Protection of corn against Crows.

Mr. o. NJ. WhippIe, of Lowell Mass, says,
in his statement to the Agricultural Commits
sioner of Massachusetts, that for fifteen years
he has preserved his corn from the dePreda'ions
of crows, by sowing on his field quart Of corn
soaked in a strong solution Of salipetre. We
can believe this, as no crow which might have
eaten half dozen grains of corn well saturated
with sal,pelre, would live long enough 10 be-
quca,h his estate TO his interesting progeny,
though scrivener were at hand, at the time
of his making his meal, to draw his will. Salt
petre judiciously used, possesses medical vIr-
tues, but when taken TO excess, is destructive
of life, and hence the protection it affords 10
seed corn soaked in solution Of 1t, against
worms as well as crows.
The best Scare-crowS we have ever used,
were bright sheets Of TIN suspended from poles
by wires; the poles of sufficient height, and
in sufficient numbers, TO be seen all over the
field. -Four or six, if judiciously placed, will
etfectually answer for field of fifty acres
Our mode of fixing them was this: we cut a
pole Of sufficient height, trimmed of all The
limbs but the upper one, to the end oil this limb
we attached, by strong flexible wire, sheet
of lin, and planted the pole thus provided firm
Iy in the ground on the destined spot. The
limb left at the top should project horizontally
far enough to allow full play TO the tin. Thus
attached The slightes, breeze gives motion TO
the tin, and consequently causes reflection
SO sudden as to efeclually frigh,en off crows,
or other birds addicted to picking up The corn.
Three wears successful use Of such Scdre-crOcS,
Justify us in recommending them TO our breth-
rem American Farmer.

OHl rearing Calves.

l do not say know the best way; bu, from
some experience | can inform d. B. G.. Of
good one for the butcher, | let them take all
the milk they will from The cow (and if one
does not give enough give them more,J ill
they are five or six weeks old, keep them in a
close dark place, clean and dry, and they never
fail of being good. For rearing, l take them
from the cow soon after they are dropped, and
feed them new milk two or three OF the first
weeks. then set my milk from morning ill
night, take off the cream, boil potatoes or beans
and mash them fine, and put with the milk a
very little salt feed them with that food till
they are twelve or thirteen weeks old, when
begin to weanthem by reducing the quantity, at
the same time put trough in their passage
where put dry oats. and they soon learn to eat
them; one pint per dav each through the sum-
mer. In the fall, or first of foddering time,
feed them that mess morning and evening"
Through the winter feed hay, corn fodder, oats
in sheaG, and when the weather is extremely
cold, give them few potatoes, carrots or tur-
nips, with plenty of clean water and SALT and
be sure 10 protect them from all iuclement
weather. In the spring, turn in pasture with
other catle-no extra care. My heifers never
fail TO come in at two years old as large as my
neighbors' do al three; be the feed what it will,
feed plenty If my cattle from any cause get
troubled with lice, have remedy have new
er seen in the Cultiva.or keep box with
fine dry sand in my barn, and if discover any
lice on them, put it on from back ofthe horns
the whole length Of their back few times; it
has never failed TO effect cure. 1t may be
observed that cattle, or any animal that has
free access to the ground, are seldom troubled
with lice in summer. If you think the above
remarks worth notice, they are yours. l have
used many words to convey few ideas, but
could not make them palmer with less.

Close Planting.
experience

A Scotch farmer, residing in the town of
Sodus, Wayne county, New-York, informs us
that he raised the past season 400 bushels Of
Indian corn on four acres ofland, notwithstand-
ing the dryness of the season. He attributed
his success mainly to his manner Of planting,
and thinks farmers generally plant too thinly.
His mode is to plant in rows three feet apart,
and drop two grains in place only fifteen in
ches apart in the rows. The soil is sandy
loan, and 100 loads Of manure were put on the
four acres. The corn was ripened and cut
sufficiently early 10 sow the ground with wheat

Revolutionary Tncideut.

During the Revolutionary war, two brothers,
from one of the eastern ports, were command
ers of privaieers; they cruised together, and
were eminenlly successful, doing great damage
to the enemy and making money for themselves.
One evening, being in the latitude Of the shoals
of Nantucket, but many miles to the eastward
of them, they espied large British vessel, hav-
ing the appearance of a Merchantmen, and
made towards her, but to their astonishment,
found her to be ffigale in disguise. A very
light breeze prevailing, they hauled off in diff:
erent directions One only could be pursued,
and the frigate gained rapidly upon him.. Find
ing he could not run away, the commanding Off
Ger had recourse 10 straiagem. On sudden
he hauled down every sail, and all hands were
employed with setting poles, as if showing his
vessel off bank The people on board the
frigaie, auazed at the supposed danger ifry
had run, and 10 save themselves from being
grounded, Immediately clawed off, and lell t,
