EXPLANATIONS. 
 
 As several alterations have been made in the Astronomical C alca 
 la tions the present year, and the whole adapted to mean time, some 
 explanations may noi be improper. 
 
 Mean time is that shown by a well regulated clock, or time piece' 
 Apparent time is that shown by a correct sun-dial. The difTcrcn ce 
 between mfean and apparent time is called the, equation of time. The 
 equation of time depends upon two cause?, namely, — the obliquity 
 of the ecliptic to the equator, which causes an inequality in the 
 daily increments of the sun's right, ascension, and the unequal mo- 
 tion of the earth in its orbit while the motion on its axis is uniform. 
 Mean and apparent time coincide only four times in the year, viz. on 
 the 16th of April, the 15th of June, the Slst of August and 24th of 
 December. 
 
 It has been customary to give the rising and setting of the sun ac- 
 cording to apparent time, and in another column to ^ive the equation 
 of time. In that case it was necessary, in regulating a clock, or 
 time-piece by the rising or setting of the sun, to apply {he equation 
 to the time of rising, or setting, g'ven in the Almanac, and also the 
 amount of refraction, which, in our latitude, varies from two to four 
 minutes. But aa this matter is little understood by people generally, 
 Jind is attended by some trouble, no notice is usually taken of these 
 
 rrections, and in their endeavors to make their time pieces agree 
 with the sun, they find it necessary, if they run correctly, to alter 
 them almost every day. 
 
 In the following Calendar, the times of the sun's rising and setting,' 
 are the times shown by a correct time-niece when the sun is in the ho- 
 rizon. The column marked Sun South, are the times shown by a cor- 
 rect time-piece when the centre of the sun is on the meridian, or, in 
 other words, when it is noon by a correct noon mark, or dial. For 
 example, when it is noon by the sun on the first day of January, it 
 would be four minutes after twelve o'clock by the time-piece. Again, 
 when it is noon by the sun on the first day of November, it should be 
 only 44 minutes past eleven o'clock by the time-piece. The other 
 matters are so plain as to need no explanation.

 ' " BLACK SEA SPRING WHEAT.^ •■ • 
 
 Severar years since, t Was fortunate in rcceivirig, (hy 
 the kindness of my brother, Capt Stephen Williams,) some 
 su|>erior seed wheat, from Smyrna, grown on the abundant 
 bonlera of the Black Sea. After the first year, this^ kind of 
 wheal lias been unparallelled in its value,- so far as I have 
 been' made acquainted. Three yehrs ago I harvested 112 
 bushels, grown on a little over three acres, one of which pro- 
 duced over 50 bushelsj fof which I received the Socieiy's 
 gratuity of $20. On ainother field, of ahout one acre I ob- 
 tained about twenty-five bushels by (he following mod^ of 
 culture. EiBuiy in the f^tll, after the fiekl was well covered 
 vvith a second growth of clover and other grasses, the svVa r d 
 vva» turne-d over so as to resemble the clapboarding of a 
 house. In the spring following, so floon as the giound was 
 sufficiently dry, a light plonghlng waS given across the fur- 
 rdtvs, so as not to disturb the- furrowMice, — the field was 
 then sowed and harrowed, it will be seen that the ex}>ense 
 attending this mod&of culture was trifling, compared with 
 the income: The land likewise being left in excellent order 
 for a following crop of com or potatoes, by ploughing in the 
 spring through the first furrowslice or rotted Sward. I 
 deem it not out of place here to observe that this field, six 
 years previous had been stocked down to grass with a- previ-

 0U3 dressing of eigUte^ii oords manure to the acve. The yras*^ 
 cfops Iwwl probahly averaged two tons to the acre, of the best! 
 of hay, (clover, herds graw? and red top.) I mention this toi 
 f«;ho\v that tlie farmernol* this country are too ajpt to tili moi0 
 land than they can manure PROfiTABLT. '» •'^' " '^ • *'»' 
 
 The Smyrna or Black Sea Wheat appear^ to powiess prop-' 
 erties superior to all other kinds which have con^ie within myl 
 obsen^aition; these qualities are strength of straw, themby 
 bearing better the peltings of our New-England storms: the 
 kernel large and plump, with large yield on rich land, weigh- 
 ing 12 lbs. per bushel — and more in bushels on poor lani^ 
 than spring lye. 
 
