BY Frogere's estimate, Is we'll as he could
tell, he had travelled three days and nights.
bis eyes were bandaged % before but IN.
stead Of being led, his guides seized him,
and carried him for some time, until they
placed him upon . wooden bench. He
walled for a few moments, and wondered
why the bandage was not removed. Al
last he heard son whisperings, and then
quick steps approaching. His hands were
suddenly seized and tied behind biz back.
He tremblingly asked what Il meant bu,
received no reply. In another moment bis
coat was torn of his shouldsrs, and his
breast laid bare. Frogere now thought that
eternity, instead Of Siberia, was 10 be the
goal Of his journey. sTako aim!' was the
command Of one whose voice he thought he
knew-.fre! and several shots were at
once discharged, Frogere fell senseless %
the ground. Ho wss raised unwounded,
and whilst he was borne along, he became
sensible Of q division Of soldiers marching
past him. Having been placed upon a
chair, hisohands were unbound, and tho
baadags removed. He then found himself
in the SAND tpom, at tho same table, and N
the same company, where the unhappy bon
mot had escaped him. Opposite 10 him
sat The Emperor. The astonishment, terror,
and doubt which alternately reflected in
the poor actors face, 80 greatly excited. the
risible faculties Of Paul, that the entire
company joined heartily in thS mir,h.-
Frogere fell in swoon. The whole ter.
rible trip had only lasted twenty. Our hours.
The emperor had accompanied him in dis.
gulse all the time, and found immense de-
light in the prisoners painful sufferings.-

domestic animals. end il asserted in the
London Agricultural Gazette--a work Of
undoubted excellence, by the way-that
two horses, in every respect equal, were al.
lowed each FIVE pounds OF oats daily, and
shay enough"-amouniing in all to seven.
teen pounds Of food per diem. For one Of
the horses the grain was cruShed, for the
other not. One hundred parts OF the ex.
crement (solid) Of each horse wero exsmin-
ed chemically, on the fourth day after the
experiments were commenced. The excre-
mont from the horse fed on crused oats con.
tanned no traces Of nutritive matter, but
merely woody fibre, mixed with secretions
and salts. In that produced by the other
animal, ono quarter per cent. Of nutritive
matter. consisting Of starch and gluten, was
found arising indubitably, from the con-
stitutional inability Of the animal to the
perfect mastication Of the grain an evil
that must necessarily vary in the magnitude
OF It's results, with ago and rapidity Of feed
ing. No difference was found in the excre.
ment Of animals fed on chorped and un-
chopped hay, though the facility Of eating
the f1rmer, and the consequently greater
period Of rest obtained, was decided I'D
vantage.
The economy Of food, Of oil descriptious,in in
this country, is n subject OF immense mag
nitude, especially to those engaged in rearing
animals. Corn and other grains, are frequent.
ly fed 10 horses ungruund. Ii is also led 10
swine in the same way. But this bad eco.
nomy. When q farmer produces the corn
he feeds out. he should take il to the mill
~ ht ear, before shelling, and have cob
and corn crushed or ground together. That
an immense saving in the expense Of feeding
and iat,ening most descriptions Of domestic
snimals may be effected in this way. there
can be no question. Accurate experiments
instituted for the purpose OF ascertaining
the relative value Of the two kinds OF food
ground and unground-and also for the
purpose Of determining precisely the COM
parative value Of corn and cob meal pro.
duced by corn alone, prove that while meal,
pound for pound, is OF much greater efficacy
in sustaining animals in labor, than corn in
It's unground or uncrushed state, the meal
produced from the cob and corn il worth
more than firo-,hirds as much as the pure
meal, or that produced from the grain
alone.
Facts Of this nature should have an ab-
sorbing interest for the farmer. Another
method Of economisins in the important
business Of feeding domestic animals, Is
BY cooking or "steaming' Very many Of
our farmers have now their stcaming ap.
paratuses. and where food cannot be pre-
pared by the mill, for their animals, Il Is
prepared by steam. Roo's which pas:
through this preparatory process, are found
to acquire several per cent in nutr'tive
value, and to be much more agreeable to the
animals than in their unprepared state,
especially in cold weather. Gsrmanio'rn

CHALLENGING "oLD sAM.n

I, is said around Washington hotels that
three or four gentlemen are ready TO chal.
enge General Houston when he reaches
Washington. Thisis nothing new. While
he was In the Presidential chair Of Texas
during both his terms in tha, posi,ion) he
was "challenged," perhaps half dozen
times, and since he has been in the United
States Senate, there has rarely been time
when he did not have in Washington, dur

