From the Phiianthrpisf
Chesterfield.

By some means a very strong prejudice has been ex.
cited against this town throughout The county Of
Cheshire and when religion, motals good order,
anything that should gain the favor Of the vrtuous is
spoken of ia connexion with the place, people are
prompted to enquire" Can there any good thing
come out Of Nazareth" They talk as the town
was inhabited by race OF monsters, wholly unlike
the men and women who are found elsewhere. IL is
the TEXAS Of the county. The name is spoken with
a sneer and with evident feeling of pride that the
speaker is located where the OF society is better
than il is there.
Mr. Editor have a word TO say in favor Of Chester
field. / believe that there is prejudice against the
town which ought not to exist, and which does not
acquainted with the state of morals there. Ches,er-
field is taking the lead Of the orderly village Of Keene
in several important reforms.
IN the FIRST place, there Is no person licensed 10 sell
ardent spirits Of any kind in the town the present year
will licenses be granted, understand, in any case.
Please ihs down the credit OF the place, and ask
yourself whether the example is not worthy Of being
copied BY OF the more respectable towns in the
county. Furthermore; although there is new bowl
ing alley in the centre village, the moral feeling OF ihc
people against all such nnisances ia strong that il
was shut up very after IL made, aud has not
been allowed 10 60 into operation since The reader
sgiI weigh this TACT and draw his own inferenees.-
Once more /; the youth and young men OF the place
appear act IL some restraint was laid upon then.
They make no disturbance-ihey are not seen prowl'
ing about the streets at unreasonable hours, in any
way violating the rules OF proprieiy. ! am told by
those who are better acquainted with The people there
than am, that there Is not single young man in the
town who is decidedly corrupt in morals, and who
seems to have lost oil ae-respect. This is remarkable
Chesterfield Is not free from bad citizens and pray
cell me where you will ind place that is ? But il is
corrupt that II deserves TO be made the subject
Of Tdicule Other towns would do well 10 pattern al
Ter C. nmany respects, And above all " they who live
ingass houses should never throw stones."-SMoN

Farm Work for April.

You will gain nothing by attempting TO pillow
while the ground is wet. The effect Of premature
blowing is to render the soil lumpy through the
whole summer. Lands tina; we're in corn last year
may be narrowed some days sooner than they can
be plowed TO advantage. Some farmers have adopt
ed the plan-raiher a new one-of narrowing their
Indian corn hills before blowing, to prepare the
ground for the pillow. And they then pillow lbut
before seeding for fear Of turning to the sur
face the stubs, litter and weeds that they have
once buried. Some use a cultvator 10 open the
rows-others take small pillow and split the hills
open, leaving the intervals untouched Either Of
these methods is better than turning the whole twice
in the same moh6 For we always bury matter
that ought to rot before we turn it again to the sur
face We speak Of fields clear of rocks &c
MANAGING Pillow TEAMS.
Oxen suffer more from heat in April than in
June In a warm day they must be used carefully.
Yet there is need of keeping them a slow
pace. Let them walk lively in clear fields and lie,
them sop often 10 take breath. Otherwise YOU
may gel them in the habit of moving slow that
they can not be coaxed out Of il when they travel
on the road
Oxen and horses should have the chief part Of
their grain at night. There is greater folly in
feeding than the practice of stung down the hear
tiest food at the commencement Of days work.
Men of good judgment in other matters often give
horse mess Of grain Just before starting on
journey. Give the grain al night and it will di-
gest before morning and strengthen the animal.
Well bred oxen need no driver at their side
they travel faster without one Here you save
boys wages and board. Horse teams are excel
lent on plain land. They will pillow ten hours in
day but your oxen in the spring should not work
more than eight. Some horses may be taught TO 90
well in pillow field without leader and without
long reins.
Use the very plainest language TO your cattle
Go for go, whoa for whoa, baw for haw gee for
gee, and they will soon learn 10 understand you.-
But if you cry whoa and put the whip, as many
blockhead does to force them forward, you rival
Babel and must expect nothing but confusion
CARE OF HOGS AND cows
At this season Of the year sows must not be shift
ed from pen 10 pen or shut up in a small styc when
they have been used to larger liberty. They
should not be disturbed, if you can possibly avoid
it, for weeks before their time of uering Each
SOW should be put in pen by herself; but if she
should steal out into the woods and choose her own
ltering place you will be more sure Of saving her
offspring Take care TO feed her but little at first.
Let not beautiful litter Of white pigs make you
feel suddenly generous, and anxious TO overload
her stomach.
Cows will get along better in the woods at the
time Of cayng than they will be in your best barns
when tied to post At large they drink cold wa
ter in safeiy-because they drink before their thirst
Is excessive. But when you have restrained them,
you must nurse and let them have warm drink.
