Z An Elegant Extract.

The sea islthe largest Of the cemeteries,
and its slumberers sleeps without a'mon-
ument. . All grave-yards in ali other lands,
show some symbol of distinction between
the great and the small, the rich and the
poor; but in that ocean cemetery the King
and the clown, the prince and thGspeasant,
are all alike undistingnjshed. The same
wave rolls over aA-the same requiem is
sung by, the minstrslsy of the ocean to
their honor. Over their remains the same
storm beats, and the same sun shines; and
there, unmarked, the weak and the pow
erful, the. plnmed and the unhonored, will
sleep on, until awakened by the same
trump, whenathe sea will give up its dead.
| thought Of sailing over the slumbering
but devoted Goodman, who after q briet
but brilliant career, perished in the Presl-
-dent-over the laughter-loving Power who
went down in the same ill-fased vessel,
we may have passed. In that cemetery
sleeps the accomplished and pious Fisher;
but where he and. thousands of others ol
the noble spirits Of earth lie, mo one but
God kneweth. No marble rises to point
out where their asnes are gathered. or
where the5lovers Of the good or wise can

can tell where lie the tens oil thousands
Of ,Africa's sons who persisted in the

hath ornaments of Jehovah. Never can

Clipping Horses.

The Rural New Yorker in an article on
the subject OF the cleanliness and comfot
of horses, thus slludes to the method now
praclicel by soma horsemen, ,sof clipping
the hair from the bodies Of their anitnals
y $50 necessary is il considered in En-
gland that the horse should be rubbed dry,
ihata practice has been adopted. and now
prevails very extensively, of clipping thu
horses-thatis is to say, the hair is cut off
as short as possible with a pair OF shears,
and then, with an instrument somewhat
similarsin shape to curry comb, con.
tanning some burning fluid generally nap-
tina, or spirits OF turpentine, the hair is
burned off completely, leaving the body
as smooth and as destitute Of hair as a
newly shaven chin. The rapidity with
which the practice has been extended
proves practical value. We know prac-
teal farmers, who were at first so strongly
opposed 10 the practice that they laughed
,at the bare idea ofihe subject, and ye
these very men having been induced tc
Try it, declared that their horses could stand
rs much again work, as with their coats
on. and that they would not let thei
horses go unclipped in winter on an
consideration. Stage coach and carrisgs
horses, hunters, and farmers hacks, ar,
now generally clipped, saving animmens,

The Farmer,

In animportant sense,. the farmer is the
benefactor of his Race5 To,him. all -olas-
ses and conditions of society are indebted.
for their daily bread. His constant ezt
ertion suppiiesathe ..frngA. tase',s Af the
lowlest cot, as all things nes hf s0f The
sumplaous feast IN the PalaceNot The King !
He is the worlds prowder, and all are.
under ob!iga,ions,o him. Such is the re-
latioA Of the farmer 10 society,-a relation,
which, wereit more generally acknowIed g.
ed, would enable him TO occupy much
higher positions, both Socially and politi-
cally, than is asuaily assigned him.
The disrepu,e into which manual labor
has fallen, and ths little Importance at.
tached to agriculture, as one Of the hon.
foreble pursuits of life, by those who exert
|.a controlling influence on the public opin-
ion, nave created distinctions in society,
wholly inconsistent with our best interests,
and directly opposed to the harmonious
development and improvementof the race.
The causes of these distinctions, and the
influences tending to perpetuate them. are
( so evident, that the remedy a: once sug-
gests itself. Society must be reformed;
and, as those engaged in agriculture form
by far the largest portion Of society, the
twork must begin with the agricultural
community. The estimate which the far
mer, places upoa his occupation, tends,
in q great measure, to elevate. or impress
him in the scale of being. There is2dap-
ger sf too low an estimate being made ol
tits Importance. even by those who are
most interested in it. We know OF no
profession which is more useful, honorable
Pand independents; nor is there any .pur-
suit which opens a wider field for patient
scientific investig alton. and useful and
entertaining knowledge than agriculture
! If the cultivation Of the soil has been re.
lgarded as an inferior occupation. the pur'
suit itself is not blameable. The eleva

Those who fill it; and especially is this

fo Prevent MIX from souring.

E=A-correspondent Of the Ohio Farmer
gives the following plan:
"Agteeabfe TO your request, | will give
an account OF our experience in the dairy
business, in preserving milk from souring.
We have kept from fifty to hundred and
fifteen COWS for several years, and have
milked seventy the past season. We
strain the milk at night into q tin vat. fset
into wooden one, into which we pump
cold water for the purpose Of cooling it.
That. is kept sweet until morning with
very little trouble. when we, strain in the
mornings milk, which is warmed suffi-
'ciently by heating the water in the wood
en- vat. Thus we proceed until Saturday
night, when the milk is set. and ihe curd
made, and made into cheese.
Sunday morning the milk is strained ia
wooden bowls, which are painted inside
and out with thick coat of paint, smooth
and hard, and set in a cool place on the
cellar floor, where it keeps sweet unit
Monday, whenit is skinned and made
into cheese. The result has been, tha
we have not lost bowl of milk for ths
past summer. ~

4 Strawberries.

The month Of April is the best time 10
plant strawberries in the whole year.

have these, trench the soil two feet deep,
mixing in very liberal dressing of either

stable manure, then, when you are trench
ling, bury sthia stable manure in the lower
spit, 81 g.. theloRAr Of the two feet trench
ed give It atgood manuring, you
should trench in as, much stable manure
as will be equal in balk TO one third Of this
lowerfoot OF ear.h..z The reason for trench
ing it among the lower spit is, that lmay
be decomposed before the roots Of the
Strawberries rreachcit.4 IL mixed, with the
| top spit, iii would do more hasmthansgood.
Having thus trenched and manured the
soil, form il into 'bsds three and g half feet
wide. Draw three lines engthwise through
the beds; and set ahe young plants along
these, aboursfours inohess apartsst During
