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. —

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!

REAPER ASi D ROWER.

Patented by J. H. MANNY, Sept. 22,1851,

1854, Oct. 15, 1854, and by WALTER A.
WOOD, 24-th day of June and Ist day of Julv,
1850. 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

who will furnish Pamphlet? containing Certifi

Messrs. Biymire & Hartley :
Gentlemen :—I purchased
one of Manny's Reaping and Mowing Ma
chines last year. Its reputation beingthe high
est, and having seen it cut grain to my entire
satisfaction, I bought it after grain harvest. My
hay was cut with it; and, from its admirable a
daptation to the purposes intended—having
fully equalled the representation—l am pleased
to recommend it to the farmers of Bedford
County as an excellent Mower and Reaper,
believing it fully worth the price asked as a
Mower alone.
The subscriber is fully prepared to furnish
any quantity or quality of Building Lumber
and Plastering Laths. Orders directed to St.
Clairsville, Bedford County, will be promptly
attended to, by giving a reasonable notice.
