Root Crop compared with Hay and Corn.
An acre of hay yields one ton and halt
of vegetable food. An acre Of carrots or
Swedish turneps will yield from ten TO
twenty tons; say fifteen tons, which is by
no means an exaggerated estimate. 1t
has been asccrtained by experiment, that
three working horses, fifteen and halt
hands, consumed at the rate of two hun
dred and twenty four pounds OF hay per
week, or about five tons and halt per
year, besides twelve gallons Of oats each
per week, or sevcnty-eght bushels by the
wear An unworkcd horse consumes at
the rate of four and one quarter tons Of
hay in the year The produce, therefore
of nearly six acres Of land is necessary 10
support working horse by the year; but
half an acre of carrots, at SIN hundred
bushels TO the acre, with the addition Of
chopped straw, while the season Tor their
use lasts, will do it as well if not better
These things do not admit of doubt They
have been subjects Of exact trial. 1t Is
believed that the value of n bushel OF lndl-
an corn in straw and meal, will keep Il
healthy horse in a good condition for a
week. An acre Of Indian corn which
Yields sixty bushels, will be ample for the
support of horse through the year, Let
the farmer, then, consider whether II be
better TO maintain his horse upon the pro-
duce of half an acre Of carrots, which can
be cultivated at an expense not greatly
exceeding the expense of half an acre of
potatoes, or upon half an acre of ruta ba-
g, which can be raised at less expense
Than potatoes, or upon the grain produce
Of an acre of Indian corn, or on the 9TH
or hand. upon the produce Of six acres Of
his best land in hay and grain; for SIX
acres will hardly do more than yield SIX
tons Of hay and sevcnty-elghi bushels OF
oats.

4 FRAGMENT.

Happiness p1Ssos>eih it! The man
OF wealth whose money can purchase all the
luxurcs Of dress, whose tab C is richly deck
cd with all the deicacies Of he season, and
whoes palate is tlckIcd with the costly pro-
ducts Of foreign lands-is he happy! Fol
low him as, sitting in his splendid coach
drawn by gaily caparisoncd horses he takes
his accustomed EXERCISE. Swiftly he pur-
sues his way, leaving far in the distance the
modest pedestrian who is travelling the
same road. His equipage stops, the
steps are lei down, two stout men are stand
ing nj the carriage door TO receive the help
less and nanimate body, whose legs refuse
their Office all his riches cannot purchase
the luxury of WALK. Possesseth he hap
pness! There can be NO happiness where
there exist such fearful evidence ofdiscasc.
Look at the MIsER, whose only care and
whose every thought is engrosscd in his
desire to accumIlate riches-see how he
gloats over his boarded treasure, and wor-
ships il as his god - witness his scrulnizing
look, fearful of the sound produced by his
own footsteps rs he approaches his conceal
ca treasure. Mistake not for happiness the
satisfied air with which he drops into the
pile his lately acquired dollar but watch
him as he stcalthly retreats, fearful lest
some unseen eye may have discovered his
concealed wealth. and say if happiness
dweIleth with him! Who then has hap
piness, since neither the possession nor the
avaricious accumulation Of wealth are cal
cuIatcd 10 produce it! Who hath?