 Last year my crop of wheat vvas about 80 bushels; about 
 one half was disposed of for sowing at $2,50 per bushel. 
 Thirty-five of these bushels were grown on less than an acre, 
 which also received a gratuity of $20. What the product 
 vvHl be from the sowings of this year I am unable to statie, — • 
 not any of it having been threshed. I will state that my own 
 field (being in very rich, tilth,) is not so well kemelied as last 
 year. The reason for this may be found in its too rapid 
 growth for about twelve successive days, previous to the f(»> 
 mation of the berry or kernel, followed by successive an(i 
 deluging showers, which has often bftaten the crop nearl)( 
 down. On harvesting the wheat the kernel is more piump 
 than was expected during the four weeks previous to etittingj 
 the crop will not much exceed 30 bushels to the acre; with 
 such a season as the last, it would probably have been ovei^ 
 fifty bushels. 
 
 In giving the above facts, my aim has been to est£tbMsh in| 
 the minds of the e^-icultural community in this section ofoui^ 
 countrj'', what is so strongly impressed on my own, viz. that 
 in, most of the New-England States, the husbandman can 
 take a greater (Mrofit from his acre?, in a wheat cr(^, than in 
 a like number of acres in any other grain. There will, doubt-' 
 less be sotitaFy exceptions, especially where the power ca^ 
 his seed i|ito ^e ground with mucth iodih and little work»^ ^ 
 it will be recollected that wheat demands a fine tiltli, with a 
 previous nullification of the authority of certmn interlopeis, 
 icommonlyc^alled weeds.

 My method in preparing scctl wUuat fur sowing, is to mix 
 a sulJiciency of thick white wasli, made from gootl lime to 
 coat over every kernel, Hay one quart to a hiwliel of seed : ley 
 from wood ashc^, will answer ns well, (Except the sowing 
 cannot b<? performed "^ evenly. I have never been troubled 
 with smut on a crop I. .ti prepared. 
 
 If the farmer can procure twenty bushels of good wood 
 ashes for every acre of wheat, to be sown on the wheal 
 plants when two inches out of the ground, he will be amply 
 renumerated.

 AMOUNT OF FODDER THAT CAN BE RAISED 
 
 ON AN ACRE. 
 
 As a genera] rule in this pai't of the country, our farmers* 
 are satisfied if they obtain a ton of hay from an acre ot land. 
 This, however, is far from being the full amoimt wiiich an 
 acre is capable of producing, even of hay ; and if planted ot' 
 some other kind of vegetable, it hardly begins to be what 
 can be obtained from the same surface. j 
 
 Many farmers have grown as much as fifty tons of Ruta 
 Baga from an acre. This, however may be considered an 
 extra crop — say half as much for a medium crop — that is, 
 25 tons, which will amount to about 800 bushels. Cattle 
 like such food in the winter exceedingly, — it supplies the 
 want of green grass and gi^een herbage. It is lieavy, dis- 
 tends the stomach, and keeps them in good health, and saves 
 a great deal of hay: and yet, comparatively few farmers think 
 of these things, or enter into the business with any kind ofl 
 system which is based upon calculation. 
 
 There is another plant, which, although not t^o nutriliouh 
 as the ruta baga, is nevertheless eaten witli great avidity by 
 cattle in the winter season, and which afford a large amount! 
 per acre. It is the Cabbage. These arc easily raised, P.nd

 according to the Editor of tho Baltimore Farmer and Gar' 
 dener, will yield, allowing 10,000 lo stand upon the acre, 
 about FORTY TONS of foddor. Notvvithstand tin? chance of 
 obtaining this amount of fodder from a single acre— a man 
 would be called crazy should he cultivate an acre of cabba- 
 ges, however well he might do it. 
 
 The common English or flat turnip, which is cultivated so 
 extensive in Europe, has received but little attention with us. 
 It is true every one sows a small patch or two. The cow- 
 yard is oftentimes ploughed up and sowed down to them, or 
 a comer of the garden — or some piece in the corn-field, but 
 few men think of putting in an acre. An acre in England 
 often yields 15 tons of turnips, and this amount would be 
 equivalent, in nutritive matter, according to the analysis of 
 Van Timer, to more than three tons of thfc best hay. 
 
 Many other crops of the kind might be cultivated exclu- 
 sively for cattle food which would yield more than treble the 
 amoimt that could te obtained in the shape of hay, and 
 which would be much more grateful to the cattle. — Maine 
 Farmer. 
 
 For fall feed, the cauli-flower Broccoli will yeld more 
 to the acre than any cabbage we ever saw."— Vt. Farmer. 
 
 ECONOMY OF FODDER. 
 
