if pure, would be as valuable as any other fer
tilizer, and much more permanent than guano.
It is said that large quantities of the natural
DhosDhate of lime exists in the interior of
K
Spain ; it is also said to hare been found in
tha State of New York, and New Jersy ; and
as Pennsylvania is now moving onward in the
science of farminjr, the talents and energy of
her schools may, from the creat variety of
limestone rock in our State, discover the nat
ural nhosnhate of lime, which would to of
great value. In Clearfield county wo have a
kind of limestone which when burned and
slacked, shows every shade of color, from
white to indigo blue and black. It has been
moderately used on the land by a few farmers,
and appears to add greatly to the fertility of
rhc soil. Bone dust is another form by which
the farmer can add phosphorus to the soil.
We will row notice some organic elements
of plants. Ol all the organic elements of plants
nitrogen is most important. It is found laigc-
ly in gluten, that most uutritiouspart of wheat;
one part of nitrogen and three of hydrogen
form ammonia, the most desirable fertilizer.
While) oxygen and hydrogen are taken into
the circulation, through the leaves, and car
bonic acid by the leaves and roots, nitrogen,
it is believed, is taken up by the roots only
and not in the gase ous form, but when united
with hydrogen, or with oxygen (nitric acid or
aquafortis 1 atom of nitrogen and 5 atoms
of oxygen) forming nitrates of potash, soda,
&c. As farmers now know the great impor
tance and value of ammonia, they should also
know how to increase its amount on their
farms, and how to keep it there. It is very
volatile, and readily unites with carbonic and
other acids, and while united with the former,
it is still volatile, and passes away freely, as
the fanner may know by the smell in barn
yard manure. The farmer can keep it in his
manure heap by sprinkling it from time to
time with oil of vitriol ; or jK-rhaps a better
plan would be to scatter sulphate of lime (plas
ter of Paris) occasionally. In both cases the
sulphuric acid unites with the ammonia and
as it is commonly termed "fixes it," i. c. de
prives it of its volatility.
Some farmers have made composts in which
they have mixed fresh burnt lime with the
manure of the stable, the lime having a stron
gcr attraction for carbonic acid than ammo
nia has, takes it from the ammonia, sets it free
and it passes off and is lost. The effect would
oe me same wnn guano, lo increase tne
quantity of ammonia, the farmer should econ
omise by saving all his farm yard manure,
and not let it lie all summer exposed to the
sun and rains. Green manuring, especially
with clover or field peas, is a good plan for in
creasing the ammonia, for they take up a very
considerable quantity of nitrogen. The ma
nure of the common fowl is rich in ammonia,
and also in phosphorous. It is estimated that
3 or 1 hundred pounds of this manure is equal
in value, to 16 or 18 wagon loads of stable
manure. It will pay to build a house for fowls
and in this way tbeir manuiti V .U.
ted and saved ; this I know from several years
experience.
Permit me further to engross your attention
on the subject of nitrogen. Every farmer
knows that each time he works his corn with
plow or cultivator, it grows more rapidly for
a week or more, though his ground be pretty
free from weeds. Why is it so I In this work
he does not add manure to the field. Tho
same lam informed has been noticed in grow
ing wheat by sowing it in alternate rows of 3
or 4 feet in breadth, and using the cultivator
between thein. Does not the crust on the
surface of the soil become impervious to the
air and the breaking of it let in the atmos
phere, cuabling the roots to take up more ni
trogen. A scientific gentleman in England.J (Mr.
Wilkins,) by experiments, has in some degree
jit least proven this principle. His method is
to make a kind of a vat or tank, say 5 feet
vide and 20 feet long, lie makes a bottom
or floor of clay, or other mateiials impervious
to water, about 16 inches below the surface,
witb sides of the same material 1 oroitrches
high. Iu this bed or tray there are two drains
made on the bottom, with tile or stone, a lit
tie inclined., so as to let any water or other
rluid iass to the lower end, where there is a
gate or plug to draw oil all the fluid in the
tank when desired, and let the air pass freely
through the whole length of these drains, the
removed soil being replaced in the tank over
these drains. At the upper cud of each drain
a tube cxteuds from the bottom to the surface
ami oue also at the lower end of each drain,
by which he can know how high the soil is
saturated by the fluid in the tank.
The seed is sown or planted over these
drains. He then uses manures in a liquid
form, and some times being offensive, by ap
plying in this way are soon deodorized by the
soil ; and 'being applied to the roots of the
plants, and being divided into atoms, Is soon
taken up as proper food for growing vegeta
bles. 11c found by experiments that the ad
mission of air to the plant, to cause a rapidity
f growth at least two days in seven over com
mon culture. Now it appears that this admit
t jng air benefits mostly by the roots obtaining
nitrogen, for oxygen and hydrogen arc taken
nto the plant through the leaves. By this
method he gained time, so as to raise two
crops of hemp or flax in a year. Peas eight
times the quantity grown by the usnal meth
ods. He cut five crops of grass from the
same ground of the first year's sowing where
only one crop grew before. He grew Mangel
Wcrtzel at the rate of sixty-nine tons to the
acre.
A lady can easily practice this method in
promoting the growth of her geraniums, &c,
by having a small hole near the bottom of her
flowering pots, stopped with a cork; then
place in the bottom large gravel, two or three
inches deep, cover this with earth as deep as
she desires, and plant her flower roots. One
tube will be sufficient for the flowering pot,
and if the manure be offensive she can place a
cork ia the top of this tube, and 'prevent the
'escape of ammonia in the room. The fluid
should be drawn off once a-weck, or oftener,
and renewed by fresh manure. The use of
flnirl m:miirp is not. tipvv l.oi.In lon n!((1 Inn or
"" uHU0 vvs... ""0
since in Germany and, other countries ; but
the method is new. Warm manure, in the
spring, would bring the plants fonvard in ad
vance of the season.
