RURAL ECONOMY.
RI ". G.

The first object of a farmer in cul'ira:lng
the soil is profit; and next to this is the
desire of securing the first with as little ex-
penditure of labor and means as is possible.
10 do this the quality Of the sol, its condl-
ton, and the size of the farm, must be taken
into consideration. Its very situation will
in great measure determine the first; Its
condition will of course be depending on
the iudicious or injudicious treatment 1t has
received; and as to number Of acres, 1t is
evident that without a certain quantity OF
them, some kinds of farming, such as gram
raising, or wool growing, cannot be profit
ably undertaken. Perhaps there is no one

Giving to the farmer clear profit Of
eleven dollars upon each Of the twenty
acres used for the dairy. 1t must be re-
marked, however, that to produce this re.
suit, ths COWS must be in good heart and
tolerable order on the first Of May, and
have good feed for the summer. Cows
that "shirked" through the winter, and
pasture Oh daisies, johnswort, and thstes,
through the summer, will not reach the
above mark, and the owners may think
themselves fortunate if the summing up"
should no. show balace the other way.
If the dairy is to be devoted to making
butter, there will be but little differences in
the result; though if conducted under fa-
yorabc circumstances, VIC thing making
butter rather more profitable than cheese.
Many persons, however, connected with the
dairy, think otherwise, and the odds at any
rate cannot be very great. 10 make but
ter through the summer, the dairy must be
so situated and constructed, that uniform
proper temperature may be maintained, as
it is well known if the temperature is too
low, the cream will be so long in rising as
to become bitter; and if too high, as is
usually the case in the summer, the milk
sours before the cream has to separate, by
which much of the cream is lost, and the
butter rendered of an inferior quality. In
making butter, more is depending ON the
quality and richness of the milk, than in
making cheese, as some cows from the
same quantity Of milk will give double the
amount of cream that others vii land

made with reference to this very point.
This fact accounts for the discrepancy
shown in the quantity of butter produced in
different dairies, and the varying estimates
consequently made of the butter each COW
will produce in a season. There are some
COWS that will make a pound OF butter a
dav for seven or eight months, with good
keeping, and there are others. that if they
give half a pound day may be considered
as doing well.
The breed of COWS has great influence
in determining the quantity or qualify of
the milk. The Earl Of Chesterfield a
short time since instituted series Of expo
riments on some favorite COWS Of different
breeds, the result of which was a follows:
sin the height Of the season the

JUDGE MARsHALLs RESPECT FOR THE FE-
MALE SEx.-It is well known that Judge Mar
shall's will contains particular directions for
an inscription upon his tomb, simple, concise
and characteristic. II mentions only the day
of his birth, 1ie day Of his marriage, the name
Of his ,oift and the period Of heir separation by
death, with blank to be filled up with the
date of his own dissolution.
\ The following is an extract from Judge
Story's Eulogy upon his character, whichwas
one Of the noblest that ever adorned our
country.
"M.y ! be permitted also in this presence
to allude to another trait in his character,
which lets us at once into the inmost recesses
Of his feelings with an unerring certainly
] allude to the high value in which he held
the female sex, as the friends, the compan-
ions, and the equals of man. ! do not here
mean to refer to the courtesy and delicate
kindness, with which he as accustomed TO
treat the sex; but rather to the unaffected re-
spec, with which he spoke of their accom-
plishments, their virtues; and their excellen-
cies The SCOTS and jeers Of the rnorose, the
bitter taunts of the satirist, and the lighter
ridiculc Of the witty, so profusely and often
so ungenerously poured out upon transient
follies or fashions, found no sympathy in his
bosom. He was still farther above the com.
mon place batteries, by which frivolity seeks
to administer aliment to personal vanity, or
vice to make its approaches for baser purpo-
ses. lie spoke to the sex when present, as
he spoke of them when absent, in language
Of Just appeal TO their understandings, their
tastes and their duties lie paid voluntary
homage to their genius, and the beautiful pro-
ductions Of it, which now adorn almost every
branch of literature and learning. lie read
their productions with glowing gratitude.
He proudly proclaimed their merits, and vim
dicated on all occasions their claims to the
highest distinction. And he did not hesitate
to assign to the great female authors of our
day rank not inferior to that of the most
gifted and polished of the other sex. But
above all, he delighted to dwell upon the ad-
mrable adaptation of their minds, and sens-
bilities, and affections, to the exalted duties
assigned to them by Providence. Their su-
perior purity, their singleness of heart, their
exquisite perception of moral and religious
sentiment, their maternal devotedness, their
sacrifices, their fearlessness
in duty, their buoyancy in hope, their courage
in despair, their love, which triumphs most
when most pressed by dangers and Difficult
les; which watches by the couch of sickness,
md smooths the bed of death, and smiles even
n the agony of its own sufferipgs. These
we're the favorite topics of his confidential
and on these he expatiated with
