A Novel TELEGRAPH MEErING.-The directors

New York last week, but were prevented by the OBJ
structions on the railroad. This did not howey-
er, prevent the directors from communicating
with each other, for the Baltimore Sun says:
CAT the appointed hour the President took the
chair in Philadelphia, and the directors in Wash
ington and New York promptly answered the call
of the roll, when the business commenced. Res
olutions were proposed, and motions were made
in one city, and seconded and debated in the 9TH

been present in the room. In the course of about
two hours the business was all transacted, div

themselves so quick. 0yergrown animals Of
all descriptions, are less hardy than those Of
alsmaller size. Ii theory is TO be resorted to
in order to determine such questions. we sug-
gest to the lovers Of osergrown animals the
following:
The largest animals Of this class are Of un-
natural growth. 'i'hcy have risen above the
usual mark, and it COSTS more to keep them
IN position than it would were they on le-
vel with their species. " Follow nature, is
rule not to be forgotten by farmers. Large
men are not the best for business; large hogs
are not the hugs to iatten best; and large
hens are not the best to lay eggs. Extremes
are to be avoided. We want well-lormed
animals rather than such as have large boues
Odd al it NAV be to the theorist, short legged
soldiers are better on the march, and officers
say they endure hardship longer than those
oflonger limbs. On choosing horse, take
care by all means that his legs are short. II
they are long, and split apart like pair d
diyders, never inquire the price Of the deal,
er. Make no offer. Iad Farmer.

SEEDING OATS.

oEEDlNO OAic.
The preparation for this valuable crop
should be commenced at as early period in
the month February as the condition of the
soil will permit Early sowed oats, with Few
exceptions, give much more certain crop.
and the grain is heavier aud more nutritious
than when s0wed late in the season. There
may be as much straw in the one case as in
the other, but as all comes to the scythe
about the same time, it is evident that the
late crnp cannot attain to the same perfection.
The seeding, if possible, should commence
the latter part Of the month, but in that case
the seed should be covered with a shallow
mould board plough-say to the depth Of two
or three inches. The extra labor of getting
in the oats in this manner " i'll be fully repaid
by the increase of the crop. The necessity
for covering the seed ;" deep at that p,rticu-
lar time is TO afford the necessary protection

moment Of termination. Though the yoan
plants mas not make their appearance above

Oats should b sowed on clean land that
is TO say, on land thar was cultivated in corn
the preceding year. ln a proper system oi
rotation, they should always b. made to i.l-
low corn. On any other kind Of preparation,
the product is very uncertain, and seldom

s,ubble is turned il immediately after har-
vest, and especially il the land is sowed in
peas, with light manurlng Of guano.
MANY farmers have prejudice against
cats irom the belief that they are more ex-
hausiing than any other crop. They reason
in this way, that as the crop is produced in
a very short time, The draft on the soil must
consequently be excessive. Such an opinion
can Only be regarded as pnpuar iallacy.
The eShastion produced by an, crop can only
be in proportion TO the amount % fertile iii-
gradients distracted from the soil for il, sup
port; and III this point 1t view The culture oI
wheat must be regarde, as much more OPP
