WASIIIXG MACIIIVK.
The subscriber having purchased the Right of the
above Machine for the Counties of Cumberland and
Harnett, is. now ready to furnish such as may be
desirous of obtaining a Right. The machine is simple,
both iu its structure and operations, and should any
portion of it fail, can be easily and speedily repaired
by any person having the use of tools. I do not claim
for this machine move than what it is able to perforin
with that description of labor which almost every
family is able to supply, without at all interfering
with tte ordinary duties. In the first place a child
12 or 15 years of age can perforin all the labor, after
having seen it operate a few times, aud if the direc
tions are adhered to, will do as much work in one day
as three or four women in the ordinary way, and the
work will be much better done. Below will be found
a certificate from those who have purchased aud no?
have in use one of these machines

We, the undersigned, having piu-chased of Mr lsham
Blake one of the above machines, cordially recommend
it to the favor of the Public. It washes very rapidly,
and the work is much better done than is usually done
in the old way, and with less wear to the Clothing.
It far exceeds our expectations, and has only to be
seen in operation to satisfy the most skeptical of its
utility and economy. We have no doubt of its being
generally used wherever introduced.

would be the tocisu of immediate war.

She has tried it faithfully in India, but without

cotton makes splendid mulls and lawns, such as
a bishop might wear or a bride adorn herself

There is another enemy, also, by which they
are frequently infested a small grub, similar
in many respects to tnose lounu in corn ana
potaloe hills, and which not unfrequcutly prove
very destructive. Salt water applied to the
hills will have a tendency to arrest their depre
dations, aud if the application be repeated
frequently, say once in two or three days, it
will effectually destroy or drive theni off.
The "water, however, should not be allowed
to come in contact with the foilage in this instance,-but
should be applied to the soil imme
diately around the stalks, but without coming
in actual contact with them. To destroy the
first uamed insect, it may be applied iu a state
sufficiently diluted to admit of a perfect .ablu
tion of every part of the foilage; but its we
said before, care must be taken not to imike it
too strong, or it will destroy the plant. Every
cook knows or ought to know, that the washing
of cabbage, lettuce, spinch, &c, in salt ., water
i before cooking or preparing for the table, is
sure to expel every species of insect wnicn so
frequently seeks a habitation or a shelter in
these vegetables. -Western Agriculturist.

" Being in the country, I had an example of
one of those small losses which a family is ex

a latchet of smail value, the wicket of a barn
yard leading to the fields was often left open.
Every one who went through drew the door te,
but as there was nothing to fasten the door
with, it was always left flapping; sometimes
open and sometimes shut. . So the cocks and,

Csltnlatlons In Regard to Fodder . -
It is a great object to the farmers of Maine
to raise a supply of the best kinds of fodder for
their stock during the winter. Hay, we till
know, is the great dependence the staple ma
terial for this purpose, but there are many other
crops which can be raised to advantage among
us, and which are very valuable for furnishing
food to stock, and thereby saving hay.
In order lo ascertain the real value of those
crops for the purpose above named, it will bo
necessary to compare the nutritive properties
of the several articles with good hay, as the
standard.
Experiments, and close and careful compari
son of the results of many trials, have given tho
following us the comparative dynference.Uctweeri
the articles mentioned and good hay. We haro
published these results before, bnt we now put
them in a tabular form, so as to give the rcader
an easier mode of comparing them.
100 pounds of hay are equal to.
275 pounds of green Indiaii corn,'
442 pounds of rye straw,
164 pounds bat straw,
153 pounds pea straw;
201 pounds of raw potatoes,
175 pounds of boiled potatoes:'
339 pounds mangel wurtzel;
504 pounds turnips;
54 pounds rye; t
46 pounds wheat;
59 pounds oats,
45 pounds peas or beans,
64 pounds buckwheat,
57 pounds Indian corn;
68 pounds acorns,
105 pounds wheat bran,
109 pounds rye bran,
167 pounds wheat; pea; and dat chaff,
179 pounds rye and barley. .
From this "bird's eye view," it will be easy
to calculate the fodder value of any of the
above articles which you may raise. For in
stance, if you have 504 lbs, of turnips, they,
will give as much nutrition to your cattle as
100 lbs. of good hay, or, in other words, it will
take 5 lbs: of turnips to be equal to 1 lb. of hay.
An ox, it is said, requires 2 per cent of hay
per day if he does not work, aud 1 per cent,
if he work. Suppose, therefore, you have art
ox that weighs 1500 lbs; he will require 30
lbs of hay per day if he does not work. But
you wish to feed him in part turnips. Jt yoa
give him 15 lbs of hay, how many pounds of
turuips must you give him to make up the snp-
ly I Ans. 7o lbs. which, at 60 lbs. to tho
bushel, will be 5 pecks.
Again, according to the table; a little moro
than half a pound of Indian Corn is equal to ii
pound of liny. If, therefore, you give the snmo
ox but 15 lbs. of hay, how much Indian corn
must he have to supply the 15 lbs 7 Ans. A
little over 8 lbs. Allowing Corn t6 Weigh 50
lbs. per bushel, it will take 5 quarts and a third.
Allowing the estimates in the table to bo
correct, they will be a convenient enide to the
farmers in feeding cattle, &c., on other articles,
in order to save their hay.
A milch cow is said to require 3 per cent, of .
her weight per day. A sheep, full grown, 3J
per cent. Maine Farmer.
