In those parts oftireat Hritain where agricul ture has attained the greatest height of improve ment, it is universally allowed, that nothing has contributed more to that desirablo object, than the introduction of the " drill" method of litis-1 bandry, particularly in green crops, which are; generally manured, such a? potatoes, turnips, rape, beans, beet or mangle wurscl, to which inay be added, maize ; tins advantages derived from //lis, in preference to the previous broad cast methods, are many and obvious to every at tentive observer. The three following comprise the principal, though not thcoN/7 superior wiic ft s arising from it, viz : a reduction of at least one half the expense ill cultivation or labor : the lund kept completely clean ami in fine tilth, and more weightv and perfect produce. The follow ing description of cultivating potatoes in some ot the most improved corn tillage counties in (treat Jiritain, may serve partly to elucidate the above, and first it may not be amiss to observe 'hat potatoes have long been acknowledged to be one of the most beneficial crops grown bv the modern farmer ; their value, when considered is food for either mun or beast, not being dimi nished by a comparison with any other crop, and when asserted to be a real improver of the toil, they must stand high in the estimation of c very good farmer. The land intended for this crop (generally grain stubble) is ploughed once or twice (ac cording to the state of it) in the beginning of the winter, to expose it to the frosts; then cross-1 in Mprrlt. ami tluu.'lylU "?? formed froii) thirty to thirty-six inchcs asunder; the manure is carted out, and spread in the bot toms of the drills, at the rate of fortv single horse cart loads to an English acre. The seed (good middle sized sound potatoes, cut three weeks before planting into sets, leave one eye to each) intended for the general crop, is put in the, ground about the end of April or beginning of! May ; this is done by six or eight young girls, or children, whosprcud the sets ten inches a tiuuder, on the bottoms of the drills, where the manure, is already under them ; the ploughman then follows, reversing the drills, which covers the potatoes and manure 4 to 5 inchcs deep.? One plough and five or six little girts will pluut three acres in a day with ease. Three or four weeks after this, the field is once harrowed a ross the direction of the drill*, in order to freshen the surface and smother such weed* as have already made their appearance. After the plants are two or three inches high, so as the drills can bo easily distinguished, a man, with a single horse hoe-plough {all the previous work ts done with the common single mould board plough and two horses) goes steadily between the drills, which cuts up by the roots every weed, and throw s a little mould up to the tender plants. This ploughing bet ween the drills or furrows (beside* converting the weeds into manure) cau ses the soil to attract more moisture ami uoiirUh mcnt from the atmosphere than it otherwise vould do, if left ill a stiff untitled state ; the good effects of thin will soon he perceived in the rapid increase and expansion ot the plants. In about two months after planting, they will re quire earthing or landing tin; this is done by- the >amc single horse plougli (only taking on the hoes, and substituting two uiouhMmards ill their stead, which does not reouire ten minutes of time) the ploughman carefully throwing up the mould to the plants onench side of him, without covering any of them ;?this has a similar effect #0 the former, occasioning the stalks to increase much in strength and vigor, while tho roots arc also swelling apace, thf* landing up, is repeated ihrce or four times, or until the stalks meet to fher from one drill to another, and tho hoeing us often as may apneur necessary to destroy the weeds, which besides being advantageous to the potatoes, is highly beneficial to the succeeding < rops of corn. W lien they aro ripo (or the stalks Miorotighly decayed,) the same double mould board plough, with two horses or bullocks, en ters the centre of the drill fengthways,aml splits it open (similar to tho action of 0|>cning a book) which lays most of the potatoes on the Nurlact?.-? rim plough Is followed by two or three men with pronged forks, and children with baskets, in or* der to get the crop clean out 01 the ground 1 the field is then harrowed once or twice with an iron pinned harrow, eight feet wide by four feet deep, drawn by two horses. ify the alxive method, tho harvest crops arc raised in Orcut Hritain and Ireland at compara tively small expend* a* therein very little man* ual labor required. After (lie manure is i arted out and tho seed covered, a man or bdy, "with a single horse, will manage 21) English acres with* out any manner of assistance. Tuhnu's, another valuable crop for feeding are cultivated with equal facility in drills j in deed this crop establishes inost strongly the su periority of tne drill over the broad cast method. Alter the drills are formed (as for potatoes) and the manure spread, they are reversed, which covers the manure, then a light wooden roller is drawn by one horse over tho drills lengthways, in order to flatten their tops ; to this roller is fastened a small machine, (guided by a man) culled a hand barrow j the coulter of tfiis (inside of which is a funnel or tul>o to let down the heed) forms a small channel or run on the ton of the drill, the need lulling into this, is coverc by tho roller going a second timo over the field.? Ah soon as tho ntants are three inches high, they thinned out by the hand, leaving one of the best every ten or twelve inches, according to tho spe cies of turnips. No other labor is required, save hoeing them two or threo times with the single horso plough, and throwing up or taking tlio earth from them occasionally. I have practiced the abovo methods with the'fullest success, not only in Great llritnin and Ireland, but also in Portugal, on that extensive tract of level land, 10 leagues N. K. of Lisbon, where the soil and climate is similar to tliut in this vicinity. The adoption of the abovo mentioned, or * similar system of funning, instead of the methods gene rally pursued in This part of the state, would make a most material difl'ercuce in the farmer's income, as well as in the supply t*r the public markets with the ?ofafo?*,mdk,buuor and meat. And surely, us along, as those markets retain any thing near their present prices, the cultiva tor of the soil need not want a strong stimulus to exertion und improved culture, a kaumkii.

