About the middle Of FEBRUARY,

inches deep and Of sufficient

one inch soil; take the seed from
the bank and brake them into
suitable peices, Of a suitable size
for planting; then spread them
evenly and closely over the bed
and cover with four inches OF
earth and leave them to sprout;
when you find they have sprout-
ed, (say middle Of March, spread
over your land q good coat o sta
bic manure; also SOW broadcast
three hundred pounds Of guano
and one hundred and fifty pounds
Of plaster per acre; plough all
in with a two horse plough, run.
ming close and deep as the horses
can draw II; check Il of three and
q half feet each way, and draw up
hills as large and as high as the
place will admit Of. Let one hand
90 ahead with q stick four fee,
long and two inches in diameter
sharpened to blunt point, ant
make q hole in each hill six inch
o. deep; open tho bed CAREFUL,
and take out tho seed without
breaking of tho sprouts, ant
drop ono piece In each hill ant
cover. When tho potatoes ant
grass come up, run ono iurrov
each way with solid sweep
which will shave Of tho lower hal
Of tho hill-with tho hoe shaw,
ofthe upper hall; In two or thre,

q long rooter, and draw up tn
hill to its first size with a hoe, an
leaving tho top like u saucer; pal
ticularly avoid covering any paI
Of the vine; whenever coverc

My success was owing TO big

all my stock with corn and cob

and hogs; and am well satisfied
that II has saved mo ut least one

all done much better. | feed in

lbs, fed them | Ia bushels per
day, and on 22d March weighed
them, found their weight $3.50.
l fed the meal dry in each case.
This meal feed has not caused any

Mr.. John Haning, Of Chauncey
in this county, uses the milk OF
10 cows for clearing his salt, at
the Chauncey salt works, and was
feeding in the common way, dry
corn in the ear, but got me to
grind corn for him, which meal he
scalded, and fed his COWS not over
half the quantity, he gave in the

"What for?"
aFor us TO eat"
"Well-- but then, why do they
have sheIls5"
This was Il riddle to the little
fellow--that oysters IRE made to
be eaten, and yet are made with
shells to prevent their being eat
en-. Tho same question Of the
intention Of God in the creation OF
things, meets tho student of Ma
ture ut almost every stops.
To every plant has been given
some way Of resisting injury
The blades Of grass have a saw.
like margin. The leaves Of corn
are sharply edged with flint. The
hearbs Of grass are bearded. The
kernels of all nuts are cased in
by a shell to prevent their being
destroyed. And yet there have
been animals made for The des'
truction Of all these. Cows with
rough tongues for drawing grass
into their mouths; horses will
front teeth like sheers for cutting
it oil! and sheep that chop it Of
with their under teeth against
their upper gum, asa hatchc
chops on n block. The teeth o
the squirrels are soltest on tn
inside, that they may not bccom'
to short. In this way they ar
kept keen enough to 60 through
the shell Of a dried butter-nut
tho il turns tho edge ola knife
These selcsharpening teeth wor'
J surely made for chisseling tn
shells Of nuts.
To every animal also has bee
given some means Of defence
Horses have their teeth, and thei
hoofs, aud their speed. Oxel
have their heels and their horns
Even sheep have their wool, an
: some speed, and can butt. Oys
: tors and turtles their shells, an
/ hedge-hogs their qnills.
! But for the destruction G
