Agricultural
Green Dressing. That is
ploughing a green" crop in the
grouml in the summer to insure
a good crop of some other
kind clover, lucerne, buck
wheat, potts or oats, miller, or
any rich esculent plant, sowed
in the spring, may he turned in
the hitter end of June, or when
over it is fullest of sap or juices.
liter ueing under ground
two or three weeks it is suffi
ciently rotted; then plough for
your winter grain. This is a
verygreat improvement in ag
riculture, and getting much Tu
practice.
There are various means of
improving land; in fact lands
may be kept continually pro
gressing in strength by a prop
er rotation of crops and grass,
and ploughing. But in the ex
ecution of these, much judg
ment is required of the farmer,
tor without some knowledge on
his part, some fixed undeviating
nde the best farmer may be
ruined.
The first means of improving
land in point of importance is
that of ploughing under grass
or any kind of vegetables.
When land is poor it should
never remain long without till
ing, but the fewer the crops are
before seeding the belter, and
at every breaking up, a thick
sward of grass should be inva
riably tu.ned under. -It is gen
erally thought that it matters
not how7 close a field is pastur
ed when it is about to be
ploughed up; and this is true if
we wish to make a rich field
poor, for this is the most certain
method of effecting that end.
When old grass or corn yard
immure is left on the surface ii
is nearly lost, for the most nu
tritious parts are evaporated by
the heat of the sun and fly off,
but when they are turned under
the surface, they mingle with
tlie earth and tire retained ma
ny years. So that the oftener
we plough under a coal of
grass, the faster our land will
improve in richness.
Genitessec Farmer
Domestic Industry. A gen
tleman residing in this neigh
borhood made his appearance
in town, a few days ago, attired
in a complete suit o f silk the
product of his oicjifilatonji
whole process of culture, spin
ning, weaving, and making,
having peen performed on his
own farm, and by his own fami
ly. The fabric, in appearance,
nearly resembles Angola, but
is much softer, and evidently tt
superior description of goods.
It surpasses any domestic fab
ric of the kind we have ever
seen. The suit is grcy-mixt
and consists of coat, vest, pan
taloons, and stockings.
We have no doubt, from
what we have already witness
ed, that the culture of silk in
North-Carolina will, in the
course of a few years, become
a branch of industry claiming
the attention of many of our
industrious and enterprising
rz. rfjvo 43.
farmers. In a measure, it will
rival the growth ot cotton, and
become an article of not unlv
domestic utility, but of revenue
to the country. Those who
have attempted its culture with
proper attention, have always
found their cfiorts crowned
with success; and they will yet
deserve the gratitude of the
people for reducing the theory
to successful practice.
Washington Times.
Posts.Tlio durability of
posts used in making fences is
a matter of sreat imnortnnrn m
farmers, and will continue so
as lung as the present system of
fencing is continued. We are
informed that the Shakers at
Union Village, have been in the
habit of making oak posts as
durable as locust, by a very
simple and easy process. Thi3
is merely to bore a hole in that
part of the post which will be
just at the surface of the earth,
with such a slope as will carry
it just below the surf ice, and
fill it with salt. This, it is
s-aid will preserve the timber
from decaying for a long time;
and from tlie knowledge wo
have of the influence of salt in
preserving ship limber when
treated in a similar manner, we
have no doubt of its beino- an
excellent method.
Domestic Economy. We
particularly recommend the
Washing Machine advertised
by Mr. Edward L. Fant, in our
paper to-day to the notice of
heads of families, as the best
invention of the kind that has
yet been patented. We have
seen it in operation and wit
nessed the surprising facility
and ease with which it cleans
es various articles submitted to
the process of washing, from a
Marseilles bed quilt or a pair of
blankets of the largest size, to a
baby's cap, which, no matter
how much soiled or becrimed.
it renders perfectly clean in 10
or II minutes. The saving of
lal tor in the use of this machine
is not the most important con
sideration! M)lrf K rirt fnrti..n
at all, in the process, which is
a vast saving in the wear and
tear of clothing, and it requires
so little sotip as to economise
in the expenditure of that arti
cle, in an ordinary family, in 12
months, to the amount of its
cost. If there are any who
think we exaggerate in our ac
count, we recommend them to
see the machine in operation,
and it will satisfy them that we
do not. Mr. Fant offers to sell
a right for SG50, for which up
wards of $2000 might be clear
ed by the sale in Norfolk and
Portsmouth in three months.
Should he not succeed in this,
he will furnish the machines
himself, at 814 each, as soon as
1000 can be engaged.
Norfolk Herald.
A spoon full of flax seed,
steeped an hour or two in warm
water, and given to calves with
their accustomed food, once a
day, till they are six or seven
weeks old is very beneficial to
them. When Corn meal,
which is highly valuable, is ad
ded to their food, a little mag
nesia or chalk, now and then
will prevent scouring.
