gtgyifltUutal. House Plants. WATER AND WATERING. —It is desirable that plants should be watered with rainwa ter ; but as this cannot always be done,wa ter from wells or pipes must in such cases be used, but should never be used in a cold state, as a quart of boiling water to a gal lon of cold will in a great measure rectify it and save the cultivator the mortification of seeing the leaves of his plants turn yel low and drop off. So important do I con sider this point that I never give cold spring water even to kitchen garden crops ; and when in charge of a place had daily a copper kettle to supply hot water for all purposes of watering syringing ; aud for syringing I consider it should be as warm as one can comfortably bear the hand in.— To promote the growth of the plants in April, May or June, or syringing should be done on the afternoon of bright days, just as the house is losing the lull force of the sun's rays—say from three to five o'clock. The moisture will then be diffused into va por, instead of hanging coldly about the plants, as it would do if given at a later period of the day ; aud to syringe in the morning may be attended with danger, for the sun striking upon the wet foliage might disfigure it. Syringing in a house will scarcely be required, excepting during the period named, while the general stock is making its principal growth ; even then plants in flower must be shuun d, but the object sought in syringing is not as much to drench the plants as to create a soft growing atmosphere, which may be accom plished, if done before the sun is wholly oft the house, by throwing the water into the air and upon the roofs aud walls. Any in dividual plant or climber,on the other hand, that shows the presence of the red spider, at whatever season, must be soundly sous ed{; and this may be best done in the case of pot plants, by laying them down upon a bass mat, and playing the syringe well at the under sides of the leaves ; aud this must be repeated often,until the spiders are put to flight. Watering at the root is an important matter ; if plants are not supplied with as much as they require they do not attain to the perfection, even in stature or flower, they are capable of, and are, in conse quence, more subject to the attack of in sects. On the other hand, if supplied with more than they require, the soil turns sour, the leaves of the plants turn 3 - ellow,and it soon puts on anything but a pleasing appearance. Then, in order to shun these extremes, use observation, and give water whenever the soil seems to be approaching a state of dry ness, and at no other time ; this may hap pen twice a day, r twice in a week, but give it then, and give it effectually,so that it passes out at the bottom of the pot.— Plants that have filled their pots full of roots, and plants in active growth, will be found to require much water in warm weather, but less in dull and damp weath er ; while others that have not so filled their pots, or that are not so vigorous, would be only ruined by a like application. The same rule holds good in the applica tion of liquid manure, and in the using of pans to set the pots in : both of the latter do more harm than good, unless the pots are full of roots. The best liquid manure for pot plants is made by steeping horse and dry cow dung in a tub or tank, so con structed that the liquid can be drawn off clear, for turbid manure water renders the pots unsightly. The above is simple, and can scarcely do harm ; but guano and oth er artificial manures.must be used with ex treme caution, say no more than half an ounce to a gallon of water. — Germantown Telegraph. Letter from a Pennsylvania Butter Dairy. Er>s. Co. GEXT.— I have just received, and here-with transmit the rigid rules and gen eral economy in butter-making, observed at the dairy of one of our Keystone Country Gentlemen, where as prime, delicious but ter is always made as ever came from the la id of Goshen,or any other butter latitude. Here is the whole formula, clear, concise and reliable. C. GARXET. "MY DEAR Slß —Agreeably to request, I send you the system by which we are gov erned in the management of our dairy. "To make superior butter requires a com bination of superior materials and condi tions —good feed, suitable place for keep ing milk and cream, practical experience and strict attention to small matters. Ex treme cleanliness and a sharp eye all arouud comprises the requisites needed. Butter is of a very delicate and sensitive nature— the most easily affected by contact with un pleasant odors of any article devoted to ta ble consumption. Some years ago we had a whole churning of butter ruined by pla cing it in a neighbor's vault over night to harden, in consequence of the mortar used in the construction of the vault not being thoroughly hardened. "Our summer feed is principally clover and timothy grass. In winter,ground corn and oats in equal proportions, clover hay and corn-fodder, with oat straw occasion ally, if bright and in good condition. All fed dry. Formerly