Gor the farmer.

nIrWe gather the following valuable hints
from The Baltimore American Farmer for Feb.
ruary.
WORK Horses AND MULEs.-When their hair
appears dead their hides bound, they should have
a QUAR- Of Buckweat meal, or a pint OF Linsaed
meal mixed in their feed thrice aweek for aweek
or so, and should receive Q or morning in sue
cession, handful Of ashes and 3 or 4 OF. of salt
each-either mixed in their feed or placed III
their trough.
CArrLE.-To prevent hollow horn pour every
two weeks teaspoon(ul Of spirits Of turpenIlne
in the cup between the horns on the top oil the
head. Currying or rubbing them down daily
improves them much and adds TO their comfort.
Curry their names daily, with good feed will pre-
vent their being lousy. Should any be lousy,
wash The crown Of their heads and top OF their
necks with strong brine, then rub 1t dry; then oil
them with fish oil from the head TO the rnmp
along the back bone. Repeat it daily for 3 OF
4 days. A decoclion Of garden larkspur is also
good.
SHEEP.-Bean meal, being the best short feed
to produce wool, should be given them where
the quantity Of wool is the object.
PouLTRY.-Give hens in winter lime, ashes
sand. gravel and fresh meat cut fine, and they
will Law in.winter as we'll as any other season.
Roosters should be changed every two years.
PLANTING ORCHARDS, AND LocUsT AND CHEsNUT
If you have not good fruit orchard, see tc
having one as soon as possible: No farmer has
done his entire duty until he has provided gooc
orchard. Ifyou have not growing on your farm
Locus g. Chesnut sufficient for all fencing Pur
poses, SOW seed of each, (ifyou cannot procure
young sand plant out few acres of them
Don't say it will take too long, or too muct
labor. In 12 years you may cut them dowl
and renew your fences-and every IL years
after you can do the same without further trou
BILE. 1t will add greatly TO the value OF many
farms.
MANURE.-Atend closely 90 your manure
yard; guard against evaporation by exposure 'e
the sun; or to its being washed off by heavy
rains. And add to it much, lime, ashes, sods
,geeds, deposits of privies mine, etc. No mar
ever did or ever will keep his farm in good orde'
for any length of time, without strict attention
to this matter.
AppLEs.-From the Ohio CultiVator, we earr
that John Lewis, of Berlin tp. Knox co. Q. II

PEAcHEs.-The Culiivator says that the peach
buds were all killed 10 the vicinity Of Colum-
bus, during the cold weather during the last Of
January. Here, near the 81 : they are not
killed.
GREEN ASo DRY WooD.-To show the buyer
and seller Of wood facIs respecting it, experience
aud tests prove ihata cord Of green wood con.
iains hogsheads Of water, and the heat wasted
in eyaporadng that wafer would bring 10 boiling
heat l3l hogsheads. That cord Of ordirary
dry wood contains one dUauer It's weight 10 wa

GENERAL FORD'S SPEECH.

The speech of General Ford, at the late
Wing State Convention, was full of sound Wing
doctrine-plain, practical common sense-dis-
tinguished for its bold and truthful denuncia-
ton Of wrong, and its clear and explicit asser-
ton of right. There was no fine figures of
speech, or rhetorical fourshes-no "clap-trap"
phrases of promiscous gesticulation. He spoke
TIE words of "truth and soberness," and his
manner was plain, earnest, and dignifed.
As his speech has not been published we
shall attempt 10 furnish our readers with its
principal topics, from few hasty notes not ia
ken with view Of publication.
After an appropriate expression of his thanks
for the nomination rendered him by the Con.
vention, and his acceptance thereof, Gen. Ford
said:
That the Wings had come here to-day, con-
tending as they always have done for the rights
of the people--as did the Wings of the Revo-
luton, resist and denounce the usurpation OF
power 10 the in the hands of tyrants, so do the
Wings to-day resist and denounce the usurPa-
ton Of power by The present ADMINISTRATION

MUSIC,
BY II. H. CLEMENTS.

Pearl Of the hearts mysterious deep,
In whose pure realm thy breathings lie,
So1 as the dream Of infants sleep,
Or thought in high iestiviy.
Thou comest with new joy to lay
Thy hand on the cold heart OF care,
And fill the sunny aisles OF day
With light such as they seldom share
Upon the soul thy yearning falls
Like summer winds on whispering flowers,
And from the buried past recalls
The memory of her golden hours.
Thou roam'st the cold, wide world afar,
Clothed in the many hues OF sound,
Triumphng, like the morning star,
Within its bright aud azure bound.
The ritual Of the sullen main,
That fingers in the murmurng SHE'LL
Repeats with many a solemn strain
The wondrous influence of thy SPELL
The anthem the resounding sea,
Sings wildly on the lonely shore,
Is burthened with the mystery
Which all thy varied voices pour.
Like fires within the northern climes
That light our earth with roseate glNw,
Through earth's remotest bounds thy chimes
OF love and beauty ebb and flow.

