BARNY m MANURE FOR OATS.
The oat plant has been called, sometimes,
a gross feeder. In one sense, it may be so;
but in another, it is not so. Manure may
bo applied to the soil, in one instance with
great benefit, in producing an increased
amount of grain per acre; while, under
other circumstances, the same kind of
manure may be the means of diminishing
the quantity- of grain per acre a great
many bushels. -
Barnyard manure, while in a coarse and
unfermented condition, should seldom, if
ever, be applied directly to tbe soil, to im
prove its productiveness for a crop of oats.
There are, however, some ipstances in
which barnyard manure', that is in a tolei
ably coarse condition, may be applied, when
it would be tbe means ot increasing the
amount of grain one half, and perhaps
more than that amount, per acre.
. In case, for example, a soil were a very
compact, stubborn, calcareous clay, or
gravelly clay, or a beavy soil oi any kind
of earth, which is accustomed to bake
under the influence of drenching rains and
scorching sunshine, if barnyard manure be
spread thin, the bunches picked to small
pieces before being plowed under, the ma
nure will exert a two-fold influence on the
crop—a mechanical effect by rendering the
heavy ground more porous, and a chemical
influence, by supplying an abundance of
such nourishment as is essential to promote
the luxuriant growth and abundant fructi
fication of the panicles.
On the contrary, if barnyard manure
that has not been composted should be
applied to a friable soil of almost any kind,
and particularly if that soil were a deep
black muck, full of vegetable matter, which
. would promote a luxuriant and rank growth
of straw, the manure would have the effect
to stimulatfe the young plant so highly,
that the crop would be all straw —and per
haps laid flat —with only a very limited
yield of grain. The most satisfactory way
of applying barnyard manure to any soil,
for the purpose of increasing its produc
tiveness, when oats are the principal grain
to be raised, is, to spread and plow it under
in late autumn, rather than in the spring
of the year. — N. Y. Observer.
ECONOMY IS WEALTH.
There is nothing which goes so far to
ward placing young people beyond the reach
ot poverty, as proper economy in the mana
gement of household lt matters
not whether a man furnishes little or much
in his family, if there is a continued leak
age in his parlor; it runs away, he knowß
not how, and that demon Waste cries
“ More 1” like the horse-leech’s daughter,
till he that provides has no more to give.
It should be the husband’s duty to bring
into the house; and it is the duty of the
wife to see that none goes wrongfully out
of it. A man gets a wife to look after his
affairs, and to assist him in his; journey
through life; to educate and prepare their
children .for a proper station in life, and
not to dissipate his property. The hus
band’s interest should be the wife’s care,
and her greatest ambition to carry her no
further than his welfare or happiness, to
gether with that of her children. This
should be her sole aim, and the theatre of
her exploits in the bosom of her family,
where she may do as much toward making
a fortune as he can in the counting room or
the work-shop. It is not the money earned
that makeß a man wealthy, it is what he
saves from his earnings. Self-gratification
in dress, or indulgence in appetite, Or get
ting handsomer furniture, or entertaining
more company than his purse can well
allow, are equally pernicious.
THE CLOVER WORM,
M. C. R. Sennett, of New York, fur
nishes the K Y. Rural the following infor
mation about this pest: —In the proceed
ings of the American Institute Farmers’
Club, some weeks since, there was an ac
