Rartrultural.
From the Germantown, Telegraph,
Wash from the Highways.
It is frequently the case that by cutting
a small channel and throwing up a tempo
rary embankment., the wash from an exten
ded range of highway may be conducted
into a field or pasture where it is much
needed, and may be made to subserve the
purpose of manure. Irrigating lands in
this way, is attended with very little ex
pense, and as the liquid is almost invaria
bly rich in carbonaceous matters, as well sa
in the materials for soluble humus, it acts
upon the soil with an almost immediate and
instantaneous as well as sustained effect.—
The increase of fertility resulting from
such irrigation, is often astonishing. Dr.
Franklin is said to have demonstrated the
important value of plaster as a stimulant
of vegetable life by a device which none
but himself would have probably conceiv
ed. He wrote by sprinkling finely pul
verized plaster on a field by the roadside
near Philadelphia, the words, "This has
been plastered," in colossal letters, so that
the sentence could be distinctly perused by
all who passed, first by the whiteness of the
plaster, and ultimately by the deep green
144 increased luxuriance which it produ
ced. In like manner might an advocate
demonitrate the utility of this method of
irrigation, were it not for the physical ob
stacles which necessarily render such a de
monstration impracticable. But in all ca
ses where water from this scource, is con
ducted all over fields, the demonstration of
its beneficial and highly fertilizing effects,
is at once rendered obvious and "eonvin
clog.' A deeper verdure clothes the sur
face--a more luxuriant vegetation follows
throughout the year, if the land is in grass;
and when plowed and cultivated, no mat
ter what may be the character of the crop,
it sustains its acquired superiority from
year to year—thus proving by the most in
contestible evidence, the benefit it has de
rived jrom the application, and judicious
ness of economizing this important agent
of fertility wherever it can be accomplish
ed without too great an expenditure of la
bor and money.
Even pure spring water, when flushed
over grass lands, is found to be highly
promotive of fruitfulness, especially in sea
sons of drought.
In Germany, persons go about the coun
try for the purpose of irrigating the lands
'of the husbandmen from springs, streams
and lakes. The. business is there reduc
ed to a system, and contracts are made to
irrigate for so much an acre. Streams of,
pure water are made to meander over the
surface of mowing fields.and through culti
vated lanes iS• plantations in such a manner
as to secure a considerable supply of this
indispensible liquid to every species of ve
getable production known. Even the hill
sides are irrigated, and when the fountain
is elevated, no part of the farm, however
large is permitted to remain unrefreshed.
The same system, to some extent, prevails
in Egypt and Holland. Canals of various
capacity, are seen pervading the cultivated
regions in every direction, dispensing fresh
ness and fertility, and adding incalculably
to the permanent fertility of the soil.
I find among us, many discreet farmers
adopting this mode of promoting their in
terests, and may we not hope, Mr. Editor,
that no one, who has the opportunity, will
refuse to avail himself of its advantages.
A PRACTICAL FARMER.
Bald Eagle Farm, Oct. 6, 1852.
PUMPKIN very excellent oil
may be prepared from pumpkin seeds.—
The seeds are first peeled, and then press
ed between iron plates, or 'wooden blocks,
with a screw press. The oil thus obtained
is said to burn well, last longer, give a bet
ter light than any of the common oils, and
emits very little smoke.
GUANO FOR GRASS LANDS.—The ap
plication of guano broadcast to grass lands,
has been found to produce a decided differ
ence in the crop. In several instances this
season, where Peruvian guano has been ap
plied at the rate of 200 lbs. per acre, about
the middle of April, the yield of hay has
been double in quantity, over the interme
diate lands not so treated; and in every in
stance noticed, it is believed that the dif
ference in quantity produced will amply
repay the cost of the guano. —Germantown
Telegraph.
DRYING GREEN CORN.—It is said to
be altogether the best method for drying
green corn, to take fbll-grown ears and in
a stove, baker or oven, to roast them as if
for eating. When cold, shell off the kernels
and give them a few days drying, and bag
away for winter use. A boiling of eight
or twelve hours renders it a valuable in
gredient for soups, or for eating with
moats, and is a wholesome and nutrious
food.
TIM POTATO BLOSSOM. —The potato
blossom this season is unusually large and
handsome. It has been stated to us that
whenever.the potato crop has been attack
ed with the rot previous blossoming has
been small and meagre. Is it so? Whose
observation has been directed to this cir
cumstance?
The potato blossom, by the way, is no
mean flower. Skilfully arranged and pres
sed with the potato leaf, in an herbarium,
we have known it to puzzle many an ar
dent lover of flowers to tell what it was.

Or - The genius of the Cleaveland Plain
dealer is about as profound as "Seth
Stokes, the man who knew how to manage
the women." Hear him :
Look out for the Women.
Young men ! keep your eye peeled when
you are after the women. If you bite at
the naked hook, you are green. Is a pret
ty dress or form so attractives Or a pret
ty face even? Flounces, boy, are of no sort
of consequence. A pretty face will grow
old. Paint will wash off. The sweet smile
of the flirt will give way to the scowl of the
termagant. The neat form will be pitched
into dirty calico. Another and a far dif
ferent being will take the place of the lov
ly goddess who smiled sweet smiles and
eat your sugar candy.
Keep your eye peeled, boy, when you
are after the women. If the little dear is
cross and scolds at her mother in the back
room, you may be sure you will get partic
ular fits all around the house. If she
blushes when found at the wash tub with
sleeves roolled up, be sure, sir, that she is of
the cod-fish aristocracy; little breeding and
less sense. If you marry a gal who knows
nothing but to commit woman slaughter up
on the piano, you have got the poorest
piece of music ever got up. Find the one
whose mind is right and then pitch in.—
Don't be hannging round like a sheep thief,
as though ashamed to be seen in the day
time, but walk up like a chicken to the
dough and ask for the firtiole like a man.
