in a greater degree than by a liberal application of

. is so, lam not prepared to say. Matiy - of the ex
planations recently promulgated are, to me, at
least unsatisfactory. A Mr. Witt. T. 'Baldwin, in a
communication upon this - subject, published in "The
Plough, the Loom, and 1,4. Anvil," says:
6 . I consider the residue of putrefaction, the only
manure. All substances, animal vegetable 'and
mineral, either liquid or solid, which are capable
at underoing the putrefactive ferinetriatior, form.
by the chemical charges peculiar to that process, a
fertilizing residue. This resi its the only pnbu
turn of plan's.. Nu substance whatsoever, nut ex
cepting animal excretions, can be properly could
ted a manure, until it has bettn subjected to pu
welacation. To perfect this it is indispensable that
most substances should be favorably locate.l.
" Close, dark, cool, damp location; with a slight
contact of sir most favored decompcsit on. Ligto,
heat, moisture, and a free circulation, of air, retard,
in the many cases prevent, this process!
It cannot have escaped the observation of those
wholiave been engaged in_cultivation of strawber
ries, that when the surface of the beds have bean
covered with straw, the soil has evinced a most
decided and palpable improvement. So, indeed in
every' ca - 6 where .this substance has been appli

Speaking of the soil, the writer above quoted re-

" The earth itselt-is capable of being converted
into the best manure. If densely shaded ; it W ill

t`rose which vegetable and animal matter do when

It is ciFiaiiily worth the while of every person
engaged in the cultivation of the soil, to make trial
of this simple and economical means of ameliora
tion. If large experiments are not considered ad
visable, the theory may be tested on a small scale;
a kw yards only may be first subjected to the prr
cess, and if the results favor the belief, they should
afterward be extended. In this, manner correct

The extraordinary effects of mulching c evinc

to the retention of moisture around the roots by the

worms, when some other cause has bten supposed to

It is admitted by all doctors that scarce a man, wo-

troubled with worms, and in hundreds of cases, sad to
relate, a supposed fever, scarlatina, cold, or some other
ailing carries off the Rower of the human family—
while in truth they die of worms! and these could

A.M. WARNER takes this method
of informing his old customers and the

); public generally, that he has purchased
-t,
ofJ.P.RuI., his stock of Watcttesi, Clocks
and Jewelry. and commenced the above
business in all of its various branches at the old stand
of the latter, on Main street, two doors south of Brick
Row. His reputation as a watch repairer is so well
established in this community, that it is hardly neces
sary to say a word on that point. With his long ex.
perience and great advantages for acquiring a thorough
knowledge of the business, he has confidence in saying
to the public , bring.on your watches and clocks, I will
do them justice.
