PLANT PEAS.

June, for the middle and upper por-
tons of South Carolina, is the proper
month in which to plant peas. With
drilled corn, our practice has been to
chop in nicely, four or five peas between
the stalks on the drill, and we fin! that
this quantity Of seed gives MS more vine
and pod, than if we planted double the
number. Let all those WHO wish to i'm
prove their farms, plant hill of peas for
every hill Of corn they have growing -
and if tney have the seed TO spare, SOW
down their entire breadth of corn LAND
with peas at the last ploughing. We do
not advise a farmer to DO ANYTHING more
with his pea vines than to let them vot
on the land, il no has not time to turn
them under. They are valuable, however,
as food, when properly cured and peas
ground fed to milk COWS, is the very best
producer Of golden butter we have ever
tried.

HEALTH OF ANIMALS.

To keep animals in health is more i'm
portaut than to cure sick ones, nad ior
this purpose few leading rules should
I've always observed aud which cauuot Lc
out Of place here.
/. Always feed regularly as to time
and quantity. Many animals are made
sick by starving at one time, and s,uHing
at another. Especially, never over feed
=. The same rule must be observed with
waterng-and let the water lc pure.
3. Never overworli an aurmal-regu-
lar and moderate exercise will enable a
working animal to DO more the wear
through, by an odds, than any hurried
driving at one time, and resting and over
feed at anolher--and be infinite less iia.
ble to disease.
4. Alloy regular supply 0! sa.t--it is
useful !; but al observance Of the proceed
ing rules without salt, will be iucompara.
BIZ better than their in(raction with it.
5. Never feed musty or bad food. l.
mustv fodder must be used, pass i, through
a rapid cutter, and moisten, salt, and mca.
il.
8. Avoid unwhoiesome and poisonous
plants in pastures and in hay.
Z. All changes Of food must be gradu
al. Ii from hay to grass, let the grazing
be but one hour the first day. TWO hours
the next, three the next, &c. The same
caution must be carefully observed in be.
ginning to feed with roots, grain, &c.
s. BE careful that animals always have
sufficient exercise, and plenty of pure
fresh air. Stables must be well vsn;ia

3. Lastly, and hy no means least, let
strict cleanliness be observed. All AMI

DURATION OF ETERNITY.

Various illustrations have been sup.
@ested to convey 20 the mind some idea
Of iiimi'able duration. 1t has been said,
suppose one drop Of tie ocean ,hou!d
be dried up every thousand years, how
long would it be before the last drop void
disappear, and the oceans bed be left
dry and dusty! Far onward as that
would be in coming ages, eternity would
hu, have commenced. 1t would still be
in its earliest hours Ct infancy.
1t has been said, suppose his vast globe
upon which we tread were composed of
particles Ct the finest sand, and that one
particle should disupgcar III the tcrnins
ton of each million OF years oh, how
Incoacelvabiy immense must be the peri.
cd which would eiapse before the last par
ucle would be gone. And yet eternity
would then ho in lis morning twilight -
the immortal spirit would then have en- .
tered upon lis intcrminaJIe career.
1t has been sail suppose some little in .
sect, so small as to be impercep,ibIe to
the human eye, were to carry this world.
by IFS tiny mouthfu's, to the most distant
star the hand OF God has placed in the
heavens. Hundreds of miliions of years
are required for the performance Of q
single journey. The insect commences
upon The leaf of tree, and takes its
little load, so smal! that even the micros
cope canaot discover that il is gone. and
sets out upon its almost endless Journey.
After millions OF years have rolled away,
1t arrives back again to take its second
load. Oh, what intermiuable ages must
pass bcfpre the one leaf would be remov-
ed In what period of coming time
would the whole tree be bourne away
When would the forest be gone And
when would the insect take the last par
licle Of this globe, and bear il away in
its long journey Even then eternity
would but have commenced.
