For ourselves we have no hestition in re-.

ference to the Short Horns, for ninety mine out
of An hundred of the Farmers IN the tide water

is better for the rich grass lands in the west,
where they want to convert their corn and

DRILL HuSBANDRY,

We have no doubt will ultimately come
into vogue among us-we mean in the cul"
ture of wheat and other grains-thought for
a long lime its progress will be slow.
At the late Preston agricultural meeting in
England, the question proposed for discus.
sion was" the comparative advantages Of
the drill and broadcast systems Of husban.
dry" Mr.. Binns ably advocated the drill
system. and set forth its advantages under
the following heads.
/. The seed is delivered with regularity.
2. 1t is deposited at proper depth.
3. The weeds, during the growth of
plants, are destroyed with great facility.
4. The plants cultivated receive the un.
divided benefit of the soil and manure, and
have not to maintain q constant struggle
with weeds.
S. The land by the process Of hoeins, is
undergoing preparations for another crop.
6. The necessity ofsummer following is
avoided.
7. By admission of the sun and air be.
tween the rows, stronger and healthier
plant is produced, and OF course a heavier
crop.
g. By stirring the soil it is more suscep.
tible of benefit from the atmosphere, imbi.
bing more oxygen, and being both warmed
and enriched by the sun.
9. The roots shoot freely in pulyerized
soil.
10. BY drilling, the farmer is enabled to
have heavier crops of beans and wheat on
light land.
IL. Clover and grass seeds answer in-
comparably better in the pulverizalion pro.
duced by hoeing, Independent, of the clear.
ness from weeds
IL. The drills give facility for depositing
smaller portions Of manure with greater
effect.
These advantages are all self.evident to
good farmer; and it might have been add
ed, as thirteenth advantage, that drilling
economies seed, though Mr.. Binns rejects
it, on the ground, that if the plants are thin,
they throw out side shoots, which produce
imperfac. grain, and ripen unequaly. In
drill Husbandry. Mr.. B. affirms, fifty.six
bushels Of wheat have been raised on the
light soils of Norfolk.
The drills employed in sowing wheat, &c.
are drawn by horse, and SOW six or eight
rows at time at required distance, drop.
ping and covering the seed. The machine
for Gearing between the rows, is also drawn
by one horse. and consists of frame with
six hoes fixed 10 it, which occupies the
same space as the drill. The rate of drill.
ling is an acre per hour. Wheat is drilled
at nine inches between the rows, and barley
at seven. The horse hoe is used once, and
the hand hoe twice. The expense Of weed
ing, in England. is stated at two shIllings
{forty.four cen's) per acre.
There was, some years ago, an excellent
drill presented for examination, 10 the AL.
bany County Agricultural Society. by a
gentleman living in the west part Of Oneida
county but as then drill husbandry was
little understood, and its advantages less ap.
preciated, the machine attracted but little at
tention, and has gone, we believe. to the
tomb Of the Capulets, to spring up again.
we hope, phoenix like, in better and more
popular form. [Cul:iya!or.

THE CREATION.

ny JAMES BENNETT, ESQ.,, of Long Island.
When nought existed but that great first cause
Which gave the Heavily orbs their various laws
When silence reignd in eternal sleep,
And darkness brooded DER the mighty deep;
When ancient night thro'out eternal space,
Had left not even To heav'n dwelling place,
The Mighty God then said, "LET THERE nv LIGHT"
To end the reign OF this eternal night
Let brilliant Suns thro out this void appear,
Their places take all other worlds TO cheer,
Let mighty globes then every Sun go round
And Moons as servants, move in space profound
Let Spirits who had no place before,
And with intelligence their God adore.
o. could created being now but view
With Godlike eye, the awful darkness through;
nucleus see, JUS, iormd for every Sun,
liquid fire 10 every centre run,
With lghtnings fierce that flashed from pole 10 pole
Scenes SO sublime must terrify his soul
But order came, and every world then found
An orbit true, 10 make lis heavily round.
System round system runs It's rapid race,
And orb round orb throughout cthral space
With sentient beings 10 ev'ry world was giv'n,
In countless number through the boundless beav'n
To slug the praise Of HIN whose presence bright,
Dispel'd the gloom and gave this glorious light
Of HIM, whose power and wisdom know no bound
As nature shows in thousand worlds around
/ OF iIM, who condescended in his plan,
/ To sioop 10 earth and form the creature man;
Whose spirit shines in man's,--as now you see
Its inspiration giving thoughts 10 me.
/ As in a falling tear his light doth shine,
/ His spirit, fayor'd man, doth dwell in thine.
Then unto HIM Jet seniient BEING raise
An endless song OF glory, pow'r and praise

ANDROCLUS AND HIS PATRON.

Translated from the Attic Nights of Aulius Gel
Illus Apon, literary man, skilled in the sciences of
Greece and Egypt, relates the following story, to
the truth Of which, as he afiirms, he eye wit
ness.
In the great amphheaire at Rome magnificent
spectacle of wild beasts and gladiators exhibit
ed to the people. multitude of animals of rare
form, size and ferociiy collected in the arena
but one lion in magnitude and ferceness excelled
them all lie by his strength and size, his terrific
and sonorous roar, his flowing and brawney
neck attracted the attention OF the whole crowd of
spectators. Among many others doomed 10 fight
with the animals there was the slave of a consul.
His name was Androclus. When the lion saw him
a distance, suddenly he stood still, If admirng
the man. Then 10y degrees and gently lac approach
ed, as if he knew him. Then after the manner OF
iawnina dogs, he softly and kindly came quite TO
the man, and licked his legs and his hands with his
tongue. while he almost expired through fear The
man Androcus, amid these Establishments OF so fe-
rocious beast, recovered his lost senses, and by
degrees fixed his eyes upon the lion. There as by
a mutual recognition you might see the lion and the
man coneratula,ing each other. This wonderful
thing excited the loud admiration OF the spectators,
and Androclus was called by Cpsar to explain why
SO ieIocious a beast should have spared him alive.
/ Then Androclus gave account OF this wonderful
/ and admirable transaction. When my master, said
he was Proconsul Of Africa, was there compelled,
by his daily and cruel beaiings, to fee, and that the
hiding places Of that country might protect me from
my master, retired into the solitary and sandy des-
ar1s, resolving if food should fail me, seek death
in some other way. Under the burning heat Of the
midday sun, finding remote and concealed cave
entered and laid myself down. No, long after
this lion came 10 the same cave with one foo, bloody
and wounded uuerng dolorons and pitiable groan,
from the pain But aher the lion had entered in, a,
