FEEprrG Hoes AND RAISING POTATOES

FEEDITG Hoes AND RAISING POTATOES
One of the best farmers of Orange county
has for many years past, fattened his hogs
and raised Irish potatoes on the same piece
of ground, lot of about three quarters of an
acre. It's very common practice to have
a lot FOR fattening swine in, which is used
for that and no other purpose, year after year.
Thus large proportion ofthe most valuable
manure produced on the farm is entirely
lost, whereas by the above plan it is all saved
The ground needs to be plowed and harrow
ed twice or o!tener, in order to make it mel
low, after which it is hardly needful to say it
brings the best of potatoes. years after year,
without any other manure. Those who are
not in the practice of feeding their hogs on q
floor pen, would do well to think whether
they cannot adopt the plan with profit. At
any rate every farmer should see that his
hog manure is not lost, for certain it is there
is no other more valuable.
practical Farmer.

You must have received the news of the
death of the Emperor Nicholas by the steam

the mercurial people of this meridian. Louis

was delivered to him at his dinner.table at
Boulogne, and he instantly communicated
the contents to his company, without en-
phatic remark or visible emotion. should

the falling of his eye-lids, which seems in

BEANs.-Beans are not cultivated as ED
crop, to any great extent, in the West. Our
farmers are apt to esteem the cultivation of
such crops Of small Importance; but in fact
they are not Of small consideration. Small
things enter into the composition of large
ones, as well in the economy of the indvidu.
al as in the wealth of a people. And to be.
come really independent, we must not de-
spise the day of small things.
1t is laid down as a rule by those who are
expert in the cultivation of beans that any
soil adapted to the production of corn, will
produce good crop of beans. This is a
general rule, which will apply to our Wes-
tern farmers very well. The land should be
put in good order, and the seed in the ground
by the middle of June, at the farthest. They
can be planted by michine, as corn is
planted; or dropped and covered by hand.
bushel of seed Is sufficient to plant an
acre.
II the ground be properly prepared the bean
will not require any more attention than corn
while growing. Keep the weeds down, and
the soil loose. The crop will usually attain
maturity in about three months. In har-
vesting. it is usual to pull up the stalks, aboul
the time one-half the pods become yellow
After pulling, they are thrown into win-rows
and exposed to the sun and atmosphere for q
day or two, and then turned over, and per.
mitted TO remain until the beans are cured
They are then.raked into lunches and pitch
ed upon a wagon or cart and hauled to the
barn. The should not be housed, however
until perfectly dry, else the beans will have
bad color. Threshing should be done with
nails. though it is frequently done with
horses.
The average yield Of an acre Of beans, is
about Is bushels, which will readily com.
mand, any season, 81 per bushel. The usua
cost OF producing an acre of beans is
So. Wheat may be sown after beans to ad
vantage.

MILK SIcKNEss.-Dr. Hall, in the last
number of his Journal of Health, states that
milk sickness in unknown in families where
the cows are well fed. Such cows, he ASSERTS
never give milk sickness. He has reveled
in the use of the most lucsious milk for weeks
in perfect fearlessness of this sickness, while
several persons died off on the next farm.
Some persons have attributed this disease
to vegetable which the COWS eat, but he
tells our western farmers that if they feed
their cows well they will never be troubled
with the milk sickness.

The consistent Journal of yesterday apol-
ogizes to Messrs. Krats, Kron and Heddrick,
councilmen elected. He had previously
complImented the other two democratic coun-
cilmen. He has also apologized to Walker.

and most villainous charges. To-day we
presume he will beg pardon of all the consta.
bles and say that he did not know that it was
his friend "Cris," that had been elected con-
ST able at all, or he would not have made
such charges "sure." He is a whipped dog,
and with his tail between his legs, he is lick

