PRESERVING BUTTER.—A patent has been
secured l>y Wm.'Clark, of London, lor the
following method of preserving butter: —
The butter is first well boaten in the uual
manner after churning, then placed between
linen clothes and submitted to severe pres
sure for whey and water. It' is now com
pletely enveloped or covered with clear,
"tfhite paper, which l is coated on toth sides
with a preparation of the white of eggs, in
which 15 grains ol salt is used for each
egg. This prepared paper is first dried,
then heated before a fire, or with a hot iron,
just prior to wrapping it around the butter.
It is staled that butter may be kept perfect
ly sweet without any salt for two months
when thus treated, if placed in a cool dry
cellar. The submitting of butter Ir. pres
sure, as described is a good plan, and one
which we recommend to all our farmers.—
They can easily practice it with a small
cheese-press.
HUNGARIAN GRASS. —This grass has attrac
ted a large share of attention in the West,
where it has supplied, to a great extent, the
place of timothy grass, which it is difficult
to grow on account of its winter killing.—
It is nearly or quite identical with the com
mon millet,-Scfurtu fis/mantcrr, growing per*
'haps not quite as large-strawed and a trifle
smaller seed, or about the same as millet
on rather poor soil, sowed quite thick
That it is valuable as a forage plant, all
know who have ever grown the millet to
any extent; and to the farmers at the West
it has been a great boon, from its quick
and luxuriant growth. It is an annual, thriv
ing best on warm, rich, sandy soil, and may
safely be calculated to yield from two to
three tons of cured hay per acre which
horses or cattle prefer to the best timothy.
To be obtained in the best iorm for hay, it
should be cut as soon as the seeds on the
tqps of the stalks begin to turn, and before
the bulk of-them are ripe. We commend
it, either as Hungarian grass or millet, to
the attention of farmers, not (or making
their fortunes, but as as excellent auxiliary
as food for farm stock.
AN EASY WAY TO CUTIVATB POTATOES
Prepare the ground well and if not a strong
turf the ground htay be furrowed very shal
low. Drop the potatoes any desired dis
tance apnrt you please, cover them with a
plow, making a sharp ridge. You will dis
turb some of the end hills by turning around;
but with a little more seed and a hoe that
evil may be remedied. The potatoes will
•be covered rather deep; but some days alter
•planting take a common log chain, hook
each end of the chain around a good bunch
of limber brush, and hitch your team to a
centre link of the chain, putting a spreader
into the chain in order to carry the front end
•of the brush in each furrow, letting the
brushy parts lap over each other; lay a short
board across, and you may ride at ease, and
see your ground swept as clean as you
could desire. After the potatoes have be
gun to break ground, repeat the same ope
ration, and you will be pleased to see all
the small weeds brushed out ol the hills.—
The remainder must be done by hoe and
-cultivator.
STARTING SEEDS EARLY —Rev. Daniel Em
erson. Summit County, Ohio, writes that he
has been successful in giving garden seeds
an early start, in the following manner:
Having selected the quantity needed, each
sort is tied up by itself in a cloth, the name
being plainly written on a slip of paper and
enclosed with the seed. The packages are
then buried about two inches deep in the
earth for a week or two. When ready to
plant the kinds needed for planting are tak
en from the bags and used. They will be
found to have swelled, perhaps sprouted,
and ready to grow. If the ground should
be quite dry, it is best to water the drill af
ter droppufg tile seea ana men
-dry eaT'.'h.
Mr. t. says by that plan he has never
failed to raise plants from every seed plant
ed, though when put up they were often
sprouted. If each seed is placed where it
is wanted to grow it will save the lubor of
thinning, though many prefer to thin their
rows, leaving the most prominent plants to
grow.
LEACHED ASHES.—Thoroughly leached ash
es contain no potash. In some places how
ever, they are not leached thoroughly and
such ashes, when applied do good. Oc
casionally lime is mixed with them pre
vious to leaching, to increase the causticity;
when this is the case, this lime will pro
duce good effect on soils destitute of it. All
ashes contain more or less charcoal; this
absorbs ammonia from the air, or substances
containing it, when brought in contact, and
this ammonia is given out of plants during
their process of growth. The charcoal is
therefore useful, when applied to the soil,
as a fixer of ammonia, and it is one of the
best. If the soil wants potash, leeched
ashes will not supply the lach; if ammonia,
barn-yard manure is the cure; if lime, bet
er apply a few bushels of the common uir
slaked article or mari; if a fixer of ammo
nia, plaster (ground gypsum or sulphate of
lime), is the best.
DAIRIES AND BONE MANURE.— An English
paper in commenting upon this subject re
marks that the Cheshire dairy fanner, by
the free use of bone manure laid on his
grass lands, makes him larm, which at one
time, before the application of bone ma
nure, fed only twenty head of cows, now
feed 40! In Cheshire two-thirds or more,
generally three fourths, of a dairy farm are
kept in perfect pasture, the remainder in
tillage. Its dairy farmers are commonly
bpund to lay the whole ol their manure, not
not on the arable, but on the grass land,
purchasing what may be neces-ary for the
arable. The chief improvement, besides
drainage, consists in the application of bone
manure. In the milk of each cow, in its
urine, in its manure, in the bones of each
calf reared and solu off, a farm parts with
as much earthy phosphate of lime as is con
tained in half a hundred weight of bone
dust.

