It is on a plan much approved in Vermont, by persons who make the best quality of this article. The arch of brick work is five feet six inches broad, and nine feet long to the back of the chimney. In front of this arch, as seen in the figure, are two sheet iron pans, each four feet long and twenty-one ins. wide. Directly in the rear of each of these pans, is a caldron, connected with the former by means of a tube and stop cock. In the rear of the whole is a large reservoir or trough, capable of holding nearly eight barrels, being connected with the kettles in the same mannr as the kettles with 'the pans; and in the rear of this is another of the same dimensions, in both of which the sap is deposited. During the process of making sugar, a constant stream is kept running from the reservoir into the kettles, APPARATUS. where the sap becomes heated, and is then passed into the pans by a constant stream, and is there reduced to a capacity for sugaring. The syrup is then removed and sugared in another department. Care should be taken in setting the pans and kettles, to save all the heat. The space under the pans is as wide, and no wider, than the bottom. At the farther end the fine rises six inches, in order to throw the heat against the bottom of the pans. About four inches above the bottom of this elevated flue, the bottoms of the kettles are set, the arch being headed up to the kettle, making the flue about ten inches deep; then from the rear, the flue passes in a hori zontal direction quite round the kettle, and leads into the chimney. It will be found expedient to keep the flues separate, some five or six feet in the chimney. Sugar made by the above process, is much superior to that made in the ordinary way, and is worth more in market. There are many farmers in Vermont who make one thousand pounds and upwards in a season, which readily sells at ten cents per pound by the quantity. 1 Tuesday Sun's declina'n S. 4 30 11 2 Wednesday 4 53 18 ... 5 Saturday.. 6 2 4 E Moon's Place.

By changing the apparatus for dropping the seed, it can be deposited at distances varying from three inches to six feet. It may be used by hand, or by being made of larger size and greater strength, may be drawn by a horse. For gardening purposes it is commonly operated by hand, and for field operations by horse-power. It is in great requisition for planting broomcorn and beans, and is used to a great extent in planting Indian corn. Some of the heaviest crops of the latter which have been raised in this State for the last two or three years, have been planted by this machine. A man and boy, with a horse, can plant from twelve to fifteen acres in a day. The amount which can be planted in a given time, depends on the width of the rows.

It may also be used for turning grindstones. The accompanying figure repre sents one of the best improved now in use. It is an endless platform formed upon two India rubber straps, connected by rivets to light cross pieces of wood. It is easily gradu. ated to the weight of the dog, by raising or lowering one end of the platform. Some prefer sheep to dogs for this purpose. The machine is sold at the agricultural warehouses, for $12.50. For large dairies, a single horse-power will be found most efficient. Such a power may be used for other purposes. An ingenious farmer in western New-York has construct ed a two-horse-power with his own hands, without cogwheels, but merely with band-wheels, which churns, turns grindstone, saws wood, slits pickets for fence, and HARROWING WHEAT IN SPRING.-Myron Adams, of East Bloomfield, N.Y., has for many years harrowed over the whole of his wheat fields every spring, pulverizing the crust and greatly benefiting the crop. If the ground is to be seeded with clover, it is harrowed in at this time. The whole amount torn up by the roots has been found by examination not to exceed the amount of a bushel on ten acres. The wheat looks rather unpromising when thus dusted over with earth, but the first shower washes it off and leaves it vigorous. 1 Tuesday 23 Sun's declina'n N. 8 19 2 Wednesday 23 4 10 3 Thursday 22 59 36 m E Monday ....

A shock, thus made, with the sheaves compactly, evenly, and neatly placed, will withstand perfectly a week's rain. A more rapid mode, and nearly or quite as good, is shown by fig. 2, and consists, 無盒 allows the farmer more time. Now, when cut partly green, it must stand a few days to mature, before drawn into the barn. Various sorts of water-proof shocks have been tried. The common mode of setting the sheaves in simple double rows, affords no protection from long and heavy rains. Covering these with two nearly horizontal sheaves, with heads meeting in the middle, as often done, is not much better. A very good way is represented in the annexed figure, (fig. 1.) This shock is first, of the six round, compact sheaves, which are then covered with two others, broken at the middle and laid on in the form of a cross, spreading out the ends so as to form a perfeet shield from storms.
