<£avmcv'3 Department. Culture of Buckwheat. The following which we Copy from the Utica Herald, is from the pen of X. A. Willard, Esq., of llerkimer county, N. Y., and is worthy of at tention at this time •• The best soil for buckwheat is a dry, light, «andy loaln. but it may be grow on most any 'and if properly pre pared. As an exterminator of weeds the plant can be employed to a good purpose. The daisy, Canada this tle and quack (witch grass) can be destroyed by plowing in mid-summer, and roasting the roots by exposing them to the rays of the hot sun, while the rapid growth of the buckwheat overshadows and smothers out what remains alive of these pests, more especially if the crop be followed by clover or oats. The following method has been found effectual in cleaning out quack from grounds overrun with this troub le some grass. Tlow in the fall and again in the spring, then harrow at intervals of a week or oftener, as the quack grows up to the middle of June. Sow the buckwheat by the Ist of Ju ly, and if the land is not rich use ma nure so as to grow a heavy crop of Ktraw; this will smother the quack. Buckwheat straw, if cut before frost, is palatable to cattle and sheep, and can be used with advantage during the early season of foddering. Miny people throw the straw away or pile it up for manure. This is bad econ omy as it can be used, and thereby bo a saving to the hay-mow. When sown for a fertilizes or fod der, two bushels of seed should be sown to tho acre. As a fertilizer it is not so valuable as clover, but has one advantage, inasmneh as it can be grown on land where clover could not be profitably employed for this pur pose. It should be turned deep un der the soil while plants are in blos som, and when used this way rapidly enriches the land. Buckwheat forms a very good "pasturage for bees," and the apiarian can make it worth while to grow the crop for this purpose. The honey made from buckwheat is inferior to that made of clover, yet this is in part compensated by 'extra quantity and the rapidity by which the stores are gathered. Some years, during the clover season, it is so rainy that bees are. unable to gather their supply of honey, A field of buckwheat may then prove the means of saving the swarms through the winter. Last year was a season of this character, and hund reds of swarms were unable to col lect enough food for winter: hence there were immense losses of swarms. But we have observed in several in stances when buckwheat fields were convenient last season to tho apiary, the loss of swarms were less, and in many cases no more than usual. In Europe the plant is extensively grown as a food for bees. Buckwheat requires care in harvest ing to prevent loss from shaking off the seed, more than any other crop. Some writers recommend cutting as soon as one-third the seed are turned brown ; others say two-thirds. If we wait for all to ripen, the earliest and best part of the grain is lost. Per haps the best plan is to cut when one half the seed are turned brown : the unripen grain then draws enough nu triment from the straw, which is suc ctilant and juicy, to fill out and ma nure the grain after it is cut. The most approved method of harvesting is to cut with a cradle, rake the straw into bundles and set up. It will be often necessary for them to remain in the field for a week or two before they are sufficiently cured. AY hen ready to be carted from the field, the grain should be threshed out imme diately, or as soon or may be after the loads reach the barn. Tift max imum yield of buckwheat is from 30 to 50 bushels per acre; 25 to 30 is considered a fair crop. The suc cess of buckwheat is affected by the weather to which it is exposed in the several sages of its growth. In this respect it is more susceptible than any other kind of grain. In grow ing the crop successfully much de pends not only on the general state of the weather throughout the season, but also on the particular times which may have been chosen fur sowing. A week earlier or later often makes a very great difference, and yet, not withstanding this uncertainty, the crop, it is believed, all things consid ered, is one of the most remunerative a farmer can grow. To KEEP IIAMS.—Mr. Brooks, of Tioga county, given a method of keeping hams which has never failed with htm.—lie has tried them in ealt, in grain, in pounded charcoal, in dry ashes and sewed up in cloth and whitewashed, . but thev would either mould or suffer injury some other way. He then made sacks for them of a yard square of good sheet ing, putting them up before infected by flies, one in a sack.—Sweet hay is cut up about one inch long, and putin the sacks, around the hams, keeping them from the bag. They arc then tied up audhungin the smokehouse, or some cool, dry place ; the hay and bag will keep away the flies, and allow the escape of moisture, so that they will not mould.—lf well cared and thoroughly smoked,*one may dopeud on having good haws as long as they laM, or for years. • The bag will last for a generation—Tho.