A Valuable Recipe—First-rate White-
The editor of the American Agriculturist
says he has tried various preparations for
white-washing ceilings, and the wails of un
prepared rooms, but has never found any
thing that was entirely satisfactory until the
present spring. lie has now something that
affords a beautiful, clear, white color, which
cannot be rubbed off, and which he prepares
in this wise:
" We procured - at a paint store, a dollar's
worth of the first quality of 'Paris White'-
33 pounds at three cents per pound—and for
this quantity one pound of white glue, of the
best quality, usually called Cooper's glue,
because manufactured by Peter Cooper, of
New York. Retail price 50 cents per pound.
For one day's work, half a pound of glue
was put in a tin vessel, and covered with
cold water over night. In the morning this
this was carefully heated until dissolved,
when it was added to sixteen pounds of the
Paris White, previously stirred in a moder
ate quantity of hot water. Enough water
was then added to give the whole a proper
milky consistency, when it was applied with
a brush in the ordinary manner. Our thirty
three pounds of Paris White and one pound
of glue sufficed for two ceilings, and the walls
and ceilings of seven other small rooms.
A single coat is equal to a double coat of
lime wash, while the white is far more bril
liant than lime. Indeed the color is nearly
equal to that of 'Zinc White,' which costs at
least four times as much. We are satisfied,
by repeated trials, that no white-wash can be
made to adhere firmly without glue, or some
kind of sizing, and this will invariably be
colored in time, with the caustic lime. The
Paris White, on the contrary, is simply pure
washed chalk, and is entirely inert, produ
cing no caustic effect on the sizing. Any of
our readers who try this, and are as well
pleased with it as we are, will consider the
information worth many times the cost of
an entire volume of the Agriculturist. Had
we known of it when we first set up house
keeping,' it would have saved us much labor,
and the annoyance of garments often soiled
by contact with white-wash—not to mention
the saving of candles, secured 'by always
having the ceiling white enough to reflect in
stead of absorbing the rays of light."
Value of Buckwheat.
A late issue of Hunt's Merchants.' Maga
zine, in an article upon buckwheat, thus
speaks of it concerning
. its properties as an
edible :—"Considering the good qualities of
buckwheat, it is probably less appreciated
than any other bread grain. Writers on a,g
ricultural products seem to eschew it as food
for man, and regard it only as a mischievous
adulteration of 'Wheat flour, or as a product
of poor soil for cattle. It is of a totally dif
ferent family of plants from the cereals, and
will flourish on sandy hill-sides which are
barren for other grain. It is probably the
most easily cultivated, and the cheapest bread
grain in the world. It is extensively culti
vated, in Belgium and some parts of France,
where it forms the basis of food for the in
habitants. Though its properties aro very
different from wheat, it is, nevertheless, quite
as rich in all important compounds, and in
extremely cold weather, it is more substan
tial than wheat. It is, however, less digesti
ble, and apt to disagree with weak stomachs,
or persons unaccustomed to it. By analysis,
buckwheat is second to wheat in gluten, but
deficient in starch. By the addition of one
fourth quantity of oat, or Indian ' meal to
buckwheat flour, the bread is very much im
proved."
The Artificial Manure Question
At a meeting of the Oxford Farmers' Club,
on Wednesday, Jan. 14, the following reso
lution, proposed by Mr. Mein, and seconded
by Mr. Cloggins, was carried unanimously ;
" that this Club considers the use of artificial
manure as still too much limited; that Peru
vian guano, as standard, is the best top
dressing for corn-crops; farm-yard manure,
guano, nitrate of soda, and bone dust for
grass land; that mixed manures are the best
for root crops ; and that -without a liberal
use of artificial manure the present extent of
land in this country could not be kept in cul
tivation,7as there is nothing that has tended
more to assist high farming than the intro
duction of artificial manure : and, finally,
that this Club does not consider that the de
cay of the root crop is attributable to the
lavish application of manures." At the• same
meeting, Mr. Thompson, of Culham, was re
elected Chairman of the Club for the ensuing
year.—Farmer's (Eng.) Magazine.
Ip.;sEcTs.—Professor Asa Fitch says, in his
new contributions to the Transactions in the
New York Agricultural Society, " I some
times think there is no kind of mischief
going on in the world of nature around us,
but that some insect is at the bottom of it.—
Certain it is that these little creatures, seem
ingly so insignificant and powerless as to be
unworthy of a moment's notice from any
body but the curious, occupy a most impor
tant rank in the scale of creation, and on
every side of us their performances are pro
ducing most important results, tending pro
bably in an equal degree to our benefit in
one direction, as to our detriment in another."
It is impossible to over-estimate the value of
these contributions to science, when we re
flect that it is computed that all the species of
insects taken together which exist in nature,
do not fall short of four hundred thousand !

