MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
dried up, some water-bladders empty. Fine 
fellow ! ho has passed through the dropsy 
in a very unhealthy climate—‘••fallen among 
theives,” lain in bed with diseased compan¬ 
ions, and now bids fair to “ raiso up a large 
family.” This is a rare case; indeed few 
such cases occurred in any potato hospital 
whore I have practiced. 
But here wo havo a genuine caso of con¬ 
sumption. The pigment (or colouring sub¬ 
stance) has lost all its vitality; it is dead, 
and shows tho inner or outer skin, as a wa¬ 
fer shows between two pieces of glass. Tho 
bladders and air-colls are irregular in sizo 
and shape, and many of them are dried up; 
the potato cuts hard, and breaks before the 
knife like a water-melon rind. I am now 
through my second year. I expect but few 
that 1 have treated for the kidney disease 
will live until spring, but all that do survive 
I will plant, with the false heart, the hollow 
heart, and tho consumption, as above de¬ 
scribed, and in August or September the 
rot will show that 1 havo “ dono it.” 
Manure Cellars. 
Tins subject is attracting doservod atten¬ 
tion, and many inquiries are made about 
their construction and management. On 
the latter wo copy bolow from tho Country 
Gentleman: 
A great mistake is often committed in tbe 
management of manure cellars. Tho ma- 
nuro is permitted to accumulate unmixed, 
except with such small portions of straw, 
plaster, &c., as may bo used in sprinkling 
the stable floors, but which prove w holly in¬ 
sufficient to prevent tho rising of tho steam 
and odors, “like a gross fog Bcetian” through 
every crack and crevice into tho apartments 
above. Very perfect and tight floors will 
indeed exclude them, but will not preserve 
tho valuable portions of tho manure, like 
mixing tho whole mass into an inodorous 
compost. Plaster or gypsum, with water, 
contributes to retain the ammonia, and is 
useful on tho land to a certain extent; and 
pulverized charcoal is excellent for the same 
purpose. But for the common purposes 
of farmers, for using on a large scalo, noth¬ 
ing is equal to dried mould, truf, and swamp 
muck or peat. Enough of those materials 
should be carted into tho manure cellar, or 
under somo contiguous shelter, to form a 
mass at least equal to tho whole of tho ma¬ 
nure from tho stables. If woll dried by re¬ 
maining there a long time they will not on¬ 
ly act chemically in retaining tho ammonia 
of tho dung, but they will also act to a very 
great extent mechanically, in absorbing all 
tho liquid portions. They should bo ap¬ 
plied in thin successive layers as the manure 
is gradually deposited. Many farmers have 
a largo portion of their fences fixed so as 
not to bo moved, tho borders of which, after 
a timo, by escaping cultivation, become rich 
with vegetable matter. No better uso can 
be made of the turf in these fence borders 
than mixing into compost. Where peat ox- 
ists within convenient distanco, it may bo 
drawn to groat advantage during tho win¬ 
ter season. 
Contagiousness of Glanders. 
We find the following credited to the 
Farmer’s Journal: 
With tho view of shedding light upon tho 
important question of the contagiousness of 
glanders, we would submit the following de¬ 
ductions from facts brought forth by our 
own oxporionco. • 
1. That farcy and glanders, which con¬ 
stitute tho same disease, are propagablo 
through tho medium of stabling, and this 
wo believe to bo tho more usual way in 
which tho disease is communicated from 
horse to horse. 
2. That infected stabling may harbor and 
retain the infection for months, or oven 
years ; and though by thoroughly cleansing 
and making use of certain disinfecting means, 
tho contagion may probably bo destroyed, 
it would not perhaps bo wise to occupy such 
stables immediately after such supposed or 
alleged disinfection. 
4. That tho virus (or poison of glanders) 
may lie for months in a state of incubation 
in the horse’s constitution, beforo the disease 
breaks out. Wo have had tho most indu¬ 
bitable evidence of its lurking in one horse’s 
system for tho space of fifteen weeks. 
5. That when a stud or stable of horses 
becomes contaminated, tho diseaso often 
makes fearful ravages among them beforo 
it quits them; and it is only after a period 
of several months’ exemption from all dis¬ 
eases of tho kind that a cloan bill of health 
can be safely rendered.

ATTEND TO YOUR H0T-BED3. 