-e who have not yet secured their hauis for this season will do woll to try this plan. From the Germantown Telegraph. Remedy for the Apple Tree Borer. MR. EDITOR, —I desire to say something about the apple tree bor er, an enemy from which we have greatly suffered in our attempts to secure healthy trees and good crops. So far as my own trees are concern ed, I think I have found a remedy. I planted an apple orcharil eigh teen years ago, and the trees thrived very well for live or six years, when they began to droop and look sickly. Up in examining them I found the borer in great numbers, having done considerable damage, and some of them appeared to be past recovery. I went to work and took them out. After removing them I was about to apply coal tar, but I was told it would be a worse enemy than the borer. I thought a while, and decided to ap ply urine, from the cowstable, having tanks and appliances to secure all this valuable liquid manures, as every farmer should have. I applied this copiously around the bottom of the trees, and washed the trunks thor oughly. The result is that I have n'ot a borer in my orchard, and the trees have completely recovered, and give me abundant crops. 1 have been using this remedy for three years and it has well repaid me for the labor required ; and I think , I can commend it confidently to my brother farmers who will first care-1 fully remove the borer and properly , apple it, say twice a year afterwords, j It will be seven years this spring j since I planted five apple trees. I Three of the five were attacked by | the borer, killing one, and the other | two looked very sickly. I removed j the worms, and upon the remaining j four used the urine freely ; they re-! covered and bore this season very fine j fruit. Threo years ago the coming spring, I planted thirty-six apple trees, and at once applied the urne copiously, and there is not, to my knowledge, a single borer in the whole of them ; besides they have grown and look remarkably well. Some of my neigh bors, who planted trees at th* same time, obtained at the same nursery, complain of the d"predations of the borer. Believing this, Mr. Editor, to be a remedy, when properly used, I think it my duty to communicate it to my brother farmers through your interesting columns. H. D. How Ladies Should Dress, As you look from your windows in Pa ris. observe the first fifty women who pass; forty have noses depressed in the middle, a small quantity of dark hair and a swar thy complexion, but then what a toilet! Not only suitable for the season, but the ape and complexion of the wearer. llow neat the feet and hands ! How well tho clothes are put on, and more than all. how well they suit each other! Before American women can dress per fectly. tliey must have the taste of the French, especially in color. One reason why we see colors ill-arranged is that the different articles are purchased each for its own imagined virtues, and without any thought what is to he worn with it. Wo men, while shopping, buy what pleases the eye on the counter, forgetting what they have at home. That parasol is pret ty, but it will-kill by its color, one dvess in the buyer's wardrobe, and bo unsuita ble for the others. To bo magnificently dressed costs money; but to be dressed with taste is not expensive. It requires good taste, knowledge and refinement.— Never buy an article unless it is suitable to your age, habit, style, and the rest of your wardrobe. Nothing is more vulgar than to wear costly dresses with a com mon dolain, or cheap lace with expensive brocades. What colors, it may he asked, go best together? Green with violet; gold with dark crimson or lilac ; pale blue with scar let; pink with black or white; and gray with scarlet or pink. A cold color gen erally requires a warm tintto give life to it. Gray and pale blue, for instance, do not combine well, both being cold colors. White and black are safe wear, but the latter is not favorable to dark or pale complexions rink is to some skins the most becoming; not. however, if there is much color in the cheeks or lips, and if there be even a suspicion of red in either hair or complexion. Peach color is per haps one "of the most elegant colors worn. Maize is very becoming, particularly to persons with dark hair and. eyes. But whatever the color or materials of the en tire dress, the details are all in all; the lace around the bosom aud sleeves, the flowers—in fact, all that furnishes the dress. The ornaments in the head must harmoniza with the dress. If trimmed with black lace, some of the same should be worn in the head, and the flowers which are worn in the hair should decorate the dress. HE PAID IN ADVANCE.—A cotempo rary says:—" There is a mau up in our country who always pays for his paper in advance. He has never had a sick day in his life—never had any corns or tooth ache—his potatoes never rot —the weevil never eats his wheat—the frost never kills his eorn or beans—his babies never cry in the night aud his wife never scolds. aniWtlways wears moderate sized hoops. Reader, if you would witness like results on your own part, go, thou, and do like wise." THE BROOK.

