farmer's gfjartmcut.
[From the Paimei ar.d Gardener]
Take Care of the Imp'omeata.
Ms. EDITOR Ex..ti.i;-a MowingEatliiiu
a days since, I observed, painted upu.j a
conspicuous part of it, the word*, " Keep x,-.vr
knives sharp." The manufacturer had, I pre
sume, learned to kuotv that very mm y of the
failures on the part of farmers to make their
mowing mach tus wotk i>atiefactorily, proceed
ed froru & want of attention to the injunction
contained in the four words so cons-pcuously
painted upon the machine. It seems strange
any such admonition should be necessary, but
" facts are stubborn things," and it cannot be
denied that'oo little attention is given to door
out in pitirents.wl ei in use,or when not inure.
No nation expends so much money for imple
ments as the American, and none so careless
of them. In fact, tl e purchase of improved
implements is one of the heaviest taxes impos
ed upon tss ; but it is tqually clear that we
double our taxation in this particular by our
abuse of them. The leisure season of the fur
trer is at h n', and this the proper time,there
fore, to direct their at tent ion to this matter
Where shall they begin ? With the first tool
or implement they meet after reading this.—
It they have done with plowing and harrowing
fer the season, let evtry plow.hrrrow, and cul
tivator be taken to the implement house, pre
suming of course, that every well conducted
farm is provided with one of these indispensa
bles. Every shovel, hoe, apade, or rake should
be similarly cared for, and the first leisure
hour, or rainy day, appropriated to putting
them in proper order for the use at any mo
ment. By this I mean that every part of
every tool should be carfully examined ; every
nnt and bolt should be seen to ; the adhering
dirt should be washed from both iron and wood
work ; and this should be done before the
bright or polished parts, as mold boards, Ac.,
begin to rust. Apply a little tallow or oil to
these parts ; procure some good oil paint,(the
be6t its the cheapest,) and give a coat of it to
every part of the wood-work. One coat of
paint is worth half a dozen of varnish,at least
such vanish sis is usually applied to agricul
tural implements. Examine the mowing ma
chine knives, file or grind out the nicks, put
a good edge on them, and alter oiling them to i
prevent rust, lay them carefully aside. Re- i
move all the gummed oil from the glaring and
journals of your mowers, thrashers, corn shel
ters, Ac.; have the blunted harrow teeth taken
to the Smith and pointed, and do not forget !
to have the plowshare laid anew, and the cut- j
ler of the plow sharpened. In a word, have j
every thing in such order that it will be readv j
when wanted. This, properly attended tr.wil
save to one half of the annual outlay for imple
ments. Try it for one season, and my word
for it the system will be adopted by every one
w ho has any disposition or desire to economise
Lis expenditures. ABXER BROOKS.
ARE TOR TROCBLED WITH RATS. —What re-I
ply do you make to the foregoing query ? I
None 1 presume, as none but " human ruts" '
nre ever found about a printing or editor's office, j
The fare is to slender for the four-legged de
predators. Well, perhaps some of your reader?
arc annoyed by them, and are desirous of gel
ting rid of the pests.
Some years ago I was much troubled with j
rats. Every part of my premises was over- |
rnn with them. Cats were *' 1,0 whar," dogs ,
could'nt touch them ; and as forshooting them
that was out of the question. The werrv eat
ing me up, and some tiling had to lie done,or I |
should soon have been nr.,t m inventus. In
looking around for some means for their des
truction, I came across tiie follow ing method,
which I carried out to the letter, end with !
most glorious results ; in fact. I gave themi
pills. Pills aud powders, yon know, kiil more ,
people than almost anything else ; why !
shouldn't they kiil rats? No reason in the
world. They are just n? effectual in the one j
case us in the other. 11. re is the receipt for 1
making them.
"Take equal portions of wheaten flour and '
powdered sugar, intimately mixed with one
sixtieth part of that weight of dissolved plio?- ,
phorus—say one quarter of an ounce of phos- ;
pliorus to one round of flour and sugar Cold
water should be added to make the inuss man
ageable, and the pills finely rolled in dry flour
and kept secluded front light and air - A couple
of pills may be thrown into each rat-hole, or
any quantity left on a plate in a datk situation,
by which the double object is attained of at
tracting the animals by the luiniuousnessof tlie
phosphorus, and preserving it from too rapid
evaporation. The piils should be replaced as
often as eaten, and that without grudging, as
although the slain may not lie foiyid.it may be
relied on that "every bullet has had its billet."
I made the application as directed, and I !
persevered in it until I cleared my premises j
entirely of the long-tailed rascals. No domes- j
tic animal will eat the pII but fowls. While !
I was applying the pills I lost a fine drake, i
which I attributed to bis natural proper sty i
for quack nostrums. He took a pill perhaps
The foregoing is, in the main, the
tion used by those persons who traverse tire
country, arid for certain solid considerations
pretend to drive out the rats by some hocus
pocus or legerdemain. They stay about the
prlace infested with rats for a day or two,feed
ing them with dainty bits to attract them to a
suitable place. They then give the pills, and
as these produce intolerable thirst, the rats are '
soon seen running to the water, where they die
from excessive drinking.
IIOOVE, on HOOVEN*. — Hoove being one of
the moss fatal maladies to which cattle are sub i
jeet, demands the most prompt attention. It
not being at all times convenient for the far
mer to have the advice of a Veterinary snr- j
geon, he may benefit by that herein given.—
Its causes are eating large quantities of clover
or other green or unwholesome food, which,
fermenting in the stomach, gives off large
quantities of hydrogen eras, creating very great
flatulence. This is well known to every far
mer. An animal thus affected requires immed
iate relief, or it dies. The stomach pump is
the most effectual ; ir. the absence of which,
give choride of lime, four to six drachms ; ui
trous either, may also he used with beneficial
results, aud is preferable to the knife.
tST- An advertisement reads as follows ; ,
" Stolen, a watch worth ten guineas. If the
theif will return it he shall be told where lie j
may steal one worth two of it, and no ques
tions asked."

and choice variety of trees, shrubs and vines. All orders
sent or given I w ill attend to filling and delivering my- <

the spring. As some people think that aurserv men
should replace all trees that do not live, I would say. i
to those buying of me, that Ido nut agree to do so, but i
