between the rows. An acre will then contain 7,350 

 roots. A single root of the second year's growth, 

 (in the dry sand bill,) at three cuttings, has this year 

 already yielded 7 l-2lbs. of green hay, and will 

 without doubt, yield at least as much more before 

 frost. At that rate an acre of pure sand-htil, well 

 manured, would yield 15 tons of cured hay, of a 

 quality as good as the best blade fodder." 



We have received a transcript of the remarks 

 of the Rev. Mr. Allen of Pembroke, Mass. in the 

 Legislature on a proposition to revive an act for 

 the encouragement of Agriculture ami Manufac- 

 tures. We think them able, pertinent and inter- 

 esting, and regret that Ave are under the neci 

 of postponing their publication to our next. 



Other favors remain to be acknowledged, and 

 requests to be complied with, which shall meet 

 due attention as soon as possible.

Early Ploughing. Some farmers began to plough in 

 Northampton meadow on the 17th inst. — Hampshire Ga- 

 zette. 



Jin "entire Sivinc." Mr. Sable Rogers of tins town, 

 on Thursday last butchered a Skoat which weighed, after 

 being dressed, seven hundred and eight pounds. The age 

 of the animal was two years, and the clear pork through 

 his back measured nine inches in thickness. It was " a 

 wonder unto many" of the U. S. Bank men, how this 

 Swine could become so unusually fat, in these times of 

 " pecuniar}' pressure and distress.'' — Springfield Whig. 



si Thunder Storm of great severity occurred in Boston 

 and its vicinity in the night of the 20th inst. In Ran- 

 dolph, Mass. a house was struck with lightning and con- 

 siderably injured, the electric fluid passing down near 

 the chimney, and almost destroying a room in the lower 

 story. No person in the house was injured. 



AMARYLLIS FOR.MOSISSIMA, 



Or Jacobean Lily. 

 This is a very magnificent flower. It throws out gracefully 

 iis glittering carmine-coloured petals, which have a brilliancy 

 almost too intense for the eye to rest upon. It must be planted 

 in a He. in. now soil, naturally rich : take some from under your 

 grass plot, anil mix in a little sand. Plant in April or May, ill 

 a pot, or in the open ground in a sunny situation ; place the 

 root so that the highest point is not more than one inch below 

 the surface : it will tlowcr in July and August, and will well 

 repay the little trouble of putting it into the ground. In .No- 

 vember cut oil' the stalk, take up the root, and after drying it a 

 few days, pack it in dry sand, and put it in the cellar, to keep 

 it from the winter's frosts. Just received and for sale bv

PAINT OIL. 



The subscribers keep on hand a constant supply of their 

 " Prepared Paint Oil," which is offered for sale with renewed 

 assurances of its merit. This Oil, independent of being ~6 

 per cent, cheaper in price, will actually cover a quarter more 

 surface, as has been repeatedly proved and confirmed by state- 

 ments of many Painters. Upwards of 200 buildings in tins 

 city and vicinity can be referred to. many of them painted 

 two years ago, which continue to look wcli, and retained their 

 °;loss through the first year, which is a clear demonstration of 

 lis strength. 1'he Prepared Paint Oil is found to answer a 

 valuable pnrpose to mix with Linseed Oil. giving it slreugth 

 and durability with a more permanent gloss. It paints a ver} 

 clear white, flows smooth, and is more free from nulldew, and 

 changes resulting from the sea air, than any other Oil.