A man ou his trial for murder, having been found guilty by the evidence, is sup posed to have been successfully defended by his counsel In the following speech, which is quite as good a warrant for the juries so often render as the usual reasons by which juries attempt to justify their finding: " Thou shalt not kill." Now if you hang my elieut you transgress the com mand as slick as grease, and as plump as a goose's egg in a lofet's face. Uentle racn, murder is murder, whether com mitted by twelve jurymen or an humble individual like my client. Gentlemen, 1 do not deny the fact of my client having killed a man ! No such a thing, gentle tlemen. You may bring the prisoner in " guilty," the hangman may do his duty, but will that exonorate you? No such thing. In that case you will be murder ers. Who among you is prepared for the brand of Cain to be stamped upon his brow to-day? Who, freemen? .Who,in this land of liberty and light ? Gentle men, I will pledge my word not one ol you has a bowie knife. No gentlemen, your pockets are odoriferous 'with the fumes of cigar cases aud tobacco. You can smoke the tobacco of rectitude in the pipe of a peaceful conscience; but, hang my unfortunate client, and the scaly alli gators of remorse will gallop through the internal principles of your animal viscera, until the spinal vertebrae of your anatom ical construction is turned into a railroad for the grim and gory goblins of despair. | Gentlemen, beware of committing mur- Sder! Beware, I say, of meddling with | the eternal prerogative ! Gentlemen, I : adjure you, by the manumitted ghost of ; temporary sanctity, to do no murder ! 1 | adjure you, by the name of woman, the | main spring of tho tickjiug timepiece of | time's theoretical transmigration, to do no j murder! I adjure you, by the love you : have for tho esculent and condimental | gusto of your native pumpkin, to do 110 murder! I adjure you, by the Ameri- I cau eagle that whipped the universal game j cock of creation, and is now roosting on j the magnetic telegraph of time's illustri j ous trasmigration, to do 110 murder! And lastly, if you expect to wear store-made coats ; if you ever expect free dogs not to bark at you ; if you never expect to wear boots made of tho free hide of the Rocky Mountain buffalo; and to sum up all. if you ever expect to be anything but sneak ing. low-flung, rascally, braided small ends of humanity, whittled down into iudis tinctibility, acquit my client and save your country. The prisoner was aequttted, of course. Pemisylvanians, To Arms! The stirring address of Gov. Cur tin, in another column, dispels all doubts as to the formidable character of the invasion. It is a stern fact that the force relied 011 to resist the invader, has been compelled to fall back. Baltimore and the National Capitol are immediately threatened ! The call to arms is sounded under an actual emergency, and 110 patriotic citizen can disregard it. Inactivity j now becomes a crime, our sole duty a j prompt response to the call to arms! j If the invader is not met and over come at the threshhold, it may not : be many days before ho will be in j our own neighborhood. Western Pennsylvania and our own teeming city are a tempting prize. The sum mons by the Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth does not magnify the crisis. It lays upon every citizen a solemn duty, which we feel sure those of Western Pennsylvania will seek neither to evade nor postpone. We are not particularly advised of the steps which will be taken under the stern realities of the crisis, but presuufe that means will not be w anting to muster in and send forward promptly, all who volunteer. Now if we are men, and love our country, let us shew it. To arms ! is the call. To arms ! our duty ! Pitts. Com. NEW YORK, July s.—The Paris cor respondent of the London Globe, says the Alabama made two attempts to board the Kearsage but her commander out-manoe uvred Semmes, aud finally sent a projec tile right through the Alabama's boiler. Then seeing what had occurred he bro't all his guns to bear on the pirate in a con centrated broadside from the starboard, and made a breach of four yards in length under her water mark, when she began to sink rapidly.