In tho Eastern and Middle States, tho 
weather is gonei'ally very unsettled during 
this month—sometimes dry, cold and win- 
tor-like—at others, cold and wet, with se¬ 
vere storms of snow, rain and hail, accom¬ 
panied with high winds. Now unless you 
that have them attend woll unto your hot¬ 
beds, your labor, thus far, in construction, 
will prove plantloss in season for transplant¬ 
ing. 
You should not suffer the snow that falls 
upon the hot-bod lights to remain there for 
any length of timo, for it will chill tho ten¬ 
der plants—or prior to this, tho germinat¬ 
ing seeds. 
You should by raising the glass covers let 
your bods have fresh air daily, if the exter¬ 
nal temperature will allow. Refresh them 
occasionally with water—on sunny days— 
and about mid-day. It may be necessary 
to cover tbeso beds somotimes with blankets 
or mats, or straw in order to protect them 
from tho inclemency of the weather. These 
should bo removed as soon as possible—for 
tho good of the germinating seeds and grow¬ 
ing plants. 
Somo construct hot-beds not only for 
propagating early plants, to bo transplant¬ 
ed into tho garden just so soon as the sea¬ 
son will allow, but for maturing early cu¬ 
cumbers and somo other vegetables for tho 
table. While few will deem it worth while 
to do the latter, many should do tho former. 
Because by so doing thoy can have fit for 
use, many varieties of garden vegetables, 
weeks earlier than if they wait for the sea¬ 
son without tho aid of hot-bed preparations 
for transplanting. 
A good kitchen garden should be the 
pride of every farmer. There is no one 
but what may have this luxury if he really 
desires it, and will seasonably prepare for 
it. Seek for the early varieties of garden 
seeds—such as have been tried and approv¬ 
ed—plant thorn just as oarlyas you think it 
will do, in well prepared soil—and with 
proper care and attention you will most as¬ 
suredly reap in duo time. 
It is timo to maturo your plans for your 
garden tho coming season if you havo not 
already dono so. Timo enough yet to make 
your hot-beds for propagating plants. Tho 
plan of constructing them has been given.

GIRDLED TREES-HOW TO SAVE THEM. 
Eds. Rural:— In No. 1G4 of your paper, 
Mr. Wright, of Brighton, asks how to save 
half a dozen apple trees badly barked by 
swine. The following plan has been tried 
with succoss. 
Take scions of last year’s growth, cut 
thorn of the right length and flatten the 
ends, and then raise tho bark of tho tree 
abovo and bolow the girdled part and insert 
tho scions, about two inches apart around 
tho tree. If near the ground, bank up with 
oartli; if too high for this, plaster with wax 
or clay and tie a sheet of coarso paper 
around to provent too groat oxposuro to the 
air.—R. N. Y., Maple Hill, JY. Y. 
GRAPE VINES.-PRUNING. 
If you havo not pruned your vinos, no 
timo is to bo lost. Solect somo cold day, 
when the ground is frozen, tho deeper tho 
bettor; at such a timo thoy will seldom 
bleed, but we have known the sap to run 
freely, when the weather was warm and the 
ground not frozen, in Febuary. If after 
pruning tho sap should run from the ond 
of the vine, sharpen tho ond and stick on a 
potato as largo as a hen’s egg, and it gen¬ 
erally stops it. Cultivators ditfer much as 
to the mode of pruning, each ono thinking 
his mode tho best. Wo prefer to cut off 
about half of tho last year’s growth, train 
the largor branches horizontally, and tbe 
smaller onos upright to a trellis proparod 
for tho purposo. 
If you wish to. propagate any by cuttings, 
savo the cuttings in tho same manner as di¬ 
rected for scions, cutting them into pieces 
of threo bud3 each, plant early in tho spring 
in an oblique position, covering two buds, 
and nearly up to the third bud; sprinkle 
somo saw-dust ovor tho ond to protoct it 
from tho sun. Wo advise, however, for 
those who wish to cultivate tho grape in a 
garden, to purchase of some nurseryman of 
reputation a woll rooted vine, of two or 
more yoars growth of choice variety, adapt¬ 
ed to our climate. And the Isabella is such 
an one, and a good grapo, and hardy. Hav¬ 
ing provided such a standard vino, you can 
easily incroase by layors, which wo consider 
hotter and,more safe, as cuttings do not 
generally do well. 
