application, than the opportunity thereby
gained of working it in perfect manner.
It may be added, that though rong soils

lime, those Of light texture will do equally
well with little more than half the quantity
requisite on the o hers, especially if they are
fresh, or have not already received an ap'

case it is the farmer only with can judge OF
the quantity to be given ; but, as general
principle, it is safer TO exceed the proper
quantity than to be below it. In the latter
case the appica,ionmay prove useless, and
the whole expense be lost whereash rar ly

REMARKABLE ANEcDorE OF A DOG.

The anecdotes given Of dogs saving the
lives Of persons in danger of drowning, are
so numerous as to be familiar TO every per-
son. One cannot reflect on the innumerable
instances Of the love and usefulness Of this
animal, without being grateful to ProvIdence
tor having given TO man creature capable
of many of those noble md disn'erested
feelings, which we are accustomed to oP-
preciate so highly in our fellow creatures
and almost to look upon as constllusng the
perfection Of the human character. AT a
conven, IN France twenty paupers were
served with dinner at a certain hour every
day. A dog belonging to the convent dio
moi fail to be present at this regale, to re-
ceive the odds and ends which were now
and then thrown to him. The guess, now.
ever, were poor and hungry. and OF course
not very was,efull, so that their Pensloner
did li,.lo moro .hon scent the frnst OF winch
he would fain have partaken. The portions
were served by person at the ringing OF
a bell, and delivered oul by means OF what
in religious houses is called tour, which
is a machine like the section ofa cask thai
by turning round upon pivot exhibits what
ever is placed on the concave side, without
discovering the person who moves 1T. One
day this dog. who had only received few
scraps, waited till the paupers were all gone,
took the rope in his mouth and the bell ;
his stratagem succeeded. He repeated i,
the mex, day with the same good forIune.-
Al length, the cook, finding that twenty.
one portions were given out ins,ead Of
twenty, was determined to discover the trick,
in doing which he had no great difficulty,
for y ing perdue, and noticing the paupers
as they came for their different portions, and
there was no intruder except tho dog, he
began TO suspect the truth, which he was
confirmed in when he SAW the animal wait
with great deliberation till the visitors were
all gone, and then pull the bell. The mat
ter was related to the community, and TO re-
ward him for his ingenuity he was permitted
TO ring the bell eveIy day for his dinner, on
which mess of broken victuals was always
served out 10 him.

Welded rich food for the second crop of

course Of this season, as / have already
made nine hundred bundings since March,
out ofwhich number not fifty have failed.
In the first place, those made In March
upon the Morus Alba, are now (June 29lh.)

have on an average from $50 TO 800 buds.
The buds with which these innoculations
were made, had they been used as cuttings,
would be now at the very most, eighteen
inches high with from l6 to 30 green buds
on very small wood !; whereas my buildings
of March have stems, some of which mea.

of large wood for cuttings. is known to all

A respectable, worthy farmer lately sta.

that was an in provement on his own ways
and plans, he adopted il; so that in either
case he was instructed, and promoted his in.
teres,s, either by the evil or the good he no.
ticed in others. He stated, that on par
ticua, occasion he was at a tavern, where
there was an elderly man who was in'oxi.
Gated, and a number Of M.bred, vulgar
young men were engaged in deriding and
scoffing at him; the inebriaie, after some
time OF silence, turning round, observed to
them young men, "uhat you find wrong IN
me, try to mend in yourselves" This re-
mark, he said, made lasting impression
upon his mind, and had been serviceable to
him in his Journey through life; and he
thought, that if farmers generally would
adopt the plan Of mendin,; in their oDn
practice, sohat they see acrong in the doings
of others, it would very soon effect great
and wholesome change in the agriculture Of
the country greatly increase the number
of blades OF grass, and ears Of corn. and
make them longer too and it would much
promote the prosperity and independence
of many families, who now consider all times
as bad times with them. Remember,

THE BEST NArUREp MAN IN THE WORLD.

THE BEST NATURED MAN IN THE WohLD'
The following amusing soliloquy of Mr..

The last time Saix was seen in the busy
haunts of men, he looked the very incarnas
ton of gloom and despair. His very coat
had gone TO retrieve his necessities, and
he wandered slowly and abJectly about,
relieving the workings of his perlurbed spi-
ri, by kicking whatever fell IN his way.
I'm done," soliloquized he, partnership
between me and good nature is this day
dissolved, and all persons inde6 ed, will
please settle with the undersigned, who is
authorised. Yes there's good ma.
nv indebted, and its high time to dissolve,
when your partner has all the goods. and
spent all the money. Once had little
shor ah! wasn't II nice. But then comes
one troop Of fellows. and they wanted
tick--l'm so good natured then comes
another set of chaps who didn't let bash.
fulness stand in their way one minute; they
sailed good deal near the wind, and want.
ed to borrow money; I'm SO good natured;
and more asked me to 60 their security
These fellows were also particularly friends
Of mine, and got what they asked for; but
/ was very particular friend of,heirs, and

TO FARMERS.

TO FARMERS.
If ye aspire to wealth and ease.
Stock well your farms with mulberry trees
The silk worms will their wealth unfold,
And coin their foliage into goli.
Suppose that you have never known,
And are not curious to be shown
The simple culture ofthe worm
Your neighbors may the thing perform.
And then the leaves which you produce,
In skillful hands become of use,
The farmer who would make pretence
To taste, should have hedge.row fence;
No tree that's known so quickly grows,
Or looks so uniform in rows.
1t springs from cuttings or from seeds,
Ani overcomes poor soils and weeds;
And in four years will make fence.
With, of all things the least expense.
And when instead Of walls and rails,
The mulberry hedge around prevails,
Tie lands produce a mine Of wealth.
Employment. happiness and health.
The mulberry grows on every soil.
Requires bat little aid or toll,
And tho best silk is always found.
Produced from leaves off sandy ground:
While rich soil will leaves produce,
Astounding in watering juice,
And on which if worms be fed,
They make coarse and brittle thread.
