GOOD TOOLS FOR BOYS AGAIN.

FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL NEWS.

FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL NEWS.

By the arrival of the steamer Cambria, we are in receipt of our foreign journals up to July 4th.

MARKETS. Ashes, Pots were in fair demand; Pearls dull of sale. Cotton rather looking up from the late slight depression. Stock on hand in Liverpool on the 1st of July, 757,000 bales against 1,038,000 same period last year. Flour and Meal dull at a decline. Beef and Pork a slight reduction in price. Lard without change. Cheese, the finer qualities much wanted. Naval Stores steady. Rice in good request. Tobacco no alteration. Wool had fallen 2d. per lb.

Money was plenty without change in the rates of discount.

The Weather was unusually fine, and considered highly favorable for an abundant harvest.

Passage of the Corn Bill.-This is one of the most important acts, as regards the United States, that has ever passed the British Parliament. It admits pork, beef, flour, and grain, nominally free, and will be the means of taking off annually a large surplus of our agricultural products; and what is of more importance, it will have the effect of binding for all time, two great nations closer and closer together in the arms of friendship. America and Great Britain are the same in language, and essentially the same in blood, and we trust now that the Oregon question is settled, nothing will ever arise to disturb the harmony of an intimate and greatly extended intercourse between them, To Destroy the Wheat Fly.-Take Orpiment (which can be procured at any druggist's), and, with lighted charcoal, burn the orpiment close to the wheat, any time after sunset, and before sunrise, at the time when the plant commences to flower-it should be repeated while the fly is found to exist. One ounce is sufficient for six acres.

of charming this noble animal which gained for his grandsire so much celebrity. We have had frequent opportunities lately of witnessing his performances, and can confidently vouch for his skill. He will take a wild unbroken colt from the bush, and in 24 hours make him so docile and obedient, without severe treatment, that the animal, at command, will lie down under him, feigning death, and remain until roused from the apparent stupor in which he has been thrown, by mesmeric passes and slight manipulation (as it appears to us) on the nervous system, by the slight touch of a rattan. The animal will then lick the face of the operator, put his tongue in his mouth, and whisper in his ear at a signal. Church will then lie down on the broad of his back, and place the animal's fore-foot on the pit of his stomach, also his hind-foot in his teeth, without danger of being pressed too hard. When the horse is relieved from the stupor in which he appears to have been thrown, he resists a repetition of the operation as long as he can, until subdued by the irresistible charm of this extraordinary man, he relapses into the mesmeric state, and is then passively obedient to his will.—Ibid.

How to Kill Rats.-A good mode of destroying rats and mice is to cut old corks in slices as thin as wafers, and to fry them in the frying-pan after it has been' used for frying any meat, but not burnt; place them about where the vermin appear, and all will be destroyed, for they eat them voraciously.-Ibid.

Supply of Indian Meal at Cork.-Such is and has been the extensive demand for this article throughout Ireland since the price was fixed at £10 per ton, that there have been issued from the government depôt at the Lee Mills, in this city, one thousand tons per week to the several relief committees who receive supplies; that is, ten thousand pounds worth of Indian Another, and perhaps equally efficacious Remedy.-meal per week is issued from Cork alone, to make up So soon as the fly is discovered, or so soon as the plant shows a disposition to open its flowerets, carry around the patch of wheat strong lights at night, and the darker the better-the flies will all rush to the fires and destroy themselves.

Both the above have been successfully tried in Canada, and no farmer should run the risk of losing his wheat when it can be saved at so little cost and trouble.-Quebec Gazette.

