NONSUITING A CREDITOR.

There was certain lawyer on the
Cape, a long time ago, the only one in
those diggins" then. and Tor aught
know, at present. He was a man well
to do in the world, and what was some.
what surprising in a limb of the law
averse to encouraging litigation.
One day client came to him in a
most terrible rage:
Look here, Squire" said he, "that
ere blasted shoemaker down to Pigeon
Cove has gone and sued me for the
money for pair Of boots owed him. u
." Did the boots suit you :"
ooh |! yes--Pve got 'em on now
fust rate boots"
Fair price,"
"Oh ! yes"
"Then you owe him the money hon
estly."
"Course."
Well, why don't you pay him 7"
"Why, cause the blasted snob went
and sued me, and want to keep him
out Of the money if kin"
1t will cost you something"
81 don't keer a cuss for that. How
much money do you want to begin
with %
ooh ten dollars will do"
Is that all Well, here's a X, SC
go ahead )" and the client went out
very well satisfied with the beginning.
Our lawyer called next morning and
asked him what he meant by commenc.
ing legal proceedings against M.
Why" said he, {" | kept on sendin
to him till got tired. know'd he was
able to pay-and was termn'd to make
him. That's the long and short of it,"
"Well," said the lawyer, "he's always
been good customer to you, and think
you acted too hastily. There's a trife
to pay on account of your proceeding
but think you'd better take this five
dollars and call it all square,"
Certain, Squire, if you think so, and
darned glad to get it," was the answer.
80 the lawyer forked over one V, anc
kept the other.
In few days his client came along
and asked him how he got on with hi,
case.
=" Rapidly! !" said the lawyer, we'v,
nOnSuited him he'll never trouble you =

TOPPING CORN,

NoN-MUrILATIoN ADVOCATED. We
advise our farmers this year not to top
their corn, but 10 make trial of the plan
so long recommended by intelligent
practical farmers in almost every section,
TO wit to cut it up at the roots. There
can be no question that this wholesale
mutilation of the corn operates as de-
cided injury 10 the crop. IT makes more
work, and is practiced in reference TO no
other production that we know of.
1t is most certainly for the inter-
est of our agricultural friends candid
ly TO investigate the matter, and to as
certain by actual experiment, the real
difference of expense characterizing the
two methods, and The exact difference as
TO the profits Or results.
1t appears from the presentations Of
those who have tested, accurately, the
value Of the two systems, that the loss
from cutting averages about lacenly pc,
cent. or about one fifth of the entire crop
In the New-Eneland, Farmer, Vol. x.
No. 80, there is an article on this sub
ject, by William Clark, Jr. Of North
ampton, Mass, to which we respectfully
ask the attention of our readers, and
from which they may obtain some i'm
portant hints that they would do well
TO observe in the treatment of this valua.

RULES FOR MILKING.

Milking cows is generally performed
in Maine, wherever have been, by
men or boys. The women, however
do it, or assist in doing it, on some farms
and on most of them in busy seasons.
Having MIXED, more or less, every
season since was wee-bit' boy, and
having seen it done so poorly as to in
jure the COW, propose to give few
rules for it, which ] have learned from
my own and others experience. They
are as follows
/. Have good stool to sit on.
9. Have your finger nails pared short
and smooth.
3. Sit down and clean the bag, and
wet the teats with the first stream Of
milk.
4. Then set the pail Under, and milk
as fast as you conveniently can--the
faster the better. A COW will give more
milk when MIXED fast than when MIXED
slow.
5. Milk as though the teats were full
to the last, otherwise it makes them long
TO " strip in little while.
6. Never scold or strike COW for
running about the yard or kicking. 1t
generally does more hurt than good.
7. IF she runs about, have patience
talk kindly TO her-and tie her up, as a
last resort, till she is not afraid.
8. If she kicks, sit forward far enough
for your knee TO come forward of her
leg, and she cannot easily hurt you OF
spill the milk.
9. If she switches you with her tail,
in "fy time" fasten it by parting the
the hair and tying it round her leg
Use a string, if the hair is not long
enough.
10. If she holds up her milk, butt wiAl
your hands, What else does calf but
for but TO make the mother give the milk
down. PICKLED BEET.