By the analysis of rain water by chemists,
we learn that very considerable quantities of
ammonia arc spread over the surface of the
earth. Atoms of potash and lime arc also
found in rain water. These all-important ele
ments, being taken up from the earth by evap
oration, thus, by the immutable laws of the
Creator, they are carried to every region, giv
ing life and energy to the vegetable kingdom.
If man acts properly that part designed him,
(tilling the ground,) i.e., plows deep, they
will sink low into his field and remain for the
benefit of his crops ; whereas, if the surface
of his land be hard and impervious to water
they will again be evaporated or pass away
with the water. That was a wise savin?
Plow deep while sluggards sleep,
And you'll have corn to sell and keep."
The farmer will gain much iu culture by
deep plowing, and much can be said in its fa
vor, and also of draining.
I must express my great satisfaction and con
gratulate me iarmcrsoi oeutrc county in their
great good fortune in having the State Agri
cultural School established in. their midst
Situated, as it is, in the centre of the State
few complaints will be made against its loca
tion. As it is in the heart of the State it will
like the heart in the animal structure, send
forth knowledge from the centre to every por
tion of the Commonwealth. Young men will
become expert in chemical agriculture they
will become geologists new food for plants
will be discovered, and new methods practis
ed, by which larger crops can 1? grown, and
in less time than heretofore. The time has
even now arrived, in the present state of agri
cultural knowledge, that the fanner need not
leave his farm and go to the far west because
his land is worn out. lie can resuscitate his
fields in a moderate length of time, and make
them productive, if he will but use the knowl
edge and means already disseminated.
High encomium is due to that gentleman o
your county, who liberally donated the valua
ble farm for the State Agricultural School,
from the farmers of this great State ; and they
will not withhold their esteem and thankful
ness from your enterprising citizens who so
magnanimously subscribed $10,000 additional,
for the furtherance of this great, good and
useful enterprise.

LET US REASON TOGETHER.
HOLLO WAY'S PILLS.
WHY ARE WE SICK ?
T has been the lot of the human race to be wcijh
ed down by disease and suffering. HOLLO-
WAY'S PILLS arc specially adjptcd to the relief
01 tne iw..iy. t!ic JLS, tho DELICATE,
and the INFIRM, of all climes, ages, sexes, and
constitutions. Professor Hollow-ay personally fu-
terintends the manufacture of his medicines in the
uitcd States, and offers them to a free and enlight
ened people, as the best remedy Uie world ever
saw for the removal of disease.
THESE PILLS PURIFY THE BLOOD.
These famous Pills arc expressly combined to op
erate on the stomach, the liver, the kidneys, the
lungs, the skin, and tho bowels, correcting any de
rangement in their functions, purifying the blood,
tiie very fountain of life, and thus curing disease
iu all its forms.
DISPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAINTS.
Nearly half the human race have taken these
Pills. It has been proved iu all parts of the world,
that nothing has been found crjuai to them in cases
of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and stomach
complaints generally. , They soon give a healthy
tone to these organs, honrcver much deranged, and
w hen all other means have failed.
GENERAL DEBILITY. ILL HEALTH.
Many of the most despotic Governments have o
pencd their Custom Houses to the introduction of
these Pills, that they may become the medicine of
the masses. Learned Colleges admit that this
medicine is the best remedy ever known for per
sons of delicate health, or where the system has
been impaired, as its invigorating properties never
fail to afford relief.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
No female, young or old, should be without this
celebrated medicine. It corrects and regulates tho
monthly courses at all periods, acting in many ca
ses like a charm. It is also tho best and safest
medicine that can be given toChildren of all ages,
and for any complaint; consequently no family
should be without it.
Ilollowny's Pills are Uu best remedy Inott-n in tiie
tcorld for the following Diseases:
Asthma Diarrhoea SocondarySymptoms
Coughs Chest Diseases Stone and Gravel
Colds Fever and Aguo Venereal Affection3

IMPORTANT TO HOUSEKEEPERS and
EltUIT GHOWEKS. ARTHUR'S PAT-
eat Air-Tiht Self-Sealinar Cans and Jars, for
Preserving Frish Fruits, &c This invention for
nuicu a paicm nas Keen obtained, commends it
self to the attention of Housekeepers and others,
on account of its great simplicity, and tho effectu
al manner in which it accomplished a very desi
rable and useful object
The cans and jars arc constructed with a chan
nel around the mouth, nerr the top, into which
the cover fits loosely. This channel is filled with
a very adhesive cement, prepared for the purpose
and allowed to harden. In order to seal the ves
sel hermetically, it is only necersary to heat t'le
cover sltsrhtly, and press it into pi a. It may be
opened with as much ease A3 it isclosed, by slight
ly warming the top. The ordinary tin cans, used
for tho same purpose for which this is intended,
cannot bo closed, us is well known without tho aid
of a tinnsr; are difficult to open, and are generally
so much injured iu opening as to Lc useless for
future service.
By this simple contrivance, the proccssof her
metical sealing is placed conveniently within the
reach of every individual; and fruit, vegetables
and butter (if properly prepared) maybe kept,
w ith their natural flavor unimpaired, tor an in
dctinit-u length of timo. For sale by
