Feb. 29, 1820. ECONOMY. To the Lover$ of good Now is the time to examine the root* t^e lower part of the stems of your Irw* trees, where you will find worms lull grown, and ready to turn into the chry salis state. You will also find the chry salis in a case or covering, formed with earth and gum, or glutton, lying in numbers round the stems of the trees, just under the surface of the ground, or at the places where the gum has is sued from the trees liy the perforation of the grubs. They lie in the chrysalis state about three weeks, v when they take wing, and from one female I coun ted 678 eggs! Judge, then, if suffered to escape, what destruction is preparing for your young trees and fruit; for some lay their eggs on the bark of the trees, and some on the fruit. The young worms pierce in and destroy both. There is not a day to be lost, for now is the time to destroy them, or they will destioy your future prospects. To dratroy intecta which infe?t fruit tree*. ? Take a small quantity of un slackcd lime, mix it with soft water to the consistency of very thin white -wash ? apply this mixture with a biush, to the trees, as soon as the sap begins to rise; wash the stems* and large boughs with it, taking core to have it done in dry weather, that it may adhere, and withstand rain. In the course of the ensuing summer, this will be found to h*ve removed all thr moss and insects, and give to thtf bark a frt sh and green appe.irance. The trial is simple, and not attended with much trouble, cx 1 peusc, or danger. Itcceipe for making Butter . Churn the milk or cream, while it is sweet ; work out all the butter milk, use salt that is clean and Jine; put in no more than if it was for your immedi ate use Should it now?be sent away to sell, let it be done in the cool of the | morning, that it may not be heated. Those who rcceive it, may put it into a strong pickle for one or two days. The kegs, into which it is packed, must be flagged and water tight, to contain 20 or 2 5 pounds of butter. Sr>ak them thoroughly in a strong pickle 24 hours, then tare them, sircar a little fine sail on the side, carefully pack each colour ' and quality of butter by itself. Fill the keg within one inch of the top, take a thin slicc and separate the wood irom the butter around the inside of the keg, head it, makt a small hole in the top and fill it solid with pickle, in which is a little salt petrc dissolved. In this way, if the ki gs are tight and well made, of thick staves so as not to strain through, the butter w*T. keep as sweet as a rose for years, and every keg would inspect first sort; for a hot cli mate would command an extra price, and be superior to any put up in any other common way. The pickle used to put butter into where it is first taken in, should be boilrd once in two months, and it will become as clcar as wine ? the older , the better. From Poul?on*s American Daily Advertiser. I was pleased to observe an article from a Huston paper, relative to the right preparation of butter for market; it is w ell recommended to have the but trr-milk all extracted, but the only ef fectual manner of doing?it is not descri bed. Unless the butter is left to stand several hours after it is first worked and sailed, (for the salt tp dissolve before it is finally salted and put up for the mar ket,) it will not be effected, which is in dispensable to prevent b.rtter changing to a rancid taste, so soon as the greater part docs. N. Mw method of Inoculating trees. A common method of inoculating is by making a transverse section in the stock and a perpendicular slit below it; the bud is then pushed down to give it the position which it is to have. This is not always successful ? it is better to reverse it, by making the vertical slit ab? vc the transverse section, and push ing the bud upwards into its position? a method which rarely fails of success; because as the sap descends by the bark, as has been ascertained, and docs not ascend, the bud thus placed above the transverse section, rec eives abundance, but w hen placed below, the sap cannot reach it. A*. 1'. Evcnmg Poat. An txcclhnt French crment%for all kinds of out doo^ fviinting. Take ;is much lime as in usual in making a half bushel of white wash, and let it be mixed in a half bushel, or pail, nearly full of water; in this, put two pounds and a half of brown sugar, and three pounds of salt, mix them well to gether, and the ccmcnt it completed. to* A little lamp black, yellow ocre or other coloring commodity may he intro duced to change the colour of the ce ment to p tease the fancy ot those who use it.

M We, the physicians, surgeons and apothecaries of Dublin, whose names ! are here underwritten, do hereby certi fy and declare, i M That we consider the discovery of the medical properties of oil ot turpen tine, as one of the greatest that has ever been made in physic. " That it appears from medical histo ry, that child-bed fever has hitherto de solated society in every part of the globe where it has appeared, and the instances of recovery from that dreadful malady are so few, as justly to entitle it to the appellation of an incurable disease. 44 That it tills, within the knowledge of such as are engaged in the practice of midwifery, that the oil of turpentine is an infallible specific in this complaint; and although other remedies may with advantage be employed in conjunction, yet that to the specific influence of tu~ pentine we ascribe the removal of the disease of child-bed fever in every ease. " That mankind are indebted for this great discovery to the zeal, ability, and industry, of Dr. John BrKnan. That we believe his humane disclosure of this very important secret has been the means of saving a multitude of lives, and that it will ever prove to be one of the most valuable legacies that ever were bequeathed to posterity by the ge nius of an individual. " That we hold his discovery to he greater than that of Dr. Jenner, inas much as the small pox had an antidote, and that childbed fever had not; and u That for this very great discovery, we deem Dr. Brenan deserving the gratitude of the wohle human race, and eminently entitled to any reward, which the bounty of government can bestow." [ Signed by the Physicians, Surgeon i, and Apothecaries of Dublin.] Jin Infiiliablr Cvrc for Corns on 1\c Toes or Feet . Take a piece of dressed buckskin; shape it to the part afflicted; shave it thin on the edges; in the centre cu: a hole, as near as possible to the size and shape of the corn;? should one thick ness not be sufficient, stitch several to gether so as to prevent the corn from being touched by the shoe or boot. For tified in this way, the tighter your shoes are the better, as the leather at every step compresses the corn all round, and causes it to start upwards, and in a short lime it will drop out. ? Wmlst under the operation, wash the part occasionally, and when dry drop a little sweet oil on the corn. If the corn is on the foot make the leather broad, slip the stock* ing over it and you need no bandage; but if on the toe, it must be tied with a woollen or cotton thread, so as to keep it steady. Any further information on this subject, if required, will be given gatis. ? Yours, kc. J. M. A*. r. Adv. Remedy for curing Consumption , or Cltugh , Translated from a foreign paper. Mix together in an earthen pot 2 quart* of strong ale, 1 quart of white honey, 3 ounces of the leaves of pulmonaria uffi cinales, or lung wort, cut small, and two handsful of wheat bran ? cover the pot, and boil this composition till reduced to one half? while boiling it may be stir red a few times, observing, however, not to let it remain two long uncovered. After being well strained through some fine linen, pour tbe liquid part into a bottle, and put it in a cellar or any other place where it can be kept cool. The patient may drink of it as often as his strength will permit without bringing on giddiness, say about a wine glass every hour through the day. It is re commended as mild, cheap, and cur ing to a certainty. Calcutta. Dec. I. SELF IMMOLATION.
