Yarm, 05 rbmN. Ousesi . EXPERIMENTS AWONG FAR N ERS. The idea "experiments" among farmers has a very vague meaning, and has more often been asubject of ridicule with many of our practi- I cal men. It should not be so. Wei see no reason why farmers should not experiment in a reasonable way as well as mechanics, Chem. ists, or those of other useful pro fessions. A great advantage would result to agriculture, if every intelligent farmer would pursue some syste matic course of experiments on such a scale and variety as his circumstances would justify, and give the results, if successful, to the community. It is with expe riments in farming as was said by Franklin of a young man owning wild lands: "It is well enough for every man to have some; if he don't have too many." They should be his servants, not his masters; and if intelligently man aged and kept within due bounds, they may be made greatly subser vient to his own interest, And by their promulgation, eminently pro motive of the general good. It is fully in accordance with another maxim of that wise head, that when it is not within our power to return a favor to our benefac tor, it is our duty to confer one on the first neebssituous person we meet, and thus the circle of good offices will pass around. - The mutual communication of improvements of any kind in agri culture, has the effect of benefitting not only the community generally but even the authors themselves; 4s they frequently elicit aorrec tions and modifications which ma teially enhance the value of the discovery. These experiments should embrace the whple subject of American agriculture; soils and their amelioration; manures of ev ery kind, alkaline, vegetable and putrescent, and their effect on dif fbrent soijs and crops; plants of every variety, and their adapta tion to different soils, under differ ent circumstances and with va rious manure; and their relations to each other, both as successors in rotation, their value for conver sion into arimals and other form, and their compaiative ultimate profit; the production of new va rieties by hybridizing and other wise; draining, both surface and co.yered; the improvement of im plements and mechanical opera tions, etc., etc. They should also extend to the impartial and tho ro,ugh tr-ial of the different br-ceds of all domestic animals, making ul timnate profit to the owner the sole test of their merits, crossing,them -Adrnt wys:an d undrer uh enei'afLries ass- experieflee has determined as proper to be observ ed; their treatment, food, man agemnent, etc. Although much last few years, the science and practiee o,fagriculture may yet be consiegahost in=its~ infancy. TheW isn unboundedlield still ope'fr~ ei4plrtion adresearch in w'hicht(he effor-ts of preserving genius may hereafter discover mines oflimmense varue'to the h u man family.. ([American Farn BDook;. PUDDING AND PIEs NO-r UN HIEALTHY.-There is probably a great deal of truth in the follow ing extract, which we make from Dr. Hall's Journal of Health : T he universal error as to the unhealth fulness of pies, puddings, and pas tries, ~takmng it for granted that they are well made and properly cooked, has arisen from the sim *ple fact that after we have made a full meal of other things, tbe *stoumach is oppressed by them, and if the process is repeated, becomes eventually dyspeptic; that is, had not the power to work up the food, because it had been worked to death already. It would be quite as phrilosophical that if a man has become very tired by plowing all day, and afterward, by chop ping wood, has 'worked' himself *, out,' it was very unhealthy, to* chop." To HARDEN TALLow.--Take the * common prickly-pear and bod or fry it in the tallow, without wa ter, for half an hour, then strain and mould. I use about six aver age sized leaves to the pint of tal * low, splitting them up fine. They make the tallow as hard as stear ine, and do not injure its burning qualities in the least. To this the Mobile Register adds: There is nio mistake in this, and it gives the *prickly-pear a value little dream ed of' before the discovery was rmade. It is the common piikly * pear (Cactus vulgaris), found in abundance on our poor-est sandy * lands, andi the way of proportion ing by weigzht is one pound of the Ieaves to four of tallow. A large proportion of leaves makes the tallow too brittle. PASTE FOR Sena .Boo.-You have had inquiry for a good pastel that will keep, and in reply I will sary that after an experience of ov er thirty years daily, I may say liourn use, I have found none so good ~as flour paste made with alum water; say a piece of alu m as large as a small .valnut to a! pint of paste, -with a few dr-ops oil ~ f cloves added to the paste when N ade.