count given of a new pest to farmers' in the
form ot a small w#rm which feeds upon
clover in the stack, during , the winter. It
was there stated that it was known only *at
the West, but was apparently working East
ward. Late observation has satisfied me
that it has already reached this vicinity.
“ Having occasion, a few days since, to
move’ a stack of clover hay, I found the.
bottom of it, for two feet from the ground,
full of small, brown worms, about five
eights of an inch long, tapering each way,
ridged, with the extremities somewhat
darker than the center. The hay was
mixed through with their excrement, and
in spots was white with their cocoons, hav
ing the appearance of a white mold, which
I took it to be, until on unloading the hay
I found the wagon alive with these agents
of destruction. Their habits, as yet, seem
to be little known, but my own observation
in connection with previous accounts of
them, leads me to fear that they are to add
one more to the many troublesome and de
structive pests of farmers.”
MINED STOCK IN PASTURE,
I noticed, some time ago, a good deal
written about keeping a mixed stock on
pastures. As I have been a keeper of stock
Irom very early youth until now, I venture
to give my opinion. And first, I have
found sheep to do very well amongst cattle,
but cattle do badly amongst sheep. To
prove it let the farmer take the fodder left
by cattle, even when part of it has been
trodden under their feet, and if the sheep
. are not fully fed, they will see the sheep
eat it up very greedily; then let him take
what his sheep leaves and offer it to his
cattle, and he will find they won’t taste it
if they'can get anything else; or let him
turn his milch cows in a sheep pasture, and
he will find them fail in milk. Cattle do
well where horses pasture. In proof of
this, every farmer must have seen that
cattle will eat the litter of horses, even if
fully fed, but horses won’t eat what cattle
leave unless compelled to do so. But
horses and sheep will do well in some pas
* tures, especially the borseß. To prove thiß,
let the farmer turn out the sheep-from their
yards, turn in bis horses, and they will eat
up all the sheep, have left, even the litter
around the racks. —John Johnston .
GYPSUM IN STABLES.
Gypsum should be sprinkled daily over
the floors and tie-ups, to absorb the ammonia
of the urine. The strong odor observable
on entering the stable on a morning arises
from the presence of ammonia, one of the
most valuable products of stable manure
when properly economized. Gypsum and
lime, either slacked or caustic, should also
be Sprinkled over the bottoms of cellars in
the spring. This will tend to purify the at
mosphere, and prevent many deleterious
effects resulting from the presence of
miasma. After a few days it should be
removed, and a fresh supply substituted in
its place. Wherever there is a close at
mosphere of any putrescent matter in a
state of fermentation, gypsum should be
liberally used. When gypsum is not to be
obtained, lime may be used. —Germantown
Telegraph.
SEWER RATS KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.
'A. new and curious use of electricity is
now made in the Paris sewers. There, as
is well known, the rats swarm by millions.
Wires one hundred metres long, insulated
by glass feet from the ground, and con
nected with a strong galvanic battery, are
spread through these subterranean walks.
Little pieces of roast meat are attached to
these wires at short distances, and the rats,
by nibbling at the bait, bring down the
galvanic shock with terrific power upon
their bodies. Death is instantaneous, and
the morsel, moreover, remains almost in
tact, ready to destroy other victims.

