To Protect Corn from Birds. __A Medford, N. J., correspondent of the Country Gentleman says: _Inotieed in the Cultivator a reecommenda- tion by a certain writer, to prevent the de- _predations of crows, blackbirds, &c., in the corntields, by strewing plenty of shelled corn in the fields likely to be troubled with them. Now I have tried a less expensive plan for _ several years, which with me has been ef- ~ feetual to save my corn frum crows, black- birds, and I believe it has some effect even It is only to stir a little coal tar in the seed corn, until it is all covered with a very thin coat of it; and then stir in some ashes, or plaster would perhaps be better, to prevent the corn from sticking. and make it a little less unpleasant to handle. I have heard persons say that they had known corn treated in this way, that did not sprout, but it never happened so with me. If Carolina tar is more easily obtained than the other, it may be used by first making the corn hot with a little boiling water poured into it, and after standing a minute or two, strain it off before stirring in the tar. I have used both kinds with perfect success. A good way of testing the corn prepared, is to throw a handful to the chickens; when, if a hun- "gry hen will swallow two or three grains be- fore she has time to notice the difference, it will answer. The process of dropping the grain is more tedious and unpleasant; but plenty of _ grease, soap and water, will bring the hands all right again. _ Another correspondent says: I will give you my method, which I have followed for the last fifteen years, and during that time I have not had a hill of corn either scratched or pulled up by the crows or dunghill fowls. Being ready to plant, I take a tea or twelve quart pail, and fill it half full of seed corn, -- and then has enough, you may be satisfied I then pour in enough warm water to completely cover the seed; then putin a spoonful or two of tar, and by stirring with a stick a few minutes, mix the tar with the seed, and then drain off the water, and mix in plaster until the pail is full. Corn. fixed in this way, no fowls or crows. will trouble: and I am persuaded that if persons would try this simple method, they would not wish to go back again to the old method of stick- ing up scareerows about their fields, or sow corn broadvast for feeding the crows. (Cae Sper ah "The Corn Grub. On many farms the common and destruc- 'tive corn grub is more numerous than on 'others; or more properly speaking, certain lands are more subjected to it than others. This pest sometimes destroys whole fields of corn, after it is up an inch or two, cutting it ff just above the ground, and dragging it partially into their holes. Many a one have _ we destroyed while at its work of destruction, and many a hill of corn have we replanted that had been entirely destroyed by it. Latterly, however, several remedies have "been found out by which the young plants may be protected against its depredations;: 'the most effectual of which, so far as our actual knowledge extends, is in applying _ plaster," to mix one part of fine salt with it, that is, to three parts of plaster add one of salt; apply about one table spoonful to each hill, taking care that the mixture does not come in contact with the young corn, or the salt will injure, if not destroy it. _ This has been found out to. be a sure pro- tection. Fields that were treated that way in alternate rows, proved, that while a grub was not to be found in the salted rows, the others were seriously affected by them. It is true there is some extra trouble at- _ tending it, as care must be taken in applying the mixture; yet what farmer has ever succeeded in raising any large crop on which extra care has not been bestowed? _. We advise our friends to try this remedy _ this present month--on a portion of their - fields, apply only to alternate rows, and let us know the result next month. It will then come fresh, and have due effect, either to _ approve or disapprove the remedy, so called. : It must be remembered, also, that the mixture of salt, will in addition, operate most beneficially on the crop as a manure, for it is believed that the same amount of money can scarcely be better appropriated than oc- easionally in a slight application of salt to farm lands.» Propagation of Fine Roses. It may not be known to many of our -geaders, that the fine roses of the China varieties may be readily propagated by Cut from the well ripened Some practice covering them with bell glass, put those of most experience do not consider the practice necessary. Ladies may also propagate any of the choice roses desired, by budding in the same manner as fruit trees are budded.

