THE FrsHEREs.-The st. John New Bruns-
wicker of the oath, remarks that "
.Mr Webster labors under the impression
that her maiesiy's government is;about to en-
force the convention strictly, accordiilg.to, the
opinion of the law officers Of England. Ne
believe that such is not the case For sonie
years past there has been tacit understanding
that American fishing vessels should only be ex-
cluded from those bays or inlets Of our coast
which were less than six miles wide, and with
in which American vessels could not fish un-
less within three, miles of the land, either on
the one side or the other. There is not the
slightest necessity for straining the ,termsTof
the convention; for it's notorious that Ameri-
can Vessels pursue their business everywhere
near the shores of these provinces, within three
miles of the land, Where only in autumn they
get the best fishing-and it is to prevent this
flagrant and acknowledged breach of the con-
veiition that the present movements are taking
place, Yankee fishermen themselves wiltnot
pretend to deny that they fish wrongfnlly;--
their usual excuse is, that necessity compels
them, to violate the convention" :.
The following paragraph is fromthe st. John
News ,.
er, we have no doubt but that a. very pretty
quarrel would be made out of this fish story
but.with asensble, practical, business govern
ment, such as is likely to be formed by fusion
ofiparties, as the only possible result of the
present election, tits likely that more moder'
ate means may betaken to carry out the treaty
Regulations, and that the long wished for reci,
procity may be agreed to as compromise" p

RAISING PIGs.-Raising pork, if
made prominent portion of farmers
business, will bring as much ready mon
ey and produce as much nett profit as
any one branch of his business. Breed
ing pigs for market is profitable, and
those of the most approved kinds will
always meet with ready sale at fail
prices. 1t was formerly thought that
there was some risk in attempting to
raise pigs, for it was frequently the case
that a portion of the litter would die
when few days old, and sometimes the
SOW would eat a portion of them as soon
as they were born. But since book
farming" has become so common, remc-
dies have been found for both these evils
and now there is no more risk in raising
pigs than in raising calves. The pigs

Agrifultural.
Save the Rest Seeds.

The season has arrived when some O
the seeds are ripe, and little care i
necessary in their preservation, not only
to prevent their waste, but to preserve
only the best for future sowing. Farm
ers never think of raising a puny, badly
formed calf, pig or lamb to be kept as a
breeder, but make all animals pass Tue
scrutiny of a severe judgment before
thew decide to propagate from them.
The preservation of early, large and per-
feet seeds for continuing creps is no less
;mnortant than that of retaining the
most thrifty and best formed animals.
A gentleman in Maryland gathered
the earliest and largest heads of wheat
from a field and sowed them, gathering
the best and earliest of their produce and
sowing again, and continued the process
three or four years. In recent visit to
that State we collected some heads,
which are now hanging by us, and
measure, beard and all, 10 inches in
length the grain heads being 8 inches.
This wheat is known by name of the
"Code Wheat" taking the name of the
gentleman who had by his pains in
creased the quantity and quality so
much. We cut the samples before us
from the farm of Thomas Blagden, Esq,
of Washington, one Of the best cultiva-
tors in that region, and who is setting
the Marylanders fine example.
A gentleman in Essex county went
through similar process with onion
seed, until seed of his raising readily
sold for four dollars pound, while COM
mon seed was selling at fifty cents. The
great improvement in crop from these
seeds justified the cultivator in paying
this great price.
In our farm stock there are always
some who grow up rapidly and strong,
taking the lead in health and vigor from
the first It's so with plants. A proper
consideration has not been given to this
fact.
There will be succession of seeds
coming to maturity unit the Indian corn
harvest is over, and we are confident
that more attention to this point will
give US better crops hereafter.-N. e.

FATTENING ANIMALs.-The Shakers
Of Lebanon, New Yerk, say, after an
experience of thirty years that in fatten-
ing swine upon Indian corn, one-third is
saved by grinding into meal, and that
one fourth is saved by cooking-boiling
it. This, as we understand it, makes a
saving of e-half-which is somewhat
exaggerated, pro ably-but the saving
is no doubt considerable. There can
be no doubt, that on all farms where
there are considerable numbers of cattle
or swine to be fed, mill and boiling
apparatus, though they might be little
costly at first, would ultimately, and
soon, indeed, reimburse all the expense.
Grind and boil We say, therefore, to all
farmers. The apathy that prevailes
upon this point in general, is very
strange. Farmers are generally slow at
adopting improvements in agriculture
aud agricultural implements, and COM
paratlvely few feed their cattle on cook
ed food, while some kinds of it, are
almost as grateful to the quadrupeds as
to the biped, his lord and master.
