Ignmltnral aub Domestic. Catting Timber. If oak, hickory, or chestnut timber is felled on the 8ih month (August) in the aecond running of sap, and barked, quite a large tree will season peifeotly, and even the twigs will remain sound for years, whereas that cut in winter ccd re maining tiU next fall?as thick as one's wrist will be sap rotten, and will be al most useless for any purpose?the body of the oak split into rails will last more than tenor twelve years. Hickory cut in that month is not subject to be worm eaten, and will last a long time for fenc ing. When I commenced farming in 1820, it was the custom to cut timber for post fencing in the winter. White oak post and black oak post cut at that time, I found would not last more than ten or twelve years. In the year 1828, I com menced cutting fence timber in the 8th month. Many of the rails cut that year are jet sound, as those formed of chest nut ; if the bark is not taken off this month, however, it will peel off itself the second or third year, and leave the sap perfectly sound. The tops of trees are also more valuable for fuel than if cat in the winter or spring. I advise young farmers to try the ex periment for themselves, and if post fences will not last twice as long, I for feit my experiment as worthless. Kbkpikq Fuxs out op House.?In 1836, Mr. Spence communicated to the Transac tions of the Etomological Society the means of excluding flies from a room with unclosed windows, by covering the open ing of such windows with a net made of white or light colored thread, with mesh . es an inch or more iu diameter. Now, there was no physical obstacle whatever to the entrance of the flies, every sepa . rate mesh being not merely large enough to admit one fly, but several, even with expanded wings, to pass throug at the same moment; consequently, both as to the free admission of air, and of the flies, there was, practically, no greater imped iment than if the windows were entirely open; the flies being excluded simply from some dread of venturing across the thread-work. The only condition is that the light enters the room on one side only; for if there be a through light from an opposite window, the flies will pass through the net. Mr. Spence first saw this mode prncticed near Florence by a gentleman who had seen it edopted in the monastery either of Cameldoli or La Ver ne. A passage in Herodotus, book ii. chap. 95, records that fishermen in his time, were similarly protected from gnats when asleep, by covering themselves, with their casting^nets, through the meshes of which the gnats would not pass. 'Thus Herodotus is as correct in this pa3?&ge as Geofre St. llilare showed him to be in the history of a bird ( Char artus Egypticus of Hasslequist) taking the gnats out of the mouth of the crocodile, which was deemed a mere fable until con firmed by the evidence of St. Hilare when in Egypt.?Tib'? Things Not Generally Known. Better.?Will salt preserve butter? No. - That question is easily answered. Suit is added to butter for two reasons? one is to assist in its preservation, tbe diirv woman vainly thinking that plenty of salt will keep butter sweet. Another set adds salt with dishonest motives, with the idea that all the salt put in the butter is sold at the full price the butter brings. IVa great mistake. Every pound of salt put in butler over what is needed to give it flavor, instead of bringing cash returns to the butter maker, proves a positive loss of twenty-five cents a pound. Butter is not preserved by salt. That is positive, it will keep just as long and just as oweet as olive oil without salt, if no other substance is incorporated with it. It is tbe caseine of milk that spoils the butter, and unless it is free from that, no art can keep it sweet. Butter should be churned at 65 degrees, and immediately after, reduced to 40 degrees, and the less it is touched and handled the better. It must be worked cool, either with or without washing, as that is a mooted question, until absolute ly free from butter milk, or particles of curd, and then, just enough, and no more salt added to suit the taste of the con sumer. The salt must be pure, and one ounce, to ten pounds of butter, will be suf ficient. Then pack the butter solidly in any cask of sweet wood or stone pot, so as to exclude the air, and just so long as the air is excluded, the butter will re* main sweet. If it could be kept perfect* ly excluded, the period that it would keep sweet is forever. Your question is answered. Salt will not preserve butter. JSTA small handful of Bait given to cows twice a week seems to act as a pre ventative against many of the diseases in cident to neat cattle. Besides regular salting in small quantities, saves a great amount of labor at the churn?a fact worth knotting by those who have to toil an hour or more to bring a few pounds of butter, and then perhaps of an inferior quality. Skids.?Select the best and most prolific seeds. A superior root, grain, or seed, is cheaper in the end, at almost any price, than an inferior one. Extra expense in the procuring of it will be repaid with compound interest. A Valuable Rxckipt.?The Journal de St. Quintin publishes a receipt for cur ing cattle of the fermentation produced in their stomachs from eating clover and other green food. Tne remedy is a spoon ful of ammonia,dissolved in a glass of wa ter-administered to