DIscoMF1TED.-The Wilmington IN. CO.
Journal is responsible for the following story
about the discontinue of candidate for some
Office "out West"
"1t would appear that the Office seeking
man rode up, towards the evening, to small
log house, where lived one Of the sovereigns
whose vote he was anxious to secure. On
entering the house, he found no one in but
a lady, exceedingly ill-so i'll as to be con-
fined to bed, who told him that her husband
had gone to the next village for doctor, and
that she feared she would die before his re-
turn. Anxious to comfort her, he assured
her that there was no danger but she re-
fused to be comforted. By way of final
effort at consolation, the unsuspecting politi-
clan told her that he had been in the same
'ooy himself several times, and got over it.
AS he did so, the husband and the doctor
accompanied by an elderly female, entered
the house in time 10 hear the last remark
The doctor, the husband and the elderly fe-
male laughed, even the sick woman laughed
some, if she aSere dying. The electioneer-
ing gentleman mizzled. That evening the
county had an inhabitant more, but the next
day candidate the less, for the joke got out,
and the poor man was laughed off the track.
He could not bear to be asked how he felt,
&C., and finally put off to California, where
somehow, the thing followed him. He has
gone to the Fejee Islands"

worth of muriatic acid will cure the worst
case of old poll evil. First, wash the sore
vel. with strong soap suds, then drop eight
or ten drops of the acid in it twice day,
until it has the appearance of a fresh wound !;
after which, it should be washed clean with
suds made from CASTLE soap, and left to heal,
which it will quickly do if the acid has been
used long enough; but if it does not get
well, apply the acid again until it does cure,
for it is sure remedy, and will not fail if it
is applied until the diseased flesh is all burnt

A HINT TO GARDENERs.-It has been
asserted that enough manure in the shape of
refuse and seweragei if properly accumulated
is made by every family to manure the ground
necessary to supply them with vegetable food.
1t might also be truly said, that enough land
lies idle, Or nearly so, around dwellings to
furnish at least summer vegetables for the
family. In tie former case the following is
the method recommended
If all the bones of the butchers meat are
broken in very small pieces, and thrown into
a tank, and mixed with the vegetable refuse
of the garden, or allotment, and all the ashes;
and if in another tank are collected all the
house sewage an ample supply of manure
will be furnished for fertilizing the ground
required to grow wheat and garden Veget-
ables for the family, for it must be remem-
bered that the sewage must be applied in
liquid form, and before applied to the crops
it must be diluted with FIVE times its bulk of
water. OF the value of such, no practical
cultivator of the soil needs any testimony.
1t is most rich in ammonia, and is in truth,
too powerful to be used unless weakened in
the way we have described
]. With the care in cropping and selection of
seeds, and summer culture, as is here point
ed out to apply manure, but few dwellings
in this country that lay any sort of claim to
a garden but would grow ample vegetables

FoRETELLING THE WEATHER.--In clou-
dy morning, it is matter of importance to
the farmer to know whether it will be SUM-
shine or stormy in the afternoon. If the
ants have cleared their holes nice, and piled
the dirt up high, it seldom fails to bring a
good day to farmers, even ifit should be clou-
dy till ten or eleven o'clock in the forenoon.
Spider-webs will be very numerous about
the tops of the grass and grain some cloudy

shown the writer of this, that those little

wHEAr IN WET WEATHER.