THE’ALDKN MACHINE.
There are two things which, hitherto, it
has been held could not be done by ma
chinery—to think and to set type. Per
haps there is quite mischief enough done
at. the former task with the facilities nature
has provided us, without asking for more.
If an editor or a parson could put a quire
of paper under his pillow or in his hat, and
find, after due and patient waiting, that his
editorials or his sermons were written there
on ready for the printer, it would be ques
tioned whether the world would be benefit
ted thereby, as the world, probably, has its
thinking done for it now quite as fast as is
good for it. But there is no question of
the usefulness of printing, and labor saving
machinery in that art is as desirable as in
any other. By the Alden machine, this
great end is at length, we believe, gained.
Many of our readers have doubtless heard
of it for the last half-dozen years. From
its first germ in the brain of Timothy
Alden, once a compositor in this office, it
has grown, during that period, through
numberless difficulties and over formidable
obstacles, to the present fact. The great
fact is, that hour after hour, day after day,
the machine in the hands of a skillful
workman, will set tjpe rapidly, correctly,
and uninterruptedly. Put to practical
.work, set, so to speak, to earn its own
living, we believe that in one week's time
it would do, with two attendants, the work
in the office of a daily newspaper of at least
four men in any given number of hours.
The practical printer will readily under
stand, and even the unpractical public can
comprehend, that this, if true, must needs
make an era in the art of printing. The
work of human muscles and nerves is mul
tiplied by an ingenious complication of iron
and steel, and the result must be, as it
always is m the introduction of labor-saving
machinery, that perfection and increased
advantage follow use, and that there will
be,, not fewer printers, but more and
cheaper printing. The field of labor, is en
larged; to meet the new demand, a new
branch of industry is created, and to the
old hand-work, not always the most elevat
ing to the craftsman, is added brain-work,
which makes a better man of him. Though
Mr. Alden did not live to see the practical
realization of his idea, the machine is now
essentially as he left it, changed only in the
correction of such imperfection of minute
details as are always and inevitably devel
oped in the practical working of all new
machinery. His name is immortal as the
creator of a new industry and the benefac
tor of an old one.
We have had the Alden machine under
close and watchful observance in this build
ing for many months, and we have seen it
put, under very great disadvantages, to the
severest tests. It is a beautiful piece of
mechanisffi, apparently exceedingly compli
cated, and yet exceedingly simple. The
problem the inventor set himself to solve
was, to take a designated letter from a cer
tain point and deliver it, at the command
of a touch upon a key, at another. This is
one motion-—the setting. The second is
tp take up type without any order than that
given by a “ nick” on the type, and drop
it at another given point —and this is ' its
distribution. Both these operations go on
at one and the same time. We attempt no
detailed description, meaning only to ex
plain that the machine, by certain nicks
upon the body of the type, by certain ad
justments to those nicks, and the constant
multiplication of all its parts, is enabled to
set type by direction of the touch upon the
alphabetical keys, to distribute type at the
same time, and to do both with an accuracy
as unerring as the hand and eye of the
operator can direct, and with a degree of
rapidity even now Bix times as great as that
of the human type-setter. But beside the
operator there must be another workman to
“justify” the type delivered, and when
both these are skilled workmen, or work
women, it needs practice only to enable
them to do the work of six type-setters. In
other words, it is provbd beyond a perad
venture that the machine can set 4000 ems
per hour, with one operator and one “jus
tifier.” To set 660 ems per hour is the
task of an ordinary type-setter at the case.
After careful and patient observation, we
can see no reason why this amount of work
may not be the practical result of the ma
chine’s labor from year's end to year’s end.
Of course it must have skillful operators,
and in its continuous use it is not impossi
ble that in some minute details corrections
and improvements are yet to be made, as
the case is in all new machines. But pa
tient and candid trial, it seems to us, is all
that is necessary to put them, as fast as
they can be manufactured, into our book and
newspaper offices to do that work in which,
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1866.
since the invention of printing, there has
been no advance. The almost universal belief
hitherto has been that, till mechanism
could be made to think, it could not be
made to supply the place of the human
eyes and fingers and brains in fixing the in
telligent juxtaposition of types for printing.
The curious and ingenious adjustment of
parts to parts, multiplied and duplicated in
infinite variety, in the Alden machine has
overcome the limit beyond which’ it was
thought machinery cmild not go. Given
an automatic type-setter perfect in that
work, and the rest is easy. This the Alden
machine is. Intelligence and patience in
its use will finish the work, and art makes
a new conquest. The invention is in the
hands of gentlemen of large means, who
have spared no outlay to bring it to its
present condition, and a manufactory, under
the direction of Mr. C. C. Yeadon, to whose
energy and perseverence its present,devel
opment is mainly due, is already in work
ing condition to produce the machines as
fast as they are wanted. —A r . Y. Tribune.
SCIENCE IN FRANCE.
Two eminent chemists have sent to the
Academy of Sciences 'a learned memoir on
“ the transmutation of metals,” which they
state to he feasible, and on their method ot
transmuting several of the other metalß into
gold, a feat which they claim ’to have ac
complished. The Abbe Caselli has given
a lecture, illustrated by diagrams and ex
periments with his machine, in the amphi
theatre of the School of Medicine, on the
system of telegraph which bears his name
and which reproduces the exact writing or
other design transmitted by the operator.
The students were so much interested by
the lucid explanations of the learned in
ventor, who spoke in French, that they
cheered him vehemently at various stages
of his demonstration, and passed a unani
mous and enthusiastic vote of. thanks at the
close. And a society has been formed at
Magdeburg with a view to ascertain the
truth of the solemn declaration contained
in the testament of the’ late Dr. Julius
Fischweiler, of that town, recently deceased
there, at the age of one hundred and nine,
to the effect that his unusual length of life
and the mental and physical vigor he en
joyed to the last, are due simply to his hav
ing always slept with his head due north,
and his 'feet, consequently, turned to the
south, by which means the iron in the
blood has been constantly magnetized by
the currents of terrestial magnetism, and
the vital energies of the system constantly
I renewed.— The Nation.
Manure in Sewage.- —By analytic in
vestigations, in London, it has been demon
strated that the value of the ammonia con
tained in the sewage of .that city is worth
two dollars annually for each individual in
the population. If this be so, the sewage
of Philadelphia,-, which annually runs to
waste in the neighboring rivers, must sbe
worth, for fertilizing purposes, at leaßt

