A New Invention has been made (o produce us much Manure a? we may please in 15 days without any Cattle, a manure, as rich as Farm Manure, and jppfc hurting, and at very little cost; hy which also is made Earth Manure, to he used ns a substitute for common Manure ^ ?j)d ComprXt; by which Farmers are faught the means of increasing consider. | ably Stable and Yard Manure, an<I the method of preparing manure of different degrees of strength, am] dressing for ear- ! ly garde;? produce, This method, caching 'die whole art of making and preparing Manure for use, holds decidedly the most important plape in ike sy?letf) of Agricultural Reooomy! This Invention is the fruit of many i years of exertion and Chemical luhor, ; and the result of repeated and various i Experiments, 'Hie secret of the Invention to make the ! Manure is accurately described and spcRified in ijjv .\Jethod serijr/;d by 1'atcijl, The prcjtaration of said Manure is very simple and easy, and every Farmer by j following mv method can exactly count j upon certain success. This Manure is a composition of nniirwl, mineral, and vegetable substances, consequently designed by nature for their nutriment. \Ve may therefore abandon for the fu- ' lure the partial use and application of every kiiiu of merely stimulating manure, i such as lime, plaster of Paris, ashos, <Ve., I the more feajily. as these stimulants are j not only expensive, but when employed > alone they draw ah vegetable moisture ] from the soil by their corrosive heat, and j sooner or later make the ground entirely I barren. Thisisa truth which all ppligh- : tened Farmers >vill readily admit? The merit of my method essentially j consists in the four following important j points: 1. In being able to reduce in a short time all kinds of straw and ligneous weeds to a rich, uutijous and durable manure, such as wheat straw, bailey, rye, buck* A w heat, and other black grains; stalks of Indian corn, rice, and other plants; dried J or green potato tops, leaves, stalks, and roots of itii kind of plants; green or dried j reeds, green rushes, sea weeds, sea rushes, j heather broom, stuhhlc, in fact every thing belonging to the vegetable kingdom, and a great many otb<*r things lying about farms which are often allowed to go to waste. Kven the ground itself may he converted into the bet>t manure, or com* post. 2. In the combination or alliance of fecundating substances, the use of which when separated, would not and could not produce the desired efleet. JJ. In the production of a considerable quantity of factitious water, which, when combined with other ingredients, forming. lees, furnishes the fanner with a fertiliz- J J *?- - . Ittg liquid, Hie CUIIIIIH.\lu:c UI mnvu cither vegetable or mineral subs ances, gives a manure of the richest kind. 4. In the production of a quantity of nitrate of lime and caustic potash; of ammonia and saltpetre?four substances which modern chemistry has found to contain the most fecundating properties possible. N. B. Nitrate of lime and caustic potash arc formed by the mixture of ingredients composing the Lees, as chemical analysis will easily einonslrate. Ammonia and saltpetre are produced by the Lees combined with Hydrogen and Azote thrown oft* by the high fermentation of the mass. The existence of the first is made known to the senses by the strong smell of ammonia, when the heap is opened. From all this it is clear that rnymeth- J cd employed on Farms offers the following , advantages: 1. That those who have a'.raw will be ^ able to change the same int > manure immediately after tiie crop is housed, or , at any required time, Thoss who have j not straw may use an\ green or dry sub- j stance instead, and that those who have , neither strawn or the substances above j mentioned, may change the very soil it- j self into a very good earth Manure, and in any spot they may choose. '2. That a farmer can make with the : greatest ease, in a few davs, earth man- | ?ire, or compost which will answer all ihe i purposes of animal manure, and excel in their fecundating properties all other ordinary comports, which by oilier means can ( j l)? had hardly in 1 year, more frequently j only in 3 years. That this earth manure may he used in the spring to quicken (lie growth of seed that ha? suffered from the rigors of the winter% to manure wheal previously sown without manure; it will he a great benefit in planting Indian corn; for top-dressing of artificial and other meadows, it is the greatest use in gardens, mulberry