Summer Pruning-Standard apple, pear, plum, and cherry trees, require particular attention in regard to pruning, for several years after they are planted, otherwise their tops will get into confusion. Pruning, therefore, is essential in the first instance, even if you should find it impossible to regulate them every year after they get large. Having tied in every shoot of your pear and plum trees, and converted each branch into a sort of besom, you must forthwith loosen them; for you will find that much of the foliage is in the way of being blanched, and from such no good will result. Thin out the shoots that have been most shaded, and gradually shorten the other forerights till the spur-leaves at their bases are duly exposed to the light; but take care not to do this all at once. It is now a good time to shorten the shoots of dwarf standards. One-fourth of their length may be cut off. Shoots are useless, or worse than that, if their foliage cannot be well exposed to the light.-Gard. Chron.

for the deficiency caused by the failure in last year's potato crop, independently of the amount sold by importers, on private account, which, however, we have no opportunity at present of ascertaining, but which, we are assured, must be very considerable. A cargo of yellow meal, in prime condition, was last week offered to the relief committee at 30s. per quarter, or about £8 per ton, and from the extensive importations that have taken place, and the prospects of an early and abundant harvest, and the reduction in price of other bread stuffs, the price is expected to fall still lower.-European Times.

Concentrated Extract of Malt and Hops.-Few modern inventions are likely to prove a greater source of public benefit than this important patented article, which is now being extensively manufactured in London by a company established solely for that purpose. It is a thick, straw-colored, saccharine essence, and has only to be dissolved in hot-water, and fermented, to afford a fine home-brewed ale All the inconvenience, waste, loss of time, and uncertainty, attending the old method, when using the malt directly, for family brewing, is entirely avoided. By this compact and cleanly process, one or more butts of beer may be got ready for fermentation within half an hour. Those who know the medicinal virtues of malt and hops will, no doubt, avail themselves of this efficient means of obtaining a glass of fresh wort at pleasure; it is well said, that brewers are their own doctors, such is the efficacy of sweet wort to invigorate a declining constitution.-Ibid.

The Horse-charmer.-Doubtless, our readers must have heard of the extraordinary gift said to be possessed by an Irishman named Sullivan, who exercised a power over horses that no other horse-breaker in the United Watering. If you can loosen the surface of the Kingdom ever obtained, by means of whispering. He ground and soak it with water in the evening, the is, therefore, better known in the sporting circles by garden will be much benefited, but a slight sprinkthe sobriquet of "the whisperer." It may not be ling is of little service; the reason why gardeners known that the grandson of this extraordinary man object to watering in hot weather, is that the ground (George Church), who practises the art of horse- is apt to become baked; but a very little skill might breaking and training in Sidney, possesses the secret remedy that inconvenience.

EDITOR'S TABLE.

THE AMERICAN HERD BOOK.-By Lewis F. Allen. Owing to the late hour at which it came to hand, we had no other space left in our last than an advertising column, to notice this highly valuable pioneef work. As the author of it is a relative of ours, we shall leave it to others to speak of it as it more fully deserves. We made a mistake in our last, in stating that it contained the pedigrees of only 130 bulls and 240 cows; whereas, it records 200 of the former, and upwards of 400 of the latter. For various reasons, which we think absurd enough, a considerable number of breeders neglected to forward their pedigrees for publication. Several of them already regret their omission, and promise to furnish them for insertion in a second volume, which we have no doubt will soon be called for. A limited edition of the Herd Book has been issued; those in want of it, therefore, cannot be a moment too soon in applying for copies-a short time hence and it may be too late.

ously appeared in another journal. It is a rule with European Societies to reject all such matters as have been previously published, otherwise they might print ten thousand volumes a year, and call them their "Transactions." The question arises, is this matter bonâ fide the transactions of the State, or County Societies? Yes; then print it. No; then reject it. We should be glad to speak of other parts of the volume under review, but have not space to do so now. The Treasurer's Report shows $2,000 belonging to the Society, invested on bond and mortgage, and a cash balance on hand besides, of $546.21.

