Horace Mann on Labor.

4" 1t was not the design of Providence
that the work of the world should be
performed by muscular strength. Goo
has filled the earth and imbued the ele.
ments with energies of greater power
than that of all the inhabitants of d
thousand planets like ours. Whence
come our necessarles and our luxuries
those comforts and appliances that make
the difference between houseless, wan
derlng tribe of Indians in the Far West
and New England village: They dc
not come wholly or principally from the
original, unassisted strength of the hu-
man arm, but from the employment
through intelligence and skill, of those
greet natural forces, with which the
bountlful Creator has filled every part OF
the Universe. Calorc, gravltaion, ex-
FEASIBILITY, comprehcnslblity, electricity,
chemical afiinities and repulsions, spon-
taneous velocItles-these are The mighty
agents which the intellect of man har-
nesses to the car of Improvement. The
application of water, and wind and steam
TO the propulsion of machinery, and to
the transportation of men and merchand-
Use from place 10 place, has added ten
thousand fold TO the actual products oil
human industry. How small the wheel
which The stoutest laborer can turn, and
how soon will he be weary. Compare
this with a wheel driving a thousand
sPlndles and looms, which a stream OF
water can turn and never tire. A loco
motive will take five hundred men. and
bear them on their Journey hundreds OF
miles day. Look at these same five
hundred men, starting from the same
point and attempting the same distance
with all the pedestrians or the equestri-
ans toll and tardiness. The cotton mills
of Massachusetts will turn out more cloth
IN one day than have been manufactured
by all the inhabitants of the Eastern con
tinent during the tenth century. On an
element which in ancient time was SUD-
posed to be exclusively within the con-
troll Of the gods, and where il was deem
ed imPious for human power TO intrude,
even there the gigantic forces Of nature,
which human science and skill have en-
listed IN their service, confront and over
come the raging of the elements-breasl-
ing temPesis and tides, escaping reef
and ice shores, and careering triumphant

Had God intended that the work OF

bones and sincws, he would have given
us an arm as solid and strong as the shat,
of steam engine and enabled US TO

of steamship while sailing TO Liverpool
or Calcutta. Had God designed the
human muscles 10 do the work Of the
world, then, instead of the ingredients of
gun-powder or gun-cottun, and the ex-
pansive force of heat, he would have
given us hands which could lake a gram
lie quarry and break its solid acres into
suitable and symmetrical blocks as east
ly as we now open an orange. Had he
intended us for bearing burdens, he
would have given us Atlantean shoulders,
by which we could carry the vast fieights
of railroad cars and steamships, as por-
ter carries his pack. He would have Civ
en- us lungs by which we could blow fleets
before us; and wings to sweep over the
ocean wastes. But, instead of iron arms,
and Atlantean shoulders, aud the lungs
of Boreas, he has given US mind, a soul
a capacity for acquiring knowledge, and
thus OF appropriatlng all these energies

telescope and microscopic eyes he has
given us power TO invent the telescope
and microscope. Instead of ten theu-

tyated intellect he commands them ALL "

CULTIVATION OF THE RurA BAGA Ann
BELGIAN CARRor.-The argument is
frequently urged on the part of farmers,
that the labor and attention required for
root crops are quite too great, for the
prices that are obtained for beef and
mutton. Now, this is very easy mode
OF disposlng of a question, that requires
something more than mere assertion To
convince man who has repeatedly
found by practical experiments, that no
branch OF farming will afford better
profit than either ruta baga or field car
rots, when grown upon suitable soil, and
subjected TO a careful system of culture
adapted TO those crops. What these
peculiar conditions are, it might not be
improper TO somewhat carefully exam
Inc. II IS useless to plant ruta bagas on
any other than rich soil, which has
been brought into the finest filth by fire.
quent Plowings and borrowings and to
secure a speedy growth of plants, well
iern.ented barn yard and stable manure
should be applied at the rate of twenty
hVe two horse wagon loads per acre.
The manure should be plowed under.
the ground then should be narrowed,
and the next thing 10 be done is the
forming OF the drills with a pillow, which
should be two feet apart from center to
center. The seed should be sown with
a drilling machine, TO be constructed
peculiarly for the crop, and at least one
and half pounds per acre of seed should
be sown, IN all locations where the tur-
nip fly is abundant, and is liable to be
very destructive on the plants, and
Where these, or other equally baneful
insects do not prevail, one half of the
above quantity of seed will be sufficient.
AS soon as the plants put forth four
leaves, an expanding and contracting
steel tooth cultivator should be passed
through the rows dwelling down the
drills, and SO set that the teeth will work
close to the plant without DESTROYING anv
of them. The hand hoe then must be
used to cut out the weeds and partially
thin the plants, A shovel pillow mus,
then be used, and by passing it down
between each row, the drills will be
brought back to thier original shape, and
hne fresh soil thrown up close TO the

Tricks of Animals.

