HAVE Yor BUILT A MAXCRE SHEP? —You have often seen remarks in the papers of the j superior quality of manure made under cover. | Has the thought occurred to you tliat yon J might make this article as well as your neigh-1 burs i YOU might easily run up a cheap shed, i covered with boards or slabs, on each side of j the barn yard. If you had these sheds, most of the manure would be dropped under them, and all the muck deposited there would be turn ed to the best account. Three are few cattle that will not prefer a shed to open air in stor- j mv weather even in summer. If yon have not ! put tip these sheds, now is a good time to get the timber for them. By all means build a good substantial shed : if you have the timber upon your farm. It is not a very expensive alfair, when yon are once about it. The wood you have for the drawing. The bill for sawing will not be very heavy. The saw-mills and shingles are not far distant. A few pounds of nails, and the carpenter for a day or two, with your own help, will complete j the job. Can't you not afford it. Well, dis- j pensc with the carpenter, then, and the nails, ! and build cheaper still, you can least get some long poles for the ridge, and a good many shor ter ones for the rafters, and make a skeleton roof. Now cover this with refuse straw or sea-weed, thick enough to shed the rain, and you have a shed a great deal better than none. A Friend of ours has tried tlie difference the past season, between manure under cover and that made in OJMMI yard. lie spread equal quan tities on equal areas of ground, and planted with corn. That there might be no unfairness, he followed up the two plots of ground with the same cultivation, lie did not have to wait until harvest to make up his mind that shelter ing manure was good economy. The corn w here he put in the manure made under cover was far more luxuriant to look upon, came on faster, and matured earlier, and the yield was übout one-third more of good sound corn. lie has since put up two manure sheds, and we think has begun a course of improvement that will not end with sheds. They are cheap affairs, but a good beginning. They will give him twenty cords of undiluted manure, instead of the same amount of wgslied and leached ma nure he has been accustomed to put on his land, lie has begun to use muck and to gather up the dropping in the yard every morn ing, and put them under cover. The manure sheds will pay good interest. Let them be put up this winter.- — American Agriculturist, Feb. How To MAKE Goon HITTER. —A corres pondent of the New England Farmer furnishes that paper with the following rules for making good butter: 1. Milk should never beset for butter in a dark, damp cellar—as is the ease with the but ter makers in this section—as the cream is thereby moulded before it has had time to rise, which gives the butter a mouldy taste. 2. The milk is allowed to set too long be fore being skimmed, which gives it a cheesy taste. 3. The cream is kept too long before it is churned, after it is skimmed, which gives it the taste of the other two ; and also a sour taste. 4. The butter should never be washed in wa ter, because it takes away that beautiful aro ma so essential to good butter. 5. It should never be taken in a person's warm hands, as the heat melts a certain portion of the globules, which gives it an oily taste, aud makes it become rancid very soon. 6. The milk should be set in good clean tin or earthen paus, in a dry, open, airy and shady place, above ground, if possible,although a cel lar may Vie so built and ventilated, as to an swer the purpose. It should never set over twenty-four hours, in warm weather ; and for a dairy of three cows or over, the cream should be churned every forty-eight hours, in warm weather; iu cold weather it may be kept lujiger. It should always be about the same heat that milk is when taken from the cow, and churned steadily,and I have never known it to fail of coming steadily ; (we use a cylinder churn ;) it is then taken from the churn with a wooden butter ladle, into a wooden tray which has been well scalded and cooled in pure cold water ; the salt is then worked in, to suit the taste, with the ladle, which is easily done with a little practice, and the butter milk well worked out ; it is then set away in a cool place far about twenty-four hours, when it is well worked over again, as long as milk or pickle can be worked out. Butter made in this way, and put down iu stone pots, and kept from the air, will keep good for a long time. Ixm.vx MEAT. BREAKFAST CAKES. —Pour boiling water iu a quart, of corn meal, stir it until it is wet ; then add two well beaten eggs, and milk enough to make it a thick batter ; measure a small tea spoonful of dry salcratus and dissolve it into some warm water, and put it into the batter with a small quantity of salt; butter square in tin pans, fill them two-thirds full, and bake in a quick oven ; wheu done, cut in squares, and serve hot. "Shall I help you to some of the tomatus ses,'' inquired a young exquisite of a venerable physician, as lie sat opposite to him at one of your hotel tables. "No, sir, I thank you," re plied the learned savant, "hut I'll trouble you for some of the potatussus, if you please." HoAitni VGTiorsE SCENE. —" Margery, what did you do with that tallow Mr. Jones greased his boots with this morning ?" " Please, inarm, I baked the griddle cakes with it." " Lucky you did, Miss ; I thought you had wasted it." GINGER IJEER. —Two gallons of ginger beer may lie made as follows : Put two gallons of water into a pot upon the fire ; add to it two ounces good ginger, and two pounds of while or brown sugar. Let all this coinc to the boil, and continue boiling for half an hour. Then skim the liquor and pour it iuto a jar or a tub, aloug with one sliced lemon and half an ounce of cream tartar. When nearly cold, put in a teacupful of yeast to cause the liquor to work. The beer is now made, and after it has worked two days, strain it and bottle it for use. Tie the corks down firmly. Bgf A Frenchman who was exhibiting some relics and other curiosities, produced, among other things, a sword, which he assured his visitors was " l)e sword dat Balaam had, when he wculd have killed dc ass." A spectator remarked that Balaam had no sword, but only wished for one. " \ er well, dis is de one he wished for." &?r The man who " held au office," got tir ed aid let go for the purpose of resting him- a short time, when the office got away aud has not becu heard from since. flltocellaiuons.

TAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect fully informs the public that he has lately procured from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath, which has proven to be oue of the 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 body, | by galvanism : more recently, M. Verges, of New York, j an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of ! poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of his art, conceived the idea of removing them liy the same processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered, i He then applietl the same means to others similarly af fected. with like results. His success exceeded his most i sanguine expectations,for not only did these Baths remove I mineral poisons, but cured many diseases, some of which j were the result of minerals, and some were not. .More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin i gtiiar power of this Bath to draw froin the system all mi nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases which are beyond the comprehension of the niost skilful 1 physicians, and which are the effect of poisouoits mine nil's 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 1 baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's I'liolic, | Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer, : Xeuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all i kinds. He has also S. 15. Smith'snewlv invented DIRECT AND I TO-AXD FRO ELECTUOMACNKTIC MACHINE, which is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto fore in use. With the aid of the Bath 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 iuto the system through the j lores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts af fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over that of Liking 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 borough ' ol'Towanda, or I will visit patients at a distance, who are tillable by reason of di>ease to come to this place, at rno • derate prices.
