olve a bus~.el of salt in water, and to mix it with ten bushel; of lime until it is thoroughly slacked and moistened: let tha mass remain for a week inore, and then be added to three cords of peat, shovelled over for about six weeks and then applied to the soil. By mixing salt with lime, soda and the chloride of lime are formed, both of which are very excellent fertilizers. On the whole how­eyer, it will be more generally advantageous to combine the. abQve material; ill the same compost: thus we )11a y milt one load of stable manure with three of bQg earth

"'

A good compost, suffj.cient for "11 acre of ground, may be made of forty bushels af mould fro,!, the woods, five, bushel" of ashes, five bushels of bone dust, and thirty gallons. of m'ine; when this is mixed in heaps 'and shoyelled ov~r, it becomes emi­nently fertilizing.

'1;'~~ ~o).lowing compost i. slilid, on good authority, to b~superjo.r eVen to guano:

P'ea't earth, or saw dust, 40 bushels, Bone dust, 7 bushels, Quick Lime, 20 bushels, Boal 'I'ncr, - 20 !1;allons, ,Oommon Salt, l~ cwt. Epsom Salt, l~ C\yt. Glau'ber Salt, 1 cwt.

The whole to be mixed in a heap and all~wed to heat or ferment.

Another compost may be made of a mixture of lime and ashes.' with weed~, ~wigs, leaves, potato haulms, brakello, raspberry bushes, nettles, chip rubbish, and other ref USA vegetable matters. This compost will nec~ssarily vary very mu(.h iu composition; if lime be scarce ang. woody fibre abundant in it, its value will be but small, Another common CO\11pOSt may be made of farm yard manure, lime, soot, 'scrapings of roads, sods, sweeping of ditches, pools or ponds, hillocks from old pns­"tures, and allldnds of rough and waste mixtures of earthy veg;etable matters: the lime &honW l:>e mixed with the earth in ~ separate heap, and adde(! in layers to the other from time to time. These heaps may be formed in the yard, the field, or by the roacl ~des : the great principle is to leI nothi1!g b~ lost, and the more of these compost heaps and " dirt pies" that are to be seeu in any neighbourhood, the mDre favorably would we augur of the illdu~try, intelligllnce, thrift, and profits of the Farmer. '

W <\ need hardly point out the value of Salt Man;h Mud to farmers on th~ sea­board: we are happy to say that many of the farmers along the shores of the Bay of Fltlldy are actively engaged in renovating their worn out uplands by th~ mud of the llluF,hes. On the large scale, the enterprising men of Westmorland are cover­,ing waste hog or marsh land by letting i\l the mud4y ti,de waters of the Bay, and leaving the sediment or warp, nO,t to improve the old, hut absolutely to n:ake 'new.Jund. The Toler Canal and the Bots(orq Canal are perh'lps the most SIgnal 'and 'successful monuments of Agricultural industry in N\lw-Brunswick-rnany :thlJ1!lsa~d acres of swamp and warer have ~hus been redeemed and converted into "V~iIINable hay land.

152

Wood .I1shes contain a great many of the necessary elements of fertility, (but of course can only supply the ash, or mineral portion of.any crop;) even when leach.ed­they must be regarded as useful additions to the sOlI; German, and even Enghsh farmers often haul them from a distance of twenty miles, and, if they are to be had, either leached or unleached, they ought to be carefully sa ~ed for the land. The composition of any given heap of wood ashes is yery vanable, but alway~, even when leached, they contain a considerable proportIOn of the phosphates whICh are so essential for grain crops, and. when mixed with bone dust, a~e fou~d n~arly to double its effect. We have already spoken of them as a useful mgredlent m com­posts, and we may further add, that to land already in good ~eart, ~ compound of bone-dust and wood ashes will always be extremely beneficIal: eIght bushels of bone-dust and twenty-four of ashes mixed and moistened with urine for two or three months, form a capital compost for an acre of Turnips. _

Oharcoal is also an excellent article for the farmer, and there IS no excuse but iirnor3nce to be offered for his neglect of it. Like peat, it consists of vegetable sub­stance, partially decomposed, but still rich in the elements of productiveness.