In breaking or managing a horse
however intractable or stubborn his TEN
per may be, preserve your own. Almos
every fault the brute has arises from ig
norance. Be patient with him tcact
him and coax him, and success in time
is certain. There are tricks, hewever
which are the result Of confirmed habi
or vclousness, and these sometimes re-
quire different treatment. A horse
accustomed to starting and running
away, may be eilectually cured, 10y put
ting him TO the top of his speed on such
occasions, and running till pretty thor
oughly exhausted.
A horse that had trick of pulling his
bride and breaking it, was at last redu-
ced to better habits by tying him tightly
TO stake driven on the bank of a deep
stream, with his TAIL pointing to the wa
ter he commenced pulling at the halter,
which suddenly parted over the bank
he tumbled, and, after somerset or two.
and laundering awhile in the water, he
was satisfied To remain at his post in fu
ture, and break no more brides.
A ram has been cured of bunting at
everything and everybody, by placing
an unresistng eiigy in similar posi-
ton the sudden assault on a wintry day
then resulted in tumbling his ramshp
into a cold bath, which his improved
manners took good care to avoid in fu-
ture.
A sheep killing dog has been made
too much ashamed ever to look sheep
in the face, by tying his hind leg to a
stout ram on the brow of hill, while
the flock were quietly feeding at the
bottom. The ram being free, and in
haste TO rejoin his friends, tumbled and
lhumped Master Tray so sadly over the
stones and gullIes, that he was quite sat
isiicd to contine himself to cooked NUT
ton hereafter.
Mans reason was given him to con-
troll " the beasts of the field and birds
OF the air" by other means than force.
Ii he will bring this into play, he will
have no difficulty in meeting and over
coming every emergency of perverse in
stinct or bad habit in the dumb things.

young turnips. In the course Of three
weeks, weeds will again make their APP
pearance, and TO destroy them, the steel
tooth expanding cultivator must be used
as before, followed by another hand-hoe
ing aud thinning, and the shovel pillow
may be used the second time TO form
the drills. This may be repeated the
third time, with advantage in some
cases, but ordinarily twice will secure,
on moderately suitable soil, from 600 to
500 bushels ofruta bagas per acre. The
period for sowing very materially differs,
depending much on the latitude, but as
a general thing the month OF June is the
most suitable, commencing the first OF
the month in high northern attitudes
and ending the last, in latitude forty,
which is as low as the plant can be
probably grown, in consequence Of its
liability TO form a great top and small
roots much south of this parallel. We
have repeatedly given out our ruta baga
crop to be hoed and horse hoed by the
season at five dollars per acre, including
three dressings and Trimmings in the
manner described. As the work was
done by experienced hands, good wages
were made, but uninitated hands under
taking the management of the turnip
crop, and conducting their operations
upon a scale that would secure a full
crop, would require seven or eight dol
lars per acre inclusive of board. This
item of expense Of course does not in
clude blowing, manuring, narrowing,
forming drills, seed and seeding, all OF
which added would bring the cost Of an
acre of ruta bagas up TO twenty dollars,
and afiording a crop of at least 600 and
possibly 1000 busces, worth for feeding
stock, at least l24 cents per bushel.
The management of land for the Bel
gan carrot, is very similar to what is re-
CURED for the rula baga, the former re-
qulrlng, however, a much deeper and
finer soil, and the plants in the rows
need not be thinned quite so wide, but
IN all other respects the treatment may
be tie same. The carrot will answer
for more southerly latitude, and the
young plants are very seldom damaged
by insects. 1t also Yields heavier re
turn, and 1000 bashels per acre is a
common crop.

DESTROYING MILDEw.-MARsHALL p.
WILDER, in a communication Of the
Journal of Agriculture, speaking of mil
dew on grapes, green house plants, and
elsewhere, says. awe have for more
than fifteen years used sulphur for this
purpose, and in no instance hns II failed
to effect speedy cure. We once knew
an instance where mildow, in the space
Of few days, would spread its sporules
over large rose-house destroying nearly
all the foliage Of the plants, and this, by
the use Of sulphur spread on the walks
and over the plants, was extirpated in
short period"

LIqUID MANURE FOR FRUIr Trees.
"A correspondent of Moore's New
Yorker, strongly recommends from his
own experience, the application of the
liquid portions of manure, which are
commonly wasted, to fruit trees, more
especially in very dry weather, and to
those which have begun to be injured
by drouth. He digs cavity round the
tree, pours in the odorous liquid, and
Immediately replaces the earth. An
extraordinary growth Immediately COM
mences, and shoots are forced out in a
few weeks truly astonishing both in
length and size" Soap suds he finds
good but not at all equal to liquid man
ure.

Some fruits attain perfection when RI

to be spoiled if left till that period. This
matter is becoming understood by good

STEALING FRuIr.-One of the best for
the prosperity Of the country is planting
plenty of fine fruit; the incentives are
heavy crops Of delicious Injuries the
discouragements are fire blight, black
knot, caterpilars, borers, yelows, cherry
birds, and bad culture, and when all
these have been surmounted then comes
the irull-thlef for plumber. Some have
endcayored to plant enough for all the
result has been that the thieves have
taken the very best, the first pick, and
left the rest for The owner. Where they
cannot get good fruit, however, they
will take bad, wretchedly bad, rather
than lose their booty. The Prairie
Farmer says, We arc called on yearly
to mourn the loss of some villainously
hard green winter apples, poached in
August" He seems to feel some APP
prehenslons that they may get the chol
era.
