Cheerfulness.

There is no quality that SO much en-
dears man to his fellow man as cheerful
ness. Talents may excite more respect
and virtue more esteem.
But the respect is apt to be distant and
the esteem cold. Butt is otherwise with
cheerfulnes. It endears man to the
heart-not the intellect or the imagine
ton. There is kind of reciprocal diff
fuseness about this quality that recon-
mends its possessor by the very effect
it produces. There is a mellowed radi-
ance in the light it sheds on all social in
tercourse, which pervades the soul to a
depth that the blaze of the intellect can
never reach.
The cheerful man is double bless 8
"a blessing to himself and to the world
around him. In his own character his
good nature is the clear, blue sky Of his
own heart. on which every star of talent
shines put more clearly. To others he
carries an atmosphere of joy and hope
and encouragement wherever he moves.
His own fear becomes infectious, and his
associates lose their moroseness and their
gloom in the amber-colored light of the
lbenevolence he casts around him.
It is true that cheerfulness is not al
ways happiness. The face may glow in
smiles while the heart "runs in GOODNESS
and darkness below" but cheerfulness is
the best external indication of happiness
that we have, and it enjoys this advan-
tage over almost every other quality

Carrots are very excellent "fodder"
for horses that have been long kept on
highly carbonaceous food, and whose di-
gestive organs may be out of order in
consequence of their constant activity in
reducing meal and oats into the elements
of animal nutrition. With fair allow
ance Of carrots, good ground oats and
sweet hay, horse viii enjoy good health
and spirits, have loose hide, shining
coat and healthy lungs. A daily allow
ance Of carrots should always be furnish
ed to horses, the subjects of indigestion,
whose food often runs into fermentation,
inducing diarrhea or a lax washy state
of the bowels. Carrots furnish an acid
called poetic which possesses the curious
property of gela.anizing the watery con-
tents of the digestive cavities. A few
drops Of this poetic acid and will g"latan-
ize both, and when mixed with the juice
of an orange changes the same into jelly.
So that..if the alvine discharges of a horse
are watery, carrots can be used as ather-
apeutic agent. both in view of arresting :
the same and restoring the tone of the
stomach and bowels. By examining the
excrement of horse, fed in part on car
rots, it will be found to contain no undi-
gested hay nor oats. and therefore we
may safely infer that they promote diges-
ton SO that by the constant use of carrots,
less quantities of hay and oats will suf.
fee than when a larger amount is con-
.sumed and parted with in an undigested.
For fattening animals carrots are exceed
ingly valuable. Ii will be urged that
carrots are not very nutritious, that may
be; still, if they possess the property OF
gelatanizins the contents of the stomach
and bowels, they aid in the manufacture
fof fat out of other food. which NIGH
otherwise pass ou: of the system.

mid winter, fed on carrots, is equal in fla
vor to that supplied from clover in sum

peculiar flavor of this vegetable. Twt
bushel of cats and one of carrots is bet
ter food for a horse than three bushels o
oats without carrots, and when the ami
NAL is used for light work only the guam
tity of carrots may be increased.
The reader must bear in mind, how
ever, that animals, like ourselves, have
their peculiar idiosyncrasies or suscepti
bilities-"w what is one mans food is ano

To DESTROY VERMrN.---The celebrated
Raspail, well known as one of the French
Chemists, has given an important recipe
for destroying vermin on animals, and al
so on plants and trees, important at least,
if true. The process he recommends is
to make solution of aloes--a quarter of
an ounce ofthat gum to two pints of wa
ter, and, by means of a large brush to
wash over the trunks and branches of
trees with this solution. This simple pro-
cess, says Raspail. will speedily destroy
all the vermin on the trees, and will ef-
fectually prevent others from approach
ing. In order to clean sheep and ami
mails with long hair, they must bebathed
with the solution or be well washed with
it. Raspail mentions several trials he
made with the mixture, all of which have
been attended with the most complete sue
cess. and he recommends it very strongl,
to general use.

r~The VaHey Farmer in an editoris

EEThe Valley Farmer in an editorial
article on the Cultivtio nofCorn, has the
following very sensible remarks:
Some of the largest premium crops:
now on record, were produced by level
culture, if the first plowing is done with
the bar next to the corn. throwing the
furrow from the hills, and the earth re-
turned with the next plowing, the cult
yator should be used for all subsequent
working. This leaves a level mellow bed
for the thousand of minute roots which
fill the entire space betxssen the rows
and are in fact, the moab through aoh.ch
alone tie plants are fed. 81 keeping the
surface level and mellow. it readily ab-
sorbs the rain as it falls where it is held
in reserve for the growing crop. But
when the last work is lone with, the
earth is thrown from the. center of the
rows to the corn, largs portion Of the
roots are cut off and destroyed, which
must necessarily diminish the yield. The
idea advanced by some J. farmers, that
plowing corn at this time, and rending
and breaking the roots is beneficial to il
10 simply absurd. Corn delights in
well pulverized, mellow soil, and if
ground is sufficiently moist and the wealth
er warm after thorough working with
the plow and causing the loss of these
roots, the corn will continne to grow rap.
idly, notwithstanding the violence done.
but if the weather is dry the injurious
effects Of such cultivation is clearly and
fatally marked by the .'6ring" of all the
over leaves, and necessarily results in
great injury to the crop.