and other fruit trees, keeping at once the ground moist, and producing 1 rapid vegetation. I 3. That the farmer will have the advantage of being able to make his manure S O heaps, when where, and as he pleases; he will he able to open them when they are in best without losing any of the feeun(latin" moisture. O 4. Bv means of the Lees, which this mctiioJ will inform him how to make, it will 4?e easy for hhn to give to his farm yard manure more invigoiating properties, and he may increase its bull; at pleasure. Farm yard manure, in fact, should be used only as the leaven to make the different heaps required. o. By the great quantity of moisture entering into tlie materials, the weight of such of them as are dry, will he increased fourfold; that of the others is more than doubted. G. This method enables the farmer to connect entirely his manure heaps, that is to say, he will he able to make them in all their parts equally good and fertilizing. The Lees, u hich distribute the saline and soluble particles in a regular and uniform manner, will produce an even crop throughout (lie field. 7. By the high degree of heat to which in that course of making it attains, the germinating power of all weeds found the materials thus submitted to decomposition will be utterly destroyed. Hence manure made after this method never reproduces weeds. - -Mi i i , _, _ j H. i lie larmcr wiuaiso nc ami: iu <;niuualc his manure. He may have it ofany decree of strength he wishes. This will enable him to forward the growth of plants in a mariner hitherto unknown. 9. Ily means of manure thus graduated at will, market gardeners will have their produce much earlier in the market than heretofore. They will he able also to heat their hot beds anew by means of the Leos without distributing the frames. ? 10. In fine, the Lees by which the manure is made are prepared cold, and without any previous chemical preparation; the majority of the ingredients may be found at hand on almost every farm, and cost nothing; and water which is the basis of the system, is of no more expense. All here concur to render the method truly economical. Such arc the principal grounds on which the svstcm is rccommended. My method rests solely upon facts which are the results of numerous experiments. I have explained it in simple terms, without m iking use of any technical expression; it it as easy to understand as to put in practice. Thus clearly and iirnnlv detailed 1 present it to the public, having proved by repeated public experiments in presence of enlightened fariprs, that all I have said is true, and that the advantages to he derived from its adoption are real, and not visionary. Therefore, Agents, having all due authorization, and furnished with printed copies of the method, have boon appointed in all the principal towns in each state. These Agents will deliver a copy to each purchaser, on his declaring the name, residence, and extent of cleared land. To facilitate the purchase of iho .Method, the price is fixed at the following moderate rates: Cleared land, intended for agricultural * O purposes, (wood land excepted,) under 30 acres 83; more than 30, 10 cents per acre additional. Oa payment of this sum the Method becomes the property of the purchaser for ever. To conclude?as this Method is improperly secured to ine by Patent. 1 hereby give notice, that the pamphlets of iny " Method" are nil signed in my own writing, and sealed, and can be obtained ' * ' ...tknriia/l I only 01 my sen or my a^oius nmnui . for this purpose, and that every Method circulated or sold by any other persons, I declare false counterfeit, and the possessor will be proceeded with according to law. Farmers! Consider well the great advantages which this system offers you. Fear not the expense of a few dollars for the purchase of that which is to secure i to you the means of uninterrupted and certain prosperity. Remember that it is by the quantity of good manure you will be able to effect this, and at the same time to bring into profitable cultivation lands from which at present you gain absolutely nothing. Uy this method in fine, you will have a manure possessing all the t;biinonfs of fecunditv. and bv the timely and well repeated application o( the same, you will soon produce a total change in the A grieulturul world. The following commendatory notice of this valuable discovery is from Prof. l'dli Ives, M. I)., one of the Vice Presidents ..r tt.i c?i mu L uuuu Oituea -?o? ituuui a? uuwixtv: j Rev. V..

