Save the Leaves.
If Rro. Jonathan was as saving of mannres
ns John 1 >a!! is, he would be a better farmer.
No one knows until he has seen it, how care
ful English and European farmers and gard
eners are of everything which can be convert
ed into manure. And this is one ground of
their*superiority in agriculture.
Now, let us repeat w hat we have often said
that few thing are more valuable lor fertiliz
ing purposes than decayed leaves. They are •
hardlj inferior to barn yard manure. Gather
them up, now, this very mouth of November,
before they are covered by the snow. They
are abundant everywhere, lying in heaps and
windrows in the forest and "by the roadside,and
by the fences in every yard. The wood-lot
should not lie stripped clean of them ; but
doubtless every farmer's laud contains more of j
them here and there, thau he can liud time to
cart home. Gather them up, by raking, or
by sweeping with a large birch broom. Stack
them and pack them in the large wagon, ad
ding side-boards as high as convenient; you
will hardly get too heavy a load. Cart them
home, and use them as bedding for cattle and j
horses ; use- thcra for compost in the stable- '
yard ; use them to protect tender grape vines
and shrubs and plants in Winter. Strawberry
patches will fairly sing for joy under snch a
leathery blanket. By all means, save the
leaves, and use them.
A LEAK IN* THE STABLE. —Not a leak in the
roof, though that would be bad, but in the
iloor, which is worse, and many leaks too, !
leaks between every plank ? Why not make ■
the floor tight us possible, and have one gutter
near the heels ot the stock, to carry oil' the
urine into a tank below,or into aheap of muck
or other absorbent ? Or, in place of this ar- '
rangeiucnt, have the lloors well covered with !
litter, of straw, peat.tan-bark,saw-dust,plaster
or any dry absorbent material. Any body can
see that this would save nearly ail the urine
for useful purposes, and wouid make the air of
the stables pleasant and healthful to the stock
and their owners.
The importune of this economy will appear
when we rcfleet that the liquid voidings of a
cow range from nine hundred to twelve hun
dred gallons a year, according to the age and
size of the animal : and of a horse,from eleven
to fourteen hundred gallons; which are worth
more, pound for pound, than the soiid excre
ments.
As we have often said,the Chinese,and Ger
mans, and other European farmers, save this [
portion of their manure with far greater care
than we do. They would as soon let diver slip j
through holes in their pockets, as this manure I
leak through holes in their stable lloors.— j
Doubtless, American farmers waste millions of j
dollars annually in this way. Friendly reader j
how much to you waste?
CoI! FOISTS LOIS Cows.—Now that the cold I
season is setting in,let the cows, especially the j
milk-givers, have all needful attention. They
should he well housed and well fed. The
stables should be ju>t moderately warm, well
ventilated,'clean, auu provided with suitable
bedding. A dde from the mere matter of food
and drink, the animals should be kept comfort
able. This matter can hurdiv be over estimat
ed.
'i lien, as to fodder : part of this, of course,
should be straw and hay and corn-stalks ; bit
to expect cows to give much niiik on such lean
fare, is folly. Favor them with messes of chop- '
ped roots, of cut straw,-or stalks mixed with ! i
meal of some kind. A favorite ' mess' for
cattle, with a friend of ours i.s this : Cut up
liay, or straw, or sulks, in pieces not more
than an inch, or inch and a half long, put the
provender, in a tub or tight box, and pour
boiling water upon it ; then sprinkle on a little
salt, and cover the whole with a little bran or
meal to keep the steam in. When cold, feed
it in !ue->e> id a hu.diL'l at a time. Good us
this is, it - i HI. 1 be varied from time to time, ]
tor cows like variety, as well as men. Cows 1
: houal be salted two or three times a week.— 1
In mild weather they should range by day iu a
cumnn liou- yard, protected on two sides, at
l< isl, by covered sheds. And this yard should
have a pen-stock of running water,or a trough
kept lull :rom a good pump : the lirst is the
best.
A !>*, •.NTACES OF Pl LVF.RIZING THE Soil.—
'1 he ellee > ol pulverization or stirring the soil
are numerous :
1. It gives free scope to the roots of vege
tables ; and they become more librous in a
loose thau in a hard soil, by which the mouths
or pores become more numerous, and such
food as is the soil lias a better chance of being
sought alter and taken up by them.
-. It admits the atmospheric air to the I
spongioles of the roots—without which no plant
can make a healthy growth.
b It increases the capillary attraction or
spongelike property of soils, by which their
humidity is rendered more uniform ; and iu a
hot season it increases the deposit of dew, and
and admits it to the root.
4. It increases the temperature of the soil
in the same spring, by admitting the warm air
and tepid rain.
5. It increases the supply of organic food.
The atmosphere contains carbonic acid ammonia
and nitric acid, —all most powerful fertilizers
and solvents. A loose soil attracts and con-
Lain and dew, also, coutaiu
them. And when the fertilizing gases ure
carried into the soil by rain water, thev are
absorbed and retaiued by the soil, for the use
of plants. Oil the other hand, if the soil is
hard, the water runs off the surface, and in
stead ol leaving these gases iu the soil, carries
off some ol the best portions of tlie soil, with
it. ilius, what might bo a benefit becomes an
injury.
G. By means of pulverization, a portion of
the atmospheric air is buried in the soil, and
it is supposed that ammonia and nitric acid are
formed by the mutual decomposition of this
and the moisture of the soil—heat also being
evolved by the changes.
7. Pulverization of the surface of soils serves !
to retain the moisture in the subsoil, and the j
prevent it from being penetrated by heat from j
a warmer, as well as from radiating its heat '
to a colder, atmosphere thau itself. The
effects are produced by the porosity of the
pu.u-rzed stratum, which acts a mulch,especi* 1
ally on heavy soils.
S. 1 uherizatioa, also,as the combined effect
of several of the preceding causes, accelerates !
the decomposition of the organic matter iu the
soil, and tile disintegration of the miueral
matter ; and thus prepares the inert matter of
the soil for assimilation by the plants.