VOYAGES OF DISCOVERY AND RESEARCH WITHIN THE ARCTIC REGIONS.-By Sir John Barrow. With Maps. Pp. 359, 12mo. Price 50 cents. Harper & Brothers, 82 Cliff Street. This is another of those no less beautiful, than highly valuable, pocket volumes, such as we described in our May No., in noticing the "Journey to Ararat," that the Messrs. Harper are issuing from their teeming press. The present volume under notice, may be properly called a continuation of one by the same author, published some time HISTORY OF AMERICAN CATTLE.-With numerous since, giving an account of the discoveries and exengravings. By Lewis F. Allen. This work is en-ploits of the old mariners in the days of the Cabotas. tirely distinct from the Herd Book, and is designed to take the same place in America as Youatt's British Cattle does in England. This is nearly ready for the press, and will soon appear.

A BRIEF COMPEND OF AMERICAN HUSBANDRY.By Richard L. Allen. This work is designed as a manual for the Farmer and Planter. It is of the same size as the American edition of Stable Economy, and will be published this month. We think, when out, that it will prove the best work on American Agriculture yet issued from the press. But we shall not at tempt to praise it in advance. Those who have read the excellent articles contributed by Mr. R. L. Allen, for this journal, can judge whether he is sufficiently qualified for the task that he has imposed upon himself, to write a brief compend of American Husbandry.

This commences with the voyage of Captain Buchan in 1818, and ends with the discoveries of Mr. Simpson in 1839. It is a delicate task to abridge a number of large octavos to a moderate-sized duodecimo; but in this we think Sir John has eminently succeeded, preserving all that the public generally would care to know of the Arctic Regions. The perilous incidents and adventures of the several voyagers, are, in most instances throughout the narrative, given in the original words of the writers of the journals, which we think altogether better than for the author to have remodelled them in his own style.

EUROPEAN AGRICULTURE.-By Henry Colman. We are in receipt of Part VI. of this publication, and are glad to find the author leaves speculative and extraneous subjects to take care of themselves, throughout the number, and confines himself to practical mat ters of value. Paring and burning, draining, ditching, and warping, are the principal subjects of this number, all of which Mr. Colman has treated in a brief and clear manner.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE NEW YORK STATE AG. SOCIETY. We have at length been favored with a copy of this work. It is a goodly volume of 527 octavo pages, and, judging from a cursory perusal, it comes nearer what it should be than any of its predecessors.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS FOR THE YEAR 1845.-We have received this annual Document, and find it more voluminous than any of its predecessors-containing 1,376 octavo pages.

To point out these matters would require more space than we can devote to them; we therefore forbear, trusting that another year will show a great reform. We like to see agricultural information of a proper kind, furnished by the government to the people, and have no doubt of its being a legitimate object; but it is most unfair to plunder the agricultural journals in this way, and bring Uncle Sam into market as a competitor, with cabbaged goods. The expense of this document to the government, is enormous. One of the Senators in Congress, states it to be $114,000, out of which the printers, Messrs. Heiss & Ritchie, clear a net profit of $57,000!!! Though legalized by Congress, this is nothing less than a shameful and outrageous plundering of the people of the United States, and ought not to be tolerated any longer by the National Legislature. We perceive that the attention of members of Congress has lately become aroused to the flagrant waste of money in the public printing, and if this document has the effect of assisting to promote a reform, then its issue will at least have had one good effect upon the community. If the farmers would look closer to their servants at Washington, we should have no complaints to make in these matters; but they, good easy souls, seem to think little of what becomes of their hard earningsthe people's treasure-but go on, and sweat away, leaving the favored few to grow rich at their expense, while they themselves contrive to keep as ignorant as possible of their doings. In all future reports, we trust the Commissioner will be allowed to employ first-rate scientific and practical men, to assist in making them up.

CONNECTION OF THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES.-By Mary Somerville. Pp. 433. Price 50 cents. Harper & Brothers. Would that we could persuade that numerous class of ladies who spend so much of their precious time over exciting romances, to take up this work, written by one of the best of their own sex, and study it with the devotion it deserves. How it would ennoble their minds. What beauty, what wisdom, what goodness, it would teach them. It ranks high with European scholars, and we are not without our hopes that it may take the same stand with American.