Ho said I that, for fifty years, he had observed that whenever the chaff of wheat and other small grain and the corn shucks were un commonly abundant, thick and heavy, the following winter was invariably a severe one. 1 thought that though a cause for this might be found in the luxuriant vegetation of last summer, there might yet be some truth in it?that nature, aware of the coming severity of the winter, might thus furnish the grain with an C* O extra covering. At all events, the old gentleman's remarks set mc to j making [additional observations. In confirmation of his opinion, I found that the snow bird, (fringilla IInelson ia, of Wilson.) arrived uncommonly j early this fall, and in great numbersThe redheaded woodpecker, whicli rare, ly leaves us altogether, except in the very depth of winter, has entirely disap. j pcared. The blue bird is only to be seen j in flocks, as if preparing to go farther] south, while their sweet warble, in an or- i dmary winter may be heard every fine j day. The gold-finch or thisllcbird, gen- i crally so abundant with us at all seasons,' is o:; 1 y to be seen in small flocks, in and about the city, [ have observed the nut hatch, sitt.1 carobinensis, (this little insect-hunter and the downy woodpecker, arc commonly, but most absurdly, called sapmckers,) busily engaged hammering pieces of acorns, and beech nuts into ere vices ii> the bark of trees, and alter mak- 1 trig them fast, carefully covering them l over with moss, as if to secure a supply of provisions during the severity of the; e an ng season. Even the crows which ! generally winter with us in great numbers seem, with an occasional exception, to have forsaken us. I am told that numer* ous flecks of quails have alighted in the city and still continuo to do so?this has always been marked as a sign of the ap- j proach of severe weather. The mocking i or Carolina wren, (certain Carolinians ofWil,) is always abundant with us. His lively, quaint and varied notes are to he heard, ringing through the woods, both summer and winter. I observed a large flock of small birds, finches, risa out of a garden vestcrdav, which were strangers C3 J m ' O to me. They sat so close and silent, until thev at once rose and flew oft', with a clear note like that of the gold-finch, that I could not determine what they worn, and I am averse to killing the little beauties, unless when reallv needed. T. A. j From tli3 FarniJi's Monthly Visitor. IS SALT USEFUL AS A 3IAXURS? . It would see in that the ancients made use of salt as a manure. The Savior in his discourse, says :?" Salt is good ; but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it he salted ? It is neither jit for the dunghill; but men cast it out." Col. Johnson of East Haverhill, Mass. (influenced probably by this passage) saved once a field that he was about to plant with corn, by sowing a quantity of coarse fine salt, in quantity about equal to what we usually sow of grain. The land was a light white pine plain originally. The corn was very good that year, and the field, when laid down, produecd very stout clover. The salt probably acted as a stimulant to the soil.? Whether the land would not run down afterwards, like men who stimulate with the ardent, remain* to he seen. I have not noticed Co'. J's. field very lately, and so cannot dceido upon the experiment.? I3ut all manures are more or less stimulating. The same argument probably might l?e brought against lime and plaster, that would he used against salt. Chaptal, in speaking of the action of ?

We think n few remarks, under this heading, in each number of the " Farmer," will not be uninteresting. It is a favorite study with us, and one 0:1 which we might be apt to dwell at too great length, did we not bear in mind the intention of our work. We shall try to follow up these intentions by only speaking of birds, as friends or enemies of the farmer an? gardener?of their migrations, as a test I of the climate of different sections of country?and of such insects and plants as are familiar to all. Ojt object is to induce a habit of observation in our readers, each of whom may be the means of recording matters that may be of impor tance. Even those confined by their occupations to large cities, have opportunities for studying the great book of nature, which ought not to be neglected. o n An old farmer, remarked jjto me, some weeks ago. that the approaching winter | UIWUl Vlll * (1 IV I |V0^ Ull III U IWUJ VI uuv bed together, w here, perhaps, the common mustard, a species of the same family of some of the seedlings, grew up and over! shadowed the whole. At the proper ! time, some rainy day, wc were authorised logo and select our cabbage plants, with the following directions, for transplanting: " now be sure boys and get the blue short legged ones, because the white long legged ones are mostly scullions, and wont have any heads." We would find now and then a * short legged one," and of course it had to creep into the basket. At another time w? had somo grand head lettuce, then a new and valuable variety, but it soon "all ran out the seed matured by the side of other varieties. If the reader of this article has any choice cabbage, squash, or any other vegetable, that he wishes to retain all its virgin purity, he must not carelessly put them in hod with oilier speciesol the tamdy-?lor if lie should, ho might thereby bring into birth a ercolc or other uncalled for illeg. ilimate. # Many species of (he common productions afour counlry may he improved as well as degenerated. The specific change in vegetables, as well as animals, can be produced only by a slow and gradual process; a valuable property which at first is merely accidental, may from one generation to another by a repetition of impressions, become at Inst confirmed and hereditary. The new and choice varieties may be retained if not careless, ly allowed to grow among or along s.de of other inferior species, being exposed impregnation by the male parent of its inferior, while in blossom.

