fcprtmeut. j Observing Farmers. It is hardly to be expected that all farmers will he able to write for the Press, or to speak HI public assemblies. W itli some, their early education has, perhaps, been so deficient as to forbid it ; and with others, their ineesssant and toilsome labors make it almost impossible lor them to give time and thought to such tilings. Every man who labors hard daily in any calling, knows that when night overtakes : him his body is wearied, and his mind sympathi zes with it and craves rest. And the dillicnlty of writing grows with the disuse of it. Hence it comes to pass that some of our best fanners i seldom put pen to paper for the sake of writing agricultural essays. And it must be confessed on the other hand, that some farmers who drive the quill lor the papers, hold the plow with a very slack hand. It is said that a certain eminent statesman of Pennsylvania, who wrote many valuable pa pers on agriculture, was often called upon by his admiring readers, expecting to see on his own lands a practical exemplification of hi writings. What was their surprise to see gates with broken hinges, plows, harrows and hoes j laying about in disorder, and barns and fences out of repair. They made bold to express their astonishment to the learned farmer, when his Honor replied : " Why, gentlemen, do you expect me to write and work !" Andso.it can hardly be expected that practical fanners should do much , in the way of writing for publication. Few men can do more than one thing thoroughly. Yet, we think that farmers make too little use of stormy weather and of the leisure of Winter lor reading and writing. W hat if they can not produce essays as learned as LiebL's, and polished a- Macaulny's, they yet can con tribute something valuable to the stock of human knowledge. Every intelligent farmer is an observer. He sees something almost every day, that is worthy of putting on record for liis own use, if not for the benefit of others.— He learns something both by success and ill fortune, which ought not be lost. Should not this habit of observation be cultivated ? Wonld it not add much of interest to the routine of farm-life? And if all cannot prepare their notes of observation in finished style for the Press, let them communicate their knowledge' orally in Farmers' Cbibs and let them send extracts from their journals to the editors of agricultural papers, who would make good use of their observations. And let us add in behalf of the editorial! fraternity, that we always desire to have plain straight forward details of practice. If well written, with the main facts stated in conden sed, cleur style, it is labor saved to us, but this is not essential. No matter bow ungrammatical ly written, this is all straightened out before j the type setters get hold of a letter, and errors in eoiuinuuicatious are known only to the edi tors. How TO MAKE Goon CIDER. TO the Editor of the American Agriculturist: —There is hard ly a tithe of cider made now as compared with forty years ago. Many of the old orchards have died out, and the temperance reform lias prevented their renewal. The market for fine fruits has greatly expanded, and nearly all the trees now planted are for the production of market apples. It took eight bushels of ap ples to make a barrel of cider, and the barrel sold for only a dollar. Apples now bring every : year from fifty cents to a dollar a bushel.— j Fruit growers can hardly be expected to lament the change that is so much for their pecuniary interest. Yet cider is still made all over the country in small quantities, some for the apple butter, some for vinegar, and still more for the bever age. When bottled and properly handled, it is as palatable, and much more wholesome, than most of the wines of commerce. In affec tions of the kidneys it is an excellent remedy, and should have a place in every well appoint ed cellar. It is a matter of some importance, that what cider is made, should be made in the best manner. The apples should be well ripened, but not in the least decayed. Every ap/le with the least-peck of rot in it should b( removed, if you wish a first rate beverage. The decayed and inferior apples may be reserved for making vinegar. Perfect cleanliness .should be observ ed in the grinding process which should be performed two days before pressing, and the pomace be permitted to stand and mellow in the vat, until it assumes a deep red color. — Clean dry straw should be used in forming the cheese. If the straw be musty, the flavor will lie communicated to the juice. If water be a 1- ded, it will make it hard and unpleasant to the taste. The casks, also, in which it is put for fermentation, should be thoroughly cleansed, and finished off with a fumigation of brimstone. This is done by burning inside the barrel a few strips of canvas, dipped in melted brimstone. The fumes will penetrate all the pores and destroy the most and correct and sourness.— After the fermentation is over, draw off into clean arrels, band clarify it. This can bo done oy mixing a quart of clean white sand with the whites of half a dozen eggs, and a pint of mustard seed, and pouring it into the barrel. It may stand in the barrel, or, if a nice article is wauted. it should be put iuto quart bottles £ d cort (d. This cider will lie fit to drink in case of sick ness, and will always bear a good price in market. It retails at twenty-five cents a bottle and would bring at least two dollars a dozen, by the quantity. This is much better business than to make a jxior article from decayed ap ples, in a slovenly manner, and sell it for two dollars a barrel. SETT ixo CUT FIU IT THICKS.—A correspond ent of the New Eug'and Farmer, writes : " While in the West, two years since, an old nurseryman told me he had been setting out fruit trees for fifteen years, and those he set in the fall bore annually, while those he set in the spring were indifferent bearers. My experience and observation satisfy me that fall setting Is much the best, aside from this consideration. They should be well mulched the first winter to protect the roots from frost, and the next summer to guard against drought." A physician once advised Sydney Smith to 44 take a walk upon an empty stomach."— 41 Whose stomach ?" asked the wit. 44 SEE-SAW.'" — 44 We 11,," said a carpenter, " of all the saws ever 1 saw I never saw a saw saw as I saw that saw saw."