THE SPORTSMAN'S LIBRARY; or Hints on the Hunter, Hunting, Hounds, Shooting, Game, Sporting, Dogs, Fishing, &c. By John Mills. Pp. 341. Price $1. Lea & Blanchard. The author of this work has devoted nearly his whole life to the study and practice of the subjects of which he treats. This has enabled

MISS BEECHER'S DOMESTIC RECEIPT BOOK.Designed as a Supplement to her Treatise on Domestic Economy. Pp. 293. Price 75 cents. Harper & Brothers. Miss Beecher says that she has aimed at the following objects in this work. First, to furnish an original collection of receipts which shall embrace a great variety of simple and well-cooked dishes, designed for every-day comfort and enjoyment. Second, to include in the collection only such receipts as have been tested by superior housekeepers, and warranted to be the best. Third, to express every receipt in language which is short, simple, and perspicuous. Fourth, to furnish such directions in regard to small dinner-parties and evening company as will enable any young housekeeper to perform her part, on such occasions, with ease, comfort, success, &c., &c. A fair friend at our elbow, one who at least ought to know, declares that Miss B. has carried out her designs well in this book, and that it is the very best work of the kind for American housewives, within her knowledge. Having little experience in household matters ourselves, we bow with deference to the above opinion, assuring our readers that they may depend upon it as likely to be more correct than anything we can give them.

A COMPLETE SYSTEM OF BOOK-KEEPING.-Simplified and adapted to the use of Farmers. Embracing a Set of Forms of Accounts for all the principal branches of business of the Farm. Compiled, arranged, and prepared, by T. C. Peters. Price $1. The author of this valuable work is himself a practical farmer, and knows well what is wanted for his brethren of the same occupation. We have seen nothing of the kind equal to this in its arrangement; and a single copy may last a large farmer for years, and enable him to keep his accounts with great ease and accuracy.

IMPORTATION OF CATTLE.-A Short-Horn cow from the herd of Mr. Bates, of Yorkshire, England, arrived here in the packet ship New York, on the 13th ult. She is a light roan, color, of fine form, and a great milker. Another cow from the same herd is to follow soon.

A DELIGHTFUL COUNTRY RESIDENCE-Bý reference to the advertisement of Messrs. Cook & Smith, it will be seen that the late residence and grounds of Mr. Shaw, at Astoria, are for sale. It is one of the most delightful we know of, enclosed by masses of the most beautiful hornbeam and evergreen hedges which we have seen in America. Indeed, they would do credit to England. The garden is very fine, and abounds with a profusion of the choicest kinds of fruit. The house and outbuildings are pretty and convenient.

REMARKS.-Ashes steady. Cotton in fair demand for export. Flour firm. Meal dull. Grain selling freely. Molasses considerable inquiry. Tar and Rosin scarce. Provisions unsettled

and dull. Sugar has slightly declined. Tallow little in market. Tobacco dull. Wool the same.

Money is abundant for all business purposes.
Stocks have undergone a slight improvement.

The Weather has been most extraordinary: cold rains suc ceeded by an excessively hot sun, giving us greater extremes of heat, cold, and wet, than we have any recollection of ever before experiencing. The crops have consequently suffered somewhat; but, on the whole, are tolerably well secured, and promise thus far much more than an average.

The Subscriber has been so often requested to add Garden Seeds to his assortment of Field Seeds, that he has at length consented to do so, and now offers for sale a great variety, grown by responsible persons, and put up expressly for him. They are fresh, and he confidently thinks may be relied upon. A. B. ALLEN, 187 Water Street, N: Y.

GUANO.

The Subscribers offer for sale, on very accommodating terms, the balance of the ship Shakspeare's cargo, the only direct importation into this port from Ichaboe. Much guano from other parts of Africa has been sold as Ichaboe, which on trial has produced unfavorable results. To prevent the loss of ammonia, this cargo has been put in air-tight casks. Apply to Feb. 6, 1846.
