Locust Grous.
May be easily grown on knobs of hills
or the poorest soil, and in five years will
yield per acre annually from 85 to B'lo
worth of post timber, produce more grass
than it would without trees, and every
year improve the soil. On Long Island
locust groves have grown in thirty eight
years to be worth S3OO per acre. We
have been urging our farmers, and especial
ly those occupying plain lands to cultivate
the locust —but as yet but few have done
?t.
Preparation' of Celery.
The lloiticuburist highly recommends
stewed ceiery. Cut the blanched or white
portion of the celery stalks in pieces about
an inch in length, and put them in a sauce
pan over the fire with milk and water, in
equal proportions, barely sufficient to cover
them, add a little salt, and let them stevv
gently, until perfectly tender. I hen take
out the celerv, add a piece ot butter to the
liquid it was boiled in, thicken it slightly
with flour, pour it over the celery and
serve it up.
Tobacco Dust as a Troteetiou against Insects.
Prof. Mapes last year procured from a
snuff mill a barrel of dry, but damaged
suuffflour, and prepared drudging boxes,
covered with fine bolting cloth, with which
he sifted it over the surfaces of any plant 9
attacked by insects, and with most signal
success. The snuff should be applied, if
practicable, while the plant is wet with dew,
and repeated after showers. If the boxes
nre properly made, (like a common flour
drudge,) and the snuff perfectly fine and
dry, little time is necessary to go over an
acre of plants. Even the rc6e bug, cab
bage louse, thrips on gripe vines, (See., all
yield to the influence of snuff, and the most
delicate plant of the hot bouse is not in
jured by its application. For field vegeta
bles, caustic liime, made into a fine pow
der, while dry, and applied before slaking
by contact with the air, will produce simi
lar results.
Raising Fruit Tree*.
A correspondent in Virginia, makes the
following inquiries :
•Will apple, pear, and quince seeds lo9e
their vitality by being kept dry in boxes 6
or 13 months V
They probably would be more or less
injured, and perhaps in some cases wholly
spoiled. Pear seeds have been kept dry
for a tew mouths, and, after exposure to
moisture and frost, have vegetated finely.
In other cases, apple and pear seeds, 90
treated, have nearly failed. Security would
direct that the seeds be kept moderately
moist from the time that they aro taken
from the fruit. After having become much
dried, moisture and frost operate iu soften
ing and splitting the homy covering.
•Should peach stones be planted imme
diately after the fruit is taken from them,
and will they come up well when taken
from under the trees and planted late in the
autumn*-where they inay hive been lying
a.nce they fell from the tree; and will
the stones which have been kept dry the
same length of time, come up as well as if
planted fresh ?'
In all cases, the seeds of fruit trees are
best if as fresh as possible ; but peach
stones may be kept some months dry with
small injury. Some nurserymen plant
thorn after tho lapse of a year, but they do
not often succeed so well. Under the tree,
shaded from the sun, and in contact with
the moist earth, they might dry hut little ;
and again, if in hot sunshine and on dusty
ground, they might suffer severely. They
should always be cracked before planting,
in which case freezing is not necessary, but
only facilitates the splitting of the etone.
Too much moisture spoils them.
HINTS TO SCHOOLMASTERS.
Under this head, a cot respondent of the
Advertiser has the following remarks,
which are well worthy of attention :
'Be not sarcastic. Some teachers have
a natural tendency to say things which cut
through a boy's heart like a knife. A schol
ar makes some mistakes ; instead of a sim
ple reproof, comes a tone of ridicule. The
boy feels wronged. One is stung into re
vengeful passion, another crushed with de
spair. Ido not think a child should ever
he mimicked, even for a drawling tone,
without explaining beforehand that it is not
fir ridicule, but to show in what the fault
consists; while that scorching sarcasm
which some teachers use, should be whol
ly abolished. It tends to call up bad pas
sions, and to engender bad feelings, in the
child's mind, towards the teacher and all
that he does.
' A teacher, in order that ho may best
exert a moral ami spiritual influence, should
be familiar and gentle. There is, no
doubt, a dignity that it essentia! in the
school room, but it need not partake of ar
rogance. True dignity must always be
connected with simplicity. Children are
keen observers, and they either shrink
from artificial austerity, or smile at it as
absurd. A teacher who should walk
about his school, with a domineering man
ner, might talk about moral and spiritual
truth till iie was weary, and do little good.
To produce much good, a teacher mflst
win the confidence and love of the children,
and to do this, he should, in his manners,
be natural arid gentle.
'Sowithtlie tone of the voice. If u
teacher is sharp and crabbed in his speech,
if he t alis out with dogmatical authority,
he shuts up the hearts of tho scholars, an I
the spell is broken ; —they will not listen
to tho voice of t lie charmer, charm he nev
or so wisely.
4 A subdued manner, and a low, kind
tone, will work wonders. Some always
epeak in the imperative mood. ' Fifth
boy, second division., bring your book this
way.' Another says, 'Master A ,will
you bring me your book V
4 Now both boys know they are to obey
but the first does with some degree of scorn,
what the other does cbeerfnily. Who
would not rather be asked than ordered ?'
DRAIN YOUR LANDS. —Let not a parti
cle of stagnant water lio on the surface,
nor under the surface of the lands you
cultivate. One of the best ol all blessings,
is pure wholesome running water. Cut
see that it is running, and not stagnant. —
The latter destroys all useful vegetation,
all economy iu working the land and all
health and all beauty of landscape. Man
ures are inoperative upon wet or ntoist
lands.
THE FRIGATE BIRD. —The following is
the account given by the Bishop of Nor
wich at a late meeting of the Ipswich Mu
seum of Natural History : He had sent to
the .Museum that day a specimen of the fri
gate bird—which was literally a tenant
of the air; it lived in the air, and never
came to the shore except in the breeding
season. The explanation of this extraor
dinary phenomenon was as simple as possi
ble. It was admirably constructed for the
purpose of its existence. It had an enor
mous pouch beneath its throat, its skin was
loose, its bones arid arteries were alike air
vessels ; and with an expansion of tail and
wings, it could hv imbibing a quantity of
air, and rarifying it within its body, be
come, in fact, an air-balloon. In this man
ner it floated in the air even during sleep.
When a woman loseth her good name,
she can't get it back again. That is pre
cisely the case with a dog made up into
sausages ; he's gone forever !
The rich depend upon the poor, as well
as the poor upon the rich. The world is
but a magnificent budding ; all the stones
ate gradually cemented together. There
is no one that subsists by himself alone.
The higher a bird soars the more ho is
out of the reach of danger, and just so is
it with the Christian.
Tart words make no friends ; a 9poonful
of honey will catch more flies than a gal
lon of vinegar.
PLANT FLOWERS. —If any sour hunk
says flowers are of no use, ask bitn what
the raiubow was made for. Plant flowers.
No tree takes so deep a root as preju
dice.
Law, like cob-webs, catches small flies.

The first BONUS was appropriated in December, 16J4,
: amounting to 10 per cent, on the sum insured under the

Recommendations.
VALLEY, May 28,1849.
Mr. Abner Thompson : Dear Sir—The
Pennock Drill 1 got from you last summer"
worked to my entire satisfaction, in rough and
smooth ground. Each tube and hopper" work
ing separate and independent of each other, is
a decided advantage, by escaping rocks, roots,
sowing point rows, &c., and from the appear
ance of my crop at this time, there will be a
better yield to the acre than on what I sowed
broad-cast, besides a saving of one halt bushel
of seed to the acre. I believe it is one of the
most profitable agricultural implements in use
by the farming community.