A. Cheap Bee-give
A correspondent writes to know how to
make cheap bee-hives, with caps on the top,
to contain the surplus honey. The size for
this latitude should be one foot square inside
and fourteen inches deep—made of inch pine
boards, unplaned. Put on a roof or cover to
project a little on each side of the hive, in or
-1 der to allow you to lift and carry it by such
! projection. This is your main hive, in which
1 the bees are to make their brood combs and
1 rear their young. Upon the top of this box
your boxes for surplus honey are to be placed,
called supers or caps. These caps may be
made of thin boards—clapboards,for instance,
of the thinnest kind to be found. Make
1 them 12 inches by 6, and 6 or 7 inches high.
1 In one end a pane of glass should be inserted
in a groove made to receive it. This-glass is
Inecessary in order to sell your honey in the
fall to good advantage. In the bottom of
each box, bore three inch holes, and the same
number in the top of your hive, 'to corres
pond in position, when the supers are adjus
ted to their places. The outer cap should
be made of pine boards like the lower sec
tion of the hive, and if the roof of this pro
jects over on each side a late it will be found
an advantage. Around the outer edge of the
roof of the lower section, a rabbet should be
cut out to allow the top box to set down a lit
tle below the surface, or the rains would be
apt to beat under to the injury of the bees
on some occasions. No good common hive
can be properly made without the aid of a
joiner, or by some one familiar with the use of
tools, arid having the necessary tools to do
good work. In the lower section of such a
hive, two wooden rods should be placed cross
wise, and diagonally from corner to corner in
the middle of each. By using two such rods, 1
the bets may build their combs in any direc
tion, and they will find bars running trans
versely
to which they may attach their
combs. I
The foregoing is about all the description
that we can give of such a hive, without be
ing very minute in the details. From a long
experience, we have ascertained that bees in
any latitude north of the city of New York,
require about 2,000 cubic inches of space in
their main hive ; in warmer latitudes from
1,700 to 1,800 cubic inches will do very well.
Common unplaned hives like the above,
should be white-washed to protect them, or
if the boards be planed, they may be painted
white, and they .will be beautitul hives if well
made.—Rural American.
The Cut Worm.
In wet seasons, like the present, this worm
is most destructive. It appears to flourish
best while the weather is wet and cool, the
first hot days putting an end to its operations.
A writer in the Ameeican Agriculturist says
it is produced from eggs deposited about the
roots of grass, close to the ground, by an ash
colored moth or miller. They are hatched
by the first warm weather of Spring and
rapidly increase in size until about the cnd
of May, when they generally change to the
fly form. The same writer explains why the
worm is often so destructive upon land which
has been twice plowed. Ile says the early
plowing turns the eggs down beyond the in
fluence of the warm air. The second plow
ing turns them up again and they are readily
hatched;
To PREVENT Sows 111031 KILLING TREIR
YOUNG L a new remedy has sprung up, which
is said to be entirely effectual. It is neither
more nor less than to give the sow, in her
mess, about half a pint of rum or gin, which
produces intoxication, and while in this con
dition the young pigs find their lacteal sup
ply of food. "When the late unnatural moth
er comes to rights again, and finds her pro
geny busy helping themselves, she looks
upon them with a mother's affection, and the
utmost kindliness of disposition f o llows.—
This is surely an easy remedy to try, and if
it shall prove to be all that is said of it, it
may be regarded as about the best use to
which rum can be put.— Germantown Tele
graph.
BLOWING UP STUMPS.—SeIect a solid place
in a large root, near the ground, of an oak or
any stump with a tap root, and with an inch
and-a-quarter augur, bore in, slanting down
ward, to as near the heart of the base of the
root as you can judge; then put in a charge
of one or two ounces of powder, with a safe
ty fuse, and tamp in dry clay or ordinary
tamping material, to fill the hole, some six
inches above the charge; then touch fire to
the fuse, and get out of the way. The blast
will usually split the stump into three pieces,
and make it hop right out of the ground. If
the charge is put too high up, the blast will
only split the top of the stump without lifting
it.—Ohio Cultivator.
tiar Common turnips may be sown from
the middle of July to the middle of August.
We prefer the last week in July,if the weather
is not too dry. Almost every farmer has
patches of rich low ground, where the young
corn has been destroyed by the wet weather
of the past month, and such ground is gene
rally well suited for turnips, if well plowed
and pulverized. Or what is better still, clear
up a piece of new ground, where free from
grass and weeds, and after plowing or well
harrowing, sow the seed at the rate of one
pound to the acre, and cover with a brush
harrow.
Wsn.Buckwheat Bran is said to be injurious
to nursing sows. It causes the skin of the
latter to crack all over, and the ears and tails
frequently to crack off. The sows themselves
dry up, and the pigs are apt to die.
