AGRICULTURAL
How to Make ore Farm Equal
TO Three.

@. T. Stewart, Esq, in a recent address
before the Ohio Agricultural Society thus
speaks ON this subject:
Many farmers are destroying the prodnc'
t~iyensss Of their farms by sha!lo" worE.-
AS they 6nd that their crops ere diminish
INC, they think only Of extending their acres
by adding acres Of surface, as if they sup
posed their title deeds only gave them a
ri,ht TO six inches deep Of earth. Ii they
viii take those deels, study their meanings
anil amply the lesson in their fields, they
will soon realize in three fold crops the fact
that the law las given them three farms
where they supposed they had only one: IN
other words that the sub soil brought UP
ana combined with the top soil, and enrich
"a with the atmospheric iuf Fences, ana
,hose other clements which agricultural
science will teach them 70 apply to their
ground, will increase three fold the meas
ure Of their productirenesa.
m show to what extent the fertility OF
he soil can be increased, I refer to state
mani in the last Pstent Office report. In
the year 1850, there we're nine competitors
Tor the premium corn crop Of hentncky'
each Of whom, cultivated ten acres. Their
average crop was about l22 bushels per
acre.
The average of wheat per acre in the h'F'
vest Of Great Britain, CT, soil cultivated tor
centuries, is about double that produced on
the yirrin soil of Obs. Why is thjs:-
Simply because British farmers orc cduca.
led men aud apply work 7ieely-they pay
back Is the earth what they borrow; they
cndeavor by every moans in taeir po"er to
enrich their ground. and in turn it enrIches
tEem.
If our farmers instead Of laboling TO 4ou
BILE their acres, would labor to double thei
creps, they would find it a vast saving Q
time and soil, and en- increase of profits.
Manv Of them never think of d!ggini
Zen inches into The soil unless they hay
dreamed about a crock Of gold hidden j
the earth; but if they would set aboWt tn
week of digging in earnest, every ma.
would find his crock Of gold without the
aid Of dreams or divinati9n.
We have great advantage over Brids]
ID the fact our farmers nearly all hold til
lands which they cultivate in fee sinp!t
while in England they are chiefly tenants
hiring the land Of the nobility, paying eror
nous rents to the proprietors, besides hea
VI taxes to the government. Taxes cr
comparatively light and our farmers ar
their own land lords; hence they have bee.
abs to pay three fold wages for labor
those ii Europe, and pay the cost of trans
portation, and yet ualersell the British fas
mers in their own market.

SOMETHING OF A BEAR SToRY,-A gentle
man who has travelled in Texas, tells the fol-
lowing of one of the first settlers in Austin
county, of that State, and which of course, is
vuuched for as being literally true. ...
In the summer of 1927, he said he was en-
gagged in getting timber in the Brazos bottom,
and the cane being so thick, he had to cut a
pathway through some fifty yards to get TO
the best tinlbe: trees, and as was customary
in those DAYS, no one ever went from ihSir
houses without their rifles. Having occasion,
one day, TO come out of the brake to see
some neighbors, who had rode as near rs
they could without riding in the cane, he left
his rifle, and walking over TO the edge Of the
cane towhere his friends were sitting on their
horses. Alter conversing some time they
left, and lie turned to 90 TO his timber, but,
to his surprise and ast0hishment, what should
he behold (alter advancing about fifteen
PAGES towards the tree,) but huge bear, sit
ting erect on his launches, with his rifle
cooked, and aimed in direct range with the
pathway in which he was returning, and, for
me, (says he in relating it,) it appeared as il
nv DAYS were numbered. | had no way to
retreat, except along my straight little path,
and just commenced getting on my knees
for the last time as thought, when the bear,
seeing this, did his best to fire; but, said he,
Providence was on my side, my rifle was
double trigger, aud Bruin did not understand
it, and that was all that saved me.

