CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE FARMER
Farmers furnish food for the millions Of non-
producers who congregae in the cities and
towns, on the ocean, in the factories and
work shops; and the quantity of agricultur
al products consumed, depends upon the
prosperity ofith0se consumers. lntemper-
ance is the great source of poverty-the
pregnant reason why so many of tie labor
ing masses of the cities and large towns, in
deed everywhere. live in poor tenements,
huedled together like sheep-why they are
poorly fed and scantily clothed-why chill
dren are barefooted and half naked-why
the laboring poor eat but little bread, meat
butter, cheese, fruits, and those Of the poor
est-why they have such small amount of
furniture in their houses-why SO many of
them have neither credit to purchase nor
money to pay for the higher comforts and
conveniences of life. There are to day, in
the State of New York, one hundred thou
sand men, women and children who are
pinched for the absolute necessaries to sus-
tain life-who can command only the simp-
lest elements Of bare existence. There
are twenty thousand dwellings into which
want stalks through the DOORS looks into The
!. windows, and nestles in cold, and hunger
and desolation around the hearth. Banist
intemperance, shut up the grog shops, anc
the millions that labor pays into these ab
sorbents Of the wages Of toll, would b
turned to the furnishing of better homes
better clothing and more Of it-better eve
f ry thing that adds to the comforts and con
veliences of life. It would put money il
the purse of the laboring masses, and b

prosperity, furnish vastly more abundau
! market and better prices for all the variou
productions Of agriculture. All this the il

REFUSING TO DRINK WINE WITH
WAsHINGToN.-Wha a man refuse to
drink wine with the immortal Washington
Yes sir; the man positively but politely
refused, and compromised neither his dig
nifty nor honor.
It happened in this wise. Towards the
close of the revolutionary war, an officer in
the army had occasion to transact some bu-
siness with General Washington, and re-
paired to Philadel phia for that purpose
Before leaving he received an invitation to
dine with the General, which was accepted,
and upon entering the room he found him
self in the company Of a large number of
ladies and gentlemen. As they were most
ly strangers to him, and he was of a natu-
rally modest and unassuming disposition,
he took a seat near the foot of the table,
and refrained from taking an active part in
the conversation. Just before the dinner
was concluded, General Washington called
him by name and requested him to drink a
glass of wine with him.
you will have the goodness to excuse
me General was the reply, as | have
made it rule not to take wine
All eyes were instantly turned upon the
young officer, and murmurs of surprise and
. horror ran around the room. That per.
son should be so unsocial and so mean as tc
never drink wine, was really too bad, .bu
: that he should abstain from it on an occa
sion like that, and even when offered t
: him by Washington himself, was perfect,
intolerable! Washington saw at once tn
q feelings of his guests, and promptly ad
: dressed them:
: Gentlemen said he, our friend j
! right. do not wish any Of my guests t
u partake of anything against their inclin;
ton, and certainly do not wish them t
y violate any established principle in the
q social intercourse with me. I honor hir
y for his frankness, for his consistency
= thus adhering to an established rule whic
can never do him harm, and for the ado
" ton of which, have no doubt he has goc
y and sufficient reasons

e e ent day would have taken the same ma

In answer to the inquiries of O. W. We
would suggest that the profitable use Of green
nanures is. as be supposes, dependent in |
soil For fnll account Of their action. we
refer to.the head, Green Manures, in our
regular series of articles in. former volumes.
Soils that are vet and sour, are not i'm
proved BY the plowing under Of green crops;
but for soils properly under-drained, or those
which are dry, and are deficient of organic
matter, In the absence of cheaper source
OF supply. green manures may be >proEtahly
used, and in England. with such soils. the
fsrner, are IN the habit .Of plowing under
turufp tori bef9re sowing 70 wheat IA the
autumn. In this country, clover or buck
wheat is more generally used, and in some
cases the ordinary field pea.
Those green manu-es, of course, should be
| selected which receive the largest amount of
their constituents from the atmosphere, as
such will give greater amount of carbon to
the soil, and such also as are apt to be deep
rooted plants. thus bringing inorganic con-
stituents from the sub-soil, and depositing
them by their decay in the surface-soil.-
Field peas are often used for this purpose,
and we have known Indian corn stalks to be
plowed under with admirable effect, partic
ularly in soils fairly charged with clay.
In heavy clay soils, where ridging and
back-furrowing are used, leaving these ridges
for disintegrarion during winter by frequent
freeSlngs and thawings the blowing under
Of green crops SO as TO occupy the centre OF
these ridges, is an admirable practice; for
as they decay they leave channels for atmos
pheric circulation and with the addition OIL
the freezing of the ridges during winter, the
spring finds the soil not only freer to work
but in lively heart for earlier vegetation
and this is particularly true when sub-soi
plow is run between the ridges in early spring
to great depth, afterwards splitting tht
ridges with two-way plow.
As we have before remarked where mucl
of a good quality can readily be procured. i
is cheaper, after proper treatment for th
: renewal of organic matter in the soil, thar
the plowing under Of green crops, as. mos
: such crops have value greater than the cos
