Weakened or defective in quantitj by oxereatiag

ened condition of the eystetn, they cannot be
destroyedjby the process of digestif n, and hence
irreat harm comes troui tueni. now. n is an
tercsting tact tnat iresn ripe iruu, is
preventative for this state of thinsr Dr. Benja
min Rush! pointed this out a hundred years a.
He made a series of experiment on earth worms
which he tegarded as more nearjy allied to those
that iuf'csi the bowels of children than any other,
nritli vi.-w to test their Dower of retaiuin?: life
under the! influence of various substances tbst
might be used as worm medicines, j The results
proved that worms often lived longer in those
substances' known as poisonous than in some pi
tha irinst bn'riiiWs articles of food. For instance
in watery polutions of opium they lived eleven
minutes : fu infusion of pink root, thirty three
minutes : in claret wine, ten minutes; but in the
juice of red cherries they died in six minutes;
black cherries, in nve minutes; rea currauw. u
ilirAP in in id en pooseberries. in . four minute:
. ... .ww JO
whortleberries, in seven minutes; and raspberries,
in nve minuses. ;
From these experiments Dr. Rush aTgued that
fresh ripe j fruits, of which ichildren are very
fond, are the most speedy and effectual poisioas
for worms! I In practice this theory has proved
to be-correct. j 1
i If we eat and drink hot and exciting materi
als the blood becomes inflamed, the nerves exas
perated, and the brain sends but thoughts that
are base and mean. If we wwild do away with
those foods that only influence the passions, awl
substitute 'more fruit in their place we would
need less restraint on wrong doers, tor our heads
would be clearer, our blood cooler; our nerves
steadier, our impulses more, sulgect toreasoi.
and life would be a hundred per cent, truer and
better than it is to-day. ! 1 i I

resolved to 'pop it" to ther old man the next
day; "but," said he, 'as I think of the task my
heart shrinks." To be brief, night passed, and
by the dawn of another day! the old man was to

CLOVKR AN KCONOMJCAL CROP. TUf d
clover is recognized as ranking highly( as a fer
tilizing crop. Prof. Voelcker, in a report of tho
T?.C,rl lrrWnlliiral R.ieielV of Kii-rlsnd. in I860,
said, in substauce, that cxperiuienu made showed
the largest crop of clover removed from tne soil
appeared to iucrease its wheat capabilities. From
this, as well as irom other aeuuvinma
Professor, together with his own experience in
the same line, a correspondent ofthe KuralNew
Yorker comes to the following conclusions : .
'The best result to be gained in the use of
clover as a fertilizer, comes by letting the growth
reumia as long as possible on ground, without
even mowing or feeding. In this way lbs roots
attain their greatest development, and the dense
shade to the top soil is favorable to t be" decomposi
tion of nitrogeuous matter. I would produce
as dense and luxuriant a growth as pofsible, let
it remain uutouched by scythe or hoof until the
last of summer, then plow and sow wjth wheat,
n Tialtar still work thorOU ?hlv in the autumn, .
and next spring, sow with barley aud fwlliiW witn
wheat. .-."'.'..: . ,y- j

the leaders of your excellent paper the benefit
ofmy experience in raising water-melons. I
tried to raise them for several years, but failed until
the last two years. I plant the seed in an old tin '
pan or box about the first of May, and keep tW m
in a warm place on the southeast side of the
house, and when they are nicely np, I transplant
them where I have desigircd they should grow.
Hefore I put theiirout, I remove the soil l.ITw

this way s I could wish for. La.t spring I
thought that if I prepared the ground aa above
stated, and planted the seed iu tho hills. I would
get a good crop, t I planted them in the hill;
they came up well, but ilid not seem to grow,
