7t The " Americdn Farmers Magazine." From this well-filled monthly, published and.edited by J. A. NAsH, Ann Street, New York, at $1. a year, we give our readers this week two or three interesting articles. The first to which we invite their attention is, Good and bad Farming. if there be what our heading indicates, then it is owing to the fact that there are good and bad farmers. Did the earth bring forth spontaneously, in all latitudes aui lo calities, then there would be no occasion to speak of good farming and bad farming, nor - of good farmers and bad farmers, for there would be nothing to do but to gather the spontaneous productions of the earth. But this is not so; for it has beetf decreed to man, that by the sweat of his face he should eat bread. This implies labor, whose appli cation and direction constitutes the principal difference between good and bad farming. For the same sun shines, the same dews dis til, the same showers decend, the same breezes sweep over the plains of the bad farmer that do over. the acres of the good. The latter is diligent, meth)dical, skilful and enterprising, while the former is wattiug in all these, and more, for he is a slothful man, whose portrait is so vividly drawn in an old oriental volume well known to our readers. The good farmer takes care to have plenty of firage, for without forage he can keep no cattle, no horses, no cows. Grass lands, both for hay and pastures, are indispensable; and root crops are also essential to aid in feeding live stock. Besides these, wheat, barley, buckwheat, oats, rye, and corn, must be pro duced to feed and sustain man. But, says the bad farmer, wealth is the se cret of success with my neighbor, the good farner. le bas inherited money, or else has made it in other busiinea, and can therefore outdo one who has inherited nothing and made nothing but what he has got off frtm the far:n. this may be true in your case, wiuei it may be also with many well to-do farmers. Remember, it is good fartmiig that pays. Ba-lnever does. So far is it from thii, that it not only fails to pay, but imnpov eriihes hiin who is eugiged in it. So wan can afford ti raise seven bushels of rye per acre,-or'ten busbels of wheat, fifteen of oats or barley, twenty of corn, &c., while good farmers produce of wheat and rye each from thirty to sixty bushels per acre, eighty of oats, and seventy-five to one hundred of corn, and two or three hundred of potatoes. No wonder that bad farming leads ulti mately to the abandoning of.the business, be cause it does not pay. True, it doe< not pay, never did for any length of time, and never will. There are no more independent poo plo in the world than good farmers, and few more miserable, dependent and wretched than bad farmers. It is the purpose of every philanthropic man, and more especially is it bo with those who conduct the press, to greatly multiply the latter class by duuinish ing the former. Then shall good farming be the rule, and bad farming the exception. May the day be hastened, when this shall be ve rified. M. M. There is much good sound reasonling in the above hints on good and bad farming. We now give somethirng from the same jour nal, of a more scientific nature, and which s'ould be thoroughly understood b~y every tiller of the soil. Chemiistry of Agriculture. &da.--This alkali, in various combination-, -estists in all soils and manures, and constitutes a part of the food of all plants, more of some, and less of others. 1. Claide of &odium, (common salt,) has in many districts a decidedly tertilizing influ ence. A small quantity of salt is absolutely necessary to the growth of crops. Its hens fit, as a fertilizer, on any particular field, de pends upon whether the soil already contains *- sufficient of it; for if it does, then more is not required by the plants of an ordinary 'ro tation; but if not, the addition of a little will produce an increased growth of crops. The question, whether a soil contains suffi cient ot it, mybe decided by analysis; but a pretty gojument may be formed, by the location. Inuar situations, and regions along the coast, not more than eighty or a bundred miles inland, are supplied with it in the spray from the sea. Hence, it is usually found that for ordinary crops, salt is not as beneficial near the sea as farther inland. Another indication may be obtained from observing the crops, part'cularly the cereals. If the straw in any given region is feeble, not well glazed, inclined to lodge, it is an indica. tion,--not a certain proof by any means, but an indication, that salt does not exist in sufficient quantity in the soil. When this indication is observed, it would be worth while, at least, to try the effect of salt. True, it