It is admirably fitted to absorb and retain the gases of fermenting manures, and when mixed in a state of powder with the soil, to decay and yield them up again, as well as its own substance to the crops. After the coal is burned, the large lumps can be readily broken with an axe or maul, and then reduced to powder on the barn floor by passing a heavy roller over it: it may be used advantageously for any crop, and on any soil at the rate of 40 bushels to an acre: or it may be used with some of the composts.

Soot is also" useful fertilizer: and when mixed with salt it is said to be most especially favourable to carrots, potatoes or wheat. Farmers who live near the sea should never neglect the valuable resources which they have in Sea-weeds. Scotch and Irish farmers spare no pains. in collecting this material, and after a storm they sometimes pass the night in hauling it beyond the reach of the waves. Sea weed contains more nitrogen and saline matter than land p!o.nts, and ferments more readily: its application to land is therefore g"eatly calculated to increase its produc­tiveness for a season. It may be ploughed in at once, or it may be used as a top dressing to grass lands, or it may be advantageously compos ted with stable manure, eartb, lime, peat moss or marl, turning over the mixture once or twice before using it. The ash of sea weed ma kes an excellent top-dressing, but it is not so likely to be used as the plant itself in the green or dry state.

Eel grass or sea wrack, when green, makes a very good manure for clay soil, or it may be used as litter in the stables and hog pens: after it has become wind dried, it may he made to ferment in the compost heap, or it may be burnt and its ashes added to compost heaps.

Where Fish, or refuse fish or fish garbage can be had, they can be turned to good account by the farmer, although, by reason of their rapid decomposition, their effect. on the land are rather transient, and they are said to be rather injurious to the land if ploughed in the fresh condition: they should therefore always be composted with peat or muck and soil, or with marl or wood-ashes and sea-weed. These mixtures ue known to be excellent for roots or grains.

Green Manures or the ploughing under of growing crops may be mentioned ~ mong the means of renovating our light and worn-out land: leafy 'and juicy plants hke cl~ver or buckwheat, are generally preferred for this purpose: the practice of ploughl1lg crops under has in some cases in this Province been attended with the very best effects: but it will probably be some time before our settlers can be per­suaded to forego 11 crop for the season on this account: in some case", however, it may be the most ~onven~en.t ":fay of renovating land wh:-n farm yard manure is scarc~ and expensIve: stIli It IS ~nly a temporary expedIent, because no young, lea.fy pl"~ts can supplX to the s~nl, all tho~e elements (nitrogen and phosphoric ,:ctd) whl~h are espeCially reqUlred by gram crops. When clover is to be used, it IS sown. with t~e green crops of the previous year, and ploughed nnder late in the succeed mg sprmg before the plant has blossomed: or the second growtb of clover

153

may be plough'ed in the fall. When buckwheat is to be used in this way, it must be sown aeparately, and ploughed in once or perhap~ even twice in the same season, before the stalks have begun to grow hard and woody: it is asserted by some that these green, leafy plants derive nearly three-fourths of all their substance from the atmosphere; so that, if so, the theory of green manures is simple enough.

When the farmer can afford to buy any portablEl manures, Bone-dust and Guano are probably the best which he can select. There will always be a saving with them in the cost of carriage and delivery on the land. One drawback is however their liability to be adulterated. This is often most unscrupulously done even to the extent 0[,80 or 90 per cent., and the farmer 6ught to be fully upon his guard against imposition. Our object in the present report is, to point out the way to economize the manure which the farmer has at his command, rather than to detail the various ways in which money may be laid out on those of whose value he is ignorant. Bone-dust consists partly of animal matter, and partly of that kind of mineral mat­ter which is absolutely necessary for cereal crops, and which naturally occurs in very small quantity in the soil: its active principles are most probably nitrogen and phosphoric acid. Its price in Boston last summer, was two shillings and six pence per bushel, and probably it could hardly be sold under four or five shillings in the interior of this Province: if land is otherwise in good condition, eight bushels are said to go as far as thirty tons of manure for a root crop, but unless the bone-dust could be had· proportionally lower than the manure, it will not probably meet with a general sale in the country. We understand that it is intended to erect one or two Bone-mills in this Province: they are deserving of every encouragement, and this Society or the Legislature might very properly offer some pecuniary aid to the establishment of an efficient Bone-mill in some central place to be hereafter deter­mined. Farmers might also now begin to collect bones, which migbt hel'eafter be grotmd at snch mills.

