Curing Corn Stalks.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is not my purpose to
discuss the question whether 1t is best or
not best to cut corn stalks, but to tell farm
ers how have managed to cure them in
the best manner with certainty, ease and
expedition, let the weather be what we
term good or bad In the first place when
cut them lay them on the corn, the butts
highest; and then, if it rains, no water will
collect between the leaf and the stalk. If
placed in this manner a long storm will in
ure them but very little. Secondly, | do
not bind them till they are ready to take
under cover; and then, instead of packing
them in heap to spoil, | put them on the
hay, and no barn can well be filled with hay
so that there will not be room enough after
the hay settles, to spread all the stalks a
down east farmer will have. As soon as l
get the stalks to the place of deposit, or on
the hay where they are to remain, cut the
bands. This lets them lie loose, and they
will dry perfectly. If they are dried some,
they may lie foot deep or more. If cured
and cared for in this way, the cattle will eat
all. They should, as general thing, be
given to cattle by way of change, as they
soon set their teeth on edge, as sour apples
do persons. have sometimes hauled
them to barn before they were much wilt
ed, and set my barn floor full, setting them
as upright as possible, always remembering
10 cut the bands, and keep the doors open
when the weather is suitabIe.-Maine Far

Harvesting Winter Apples.

In harvesting apples, especially those in
tended for winter, they should be carefully
picked by hand in bright clear weather.
All bruises are not only injurious, as tend
ing to decay, but they render the fruit par
= worthless. Some fruit growers pick
the last of September, before
kipe. and allow it TO shrivel a
49, in barrels, as 1t will
der this treatment. Such fruit
II in quality to that well-ripened
y The the tree. In very warm locations
winter fruit is frequently ripe by the last Of
September. Most fruit growers allow their
winter apples to remain on the fruit trees
until October, and become thoroughly ripe.
After picking the fruit, pack carefully
in barrels, and head up closely. The fol-
lowing is the mode of management in this
section. The barrels are piled up horizon
tally in cool, open sheds, or in the shade Of
trees or buildings, and sometimes in open
space, covered with boards laid over the
barrels, to keep off the sun and rain, and
allowed TO remain out till November, till
there is danger of their freezing. Apples
thus managed will escape severe Frost
The thermometer may be ten or twelve de-
grees below freezing; but there is a risk in
leaving them out in so cold weather. When
the weather becomes too cold for them to
be safe out of doors, put them in a cool
cellar Some fruit growers put them in the
cellar Immediately after harvesting. Wheth-
er apples are put into the cellar early or
late, the cellar should be well ventilated in
clear weather, when the wind is north or
west; but kept shut up closely when the
wind is IN other directions. This should
be Practiced even in winter, when there is
no danger of apples freezing.-N. e. Far

The Pot o, Baked Reans.

AAp W u huAou hShhAs
How dear to my heart, on a fine Sunday morning,
When leaping, refreshed, from a virtuous bed,
To find brown platter my table adjoining,
my table with breakfast m aterals spread)-
platter containing, without stint or measure,
luxury suited to station and means,
Which view with emotions of exquisite pleasure,
My darling, my favorite pot of baked beans
My own darling pot,
So invtingly hot,
In thee what glorious treasure I've got!
How of do pause to survey it a minute
How crisp is the pork, how delicously brown
How mady plunge my pewter spoon in III
And gratefully swallow the juicy mess down!
Not the COstest dish, or richest extraction
OF turtle, oerfowing in silver tureens,
Could afford me quarter the high satisfaction,
As doth my dear favorite pot of baked beans!
My beans and pork,
Pm hungry hawk,
And soon will destroy thee with spoon, knife and fork.
How much respect the good soul that doth bake thee,
When HE to the oven my treasure to claim
With shout of wild rapture how gladly take thee,
And poney up coppers to pay for the same!
rush to my garrett and quickly devour it,
Forgetting the world and its treacherous scenes
empty the pot and effectualy scour it,
Pm so desperately fond of pot of baked beans
And when u is all gone,
! sit down forlorn,
And over that bean-pol, so empty, mourn!

Anecdotes of the Past.