 Next let us compare the value of hay with other crops for 
 the feeding of stock. An acre of 'lay yields one ton and a 
 half of vegetable food, an acre of rairots or Sweedish tur- 
 nips will yield from ten to tvverity tons, say fifteen tons to the 
 acre, which is by no nnsans an exaggerated estimate. Creps 
 at the rate of 2.o tons of carrots and 22 of Swedish turnips 
 have been raised among us, and nmch larger than these are 
 upon record. 
 
 By an experiment it has been ascertained that three work- 
 ing horses fifteen and a half hands high, consumed at the rate 
 of two himdred and twenty-four pounds of hay per week, or 
 five tons one thousand five himdred and forty-eight pounds 
 f)f hay per year, besides twelve gallons of oats each per 
 week, or seventy-eight bushels 4>y the year. An unworked 
 horse consumed at the rate of four and one quarter tons of

 nnaintain hisliorse upon the prmluce of half an acre of car 
 rots, which can be cultivated at an expensi? not i^atly ex 
 ceeiling the expense of half an acre of potatoes; or upon 
 half an acre of ruta bagfl, which can be raised as a secont" 
 crop at less expense than potatoes ; or, on the other hand, 
 upon the produce of six acres in hay and grain, for t-ix acres* 
 will hardly do more than to yield nearly six tons of hay and 
 78 bushels of oats* The same economy might as success 
 fully Ik) introduced into the feeding of our neat cattle. I have 
 known a yoke of oxen engaged in the ordinary labor of a 
 farm, to be kept three months in winter in goo(J working con 
 dition, when fed wholly upon a liberal supply of ruta baga 
 and the coarsest fodder. But it has been ascertained by ac- 
 curate measurement, that an unworked ox put on good old 
 hay consumed at the rate of 33 lbs. per day, or 231 lbs per 
 week, which is upwards of six tons per year of 2,000 lbs. 
 per ton. There must then be a great saving between feed- 
 ing in the way referred to, or upon English hay ; and English 
 hay alone, in any quantity, without grain or vegetables, is not 
 sufficient for any hard working animal. — Colman. 
 
 ""• SEPTEMBER. 
 
 A correctly calculating cultivator will make even his hogs 
 labor for a livelihood. This may be done by throwing into' 
 their pens potatoe-topsj weeds, brakes, turflbam, &c. which 
 these capital workmen will manufacture into manure of the 
 first quality. Attend to the barn-yard, and see that it has a 
 proper shape for ft manure manufactory, as well as other ac- 
 commodations, ailapted to its various uses. You may as 
 well have a hole in your pocket, foi* the express purpose of 
 losing your money, as a drain to lead away the wash of your 
 
 '

 lann yard. True it may hv spread over your grass ground, 
 and 1)0 a source of simie fertility to your premises, Uut the 
 chance is that inotit of it will Ix^ lost in a highway, or neigh- 
 boring stream. 
 
 Sliil', liard, cloggy land intended to be tilled, should be 
 ploughed in autumn. Fall ploughing saves time and labor 
 in the spring, when cattle are weak, and the hurry of the 
 work peculiar to that season presses on tlie cultivator. A 
 ight, sandy soil, however, should not be distur^d by fall 
 ploughing, but lie to consolidate through tlio winter. 
 
 Do not feed hogs with hard grain, without grinding and 
 boiling it. The grain will go much farther by being cooked, 
 and if a due degree of fermentation bo added, so much the 
 better. .,. 
 
 FLOURING WHEAT. 
 
 Mr Elijah Wood, in a communication in the Maine 
 Farmer, recommends the mixing of a small quantity of corn 
 with wheat when it is ground. He says: "When we have 
 raised the wheat, we ought to be able to make the Ijest of 
 tlic article it is capable of, and I hope your readers will par- 
 don me if I relate a few facts and give some reasons why 
 this business should be better attended to, if we wish to com- 
 pete with other wheat growing countries. It seems to be 
 necessary to keep the mill stones apart by the hardest corn, 
 to get either fine flour or the greatest quantity. I once car 
 ried to the mill in Winthrop, one and a half bushels, and 
 paid tlic miller, Mr Stanley, for grinding it, instead of giving 
 him the toll as usual. 
 
 Afler the wheat had passed through the cleanser, I scat 
 teren in three quarts of corn as evenly as I could, and weigh- 
 ed tlie flour it made. It was allowed by all to be finer and 
 lighter than that made from the same wheat without the 
 corn. 
 
 It yielded 40 1-3 lbs. to the bushel. Four bushels would 
 have made 1 96 lbs. of flour and a fraction over, which would 
 of course make a fraction over a barrel. 
 