Bone-dust should be drilled in with the seeds for' a green crop at the rate of seven or eight bushels per acre, or sowed as a top-dressing with any cereal crop at the rate of ten bushels per acre, before the last harrowing; they may also be made to go farther by being composted with wood-ashes, sheep's dung, dried night soil, &c. Bones answer best on light dry soils, but do not wholly replace the bulkier stable manure.

The use of the Drill in the application of bone-dust and all such manures as will admit of it, is always to be recommended on the score of efficiency and economy.

We have now directed the attention of those who are interested in the subject of manures to the most accessible of those substances which, being themselves ofve­getable or animal origin, are, on that account pre-eininently qualified to become the nourishment of new generations of plants and animals, and we have endeavoured to treat of tbem Ivith as few scientific phrases and theoretical views as could WQll be emploved in aay attempt to inculcate correct principles: it has been deemed that the clear ~pprehension of a few leading principles might be of more service tban the pe­rusa I of many pages of what is called practical details.

Orops require to be fed at certainly as children do: 1JWnUI'es are the food of

crops: whatever has been part qf a living plant or animal may after dccompo~':­tion a,gain become food for gTowing plants or animals: l'cnder back to the f,eld an e,q1J,ivalentfoTwhat you have taken in the crop: it is Inuch easier to kccjlland in condition than to bring it up to condition: gather up thefmgments, let no­thing be lost: save your manure for the crops, waste not its viri1!eS on the river or the atmosphere: without manure no grain crop, without c?,ttle no mar;ure, without green crops, no cattle :-these are a few short,rules to .gUlde t~e p~'actlCe ?f farmers, and if they become thoroughly incorporated m the SOil of their mmds, Will

Lime is a substance which has been long known for its b.E\lI1)ficiaJ effects upon 1alld, and may be added with advantage to most of our soils: Analysil! b~ shown that it is generally deficient in tbe soils of New England ar.d New-BrunswlCk, aI,ld that such is the case even in the limestone districts.

Its application i~ this Province will, however, be chiefly determined by its price when delivered at any given place, and by the means and intelligence of the fanner. l~im~stone is a n,tural compollnd of lime and carbon'tc IIcid, though it generally cOl)tains few other substances in combination.

Quick lime is procured by burning off the carbonic acid in a kiln, by which pro­cess one ton of limestone is reduced to about eleven hundred weight oflime. Water­slacked lime consist~ of lime in combination with water, every ton of lime being thus made t.o cQ1nlil,ine with about six hunATed weight of water in the process of slacking, and which brings it to that state of powder which best fits it for the uses of the far­mer. Air-slacked lime is a compound of lime with water and carbonic acid deriv­ed from the atrnos;>here, in fact, a sort df powdery mixtnre of mild lime and slacked lime. Hot lime and mild lime act much in the Same way upon land, only the ef· fect of Ihe former is more rapid aild energetic,

Lime has little or no action on vegetable or animal substances as long as tbey are dry, but if they bein a moist or fermenting condition, lime pron10tes decomposic tion a!1d disposes the whole to a more rapid and thorough decay, it fa vours at the same time tbe production of those materials from the air, Ihe soil (silica potash and the phosphates), and the decaying mass which especially sustain the fertil'ity of the land. Lime also helps to kill moss in land, to destroy insects, to neutralize " sourness," and being itself slowly dissolved becomes 11 direct nourishet of plan.ts, into whose composition it always enters, though not in very large quantity, as it is only found in their ashes.

It is most important for the farmer to know that Lime of itself is not an important manure, but that its ·value mainly depends upon its power to liberate materials lock­ed up in the soil itself, and to dispose dead or inert vegetahle matter to decay and hecome fit for food to crops: if land be destitute of vegetable ma'ter lime will be of .no use, if it be poor in vegetable matter or manure, lime will hasten the conv.ersion und removal of them under a solubleform, but ifit be applied on land which already contains a fair proportion of these it will greatly enhance hoth the quality of the land and the Cl'Op. vYith the liber::tJ use of manure or compost there need be little fear of over-liming.

For dry and light soils less lime will be !'equired than on wet and heavy land, but 'from fiye to ten b.ushels of quick lillie per acre added annually to the arable land of this country will be found to be of great permanent advantage, and if it is wished (0

apply it only once in the rotation it must still be done at the above rate, Lime may be applied in the form of COIJ;lpost as has been before explained, and

ifit is thought advisable to apply it as toJ.! dressing to meadow lund, it is good prac­tice to haul ancl spread it on the meadow iu the fall when the snow is two or three inches deep.