In 1841 the increased production of silk by Iicr citizens was sucn mat me noun ties amounted to 84,418 53. In Delaware county one person cleared upwards of three hundred dollars by a single crop of worms. Miss Rapj), of Economy, raised nearly four hundred pounds, and* drew seventeen hundred dollars from the State Treasury for bounty?a sum which must have more than paid all her expenses. In Tennessee the business is making n rapid strides. At the last session of the Legislature of that State a bounty law was passed, allowing a dollar and a half per pound on silk raised and reeled in the Stato by the fame person. Great crops were produced last season. The Itev. | Frederick A. Ross, of Hawkins county, made last season three hundred pounds of reeled silk, which sold promptly for five dollars per pound. A number of persons have commenced the business this season, j and a great product is expected.?Nat. i Intel!. Fro n tlio Farmers' ltogistcr. APPLICATION OF >f AN'URKS, AND THEIR EFFECTS. SIIF, El'. ; To tlio EJitor of the Farmers' Register. Orange, December 17//i, 163f). My few contributions to the Register, have been upon the subject of manures, i and my plan of endeavoring to fertilize therewith a much worn farm. Tire "Too much" salt, according to Chnptal, is injurious to the ?oil. It was upon this principle that tiic ancients, when j they wished to render desolate a city or country which they had conquered, sowed i it over with an abundance of salt. Thus when Ahimelech took Shechem, which had rebelled against him, " he heat down O the city, and sowed it with salt." Volnev, in describing: the Dead Sea and its borders, says, "the true cause of the absence of vegetables and animals, is the acrid saltness of its waters, which is infinitely greater than that of the sea. The land surrounding the lake being ? ? equally impregnated with the saltness, refuses to produce plants ; the air itself, . which is hy evaporation loaded with it, ! and which moreover receives vapors of sulphur and bitumen, cannot suit vegetation ; hence the dead appearance which reigns around the lake." I submit these few remarks to the consideration of your correspondents. JETIIItO. The following article we copy from the j Connecticut farmers uazette.

From the Now Genesee Farmer. DEGENERATION OF VEGETABLES. With us, it is not an uncommon saving " my seed has run out;" when if proper care had attended the cultivation of the various plants, instead of "running out,'' they would, in most instances, not only retain their good qualities, but advance their fecundation and become beneficially improved. I well remember when I was directed ' to set out for seed, cabbage, turnips, beets, ! radishes, onions, &c.; of the same and I rldT/irniil irn rirtt too il !

Thcreforo permit mc to give you iny proceed.ngs in this important branch of the farmer's avocation during the present year. In January last, all the manure that | was of the proper description was applied I as a lop-dressing to the wheat. About | the middle of March, the farin-pen manure, which was composed of straw, cornstalks, weeds, leaves, and the droppings of the cattle, not heing sufficiently decomposed to admit of turning in with the plough properly, was heaped ; giving lime to the heap as the work progressed, which soon reduced it to the proper consistency, and adding greatly to the value of the manure ; this was given to the corn land. The ashes collected, wifh plaster in the proportion of two parts ashes and one of plaster, was applied to our old meadows, at about four bushels to the acre; the meadow previously scarified by a heavy harrow, the teeth of which was made sharp and curved at the points; this produced a heavy crop. At present the ground being sufficiently firm, from the few days of freezing weather, all the manure collected since the spring is now heing applied to the wheat, except a suf ficiency of the most thoroughly rotted, for the garden. This being preferred, as the germs of the seeds of weeds, dec., are destroyed by the heat necessary to reduce vegetable matter to muck. The result of my applications of leaves from the woods turned in, is very satisfactory.? And the grand result of my hobby is, " the gathering of two ears of corn, from land, which before I mounted my hobby, only produced one." Though this branch of husbandry receives much attention, there are others affording me great pleasure and equal profit, viz : in 1834 I purchased 30 sheep at 10s. Gd.?is 832 50. By referring to my sheep account, I find sales of wool at 40 cents per pound, independent of mutton and lambs consumed, nett proceeds to credit of sheep 8262 70. Number of sheep counted to-day 40. The sheep when purchased were of no particular breed, and very indifferent; instead of selling my lambs at 82 to the butcher, I select the best for breeders, thereby ulways having a young flock, and disposing of the old when mutton at 8l? besides "(vinitli. liaorlll fl.iflCfl ll'Kirll 14 IlPiirlV ?riiuin? nig jtoiiy UWV.VI ~"J equal lo tho price of the Iambi.