Mow sweeet elder, an it is culled, or the com mon Killer, and place the suine nil uliout the branches of the trees infested with them, and tlioy will immediately leave the trees. In tlio year 1771, according to my minute* now before me, these devouring worms appear cd fur the first time, as it waa then suid, in Had* Icy, Massachusetts, ami in Tested, more especi ally, tho Apple trees, that bore sweet apples. An orchard of my father's, consisting altogether of sweet apple trees, about two acres, well set with trees that bore sufficient applies for two barrels of cider each, appeared to be attacked by them ) and as the leaves of the trees had the upncarance of being burnt, similar to-what my father had seen near Boston, lie was satisfied they were the canker worm, and expected Ins orchard would bo entirely destroyed, a?he then observed. 1 immediately recollected that between the years 1703, I had read an Account in one of the Loudon Magazines, which I then constantly took, of a certain part of Europe being infested with au insect that destroyed, in their progress, every green thins, excepting only Elder ; and the year after, Elder was made use of on their Ileitis of grain, which were saved thereby ; and OmaK Anlilu mmiI *?>(, ?f flvltlo uf grain that were not bushed with Elder ware destroyed as be ? fore. I informed my father of it, and that I had i*. doubt of its efficacy ; and as lie had Elder plen ty near, requested him to make the experiment, lie set his boys and men at mowing Klder and [fathering it until they had filled the branches of die applo !* - t,-, ' - ' -l - ? the applo tree*with it, which had the desired ef fect to our astonishment and joy! Previous to its being put on, we struck re peatedly ov the limbs, and they would spin down on their webs, like a mist or shower of rain, and then run up. This was done to a large mini her of those tree* with the same ellect, as the qr? | chard appeared universally infected with them ; and the next morning alter the Elder was put on there was no appearance oT them by striking on (he limbs, and they never appeared after. The leaves of the trees recovered their verdure, and the trees bore us plentifully as in uny oilier year beTore. From the success of that experiment I have been led rvftr since to water tin: plants in my garden with a strong solution of Eldor, when thev were infested with devouring Dugs, &x. and it has always proved effectual. My method has been mi washing days to order a large tub that holds six or eight pails lull, filled with El der stalks and leaves cut at the bottom j and af ter the clothes aro taken out of the boiling to pour tho water on the elder, and fill the tub with water ; and when cold, water the plants. I have sometimes discoloured (he plants by put ting it on too strong i but tlicy liuvo soon reco vered, and no bug* fly or insect has ever injured them, after even nut once watering with thut in fusion, when thoy have been destroyed at a great rate liefore. And I have no doubt of its proving destructive to all kinds of flies, bugs, and de vouring insects whatsoever.?A*. //. Ceiilinel. Cement tn protect roof* from the. weather.? M. l'ierrc-Aimo Lair, secretary of the Society of Agriculture and Commerce of Caen, in Nor inauily, (France) has given extensive publicity to the following receipt for a terra#se mastic to cover roofs, Kc. which had liecn published in the Elementary ('hymistry of Mr. Thenard, and actual experiment has demonstrated that it pos sesses all the advantages to be wished for. It it employed with the greatest succcss in cover ing terraces, coating cisterns for water, laying ofinasonry so as to be impervious to water, c. It is so Itard that it will scratch iron. This ter raw mantic is formed of ninety-three parts of brick or clay well burnt, and seven parts of li tharrfgo and linseed oil?nothing so simple as its preparation or its use. The brick and litharagc are to bo finely powdered and mixed together, adding to them is .iiucli linseed oil as will bring them to the consistence of mortar (gache.) It is then used like tnortar, the part to be covered being previously wetted with a sponge. This precaution is indispensable, or the oil would be unbilled by it, and the cement not acquire the accessary hatdncM. When laid upon a largo! surface, it will sometimes crack, and tho cracks arc to be filled with more of tho composition.?! Itronnfresll^ RELIGIOUS. TO Tim EDITOR or TtIR TRLKWori:. Sir?I scud you an exposition of tho nature of tlio Holy Trinity, which, if you think it will aid the cuuno of Christianity, you will please publish in your useful paper. A. 1). TUB HOLY TRINITY. The scriptures declare, that tho Lord Jesus Christ, who is called the Son of Man, is the true Oml i and though he is called by several titles, as, Father, Son, and Spirit, yet is God but one personal glory in the form of Man. As the soul, Iradv and spirit of man ure united and knit to gether, malting ono essence, or individual sub* stance, distinct in itself; so aro Father, Son, and Spirit, as truly joined together j and this the scripture and all true proline ts do positively affirm. For may it not as well be mini, that man doth consist of three persons, because Paul [>raycd the sou/, body