TRY lT.-A farmer who is famous for hay-
ing good fruit, says he raises his fruit in the
following manner:--Ic takes a cutting from the
best Tree he can find, puts the end Of the cutting
into large potaloe, and sets it in the earth, lea
wing but one or Two inches Of the cutting above
ground. The cutting soon sends out roots and
grows rapidly, making fine tree, which needs
no graliing.

THOU DOST NOT LOVE NE.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

Thou dost not love me. Take away
Those arms that twine aroand me:
l thought thee true as tongue can say;
l think thee-what I've found thee.
Go, take to other maids thy kiss,
Nor deem of me so lowly,
That could stoop my heart to this,
A love SO false, unholy.
will not have thine arm so fond,
Nor hear thy tongues deceiving'
Oh! what are words when all beyond,
Is full of deepest grieving!
Take, take thy false, false kiss away,
Those eyes, those looks, that chill me;
| cannot, will not, dare not stay,
Thy falsehood else will kill me.

The STATE CoNsTITUTIoN.-The locofoco
State Convention declared in favor of Con-
venton 10 form new Constitution Of Ohio
The CIermont Courier says that the Ohio Sun
is out, in an article Of two columns in length,
advocating a Convention, chiefly "on the
simple fact that the State is now in the hands OF
the Whigs!" The Courier says:-"By Con-
vention and new Constitution The State Gov
ernment would be revoIulionized, and in that
event. locofocoism, which is now dead and bu-
ried in Ohio, might stand some chance for res
direction; at all events, it could not lose any
thing, and might possibly profit trifle by the
experiment. Hence the locofocos are for q
change. When they were gerymandering the
State in '36 and 40, they never thought Of the
blessings of new Conslitution--never! 1t is
an idea of very sudden developement, and has
the remarkable merit of being modern sugges.
ton of that party. Just now, they are fresh
for a new order Of things. Ali very remarka-
BILE subterGuge! The people are quite well sat
isfed with the present Constitution, and are by
no means anxious TO disturb the settled state ol
affairs. Men of sense should remember and
endeavor to profit by the Foot's epitaph, 81 was
we'll, wished to be better, took dhysic, and here
| lie." Let our verdant neighborS reflect upon
the moral to be drawn from this epitaph, before
they press the subject too far. All are not YET
dead who may earn the honor of similar in
scription. Let we'll enough aIone!"
The "OId Hunker" portion of the Locofoco
party in New York, have held their State Con-
vention at Albany. They have issued an ad
dress, denolncing the "Barnburners" as tra
tors-the Wilmot Proviso as unconstitutional
and its adoption destructive to their party--de.
caring the war to be just and necessary--and
that they 90 for the conquest and annexation o.

SUPPRESSION OF THE JEsuIfs.-A let
ter dated Rome, April l, to an English
paper, says: @ 4rr,s
"Amid the clash of arms and the din Of
European tumult, silent but significant
event has just taken place here, which in
other times would have claimed full
page in contemporary annals. The Soci-
ETY. of the Jesuits has been finally order
ed to quit the Capital of the Catholic
world, and their colleges suppressed, and
their headquarters removed, with general
and staff, out of Rome. Where they will
next set up their central banner, is puz-
zle. Not in Italy, most assuredly, every
one Of the various states of the peninsula
having shown marvellous unanimity in
considering them the agents Of Austria
and the foes of freedom. Yesterday Car
dinal Costracance received the orders of
Plus TX, to communicate to General Root
haan, Gan honest Fleming the decision Of
his Holiness; to the effect, that they must
march bag and baggage out Of this city,
and giving him and his associates reason
bic delay to pick up. The vast property
which had fallen into the hands Of the So
cicty for the last thirty years, during
which they had the undisputed control
over the consciences of the rich and no.
blest of the land, is to be now transferred
to the administrative capacity Of Cardinal
Vizzardelli.

who are not willing to oppose the treaty
by direct vote, intend to defeat it BY
breaking the quorum, whenever the ques-
ton is put.
The paragraph in the letter relative to
the sermon OF the Padre Sanchez is at this
moment very important. 1t was suppos-
ed, that in consequence Of the amendments
made by the Senate Of the United States
to the clauses oil the treaty relating to the
recognition of the Mexican church, in the
territory proposed to be coded to us, that
the clergy would oppose the ratification Of
the treaty, or at least require that the
clause be reinstated. Not SO, however.
Your correspondent is right in represent
ing the Padre Sanchez as the organ OF the
clergy, and great majority of them favor
the ratification Of the treaty as it is. The
clergy Of this city, fearing the inability Of
Pena Y Pena to raise the forced loan Of
$l5O,OOO to 5000, 900 in Queretaro, for
the purpose Of assembling Congress and
supporting the Government, (which, when
translated, means for the purpose of brib.
ing the refractory Congressman held
meetings in the Cathedral to-day and yes
terday, over which the bishop presided
for the purpose of discussing the proprie-
ty or expediency Of advancing the sum re-
quired BY Pena y Pena, and to-day they
resolved upon loaning the money from the
funds Of the church. | understand the
whole sum will be sent to Queretaro to-
morrow. These facts, to my mind, settle
the question as to whether the treaty viii
be ratified or not, in the affirmative.