Among the distinguished guests called
out at the dinner Of the Norfolk County
Agricultural Society was the venerable Elk.
President Quincy, who related some of his
own agricultural experience, which was
quite amusing. He began by saying thet
old men were said to be panegyrists OF the
past, but if that was the index of an old
man, he must believe that he was young
one, for he much admired the present. Ev-
erything was improved. We have not on
ly greater facilities of travel and of labor,
but of living. When he was boy, it was
great thing to see loaf of white bread.
Their ordinary bread was brown rye, in
large loaves with great difference between
the top and the bottom. The top was pref
ty good, but towards the bottom was a
mass which they used to call ctiRgjG0, be-
cause if one once got large piece In his
mouth, it was great question if he could
open it again.
The orator Mr., Russell, had alluded to
The first Of them that he remem-
the merinO sheep mania. 1t was
- HGapkssEs of Connect
Tf6mbeing a soldier and states
med farmer. He was sent out by
N ashiDgton as ambassador to Portu-
4 gal, where he married Portuguese lady,
whose father is said to have given portion
of $500, 400. With such sum, aud ifnot
so much it was a very large one, any man
might turn farmer. He went into sheep
speculation, and brought over flock of
Merinos. When people saw them and es-
,iaated the value of their feeces, every
body was smiuen with mania for posses
ing sheep. Not only farmers and merchants,
but even the clergy turned their attention
to sheep-not in an ecclesiastical sense
but sheep that could be literally sheared.-
The bucks brought hundred dollars each.
He himself expended $500 for a flock
and did very well the first year, for he sold
to the amount of $4,000, and had a flock
which he estimated worth 5 900 lett. But
the second year he did not do quite as well.
He had 800 sheep, and for five of them,
two bucks and three ewes of full blood, he
was offered 5000, but he refused TO take
it. Pretty soon the fever abated. Sheep
were drug, and before the year was out
he was glad to dispose of his flock for $3.50.
His was a very fortunate case.
One day he met friend, distinguished
lawyer, in State street, in state of great
distraction. He inquired what was the mat
ter. 90, Mr.. Quincy" said he, " l have
hired my 100 sheep pastured in Vermont
the time expired several days since, and
here is a letter dated week ago, saying
that if did not come and take them by
such day he would send them down tc
me, and expect every minute to see them
driving the sheep into Boston. What I'M
der heaven, shall do with them?

Sybiline Oracles.

We recolect having seen, many year
ago, The following extract from an old edi
ton Of Merlin's prophecies. written abou
A. d. ssh. 1t was reprinted in 1850. Ma
ny of our readers may, like ourselves, hav
seen it in times gone by. 1t may anus
them to read it again, and those who hav
never seen it, will find in it some matter
of interest
When the savage is meek and mild,
The frantic mother shall stab her child
ii.
When the cock shall WOO The dove,
The mother the child shall cease to love.
When men, like moles, work under ground,
The lion virgin true shall wound.
~.
When the dove and cock the lion shall fight,
Inc lion shall crouch beneath their might
V.
When the cock shall guard the eagle's nest,
The stars shall rise all in the West.
vi.
When the ships above the clouds shall SAIL
The lions strength shall surely fail.

When Neptune's back with stripes is red,
The sickly lion shall hide its head.

The lions might shall be undone.

SOLUTION.

Verse 1.-The settlement of America
by civilization is clearly alluded to in the
first line. The frantic mother is Britain
America the child.
Verse. 2.-The cock is France, the dove
America Columbia-their union is the
epoch when America shall cease to love
Britain; for so understand the prophecy,
in which there is manifestIy an equivoque,
which is one of the most common charac-
teristics of the ancient oracIes.
Verse 3.-The siege of Yorktown, where
approaches were carried on woykin5in the
earth. In the second line there is another
equivoque. We are told by Mr.. Addison,
in his Spectator, that lion will not hurt
a maid-this at first seems contradicted by
the prophecy, but it will be found that the
epoch referred to, the virgin, or Virginia,
las North America was then called in Eu-
rope,) shall wound the lion, viz Britain,
which shows the precise time when the Or
acles should be accomplished.
Verse Attitudes to the union between
France and America before whose might
Great Britain crouched
Verse 5.-Tbis certainly refers to the
period when France 1.-THE cock) guarded
the home of the Americans 1.-THE eagles
nest, and assisted the States (the stars) to
attain their independence-that is, to rise
in the western hemisphere.
Verse ct is very remarkable that the
properties OF the infammable air by which
balloons first traversed the upper regions,
were then first discovered, and they were
evidently then called ships.
Verse when Americas navy covers
the sea with her red stripes, Britain's pride
will be humbled.