On this farm he em- ploys three hands all the year, at $132 per annum, each ; two men extra for six months, at $12 per month, and day hands, whose wages amount to about $50 a year; mak- ing in all for labor, a cost of $590 a year. Mr. Jackson, in the American Farmer, says :-- The sales of the farm the last year will not vary much-from fifty-three hundred dollars." oi Brest Freep ror Mitcu Cows.--For every cow boil half a bushel of turnips ; when boiled soft, add 4 quarts of bran, mix well and let it stand till cool. Give your cow a boiled mess like this once a day, and you will find your milk increase, and the milk does not taste of the turnips as it does when they are fedraw. By adding the bran while the turnips are hot, the bran swells, and you get the full good of it. This I have found to be the best and cheapest way to get the greatest quantity of good milk. -- Country Gentleman. ; Pracn Trer Woras.--A correspondent at Perry, Wyoming county, N. Y., says: * My father has peach and apple orchards in Indiana. To preserve the roots of the trees, he isin the habit of putting about half a bushel of the stems of tobacco around each tree. He lays the stems around the roots of the tree on the top of the ground, once in two years. The plan has never failed to | protect roots from allsnsects. ooo Will Ashes Dissolve Bones? A friend of ours, in whom we have entire confidence, informs us that seven years ago, he fell into the practice of reducing bones by means of ashes, by a sort of fortunate blun- der. Being at the head of a large family, in which fresh meat was largely consumed, he found that his Irish cook was in the habit of throwing all the bones out of the back win- dow. 'his drew such a bevy of dogs, with voices, bass, tenor, and treble, about the house, that it was impossible to sleep quiet- ly. In order to withdraw temptation from the dogs, and to preserve the bones for the use of his land, to be prepared in some way then unknown, he ordered.the bones to be carried and put into an old sugar hogshead, placed ina grove at a little distance from the house, and the ashes from the kitchen to be thrown on them, the hogshead to be uncov- ered that the rain might fall into it. When- ever an offensive smell arose from the bones, which was only in dry times, he found that As soon as the first hogshead was full, another was placed by it and filled, and then another. His intention was to use the ashes by the next spring; the next spring the bones would be somewhat softened, so much so that they might be pounded to pieces with asledge hammer on a flat stone. The ham- mer and stone were actually procured for the purpose. cept near the top of the hogshead last filled. Instead of the bones, were found soft sopo- naceous masses, retaining the form and size of the original bones, but none of their hard- ness, 'l'hey were easily cut through with a shovel and mixed with the ashes; and when so mixed and applied to corn at the rate of half a pint to the hill, they proved an excel- lent manure for corn. The experiment has been repeated every year since with good effect, not only producing great crops of corn, but manifestly leaving the ground in good order for a succeeding crop, with but very little yard manure, no more than a quarter of what would be regarded as a fair dress- ing, say from three to four loads to the acre. The land is a light loam, and has been un- der the plow incessantly for more than twen- ty years, bearing for the last eight years hoed crops every year, generally corn and potatoes alternately, but some of the time, corn two years in succession-- Country Gentleman.

Two SHarps.--An old man picked up half a dollar in the street. " Old man, that's mine," said a keen-looking rascal, " so hand it over." Did yours have a hole in it ? asked the old' man. " Yes," replied the other, smartly.--*< Then its not thine," mildly replied the old man: " thee must learn to be a little sharper next time, my boy." One evening, Clerk had been dipping rather too deeply in the convivial bowl, with a friend in Queen. Street, and on emerging into the open air, his intellect became in a considerable degree confused, and not being able to distinguish objects with any degree of certainty, he thought himself in a very fair way of losing the road to his own house in Picardy Place. In this perplexity, he espied some one coming to- wards him, whom he stopped with this query --" Pye ken whaur John Clerk bides ?" -" Whats the use 0? you speerin' that ques- tion?" said the man; youre John Clerk himself."

You can no more play with the girls without losing your heart, than you ean at the roulette without losing your money. As Dobbs very justly observes, the heartstrings of a woman--like the ten- drils of a vine--are always reaching out afier more to cling to. 'The consequence is tiat before you are going, you are gone, like a one-legged stove at a street auction. In the day of the patriarchs, a woman's conduct was the index of her heart. When, for example, the father of Rebecca asked if she would go with the servants of Isaac, she immediately replied, " I will go." Had she been a daughter of the nineteenth cen- tury, she would have answered, " Pshaw ! go with him! Why, Mr. Isaac must be sick! Go with him! Of course I won't !" And then--she would have gone with him. The other day an old lady rushed into the garden in search of her daaghter, upon being told that the young lady had gone there with a "rake." ---- nn 0 ee Constitution of the National Council.

The work in. size and appearance, to be at least equal to the Missionary Record or Christian Observer ; and as much superior to either in style and execution as the subscripticn list will warrant. DISTINCTIVE OBJECT : To enlarge the limits of Communion and Church-Membership, among Christians, to the greatest possible extent; and to circumscribe hose bounds to the exclusion, if possible, of all other characters, without otherwise disturbing the Membership of existing Churches; till acknow- ledged Christian Character shall constitute the only passport, at any time, and the perfect p: sspor at all times, to every Communion and Church | worthy of the Christian name; " that the world may believe" in Christ, even as he prayed. GENERAL OBJECTS: The promotion of Religious, Moral, Intellect- ual and social improvement, under the guidance of Divine Revelation, submitting every move and measure to the test of Gospel Principles. SUPPORTERS: The distinctive and general objects of the work are such, as to claim for it the patronage of all classes of men, excepting those wedded to other pre-requisites of Communion and Church-mem- bership, than acknowledged Christian Character; and here it is recorded with great pleasure that the encouragements tendered, thus far, are in strict accordance with the above genera! claims. ORIGIN AND PROGRESS: This movement has long been contemplated. For twenty years the subscriber has made the distinctive object of the GospeL Tripune his spe- cial study: examining carelully and personally the. denominational aspect of Religions Sccie- ties,--their reciprocal bearings, their mutual relations, and the nature of their combined in- fluence on the evangelization of the world. Lat- erly, his pesitiun as Publisher of the Scriprure Manvat, has probably afforded him the best pos- sible facilities for personally testing the strength his positions, and for the attainment of certain important information, but little of which he had previously been able to obtain. All may rest as- sured, however, that no undue advantage will ever be taken of the frankness and candor with which Christians of every name, as well as skep- tics of every class, have freely expressed their convictions in the presence ofithe Travelling Col- porteur; the capacity in which the Publisher is still extending his observations through Canada and the neighboring States, CO-LABORERS: Of distinguished worth and of well-khown literary ability, are already secured in the several sections of Canada, and in the States of the A- merican Union; and arrangements are now in progress, to obtain from living responsible writere in Britain, important assistance in the develupe- ment of the Trisune's Mission.

