A TOUGH CUSTOMER.

The toughest customer know, is old Bill
" R.who lives on the Tennessee River" some
uior'' on the rapids known as Muscle Shoals.
He is the " hero OF hundred fights" both
with bar" and other " varmints, and with
human critter". Although past fifty, yet he
appears as hardy and active rs ever.

PLANT FOR THE BEST.

There is no way in which so great an i'm
provement can be made, and with so little ex-
pense, as in cultivating the best kinds of II ees
and plants, therefore the farmer should aim to
get the best OF everything plants and
vegetables. Some animals will produce near
y twice as much flesh, or dairy products, on
the same food, as others. Some trees yield
twice as much fruit as others, and so great is
the difference in fruit, that some kinds sell at
dollar or half dollar bushel, while other
varieties will bring ten dollars bushel-
Some pears retail at cent piece or less, 9TH
ers at - 1-2 or % cents each.
Some potatoes yield twice as much as others,
and some are worth twice as much as other
kinds, as to quality and those that yield the
least are not always the best, though this iS We
ry often the case for early use, while those
yielding largely, are often best for spring and
summer.
Some kinds Of corn produce large stalks and
cobs, and but little corn. With other varieties
the reverse is the case and with little atten-
ton farmer may, from the vast numbers of
varieties in the country and the advantage of
producing new varieties, or modifying old ones,
get some to suit himself, in the shape and size
of the ear early or late, with quality that SUITS
as Astounding in oil, starch, &c.-Farmers
should be cautious and pursue the most econ
omical modes of improvement, and at harves,
select the best, and in spring plant the best.

AGRICULTU R AL.
EARLY RADISHES.

Mr.. EDITOR AS the season for commenc-
ing horticultural operations is near at hand,
and people generally are SO anxious to pro-
cure early vegetables, would mention We
ry simple method for raising radishes, which
adopted two or three years since, viz: Take
the sand which you find along the border of
| lakes or rivers, called lake sand. and make a
bed of it from ten to twelve inches in depth +:
sow the seed in the same manner that YOU
would turnips i, etc, then cover the seed with
about four inches. When the radishes have
made their appearance, thin them out proper
ly, and water them frequently in dry weather,
say once day. On account of the sand be-
coming so loose, and the great heat which it
attracts, which is so requisite the radish grows
very rapidly.
Some persons have an idea that there is no
nourishment in this sand, but l know there is
for radishes, if for nothing else, having tried
the experiment myself A piece, or bed six
feet square will produce enough for good
sized family. i should think they might be
raised IN box by putting in sufficient sand,
and boring holes in the bottom, to let the wat
er pass off-When there was prospect of a
frost, the box could be covered with something
The great heat keeps off all the bugs &c., so
that the radish is perfectly sound and clear.
The method of raising radishes, recommend
ed above as the result of experiment, is GER
tainly as interesting as it is novel. 1t in fact,
furnishes an illustration in favor of one of the
most important positions of Liebig, in his agri-
cultural chemistry, which has been thought by
some untenable, at least partially so. Is the
radished formed from a solution of pure SILICA
and water? Byno means. Enough of car
bonic acid, nitrogen, &C., may be furnished to
the root through the water, 10 aid in the de-
velopmcnt Of the first leaf,but who believes
that anything approaching the quantity of car
bon requisite to SO rapid and perfect growth,
can thus be introduced How then can We
escape the conclusion, that il is the gaseous
substance, the carbonic acid absorbed by the
leaves, which contributes mainly to the growth
and perfection Of this esculent, under such cir
cumstances ?-JLaine Farmer

- GOOD NATURE.

Nothing ismore valuable, that's so easily
purchased, than good nature. A man of a
pleasant disposition finds friends everywhere,
and makes friends where people of contrary
nature see only enemies. Good nature is one
of the sweetest gifts of Providence. Like the
pure sunshine, it gladdens, enlivens, cheers.
In the midst of hate, revenge, sorrow and des-
pair, how glorious It's effects. You can see its
operation on every countenance-hear it in
every voice, and feel it in every sense
EIchange Paper.
"a NOtquite 50 fast, my good friend. Your
good nature will very likely be imposed up
on, before you get half way home tonight
and if you do not assume somewhat different
tone, your wife, you may depend, Will take the
reins out Of your hands, and your babies will
laugh at you. We know some people whose
good nature has been their ruin.

