PREPARING LAND FOR \ CROP

A farmer has field of clayey loan,
which requires weeks work at least to
prepare it for corn, oats, or barley. Now
how ought he to proceed
1t is not uncommon to see such lots
turned over; and the furrow-slce left
day after day, to dry and bake in the sun,
without the least attention till the plow-
ing of the whole field is completed.
Well, what better could he do !
Reduce what he has plowcd to fine
filth while il is moist and easily crum-
bles,-not leaving it to lie one day be-
fore he puts on the harrow or the drag
roller. A small share of labor at this
time will do twice as much to pulverise
the soil, as when it is hardened like an
unburnt brick.
What stop the pillow before finishing
the field -! Farmers that drive ahead
don't do so.
That is, they drive one day ahead,
and leave their work two days behind.
But let me ask what is the use Of plow-
ing land!
The use ! why, to put the ground in
order-you could not expect crop
without it.
Neither ought we to expect more
than half crop when it is only half
pulverised. If we plow 8 inches deep,
and one-half Of this soil is in hard clods,
how much better Is clod on the field
than stone

ON GRAPE CULTURE.

Nh. BArEHAM: For several years
past | have succeeded very we'll with the
Sweet Water grape. My manner has
been to train single vine, or at most
but two, around a pole about eight feet
high. In November prune them close,
cut the strings which foster them to the
pole, dig ashallow trench, bend down
the VINE and cover it with garden mould.
When the frost is gone in the spring,
they have been raised and twined and
tied around the pole.-Last year OBJ
served the oldest vine produced little
fruit, having borne three Or four success
sive years previous. On inquiry found
general complaint that though this
grape, with care, will produce we'll
when young, yet when four or five years
old it fails,

SEES exceedingly fine grapes of the COM
mon hardy kinds, Isabella and Catawbas.
His rule is that grape vines should new
er be over five years old. He therefore
trains up succession of runners, and
as they come on, cuts away the old ones
near the ground. His vines are planted
by the side of an open fence. Across
the top ofthe fence are fastened, by
mailing on the tops of the posts narrow
strips of plank, extending two or three
feet on each side of the fence, and the
vines are spread over these, leaving the
fruit to the full rays of the sun. have

grapes anywhere.

REMARKs.-The above suggestions we
think are excellent. It has long been
found that foreign grapes (Sweet Water,
&c., cannot be raised to any advantage
in this country in the open air, except
on youmg oines--but with good soil and
careful training, few good crops can
be obtained from each planting; and as
the plants are easily produced, the fruit
is well worth the pains.

way negro was arrested by Mr..
Wm. Baker, and temporarily con
fined 10 bis house near Austin. The
negro by some means freed himself
from bis bonds, obtained a large
butcher knife, and inflicted fatal
wounds upon Mr.. Baker and his wife,
Matilda, who attempted 10 re-arrest

Immediately hung by the incensed

A Speck of War.-The Houston
Telegraph Of July 18th says:
Several persons who have lately
visited the town, of Santa Rosa
Morelos, and the Preside, for the
purpose of recapiuring runaway
slaves, have returned. and report
that the fugitive slaves are harbored
BY the Mexicans, and in some instan-
ces force has been used TO prevent
our citizens from recapturing these
slaves. This has SO exasperated the
settlers at the west, that they are de.
termined TO raise force sufficient 10
overpower all opposition, and recap.
ture their slaves at all hazards. Al
the last accounts a large party ol
armed Texans had assembled neaI
Preside, and threatened 10 attack
the townif the slaves were not giYer
up. 1t is minated that there are
not less than 1000 fugitive slaves in
the Mexican towns between the
mouth OF the Rio Grande and PreSi-
dio. .--.t
It is evident that these things viii
not long be tolerated by our citizens
and unless some measures are adop
ted by the Government TO prevent
the mischief, the citizens will arm
themselves and make a foray upon
the Mexican towns TO recover theil
property. Our information is deri
we'd from such respectable sources
that we think there can be LITTLE
doubt that difficulties are brewing or
our western frontier, that may prove
far more serious than those relating
TO the Cuban invasion.