We hopo tho time is not far distant, when 
overy garden will bo furnished with tho 
vinos, in sufficient numbers to supply tho 
family. The vine can bo oasily cultivated 
as tho apple or poach, and occupy no more 
space, and in small gardens it may be train¬ 
ed to afonco, or side of a building, although 
a trellis is preferable.— Mich Farmer. 
It is hotter to sit down with honor, than 
to attend tho changes of an inconsistent

ROSIN OIL. 
During a recent visit at New York we ac¬ 
cepted the invitation of Messrs. Pond and 
Hitchcock, 56 Water street, to view their 
Oil manufactory at Brooklyn. Their works 
have been erected for making oil from rosin, 
a process very little known in thi3 country, 
chough sometime in uso in England. We 
are unable to give a description of the pro¬ 
cess, more than that it is a distillation by the 
agency of steam which ovolves an oil nearly 
colorless, puro and limpid, and not congeal¬ 
ed by cold. At tho same timo there is gath¬ 
ered what is known as “ the spirits,” and a 
refuse known as asphaltum. This latter 
product is used for painting ships’ bottoms, 
coarse hardware, out-buildings and fences, 
answering an cxcollent purposo. From an¬ 
other grade of tho refuse is manufactured 
a grease for wagons, machinery, and heavy 
bearings, which is recommended as being 
overy way suporior to tallow, lard or oil.— 
In England it has been used to great satis¬ 
faction on cars and locomotives, with boxes 
arranged to sorve as reservoirs, from which 
tho greaso is discharged as required by tbe 
heat of tho axles. Thus arranged a car 
could bo safely run from Albany to Buffalo 
without danger of being overheated. 
The spirits are used by somo persons in 
tho manufacture of a “ burning fluid” sold 
under the name of “ rosin oil,” which is, if 
possible, as wo aro assured by tho manufac¬ 
turers, more inflammable and unsafe than 
any of tho “ fluids” in general use. The 
rosin oil in its pure state might bo burned 
with safety, Iwt no lamp has yet been tested 
in which it can bo used on account of the 
black smoko arising from its burning. 
From tho rosin oil is made, by a mixture 
of puro sperm oil, a compound much in use 
as a lubricator in tho cotton and woolen 
mills and in machines, not only in England 
but to some extent in the United States. It 
has been pronounced by competent judges 
and engineers, for many purposes superior 
to puro sperm. The prepared oil has been 
used in preparing wool for manufacturing, 
and in tho best manufactories in the world 
is pronounced superior to any other oil 
used. Experiments in this State haveprovod 
that it can be successfully employed on 
wools from which all alkali has been remov¬ 
ed, and that when thus prepared the wool 
spins better than when the sperm is used. 
This is an important subject to manufactu¬ 
rers as this oil can bo purchased at about 
half tho price of good sperm. We have 
the statements hero given from authority 
which with us would bo unquestionable, and 
would like to hear further of well matured 
experiments testing its practical value. 
From the rosin oil is manufactured a 
“ tanner’s oil” which is used with good satis¬ 
faction. It has also been applied to many 
other uses not necessary to detail. Tho con¬ 
stantly diminishing crop of whales, and the 
consequent cost of tho best oils renders any 
roliablo substitute of tho utmost importance 
to tho community. t 
An improved car-seat has been invented 
by William M. Warren, of Watertown, Conn., 
who has takon measures to secure a patent. 
By this plan a person may adjust the seat 
in a moment of time, so as to make it con¬ 
venient sleeping on, merely by raising a 
hinged back which is attached to anothor 
fixed back—the car-seat being hung on 
pivots, so that it can bo more or less de¬ 
pressed as the movable back is raised. 
Tiie largest bell in tho spiro of St. Ste¬ 
phen’s Cathedral in Vienna, is composed of 
180 cannons, which were taken from the 
Turks when thoy were repulsed from the 
walls of tho city in 1683, and weighs 38,000 
pounds! 
SPRING MATTRESSES. 
