Agricultural Pfi5eS-In offering prizes
for animals at agricultural meetings, dis
tinction sh .uld be made between those
smoihered in fact, by which the frame work
is totally concealed, and those whose pro-
portions are visible, though well covered
with wholesome meat. II farmers are to
be benefited by periodical gatherings and
exhibitions of stock, attention must be paid
to certain rules by which information can
be obtained as to the expenses Of feeding,
when it will be proved that disgusting
looking pigs which cannot stand, but re-
quire proppiOg upto eat, are not worth
their keep that is, will not remunerale
the ugriculturist, who has to live upon his
land, and from his produce. Animals are
required with the power of producing weight
in short time, on the ordinary food sup
Piled by, the farm, and when in fine
healthy condition affording fair return
for expenses incurred Ohio Farn,cr.
The force of these remarks, we presume,
could be appreciated by the importer Of
the Gne bull that died in the street in Phil
adelphia last week, soon after leaving the
boat. having cost the owner $500 up TO
that time. Cause-exeessiye burden OF fat
too much for our hot summer weather.

"rhe more we hoe,
The more we grow"

The Gardeners Text Book says -
Hoeing is of benefit even when there are
no weeds to be hoed in fact it should be
the object to keep, rather than to get, them
out ol beds. Hoeing makes the ground
sweet, and open to the atmosphere; Whereby
the crops are much sooner brought to ma
turity, and in greater perfection. Strange
as it may seem, keeping the surface light
and porous, will prevent the parching eff
feet of drought. Thus in a dry scsaon,
welltilled garden suffers less than field
of grain on the opposite side of the fence.
During the day time, the loose soil i'm.
bibes heat freely, and transmits it to the
most distant rootlets, securing to them
that warmth which is so essential to vig-
orous growth; but at the approach of even
ing, when the temperature Of the air falls,
u reverse action takes place and the heat is
radatod or thrown of quite as rapidly as
it was received. If, on hot day, you fill
pitcher with cold water, in a few moments
you will find the outside covered with
moisture, and it is a common expression
that the pitcher swests.' Instead, how
ever, of the drops having been drawn
through the pores of the ve's sci like per-
spiration through the skin, they are droops
of vapor condensed from the surrounding
air upon the cold pitcher. So with the
soil at evenings; as soon as by the radiation
of heat it becomes colder than the atmos-
phere, that moisture which VIC call dew is
condensed, and transmitted to the roots
The extent Of this beautiful operat on is
just in proportion to the looscness of the
surface Thus Goblet says, "A man will
rise more moisture with hoe or spade,
in day, than he can pour on the earth

AN ELOQUENT EXTRACT.-The citi-
zens of Newburyport, Mass, gave Gen.
Caleb Cushing, Pierce's Attorney Gen
eral, public reception upon his arrival
at home few days since. His speech
upon the occasion was characteristical-
ly eloquent, polished and scholarly. 1t
is rarely that language is made to paint
sentiments with a richer coloring than
the following extract:
"Standing here on this familiar spot,
with all these well known faces before
me, and in sight Cf old homestead OBJ
iects, it seems to me that our natal
earth is a part of our intellectual and
moral being; that though we are not
yisibly attached to it, still the roots of
our hearts penetrate unseen down into
it, and thus, even while far away, we
continue like the fast oak itself to draw
nourishment and vigor from the same
fresh breezes, and bright skies, and fair
hillsides, and clear streams. where life
began; and that, roam over the world
as we will, mysterious ties of birthplace
remain upon us-tendencies of local at
fractions are fixed as in the load stone
instincts of "reminiscences which car
ry back to early scenes the mounting
spirit, as irresistibly, as unerringly as
the carrier pigeon flies over land and
sea to its lost home. One feels this in
whatever distant country truant tenn
per may place him; he feels it still mere,
when, as now, after long absence he
comes to retread the paths of youth,
and to anew, as it were, in the sunlight
of other days, and finds himself reani-
mated by it, and fortified for the further
trials of life, like pilgrims to the fou1-
tain of juvenefcence, or the wrestling
Titans he regained his mother earth. "
