Copperas-water and diluted oil of vitriol poured over night-soil convert all the volatile into involatile elements. To command water in dry weather, andJ got riil of ths excess in rainy seasons, dcrp tillujt is equJly valuable. In the former rise, moisture accnd from the subsoil by capillary attraction ; and in the latter, the excess of water in the surface soil dc irendt into the subsoil to meet an exigen cy of an opposite character. The skilful control of water is the first lessod in good farming. Tho Cultivation of Flax In the U. States. The Farmers' Club of the American Institute held a meeting a few nights since, tot the purpose of discussing the " growth and cultivation of flax in the Uni ted States. Mr. It Underbill presided, lie proceeded to remark that the " form of the fibre of flax is round, while that of cotton is flat These facts are shown by high magnifying powers. Flax, when finely prepared, feels much like silk, and makes a splendid and delightful cloth, cool, a great conductor of heat, susceptible of the finest and fastest dyes, of superior durability, and suitable to the largest por tions of the globe the warm and the temperate regions. We must apply our genius to the question of rendering it as cheap as cotton, for it will grow in vast regions where cotton can not, and if we do not hasten, the world will soon be be fore us in garments of fine linen. It would be great triumph for us, if we can set the world the example of supplying mankind by machinery, with it, as cheap as cotton. A vast new field of industry will be opened for us, and our rapidly growing population require it, and all new avenues for pros perous progress." Mr. TallmaJge observed that the flax grower has two objects, one is the fibre and the other is the seed, and he contends that flax is congenial to every acre of our extended country. " Its production Hotting. 1st, by steeping it in hot water ; 2d, by steeping t in cold brook water ; 3d, by steeping it jn pool, stagnant water ; 4th, by dew rot ting ; 5th, by chemical process, new meth ods, not yet established. " Manufacture. To crackle, to dress by machinery; to spin by machine labor. " The spinning and weaving to be by machinery equivalent to the manufacture of cotton." v President Tallmadge then moved the fallowing resolution : - Tesolvcd, That the Farmers' Club re commend and desire the American Insti tute to provide and offer a premium to be awarded discretionary, in whole or in part, for the material, new essential advances and improvements in the culture, prepara tion, spinning and weaving of flax by labor-saving machinery." Mr. Ellsworth, late Commissioner of Patents, said : " I have the evidence here in my power, that we can supply flax chea per than cotton. I have tried it on our prairies. We make first a funce around the field we do it for 5110 per mile, and bo durable a fence, as yet, has not been made elsewhere. We run two deep fur rows to put the bottom of our posts in ; these posts incline to each other at an an gle. We place tide rails on one side of these angular posts ; we turn the furrows back again on the feet of the posts. Wc place our corn stalks when that is the crop, leaning stgaiiift these fences, and thus a shelter is formed for our stock. Wc plough with a beam nine feet long, sup ported in front by two wheels. We have no weeds the first year, and flax suliducs them afterwards. We get ten to fifteen bushels of flax seed per acre. Wc mow it with a horse power machine. We sow a field with bailey and flax in equal parts. Barley grows tallest both ripen at the same time. We separate the 6ceds by pieves which let one kind pass and stop the other." Destroying Plant Lice. The following simple and safe remedy is given : Pouroue ouart of boiling water upon one ounce of hag tobacco ; let it Hand until cold, and then strain and bottle it for use ; it will keep good a year if not wanted. On sprinkling of this will destroy the green fly upon any plant, without the least inju rv to the plant itself. The best method of applying it, is to take tho plant in one hand, and holding it with its head down wards, with a feather or brush sprinkle the tobacco water on the under part of the leaves, or if the plants are not in flowcr,all over them.

There are so many sources from which the materials to make manure may be derived, that the wonder is, how any farmer should neglect to improve his opportunities for making his farm as rich as his garden spot There are shores of creeks aud rivers lined with mud woods abounding in mould and leaves ; mould from head-lands and fence sides and corners mud and vegetable matter from the marshes, and the scrap ings of ditches and roads, in each, and all of which are comprised the true elements of manure, requiring nothing but a little labor, and composting, to make them all as good as horse dung a cart load of sta ble or cow yard manure, mixed with three loads of substances enumerated, will make the whole as good as itself 20 bushels of ashes, would do the same thing, while a dead horse, or a dead cow, cut up and composted with twenty loads, would make it all as rich as Goshen cheese. American Farmer. Early Bearing Trees. A Mr. Burt, who communicates with the New England Farmer, in relation to the early bearing of fruit trees, says : I have followed the grafting business for the last fifteen years, every spring, excepting the past one, set ting from 3000 to 4000 scions each season, and am always trying experiments. I have found that scions taken from an old bearing tree, will bear fruit in less than half of the time that they will taken from a young aud thrifty tree, and much sooner than they will from a medium-aged tree.

