Fixed Facts in Agriculture.
Homebody lias <rot rp the following list or
" fixed facts" in agriculture, and for once, in a
condensation of the sort, has hit tiic right nail
on the head, in most of them. Tiicy are for
nu eastern latitude, and no western farmer
need trouble himself about what is said of nian
factured manure, at least till he has learned to
use his stock furnished from the barn-yard. —
J'raire Farmer.
I. All lands on which clover or the grasses j
are grown must either have lime in them natu- j
rally, or that mineral must be artificially su|>-
plied. It matters but little whether it be sup
plied in the form of stone lime, oyster lime, or
tuarl.
2* All permanent improvement of lands must
look to lime as its basis.
3. Lands which have been long in culture
will be benefitted by tlic application of phos
phate of lime, and it is unimportant whether
the deficiency be supplied in the form of bone
dust, guano, native phosphate of lime —oriuarl
—if the laud needs lime also.
4. No lands can be preserved in a high state
of fertility unless clover aud the grasses arc
cultivated in the course of rotation.
5. Mould is indispensable in every soil, and
a healthy supply ean alone be preserved through
the cultivation of clover and the grasses, the .
turning in of green crops, or bv the application
of composts rich in the elements of mould.
0. All highly concentrated animal manures
are increased in value, and their benefits pro
longed by admixture with plaster, salt, or with
pulverized charcoal.
T. Deep plowing greatly improves the pro
ductive powers of every variety of soil that is
not wet.
8. Subsoiling sound land, that is, land that
is tiok wet, is also eminently conducive to in
incrcased production.
9. All wet land should be drained.
10. All grain crops should be harvested be
fore the grain is thoroughly ripe.
11. Clover, as well as the grasses, intended
for hay, should be mowed when in bloom.
12. Sandy loams can be most effectually im
proved by clay. When such lands require lim
ing or marling, the lime or niwl is most bcticfi
c'ally applied when made into compost with
clay. In slacking lime, salt brine is better
than water.
. 13. The chopping or grinding of grain to be
given to stock operates as a saving of at least
twenty-five per cent.
14. Draining of wet lands and marshes adds
to their value by making them to produce
more, and by improving the health of neigh
borhoods.
15. To manure or lime wet lands is to throw
manure, lime and labor away.
10* Shallow plowing operates to impoverish
the soil, while it decreases production.
IT. Uv stabling and shedding stock through
the winter a saving of one-fourth the food may
be effected ; that is, onc-fonrtli less food will
answer than when the stock may be exposed
to the inclemencies of the weatner.
18. A bushel of plaster per acre sown broad-1
cast'over clover, will add one hundred per cent,
to its produce.
19. Periodical applications of ashes tend to
keep up the integrity of soils by supplying
most, if not all, of the inorganic substances.
20. Thorough preparation of laud is abso
lutely necessary to the successful and luxuriant
growth of crops.
21. Abundant crops cannot be grown for a
succession of years unless care be taken to pro
vide equivalent for the substances carried off
the laud in the products grown thereon.
- 22. To preserve meadows in tln-ir produc
tiveness it is uccessary to harrow them every
second autumn, apply top-dressing, and roil
them up
22. All stiff clays are benefitted by fall and
winter plowing ; but should never be ] lowed
when wet. If at such plowings the furrow be
materially deepened, lime, marl or ashes should
be supplied.
24. Young stock should be moderately fed
with grain in winter, and receive generous
supplies of long provender, it being essential
to keep them in a fair condition in order that
the formation of muscle, bones, Ac., may be
encouraged and continuously carried on.
COOKF.HY-EFKECTS OF IIEAT ITOS* MEAT. —
A well cooked piece of meat should be full of
its own juice or natural gravy. In roasting,
therefore, it should be exposed to a quick fire,
that the external surface may be made to con
tract at once, and the albumsn to coagulate
before the juice has had time to escape from
within. And so, in boiling. When a piece
of beef or mutton is plunged into boiling wa
ter, the outer part con tracts, the albumen which
is near the surface coagulates, and tie inter
nal juice is prevented either from escaping in
to the water by which it is surrounded, or from
being diluted or weakened by the admission of
water amoug it. When cut up, therefore, the
meat yields much gravy, and is rich in flavor.
Hence, a beefsteak or a mutton chop is done
quickly, and over a (puck lire, natu
ral juices may be retained. <)u the other hand,
if the meat be exposed to a slow tiro its pores
remain oj>en, the juice continues to flow from
within, as it has dried from the surface, and
the flesh pines and becomes dry, hard and un
savory. Or if it be put into cold or tepid wa
ter, which is afterwards gradually brought to
a boil, much of the albmncn is extracted be
fore it coagulates, the natural juices for the
most part flow out, and the meat is served in
a nearly tasteless state. Hence, to prepare
good boiled meat it should be put at once in
to water already brought to a boil. Hut to
make beef tea, mutton broth, and other meat
soups, the flesh should be put iuto cold water,
ami this afterwards very slowly warmed, ami
finally boiled. The advantage derived from
simmering, a term not unfrequent in cookery
books, depends very much upou the effects cf
slow boiling as above explained.— Chemistry
<j Common Life.
COLORING BITTER WITH CARROTS. —Some
who practice this commend it, as not only im
proving the ap]>earance of the butter, but the
flavor and quality. The following is the pro
cess : To cream for 5 lbs. of butter take a good
sized orange c(#rot, wash clean and grate off
the deepest coloi%d portion, pour a teacupful
of warm water to it, let it stand a short time,
then strain through a cloth, and add to the
cream just before churning.
CHARCOAL FOR FLOWERS.— It is an ascer
tained fact, that powdered charcoal, placed
around rose bushes and other flowers, has the
effect of adding much to their richuess.
The man who is ever true to himself,
wi l certainly tie true to others.

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
| DIRECT & TO-&-FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
rAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN*, of Towanda, respect
fully informs the public that he has lately procured
j from New York the celebrated Klcctro-Chemical ltath,
I which has proven to be one of tiic most "important and
' wonderful discoveries of the age, from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago. a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the bodv,
by galvanism : more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into His system in the prosecution of
ois art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected, with like results. His success exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, hut cured many diseases, some of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of tins Bath to draw from the system all mi
nerals that may lie lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases
which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine
rals accumulating in the system for years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the diseases cured by these
I baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis. Palsy, Painter's Cholic,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer,
Xeuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum aud Humors of all
kinds.
He has also S. B. Smith'snewlv invented DIRECT AND
TO-AXD FRO ELECTROMAGNETIC MACHINE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Rath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is very
great, in introducing medicines into the system througli
the pores ot the skin—applying it directly to the parts af
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local diseases.
I am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at my house in the south part of the Isirough
of Towanda, or I will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford copntv. for the almve
I Machines. JAMBS HARRIS.
