Agricultural. ARTIFICIAL MASCRES. Scarcely anything has advanced the progress >f agriculture so much as the introduction ofar ificial manures. Their application is an improve nent in farming, which may be regarded as the beginning of a new epoch. By their means the produce of this country has doubled, new crops have been introduced, and land so sterile that it would not repay cost of cultivation in the usual way, has been forced to yield productive crops. Before the introduction of bones, phosphate of lime, and guano, the culture of root crops in their present extended state was unknown. At this time green crops cannot be raised economically without some addition of one kind or other to the ordinary manure produced on the farms There are few farms in this country on which home manure is produced annually and in sufficiently large quantities to bring the land to its required fertility. Portions of land, consequently, must remain in a condition in which it cannot yield a quick and remunerative profit to its occupier unless he has recourse to some kind of artificial manure. Even supposing the land to be in such a condi tion as to yield the maximum return wdich the usual rotation of crop 3 is capable of furnishing, the extra command of artificial manures would still increase largely the profits of the farmer, and would enable him to dispense with those crops which are not remunerative, and to replace them by others which require a larger dose of manure, hut which also yield a larger profit. On large farms, the carting and spreading of dung is attended with heavy expense, and far mers, by hauling their dung on the field nearest the barn-yard, and using artificial manures in the more remote situations, would be greatly the gainers. All means, therefore, which may enable the farmer to supply himself with manures, must be regarded as valuable, and the attempt to conv-rt refuse matter from chemical and other works in to fertilizers deserve much encouragement. — The Press. Peach Recipfs. In anticipation of the "good time coming," I send you a few recipes for the preparation and preservation of peaches. I have thoroughly tested most of them, and pronounced them good. You can judge of their merits and treat accordingly. Peach Preserves.—Peaches if preserved whole should be gathered before they are fully ripe: and coook tpnder in a little water. If in quar ters, crack the pits of half the peaches and add to them. Let the sirup simmer down quite thick beforeadding it to free from heat and moisture. Pickled Peaches.—Take any kind of fine large peaches that are not too ripe, v\ ipc oil the down with a soft flannel cloth, place three or four cioves in each, and lay them whole in a jar. To every gallon of vinegar add 1 quart of water, 5 pounds of sugar, tahlespoouful of salt and whole cinnamon. Pour it over the fruit boiling hot, being careful that the vinegar cov ers them well, and let them turn off the liq uor and boil as before, after which they are ready to be set away in the store room for fu ture use. Peach Jelly may be made in the usual way. When very ripe mash and strain through ajellv bag or sieve. Allow a pound of loaf sugar to a pint of juice, half ounce of bitter almonds blan ched and pounded, or half of the kernels of the stones. If it does not form readily add isinglass. Peach Marmalade.—Mash to a fine pulp and add sugar in the proportion of the sweetmeats and simmer down: it should be a smooth, thick mas 3. Put away in largf tumblers. Peaches in Brandy.— Wipe, weigh and care fully select the firmest fruit; have ready a quar ter of their weight to powdered loaf sugar, put the fruit in a vessel that closes tightly, throw the sugar over and cover with brandy. Place a piece of double foolscap under the cover and place the jar in a saucepan of water until the water is quite hot, but not boiling; when cold, tie the cover down tightly so that no air can pen etrate. Peach Wine.—Take nearly ripe fruit, stone it and bruise to a plump, put eight pounds of the pulp to one quart of water and let stand twenty four hours; then strain out the juice, and to every gallon add two pounds of sugar. Turn into a cask, and when fermented and become perfectly clear, cork tightly in bottles. STRVIH.MNE The scource of strychnine, one of the most powerful poisons, is not generally known. In the Island of Ceylon, and in several districts in India, the tree grows, from whose seed the poi son is prepared. The tree is of moderate size, with crooked stem and thick shining leaves.— In the fruit season it is readily recognized by its orange colored berries, about as large as golden pippins. The rind is hard, smooth, and covers a white soft pulp on which many kinds of birds feed, and within are flat round seeds, less than an inch in diameter. The seeds are ash grey in color, and are covered with silky hairs. This tiee is the strychnine nux vomica, and the seed is the poison nut. The Hindoos have long used the nut as a medicine, and its nature and prop, erties were understood by their doctors long be fore its existence even was known to the west ern nations. The natives of India often take it for many months continuously, much as opium eaters use opium. They commence with ta king the eighth of a nut a day, and gradually increase the allowance to an entire nut. They generally eat it immediately before or after ta king food, as eating it at other times produces spasms. Of course the frequent or habitual use of it leads to fatal consequences. Joke for a Farmer. The French excell all nations in studied e quivoque, but give us a Yankee for the unin tentional kind. A Western New York farmer writes as follows to a distinguished scientific ag riculturist, to whom he felt under obligations for introducing a variety of swine: Respected Sir:—l went, yesterday, to the fair at M ; 1 found several pigs of your species *, thpre wa3 a great variety of beasts, and I was astonished at not seeing you there!

The best combined MACHINE ever invented. From the success of last year's operations I take pleasure in announcing this Machine tothe Farmers lor the next Harvest, and feel assured it will fully meet their highest expectations.— It is easily managed, cuts clean and easv, is of light draft, and readily changed from a Reaper to a Mower, and vice versa, requiring not more than a minute to make the change. The al terations from last year are as follows, viz : All the Journals will be Case-hardened, the SHOES, GUARDS AND GEARING, will be built of the best Salisbury Iron, and wrought iron substituted for cast in several pla ces. The Machine is made to mow lodged clo ver without obstruction, by simply removing four bolts and leaving olf a part of the frame work. With these alterations and improve ments the machine will be stronger than here tofore, when it was the only reliable COMBINED REAPER AND MOWER made. The Machine is warranted capable of cutting from ten to fifteen acres of grass or grain per day, in a workman-like manner. N. B. Parties manufacturing Reaping or Mowing Machines, using WOOD'S PAT ENTS, are cautioned against their further use, and are hereby notified that payment will be exacted to the full extent fur the use heretofore made of them. For further particulars the Farmers are re spectfully invited to call upon ISlvillirc Jk Hartley, Agents for Bedford County, Pa., who will furnish Pamphlet? containing Certifi cates, &,c.
