vne auimal well ted is of more value
than two poorly kept.
The better animals can be fed, and the
more comfortable they can be kept, the
more profitable they are, and all farmers
work for profit.
Sow clover deepi it secures it against
tile drought.
Ground once well poughed, is bette'
than thrice poorly.
Bountiiul crops are more profitable than
poor ones.
Make the sorrich, pulverze it well ,
and keep it clean, and it will generally be
productive.
Weeds that grow unmolested around
the fences, stumps and stones, scatter
their seed over the farm and are very like,
ly to grow.
Cows well fed in winter give more milk
in summer.
An OK thatis in good condition in the
spring, will perform more labor, and
stand ue heat of summer much better
than one that is poor.
When you see the fence down put it up;
ifit remains until to morrow the cattle
may get over.
What ought to be done to-day, do it,
for to morrow il may rain.
strong horse will work all day with
out food but keep him at it and lie will not
last long.
A rich soil will produce good crops With
out manure, but keep al il and ii will taire.
Farmers sons had better learn TO hold
the plow and feed the pigs, than measure
tape and count buttons.
Young ladies who have the good for tune
to become farmers wires, will hnd it more
prof able to know how 10 make Johnn,
cake, butter and cheese, than to perform,
on the piano.
All who wish TO be rich must spend less
than they earn.
Many of the above facts would suit
other classes ust as well as Farmers.
An extract of letter from Bennett o
the N. York Herald.
The race which took place yesterday
is only the second during the present regi-
me. Since the time Of Charles X, these
amusements had been suspended-parti
cularly the steeple chase, which is tho
roughly English in its character. 1t is
now patronized BY the highest French
nobility, and even by The blood royal
The Dec de Nemours, who will probably
be the future regent OF France, during the
minority of the Count de PariS--if reyo-
luton do not again change the dynasty-
was present on The field, together with a
vast number Of peers, deputies, and mill
tary men.
The place selected was at small vii
lage within six miles TO the south ofParis
called the Croix de Beray. About the
hour when the pious Queen, aud the other
devout, were going to Notre Dame and
the churches, TO offer up their de otIon 10
Heaven, the Queens eldest son, the Dec
de Wemours, and The rest of the gay peo
pie of Paris, were driving out TO the stes,
pie chase, in overwhelming crowds. 1t
was a most gloriously disagreeable day.
II had been raining all the previous day
and night, and just cleared away little,
about the hour OF starting to the races

home. The crowds ofcarriages were im-
mense-horses and pedestrians in equal
numbers. There are few refreshments Of
any kind to be found at French races. as
every party generally carries their own
luncii-consisting Of meats, breads, wine
and segars. The first race was to come
off at 2 o clock. For an hour before that
time, the whole company in the carriages
we're engaged in eating, drinking. smok,
iag, talking, laughing, betting, grnning,
and amusing themselves. Some spread
themselves along the grass aud went TO
card playing; but all were in good humor,
and no fighting. Indeed, there were sew,
seral thousand of the police and military
some on foot and many mounted, TO keep
order on the field and TO arrest the re-.
fractory. But the French seem to be a
very enjoyable people, and although they
will talk and argue great deal as ifin a
quarrel, Iet they seldom strike or Eght,
unless 1t be in some rare and glorious
emeHfe or revolution to ohangs the govern
ment or the dynasty. Thes never think
of fights on other grounds, and even pri.
vate duelling among gentlemen. is going
very much out of fashion.
