 Mist0kes.-It is a serious mistake that a farmer commits when he suffers his ma- Dure to lie over the summer in his yard, Ieached by rains, and wasted by winds, while his root crops are suffering for tho want of them. Corn, potatoes, ruta baga, &c. are the swine of the vegetable crea- tion, requiring high keeping, and rarely or never suffering with snrfeit. They will both eat what they can; digest, and then eat again, and the more the better.
 It is another mistake to give the manure to white or grain crops. while in fresh or only partly termented state. It may make great straw, but unless the natural princi- pies of fertility are abundant in the soil, in- dependent of the newly applied manure, the grain will be inferior. Let the greedy feeders above named have the first chance; the second table will better suit the more delicate grains. It is a great mistake 10 put seeds into the ground unless it is properly prepared and in a good state for their reception. Soils can scarcely he made too fine, or too mellow, and seed should never be put in when the soil is wet and adhesive. Bet- ter to wait few days until your ground is in good iihh, or till the surface is no long CT mud, than to scatter seed among unbro- ken clods, or have it bedded and baked in quagnlire.
 IL is a serious error in husbandry to plant or SOW any but the best seed. Chess and cockle in winter wheat, oats in the spring wheat or in barley, or impure grass seeds, should never be put into the ground. l It lessens the value of the crop it increa- sss and perpetuates those pests of the farmer, weeds and it gives miserable example of husbandry to surrounding farm CTS. In this respect, le;,every one corr rect one, and the evils complained of would speedily be cured.
 1t is gross mistake to propagate infe- rior breeds of animals, particularly cattle and swine, when those of the best qualities can be readily obtained. An improved Devon was lately slaughtered at Smith field, 19 months old, that weighed over Is cwt. How many Of our four year oIds, after being kept and fattened till that ese, would equal this yearling7 And do not our farmers usually throw away about one half of their swine feed in getting animals into good working order," when the in,- proved China or Berkshire pigs, would fatten without a squeal on what these lean gluitons waste. It is great mistake in economy, for a farmer to neglect his garden. It.-is of no use to say. "I have so much work to do in the field, that I cannot attend to my garden" for if so, you are bad calcula- tor, and lose more than you gain. From half-acre-garden. well managed, family can almost live and the time required for keeping it in order cannot be named in comparison with the actual profit. Let the girls remember il is no disgrace to be seen in garden, and that weeding an on- ion bed, is as honorable an employment as playing on a piano. Utility before amuse- ment, should be the motto of all and if the medication of this principle is neglect ed by parents, the error is not anfrequcnt- ly fatal to the happiness and prosperity of the child.- Genesee Farmer.
 An Inuitation to Dinner.-It was ob- served that certain covetous rich man never invited any one to dine with him. " I'll lay wager,' said a wag" l get an in- vitation from him." Tho wager being ac- cepted, he goes the next day to the rich mans house. about the time he was to dine, and tells the servant he must speak with his master immediately. for that he can save him thousand pounds.
 :" Sir" said the servant 10 his master, " here is man in great hurry to speak with you, who says he can save you thou sand pounds" (Out came the master.)
 "What is that you say, sir-tI'at you can save me thousand pounds "
 "Yes, sir, can--but see that you are a, dinner; l will go myself and dine, aud call again."
 70, pray, sir, come in and take dinner with me-"
 | "Sir, I shall be troublesome"
 Not at sll."
 The invitation was accepted. As soon as dinner was over, and tho family retired, |" we'll, sir" said the man of the house, {" now, sir, to our business. Pray, let me know how am to save thousand pOunds."
 "Why, sir,' said the other. :" hear you have daughter to dispose Of in mar risee." "I have"
 "And that you intend to portion her with ten thousand pounds"
 "I do so.''
 Why, then, sir, let me have her, and I wiIl'take her for nine ibOusand." The master of the house rose in pas- sion and turned him out of doors. The Grea, used up Wan Buren is used nn-e Yfinn,lished-nxnilnged The Sub-