we cut the fodder and mixed the meal well through it. Then im mediately after each feeding put a mess in soak for the succeeding one. But the cows neither looked or produced so well as un der the present management, while the ex pense of time and labor was largely increas ed. "We use a cave built in the southern slope of a sharp hill, requiring but seven steps at the entrance, while the back part is nearly ten feet below the surface, the top being covered with about four feet of earth. The bottom is laid with marble, and the cave separated into three apartments--the first for straining milk,working and weigh ing butter, Ac. The second is exclusively for milk and cream. The third—adjoining the ice-house—for hardening butter in warm weather. "We usually milk from twenty-five to twenty-eight cows, and have them coming in fresh thronghont the year, which keeps the butter uniform in quantity and quality. We use no thermometer in churning—set the milk four inches deep in tin pans. Have a butter worker, but keep it in the garret to season. Keep water and hands entirely from contact with the butter, or as much so as possible. Work the buttermilk out, and the salt in, with a paddle. Salt to taste. Make in pound aud half pound prints, and forward it to the city in butter tubs with coolers attached,the tubs holding from forty to seventy-five pounds, which enables us to furnish it to our customers in a con dition equal to that in which it left the cave. In cold weather we use a coal fire in the cave to supply the heat necessary to make the cream rise freely, and enable us to con vert it into butter expeditiously. ' Every manufacturer, vender and consu mer of butter ought to know that the efflu via from cooking provisions, raw vegeta- 1 Lies, fish, musty cellars, Ac., will spoil the finest butter in a few hours. I am, dear sir, very truly yours. Tiros. 1101-HLVS." I Row 1/iJ.I, Montgomery Co. Pa Economy in Fencing. In a short tour among my brother farm ers, I have been much surprised at the en tire absence of economy exhibited by their mode of fencing ; many of them seem to have lost sight of the end and aim of econo mical fencing, viz : to enclose the greatest amount of space with the least possible amount of fence. On the great point, which should always be borne in mind, is that the shape of the field has everything to do with economical fencing. Many seem to thiuk that to fence one acre will require just so much fence, without reference to the 6hape of that acre. That this is wrong may be readily demon strated by having recourse to a little .ritli metic. A ten-acre field in the form of a square will require two hundred and sixty four panels of fence, measuring ten feet to the panel ; the same sized field in the form of a parallelogram, having one side double the length of the other, will require about two hundred and eighty-three panuels of the same leu.gth If we were to continue the application of our arithmetic a little farther, we would find that the most econo mical form for fencing is a circle -that is,a circle will enclose the greatest amount of space with the smallest amount of fence ; the next point of economy is the square,and as we recede from the square towards the parallelogram, we increase the amount ot fence necessary to enclose the same amount of ground. There may be other things, such as wa ter, woods, Ac., which may influence the shape of the field, but no doubt there could be more attention paid to the important point. Many of our farms burn the upper part of their old fence posts after they have be come rotted off at the surface of the ground ; this is a great mistake, for with these posts can be made an excellent division fence. Let all these broken posts be sawn off one length, aud after setting up each panel, with the bottom of each post upon a flat stone, the fence may be "staked and rider ed," and will make a fence which will turn any kind of stock, and will last until the rails rot off, and then after resetting will be as good as it was at first. Another mistake often made is to allow a division fence to stand too long without re setting. The best way and time for mov ing the division fences is to cultivate the farm regularly, and in this way one divis ion fence can be made to serve for several fields ; for instance, suppose a range of i fields side by side, the first in with wheat,j the second with oats and the third with j corn ; now, between the corn and oats you will not need a fence for that year, nor for the next four or five years, so that this di vision fence may be moved somewhere else where it is needed. In thus moving worm fences, there is another important point gained ; a division fence between two square ten-acre fields will occupy about four hun dred and fifty square yards, which should produce six bushels of corn,four of oats,and three of wheat. These with their straw,will be worth at least 811,50 : deducting one third for expenses, we have 7.65§ to pay for the trouble of moving the fence, which however