 Mr Sanborn of Wales stood by. He had brought some 
 very good wheat to mill, and he put in two quarts of com to

 Try it hrot(i«?r tak*iniT8, nnd my word tor it you will never 
 afrind, or mthor Jlrti out wticat, as you have done, and give 
 the rc»i(hio to tho hogs, <aliing it wheat bran, when there is 
 nt least ten pounds of flour in it. I am told that at the South 
 it is always done, and may wc not expect that one fourth at 
 leant of Com is put in, and then is really better than when 
 none id put in. 
 
 I had in my bushel and a half, fiihc poundR and three 
 fourths of eofarse or second sort, w) that in fact I had more 
 than 50 pounds of eatable flour. My wheat was very diy 
 if it had l)cen for a short tiine placed over some steam, ^o as to 
 moisten it a little, the hull would have been less cut mil 
 thejflour would have l)cen better. Thip I am told is sc 
 times practised at some flour mills. Will any farmf i '.

 iESTRIS OVIS, OR SHEEP Fl ' 
 The month of August is a proper tinie to " ?scrve sheep 
 from the above fly, which causes worms in tneir heads. It 
 may be done by keeping the noses of the sheep constantly 
 smirohed with tar from ti»e middle of A^'gust till the latter 
 part of Septeml)er, In order to accomplish this, it ha;^ been 
 recommended to mix a Httle fine salt with tar, and place it 
 under cover, where the sheep can have access to it, and they 
 will keep their noses sufliciently smircheil with tar to prevent 
 the insect from attacking them.' «" "^ • - :: 
 
 For the Jvifclii^ff. 
 
 Indian Puddinc . — Indian Pudding is good baked. Scald, 
 a (fuart of milk (skimmed milk will do,) and stir in seven 
 table spoonfuls of sifted Indian meal, a teaspoonful of salt, a 
 tea cupful of molasses, and a great spoonful of vinegar, or 
 aifted cinnamon, bake three or lour hours. Il' you want 
 whey, you must be sure and pour in a little Cold miik, after 
 it is mixed.

 Boiled Indian Pudding. — Indian Pudding sliould 
 boiled four or five hours. Sifted indian meal and warm 
 milk should be stirred togethei' pretty stiff. A little salt, and 
 two or three great spoonfuls of molasses, added; a spoonful' 
 of gir~er if you like that spice. 
 
 Flour Pudding. — Beat up five or six eggs, with a quart^ 
 of milk and a little salt, v/ith flour enough to make it just^ 
 thick enough to pour witliout difficulty. Boil about tliree 
 quarters of an hour. 
 
 Bread Pudding. — A nice piidding may be made of bits 
 of bread. They should be crumbled and soaked in milk 
 over night. In the morning, beat up tliree Qggs with it, aild 
 a little salt, tie it «p in a bag, or in a pan that will exclude 
 every drop of water, and boil it a litle more than an hour. 
 
 Rennet Pudding. — If your husband brings home com- 
 pany when unprepared, rennet pudding may be made at five 
 minute's notice ; provided you keep a piece of rennet pre- 
 pared soaking in a quart bottle of wine. One glass of this 
 wine to a quart of milk, will make a sort of C/old custard. 
 Sweetened witii white sugar, and spiced with nutmeg, it is 
 very gooil. It should be eaten immediately, in a few hours 
 it begins to curdle. 
 
 Custard Pudding. — Custard puddings sufficiently good 
 for (*)mmon use can be made with five eggs to a quart of 
 milk, sweetened with brown sugar, and spiced with cinna- 
 mon or nutmeg, and very little salt. It is well to boil your 
 milk and set it away till it gets cold. Bake fifteen or twenty 
 minutes. 
 
 Rice Pudding. — If you want a common rice pudding to 
 retain its flavor, do not soak it, or put it to boil when the wa- 
 ter is cold. Wash it, tie it in a bag, leave plenty of room for 
 it to swell, throw it in when the water boils, and let it boil an 
 hour and a half. 
 
 Apple Pudding. — ^A plain, unexpensive apple pudding 
 may be made by rolling out a bit of common pie-crust and fill- 
 ing it fiill of quarteit'd apples, tied up in a bag and boiled an 
 hour and a half; if the apples are sweet, it will take two 
 hour»i 
 
 Plumb Pudding. — Spread slices of sweet, light bread 
 
 plentifully with butter ; on each side of the bread a-

 bundautly, raisins, or currants nicely prepared ; wlien they 
 are heaped up in a disli, cover tliem with milk, eggs, sugar 
 and spice, well beat uj), and prepared as for custards. Let 
 tt bake about an hour. 
 