Ireland is erroneous, large beds of it being
found in the interior of Pennsylvania.

Volume I. of this‘History, published almost two
years later than the first part of nearly every other,
already includes among its patrons full 25.000 of the
purchasers of those early works, and is everywhere
recognized as the highest authority, even by the
author's political opponents.
Volume 11. will be ready in a few months—at the
earliest day on which a well prepared history of the
war can be.obtained. The entire work, inimitable
alike in excellence of plan and detail, will be vastly
superior to any of those now completed, (most ef
which were * completed’’ long Before Gen. Grant’s
report was made,) and by far tbe most satisfactory
Hist .ry of the late stupendous struggle—altogether
unequalled lor clearness, fulness, ami accuracy of
statements, combined with candor and uraphic de
lineation of events.
If completed as designed, the work will be authori
ty as to the events of the most wonderful era in the
history ol the Country.—A, G. Curtin, Governor of
Pennsylvania.
It would be difficult to place too high an estimate
on the service Mr. Greeley has rendered our country
by the preparation of this volume. * * * I await
the forthcoming of the second volume with eager ex
pectation.—Wm. D. Kelley, M. C.
It bears the marks of labor, studied candor and
accuracy.—Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State .
The narrative is simple and clear, with so much of
life and spirit in it that it is next to impossible not to
read a whole chapter without stopping. * * * It
will be, and ought to be read by all our countrymen*
—Edgar Cowan. U. S.
Its accuracy gives it a value beyond any other his
tory of that eventful period. The great industry and
impartiality of Mr. Greeley will make this the text of
all future histories of the Great Rebellion. — Thaddeus
Stevens ilf. 0.
Of all the Histories of the Great Rebellion which I
have.examined, this one seems to me the best in the
copiousness of its antecedent and concurrent Con
gressional Records, as well as ofthe events of the war
itself.— Schuyler Colfax, Speaker of U. S. House of
Peps.
Volume 11. will be accompanied (without extra
charge.) by a elegant copperplate Map of the Seat of
War, worth $1 00. Sold only by traveling agents.

The Author, devoting his whole time in preaching
to, and corresponding with children, finds that there
is a charm in what comes to them in letter form, es
pecially when directed to a particular school, class*
family or child.
No. 1, f Tbe young love to be noticed. Seldom re
ceive letters. These letters; in a neat handwriting
teach how to write, read, and compose letters.
.No. 2. Those having children in.charge, find it de
sirable always to have choice, spicy matter at hand*
and "in a nutshell, '* to interest children with. !
They are filled with incidents, extracts from chil
drens letters and other illustrations, all bearing on*
one gospel theme or text.
Rev. Dr. Newton: "

Rev. A. Cookman: "The collection of incident*
and simplicity of expression, make them exceedingly
interesting.” ..
George H. Stuart: "Admirably adapted to interest
children. Others say, “ Exactly what is needed in
our babbath-school.” — The subject of conversation
until the next one appears.”—" Means of increasing

CLEANSE THE BLOOD.
With corrnpt, disordered or vitiated
Blood you are sick all over. It may
burst out in Pimples, or Sores, or in
Borne active disease, or it may merely
HT t keep you listless, depressed and gora
for nothing. But you cannot nave
good health while your blood is im-
W pure. AYER’S SARSAPARILLA
purges out these impurities and stim«
ulateß the organs of life into vigorous action, restor
ing the health and expelling disease. Hence it rapid
ly cures a variety of complaints which are caused by
impurity of the blood, such a: Scrofula, or Kiras'
Evil, Humors, Ulcers, Sores, Eruptions, Pimples,
<ckeB, Boils, St. Anthony 3 a Fire, Hose or Erysipelas, Tet
ter or Salt Bneum, Scald Head, King Worm. Cancer or
Cancerous Tumors, Sore Eyes, Liver Complaints, and
Heart Diseases . Try AYER’S SARSAPARILLA,
and see for yourself the aurprisir g activity with
which cleanses the blood and cures these disorders.
During late years.the public have been mis ed by
large bottles pretending to give a quart of Extract
ox barsapanlla for one dollar. Most of these have
been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain
little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but often no curative pro
perties what* ver. Hence, bitter disappointment has
followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsapa
rilla which flood the market, until th*> name itself has
beeome synonymous with impo>ition and cheat. Still
we-call this compound “Sarsaparilla,” and intend to
supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from
the load of obloouy which rests uponi. We think
we have ground for believing it has virtues which are
irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it ig
intended to cure. We can only assure the sick, that
we offer them the beßt alterative which we know how
to produce, and we have reason to believe, it is by far
the most effectual purifier of the blood yet discovered
by any body,
AYER’S CHERRY PECTORAL is so universally
known to surpass every other remedy for the cure of
Coughs, Colds , Influenza, Hoarseness , Croup, Bronchitis,
Incipient Consumption, and for the relief of Consump
tive Patients in advanced stages of the disease, that
it is useless here to r» count the evidence of its vir
tues. The world knows them.

and have often been disposed to write you concerning
the real value of your SELTZER APERIENT as a

benefit the SELTZER has done my wife.
For four or five years my wife has been sadly afflie- -
ted with Dyspepsia, and after being under the treat
ment of several Doctors for two or threeyears»sho
was finally induced to seek the advice of a learned-
Physician, Doctor Cabialis, of Venezuela, who imme
diately treated her with your EFFERVESCENT
SELTZER APERIENT she began to improve at one#*
and is now PERFECTLY WELL.
I ieel it to be my duty for the good of humanity to
make this statement, feeling that a medicineso vania
ble should be widely known.
Trusting you will give this publicity, and repeating
my earnest-gratitude and thanks.
I am very respectfully yours.