eF- Bulwer has made n hit lately as n
parliamentary speaker. An English paper
thus describes his manner in debate:
81 think he is the m 'st ridiculous looking
man, with his horse nose and blue saucer
eyes, in her Nlajesty's dominions; and his bow
wowy voice, drives one into mysteries of fd-
getiness; and his gestures--oh his gesturtsl
Conceive Cassandra being dogmatic in state
.ofdeIirium tremens. The impression for the
first five minutes of his oratory is awful; you
see members dust their faces with their hand
kerchieis, and keeping their eyes off the door
that looks 80 tempting an escape from the
terrible baronet. But genius asserts itself,
and one iorgets the baronet in the man whose
very grotesqueness but proves hisgrand orig
inality; and forgetting the manner in the mat
ter-when il WIS good, as on Tuesday-the
House cheers. He sat down on that night
with parliamentary success, having achieved
that which he has been twenty years striving
for; and as watched him passing through
the lobby amid unreserved congratulations, |
came to the conclusion that that was the
happiest moment of a career leaiy with au-
rels.

rg- An inventive genius, desirous of pro-
noting the domestic rearing Of hens, has in
vented contrivunce TO keep them from
scratching up che garden. 1t is a small instru-
ment, somewhat resembling u very long spur,
attached to the hInd part of hens leg. The
instrument is so arranged, that when the hen
is about to scratch the earth, the spur catches
in the ground before her foot has fairly de.
scended, and obliges her to bring the foot
down quietly and harmessly little in front
of the place which she has aimed at. The
hen thercupon tries the other foot With n like
result She keeps on trying, and before she
is aware of II the machine has walked her
right ont of the garden. This will be just
the thing when tie "hen fever" returns.

SELF-AcTING FIRE EEeIYE.-Mr. Alfred
Guthrie, of Chicago has patented a new en-
gine to raise water for the use of cities The
Chicago Jouana gives the following descrip.
ton of it:
The construction of the machine is as fol-
lows: Anair chamber is connected with the
pipe that supplies thecitywith water. BY valves
water is admitted on one side of the chamber
and allowed to escape on the other A
forcing pump, used in connection with the
water works. forcing the water through the
air chamber, and, as the pressure is increased
the air III the chamber acts as propelling
force, which forces the water through the
p pes with an immense increased pressure
which will throw a stream of water to Il
height which cannot otherwise be obtained.
Z. his pressure is maintained in every part of
the city, and all that is necessary 10 subdue
fire, is to apply the frc-hose to any of the
street hvdrants or even house hydrants when
a stream of water is instantly obtained and
kept without intcrmission as long as the
pump at the water works is kept il opera

OF "Ion," the intelligent Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, under
date of March 3Olh, says:
The letter of Mr. Gallar, from Paris, of
the 7th inst, throws much light upon the
movements and policy nf Louis Napoleon.-
In tho first place, he is certainly going to the
Crimea, Notwithstanding the death of the
Cznr aud the peace conferences at Vienna,
and the remonstrances of Austria, which
power breads the consequences of any acci-
dent that might, NJ this time, open the food
gates of democratic revolution in France
But he goes, also, for the purpose of esinb
fishing basis of operations vastly more ex-
tensve than has been hitherto contemplated.
He will take the war upon his own shoul-
ders, and will make himself its hero or its
victim. England will have little to do in u
military capacity with the future operations
nor will she have any control of their politi
cal consequences, but will, no doubt, furnish
funds aud means 0! transportation to what
ever extent they may be required. Napoleon
has perlec, confidence in his destiny, and says
that had he listened to advice, he would not
have undertaken the coup fetat of 2d Drcem-
oer, nor the popular loan, vet in both OF these
enterprises his success surprised the world.
lie, therefore, obeys only his destiny, and
there can bc no doubt that success in the war
will he speedily followed by another matr-
moHlal alliance, and the crossing of the Brit
ish channel.

Care is lighter, Joy is brighter,
In the still and peaceful night.

How intensely solemn il a moonlight buri-
al, when the flowery May turf is broken for
one more grave, and the coffined form (it
may have been dear to us) is lowered into its
narrow resting place which may become to
us hallowed ground, where we will often come,
in the pure and softened moonlight. and sit
and think of thsm who may lie low at our
feet And there will be a night When you
and | will lie down, to never rise again. Then,
We needless followers of vanity, ye who pass
your nights in unthinkng mirth, remember,
that above the sky, in Gods book, are remem-
bered all your nights and days and We, who
are ready for this solemn tribunal, welcome
each night. as one nearer to the fruition of
your hopes, and when the night OF death
shall come joyfully resign your feeble breath
for glorious home in the skies. Again say,
blessed night! ..
