P OUDRETTE and URATE— AMENDED DIREC-I 
TIONS FOR THEIR USE—(For previous directions,! 
see Cultivator, vol. vi. No. 3, p. 60.) Poudrette is not dis-f 
solved in water, before being used as is Urate, but is to be 
used in a dry state, or by mixing it with dry soil in bills orj 
drills, or sown in broadcast on the land, as you would lime 
or ashes. Experiments in this country, thus far, have proved 
the following methods as the most advisable in its application. 
For Corn— After the furrows have been struck, sprinkle in 
the place where the hill is to be, before planting, a handful 
of Poudrette, equal to about a gill, then deposite the corn, 
(double that quantity of Poudrette has destroyed corn, and; 
burned it up,) then cover up the com and press the earth 
down over it with the foot or hoe. 
For Potatoes —The same quantity, namely, a handful orl 
gill may be used very advantageously; and it has so happen-' 
ed, that when the quantity was increased nearly double, no 
injury resulted, but rather improved the potatoes, a large 
handful, however, is sufficient. 
Compost —It is worse than useless to attempt to make com-; 
post by mixing Urate or Poudrette with any thing but dry, 
soil: if mixed with other manures, they operate on the other 
manures until those manures are consumed, before they are: 
beneficial to plants; and in some instances it may be, that-; 
the result of the Urate and Poudrette in the first year of their*; 
first application, will not be as satisfactory to the farmer as; 
he will think he had a right to expect; this arises from the' 
fact that the land contains_ a considerable quantity of some, 
former manure, upon which the Urate and Poudrette will 
first act: at the very next season, however, the farmer will' 
find a crop far superior to his expectation, provided he will 
put no new manure of any description to the land lately ma-j 
nured with urate or poudrette. This, however, must be fur-j 
ther explained by saying, that it applies to manure placed or; 
dunged in the hill, or where the land is in a high state of; 
cultivation, from having been highly manured in broadcast^ 
which would give the poudrette an opportunity of feeding; 
upon or consuming it. Experience has proved, this year,j 
that where there was a moderate application of lime or barn-- 
yard manure applied to the land in broadcast, it did not ap 
pear to affect the influence of the poudrette on the crop. 
The quantity of poudrette must vary from 15 to 35 bushels;] 
per acre, according to the quality of the land, and the crop)’ 
cultivated; less than 15 bushels to the acre may not be very; 
satisfactory, and more than 35 is useless. On Long-Island,j 
the following has been adopted by a practical farmer with 
success, viz:—For wheat, 40 bushels of poudrette per acre;) 
rye 25 bushels; oats 20 bushels; buckwheat 15 bushels; In-j 
dian corn one gill in the hill.

the valuable Iron and Lumber Establishment, formerly own¬ 
ed and occupied by Penfield & Taft, situated on Putts creek, 
six miles from Lake Champlain, in Crown Point, Essex co. 
N. Y. The premises in question consist of a valuable water 
power, with a fall of more than 100 feet within sixty rods; 
on which there is now in operation a Grist-Mill with three 
run of stones, propelled by an overshot wheel; two Saw- 
Mills, one with overshot w'heel and double gear, all nearly 
new and in good order; a Forge with two fires; and a ma¬ 
chine shop for pounding and separating ore. The water for j 
propelling these works is held in reserve by four ponds or 
reservoirs on the premises; the upper one being about 2| 
miles in length, forming an ample reservoir for the whole 
works below, and affording sufficient water in itself for driv¬ 
ing a forge with four fires and a rolling mill. 
Adjoining the works are 600 acres of land, one-fourth ofj 
which is under good cultivation; on which are five dwelling-' 
houses, convenient barns and out-houses, a store, blacksmith 
shop, and buildings convenient for other purposes. 
There is also 1,000 acres of fine timbered land lying two

Trees are for sale at the Albany Nursery. They con¬ 
sist of the Multicaulis, Brussa, Chinese, that is, the product 
of Chinese seed, and the common white. The prices will

than the common, and the Chinese about as hardy; and the 
three kinds are believed to be equal, if not superior, to the 
Multicaulis, for silk; though it is proper to add, none of the 
mulberries that we have tried are propagated with so much 
facility, from buds and cuttings, as the multicaulis. The 
prices will be conformed to the average market price. tf

Urate and Poudrette are light substances, 
blown off the ground by high winds, if sowed on the surface'^ 
when the ground is not damp; therefore, it is considered best] 
to sow the grain and harrow the land once, and’than sow the 
manure in broadcast and cross harrow the land the 2d time. 
The difference of the season, between spring and autumn,; 
and the state of the atmosphere, are to be considered before) 
using either urate or poudrette; damp weather is always to; 
be preferred. Neither of them contain any seed of weeds ofj 
any description. An application of 35 bushels to the acre of 
urate or poudrette once in every three years is sufficient. ' 
Urate and poudrette may be sent to any part of the coun-; 
try in barrels or bags—barrels are to be preferred when it is

F OR SALE—A Splendid Country Seat in the 
Highlands, on the Hudson River. That beau- 
, tiful country residence, known by the name of the 
BEVERLY ESTATE, containing four hundred acres of land, 
about two hundred of which are fine level arable soil, of an 
excellent quality, in a good state of cultivation, and not sur¬ 
passed by any on the river for fertility; the remainder is fine 
and thrifty timber land. The situation is the most eligible on 
the Hudson, extending one mile and a half on the river, with 
a bold shore and convenient dock, nearly opposite West- 
Point, and within fifty miles of New-York. The prospect is 
extensive and diversified, reaching from St. Anthony’s Peak 
on the south, to the bay and city of Newburgh on the north. 
This estate can conveniently be divided into three farms, giv¬ 
ing an equal proportion of front on the river, and of arable 
and timber land to each. Almost every enclosure is supplied 
with living springs of the purest water. There is on said es¬ 
tate a plain house, (formerly the head-quarters of Gen. Ar¬ 
nold;) also out-houses necessary to carry on the business of 
the farm. The single fact that during the whole time the 
cholera raged throughout the state, not one case occurred 
within ten miles of this place, is sufficient to prove the unri- 
_ vailed salubrity of the situation. The facilities of intercourse 
I with the city, that can be reached in four hours, by means of 
| numerous steam-boats, are great, and daily increasing, both 
' as regards pleasure, and the convenience of a near market for 
produce of every description.