 Pudding Sauce. — One sauce answers for common use for 
 all sorts of puddings. Flour and water stirred into boiling wa 
 ter, sweetened to your taste ; a great spoon-ful of rosewater 
 H you have it ; butter half as big as a hen's egg. Some pre 
 ler a little vinegar with the sauce. 
 
 Mince Pies. — Two pounds of well boiled beef, after it is 
 chopped ; three quarters of a pound of suet ; one pound and 
 a quarter of sugar ; three pounds of apples; two pounds of 
 raisins or cun-ants ; a little salt. Make it quite moist with 
 new cider. 
 
 Pumpkin and Squash Pies. — Far conmion use, three 
 eggs do very well to a quart of milk. Stir in the stewed 
 pumpkin, till it is as thick as you can stir it round rapidly and 
 easily. One egg to a quart o( milk nakes verj' decent pies. 
 Sweeten to suit the palate. Two tea-spoonsfull of sifted 
 cinnamon, one great spoonful of ginger. The outside of a 
 lemon grated in it is nice. The more eggs the better. Bake 
 from forty to filly minutes. 
 
 Apple Pies. — Stew the apples verj-- little indeed, jnst suf- 
 ficient to make them tender. Put in sugar to suit the taste ; 
 ittle salt, and a small piece of butter in each pie.

 Custard Pies. — Six eggs to a quart of miht. The milk 
 ouldbe boiled and cooled before it is used j and bits of stick 
 Ci^amon, and lemon peel should be boiled in it. Sweeten 
 sugar to your taste ; a verry little sprinkling of salt ihi 
 roves the flavpr. Grate in nutmeg. Bake iij a deep plate, a- 
 out twenty minutes. Do no^ pour them inV> the plates until 
 ready to set into the oven, otherwise the crust will be wet and 
 heavy. 
 
 Rhubarb Pies. — Rhubarb stalks, is the earliest ingredient 
 for pies which the spring ,oflbi"8. The skiiisHould be careful- 
 ly stripped and the stock cut into small bits, and stewod very 
 tender. Seasoned like apple or currant pies. MucK suisjar 
 is required.

 Pie Crust — To half a pound use a quarter of a pound ofi 
 butter. Take out about one fourtli of the flour you intend to 
 use, and lay it aside. Into the remainder of the flouf nA^^ 
 butter tlioroughly with yom- hands, until it is so sholllliitil ; j 
 handful of it, clasped tight, will remain in a ball, wl^ov^ 
 falling, to pieces. Then wet with cold water, roll it out on^^ft'*' 
 board, nib over, the surface with flour, stick little lumps 
 butter, and roll the dough all up ; flour the paste, and ftour th 
 folling-pin ; repeat this process till the butter is all used. Al 
 ways roll from you. Pie crust should be made as cold as pos- 
 sible, and set in a cool place ; but he careful it does not 
 freeae. Do not use more flour than is necessary in rolling 
 It should not be rolled out more than three times. If rolled 
 too much it will not be flaky. 
 
 Tba Cake. — There is a kind of tea cake still cheaper. 
 Three cups of sugar, one cup of butter, one cup of milk, three 
 eggs, a spoonAil of dissolved saleratus, and four cups of flour 
 well beat up. If it is too stiff" it will not stir easily, add a little 
 more milk. '^ '■'•'■;■ ■"' ^' ■ -' • . ^ • -*■"-'- 
 
 Sponge^Cake.— ^The nicest way to make sponge ca^e, or 
 diet bread, is the weight of six eggs in sugar, the weight of 
 four eggs in flour, a little rose-water. The whites and yolks 
 should be beaten thoroughly and separately.^ The eggs and 
 »3ugar should be well beaten togetlier ; but after the flour is 
 sprinkled, it should not be stirred a moment longer th^M^ ne- 
 cessary to mix it well ; it should be poured into the ^K, and 
 got into the oven with all possible exj^edition. Bake twenty 
 minuter. 
 
 Wedding Cake. — Four Pounds of flour, three poum 
 butte», three pounds of sugar, four pounds of currants 
 pounds of raisins, twenty-four eggs, half a pint of brani 
 lemon-brandy, one ounc© of mace, and three nutmegs 
 little molasses makes it^darfc colored, which is desirable.; — : 
 Half fi pound of citron improves it. Bake ttvo hours hiid 
 half, or three hours. To make frosting for wedding cake, heat 
 the whites of eggs to an entire froth, and to each egg add five 
 teaspoonsful of sifted loaf sugar, gradually ; beat it a grea^ 
 while* Put it on v/lien Ae cake is hot or cold, as most con- 
 venient.
