Ma Ff.fskxpf.n 5', In the 5th vol. p?f 373 "f 'lie X E Farmer, you notice the statement of a writer in the Farmers1 Matrzi..e, a Ihitish publication, who amon? several other fine things, aert that" i: the drills where the flowers (meaning 'he potato blossoms) were gatheied as soon as thev, appeared the crop nvs doubled, to what it was where the ap pits were allowed to come to maturity j You pulii-brd this sialement in XZ'il . 1 , tieiieve it bid been previously publi-iied by Mr Rnibt, that plu'ktrig (dlthe pta to Idoswnitw would preatlv increase the - r j crop. 'I'he present season I tried the oxperi. men!; and I will now give you the result I planted twelve rows f the Chenago potatoes all in dr ills of exactly sixty five feet in length Without any preference i drove a stake at the hend of one of the rows, and from that row 1 carefully cropped the blossoms from clay to day as the appeared. Last week 1 !ng tbern, and from the row which 1 plucked every bios f om, J gathered 330 large, handsome Chenagoes fit for the steamer aUo J 46 -mall ones fit only for my cow One adjoining row from which no blossoms were taken produced 35d. equally larire and fit fr the steamer, together v i t It 129 small -me The other adjoining row, from which no blossoms had been taken, produced 3GG equally large and fine, together with onl 92 -mall ones So that my land, with s uctly the same cultivation I have no doubt produced at least 0 per rent more potatoes reckoning large and small, by leaving nature to herself. I pray you, sir, to recommend the same experiment to be tried by others, the next year, with different eorts of potatoes. Inquirer. To make Salt Butter Fresh Put four pounds of salt butler into a churn with four quarts ol new milk, and a small portion ol arnotto. Churn them together, and 4u about an hour take out the. butter, and treat it exactly as fresh butter, by washing it in water and adding the customarv quantity of salt This is a singular experiment. The butter gaina about three ounces in each pound, and is in every respect equal to fresh butter. It would be greatly improved by the addition of two or three ounces of fine sugar, in powder. A common earthen churn answeis the fame purpose as a wooden one, and may ijc purchased at auy pot shop. Goodsclfs Farmer.

But f , , 0 , .. this cannot he Hon? eaiy wuu a puiaio house, as it cannot be completely packed or filled like a int. Besides, some polatnea arp renerallv wanted dailv: and thus air is admitted, and a greater vacuity con--stantly making, both of which are very likely to be the means of proving injurious or desttuctive to what potatoe- may be in the house, when a severe frost sets in. Tbeie is no such thing in nature as a vacuum; thetcfoie, if a place is noifill ed with some substance or other, it will be ti'd with air. For ibis reason, pus are better for preserving potatoes from fiosl than a house, because a pit can he moie effectually filled; and by opening a pit when potatoes ate wanted, and lemovmg the whole into -urn1 part of a house, and f!:ll keep over thetn a covering of sliaw, tuif, or divot, the potatoes are kept close.

Love and matrimony are things which should come unlooked for, il they come at all. All rule, and argument, and manage ment upon the subject, are fatal to the de licacv and refinement of female character.

From the London Penny Magazine. tj:a. The history nf commerce did not, perhaps, present a parallel to the circumstan ces which have attended the introduction of Tea into Great Biitain. This leaf was first imported into Europe by the Dutch East India Company, in the early part of the 17th century; but it was not until the year 1GCC that a small quantity was brought ovet from Holland to this country by the Lords Arlington and Ossory: and yet, from a period earlier than any to which the memories of any of Ihe existing generation can reach. Tea has been one

o! the principal necessaries of life among all classes of the community To provide a sufficient supply ol this aliment, many thousand ton9 of the finest mercantile navy in the woild are annually employed in trading with a people by whom all deal ings with foreigners are merely tolerated; and from this recently acquned tase, a very line and easily collected revenue is obtained by the state. The Tea plant is a native of China or Japan, and probably of both. It has been need among the natives of the former country t om time immemorial It is only in a ; aitirular tract of the Chinese empite that, the plant is cultivated; and thi tract, which i situated on the eastern side, between the 30ih and 33. i degiee of north latitude, i- distinguished by the natives as ' the Tea counti v.'" The maie northern part of China would be too cold ; and further south the heat would to be too great There are, however, a few small plantations to be seen near Can ton The Chinese give to the plant the name of fcfoz or tha.

The names by which soaie of the principal sorts of Tea are known in China are taken from the places in which they are produced, while others are distinguished according to the perio Is of their gathering, the manner employed in curing, or ether extrinsic circumstances. It is a commonly received opinion, that the distinctive color of green Tea is imparted to it by sheets of copper, upon which it is dried. For this belief there is not, however, the smallest foundation in fact, since copper h never used for the purpose. Repealed experiments have been made to discover, by an unerring test, whether the ! leaves of green Tea contain any anpieg , nation of copper, but in no case has any trace of this metal been detected. 1 The Chinese do not use their Tea until1 ttii abjal a jear old, considciing Uiali

too actively narcotic when new Tea ia jet older when it is brought into consumption in England, a, in addition to the length of time occupied in its collection and transportation to this country, the East India Company are obliged by then charter to have always a supply sufficient for one yearns consumption in 'heir London waiehouaes; and this regulation, which enhances the price to the consumer, is said to have been made by way of guarding in some measure against the inconveniences that would attend ?ny interruption to a trade entirely dependant upon Ibo

caprice ot an arbitrary government. The people of China partake of Tea at all their meals, and frequently at other times of the day. They drink the infusion prepared in the aatne manner as wc employ, but they do not mix with it either sugar or milk. The working classes in that country are obliged to content themselves with a very weak infusion.Mr Andereon, in his Narative of Lord Macartney's Embassy, relates that the natives in attendance never failed io heg the Tea leaves remaining after the Europeans bad breakfasted, and with h e, a'ter submitting them again to boiling water, they made a beverage which they acknowledged was better than an) tbey could ordinarily obtain.