There ate some othpr sub~tances rich in lime and which act upon the same prin-ciple, which to many farmer. may prove accessible where lime is not: these are

1st. Shells, which when curn! are as good as lime.

2d. Sea Sand, Shell Sand and Mud, which form an excellent top dressing. '3d . .i¥Iussel Mud, which is good either to be ploughed in while moist or when

.campostcd with manure, ¢c. These generally contain animal as well as mineral mattet. .

The first practical public use of the electric telegraph in the .U nit~d State.s was for announcing at Washington the no"!inati?n of one orth? ~resl~entlal candIdates (Mr. Polk), by the Baltimore conventiOn, In 1844. . ThIs IntellIgence w~s !rans­mitted over the experimental line (of ~6 .miles) bUIJ~ under an .appr.opnn!lOn of thirty thousand dollars from Conoress. rhls short sectIOn was buIlt WIth thIs mo­ney by Professor Morse and his partner, Mr. F. O. J. Smith-which latter gentle­man obtained an interest of one-fourth in Morse's patents, when Professor Morse first applied for governmental aid. .

In 1845, the first lines were constructed by indiv.idual enterpnse-the govern­ment declininG" to buy the telegraph patent, or to furmsh any more money to extend the system beyond W ushington or Baltimore.

The contract between Professor Morse and Henry O'Reilly, which has for several years been a fruitful subject of controversy and litigation, was executed on the 13th June, 1845, before a mile of telegraph was built by individual enterprise in America.

The lines commenced in 1845, were, with the exception of two or three short sections, not brou"ht into use till the spring or summer of 1846. The longest line first brought fully into use in America was one extending between Washington and New-York; the first despatches that passed over which line appeared simultaneous, in the newspapers of New-York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, on the 6th June, 1846.

Amid the turmoil which has prevailed, for several years between certain parties, about telegraphic matters, it may be mentioned as a singular fact, that the first con­gratulatory despatches which ever passed over an American telegraph (as shown by the public records) were between Professor Morse and Henry O'Reilly. Mr. O'R., who constructed a large portion of that line, sent his" respects to Professor Morse-announcing the successful connection of the Hudson and Potomac by links of lightning' '-and the answer being returned, that" Professor Morse congratulates Mr. O'Reilly on the succe,s of his labors."

The lines from New York to Buffalo and from New York to Boston were com­pleted in the same year :-the first, by Messrs. Faxton & Co. : and the latter by F. O. J. Smith (one of the patentees), and his associates. Mr. O'Reilly and his asso­ciates extended their lines across the Allegany mountains to the Ohio river, at Pitts­burgh, during the same year. The first despatch over that section of O'Reilly's line having transmitted to the President of the United States a despatch from the Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, announcing the departure of the Pennsylvania troops from Pittsburgh for Mexico, in the last days of December, 1846.

There are now four modes of telegraphing employed on different lines in the IT nited States.

First, and to the largest extent as yet, the Electro-jl{agnetic Telegraph, patented b~ P~ofessor Morse, (for they are used on the portion of O'Reilly's lines, included WIthIn the range of the contract between him and Professor Morse).

Second, and next largest in extent of lines whereon they are used, the Electro­Chemical Telegraphic inventions, patented to Alexander Bain.

Third-The invention (not yet patented) of Zook & Barnes, called the" Co­lumbian Telegraph," which works by the joint influence of Permanent and Tem­porary (or Electro) magnetism.

Fourth-The Letter-PrintingTelegraph, patented by Professor Royal E. House. The whole extent of telegraph lines in the United States can not be set down with

entire accuracy, but may be estimated at about twelve or thirteen thousand miles.,­on some of which lines several wires, and on others but a single wire, 11re employed.

The nvet"age rates of charge for telegraphic despatches may be set down at twenty ce;:>ts for ten words, and one cent for each additional word, for 150 miles and under; thIrty cents for ten wor.ds, and two cents for each additional word, for distances be­tlVe~? 150 and 300 l~lles; and forty cents for ten words, and three cents for each addItIonal wor~, for distances. between 300 and 500 miles. No extra charge is made on any hne, for date, sIgnature, or addres~'-!A.brjdg.d from raImer's Almanac.
