F'ii tradition, that Methuselah was in his OSth year before he mastered the mysteries of the alphabet, while he was so far advanced in his second century before he laid aside jackets and trowsers and took to cyphering. To acquire a knowledge of the world in those days, a man had to djepend on his own obser- ration, history and the Harpers not having been born.

From the Lancaster Farm Journal Liuie. The use of lime as a fertilizing substance for land, has long been known, and in many parts of the country has been brought to great perfection. There is, however, great diffi culty in the practical use of this valuable ma- !nure as 110 universal rule can be adopted for its application, ior instance, the quantity !n,usl be graduated, according to the cliarac- ter of the soil, and the'ncglect of this fact alone has produced the great difficulty. Deep soil, filled with vegetable matter, will take three times more lime than should be aPPlicl to thin soil, containing a much more Jimueu quantity. Then again, wet land will bear a much larger proportion than dry. The only safe rule to adopt is, for every man to experiment for himself, and after under standing fully the nature of lime and the char acter of his soil, he cannot go astray. It is very common to hear farmers, who have been induced to use lime, say that their land has received no benefit from it. The problem is easily solved they did not know how to use it. 1 havc tned uPn my land' for several experiments, and have con- in the mode of using it ""v" ,tlwcu tu MHU luat laim aa most materially benefitted by it, and I feel great confidence in recommending it to oth ers. I shall proceed, very briefly, to give my views of the character and 'efficacy of lime, as as a manure. I will state in the first place, that the use of this manure is so imper- j fecUy understood, m well as the office which !

Before it could be available, it would be ne cessary for the lime to become neutralized in the soil, and the additional aid of successive vegetation, such a3 might grow, to remedy the difficulty. After this process shall have taken place, it will produce in abutidance. Twenty or thirty bushels to the acre, for the , first dressing, is sufficient. It nlainly fol- , lows from what has been said' that a diffcr" ent soil, deeply impregnated with vegetable , . ' f J r . . "... I mould, will bear a mucli larger quantity of lime For such land. 100 bushels to the acre . ., . 1 1 t. i . 1 Uiat quantity upon any land, but for the first dreSBinff wouM graduate it from 20 to 100, according to the nature of the soil. Now as to the mode of its application. Generally, it is put upon a ploughed field in heaps, and spread, and afterwards, ploughed under. I regard this as a most pernicious JmnHi.nn;m;n(r Tn the first nln re the Rnnt . ........ ' i -) 1 where the heaps arc, receive too large a quan- titv. and in the next place by ploughing it un- der, the lime gets too deep to act successfully upon the vegetable matter in the soil conse quently its beneficial effect is lost. Lime is heavy, and its tendency is to sink.

There are many great notions entertained among bur farmers about making vinegar. The grand old plan was to put out cider or water and molasses in a cask to the sun, and expose it to the luminary with a bottle in the bung-hole. There are still as many ideas entertained about making cider as there are about making soft soap, and luck is frequent ly held to be the umpire who decides whether it will be vinegar or no vineirar. ' The reason why cider or other fluid mix tures change their nature and become vine gar, is owing to a transformation of the par ticles, and then a separation of one or more, and a combination of others. The oxygen of the atmosphere, although it is not now, as was once believed to be, the only acidifier, still it is the great one, and vinegar is formed by the cider parting with its carbonic acid gas, which it cannot do without absorbing oxygen. Thc reasonable 'way, then, to make vinegar rapidly and surely, is to expose the cider as much as possible to the atmosphere. The new way, and what is supposed by many to be a patent way, to make vinegar, is to let the cider percolate over a very expensed sur face. This is the way they make it in the vinegar manufactory. The apartment where it is made is freely exposed to the air, and is kept at a temperature of about GO degrees. The cider is left to run in small streams in to troughs with bottoms full of small holes; then from that over very fine wood shavings, such as soft maple; and let these be fully ex posed to the air,, and resting on a slatted bot tom made of clean bows or lathes, below which the vessel for receiving it should be placed. Vinegar can be made from molasses and water, grapes, corn stalks, beet roots, and many other substances, by this process in a few days. Cider, however, makes the best vinegar. Many modifications (for cheap ness) of the above plan may be resorted to, the grand secret being the exposure, of the liquids to be changed into vinegar in layers or strata to the oxygen of the atmosphere. There is not a farmer but with a cask, an old tub, and a few shavings, could make good vinegar in one-fifth of the period now requir ed by the common plans in use for that pur pose. In those vinegar factories introduced hereby Frenchmen, the plans adopted -are those we have narrated. Scientific Ameri can. Protection of Cows uguiusl Flies. As the 'Hy season" 13 approaching, I am reminded of a discovery I have made, (which should have been made public be fore,) to prevent the annoyance of cows by flies while milking. It is simply blanketing. A blanket should be provi ded for each milker, of such ample di mensions that it will cover the whole an imal, falling down as low as the knees, with the right corner scolloped for the milker. Make a loop for the horns. It may be made of any material, but coarse cottou being the cheapest and lightest recommend themselves. Animals un used to blanketing will of course at first demur, but by gentleness or slight coer cion, they soon become as gentle to the spreading of the blanket, as they are to the approach of the milker. Try it " it works like a charm." Ctdtivatior. To Kill Cockroaches. Mix equal quantities of red lead and Indian meal with molasses, making it about the con sistency of paiste. It is known to be a certain exterminator of roaches. A friend who was troubled with thousands upon thousands of them, rid his house of them in a very few nights by this mix ture. Put it upon plates and set it where vermin are thickest, and they will soon help themselves. Be careful not to have any article of food near by where you set the mixture. . Bkd-Bugs. There is a long article in thc Valley Farmer, by which it is es tablished beyond question that sweet oil occasionally rubbed over bedsteads, chair-boards, &c, will effectually prevent the appearance of bed-bugs. To Destroy the "Worms upon Trees. Heat a ladle or iron pot to that degree that oil will be evaporated as it is grad ually throwm into it. This should be held under the trees on which-worm3 are, in such manner that the fumes of thc oil will go into thc tree the worms will in stantly fall dead.- Oil is an active poi son to all worms and insects. Any sort of oil or grease will answer. A Sion as is a Sinx.