"drop Of hat" He was, by long odds,
the bsst-abused man in Texas, having been
systematically hunted by somo forty or fifty
persons, many OF them having position
there. On one occasion lin that country,
somo fourteen years ago) We asked him
why he took no notice Of the many ohal-
lenges which were then being sent to him.
His answer was that there were hundreds
around him whose path he had occasion to
cross in the discharge Of his public duties,
who, having nothing 10 lose, and for the
most part being desperate men, would will
lingly risk their lives 10 obtain revenge on
him, or 10 achieve the nominal position
which his acceptance Of their challenges
would afford 10 ihsm and further, that IL
he accepted challenge from any ono Of
them, he would thus set precedent that

corn only, he found that he became more
covered with fat, which, filing in around
the muscles, caused him TO look more plump
and round-that he was strong, but more
dull, or less lively. r
The chemist. by his analysis Of these two
grains, finds that there is mos, carbouaceous
or fat forming material in the corn, and
most nitrogenous Or muscle, or in other
wsrds, flesh making material in oats. The
farmer learning this fact, says-'T can make
Il right now" and 90 had his corn and oats
ground together. and fed the mixture to his
horse. >By so doing he became noted for
having handsome horses. They were mus.

satisfactory to the reasoning power, bu.
also profitable in pecuniary point Of view...

DEEP CULTURE AND IRRIGATION

MrssRs EDITORS Some persons suppose
that the water used in irrigation must be
poured upon the plant, or made to overflow
it, or at least overflow the ground (; whereas
the water should. pass up through the soil
by means Of capillary attraction, thus sup
plying moisture in natures own way, and
in nature own quantity. Il is true that
showers are beneficial on the leares occa-
sionally; but the greater portion Of the
water soaks into the soil, to DO returned
to.thc plant as il needs il by the capillary
tubes.
I have piece Of ground Of about two
acres, on which have been making some
experiments the past season, having a
stream Of water from o spring passing
through il. l plowed the ground (which
was sod) in May last, into lands ten or
twelve feet wide, and four furro,rs deep,
by throwing each successive lurrow on the
top Of the last, thus placing the sod at the
bottom and the mellow dirt on the top,
and breaking il up near twenty inches deep.
BY the way, think much Of this mode ol
subsoiling, Us mine was all done with one
pair Of small horses. The dead burrows or
bitches between the different lands were
cleaned out with the hoe, and were filled
with water at such intervals rs II has been
found necessary during the summer for the
purpose Of irrigation. The water was not
permitted to overflow or run OF, but set
tied into the soil, and supplied the plants BY
capillary attraction.
The result has boen very satisfactory
All kinds Of roots are surprisingly large and
beautiful; and not withstanding, The sea-
son has been so dry that nearly all the
gardens in the town have been ruined with
the drought, as well as many trees killed,
still there are beets on these beds that will
measure over two feet in circumference, and
nearly rs long. with carrots; parsnips and
other vegetables in proportion.
One square bed Of Strawberries, set in
hills eighteen inches apart, and transphnted
about the middle Of May last. produced
more than half bushel OF berries that we
kept an account OF. besides what were eaten
from the vines and destroyed by the bids.-
Some OF the berries measured three and u
half inches in circumference.
From one bed that contained nine square
rods, or onc-eightcenth Of an acre, have
been sold about 500 worth Of vegetables
during the summer, Besides the quality
Of the vegetables has not been inferior to
the quantity. Vegetables grown quickly,
and without being retarded by drought, are

The following extract Is from ihe Ameri-
can Agriculluralist.
4 word or two moro in regard 10 ''ca,ch-
ing cold" II IL generally thought that cod
Is taken by changing from warm to cod
atmosphere. This . hardly 80. A cod is
moro the result Of inequality Of temperature
in different parts OF The body. A person
may 40 from warm bed and plunge naked
into q snow bank and not take cold, and yet
become quite sick from merely holding ono
arm in warm and the other in cold wsier.-
The body may DO warmly clothed, and yet
q cold DO taken by having the feet wet, or
slight current OF air blowing upop.sp arm
or upon the head and neck. So q person
may take cold by the side OF blaziMe fire;
because the drah OF air toward the chimney
cools that part Of tho body away from tho
FIRE. One pan Of tho body being clothed
warmer ihnn another part, will disturb tho
circulation Of tho blood, and induce some
form Of disepse classed under She general
name Of "cold."
One Of the most common sources OF q
cold is the getting q part Of The clothing
wet, and thus cooling that part Of the body
below the general temperature Of the sys.

entirely drenched with rain, and by diving
the clothes uniformly, or changing them
entirely, no difficulty will be experienced.