the animal. The cure, it states, takes place within an hour. Glass Pans tor Milk.?A correspon dent for the Genesee Farmer, cites ex periments made during a thunder storm, whicb proved glass pans instrumental in preventing milk which they contain from turning sour. A Dish tor Brkaktast.?Take one egg and beat it np. add a tea spoonful of salt, pour in about two~thirds of a pint of water, then slice some bread, dip it in and fry it in butter ; serve warm, JgrThe Farmer is one of God's noble men. NATURE. Ilia long experience and attention to this class of ooraplaints; his safe and apoody method of treatment, and hia extraordinary suc cess during a long and extensive practice, ena bles biin, confidentially, to promise all persona ro afflicted, a safo and radical euro, without in jury to the constitution or confinement from bu siness. By a long course of study and practioal experience, Dr. S. has now the gratification of nrMflnring tho unfortunate with remedies that havo never failed 'since he first Introduced them,' to cure the most alarming ease, and that in a ve ry short bnt reasonable time, without the aid of mercury or any othor deleterious drug. Within the last ten years Dr. 3. has cured more than thirty thousand cases of the above oharaoter, and it may be safely said that mobs than onb bali of the patients bad been previously treated with mercury and other mineral poisons by some for eign or native pretender to the healing art. Dr. Smith does not profess to be a_ Parisian, or a graduate of any London or Parisian hospital. Ho believes the United States can procure physi cians as capabl.e of curing disease, "no matter how'diflicult," as any foreigner who- has beon compelled to leave his own country because his boasted skill and wonderful discoveries in medi cine have failed to afford him a living at homo. Let tho unfortunate bear in mind, whon affliction overtakes him, that no time should bo lost in ma king application to a competent physician, as they would not only obtain relief from pain, avoid mortification through exposure, and olude great constitutional injury, butenablo thoh- med loal assistant to be more moderate in Mb charges than ho oould justly bo where symptoms have become confirmod or the disoaso mcro widoly dif fused. The rapid advances of this truly torrify ing disease is sufficient to alarm the boldest heart. Whon ulceration and discolored blotch es, with rucking pains, betray to tho unhappy victim the deadly poison preying upon his vitals, then, "and not till tlion," do many awako to a full sense of their danger. Yotj?o Men andothors afflicted with a Seminal Debility whether origininating from a cortain destructive habit, or from any other causc, with tho train of bodily and montal ovils which fol low, when neglected, should make un oarly ap plication, with the full assuranco that they can be speedily rostored to sound health and firm vig or. This is one of tho greatost ovils that can be fall man, and has doomed thousands of the hu man race to untimely graves; blastod the bril liant hopes of parents; and blighted, in tho bud, tho noble ambition of many an uspiring youth. Dyspepsia, weakness of the back, oyos and limbs, palpitation of the heart, dizziness, forgo tfulnoss, <&c., are symptoms of this disease. Impotence?Imi-uissance.?One of tho most frequent penalties paid by thoso who give unre strained license to their passions is a loss of vi rilo power. Tho young, unaware of the fearful results that may ensue, aro but too apt to com mit excesses. Irhpoteney may, and does, occur from stricture, gravel, deposites in the urine, and from many other causes; but by fur the most fre quent souroe of it is an abnso of the sexual or gans, by excessive vonery or solf-pollution?par tleularly the last. Too groat oxcitemont of the genital orgons is, however, productive of othor efleots, besides premature impoteney; it tends to derange the digestive functions, and weaken the physical and mental powers. Thus parents and 'others are often deceived as to the true sourco of the complaints of tho youth and young men. It could be shown how attenuation of tho frame, palpitation of tho hoart, derangement of tho nor vous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms, indicative of consumption, are often ascribed to wrong causes, when, in reality, they are tho consequences of an alluring and perni cious practice, alike dcstructivo to the mind and body. Dr.' Smith has given particular attention to tho cure of female complaints. His method of treating Suppression, Irregularities, and othor complaints peculiar to their sox, is safe, and sol dom requires but a short time to cure. Patients can bo cured at homo by addrossing a letter to Dr. Smith, describing symptoms, and reooive modicino,securely paoked from observation, for warded by oxpross or othorwiso, to any part of tho country. N. B.?Persons afflicted with any of the above complaints will do well to avoid boasting impos tors, whether foreign or nativo, as also the nu merous specifics, advertised as a cortain cure for any and overy disease. Those preparations aro put up to sell but not to cure, and troquontly do much more harm than good, therefore avoid them. A word to the wise is sufficient. d P. 8.?No lettors will bo answerod unless thoy contain a remittance or a postage stamp. dress Da. J. B.SMITII, No. 16 S. Frodorick St., Bultimore, Md.