OND NPN Nad Nel Nf Nfl al Ne al a Nal, CALL FOR A NATIONAL EMIGRATION CONVENTION OF COLORED MEN, To be held in Cleveland, Ohio, on the 24th, 25th und 2th of August, 1854. Men anp Breruren :--The time has now fully come, when we, as. an oppressed people, should do something eflectively, and use these means desired end--to do something to meet the actual demands of the present and prospective necessi- lies of the rising generation ot our people in this country, 'To do this, we must occupy a position of entire equality, of unrestricted rights, composing in fact, an acknowledged necessary part of the ruling element of society in which we live. The policy necessary to the preservation of this elemen must be iz our favor, it ever we expect the enjoy- ment, freedum, sovereignty, and equality of rights anywhere. Hor this purpose, and to this end, then, all colored men in favor of emigration out of the United States, and opposed to the American Colonization sheme of leaving the Western Hemisphere, are requested to meet in CLEVE- LAND, OLfLIO, on LUESDAY, the 24th DAY of AUGUST, 1854, in a great NATIONAL CONVENTION, then and there, to consider and decide upon the great and important subject of emigration from the United States. No person will be admitted toa seat in the Convention, who would introduce the subject of emigration to the Kastern Hemisphere--either to Asia, Africa, or Kurope--as our object and de- termindlion is to consider our claims to the West Indies, Central and South America, and the Canadas. This resiriction has no reference to personal preference, or individual enterprise ; but to the great question of national claims to come betore the Convention. All persons coming to the Convention must bring credentials properly authenticated, or bring verbal assurance to the Committee on Creden- tials--appointed for the purpose--of their fidelity to the measures and objects set forth in this Call as the Convention is specifically by and for the friends of emigration, and NONE OTHERS-- and no opposition to them will be entertained. The question is not whether our condition can be bettered by emigration, but whether it can be made worse. If not, then, there is no part of the wide-spread universe, where our social and poli- tical condition are not better than here in our na- tive country, and nowhere in the world as' here proscribed on account of color, Weare triends, too, and ever will stand shoulder to shoulder by our brethren, and all our friends in all good measures adopted by them for the bettering of our condition in this country, and surrender no rights but with oar last breath ; but as the subject of emigration is of vital importance, and has ever been shunned by all delegated as- semblages of our people as heretofore met, we cannot longer delay, and will not be further baffled ; and deny the right of our most sanguine friend or dearest brother, to prevent an intelligent enqniry to, and the carrying out of these measures, when this can be done, to our entire advantage as we propose to show in Convention--as the West Indies, Central and South America--the majority of which are peupled by our brethren, or those identified with us in race, and what is more, destiny, on this continent--all stand with open arms and yearning hearts, importuning us in the name of suffering humanity to come--to make common cause, and share one common fate on the continent. The Convention will meet without fail, at the time fixed for assembling, as none but those fa- vorable to emigration are admissable ; therefore no other gathering may prevent it. The number of delegates will not be restricted--except in the town where the Convention may be held--and there the number will be decided by the Conven- ceed the other delegations. The time and piace fixed for holding the Con- vention are ample ; affording sufficient time, and a leisure season generally--and as Cleveland is now the centre of all directions--a good and fa- vorable opportunity to all who desire to attend.-- Therefore, it may reasonably be the greatest gathering of the colored people ever before assem- bled in a Convention in the United States, Colonizationists are advised, that no favors will be shown to them or their expatriating scheme, as we have no sympathy with the enemies of our race. All colored men, East, West, North and South, favorable to the measures. set forth in this Cal] will send in their names (post-paid) to M. R Delany, or Rev. Wm. Webb, Pitsburgh, Pa., that there may be arranged and attached to the Call, five names from each State. We must make an issue, create an event, and establish -a position for ourselves.