If the Enquirer could possibly be induced
to initiate our example, in correcting errors
where mistakes are made in statements, it
might possibly receive the confidence of at
least half dozen of the citizens of Evans
vile. We said in view of what we conceiv-
ed perfectly reliable information, that Mr..
Kratz, the newly elected councilman from
the 9th ward, could not read or write. On
the positive assurance of his partner, we cor
rected the error, and said we were mistaken,
but that the statement would have been
true short time since, and we much re-
GREETED his election over Mr.. Allis, who has
SO much better qualifications for the office
Such apologies we ever stand ready to make
and no one but moral COWARD would have
any hesitation in making such corrections
or would blame another for rendering justice
to others. The Mr.. Heddrick elected was
not the man whom we declared unknown in
this community, and so we said. AS for Mr.
Walker, if we have made any apologies tc
him, we should like to see them pointed out
There is marked distinction between cor
recting errors and making apologies. w.
never apologize for anything, simply becaus.
we never say anything but what at the time
we believe to be true, and no man shoult
apologize for utterng what he copceives t.
be truth. We fatter no German or Irish
men, or men of any other nativity. We tel
them the honest truth, and whether this b,
construed into fattery or abuse, makes NJ
difference to US. We are not amenable fo
false constructions upon plain language. blu
we stand publicly and privately responsible,
for every word uttered in the Journal rela
tive to any man or set of men. We despis,
anything else but this independence, and 70
that reason contemn the course of the En-
quirer and in this perfectly agree with thu
great mass OF the people of Evansville.

LAND WARRANTS UNDER THE New AcT.-
The Washingt Star of the 10th SAYS:

The Washington Star of the 10th says:
"We are told that numbers Of persons are
under the impression that the Land and Pen.
sion Offices are prepared to issue land war;
rants at once to those entitled to them under
the new bounty land bill. This is a mistake
and the sooner this erroneous notion is cor
rected the better it will be. We understand
that the Commissioner of Pensions will not
be prepared to issue these warrants for at
least three months to come. The plates are
yet to be engraved, the blank warrants print
ed, the clerical force increased and other
necessary preparations to be made. The
act giving land to those who served in tie
Mexican war, passed Sept, 1850 the first
land warrant under this act was not issued
until January IL, 1851, more than three
months after the law passed. We presume
it will take at least as long to get new war
rants ready"

A SHORT AND SENSIBLE SPEECH. In the Sem
ate shortly before adjournment, Nj. Clay
ton, in the course of reply to a member who
talked loudly of disunion, said: "You talk
OF disunion. If you Senators-you, and each
OF you-and the Representatives in the 9TH
er House, should resolve here that the Union
be dissolved, the great body of the people are
80 attached to the Union that they would
come here and hang you all, or else throw
you into the Potomac" That was a good
shot, and will doubtless diffuse some new
ideas into the brains Of certain Senators who
have been too long oblivous to the fact that
the people have something to say on the sub
ject of dissolution.

WELL. H. WALKER.

We think Mr.. Walker has a very bad me-
mory. That which we published yesterday,
was precisely the substance Of Mr.. Walkers
remarks to us. Even yesterday. and in the
presence of several persons, he blamed the
the Enquirer emphatically for its course to-
ward Todd, and said ithad caused him (W.)
the loss of many votes. We repeat, and shall
repeat it as often as Mr.. w. chooses to
publish card, and with the full assurance
Of its truth. just what we said yesterday,
that "Mr. Walker told us before the result,
was known, that if he were defeated or run
behind his ticket, he should lay the whole
blame on the Enquirer. He said its ndvoca.
cy of him had injured his vote-that its
course was wrong and impolitic, and its
abuse of Todd did Todd good" We told Mr.
w. yesterday that we withdrew no part OIL
the statement, knoping it to be entirely cor.
rect, whatever his impressions might be-
Nor did we think his corrections of the re.
port of his remarks, wers material enough
to make him object seriously to the report
itself. Mr.. w. has made much the same re.
marks to others about the Enquirer, which
he did to US. We do not think he has any
cause to De ashamed of such sentiments.
They are felt by nine-tenths of his own par
ty in view of Halls course.
