AGRICULTUR
Sowing Corn for Fodder.

The great injury done to the oat crop,
and to the early corn, by the late drought,
has created some apprehensions in the
minds Of planters, that there will be an I'M
usual scarcity of fodder during the coming
winter. An agricultural friend informs us
that il not yet too late to remedy the
best and cheapest way to make fodder, at
any rate, is to SOW the corn, either broad
cast, or in drills, and to cut and cure it be-
fore it natures the grain. He says, that
prepared in this way, the fodder is much
more nutritious than that grown in the or
binary woy--that it is better than the best
hay. His plan Of culture, which we hope
TO see fairly tried, is as follows
"Take asmall portion of your best low
land, that is clear Of stumps pillow it deep
ly with q good mould-board pillow borrow
it smooth {; then run light burrows one way,
about three feet apart. In these strew the
corn pretty thickly, say forty or fifty grain
to the foot; and cover lightly either with
the hoe or harrow. When the corn is
about eight inches high, run a cultiyator or
light plow between two rews to kill the
weeds, and loosen the ground ; and, if nec-
essary, give a light dressing along the rows
with a hoe. This is all the working re-
CURED US generally speaking, it soon COW
ers and shades the ground, and DESTROYS all
weeds and grass.
GAS soon as it begins to tassel. II sbould
be cut. This can be done either with !
scythe, or common %cleayer. The only diff
heuls is in curing it. This requires con.
siderable care, as much saccharine matter
rs contained in the stocks, and they are LA
Die to ferment and spoil, unless we'll cared
for The usual plan is to cut early in the
morning, say till eight o'clock let it re
main on the ground, stirring two or tire,
times q day. In the evening pile it up II
little stacks to be scattered out the mex
day. Handled in this way, for four o
five days 1t may be put into the stacks wit
a little salt thrown among it. Thes
should be arranged so as to shed the rain
and may be allowed to stand for thrc
weeks. Then the whole NAV be stacke
or packed in the fodder house, s~catterin
over each layer of fodder, a slight layer {
salt.
"In this way, q planter can make frol
four to six tons Of fodder off an acre
ground that would yield, say forty bushe
Of corn. 1t can be done at a cost, incl
ding everything, of less than two dolla
and fifty cents per ton and if proper
saved, one ton will be worth two tons
ordinary blades, and will be equal to Il
best clover hay. Fodder is usually wor
in the Market, from twelve to twenty-f
dollars per ton. Even at the lowest E
ure, it would be a profitable business b
for planters, in the present state Of t
crops, | regard the plan as invaluable

TEMPERANCE SONG.

He Sons Of Temperance, wake to glory!
Hark, bark, what myriads bid you rise
Your children, wives and grand sires hoary,
Behold their tears and hear their cries
Shall hateful rum shops, mischiefs breading,
With drunken mobs, a rufian band,
Besot and desolate the land,
While Temperance and Law lie bleeding?
To arms! to armsl We brave
The ayenging sword unsheath
March on, march on, all hearts resolved
On liberty or death
oh Temperance can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy ennobling Aame2
Can Whiskey, Gin. or Rum conine thee,
Or thy progressive spirit tame?
Zoo long the world has wept, bewailing
That mis'ry's shafts the Rum shops WELD !;
But Temperance is our sword and shield,
And all their arts are unavailing.
To arms! to arms yo brave
The Temperance sword unsheath
March on, march on, all hearts resolved
On liberty or death

PATENT PLOWS.
The Bladed PlOw is cheap and strong,

Inc BIaded Flow is cheap and strong,
Win pulverize-and last so long,
That he who by the Plow would thrive,
Must surely one of WYcHE's drive.
Poor Richard, revised.
EfAlR experiments have shown that from 10 to
u SO per cent. more wheat and oats come up
when plowed in by the Bladed Plow, than when
turned under with the ordinary pillow that corn,
cotton, tobacco, de-, require less labor in planting,
come up better, and are much more easily tended,
and that the product is largely increased.
This light and durable pillow is easy to both
driver and team. and can be cheaply and readily
repaired.
The Mole Plow upward splits the sod,
And scarcely leaves a single clod,
Mixes and drops the furrow-slice
just where it was before, so nice!
The subsoil or Mole Plow, with a vertical cutter
near the edge of the middle of the shave and a
cutting plate on tie posterior part of the shave for
turning the soil in towards the pillow, operates in a
different way from any other-breaking close te-
nacious lands thoroughly, and allowing weeds roots
and grass to pass over the cutters.
Orders for any quantity Of the above PlowS
may be sent to Uriah Wells, Pc ersburg Va. OF

The Tempting Bowl.
Leave, oh leave the tempting bowl,
Nor drink the m%add'ning poison up;
BY all thy youthful dreams of life,
Be warned and shun the fatal cup.
They say that on its brim hangs joy,
And in its depths there's bliss divine
They little know how deep a curse
Is hidden in o cup OF wine.
Oh, when the wine cup bathes thy lips,
Is there no silent power to cast
Around thy heart some magic spell,
To waken memories Of the pastH
Or can no charm e'er win thee back,
Or rouse the pride Of other years
The cherished form, the smile you loved
Can thoughts Of these not call up tears?
Where are ambitions dazzling dreams,
That shed a halo round thy heart,
The hopes with bright enchantment iraught,
That once were Of thy life a part?
Gone, gone-thy flowers Of life have fed,
They couldn not live when pride had pass'd;
They dropped and withered, one by one,
Beneath the wine cup a chilling blast.
Then touch no more the tempting glass,
a demon sleeps beneath its brim,
That lights the budding flowers of life,
And makes the flashing eye grow dim.
Some fanoied joy may seem to Turk
Within the bright delusiye bowl,
Yet heed it not-you've but to drink
And deep despair will pierce thy soul.
Gaze not within the sparkling cup,
Nor drink its dark insidious tide;
Oh wouldst thou make the loved ones blest,
In Heaven nome then turn aside.
oh, why should manhood thus dispel
The brightest dreams Of bliss divine
And blast the fairest flowers of life,
To stoop beneath the tyrant wine.
Then come. redeem the name you've sold,
Ere time with its o'erwhelming wave
Shall hurl thee on, while friends will weeI
To sec thee gil q drunkard's grave.
Through time was coldly swept away
The lustre Of thy youthful brow
Yet If thy heart is still the same,
Thy love shall be rewarded now.
