TRADE against the entire dramatic profession, and

it is, at all events, good vocation that of

also the advantage; and ii point of morals, we
presume that both Z" "vocations" may be set down

pend the statement of the passengers of the ship Pa

THE GREAT THEATRICAL WAR.-MAcREApY YET
IN THE FELD.-Mr. Macready is man of pluck.
He does not intend to give up the ship, at the oc-
currence of the first storm. An announcement has
been made that he will appear tonight at the AS
tor Place theatre, which will be seen, by re-
ferring to the theatrical advertising column, in this
days journals He has been induced TO try his
strength and luck second time, by an invitation
signed by Washington Irving and a number of
other gentlemen, which we published yesterday
requesting hlm to finish his farewell engagement
on the American stage, and assuring him that they
and the friends of order in the country will support
him against all rioters. He has also caused to be
published, series of statements and letters from
Buwer, Fonblanque, and others, residing in Eng
land, completely dsprovng all the charges hitherto
brought against his character by Mr.. Forrest; and
also exhibiting Wikof1's testimony as utterly false
and dsgracetul to that notorious parsonage. These
statements and letters will be found in another por-
ton of this days Herald.
On the other hand, we perceive that the opposite
party, or the "b'hoys," the elementary mo5 of
New York, the rowdes, rioters, or whatever else
they may be called, are also determined to dispute
this question, and fight the battle o. Waterloo over
again, or get well licked into the bargain. Here

on them, and thus Ted TO the cattie.
The oxen worked hard all winter, each
yoke bringing three loads per day, of
more than ton each, from distance of
three miles, and in the spring they were
as well conditioned as i'll the fall.
When corn is raised to be pulled while
green for boiling, the stalks will contain
much more saccha,ine matter than when
suffered to ripcn. The stalks should be
permitted to grow after the corn has been
pulled.
Cornstalks may be grown for fodder,
with much greater strength than hay,
and entirely capable of supplying food
for animals without the addition of grain
any kind, and for mich COWS, it would be
equal if not superior to any other food.
We refer to the method adopted by Mr.
Webb, of Delaware, for the purpose Of
making sugar
As soon as the ears appear pinch
them off, and repeat this treatment twice;
the consequence will be that the juice of
stalks thus treated will contain as much
sacharine matter, as that OF the sugar
cane; indeed, we knew of one expert
ment being made, which gave the iuice OF
eleven degrees of Beaume, while the
juice of the sugar cane is grown in Louis
lana is but nine degrees of Bcaume.-
This mode of growth, however, will only
answer in such districts as from want of
market, find it improbable to false corn
for the ears. When this noise is adopted,
the planting should be early, for the
stalks will necessarily require a hot sun
to cure hem. If cut too late, the sugar
contained in the juice will become acid
before they are E1chonge Paper.

VALUE OF CORNSTALKS AS
FODDER.

The question is often asked, if corn
stalks are Of much value as fodder. We
answer, without fear of contradiction, that
if well saved, and properly used, they
are fully equal to the same weight of hay.
Last year we fed three yoke of oxen
on cornstalks, with the addition OF no
more feed than we should have used
with the best English hay. Our mode
of preparing them was as follows:
The stalks were, cut with the ordinary
cylindrical machine in pieces of half an
inch in length, and placed in hogshead;
three gallons of boiling water, containing
orc gill Of salt. was thrown upon them,
and the top'ofSthe cask covered with
,blanket. The Steam arising from the hot
water, swelled and seftened the corn
stalks to their original size, and when
cold, a little ground feed was thrown up

WHITING SHINGLES.

Piowh handle, and let me whittle sticks with
you short time Now, good John, sit
down on this log beside me. You say
you have good farm-boys and girls
good wife, and pleasant home, tell me,
then. what you work se1hard for?
To get a good kstng.
Well, your oxen, andEour horses, and
hogs ca. that. n But hal ~ you no aim or
object beyohe You ceSeainly cannot be
SO stupid as to for the@ere pleasure
of animal existenceS
You wont to provtde something 70
your children?
That is little better. But, John, do
you give them good education now ?
are you giving them all the advantages
which your means will allow?
Send them to schools winters.
All, John just as [ expected. You
care more to cultivate your land than the
minds of your children. You cultivate
your land well because you desire good
crops, and you know that will bring them.
You feed your cattle well, so that they
may mature early. These are only tenn
porary. But the mind--the immortal
mind-John, which, if properly cultiva-
ted, brings forth fruit through all eterni-
ty-which survives worlds, and is part
of ofimmortality-th that you neglect for your
land--for your hogs, your cattle, and hor-
ses.
Why, my dear fellow, that fine horse
you rode to town yesterday would send
one of your boys to the academy awhole
year; and how much good that would do
him. How much better he would be pre-
pared to discharge the duties of citizen
when they devolve upon him.
You don't see the necessity Of so much
education for farmer. Never acest TO
any better than a common school an your.
life.
John, you are an ass, a downright dolt;
why, man, the world is great deal wiser
than when you and were boys. Then
the minister and the lawyer were the
fountains of wisdom. They, with the
doctor, knew it ALL We consulted them
on all occasions. They married us, and
made laws for us, and thought for us.
But times have changed. The mass be-
gin TO think for themselves. There is
therefore, a greater necessity for more
general and thorough education every
where. No farmer or mechanic should
hesitate for moment, but should strain
every nerve to give all his children the
very best education in his power. Sow
the good seed bountifully. and in due time
it will bring forth an abundant harvest o.
honor to your offspring in your old age
But you hare such a iargeJamily.
No matter. If you really try, there
will be no trouble; for the boys, if yor
give them liberty, will get along will
moderate assistance; and educate then
to be farmers, and marry farmers girl,
for wives. Let them learn a trade if they
like, but don't think of allowing them t
go into the counting room or a profession
The farmers is the only truly indepcnd
ent profession or trade. Don't forget
John, but think and do Wool Gro,Oer
