REMARKS ON THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES
OF HUSBANDRY

oH i1OSDANOh4s
l. Whatever may be the nature Of your
soil, and situation Of your farm, remems
Der, that there is no soil SO good but it may
be exhausted and ruined by bad tillage,
and that there is none so bad that it can
not be rendered fertile by good tilage even
barren heath, if it can be ploughed and
swarded.
:. The true art of husbandry consists
10 suffering no crop TO grow upon your
land, that will SO far exhaust your soil, as
to lessen the value of your succeeding crop,
whatever profit such crop may afford you
3. TO avoid this, suffer no crop to grow
two years successfully, upon the same
peace, Of ground excepting grass, land buck
wheat, without the fertihzing aid of rich
manures, to support the strength of the soil,
and even then, change of crops will gen.
EARLY do best excepting onions, carrots, and
hemp.
4;h. Every plant derives from the ear tn
for its growth such properties as are pecu-
liar TO itself (; any plant, when followed
successfully for two or more years upon
the same ground, will exhaust the soil of
these properties peculiar itself, without
lessening It's powers 10 produce some 9TH
er plants. The fact is most striking in
the article Of flax, which will not bear to
be repeated oftener than once in seven
years, and is common to all crops, with the
exception of these noticed above. 49,.
8. To avoid this evil, arrange your
farms is such divisions as will enable you
TO improve all the varieties of crops your
land may require, in such regular success
sion, as to form a routine of five six or
seven years, according to the nature, quail
lty and situation Of your farm.
6. This method will make poor land
good, and good better. Try and see.

ADVENTURE IN IRELAND.

"And so, Pat, you think you can show
me plenty of snipe." This was addressed
by young sportsman TO an Irish peasant
who was hanging over what was intended
for gate. Pat was dressed in q beautiful
suit of rags, which left nearly every part
of his brawney person exposed to the chill
air; hat he had not, but his head was CO.
vered with thickIy matted crop Of red
hair, which disdained all restraint. In
his mouth he held an empty 'duddeen,' the
stem of which was just long enough to ad-
NIT of being held between his teeth, and
under his arm he held a beautiful stick"
with a most enchanting mob at the end of
It, in which was inserted q peice of sharp
iron about two inches long.
"Faiks, and it's meself as can show
yes the snipes; you may we'll say that
word, but how do yes think can be after
having the farm, and this the digin' time,
sure?''
The sportsman smiled at the word farm
for the shantee stood surrounded by bog;
the only sign of cultivation was a very
small potatoe patch. in which two hogs
were most industriously roofing.
"Well now, Pat, I'll pay you for your
trouble"
cara now, be after giving me half a
CANA, and III show yes as many birds as
yes could shute in mont"
Well, show the game. and we won't
quarrel about the money"
4" Snow you the money, and sure we
won't quarrel a. all" said Pat.

Philosophy Of advertising. "a late
number of Chambers Edinburg Journa,
contains very interesting article on the
subject OF advertising in tho public papers,
by an 'Old tradesman.' His ideas on the
subject, are certainly worthy the attention
OF all who are anxious for business, and
are simply and briefly as follows The
first utility of frequent and regular adver-
Using is this there is at all times large
class OF persons, both in country and town,
who have no fixed places for the purchase
| OF certain necessary articles, and arc rea-
dy 10 be swayed and drawn towards any
particular place which is earnestly brought
under their notice. Indifferent to all, they
yield without hesitation to the first who
asks. Then in the country, a considera-
be number of persons, who wish a supply
Of them, naturally open a communication
with that address, which, perhaps, leads
to much Interior business. People in this
country are also liable TO be favorably i'm
pressed by the frequent sight Of the name
| IN the newspaper.
The advertising party acquires distinc-
| ton in their eyes, and thus they are led
in making a choice, TO prefer him. But
by far the most important effect Of adver-
Using is one Of an indirect nature, that
conveys the impression that the party pre-
tending-quackish or no, quack sh-is anx-
ious for business, is unavoldably supposed
to be an industrious attentive, civil person,
who keeps the best article at the cheapest
rate, does every thing in the nea,est and
most tradesman like manner, and in gen.
eral uses every expedient to crafty and
attract customers. People of course like
to purchase under these circumstances,
and the system of advertising. assuring
them that such circumstances exist at this
particular shop, they select it accordingly.
Such are the opinions of the old tradesman
alluded to, and they are actually supported
by fact !; for whenever an extensive or re-
guar system of advertising is practiced,
and no back-drawing or unconquerable cir
cumstances exist, it is usually seen TO be
attended with a considerable share of sue
cess. One feature in the philosophy of the
subject must be carefully attended to. A
faint and unfrequent system of advertising
does not succeed in even proportion
: Drink deep or taste not the Pieran
Spring."