The Spring Mattress is well known as an 
attempt by means of spiral springs to com¬ 
bine the advantages of a mattress with the 
luxurious, yielding softness and comfort of 
the feather bed. To sleep on feathers is 
unhealthy, from the fact that thoy are too 
warm and enervate the sleeper as a warm 
bath would do. At tho same timo there is 
something delicious in sinking into the 
downy mass of an old-fashioned bed, which 
tho modern sanitary ideas may condemn, 
but cannot banish from mind. Tho ordina¬ 
ry spring mattress is but a poor attempt to 
reproduce this luxury without its objection¬ 
able features, and indeed nothing can do it 
perfectly ; but we have examined an article 
of recent French invention, which is very 
ingenious, much superior to tho ordinary 
spring mattress. 
The springs are mado of copper wire, 
set upon iron slats which are fixed at tho 
bottom of an iron frame. At tho top the 
springs, instead of being connected together 
by wooden slats, rudely fastened, as is the 
caso in tho ordinary spring mattress, are 
united by smaller spirals, also of copper 
wiro, which cross tho mattress from side to 
side, and from ond to end, connecting tho 
several ranges of springs in each direction, 
and giving the most equal elasticity and 
yieldingness possible to every part. So 
firmly are the springs fastened that it is not 
necessary to envelop the mattress in a tick; 
it has no cover and offers no retreat for ver¬ 
min. A thin mattress of hair or moss upon 
it, is all that is nocessavy.— JY. F. Tribune 
THE PACIFIC RAILROAD. 
TnF. grandest idea of our time is the union 
of tho Atlanticand Pacific Oceans by a chain 
of Railroad stretching through the heart of 
our Republic. We speak of this as a work 
to be commenced, but in fact it is already 
half completed. From the Kennebec almost 
if not quite to tho Mississippi, there is al¬ 
ready a chain of Railroads, with parallels 
and spurs on every side; it will soon be ex¬ 
tended at this end to both Quebec and Hal¬ 
ifax; it will radiate to Lake Superior, to 
Charleston, S. C., to Nashville and St. 
Louis. There are about 2,000 miles be¬ 
tween thoAlississippi and the Pacific, which 
private enterprise cannot bo expected to 
build, without public aid; and these, when 
completed, will place every populous or 
considerable portion of tho Atlantic slope 
in direct communication by rail, with the 
Pacific, through the great highway between 
Europe on the ono side and Western Amer¬ 
ica, Australia, Japan, China and tho wealth 
of tho Indies on the other. Were the Rail¬ 
road completed, our finer Teas and Spices 
would reach us by way of tho Rocky Moun¬ 
tains. while tho Flour and Meat of our west¬ 
ern Prairies would (at least for the presont) 
find afar hotter market on the Pacific than 
Europe or New-England has ever proffered 
it. Tho building of our Pacific Railroad 
will exert a greater and more beneficent in¬ 
fluence on the progress and fortunes of the 
Race than all tho battles fought since the 
days of Nimrod. Its completion is the no¬ 
blest idea of our age, and, whoever may bo 
so fortunate as to realize it, and however 
serious the objections to some features of 
his plan, we shall not hesitate to express 
our gratitude to Asa Whitney for his labors 
and sacrifices in elucidating and commend¬ 
ing.— JY. Y. Tribune 
IMPROVED SPIKE MACHINE. 
Measures to secure a patent for an im¬ 
proved Spiko Machine, havo been taken by 
John R. Richardson, James Wes term an, and 
Ebenezer Wilder, of North Castle, Penn. 
In this machine the inventors employ an 
original mode of forming the point of tho 
spike, which thoy accomplish by means of 
rollers attached to slides, and working on 
adjustable beds, so that by placing tho beds 
in a more or less oblique relation to tho 
spike, a shorter or longer point is given to 
the latter by tbe pressure of tho roller.— 
To relieve the ends of the jaws from the 
pressure of the spike head, so that they can 
separate freely, it is proposed to give the 
header a return motion before the jaws are 
parted. There is also an efficient plan for 
holding the rod which forms the spiko ma¬ 
terial whilst tho requisite length is being cut 
off. Tho working parts of tho machine are 
all moved by a shaft carrying five cams, so 
placed as to properly time the several oper¬ 
ations of cutting, heading, and pointing.— 
Tho initial process is to pass a rod of iron 
through a loop, and upon an under die, 
whilst a gauge regulates tho length, when a 
knife cuts off the piece, tho holder and un¬ 
der die securely holding it in the meanwhile. 
