half-silled land is growing poorer; when
well titled land is constantly improving.
2. A farmer should never keep more cat
tie, horses, sheep or hogs, than he can keep
in good order; an animal in high order the
first Of December is already half winte red.
8. A farmer should never depend on his
, neighbor, for what he can, by care and
good management. produce on his own
farm; he should never beg fruit while he
can plant trees nor borrow tools when he
can make or buy; high authority has
said the borrower is a servant TO the lend.

4. The farmer should never be so i'm
me rsed in political matters to forget TO SOW
his wheat, dig his potatoes and bank up his
cellar; nor sh Iuld he BE- SO nattentive to

tons Of national and state policy which

5. farmer should shun the doors Of a
bank rs he would the approach Of The pa-
que or cholera, banks are for traders ana
men Of specuIalionS, and theirs is bust
ness with which farmers have little 10 do.
g. a farmer should never be ashamed
OF his calling; we know that no man can
be entirely independent yet the farmer
should remember tina; if any one is said to
possess that cnviaJlc distinction he is the
man.
7. No farmer should allow the rcproach
Of neglected education TO lie against him

10. A farmer should never allow his
wood house to be empty Of wood during the
summer season; if he does when winter
comes, in addition to cold he must expect

Paris correspondent Of the National lnelli-
gencer of the l6h ultimo, we find that the
3earncd Sarans OF the Paris Academy Of
Sciences have determined that the culture
Indian corn, for the manufacture Of sugar,
possesses numerous advantages over the
beet root. The settling oflhis po.ut BY
body of men so eminent in scientific at
tsinmcnts, will go far to accelerate the fab
rication of sugar from land rs neces-
sary consequence impart new interest and
vaIuc to its culture, as the development OF
this new channel Of consumption cannot fail
10 exercise a happy influence upon the price
and particularly so, as il is stated that an
acre will Yell l,00u pounds of sugar OF
good quality, besides corresponding large
quantity of molasses,a as well rs Abundance
OF rcsidum, OF the very best character OF
feed for cattle. With a climate and soil for
the production Of corn, we infer that the
day is not distant when new encourages
