ashes, and the droppings of the poultry

house, and under cover, mix and thoroughly incorporate, ready for use. About tho 25th of April or 1st of May, drag the ground all to pieces aud then dray it 'over again, May 7th to 10th. dratf again aud mark the rows four feet apart each way. May 10th to 1-lth. plant seven or nine grains in a hill. With two boys or girls to drop the seed at the intersection of the rows, one man can plant tliree to four acres per day. Cover our inch deep.

Immediately after planting, before the corn sprouts, out with your compost of ashes and home made guano, and drop from two to four spoonfuls on each hill. As soon as you can follow the rows nicely go in and cultivate both ways. All the scare crow you want in the field is—yourself. Thin out to five plants in a hill. When the corn is four to five inches hisrh cultivate, and weed and hoe faithfully with hand hoe. Then cultivate as often as once in ten days until too large to drive a liorBe among.

Xccer hill your corn up. Its roots need all the heat of the sun to perfect its growth. As soon as it is in tassel, go through it Willi the com knife, and cut all weeds close to the ground, so us to let in the air and sunshine to mature the crop. Sept. 10th to 20th, cut up, and put about twenty hills in a stock. Out. •1st to 15th, husk and crib.

I have in this way raised 1,750 bushels or sound ears on 11-J- acres, and heavier crops per acre on smaller pieces.

Old Sows for Breeding. Some very successful hog-raisers use only young sows to breed from, thinking this course better than to keep them through the winter. A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser gives the following reason for thinking the contrary course the better way.—"In rearing swine aud making pork there is a universal ..mistake among American farmers in breeding from young sows, before their physical system is developed. Until this time arrives, most of the food goes to the support of the animal's growth, therefore she cannot be as good a milker, or impart the jsame. vigor of constitution to h£r-9ffeprrpg.,^Wo kiiow by accurate experiment that an old sow's pigs are worth twenty-five per ceut. more than a young sow's'.t'They^haver, more vigor of c'onsti-

How Much Gas Is required to urt a All The question iB often asked how laT alloou be in order to lift a ml 11k it a very abstruse ciuestil nd not to be answered or reasoned abl except by those who are well cramnl with mathematics and chemistry. the fact is we shall show, that in real it is not beyond tho comprehension of dinary school boys such questions oul to be put in the arithmetics.

We say a balloon goes up because i| lighter than the air. If it be a poll lighter, it lifts a pound, if it be a h| died and fifty pounds lighter it. may ry up a man. Hut what does the li^ liess depend upon? What is it pro]^ turned to? How shall we measure it'

A balloon is a bag tilled with a lighter than the air. The lightest known is hydrogen. Oue hundred cu| inches of it weitili only ^11 grams. the same bulk of air weighs ill era I The ascending force of 100 cubic iuc| of hydronen would therefore be tho f«r elite of these weights, that is HI—L =28 8G grs. The ascending loroe cubic foot of hydrogen will be lis!'. 17'28=4!)tv7. grs. The ascending iol of 1,000 cubic feet will be lll.S-7xl.lJ 108.700 grs. or 71 25 lbs.

the bulk of hydrogen required to lift pound Now this bulk multiplied the weights' of a man irives the cubic l| of gas needed to lift him as fxl5(| 2,100. cubic feet.

So far we have made no account of weight of the bag. This should be adi to the weight to be lifted. Whatthoweu| of the bag really is. depends of coil upon the material of which it is structcd. Also in practice as the ga not pure and is liable to leak away, extra supply of gas must be taken board.

NEVADA.—Abo

twenty miles from Carson City, Nevadl are some remarkable mineral spri called Steamboat Springs, from the noil they make, which sounds like r.ever| steamers disehaiLringsteam. These sprint cover an area of about three acres. Til water is boiling hot. and the escapii| steam can lie seen for several before sunrise, and the atmosphere in th vicinity is filled with the smell of sulphc There are crevices in the rocks where th| water can be seen boiling at a depth thirty feet.. TLcie is also a spring whitis called Hrcatluni Spring. It is shape much like a well. The water recedes t| the depth of ten or twelve feet, aud rc mains calm for live minutes, aud thei commences to boil, and rises until shoots into the air above ten feet, and five minutes it beirins to recede.— K.r

FHO.M HANK TO lir.\Km\—Owners copjier-smeltiug works in iMigland hi been repeatedly mulcted in damages by their neighbors for the pernicious ellectflj of copper smoke upon crops and cattle, and an act was passed at the late session) of Parliament, requiring such parties to consume their smoke or the deleterious parts thereof. The arsenical deposits 1 from such works have completely denuded of 'Negetation considerable portions of land in their vicinity. A process has now been devised and set in operation by Mr. Vivian, a copper smelter and member of Parliament, by which the copper smoke is condonscd for the manufacture of sulphuric acid and is employed withjphospliatcs, to produce a valuable superphosphate for fertilizing purposes, said to be almost uuequuled lor green crops. Mr Vivian expresses confidence that, he will be able to supply fertilizing matter from his works i'or -10,000 acres of land.

TIIR quantity of atmospheric electricity at. 110011,

is much greater in winter

than in summer, the relation being about ten to one. This augmentation of electric force proceeds iu a manner almost parallel with the number of days of frost or fog, and inversely as the number of days of thunder, elevation of temperature, aud actinic power. •.„•••

SUH.MARI.NK Piiu'jOTIIIAI'NV.—M. Bazin has obtained clear submarine photograms at a depth of 1100 feet, in his divinir studio, by means of the electric light thrown through water-tight lens windows upon the objects to be photographed. The value of this invention in submarine surveying is obvious.