J A BRETT, OF THE NEW YORK LUNG
INFIRMARY.—My connection for the past
eighty-ears with Ihe above Institution, as
Chief Physician, and a twelve years' course
of steady devotion lo the Cure of Pulmonary
Consumption and its kindred disease, togeth
er with my unrivalled opportunities and ad.
vantages ol pathological researches—aided
not a little by a perfect system of Mebical In
itiation—has enabled me lo arrive at a de
cisive, direct, and successful course of treat
ment fur the positive and radical cure of all
diseases of the Throat, Lunge, and Air-Pas
sagei. By Inhalation, the vapor and ourative
properties ol medicines are directly address
ed to the diseased organs and the integument.
I do not advise the use of medical Inhalation
of any kind, to the exclusion of general treat
ment ; and although I consider it a uaelul ad
juvant in the proper management of those
fearful and often fatal diseases, yet f deem it
very necessary that each pa'ient should have
Ihe benefit of boih general and local treat'
meal. The success of my treatment in the
above diseases, and in the high character of
ihe Institution over which I have so long bad
the honor to preside, are 100 well known to
need any eulogy or comment from me. At
il.tf t*-;i.i.nn nf many private -- >1 ]>."fcii

aid the above charity has been long and lib

1 have concluded to make such arrangements
ae will bring the beuefits of my experience
and treatment within the reach of all, andttol
confine myself, us heretofore, to those only
who entered Ihe Infirmary, or who were aide
to visit me at my office. Hoping therefore
that the arrangement will give entire satislac
lion, both to my professional brethern and
Ihe public, 1 would respectfully announce in
conclusion that lean be consulted personally or
by letter, on all di-eases us above, and that the
medicines, the same as used in Ihe Institution
brepared lo suit each individual case. In
haling vapors, Medical Inhales, &c. &c. will be
forwarded by express to any putt ol the Uni
ted States or Canadas. Teiims -My terms of
| treatment by letter ure as follows, viz.: sl2
per month lor each patient, which will include
medicine sufficient lor one month's use; al
so, Inhaling Vapor, and an Inhaling Apparat
us. Payments a- follows: $6 lo paid lo Ex
| press Agent on receipt oi the box of Medi
cine, and the balance $6 at the expiration of
ihe month, if the patient is cured or is entire
ly satisfied wMi the treatment. Patients, by
giving a lull history of their case, and their
symptoms in full, can be treated as well by
letter as by personal examination. Patients
availing themselves of Dr. Jarrett's treat
ment may rely upon immediate and perma

over thirty days. Letters of advice promptly
