bal AUSTIN SCOTT. Editor.


PEorEcrrSe CoRN FROM CRows, &c.-Your
correspondent from, cream Hill. says the pig
with full belly will never root around, or a
hen with a full crop scratch the gound. This
is not so. A pig, filed to repleliCn, will dig
into the soil for worn 5, moisture, or the more
fun Of roofing. So,vith hen give her corn
or bread crumbs, she will eat uLtil satisfied,
and leave to scratch. Try il. There are
many small worms, insects, pebi les, &c, in
soil. which they relish as desert. which
Cream Hill has not got in his vocabulary.
With regard 10 killing crows by strychnia,
1-also doubt, though have never tried it |;
but | have Sc, n thousands of crows in n field
sown over with wheat stepped in arsenica, I J
or. to the bushel. but never picked up dead
crow. A very few grains OF such wheat has
killed a chicken that was foolish enough to
eat it. Crows will not touch tarred corn, be-
yond hill or SO. also think It protects it a
little from insects, butitis longer time in COM
ing up. l lost four acres last ear by not
tafring. l had done so with the bnlk Of my
crop, but the weather being so wet was not
ready 10 plant these four acres until the first
of June, and in order to gain time, omitted
the tar. The crows took it as soon as it made
its appearance. Iplanted again, strung twine
arround and across the lot, but it Jared no
better, and lost my crop oa o virgin SOIL
The other was never touched, scarce hill
being missing at hoeing time. H. H b.

Loss OF SHEEP.-The past winter, it is said,
has been the hardest on sheep, that has been
experienced for many years. The McCon-
nelsyille Enquirer has hesrd of a number Of
farmers who have lost from one third to one
half of their flocks, and of one man, a few
days since, residing in the west part of Nor
gan county, who had but seventy left our OF
flock that last fall numbered near three
hundred. We see also from agricultural pa
pers, that similar destruction of sheep has
taken place in other parts. If so, wool, the
approaching season, must bear a good price.

TRUE PHILOSOPHY great secret to
domestic enjoyment is too much overlooked.
1t is in bringing our wants down to circum-
stances, instead of toiling to bring circum.
stances up to our wants. Wants will always
be ahead of means, and there will be no end
to the race, if you set the latter chasing the
former. Put the yoke Of self-denial on de-
sire, apply the spur of findustry to energy, and
then, if the latter does not overtake the for
mer, IL will at least come in sight of it.

PUMPKNs.-A new way of raising pump
kins is suggested by The Homestead, which il
describes as follows Take lot where the
grass is early, and at such distance as You
choose dig holes and make the ground rich
and plant your pumpkin seeds. The grass
viii be cut before the vines begin to run, and
after it is off the pumpkins can enjoy the mo-
nopoly Of the lot. The crop will be of much
more value than the grass for feed, and the
moving will not be at all injured by not feed
ing or cutting off the second crop.

raised 10 lbs. 6 ozs. from single potato
about the size of hens egg. He dug a hole
about the size of bushel basket, put in half
a bushel sheep manure, and thoroughly mixed

was planted. 1t was of the kind known as
