GRANT COUNTY DERALI
yellow LOCUST.

A correspondent asks for information re
latiye 70 the cultivation Of the Yellow Lo
Gust. I often wonder more attention !.
MT paid to the subject, especially in ,those
sections Of the country where wood i
scarce, or growing so. It is the most I'M
portant as well as the most profitable wood
that can be grown, and if any farmer woul'!
make better investment than in anything
else he could do.
Seventeen years ago | set out row Of
tress along the top of a Siding bank or side
hill, which could not be cultivated. The
whole time employed did not exceed two
hours. The roots spread, and soon filled
the hill to the bottom with thrifty young
trees. Probably eonld cut off from sew
enty-fye to one hundred dollars worth OF
posts, and in ten years, more than double
that quantity, aud this too upon land that
otherwise would have been entirely un-
productive.
The cultivation is simple, and once ii
the ground, the roots remain for all tlme
Gather the pods this fall Or in the spring
from the trees and get the seeds Pre-
pare the ground for your nursery as you
would for onions or other roots, and whel
the danger Of frost is over, take your seed
and put them into vessel, and pour hol
water over them. After standi g twenty.
four hours, pour off the water and pick out
all that have swollen-perhaps one-tbird
may be thus ready-plant them in rows a
bout three feet apart, and three or foai
inches in the row. Pour water over those
that remain as before, and go through
with the same process. Keep the ground
free from weeds and the young trees will
be fit to set out the next spring. Prepare
the ground as for any other crop, If posi-
bic. Mark it ont into squares of rod and
set a tree at each angle. About the third
year, run fnrrow between each row Of
trees about ten inches deep. Keep the
cattle out, and you will have a locust grove
which will last as long as seed grows and
water runs. An acre Of locust at 20 years
from the seed would yield rot far from
$400, and the same or more every b yrs
after, AS soon as the young trees get out
of the way of the cattle, it will furnish very
coed pasturage. Let every farmer whc
has any waste places, { out as many yel
low locusts as he can, and set them in al
the vacant places in his wood lot. By do
ing so, he will soon fluid that he has fin,
lot of very valuable timber growing tina
has cost comparatively nothing.

Bob SOutiaey GA DalesIing'.

The New York Evening Post publishes
the following letter written by Southey il
anticipation of a challenge from Lord By
ron to fight duel. The challenge was
never sent as the case resulted but South
ey's letter is none the less interesting or
that account. His premise was a correct
one, and his reasoning truly logical:
"Sir:-I have the honor of acknowledge
ing the receipt of your letter, and do my
self the pleasure of replying to it without
delay.
In affairs of this kind the parties ough
to meet upon equal terms. But to estab
isl equality between you and me, there
are three things which ought to be done
and then fourth also becomes necessar,
before can meet you en- the field.
First-1ou must marry and have fou
children; please be particular in having
them girls.
Second-You must prove that the grea
ter part of the provision you make for then
depends on your life, andsyou must be un
der bonds of four thousand pounds not te
be hanged, not to commit suicide, and moi
to be killed in a duel-which are the con
ditions upon which l have affected an in
sarance on my own life for the benefit o
my wife and daughters.
Third must tell three distinct false
hoods concerning you upon the hustings o
in some other no less public assembly; ane
| shall neither be able to do this no. NEE
you afterward in the manner YOU propose
ualess you can perform the fourth thing
which is:
You must convert me from the Chris
tian religion.
Till all this can be accomplished, on
dispute must be carried on without tht
use of any more iron than is necessary 70
backing our ink or mending our pens; or
any more lead than enters into the compo
sition ef the Edinburg Review.
/ have the honor to subscribe myselfsir
yours with all proper consideration.

They consume II 100000 lbs. They i'm
port, then, Is, 100000; that is the United
States import little more than one fourth
of the wool cn5am by our manufactures.
We should be able to export wool rather
than be compelled to import it. There are

in the aggregate, l0,6o0,0o0 lbs, which i
one-fifth of the entire wool crop of tn,

ANTS AND THEIR Cows.-The Gu ming

ANTS AND THEIR Cows-The Gu ming
ants keep COWS in their stables. Almost
every ant hill, belonging to one variety, has
beetle in it,who lives, rears IL family an,
dies among them, a welcome and honored
companion. When the ants meet him, they
stroke and earess him With their antenna
in return lie offers them sweet liquid that
oozes out under his wings, and of " hch the
little topers are passionately fond. Sc
great is their attachment 10 the odd con
fectioner, that they seize him in times OF
danger, and carry him off TO place Of
safety; the conquerors Of an invaded ma
ton spare the sweet beetle, and what i:
more surprising, his maggot and his chFys-
alis, though themselves utterly use
less, are as safe among their wise hosts as
if they possessed the luscious honey. 9th
er ants, again, keep counters asphidas, thai
sit on the tender green leaves of juicy
plants, as OH green meadows and suck
away SO Justify that their delicate little
bodies swell like the udders of COWS on rich
paslurage. At that season, the ants have
to feed their young with more delicate
food than their own; they stroke and car
ess their tiny mich COWS, gather the nu-
tricious liquid that pours forth under their
sagaeious treatmeut,ard carry it,drop, drop,
TO their nurseries.

Taxation has become = great sourc

rs Taxation has become great source
OF complaint in Virginia, Ohio and Ken
lucky. This is owing 10 the increasing
obligations of these States, incurred forva-
rious purposes. Were the taxes indirect
instead of being direct, as at present, prob
ably twice the present amount might be
raised without causing any complaint
The enormous revenue which now poum
into the Golfers of the United States gov
ernment could not be raised by direct tax
alton without causing general outcry.-
A great deal of the emigration to the fa
West is melted by the growing taxation ii
the old States. In the State of Texas, ant
in the whole Of the organized territories
there are no taxes. Texas has a fund suf
iieient for revenue without the necessity o
Il resort to taxation, and in the territories
the whole expenses Of government are pait
cut of the United States treasury. /. i
for this reason that the people Of Minneso
to and Oregon are in no hurry to come in
70 the Union as States, for, when they ar
admitted, the subsidies from the nationa
treasury cease, and the people must pa,
their own governmental expenses.

The Farmers hold on to their Wheat.
The Watertown Democrat says, that
though the streets are thronged with teams
the farmers bring in but little wheat
They considerit too low,and they will not,
therefore, bring it to market until they are
compelled to by their necessities. We
learn that similar feeling pervades all the
interior Our agricultural friends are
max ing a mistake. Wheat will not be
any higher in price. There is too much
wheat, in both Europe and America,t to an
ticipate high price.