will be amply repaid by the ensu ing crops of grass, which will be in creased, both in quantity and quality. I think that by more attention to economy in fencing, we might both do with less mate rial than is now used, and at the same time make it accomplish all the ends aimed at. I have found that,by keeping the outside fences in good condition, there will be no need of the bottom rail of a post-and-rail fence, and that the under rail of a worm fence may be better employed in the form of blocks to raise the corners, for no good farmer allows his pigs to range at large in his fields. Of course this will not apply to farms where sheep are kept. Fence posts generally give way first through the lower hole, or between that and the surface ; if the lower rail is not made use of this part, of the post may be left heavier and unbow ed. GEO. P. ROGERS. ' Eagle Farm, July a, 180(3. The largest Farm in the World- I observe a note in your issue of an 8,000 acre farm in Bureau Co., 111., and of Mr. J. S. Alexander's farm in Morgan Co., 111., both of which will pass for fair-sized Illinois farms. But the farm which is no doubt the largest cultivated farm in the world, and, I believe the best, is owned and cultivated by M. L. Sullivant, Esq., formerly from the vicinity of Columbus, Ohio, now of Cham paign Co., 111. He owns aud presides over 70,000 acres of the best land on this hemis phere, 2.3,000 acres of which is under fence, and in actual improvement and cultivation ; the balance is used in herding. I will venture the opinion that there can not be found 5 acres of unservicable land on Mr. S.'s entire 70,000 acres. Their pro ductiveness is unsurpassed. Almost all of Mr S.'s farming is conducted by labor sav ing machinery, so that it is estimated that, throughout, one man will perform the aver age labor of four or five as conducted on small farms, lie drives his posts by horse power ; breaks his ground with Comstock's "spades mows, rakes, loads, unioads and stacks his hay by horse-power ; cultivates his corn by improved machinery ; ditches any low ground by machinery : sows and plants by machinery, so that all his labor ers can ride and perform their tasks us ea sy as riding in a buggy. I had the pleasure of being present when he harvested a thousand acres of his wheat ; this was done with 's "Header's"—about eight or ton men and twenty horses cut and safely stacked away about 200 acres a day, and performed tin- work better than I ever I saw it by the old modes. To give all the improved modes of farming employed by this king of agriculture, would require more space than you would like to spare. Notwithstanding all this labor saving ma chinery. Mr. S. employs from 100 to 200 la borers, some 200 horses and mules, and a large herd of working oxen. Not having the exact date before me, I will not venture to give the enormous re turns in bushels or tons, of the products of this great farm.' Some estimate may be made from the magnitude of the farm,taken in connection with the fact that the quality of the soil is unequal by the very host Scio ta bottoms.— Cor. Cin. Inquirer. RECEIVE FOR BREAD.— I usually take two utrnpikes, or yeast cakes some call thein pour a little luke-warm water on them, just | enough to soak them soft ; then I take about three quarts of lobberd milk, and stir in flour until it is a thin batter ; add the turnpike and two talilespoonfuls of salt,and set it in a warm place for the night. In the morning I add a teaspoouful of saleratus and flour enough to raako it firm enough to mold into loaves. I left it stand about ail hour, then put it in bread tins • let it stand another hour,then bake it fifty minutes,and never fail in having delicious bread. In winter I use buttermilk instead of lobberd. A DLCHESS GO. HOUSEKEEPER.

SMITH, M. 8., would re spectfully inform the inhabitants of Bradford County that he is permanautly located in Waverly, N.Y., where he has been in the practice of his profession for tire past four years. He would say that from his long and suc cessful practice of 25 years duration, he is familiar with all the different styles of work done in anv and all Den tal establishments in city or country, and is better pre pared than any other Dental operator in the vicinity to do work the best adapted to the many and different cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist , as he understands the art o! making his own artificial' teeth, and has facilities lor doing the same. To those requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to his new kind of work which consists of porcelain for both plate and teeth, and binning a continuous gum. It is more durable, more naturai in appearance, and much better adapted to the gum than any other kind of work. Those in need ot the same are invited to call and exam ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and often t mes for lite. Chlorofoim, rtlier, and "Aitrous oxide" administered with perfect safety, as over tour hundred patients within the last four years can testify.
