We clip the following from an article OI, copied into the papcis from an unknown we source, farmers will do well to heed the advice: Waiving remarks on the Inwa of nature V requiring a deep and finely pulverhed ^ soil for another article, wo will, in this un, consider manures as furnishing food for 0f plants. From repeated experiments it is int ascertained, that the state of animals con- rot . tains ft great amount of nutriment, or food ?f v. for plants; and that similar etfecta are ra|1 produced by applying the droppings of M'M fowls, (gunn?,) animal manure, (tlio blood and offal ofslaughter yards Ac. <kc.) Much H|j( of the value of these is liablo to be los*. by Bpj putrifaction and evaporation. By chemistry we ascertain what this is, and how to retain it. It is well known that iu clean- an( ing horse stables, especially under the floor, *t" there is a very pungeant smell. The same is true in opening a heap of stable manure n,j3 that has been thrown up and is heated, bc? The smell is produced by tho escape of be ammonia, which is the oesenco and value the of the manure. Tlio loss is greater irom privies, because their contents are still un richer and more highly charged with fur- on liliziug gases. How to retain these and ( to fix them in a sta.e in whiih they will mr| remain until used by the growing plants, j? , 'is a question of high importance, which a pitacientific knowledge of those elements alone be can answer. An English writer says: t0(J "Before you begin to clean out your stable diaeo've some common salt in water, if for a horse stable, sav four notm.ia ??* ??<? ?!r ?- thu aolved in two bucket* of water, and pour- ^ ?d through the nooee of a water pot over pou the stable floor an hour or so before you begin to remove the mannre, mid the volatile salts of ainnionia will become flxed, i f-oro the r having united with the muriatic o' I acid of the common salt; ami the soda his thus liheratsd from the salt, will quickly ex| absorb carbonic acid, forming carbonate of the soda." fori Cotton?Had* Of Cultivation. ,wj The position ia Uken, that the cotton |,m plant is not easily suited in soil and climate And then that " the beet Cbtton lands are of ?m a deep, rich, soft mould?a medium between ?)V the apoqgy and sandy."

I would d?sire to direct the attention the reader of the Scientific American to a danger of using pails which are paintiuaide, for containing water for domes: purposes.

Arsa Cora Mowatt. We hnve read this book though * ith more than the interest of a romance. The fair authoress herself is one of the rarest of heroines. Her eight years upon the stage furnish a volume of the inost entertaining nnd instructive experience. But this is not all?not the most interesting portion of her remarkable book. She begins with her infancy, nnd introduces us to the bright little butterfly girl sporting among the Hewers of l.n Custagnc.in France, where she happened to be born. She gives us a brief sketch of her family, descendants, on the maternal side,of Francis l<c?is,onpof the heroic singers of the Declaration of Independence. We the follow her in n stormy voyage across the Atlantic, in which she was shipwrecked, when two little brothers were washed overboard ; one was rescued; but "the other was lost." She. then naively sketches the history of her sell lol-day joys and sorrows, ending with nn elopement and a precocious marriage. All the details. both tragic and comic, are given with the most amusing, often affecting particularity, and the sympathetic render is unvolnntarily led to make her joys and sorrows his own.? 1 .ike every true chapter of cliecquered hu. man life, the lights and shadows arc nearly equally, often fitfully blended, and we are alternately moved to tears sad laughter.?
