An edition of the Bible will eoon be published in England, containing not only the couijuon text, unaltered, but with the marginal readings approved :by the editors, said to be some of I the most learned theologians iu England? -. This will be a very great advantage for lithe understanding of the Hook of Books.. The ftmft ginal references will coqtain corrections of alEthe defects in our translations, and these, e.pecjjally, in the Old Testament, are sometimes very im portant. ! These amended renderings of the Greek and Hebrew depend upon the more pro found scholarship of modern times, as also upon the results of the discoveries of travelers who have illustrated points in regard to the geography, natural history and customs of the East sources of information closed to our forefathers. JThere will also be another edition, which jwU contain not only all the advantjijre of the lone above-mentionedj but it will also be divided into paragraphs according to the coinections of fthe argument or thej narration. The oM divi$:on of chapter and verse, which now so absurdlyfob-l scurcs the meaning of the Word of God, will be retained only in he margin, and thus will be removed the chief impediment to the understand ing of the Bible. It' is a wonder that such a darkener of its meaning should have been! so Ions: allowed to exist. It is probable that there willbe after a while a revision of our present translation, in which without touching the brjdy of the lanirunere of the same, whose fidelitv. strength, and beauty are inimitable, the liar giual glosses will - be substituted for the present imperfect I renderings of the originals. -For various renspus ttis caunot bei done now, as Jwe had expected ; but the next best thing to it tan be accomplished, namely: the necessary expla nations cau be added in the margin, and the very injurious aivi,sious mio cnapter ana verse be done away. ; i f"UU J'.nf.umatic Express.

Agricultural Plaster1-When and Where to Sow it A correspondent makes the following inquiries: ''When is the best time to sow plaster ? How much per acre ? On what crops will it par the bestr - , " , .) ' ' j The best time to sow plaster Is when the crop is young and tender, and - the weather begins to be warm 6aj from the 1st of May to the 1st of June. The quantity tnsv be whatever yoa can afford ; if the ground is deficient in nitrogenous resources, from 20 bushels downward. Grasses and small grains are mostly benefitted by it. Corn likes dearly to have . a good handful spriukled on each hill when about six inches high, after the first hoeing. On soila, otherwise well manured., or rich in vegetable mould, it is less -uscfuh-C V - - , To judge correctly concerning the application of this, as of any other manure, it is important to bear iu mind just what it does for the crop. ujid how it does it. . v j I While plants are composed of small propor tions of lime, potash carbon, iron, etv their chief food is nitrogen, which it gets! in form of .ammonia, which is given on to the atmosphere by decaying organic matter and washed down to the sjil by the rains: but being in the form of volatile gas, that which remains near the surface is quickly returned to the atmosphere under a warm suu, and lost to the plants. ! ! Plaster is composed of sulphuric acid sod lime. -When sown on the land, it comes in con tact with the gaseous ammonia as it seeks to escape from the soil, and the sulphnrio acid unites with the forming, salts of ammonia, an involaiile substance, and so prevents its escape. It is afterwards gradually dissolved by water and fed to the plants in more uniform and con tinuous supply. The office of the piaster is to arrest the escape of ammonia land to store it np fr af,ter use. This office of plaster and the way atter its application might nearly destroy its em- , a . .. . mi ciency. it is bad economy to sow it la toe lau of early spring, for while the weather remains cipld tliere.is no escape of ammonia from the soil, and none for the sulphuric acid to unite with. and before the weather becomes warm enough t0 volatilize the amuionia'the acid may be disai piated. But put on fresh, when the ammonia is active, the desired uuion is ineritable. Uurtro- sta farmer. Cotton Seed and Fertilizers. Editors Carolina Fa rmrr : As I hare read several articles in your paper recently in regard td the best method of using rotton seed, I will giv.e you a piece of practioal experience for this year, to May tho 15th. Vh ' t I have this year applied cotton seed to Loth cotton and corn some live and some dead nd sme co.mKsted with mud, all these ia the game field, and near together. I pronounce thoeo I composted with mud to be fur the best. I bare Cl'teen rows adjoining, fire are . manured with life cotton seed, five with dead cotton teed, and five with cotton seed compost. Those I man ured with compost are three hundred percent better than the live cotton seed, and two hun dred per cent better than the dead cotton seed. Strange to say that the corn ia twice aa good where I manured with dead cotton seed, aa it ia where I manured with live seed. i So that vou can say to your readel'a that if they will visit mv plantation. I will very aooa cdiuvincu them, that the farmers in North Caro lina would make more to compost their cotton Be zd with mud than to purchase so much eom idercial manure from foreign countries. 1I have two breadths of rows through my field, one manured with Peruvian gan0 and other commercial fertilizers, and the cotton on poor lnd is now tw&hundred per cent better where I put the compost. , ; I think I can successfully establish that the same money spent in composting, which we spirind, in purchasing guano and the phosphates, will return larger net proceeds in tne fanner's packet.' "Rut I would urge every farmer not to plant anything without manure; if he cannot n take enough, he must buy the remainder, for it d6es not pay to plant land without manure. Afid where not naturally dry, the land must bo tnprougniy arainea. We recently had a dreadful hail in thiaticio- ity, but it was very pnrti.il in its injury, almost ruining some fa rum aud not materially injuriug others. lours, ,V. K.

Y - r ' : .-! ; IA DjrcovIrt. Tbe'fartners of Southwestern Georgia have discovered a plan for preventing hog thieving. They feed their hogs on strych nine, giving a level, tcaspoonful to every three grown lings at a time. The strychnine pene trates the bog's fiesh and poisons it for three weeks thereaf ter. If eaten during this time it is fatal. The owner only has to let it be known that he gives his hogs strychnine, and they will be safe. This is a valuablo diawtery.