EFFECTS OF Micro EMANcIpATIoN.-Th
slaves constituted formerly the wealth of the
planters; now, as free and remunerated laborers
they are the soul ofour Island commerce, and as
such, are the wealth of the merchants. Let us
look back at the commercial revolution which
has taken place in Trinidad since the dawn Of
freedom The signs of comparative wealth
among the aboring people everywhere appear
The great change in their condition has greatly
stimulated trade of every description. Meohan-
ic trades OF every class have increased hun

A "REMINISCENCES.

The celebration of our National An.
niversary brought TO recollection many
interesting events of that remarkable
epoch. One, in connection with Riv.
ington, the celebrated kings pinter,"
will be remembered by some who vel
are spared TO us.
Rivington had the entire confidence
of the British government, and held the
"rebels," as he termed the patriots, in
great contempt, and ridiculed their pre-
tensions, their battles, and their ragged
regiments. He was particularly sarcas-

STARCH.

The best and cheapest method Of
manufacturing starch for domestic uce,
is to take ears of green corn when in
full milk, and carefully separating them
from all the husk and silk, rub off the
pulp on coarse crater, or tin sieve, mix
it in pan with clear cold water, and LET
it stand for two hours; then pour of
the water carefully, leaving the starch al
the bottom of the pan fill it again with
water, stir it well and let it settle as be-
fore; repeat this process until the water
above the starch is perfectly clear and
the starch appears clean and white be-
meath. Pour this off also and fill the
pan once more with water which has
been previously blued and strained, mix
ii well and strain the whole through a
coarse towel or strainer let it stand foi
two or three hours, then pour off the
water, and place the starch upon earth
ern platters to dry in the sun. Starch
made in this way is not inferior in quail
ity to that made of rice, and is less ex-
pensive. Twelve ears of large gourd
seed corn will make half pound o.
starch.
DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARING OR USING
THIS STARCH.
For linen, dissolve one large table
spoonful of starch in two gils of colo
water; dip the articles and wiring them
then wrap in thick dry cloth and lie
them remain at least six or eight hours
before ironing. If any traces of til,
starch are discernable on the garments
let them be carefully rubbed with a dr.
cloth, before using the smoothing iron
For lace, prepare the starch as before
dip the articles, wiring and clap them
and iron Immediately, with very he
iron. Footings, edgings, &c. should b
ironed lengthwise, so that the edges b.
kept straight. If care is taken in this
the articles will have every appearance
of new. For book muslin, lawn, lack
onet, etc. dissolve one tea-spoonful O
starch in table spoon Of cold water
to this add two gills of boiling water
place it on the stove, and let it boil tel
or fifteen minutes, stirring it all the time
Take it off, and add a few shavings c
clean white tallow, stir it well, and whe
sufficiently cool dip the articles, ella
them, and spread them on q cloth 10 DIR
IN the sun, or before the fire; after dry
ing, make them very damp by sprnklin,
them roll in damp cloth and let then
remain for several hours. Before iron
ing, great pains should be taken in clan
ping, stretching and smoothing the arti
Giles with the hand, lest they become mis-
shapen. This is the most difficult of thi
"important art"

WHEAT AND CLOVER AFTER
CORN.

The Michigan Farmer mentions a
case where a sixty-one acre corn field
was sown with wheat, while the corn
was yet standing, and which was cult
rated in. Late in the fall the corn was
taken off, the wheat at the time covering
the ground handsomely, and it subse-
quently afforded fine crop. A success
full case is also mentioned of sowing
cloverseed among corn. 1t was sown
Immediately before going through the
corn the last time, and followed with the
cultivator. When the corn was harves-
ted the clover was several inches high.