The Senate holds two sessions a day, and there is a large number of private bills to be reached. Dr. Wcthcrill is pressing his Divorce Bill The Senate has passed, by a large majo rity, the Susquehanna Railroad Bill, and we hope the House will concur. We un derstand the Company is required to com plete the Road to Sunbury before toll can be taken on any part of it. They are also to extend it up the West Branch, at or opposite Williamsport, thus forming a connection with Elmira and the N. Y. & Eric Road and also up the North Branch to Wilkes-Barrc, where it will unite with the roads of the Lackawanna Coal region, leading again to the N. Y. Si Erie Boad, and to New York City. This Boad we learn is to be built by Baltimore capital. The people of the Susquehanna country would have preferred a connection with Philadelphia ; but if Baltimore finishes these works, she will reap the profits. ttafOn Thursday afternoon last, the beautiful residence of Capt. Saml Hunter, at old Fort Augusta, near Sunbury, was destroyed by fire. It broke out in a large new barn, some distance from the house, but a strong wind prevailing, it extended quickly to the wagon house, and thence to the mansion. Four engines were soon on the ground, from Northumberland and Sunbury, but the heat and smoke were so severe as to make them useless. The fur niture of the house was mostly saved, but in the barn were lost hay, COO bush, corn, several cows ana calves, ten pigs, ana a carriage. The meadows on the I.-LdJ took fire from the sparks. Part of the loss is covered by insurance in the Lycoming Mutual Company. The origin of the fire is unknown. The time chosen indicates design, and it is fup- poscd by some to have been the work of accomplices of the ruffians in Sunbury Jail, to enable them to break out while the people were absent at the fire. Those prisoners have proved very troublesome. ISfOruo boasted prematurely that she was the second State ia the Union.

This is not the case in other, even less favored localities, as a glance at auy of our agric ultural exchanges will abundantly prove ; and there is no valid reason why it should be so here. From the promises heretofore made us by different agriculturalists in th vicinity, aud some a little furthur off, wc r.villv li'iil pvttiv.teil rtt. Vina timn fit linttii j v, '.-. ; had some slight glimpse of that 'good slight glimpse of that 'goodl J time coming, when agricultural communi cations would be showered in upon ns as plentifully as grasshoppers in h:irvest time. But al.is for the uufortunate Editor, so far these promises seem to have been 'more honored in the breach than in the observ ance' ; and when in the silence of our sanctum, we look at our empty ' pigeon holes,' and venture audibly to enquire, " Where are those expected communica tions" ? echo answers with melancholy cadence, " Not thar, no how !" whereupon wc tenderly 'wipe away a tear,' and straightway fall to work scissoring our " Cultivators" and " Farmers," et id omue genu, (and such-like chaps,) without mcr- CJ- e know it is objected by nearly every body whom wo have requested to contrib ute to our Farmers' corncr,that they are not used to write for the papers, and shrink from the trial. Others say they arc not good enough English scholars, and there fore could not write in as good st3'le as they would like to. And others again, that it is not likely anything they could say would be of much use or interest to any body else. In answer to all this let us again assure yr that these objections arc not well foun 1- 1. It is not necessary for these purpose that you should be fin ished scholars or accomplished writers. All that it needs is th.it the facts you wish to communicate be pit down in the plain, straight-forward i.nignage of every-day life, such as you won!;! use if telling the samel story to your ncig h'.-or, by 4 word o' mouth,' in common conversation. And this will be found to be an easy thing after a few trials, and vhat is now deemed, by many, an irksome task, would soon become a use ful and pleasant exercise. The printer always makes such corrections as may be found necessary, so that there is never any danger of communications appearing in a shape that you would not like. If you are afraid you may make bad spelling or bad grammar, allow us to state for your com fort, the fact that we hate received articles for the pnper, fr-nn educated men, gradu ates of distinguished colleges, who did not make as good ppdiing and grammar, as most school buys of twelve or fourteen years. What wc want is facts 'the result of experiments or observation, stated in a plain way, so ss ti be easily understood, a id we are sure a large proportion of our subserilicrs can do : his much for the Chron icle, if they will but set about it. Some of our old correspondents, " A Dutch Far mer" for instance, and others we might name, Went to Work in good earnest, and HTscvcringly, and the result was, We Were furnished with excellent articles, many of wnich were extensively copied into other papers, aud were the subji.-ct of discussion and favorable comment among our farmers at home. During the hist Court we had the pleasure of conversing with a number of farmers from this valley on various ag ricultural topics, and listening to discus sions among themselves, and if ,they had (as several promised us) put down on pa per for the Chronicle the one half of the new and suggestive ideas and opinions then expressed, w would have had a libc ral supply of serviceable original articles for our Fanners' corner. But none came; tho' we hope to be more lucky hereafter, and therefore suppose we must make up our minds to 'wait a little longer.'