CAUTION.
" To he, or not to be— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of ontrageons opposition,
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
FTMiK proprietor of the Argus takes o casion in stiver-
L rising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a sort of a concern," which is hoping '* to delude
the public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the pnblic bring their
binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he
has taken great pains t s itist'y the public I was the " best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus will
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lic ?"* If 1 have been engaged in a fraud, he has been the
principal. But 1 refer to my work during that time as
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, I have resumed business here on my own ac
count, as I know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and bawful calling for my support
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi
ness to give public satisfaction.

IMPROVED TIGHT STITCH
Sewing Machines !
I) RICKS reduced to $.70 and upwards, for
Earn lies and Manufacturing establishments. Let
Manufacturers, Planters, Farmers, Housekeepers, or any
other persons in search of an instrument to execute any
kind of kiiul of Sewing now done by machinery, make
sure they secure the best, by examining ours before pur
chasing.
A lew of mady reasons why the SEWING MACHINES
of I.ADD, WEBSTER A CO., are prefered above all
others
1. They arc so remarkably simple in their construction.
A child can operate them and understand the mechanism
2. They are the strongest Sewing Machine made. It is
almost impossible to break or get them out ot order.
3. They arc sure in their operatiou ; finishing the
work in a uniformly perfect manner.
4. They make a tight lock stitch, alike on both sides of
the work, which cannot lie unraveled.
5. They stitch, hem, bind, fell, run and gather, with
out basting.
fi. They sew equally well the lightest and the heaviest
fabrics.
7. They sew over the heaviest seams without changing
the tension or breaking the finest thread.
8. 1 hey use any No. of Cotton, Thread or Silk directly
from the spool.
0. They use a straight needle; curved ones are liable
to break.
10. The needle has a perpendicular motion. This is
absolutely necessary for heavy work.
11. They have a wheel feed; none others are in coustan
contact with the work.
12. They run easily and almost noiseless
-13. They are not liable to oil the dress of the operator.
14. They do not require a screw-driver to set the needle.
15. They do not have to be taken apart to oil or clean,
lii. They are capable of doing a greater range of work
and in a mora perfet manner than any other Sewing Ma
chine ; as is proved by the result of our challenge lor a
trial, which has never been accepted.

) rTMIE reputation of this Machine Is now fully establish
-1 ed as the most reliable Machine in the market for
I family use, and has been attested too by thousands of the
t most respectable families in the Union.
This Machine makes the celebrated " Double Lock
: Stitch," the only one made by machinery that meets all j
the requirements of Family Sewing. Each stitch is tied |
twice, so that every one is"securely fastened and wholly |
? independent of all the other stitches for strength, so that j
if the seam is cut or every fourth stitch broken, the sew- j
! ing must hold good while the fabric will wear. The
, machinery which makes this stitch is a marvel of sira
' J plicity, requiring no mechanical skill to manage it, nor
! does it require adjustment more than the mere change of |
' ; thread and neeilles to adopt it to the character of the
' | work to be sewed—coarse or tine as the case may be. It
; will sew gauze laces, and all varieties and kinds of lab
| rics between and including heavy beaver cloth. without
" changing either needles or thread equally well, and re
) turn to either variety of work with perfect satisfaction.
1 No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as |
' much.
A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch an- ;
. swering all the requirements of the family, sewing coarse
r and fine work equally well, was the great desideratum iff
the home circle, previous to the invention ot EDWIN j
j CLAIIK'S RKVOI. VINO LOOCBK. The stitch is beautiful,
1 trong, and elastic, and will not rip in wear or in acci
i dental breaking a thread.
Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the
