Birds are part of Gods creation, and

ravens when they cry; not sparrow

Birds are connected with man in the ar
engagements of Providence. They are
made subject to his power, but not that he
should exercise it in wanton cruelties, or
in their destruction. Instinct directs
them TO look to man for protection, and
they approach him with apparent conf
dence. They collect around his habitation,
and enliven it with their presence and
with their songs.
They become familiarized TO all around.

Selecting Seed Corn.

Every one is acquainted with the fact
that plants of any variety, grown from
seeds obtained in higher latitude, or

elevation, will come TO maturity, and rip
en- their seeds earlier, than when the pro.
cess IS reversed, and the seeds are obtain

ed position. In no plant is this effect
more conspicuous than in corn. and the
present season has afforded numberless
opportunities of testing the truth of the
theory. Where corn has been brought
from the vallies to the hills and planted
1t has been uniformly later in tasselino
and sllking than that grown at the same
elevation and where corn has been bro,t
from the north or the south for anv dis.

In the first case the corn coming forward

CLOVER SEED.

Clover seed is a valuable crop, aud will
probably continue to command good pri-
ces, as the practice of alternating wheat
and clover is increasing, and renders the
use of large quantities of seed annually
necessary. Of all the labors of the far
mer. there is none more dirty and perhaps
unwholesome, than getting out clover
seed. particularly in the old methods of
threshing it out by the fail, or by horses.
To get out The seed in this way, it was me-
cessary to have the chaf rotted by living
in the field, and when submitted to the
fail or trampling. was almost wholly con-
verted into fine dust, black as smut. and
producing deleterious effect on the lungs.
Improved methods have been adopted of
getting out the seed but still, from the
fact that seed got out by the fail or by
the feet of horses is better than any other.
considerable quantities are furnished in
that way.
One of the earliest Improvements was
machine somewhat resembling a smut
machine. made of sheet iron roughened
by being punched full of holes, through
which the chaff containing the seeds. after
being separated from the stems, was made
TO pass. The rapid revolution of these
cylinders reduced the chaff to dust, and if
the machine was well made, and proper
/ y attended to and adjusted, the seed was
delivered unlnjured, but too frequently the
seed from lnattention was injured so seri-
ously as TO destroy the value of a consid :
cradle proportion oft
Mills with stones as for ordinary grind.
ing are now generally used for separating
the seeds, in those parts of the country
where 1t is produced most extensively.
particularly In the state of Pennsylvania.
Where stones are used, the opening in the
runner is large to admit the chaff, and
the surfaces, instead of being grooved as
IN those used for grain, are made perfectly
smooth and the faces even. They must
not come too close, as the seed would be
! destroyed if that should be the case and
1t not unfrequently happens that clover
seed cleaned in this way is found to be
more or less injured.
| Within year or two, the common
threshing machine has been extensively
used for cleaning clover seed. The chat
is flrst beaten off from the stems. as for
the cylinder or the stone, and then passed
through the machine. AS fast as it passes
the machine. it is run through tanning
mills, which separates the dust from the
seed and The remaining chat, and this is
again and again returned 10 the machine
until the seeds are separated and deliver
ed by the tanning mill. In this way. we
understand, from eight to twelve bushels

though necessarily dirty and disagreed
Die one, is but short one. Judging from
what we have seen of it, this work is moi
much worse than threshing smutty bar
ley, and the clover seed so produced is Of
z! good quality so far as injury from get
ting out is concerned. We think. where
mills for cleaning are not convenient, the
threshlng machine will be a very good
substitute. -GeneSee Farmer.

FLORIDA WAR.

Gen. A. McComb, who it will be recol-
lected, was ordered sometime since to re-
psir to Florida; and to negotiate a peace
with the Indians in that quarter, has written
letter to the Secretary of War, giving a
detailed statement Of his operations. He
represents the Indians as having been anx-
ious for peace, but desirous OF remaining in
that section of country for the present, but
thinks there will be no difficulty in eventu-
ally persuading them to emigrate west of
the Mississippi, as soon as they can be sat
isfed that their brethren who have already
gone there, are favorabIy located. But for
the present he has thought it advisable to
conclude treaty with them allowing them
to remain within that territory. The fol-
lowing general order of Gen. McComb, en-
braces the substance Of the treaty, the con-
dtions of which he represents as having
given general satisfaction to the Indians,
and which he has no doubt will be faithful
ly kept on their part Thus we hope this
interminable war, which hts cost the nation
millions, has terminated.