Ttir NEW YORK Tiunuxt, first issued April 10, 1841, ' has to-day a larger aggregate circulation than any other newspaper published in America, or (we believe) In tho world. Compelled a year since to increase tho price of its several issues, or submit to the pecuniary ruin of its proprietors from the very magnitude of its circulation, It has probably since parted with some patrons to whom its remarkable cheapness was a controlling recommenda tion; but others have taken their place, and it hna now more than Two l!undr<-d Thousand subscribers and regu lar purchasers—an execs of at least Fifty Thousand over those of any rival. Am! this unprecedented currency it has achieved by very liberal expenditures in procuring early and authentic intelligence, by the fearless expres sion of convictions, by the free employment of ability and industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in any department of our enterprise, and by unshrinking fidelity to tho dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free dom. By very large outlays for early and authentic advices by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents with the various armies of the Union, and by special of- j forts to furnish such Information respecting Markets, Crops, new discoveries or improvements in Agriculture, &<•„ as must specially interest farmers.we have ossidiously ' labored to make a journal calculated I » meet the wants and subserve the Interests of the Producing (passes.— \ ThM end we have at least measurably attained: for no ; other newspaper exists in America or Europe which is ! | habitually read bv nearly somativ farmers and their fam- I J ilics as I* TIM TKJJU'N K I onlay. \Ve slmll labor to increase i both the number and the satisfaction of this bv far the ! ■ most numerous class of Its patron*. i During the existence of the Whig party, this paper | supported that unity, though always sympathizing with ' the more liberal, piogrosive, Anti-Slavery "wing" there of. When new issues dissolved or transformed old organi zation* through tho spontaneous uprising of the people of the Free grates nga:nst tho repudiation <»f ti:e Mi-souri Rostriclion, The Tribune heartily participated in that movement, and was known as Republican. When the long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to tho Slave Power culminuled inbvirt treas n and rebellion, it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this en- | spiracy as paramount t<» all other coiieiderations. and de voted all its energies and. efforts to the maintenance of our Union. In e.M-i y great controversy which ha* divided our country, it has been found on that sib- which natu rally commands tho sympathy and support of the large majority of (school-homes and the decided minority of grog-sho| s. and so doubtle-s will be to to the last. Ardenllv desiring and strivinfor the early mid endu ring adjustment of our National distrnctioi£,The Tribune leaves the time, the nature anil the condition* of that ad- i justnient implicitly to those lawfully in authority, con- j tiding in their wisdom and patriotism, anxious to aid i them to tho utmost in their arduous responsibilities and not to en i bar rasa them even by possibility. Firmly be lieving in the A post, lie rule—'"First pure thon peacea ble"—bidding that the total and final extirpation of Sla very is the true and only absolute cure for our National ills—that any expedient that stops short of this can | have but a transient and illusory success—wo yet pro pound no theory of "reconstruction" and indorse none that has been propoundad by another—neither Snm ner s. nor Whiting's, nor any of the various Copperhead devices for achieving "Peace" by surrounding the Re public into the power of its traitorous foes—but, exhor ting, the American People to have faith in their Oovorn ment, tore enforce their armies and replenish their treas ury. \»o believe that, if they but do their duty, a bonign Providence will in duo timebiing this fearful struggle to such a close as will best subserve the true greatness of our country and the permanent well-being of mankind.
