SoILIN0 CATTLE-WiLL IT PAY I'll noticed
In the last number Of The Homssisaf that one
of your subscribers makes inquiries 10 regard
to soiling cattle, whether 1t will be cheaper,
where pasturing is scarce, and consequently
dear. From my own experience would an
swer, it will pay, and from close observance
OF some ofmy neighbors who have practiced it
for several years, am persuaded that It can
be done cheaper, where land is dear, for in
such localities the pasturing is invariably poor,
for farmers usually think that land that is worth
much cannot be spared for that purpose. We
have practcod sowing corn in drills, to feed
to cattle in the green state, during tho dry
months of Summer, for several years. This
answered voIy well for sho time, but we in
variably fell short enough, and then the land
lay idle half the year, rs we commence to cut
about the LIST OF August, and got no crop after
that during the year. Where land is worth AZ
much as It is on the Connecticut river we think
1t toogreat awaste Of time. If We could procure
something of prolific growth, and that would
spring up from the old roots, 30 as to cut sever
al crops it would be just the article that short,
poor pastures and dry Summers have compelled
us to look for. Just the article that have dc.
scribed above is found in the Egyptian Millet
| have rlised this millet on Ill scale for
two years, and pronounce it worth double to
corn, sugar cane, or anything have yet seen.
| The miet is very sweet, and by some IL il
thought capable Of producing good sugar.
There are other very strong arguments II
favor Of soling cattle, by a judicious manage
ment Of the manure which would be lost dur
ing the heat Of Summer by turning to pasture
by keeping in the barn will he saved, to So,
nothing Of the loss Of milk by long journeys tt
the pasture twice a day, which every goot
dairyman knows is considerable. These be
lieve to be the views of some of the best farm
ers on the Connecticut riyer.-CorrespOnden o
the Homestead.

Nm. EDroE sabbath School exhibitions
ana school commandments have become so
very tame and insipid, because of their same
ness OF late years, that, extraordinary talent
found In the midst Of some, have failed TO elicit
that admiration through tho pross, which many
justly merit.
With your indulgence, Mr.. Editor, we will
talk for short time about our Academy and
her condition at present. Last evening the
seml-annual commencement came off, amt our
place was once more filled with visitors from
all parts of thiS State, and many from others.
The Principal deserves great praise for the
thorough training Of his pupils, but their gea-
tlemanly bearing in ElocutionITy performance,
speak higher encOniums in his favor, than we
can bestow. Memory loves 10 roam o'cr an
cient pages of the past, and wildly paint in
images, the historical heroes Of oratory, who
figured conspicuously in the demi civilized
nations of the old world; but it affords higher
qualification TO be able TO see and hear the
young of the present day, who, if trumpeted
as justly by fame, and duly credited by u pa
uOnizing public, ars not outrivalled either by
men of ancient or modern renown in point 81
oTatorical genius.
Music and everything appertaining to the ex-
hibition, was gotten up in the very best style ;
but several students deserve especial notice,
coming from numerous States OF the Union, a
diversity OF talent necessarily compassed under
"princlpafs" Jurisdiction, and by cxcrtions OH
his part has been wonderfully developed.
Christiana Hundred was proudly represented
by Messrs Heisler and Smalley, the Old Do.
minioH has an able competitor in the person OF
Thos b. Wood who stood by tho side of little
Delaware.
Universal satisfaction was irresstibly elci-
ted as the rightful due of G. n. Hazel, John
Wroth, Gooden Green, q. Hayes, McWhorter,
hanely, Master Billop, while the sparkling
eyes and beaming faces of all present, testified
their appreciation of Merritt N. Willitts of our
little village.
| We are glad to state that decorum marked
the exercises throughout. No theatrical ap-
plause emanated from the vast crowd, but all
appeared to feel, if not in Gods immediate
presence, they stood in the temple sacred to
