SEPTEMBER. A correctly calculating
cullivator will make his hogs labor for q
livelihood. This may be done by throw.
ing into their pens potatoe-tops, brakes,
turf loan &c. which these capital workmen
will manufacture into manure Of the first
quality. You cannot sow winter rye too
early in September. if it be sowed early
its roots will obtain such hold OF the soil
before winter, that they will not be liable
to be thrown out, and killed by frost. 1t
may be sowed early to great advantage in
order to yield green food for cattle and
sheep, particularly the latter in the spring.
Winter wheat. likewise cannot be sowed
too early in September. Attend to the barn
yard, and see that it has a proper shape
for manure mandatory. as well as other
accommodations, adapted to its various
uses. You may as we'll have mole in
your pocket, for the express purpose of
losing your money, as drain to lead away
the wash Of your farm yard. True it may
be spread over your grass ground, and be
a source Of some fertility to your premises,
but the chance is that most of it will be lost
in highway, or neighboring stream.
Stiff, hard, cloggy land intended to be
titled 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 the cullivator. A light sandy
soil, however should not be disturbed by
fall ploughing, but lie to settle and CONSOLE
date through the winter. Select your corn
intended for planting next season from the
field, culling fine, fair. sound ears from
such stocks as produce two or more ears
taking the best Of the bunch. You vii
consider we'll which is the best method o
harvesting corn, and adopt one of TIT
met ods mentioned by Judge Buel. If tn,

For the two shonts, whose weights to-
getber made 173 pounds, seven pounds Of
good Indian corn meal, by measure ten pints,
were made into good mnsh. or hastvpudding,
g. divided between them for every "a hours.
Tha, is,these two had allowed them exactly
half the weight of meal which the others
had of raw corn. The seven pounds Of
meal were daily mixed with scaldng water
and then well boiled the whole process of
cooking was done on an average in 2
hours. They were all fed twice day.
and at The same time. The evening feed
of the shoats, fed on mush. was generally
warm--the morning feed having stood oil
night, was always cold. The seven pounds
or ten pnts ofmcal, when cooked, weighed
an average Of 30p1unds nd measured an av
erage ofthree gallons There was differ
ence of nine pounds in the weight of The
latter pair the smallest had The least
appetite, and his allowance of IS pounds
Of mush was nst as much as he appeared to
want. or would ca. up clear; the other was
greedy, and always sharp set, despatched
his mess quickly, and wanted more.
Before the experiment had progressed q
fortnight, there was a very perceptible
difference in the appearance of these pigs.
Those fed on mush assumed a more thrifty
healthy, fresh appearance, particula of
their hair, and this difference became more
striking as the experiment advanced.
On the 4th Of January, while preparations
were making for killing and dressing. they
we're again weighed on the hoof. One OF
those then, whose daily allowance had been
pounds of corn each, had increased 90
pounds in the "a days: the other, which had
had an equal allowance of corn, tad in.
created only 5 pounds. / could not ac-
count for the difference by anything could
discover, either before OF after killing the
appeties of these two were much more
alike than ofthe others; and their health
was apparently equally good.
OF the pair fed on mush, whose daily
allowance had been l-2 pounds Of mea
each, the greedy one had gained % pound:
ard the other 81 pounds.
These are all the material facts in these
experiments, except that very small por
ton Of salt was put into each mess of musl
land there is no miracle in them. Tn,
hogs allowed I pounds of each gaine'
less than three fourhs of pound daily, ant
this surely they might have gained from
the meal; but they gained more than thos
fed on double that quantity of corn. TIL
saving of one half the immense quantity q
corn consumed in raising and faltenin
hogs in Maryland, would be well worth tn
offer of premium 10 have these expert
menis accurately repeated and tested

THE MAGICIAN AND THE MAGPIE

Among the arguments brought forward
for the conversion of the FIFTEEN THOU
SAND MAJORITY of this State, who have
been uniformly for the last seven years,
OPPOSED TO Gen. Jackson and his admins
tration, is the assertion that Mr.. Van Blu.
rem and the General are two very different
men. We acknowledge that they are
somewhat different, but we think that in
all points of difference the General is de-
cidedly the better man. Bolllngbroke
speaks of a Gascon so servile that on being
kicked out Of a minister's door, he climbed
in again at the window. Mr. Van Buren,
in sycophancy and meanness. is a worthy
copyist Of the Gascon. He places all his
claims to Office on the most degrading &C
quescence in all that President Jackson
has said and done, since the the country
was first dsgraced by his elevation. lie
not only thinks it GLORY ENOUGH oHAvE
SERVED UNDER SUCH CHIEF, and prom
ses in general terms to FOLLOW IN HIS
FOOTSTEPS, but he gives us his specific APP
probation in detail Of all his leading meas
ures. 1t is little singular too. that whilst
his original views have correspondent will
those Of General Jackson, he has shown
n most wonderful alacrliy in CHANGING hi
opinions precisely at the proper lime an(
place.
Does Gen Jackson think n distribution
of the Surplus Revenue "just, safe. cqnl

could be devised for its disposition s.

HoRsEs.-Flies are great trouble TO Q
horse at this season. They will cat oil the
skin off the inside Of their ears. and then
feed upon the flesh, producing a great
deal Of pain and uneasiness. This evil may
be prevented by rubbing upon the inside
Of their ears n little grease or oil, which
should be repeated occasionally. Every
merciful man who has horse, will be mer.
ciful to his beast and prevent this injury.
