PROSPERITY AND ADvERsITY.-The
virtue of prosperity is temperance the
virtue of advertisity is fortitude. Pros
perity is the blessing of the Old Testament;
adversity is the blessing of the New, which
carrieth the greater bcnediction and the
clearer revelation of Gods favor. Yet,
even in the Old Testament if you listen to
David's harp, you shall hear as many
hearselike airs as carols; and the pencil
of the Holy Ghost hath labored more in
describing the affections Of Job than the
felicities of Solomon. Prosperity is not
without many fears and disasters; and ad-
versity is not without comforte's hopes
We see in needleworks and embroideries it
is more pleasing to have lively work upon
a sad and solemn ground, than to have a
dark and melancholy work upon light
some ground judge therefore Of the pleas
ure of the heart by thc5ploasure of the
eye. Certainly, virtue is like precious
Odors, most fragrant where they're incens-
ed or crushed ; for prosperity doth best
discover vice, but adversely doth best dis
cover virtue. Lord Bacon. 3D.. ',

Eg An agricultural friend, who return
cd from France lately, informs us that the
farmers there have discovered that by leav
ing portion of their potatoes intended for
seed, in the ground during the winter, and
replanting in the spring is remedy
against the continuance of the various dis
eases to which the potatoe of late years has
been subjected. 1t will be reccollected
that process was first recommended in this
country by Mr.. Roberts. We have tried
this experiment by leaving potatoes in the
ground last year, mulching them slightly
during the winter with brush. When
we dug them in the spring, VIC found the
potatoes perfect and very solid, and have
planted them along side others, kept'in the
cellar during winter. The growth of the
crop gives fair evidence of the superiority
of the seed left in the ground, and from pres
ent appearances, our experiment, backed
by the result claimed by Robert and by the
farmers, is likely to sustain the recommen.

SPRING WHEAT.

| Owing to the present prospective high
price of wheat, any thing relating to its
culture and increase, can be of interest to
our readers; hence we insert the following
letter from a Pennsylvania subscriber;
Eds. Cultivator Seeing enquiries made
Of you in regard to the spring wheat, /
chcerfully send to you what I know of it
practically. Two years since, my brother
living in Illinois, sent me barrel of flour
made from Rio spring wheat, which on tri-
al l found to be equal to over Double Ex.
ira from selected wheat" This called my
attention to it, and the following winter,
on my return from visit west, I brought
homo three bushels for seed, which | SOW
cd about the middle of March, on a corn
field, without blowing having first cutup
and burnt the stalks, and harrowedi it twice
previous to sowing and twice afterwards
Isowed the three bushels on two and a
half acres, and harvested AZ bushels. On
having it fowered, got 81 lbs to the BUSH
el, and the bread was found to retain its
moisture longer than that made from win.
ter wheat
The reputation of spring wheat -four has
been greatly injured in eastern markets, by
the fact that until within a few years, the
majority of the western mills have been
greatly defective; and to avoid the unpop-
ularity, my brother, who is a miller, writes
me they invariably brand all good spring
wheat -four as having been made from win
ter wheat.
If any Of your subscribers should send
to their friends west, for this wheat, tell
them to get it from the farmers before it is
mixed in market, and get either the Rio,
Italian or Canada Club, as the Black Sea
and Portland are quite inferior to those
above mentioned.

The Effect of Cold on Farm Animals.

The Peru (Illinois) Chronicle of the 7th
inst, learns from farmer who resides on
the south side of the Illinois river, some
particulars of the storm on the Goth ult -
His cattle, though they were enclosed
within circle of straw stacks and hay
stacks, were so much suifocated with the
driving snow blast, that they refused to
cat. The snow was driven between the
hairs, and comingin contact with the skin,
aud wait for moment melted, then frozen,
until the whole covering of the animals,
seemed one unbroken armor of ice, which
did not disappear on many for four days
after. The snow melting on their fore
heads and running down, formed huge
iciclcs that passed down over their face, and
reached far below the nose, giving them
the appearance of the beast with the ten
horns-in many instances the broad sheets
of ice falling over their eyes, blindfoldcd
them efectually. Their nostrils were FL
led with frozen snow that had been driven
into them by the violence Of the wind
His barn-yard chickens we're many of them
frozen, and what is singular, in nearly ev-
cry case they were found with their bills
as wide apart as they could be sundered
and filled the mouth with solid ice. He
has driven his teams and cattle over fen
ccs, the snow being on level with them,
and 50 compact as to sustain heavy load.