A Biz OF HuMoR ABOUT Hoes. We
do not relish truth less for being OCCASION
ally spiced with little humor. The fol-
lowing extract from theReport of Il Com
mittee on Hogs, read before all Agricul-
tural Society down east" contains some
excellent hits
"Again Some folks accuse pigs Of being
filthy in their habits, negligent in their
personal appearance. But whether food
is best eaten off the ground, or from china
plates, is, it seems to me. merely matter
of taste and convenience ,abont which pigs
and men may honestly differ. They
ought, then, to be judged charitably. At
any rate pigs are not filthy enough to chew
tobacco, nor TO poison their breath by
drinking whIskey. And as to their per-
sonal appearance, you don't catch 4 pig
playing the dandy, nor the females amongst
them picking their way up this muddy vii
lage. after rain, in kid slippers.-Not-
outstanding their heterOdox notions, hogs
have some excellent traits Of character.
If one happens to wallow little deeper in
some mire hole than his fellows, and so
carries off and comes in possession gilmore
earth than his brethren, he never assumes
any extra Importance on that account;
neither are his brethren stupid enough to-
worship hlm for it, Their only question
seems to he, is he still hog! ii he is,
they treat him as such.
And when hog has no merits Of his
o,rn he never puts on arlstocratic airs. nor
claims any particular respect on account
Of his family connections; and yet some
Hoes have descended from very ancient
families. They understand, full well, the
common sense maxim, ''eyery tub must
stand on its own bottom

THE SIAMEsE TwINs.-The Siamesc twins
are living in North Carolina as farmers, and both
are married. A correspondent of the Richm ond
papers who has recently visited their home. writes
some interesting details in relation TO their domcs-
tic life.
The twins can chop wood remarkably fast, four
hands being on the AK at the same time. They
also shoot at a mark or game with their four
hands resting on the gun. Thew drive their horses
40 miles to Wilkes, themselves and do any kind
of work about the farm. Mrs. Eng says her hus-
band is very kind to the negroes, and that Chang
is very severe with them. Mrs. Eng is also bet
ter disposed than Mrs. Chang, although Mrs
Chang is the prettiest. Mrs. Eng is very close
and saving; and Mrs. Chang is disposed TO in
dulge in dress and various other expenses. The
twins rarely differ about dress but often differ
in their ideas of purchasing negroes or land. The
opinion of Eng is always the law and Chang read
ily acquicsces-Eng docs all the writing including
the signing of notes and other important papers
Eng IS one inch taller than Chang, and Changs
wife is taller than Eng's.
Some old lady in the neighbordood few days
ago, asked Eng which was the Oldest and he re-
piled that he was Just six months older than his
brother. WE'LL says the OLD lady,1 thought there
was about as much difference, for you are purity
considerable bigger than your brother. They
are both good on joke, and the old lady was
in earnest. They have blacksmith shop on
their farm and shocmakers shop also. saw
good sized frame house that they made, without
any assistance from foundation to roof. AT the
table they both use bench, and each has his own
knife and fork.
asked them if they both expected to die at the
same time and they replied that it could not be
otherwise; for if the same disease did not take
them off at one time the living one would have to
be separated from the dead body, and the act OF
separation would be his death: but their general
impression is that they will both die OF the same
disease. and at the same time Their affection
for each other is very strong. ANY OF the neigh

An IMPROVEMENT IN BREAD NAMING
Persons who are so unfortunate as to be poor
ly provided with those agents of mastication,
good teeth, will be glad to know that there is
a method Of baking bread which obviates the
necessity of hard crust. The crust common
" attached to the loaf is not only troublesome
to such persons, but is often the cause of mach
waste The way to be rid of it is as follows;
When the loaves are moulded, and before they
are set down to rise, take small quantity of
clean lard, warm it, and rub it lightly over the
loaves.-The result will be crust beautifully
soft and tender throughout Thisis not guess
