the sad because sorrow should be fairly

should be going on in the May Day

be done, and who it is that ought to do
it.
We say, 90 ahead. But not without
system. Conceive as well as may be

to do, and set about that, and if it cost

be premature to consult the ladies, or

To such I give the foregoing for an
answer. You are aware that many of
the country, as well as city papers de-
vote several columns weekly to commu-
nications upon agriculture, and as yours
is mainly dependent upon that interest
for support, it seems peculiarly appro-
pirate for you to publish accounts upon
that subject. Should yon give this a
place in the Register, l hope it will be
the means Of calling out communications
from others, particularly from those who
farm it more extensively and upon bet
ter and more scientific principles.

CoTToN SEED OlL.-The n. Y. Trib-
INC states that the proprietors of one of
the Cincinnati oil mills have commenced
the manufacture of oil from cotton seed
imported from Memphis. Cotton seed
oil is also made to some extent in New.
Orleans and some other places; but a
hundred tuns of oil goes to waste in the
seed, where there is one pint manufac-
tured and saved. Cotton seed weighs
more than three times as much as the
lint, and is as rich in oil as sunfower
seed, which it resembles very much in its
general appearance.

INDIAN ANNrXArIoN.-We have al.
ready published the Intelligence that
Ondc, an Indian fiugdom- estimated
population 5000 coo and area $4,000
square m;les-bad been recently " annex.
ed to the British realms in the sunny
cast. Late foreign papers contain the
royal proclamation Of the fact, to the
world at large. The n. Y Times gives
the following abstract Of this remarka'
bic paper The preamble or recitative,
sets forth hat Dude is an independent
allied Kingdom. whose intercourse with
the British authorities has always been
of the most faithful and satisfactory de-
scription that in all his relations with
the East India Company the monarch
has ever been most exemplary and that
upon such grounds 20 provocation to
disturb matters exists. 1t even admits
that by a treaty ratified in 1901, the in
dependence of the native crown was qua
ranteed by the Company against itself,
and other usurpers. But as the reign
ing potentate has not found himself able
to govern his people with that wisdom,
moderation, and gentleness, another
clause in that treaty required, the Com
pany declares the instrument cancelled,
and the Kingdom of Dude a province of
the British Empire. Its population are
forbidden to yield obedience to their de-
thrOned prince, or to any of his agents (;
and all the collectors of taxes and i'm
ports are enjoined under the sternest
penalties to bring their whole harvest to
the Company's grauary. The only rea-
son presented for the annexation lies in
the simple proposition-the people of
Dude are not governed to the taste of
the Court of Directors.

E& An important bill has been
brought into the English Parliament by
the government, aud which, being sup
ported by Lord Derby, is likely to pass
into a law. Twice in every year the
Poor Law Board is TO furnish a return
indicating the food supply of the country
from harvest to harvest. The FIRST re-
turn in the beginning of June, is to be a
statement of facts, showing the average
devoted to each description of crop, aud
the amount of live stock on each farm.
The farmer is to be compelled to report.
The second return is to be made after
harvest, and is to consist os an estimate
Of the probable yield of crops. These
reports will be of great use as 0 guide to
operators in our markets.

planting in puJlic places, needs to be
called to mind The motion was sec
onded in the Register. and can have lit.
tie permanent influence unless repeated
ly commended to practice by the people.
Such an observance, If extended into
rural neighborhoods as well as populous
villages, would produce admirable re-
suits, not merely upon the landscape but
upon the taste and enjoyments of the
community and constitute an annual day
FOR social participation in a good thing.
The plan was for those interested in
a locality, a village, neighborhood, or
district, or for a school.housc, church or
other public building, to rally upon that
day, and supply and protect tie trees
ncedcl. A meeting for consultation was
proposed in advance, to lay out the work
and mako it effective, and that especial
ly, the cooperation of the LADIES should
oe solicited, to approve and crown the
labors of the day, with such hospitali-
ties as might be devised by their taste
and sympathy.
If a good thing, Brethren Of tho Press,
let it not fail on our part. We would
fain see the fairest and frecst State still
fairer ahd happier. What can more
surely produce an increase Of beautiful
scenery, making good past improvements
and extending them from year to yoar2
What can better promote the c%ultiva-
ton of refined social enjoyment, and love
of country, than to make such an annual
work an occasion Of pleasant festivity in
noighborhoOds The question is sub
mitted.

The practice Of the people is more to
be sought than the commentator of the
press, and this can not be counted on.
unless the aim in view shall specially

things of public tree-planting and pro.

country seem inviting, and as if cared
for, and so the living in it more desira-

leisure can be spared, will be directed to
set and protect the trees, perhaps on the
first day of May. If a church or school

bination Of effort can make look comely
and agreeable, the Bee may be the thing,
and no doubt those, who consult togcth-

accomplish more as scholars in the school
of nature and profcients in her culture,
than those who patiently work alone.
They will take a common stock Of pleas.