and spirit might be. kepi >lamclc*s ? How can God. who is iti one him self, be divided into three Persons ? If the Creator was one eternal Iteing, distinct from all other beings, is it not necessary that lie should so continue in his own divine centre r Infinity hath power to change its glory into flesh, but not to create other ltcities out of him* self; because that would bo aguinst his glory. And the most wise creator can make nothing against his glorv, but for his glory only. For if he should make out a/Mumse'lf other two Gods, as Son and Holy Ghost, and they being both dis* tioct from him, they would on necessity require sovereignty; for God can bo no Got! withoutj sovereignty. Where would his rumor.ativk be r 'lucre can be but one prerogative, for if there be tkhkk, the kingdom is divided, and cannot stand, Mark iii. '24. Hut this kingdom of one God w ill stand ; be cause there is but onk soi.k Kino, and lie hptli said, he will not give his glory to .another i yet all glory was given unto Christ, because he was the sole God: men and angels, principalities and powers, yea, all things in heaven and earth did, and forever shall bow, to him, and to no other. If by the titles Father, flan, and Holy Ghost, wcro not meant one individual, substan tial, personal God ; but that instead thereof we were to understand a Son and Holy Ghont dis* tinct frnm the Father; then what kind of God would the Father lie ? For if he hath invested the Son with all power in heavcrt above, and in the earth beneath, and hath made the Holy Ghost co-operator with the Sou. in order to the sanctiflcatiou and government of the church, the Son being made head of it, and of all things else; I say, what kind of God do you make of the Father ? J)o you make any (soil of him at all ? Do )'JU make him usele**, soring he hath nothing to do, nothing to govern Surely you think that one of your Gods grew weary" with governing, as I'lmraoh, king ol Kgvpt. did, who made Joseph sole governor of bis k ingdom, and In* himself did notliing : or else you think that he is old and wilting to be at rent, and there lore, having made a Son out of himself, and an Holy Ghost, that he hath begot out of his Son and himsell, doth therefore dispose of tin* gov ernment to them wholly and absolutely. If there be a Son ami Holy Ghost distinct from a Father, they can be no more than crea tures, because they receive their being ami per fection from the Creator, and not from them selves. How ran there be any nihility, or es sential oM.Nts.s, betwixt a spirit without a body and a spirit with a body ? Can the Son, that is a corporeal person, and hath a body, be said to be in the Father, if the Father bath no body, vliapc, or form ? If the lloly Ghost is a person proceeding from the Father and tho Son, how can lie be co-c?pial and co-eternal with the Fa ther and the Son ? Can that vliich receives its being from another be c<|ual with that which hath its being of itself ? Can time be enual to eterni ty ? If tl te Holy Ghost proceeded from a Fathei and a Son, then he i.i but a God of time, ami not a God of eternity ; and such a God may end in time. Again, if the Hon wrts from eternity, how could lie bo begotten f Ami if the Hot if Ghost wan from rtrniity^ how could he proceed, ami take his ?n initial from Father ami Hon, if the tl?w? IYi mhis were each of them eternal, that is, without all beginning j then they could not give being one to another. If the Hon was be gotten by the Father from all eternity, ami lie got ten ac> a in when he was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, in a hotly of flesh, then it seems ihe whh a uoi. hi.k Son, uml tw ick begotten, or riwicr. made by the Father, ami yet thin Hon |mu*t be said to be kqu a i, with the Father, tho* it is nevertheless confessed he wan niatle low km than the angel*. From hence it is, that those who hold thin doctrine, worship a nivior.n (iotl, or tiiukk distinct (lods : mid therefore do they make tltcir prayerH.in distinct forms, and pray to one of their (lotls after one manner and another after another manner > making in reuli tv three (lotls, as distinct frtnn one another an tfirce men, John, James and I'eter s but this di ided (Iotl, or (Iotl with three heads, is a mon strous God, no where to lie found but in their own idle dreams, and is not the true (iotl; for there is no such double begetting nor proceed-, ing, as (hey imagine, lor though (iod in ill a sense said to be one in t/irrf, ami three In one, vet i.s he not in three persons, he is only onk 1.Jod with three title* t we worship n (iod in onk iter son with tiiiikk titi.ks, Father, Son and Spirit ( but it i< a sKi.r-UKiio'iikn Hod, and not a (iotl begotten by another. Oh, the darkness that lies u|miii some of the learned! Did they heed the scriptures, they would nee that the Hon was but onck begotten or made i and that was God's begetting himself into a Hon, according as it is written, Hod itk camk Jlesh t it is not suid, thut (iotl sknt a Hon to become flesh, that was begot by him before. Hut the meaning of-tliost worth is no other than tlint (iotl sent lortli iiimsm.k to bo made of a woman, to redeem us from the t uric of the law, according as it ia written, Ilay down my li mysp.lp.