The piece of iron is then pressed between 
the two jaws and tho upper die, which is in¬ 
tended to press upon the spike, and directly 
over the rollers which are now advanced un¬ 
til they come nearly or quite in contact.— 
The header is moved instantaneously with 
tho roller carriages until, having executed 
its duty, it recedes a little, and the spike 
being now completed is allowed to escape.— 
Scientific American. 
A freight train travelling at the rato of 
twenty-four miles an hour, requires on a 
level 546 2-8 yards to come to a stop, and 
79^ seconds of timo. A passenger train at 
the rate of 45 miles tho hour cannot bo 
brought up in less than 779 yards, but takes 
rather less time, only 68 seconds. Two 
trains, therefore, spproaching each other at 
a speed of twenty-four milos tho hour, will 
experience a collision, if the brakes are not 
brought to bear when they are about 1100 
yards, or noarly two-thirds of a mile asun¬ 
der. 
It would require several horses to draw 
all tho strings of a piano-forte to concert 
pitch, the strain upon them, when in per¬ 
fect tune, being about seven tons. 
WATER PROOF PAINTS. 
We suppose, that all paints are water 
proof, to a certain degree, for tho oil of 
which thoy are composed in part, repels 
water. If, however, a paint is required to 
turn or repel water merely, it should have 
a heavy body, as painters say, or in other 
words, there should bo substance cnongh to 
resist the water, when it comes in consider¬ 
able abundance. 
The Ohio Farmer, while speaking of this 
subject, recommends tar as a good substi¬ 
tute for linseed oil as an ingredient for water 
proof paint. In tho old colony, it used to 
1)0 a custom, (and perhaps it is so now,) to 
take tar, and add a certain proportion of 
rosin to it. Melt them in a kettle, and 
when the heat has made them quito thin, 
add a quantity of Spanish brown, and then, 
after stirring these ingredients intimately 
together, apply them while hot, by means 
of a “ pitch mop” to the roof's of buildings. 
Wo do not know tho proper proportions & of 
tho ingredients, in making this species of 
paint, but after it had hardened or dried, it 
not only prevented water from soaking into 
the shingles, but it preserved them for years. 
The writer in tho Ohio Farmer says, that 
common tar, or coal tar, may bo mado thin 
with spirits of turpentine. 
Let this bo used instead of linseed oil to 
form the body; add fine earthy matter, such 
as dried clay, or soft burnt bricks ground 
fine in a plaster mill. 
The soft shaly slates of different colors, 
also answer a good purpose when finely 
pulverised, to form the body of tho paint. 
I or the coarsest kind of work, dry fino 
sandy loam may be used as a body. 
Any of these earthy bodies, when mado 
sufficiently fine, can be used to good pur¬ 
poso in painting either with tho tar mixture 
or tho oil. Plastered walls on tbe outside 
of buildings, may bo thus rendered water 
proof and lasting, by using the abovo cheap 
paints, and after ono or two coats, it will 
take but a small quantity of oil paints with 
lead, to make a finish with a single coat of 
any desired color. Wherever a surface thus 
rendered impervious by this cheap means, 
is painted over with oil and lead, a single 
coat upon tho surface, instead of being ab¬ 
sorbed, will dry in a ihin tough film on the 
surface, and be more effective than threo 
coats of the same paint, put upon an unpre¬ 
pared surface, which like that of common 
woodwork absorbs the oil from the lead.— 
Maine Fanner. 
NEW USE OF MILK. 
A novel discovery has recently been made, 
which is likely to effect a revolution in tho 
milk trade. Inconsequence of the advance 
in tho price of olive oil, from £40 per ton to 
£70, the manufacturers of woollen cloths, 
who use this oil in large quantities, havo 
found out that necessity is the mother of in¬ 
vention. One of them in the neighborhood 
of Thurlstono, near Penistone, tried wheth¬ 
er milk mixed with oil would not answer 
the purpose. Tho experimeut exceeded his 
most sanguine expectations, the mixture 
being far better for the purpose than olive 
oil alone. Tho consequenco has been, that 
milk has advanced to Is. 44. per gallon in 
tho neighborhood of some of the woollen 
cloth mills, and cows aro being bought up 
in all directions. There was a brisk sale at 
Penistono market on Thursday, everything 
going off at excellent prices. —London JYews.
