when in motion determines as follows:
it is reckoned good if firm, and with
out his resting upon ono side of the
foot more than upon the other. If he
sets his heels first to the ground, then
it is sign that he is unsound in his
feet. If he sets his toes first to the
ground, it shows that he has been a
draught horse; therefore, in d good

A Thing Which euery Farmer should
Kno,O.-lf you wish to drive a cut
nail into seasoned oak timber, and
not to have it break or bend, just have
a small quantity of oil near by and
dipthe nail before driving, and it will
never fail to go. In mending carts
and plows this is Of great advantage,
for they are generally made most Of
oak wood. In Strengthening old nails
before using, let it be done on wood,
and with easy blows. If done on iron
they will be sure to break.

IMPROVEMENT OF FARMERS.

Thisis a subject in which every ma
ton, but more particularly an agri
cultural one, as this country most es
sentially is, is deeply concerned. This
natural, varied, highly useful, and in
teresting occupation of farming, is
the nursery Of the best qualities OF
the human heart and head. 1t is in
general as great a safeguard Of the
liberties, as it is of the passions OF
mankind. 1t counteracts the inr6ads
Of a too greatly injurious luxury OF
living, while it cultivates utility and
true happiness, rather than any false
ambition. 1t would be desirable OBJ
ject if philanthropic statesmen would
direct their attention to the patroniz-
ing all undertakings that lead to the
encouragement and stability of agri-
cultural pursuits among the people,
the chief of which are agricultural
schools on the part labor system, by
which the sons of farmers might re-
ccive an excellent general education
as well as that of their particular call
ing, instead of being liable to the evil
example of the bad society that in
tests. more or less, all towns and cities.
Experimental farms to try new breeds
of stock, new crops, new implements,
new operations, and new plans of
management would be highly advisa-
bic. 1t is to be hoped that public at
tention will be at length, and it is tru-
ly astonishing that it has not been
before, aroused to this most important
matter connected with the welfare
and happiness of the human race
The plan of agricultural schools might
very properly, aye, and proitably and
charitaby be extended to the educa-
ton of the poor and orphan children
Of the different States. What is the
object of government but TO uphold
he weak and guard them from op~
preston, and place al! men upon the
ooting of happy equality as far as
possible, without injuripg either the
ich or poor? Prussia has reduced
rhine and pauperism 80 per cent by
Ter school systems, agricultural and
otherwise. Facts speak for them.
elves, and agriculture must be more
elevated than it is, both morally and
physically. The farmers, by uniting
ogether, and electing men for the leg
slatures to forward their just views,
can alone accomplish this.