Lime Water in Bread Making.
JOHN T. RUsHToN.

In bread making the vinous fermenta
ton sometimes passes into the acid, anC
thus rendering the bread sour and disa
greeable' Liebig has lately performed {
series of experiments to improve the prep
aration Of bread, from which he comes tt
the conclusion that the only effective ant
innocuouS means of improving the qualities
of wheat and rye bread, is lime water. In
making dough, he advises one pint of clear
lime water to be used for every five pounds
of -four.
The lime watcris first added to the -four,
after which sufficient quantity of common
water is added to work the whole into good
common dough, the leaven being fixed
with the water.
The lime water prevents the bread from
becoming sour, and is healthy ingredient
Lime water can be prepared by stirring
some quick lime in q vessel containing pure
cold water, then allowing the sediment to
settle. The clear is then to be poured off,
and kept in bottles for use. No care is re-
quired respecting the quantity of lime, and
no more.
Those who use saleratus in the raising
of bread are recommended to cease its use,
and employ pure bakers yeast and little
lime water.
Our bones are composed of hcphosphatc
of lime, and those who use fine -four, re-
quirc for their health little more lime
than is contained in their food. Cream Of
tartar and carbonate of soda are far inferi-
or to common yeast for making healthy
bread.
More cream oftartar, carbonate of soda,
and saleratus are used in Boston in making
bread, in one day, than are used in all Eu-
rope in one year.
1t is the extravagant use of these arti.
cles that is the cause of our young men
and young women having decayed teeth
In France, in the large cities, no one makes
what we in this country call family bread
hence the government is very strict in
their laws regulating the manufacture Of
bread by the bakers. Officers are appoint
ed to keep strict watch over them and il
detected in using, or having in their ba
keries ammonia, saleratus, OF carbonate o.
soda, they are subject to heavy fnc---
We should have such laws in this city
then those ofus who have to patronize tht
bakers, would find the staff of life a muct
better support than it is.--BOstOn Trans

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

A young man eighteen or twenty year.
of age, a student in the University, took ;
walk one day with professor, who was com
monty called the students friend, suct
was his kindncs to the young men whose
Office it was his to instruct.
While they were now talking together
and the professor was seeking to lead the
conversation to grave subjects, they saw an
old pair of shoes lying in the path,
which they supposed to belong to poor
man who was at work in the field and who
had nearly finished his days work.
The young student turned to the profes-
sor, saying 'lct us play the man trick; we
will hide his shoes and conceal ourselves be-
hind those bushes, and watch to sec his per.
plexity when he cannot find them"
"My dear friend," answered the profess
sor, "wo must never amuse ourselves at
the expense of the poor. But you are rich,
and you may give yourself a much great
er pleasure by means of this poor man.
Put dollar in each shoe, and then We will
hide ourselves" :"
The student did so, and then placed him
self, with the professor, behind the bushes
close by, through which they could easily
watch the laborer, and see whatever won
der and joy he might express.
The poor man had soon finished his work
and came across the field to the path where
he had left his coat and shoes. While he
put on his coat, he slipped one foot into one
of his shoes, but feeling something hard,
he stopped down and found the dollar. As
constituent and wonder were set upon his
countenance, he gazed upon the dollar.
turned it around and looked at it again
then he looked around him on all sides, but
could see no one. Now he put the money
in his pocket, and proceeded to put on the
other shoe; how great was his astonish-
ment when he found another! His feel
ings overcamc him and he fell upon his
knees, looking up to heaven, and uttered
a loud and fervent thanksgiving in which
he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and
his children without bread, whom this
timely bounty from some unknown hand
would save from perishing.
The young man stood there deeply affect.
ed and tears filed his eyes.
"Now," said the professor, care you not
much better pleased than if you had play
ed your intended trick"
dearest sir" answered the youth, "you
have taught me lesson now that will
never forget I feel now tho truth of the
words which 1 never understood, "its bet
ter to give than to receive"
We would never approach the poor but
with the wish to do them good.