is not salt that forms the glazing of straw. Silica is the substance which forms the glazing; but some alkali is requisite to render the silica soluble; and the soda in salt has been found by practical farmers to answer this purpose. Abstract science may have suggested the prehability that such would be the result; but practice. In this as in many other cases, 'has confirmed the theory. In England, where science has taught, and prac tical men have experimented more accurate ly, perhapa, than in any other country, the farmers have long believed that the effect of a small application of salt is to stitlfen the straw, and thus to enlarge the kernel'and render it less liable to blast. Salt destroys small weeds; where deficient in the soil, it improves the quality of pas tures, rendering the feed more palatable to animals; probably, under the same circum uitances, it would improve the quality and in crease the quantity of hay from mow lands; it is said by some to destroy worms, and while this is denied by others, the probabili ty is that neither are quite right, that the truth lies somewhere between, that it cannot be relied upon as a destroyer of worms, but that it does nevertheless diminish their rava ges. The effects of salt vary on different plants. We have often experimented with it on mow land. One trial was, to scatter salt along a narrow strip of mowing, only a few feet wide, in the spring, and then to watch for the effect. Another was to scatter it along such a line, very thickly at first then less as we passed on, ending with the least possible quantity. The result was, that where there was the most, the grass was killed out-right ; where the least was sowed, there was no visible effect ; but there was in every case an intermediate point, where the grass was bet ter than where no salt was applied. This was on a light loam, that had not been ma nured highly, about a hundred miles frm the sea-board. Two conclusions were admia sable ;-.one, that on such land as that, situa ted as that was, and treated as that had been, a very small dressing of salt, say five or six bushels to the acre, was 'avorabie to the old meadow grasses, and would probably pay for the cost; the other that these grasses will bear but a small dressing. unless there hap pens at the time a large fall of rain to dis solve the salt and ditifise it through the soil. We found that asparagus would flourish. with three or four times the amount of salt dug into the soii, that would entirely kill the meadow grasses, sown on the turf in dry weather; and we ascertained the truth of what has often been stated, that you may sow on an as itg5bed salt enough to kill Thtsalt brightn thestw of weat and oats, and renders the grain heavier per bushel, In the opinionof many English farmers. Some believe that these effects are heightened by a mixture of quicklime with salt, formed by slaking thi lime with salt water, at the rate of one busliel of salt to three or four of lime. This wakes a very caustic mixture, and shouldrather be comnposted with other ma nure, than applied directly to the crop. It is a valuable addition to swamp muck, te,.d lg to hasten its decomposition and at the same time to supply it with those activ'e salt. of which it has been deprived by lying long under water. A ed of muck, with half a bushel of. this mixture and a bushel of wood ashes, well comiposted together is, in our. opnon, worth qmite as much for ci.ourn uah ton dressDiUgspan mmadow frpga% as a load of barn yard manure. Whenever I m-! can be had at a small price and swamp mcnk abotund<, the farner has an immense resource for enriching his land and enlarging the crops. Salt ba. been said to be specially favorable t) the niangold wortzel, but of this we have no cer;ain knowledge. For asparagus it is all important, and shoull be applied in the spring, when you fork in the manure spread on before the setting in of the previse win ter, at the rate elf at leait bushel to the square rod. Salt in which fi..b orneats have been packed will answer well for this pur pose, only that more should be used, as it is not as strong. 2. Sip/dutte of Soda, or Glauber's salt. This salt has been highly commended in Eng land for clover, the grasses, and the green crops generally. That it would have the sate, or even a better effect than salt in strengthening the straw of the cereA.., we can readily believe, as the alkalire effect of the soda would be to disnsolve the silica in the soil, while the sulpliuric acid could hardly fail on any dry, bweet bplind, to be favorable t-) the growth of crop.. lut we.,-uppose that the price would pre-hde it, use in tis coun try; or, at least, that commnton salt, fir the purpose of strengthenhag and brighterninig the straw, of prevnotinit lottltinlt ad tlhe shrink ing of the kernel, would b a unore ecumoni cal application. 