HE NEW YORK STEAM SAW
MILL AND MACHINE COMPANY,
CA , ITAL, TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS
This company has been organized with the above capital
for the purpose of supplying the demand for the
COMBINATION PORTABLE STEAM SAW-MILL,
and other improved machinery.
They have purchased the entire machinery business here
tofore carried on by J. 3.1. Emerson & Co., also the Mont
gomery Works at Yonkers, on the Hudson, near this city,
and with the experience and facilities combined in its or
ganization are prepared to furnish machinery of all kinds
at more liberal rates, than has ever been offered at any
other establishment.
The Combination Saw-Mill was patented October, 1856,
and is now generally acknowledged to be the cheapest, and
most practical, and efficient lumber manufacturing ma
chine in the world. A number of them arc in successful
operation in different sections of the country, Canada,
Cuba. and South America, and wherever their merits have
been tested they are being adopted by lumber manufactu
rers in preference to all other mills.
iJhe following letter expresses the general opinion of
those who are using the Combination Mill :
MEssas. Ibteasozy & Co.—Gentlemen: I have tried the
saw-mill purchased of you, and will say that it performs
well, and snore than meets my expectations. I am well
pleased with its performance. I set it up on a small stream
that afforded constant water about as thick as my little
finger, which was much more than sufficient to supply the
boiler. We are able to cut 3,000 feet of beautiful lumber
in 12 hours, with something less than one cord of wood.—
It is the very thing we have so much needed in our county
for a lung time. With a little trouble and expense, we are
able to move it . from five to tea miles per day, and set it up
in the heart of the timber, which saves the great burden
of hauling the logs zi long distance to the mill.
Yours respectfully, JESSE KEnn, Jr.,
Louisville, Tennessee.
The company has purchased Lund's Patent Feed Ar
rangement, which is illustrated and described in the Scien
tific American for October 24. This adds greatly to the
efficiency of the mill.
THE COMBINATION MILL,
with all the recent improvements, and steam power of 15
horses, is capable of sawing from 3,000 to 4,000 feet iu 12
hours, and is sold for $1,650.
THE NEW YORK CIRCULAR SAW-MILL
Is manufactured only by this company. It: is of superior
contructioiyand sold for 25 per cent. less than other mills
of no greater capacity. A mill with :30 to 54-inch saw can
be sold for $450 to $5OO, and with a 20-horse engine and
boiler is sold for $2,200.
Steam Engines and Boilers; Engines of from I to 100
horse power; Locomotive, Tabular, Flue and Cylinder
Boilers famished at greatly reduced prices from former
quotations.
Drawings, with plans anti specifications for buildings
and machinery, furnished gratis to our customers.
Competent mechanics are sent out to put up and set in
operation our machinery, when required.
We also manufacture Shingle Machines, Planing Ma
chines, Sugar-Mills, and Machinery in general. .
Special attention paid to getting up Shafting and Pullies
for manufitetories, and all kinds of mill-Wright work.
This company are selling in great numbers a Patent Co
nical Burr. Stone Mill, for flour, corn meal, and all kinds of
feed, which is pronounced by experienced nallers, both in
this country and Europe, the best mill ever constructed.
It will grind more grain in the same time, and with halt
the power, of any mill of the same price in the market.
We also furnish other styles of Grist-Mills, when requi
red. J. M. EMERSON & CO., Agents,

G REATEST DISCOVERY OF THE
AGE.
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CHEWERS!
" DR. GUSTAV LESNARD'S
Taste Restorative Troches, the Great Substitute
for Tobacco.
It is a well known and incontrovortable fact that the use
of Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the most se
vere MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DISORDERS to which the
race of man is subject, as careful analysis and long and
painful experience have clearly proven that it contains
certain narcotic and poisonous properties most dangerous
in their effects, which by entering into the blood derange
the functions and operations of the Heart, causing many
to suppose that organ to be seriously deceased.
TOBACCO affects also the entire nervous system, mani
festing itself—as all who have used the noxious weed will
bear testimony—in Lassitude, Nervous Irritability, Water
Brash, Dyspepsia, and many other disorders of a similar
character.
TUE TASTE RESTORATIVE TROCHES are designed to
counteract these baneful influences, and have proved com
pletely successful in a multitude of cases, and wherever
used. Being harmless in themselves they exert a boned,
cial effect upon the entire system, restoring the taste which
has become vitiated or destroyed by great indulgence, corn,
pletely removing the irritation and accompanying tickling
sensation of the Throat—which are always consequent
upon abstaining from the use of Tobacco, and by giving a
healthy-tone to the Stomach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining their con
stitutions and shortening their lives, should use these
Troches immediately and throw off the injurious and urt:
pleasant habit of Tobacco Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a convenient
and portable form at the low price of 50 Cents per Box.
A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom all orders
should be addressed.
