AGRTCIILTUR
FROZEN MANURK.-WC cannot doubt
thaO'caffmanure is much injured by hard
frosts in winter. In most eases the ma
nor* from neat stock is throWn out at the
winderiti, where it is soon frArg,n, and it
"undergoes alternate change% of freezing
anclj'tiiiifliw through the winter.
This may be remedied by farmers who
are preparing to build new barns or miss
old ones higher. Barn cellars are ex
tremely useful to keep manure as well as
cattle fin freezing. And you frequent.
ly find room in a cellar to stow away large
quanties firr a while, till you hare tune to
clear the barn and form a large heap,.—
This heap will not be - much frozen. The
°lnside only will be filled with frost.—
Meas. "overturn.
HOW .TO WAKE Goon iluusn.—During
theAnnall loaf" excitement, sotnebody, in
a communication sent us, remarked that
every lausel:ctfer'did not "kneiii ben- . to
make bread. We ropy, for the benefit of
thoie persons as well as the rest of the
community, the following recipe, Which
the trenion News says has been success
filly tested 'for making loaf brentl, , 'hnt
breakftnq cakes, Ac., superior to any thing
of the kind before produced:
ifey and well rubbed together, two
teaspcionfuls..of cream of tartar, with one
quirt of flour—then dissolve three-fourths
of 'tiieqspeoitful of super carbonate of so
da io a itudicient quantity of sweet milk r
mix the whole together and bake imme
diately. If water be used instead of sweet
milk,'Firld a little shortening. II the above
directions be strictly followed, bread will
be itibtlyeed of superior lightness and
whiteness-,and no person having once
tasted of it made in this way would wil
lingly resrirt to the common method of pro
duciirthe-stair of life."
CUltOaS riCT.-It has lately been die
covered•that the flesh of animals which
areAillOr in the middle of the night, will
keepsnuelt longer than it will when they
are killed in 'the day time; and it is, for
this reason, preferred by those who pro
rdtritoned meals. Tina circumstance
proms that The flesh is littest for keep
ing when taken from the animal at the
time when the'respiration is slowest and
the temperature of the animal lowest.
A SIT or Ilvmon.—Wc do not relish
truth the less for being occasionally spiced
with a little humor. The following ex
traet from • the report of a committee on
logs, read before an Agricultural Society
~ d oviiiist," contains some excellent hits:
“Again : Some folks accuse pigs of be
ing filthy in their habits, and negligent in
their personal appearance. But whether
food is best eaten off the ground, or front
China plates, is, it seems to me, merely a
matter of taste and convenience, about
which pigs and men may.hoaistly differ.
They ought, then, to be judged charitably.
At any rate, pigs are not filthy enough to
chew tobacco, nor to poison their health
by drinking whiskey. And as to their per
sonal appearance, you don't catch a pig
playing the dandy, nor the females among
them, picking their way up this muddy vil
lage, after a rain, in kid slippers.
Notwithstanding their heterodox-notients
hogs have some excellent traits of charac
ter. If one chances to wallow a little deep
er in some mire hole than his fellows, and
so carries off and comes in possession of ,
more of this .earth than his brethren, he
never assumes an extra importance on that
account: neither are his brethren stupid
enough to worship hint fur it. Their only I
question.seems to be, is he still a hog ? If
he is, ditty treat hint as such.
And when a hog has no merits °lbis
own, he purer puts on aristocratic airs. nor
claims anY particular respect on account
of his family connections ; and yet some
Boos have descended from very ancient
The' untierstatuLtull well, the
comutolS sense maxim, “tivery tub must
stand, upon its own bottom."

id. For insurance no more is demanded than is
necessary to meet the expenses of the Company.
and indemnity against losses which may happen.
3d. The inconvenience of frequent renew els is
avoided by insuring fora term of fiveycars.
4th. Any person applying for insurance most
give Lila premium note for the cheapest_ class at
the rate of five per cont., which will beSat on the
1 00 0, for which he will have to pay $J 3u foruive
years and $1 50 for survey and policy, and on
more unless loss be sustained to a greater amount
than the funds on hand will cover, end then no
move than a pro rata there.- These rates are
much cheaper then then* of other companies, ex