Having seen from the newspapers, and
heard from other sources, Of the losses and
damage which happened to the last wheat
crop in this State, from the quantity OF rain
which fell during harvest, am induced to
communicate the result of my experience as
to the best method of saving wheat during a
continued spell of rain after wheat cutting
has commenced.
About thirty years ago, lived in Eastern
Virginia, in the county of Essex. AT that
time, there was the most promising crop OF
wheat growing, that lever remember to have
seen but once before. But, at the beginning
of harvest, rainy spell set in, and contln-
ued during the whole harvest, and for some
days after the wheat cutting had been finish.
ed. The rain fell in torrents, and to the
best of my recollection without the Interrupt
tion of a single day. Finding that there
would be total loss of the crop, if permit
ted to stand in the field, by the advice of an
experienced overseer (for I was then but a
young farmer,) I commenced and continued
to cut my wheat, regardless Of rain, and put
it up Immediately, in cocks of four or five
bushels, made as sharp as they could be form
ed, by pressing the wet straw as closely as it
could be squeezed together and Gaping the
cocks with sheaf of wheat. When the
wheat was thin, and too far to carry conve-
niently, the cocks were made of smaller size.
Under these circumstances, it is best not
to tie the wheat in bundles-the object be-
ing to cause the wet straw, to adhere so close
ly as to render the wheat cocks perfectly i'm
penetrable to rain. As soon as the weather
cleared, I commenced hauling my wheat to
the barn; and although the outside of the
shocks were perfectly green with sprouted
wheat, much to my surprise and qualification,
| found the inside of the wheat cocks so per-
fectly dry, that the dust rose from the inside
straw as the cocks were opened, and the grain
was in perfect preservation. It was evident
that the drying process had been going on
during the whole Of the rainy spell, doubt
less from the internal heat generating from
the wet straw. 1t is true, that the wheat
straw was somewhat moulded, but it was not
so much injured as to prevent horses and cat
tie from eating it readily; and the crop was
better both as to quality and quantity than I
ever afterwards made from the same land.
From my own experience, then and since,
1 feel myself warranted in assuming, that l
have never since known harvest so wet,
as necessarily to occasion any greater loss
than the wheat unavoidably exposed to the
weather, on the outside Of the shocks, put
up as herein recommended.

ROOK-FARMING.

MesSrS Editors Man is so constituted
by early education and association in early
life, that it is not strange that we should
cling to them in after years. Our early
training in morals and religion is seldom for
gotten; our earl education in telling the
soil is apt to cling to US in after life.
There is a common prejudice among far
mers against book-farming Most of this we
have received by early training. 1t is very
important that the farmer should form cor
rect theories-that he should understand
the nature of each crop he cultivates, the
nature of the soil on his farm, the amount Of
manure required for each successive crop,
the kind best adapted to any particular loca-
ton on the farm, the best time to plow diff
ferent soils, the best and most prolific seeds
for cultivation, their character and habits,
the most proper time to SOW and plant, and
so on, through long list of operations.-
Now, is this science all untrue and decep-
tive, because it is matter Of record? Ger
tainly not. Do any Of our brethren know so
much that it would be injurious to know
more? Is there not room still for improve
ment? Do our fields do all that they are
able to do by an improved system? We
think we hear the answer no ! to all these
questions.
But how are we to be benefited by books
and agricultural journals We answer,
read and practice what is adapted to our
case. We must use our best Judgment
We are not bound to receive what we think
is unreasonable. If a correspondent advau-
ces visionary scheme, we are not bound
to follow it. But some will say, We work
farm the same as our fathers did but do we
harvest as large crops as they did? No!-
They croped virgin soil 1t has now be-
come exhausted. Books will tell us how to
restore it toits original fertility.
We are not apt to think of that vast pile
Of pork, beef, mutton, corn, &C., carried
from the farm, for two or three generations,
without having the same elements restored
again to it.
If there are the elements of FIVE hundred
bushels of corn in one acre of land, with
what the plant absorbs from the atmosphere,
when we have taken ont four hundred, there
is but one left, and so on, till we have taken
the whole, without restoring to the earth,
in the shape Of manure, that which has been
taken from it.
Some will say, we have seen enough of
book farming. There was such man did
this, that and the other, and "came out at
the little end of the horn,' as the saying is
All very true. Do all hap-hazard far
mers succeed ? Do not as many systematic
farmers succeed in laying up a competence
for themselves and families as book men
do in any other occupation? .
A good agricultural journal is great help
to practical planter. We might see there
an experiment we had designed to make, and
we may thus be informed of the folly of re-
newing it.
On the other hand, we might see some
thing, the idea of which had never come in
to our mind before that might be of many
dollars advantage, paying the subscription
and leaving balance in our pockets besides.
