STAR OF THE NORTH, To prareiftXati. Rice, and Inserts, Working in the Grnnery. These little pests are a great eye-sore to dill farmers and grain dealers, and a little ■care and trouble will keep them away, and at the same time the remedy will be a ben efit tOßtbsiskinds of coarse grain. For tlte benefit of those who would like to keep grain all summer, or a year, I will, in a brief manner, give tire course to pursue that the loss by these little thieves may be com paratively small. After the grain is in the bin and made level and smooth, put on the top about four quarts of fresh slacked lime ; let this be spread evenly over the grain. This will keep ou rats and mice in the bin that con tains one hundred bushels. This lime must tie slacked so it looks like floor fresh Irom tlte miller's bolt. If the lime is teft upon the surface of the grain,the rats and mice will not skip and play there a great deal before they will have to sneeze some ; and, further than this, there is always enough grease or oily substance remaining upon the leet of rats and mice to make the lime adhere to them. After they have been once into it they will not return again the second time. You may likewise throw this lime about their haunts with much benefit ; but if in sects are to be kept out, you must mix the lime with the grain us you put it in the bin, and shovel it through and through until it is mixed thoroughly ; then place on the top four quarts of slacked lime. Four quarts of unslacked lime is sufficient for one hundred bushels of grain ; and it will do no hurt in many kinds of gtain if it is never taken out, for it is an alkali which is good for botls in horses. It will neutralize the acid in hog fctvil, and prevent their vomiting ; and, in fact this small quantity of lime woukl be a benefit to most kinds of stock if it should be ground with the grain. If you apply the lime to wheat, buck wheat, and corn, or the like, and do not want it in the grain, get out your fanning mill and run it through. To slake lime perfectly, put into a tight, stout vessel and pour on boiling water, about half as much water as lime in bulk ; cover tip the lime as soon as the water is in, and leave it until cool. Good unslaked lime will more than double its dimensions when well slaked.—A. L. SMTH, Gtnthtt Farmer. To PRESERVE .GREEN GAGES. —The following leceipt appears to be a good otte : Pick and prick all the plums ; put them into a pre serving pan, with cold water enough to ■cover them ; let them remain on the fire until the water simmers well: then take ofT and allow them to stand until half cold, putting the plums to drain. To every pound of plums allow one pound of sugar, which must be boiled in the water from which the plums have been taken ; let it boil very fast until the syrup drops short from '.he spoon, skimming carefully all the time. When the sugar is sufficiently boiled, put in the plums, and allow them to boil until the su gar covers the pan with large bubbles; then pour the whole into a pan, and let them remain until the following day ; drain the syrup from the plums as dry as possi blle, boil it up quickly and pour it over the plums ; then set them by ; do this a third •or fourth time. On the fifth day, when the syrup is boiled, put the plums into it, and let them boil for a few minutes ; then put them into jars. Should the green gages be over-ripe, it will be belter to make jam of them, using three fourths of a pound of su gar to one pound of fruit. Warm the jars before putting the sweetmeats in, and be careful not to boil the sugar to a candy.— Ger. Tel. Scientific Facts. A slight blow is sufficient to smash a ■whole pane of glass, while a bullet from a gun will only make a small round hole in it; because in the latter case, the particles of glass that receive the blow are torn away from the remaider with such rapidity that the motion imparted to them has no timo to spread further. A door standing open which would readily yield on its hinges to a gentle push, is not moved by a cannon ball pass ing through it. The ball, in passing through overcomes the whole force of cohesion among the atoms of wood but its force acts for so short a time, owing to its rapid pass age, that it is not sufficient to afTect the in ertia of the door to an extent to produce -motion. The cohesion of the part of the wood cut out by the ball would have borne a very great weight laid quietly upon it; but suppose the ball to fly at the rale of twelve hundred feet in a second, and the door to be one inch thick, the cohesion be ing allowed to act for only the minute frac tion of a second, its influence is not per ceived. It is an efleet of this same princi ple that the iron head of a hammer may be driven down on its wooden handle, by stri king the opposite end of the handle against any hard substance with force and speed.— In this very simple operation, the motion propagates so suddenly through the wood of the handle, that is over before it can reach the iron head, which, therefore, by its own weight, sinks lower on the handle at every blow, which drives the handle up. TRIALS or A BLOOMER.—A Dress Reform Convention in session at Auburn last week was well attended. Mrs. Joy, of Syracuse, made the speech on the occasion, Mrs. Choate, of Syracuse, related, with evident embarrassment, the many trials and tribu lations she passed through in adopting the dress of the reformers. Her friends, to the number of thirty or more, left her, and she felt alone in the world. When she passed through the streets of Syracuse, her native place, no gentleman would touch his hat to lier, but on many occasions had actually avoided her by poping down an alley or running up a neighboring stairway: When ehe passed through the streets the sly in uendoes, the winks and shrugs of the men on the sidewalk,went to her soul like steel; but she had resolved on liberty or death, short skirts or nolhi®, and,regardless of the loes of friends, she clung to the Bloomers CHEAP EDITION OF THE literary gazette, AND FAMILY PICTORIAL, PUBLISHED monthly bv MARIE LOU *• ISE HANKINS & FANNIE LUCKLE. under the immediate superintendence ol Col.

A good instruction book for the Piano hast long bean wanting, and Mr CUSHLKS GHOBG has performed the labor, in getting this one up in the most admirable [andsatisfactory man ner. It will prove itself one of the tnosl valuable guides in the instruction of the art of playining on the Piano. Considering the author's well known ca pacity, and long and unremitliiug devotion IO ihe tusk of elementary teaching, we have strong reason to hope that the public are now to be furnished with a llioiongn, ays tenialic, progressive, and entertaining meth od for the Piano. We can confidently recommend it to leathers and pupils aa better adapted to ihe purpeses of elementary instruction than any others with wltich we are acquainted. The plan pursued in this work is substan tially the same as that developed in Ollen droff's method of teaching languages, it commences with the simplest elements.-* The progress made will be gradual, so thai every step will be perfectly iuieligible, and he rendered of positive value to the pupil.— Every difficulty is met wiib single, "and, af ter thorough analysis, overcome by practice. Tbismeihod will, undoubtedly, ptovide teachers wiin a well digested, progressive, and emeriaing plan by which a sound and correct knowledge of the art of playing the piano may be acquired with comparatively little labor, and in so short a spaoe of lime as will almost seem incredible to those who have confined themselves to some of the te dious systems heretofore in u.-e. This work contains ten engraved figures, illustrating the different positions of the hat.de and lingers ; and also a likeness of the author. Its typographical accuracy and appear ance have never been equalled in any mu sical work that has heretofore been issuett front the press in this or any other country. Copies will be sent by mail, free of post • age, utt the receipt of the marked price. . LEE & WALKER, £ 722 Chestnut St. i'hilsdelswy^ HIRAM €.