HVMMONTON LANDS—NEW K.VBL \ND SKTTLK MEN T—U ABE <) PPORTUNITY—TO ALL WANT INU FARMS—in a healthy place, twenty-five miles from Philadelphia, on the Camden and Atlantic railroad. New Jersey. An old estate lias recently ticen opened for sale, i and tiie first division of 10,000 acres .1 i\ hied up into lanns of twenty acres and upwards. The soil is of the best quali ty for the production of fruits, grains, Ac. The price is ! sls to S2O per acre, payable in eay quarter yearly instal j ments, within a term of four years, with interest. The , terms are made easy, in order to insure the rapid im i provement of the land, by enabling every industrious man | to hny a farm. It is now being extensively improved by good roads, and some of the best citizens from New Eng land and the Middle States are erecting large improve ments. It is a scene of the greatest improvement out of Philadelphia. Seventy-five houses have been built in four months. Practical farmers and business men from the length and breadth of the Union are settling there. It is an important business plare, on account of its l>eing in tlie midst of a great market. Every article raised np on this land finds an immediate sale. Tlie water is ex cellent, and no such thing as fever is known. The soil is a sandy or clay loam, with a clay bottom and reUnlirr of manures. It is free of stones and easily worked. It abounds largely in the phosphates, and sueli is its fertility that from the crops produced both upon this land anil the large area adjoining under cultivation, it will he found not to lie excelled anywhere in the pro duction of crops most adapted to its market. The reader may be well aware that the earliest anil the best fruits and vegetables come from New Jersey, which are annually exported to the amount of millions of dol lars. The land, besides lieing accessible in every way for fertilizers, has an abundant supply ofthe best quality of muck manure. Lumber and building materials can be had on the spot at a cheap price, from the mills. Other mills are now lieing opened, and brickyards being started on the ground. A person can put up a frame tenement for pre-ent con venience for one hundred dollars. On account of the ex tensive emigration, this is the best course to in order to get a place to live in at first. Carpenters and builders are on hand to put up houses on the best terms. In settling here the emigrant has many advantages.— He is within a few hours' ride of the great cities in tin- Middle States and New England ; lie is near bis old friends and associations ; he is in a settled country, where every improvement and comfort of civilization is at hand: lie x is in a healthy place, and is not subject to the certainty of losing the greater part of his family and his own health by those malignant fevers which make the graves of so many millions ofthe young nnd hardy in far off regions away from home and friends. Besides, he has a mild climate and an open winter. There are three trains daily to Philadelphia, and to all those who improve the railroad company gives a free ticket. The reader will at once lie struck with the advantages here presented, and ask himself why the property hies not lieen taken up before. The reason is, it was never thrown in the market ; and unless these statements were correct no one won Id IK- invited to examine tlie land before pnr -1 chasing. This all ire expected to do. They will see the j land under cultivation : they will meet persons, no doubt I from their own neighborhood ; they will witness the im | provements and can judge of tlie character of the popu j Lit ion. Fersons should come prepared to purchase as j many are locating, and locations are not held on refusal.
