Sturgeon Pie. 



Would some of our friends on the river shore, plough 

 up a hank of earth, and place upon it half-a-dozen stur- 

 geon, covering them with three feet of vegetable mould, 

 swamp mud, &c., and note the result. After decomposi-

tion, the mass should bo turned over and mixed with 

 lime and plaster; the latter to prevent the escape of 

 animoniacal gas. Many loads of the most valuable m.i- 

 nure might thus be obtained at comi^-irativcly small ex- 

 pense. It is quite inconceivable in liow many ways an 

 industrious, intelligent man has it in his power to adil to 

 his means of crcafiii^ manure, without going to the city — 

 a distance of ten or twelve miles, perhaps— to purchase 

 spent ashes and stable dung, at enormous prices! There 

 are few who could not supply a much better article 

 than the first, by setting fire to the rubbisli around 

 their dwellings, after collecting it into a heap for that 

 purpose; while the urine, which escapes from theircat- 

 tie-yard during the whole year, would, if preserved, 

 amount to many times more than the value of all the 

 city-muck, which is obtained at so much cost of labour, 

 time and money. By these means, a man might sooa 

 make a large farm of a small one — for " it is the crops, 

 and not the land, that give a profit." 



We are indebted to the publisher of " Lcibig's Che- 

 mistry," for a copy of that most valuable and interest- 

 ing work, which ought to be found in the library of 

 every educated agriculturist in the Union. It creates 

 a new field for ob.servation, reflection and experiment. 

 We consider it, in the l,tngiiage of Mr. Nutall, " the 

 best book ever published on vegetable chemistry, as ap- 

 plied to Agriculture, and calculated to produce a new 

 era in scii.nce." It may be obtained at the store of the 

 proprietors of the Cabinet, No. 50, North Fourth St., 

 together with other standard works on Agriculture, 

 Horticulture, and the arts and sciences generally. 



On a visit which we yesterday paid to the very ex- 

 tensive and most admirably cultivated gardens of Mr. 

 Buist, ill 12th street, Philadelphia, we witnessed with 

 astonishment the growth of the Bokhara Clovo — a spe- 

 cimen of which was exhibited at a late meeting of the 

 Pliiladelphia Agricultural Society— and found it, by 

 measurement, five feet four inches in height, full of 

 foliage, and standing thick and upright in the rows. 

 The produce must be enormous, as Mr. B. informed us 

 it might be cut seven times during the summer. It is 

 improperly denominated Clover. Its appearance is pre- 

 cisely that of Lucerne, and we would suggest the pro- 

 priety of giving it the name of Oiganlic Lucerne. 



The quantity of rain which fell during May (5th 



month,) was 3.259 inches.