3. Car&wrc f -&kaa.:The common sods of the shups, iseAl for W4bhing; would lasve a similar elfrot to streingtinen the straw of the cereals. It is hardly cheap enough to be used in field culture but is risied to produce a fine effect in strawbeiries in the garden. It should be dis.olved in: much water, and applied as top dressing in fruiting time, or the effect will be to produce more vines than fruit. In the form of' soda ash, it has been ap plied as a destroyer of the vine worm. It may be sown with the sed, -oi ipplied as a top dressing, with gool effect, after the rava ges of the woaru have toinneucead. Nibrate 4' ,da, or aslpetre, a. sounetimes called. Thi< is known to, greatly promote the growth of all you.ea:plansts. giving theirs a dark green color. Expytimjents in Etgland have shown it to be of great value f..r the wheat crop, on sandf iils. It lasi been shown also to lie exce-e liogly favoralile to tie growth of tihe -tigar canie. Might it not prove equally favunale to the corn crop, and per haps to the sorghum ? A.4 imnense quanati ties of it are found inapoints of South America, along the eastern slope of .the Andes, we should not think it strange if, in the progress of commerce with those countries it should be obtained cheaply, and be among our val uable imports. It would at least be worth while to try its effects on corn, on the sor ghum, and on the gra.se<, 'at a top dress ing applied in the early stages of the growth of these plants. It is well knowanto our readers that we are not much in favor of bringing mandro ten thousand or live thousand miles, and having the farmers pay twice as much for it as the importers oiuld alfford to sell i: for, as has lately been shown with relation to guanao. We have thought, and have said freely, bet ter husband the home supplies, and make them -go as far as possible-.all the manure of the barn, everything that can be composted with it advantageously, the swamp muck, al most everything found, the gree.t sand marl, which is tihe cheapest fertilizer now ofleredl for all who cant obtain it without much inland carriage, and so of every fertilizing s.ubstanrce at home or near home., But we are by no mnsln sure but that these immense beds of nsi rate or ,oola fouti in South America maay yet pirve .of gre.at advantage to this counafry ; anid we should 1,e glad if trials of its value for v-arious crotps, especially for corn, sorghum, anrd the gra.sses could be made. The Old Brown Cot. By UDwARD A. DAaSr. Among the scenes to memory dear To which mny fancy oft returns, And for whose long-lost days of joy My spirit in its adness yearns, There's none whaich ems se dear to we As that where passed life's early morn ;. There's none for which I sigh so oft As for the cot-where I was born. The old brown cot, the low brown cot The moss-grown cot beneath the hill; Though years have passed since I was there I love it, oh, I love it still ! It stood beside the running brook Whose waters turned the noisy will, And close beneath the tall so<d oaks That nodded on the sloping hill. The woodlbine ceeping o'er the walls, The sunshine on the grassy plot, low beautiful they were to we When home was in that old brown cot ! Though I may view the fairest lands On which the sun iu glory beam., And dwell in climes more beautiful Than poets visit in their dreasms; Still will affection linger ritund That loved and consecrated spot, And tears will fall as I go back To boyhood and the uhf1 brown cot.

Oat straw is best for filling beds; should be changed once a year. Green should be the prevailing color of hangings and window drappery. Scotch snuff put on the holes where crick ets come out will destroy them. Wood ashes and common salt wet with water, will stop the cracks of a stove, antd prevent the smoke from escapiang. How To STOP DIAnoD.-Take the fine dust of teas, or the scrapings of the inside of sole leather, and bind it closely upon the wound, and the blood will soon cease to flow. These articles are recommtenided because they are at all times accessible, and easy to be ob tained. After the blood has ceased to flow, laudanum may be advantageously applied to the wound. Due regard to these instructions will save agitation of mind and a running for the surgeon, who would probably make a noe bette pr.crintkaf if prsean-Ealem Ga. CoRNs.-Boll a potato in its skin, and after it is boiled take the skin and* put the inside of it to th6 corn, and leave it on for about twelve hours; at the end of that period the corn will he much better. The above useful and rimple receipt has been tried and found to effect a remedy.
