and the other opened to give vent to an
involuntary "Yah hal" 1t was not
long now before she found her purse, and
withdrew some coin, which she kept
jingling in her hand, as she kept up her
occasional ordinations.
In due time the conductor returned for
his money, and upon extending his Itch
ing palm was somewhat astonished at re-
ceiving the precise sum of ten cents,
"What do you mean?" he exclaimed,
" The fare to New York is So"
"Yas, yas, knows dat, for white folks

Use freight, I is. Yah, yah Poor rule
as don't work bof ways; five cents foot,

of enormous ambulators for the inspection
of the conductor and us all.
The nonplussed functionary stood un-
determined for moment among tho
shouts of the passengers, until the idea..of
a compromise occurred to him, as he ex-
claimed; "Well, if you are freight, take
yourself off into the baggage car" But
even there Dinah was too much for him,
as she replied: "Jus you pick up your
freight if you want to cair um off,!
This settled the point. The conduct
or vanished, and Dinah offered pious
ejaculation 'Iord bress dat 'Preme
Court, and gin 'em credit for five dollar
bill, any way!'

coUDERsPoRT, POTTER COUNTY, Pa, THURSDAY, JU

there Is great emigration from Iowa t,
Kansas. The starvation they have many
of them been obliged to endure in some
parts of that state during the past winter
and spring, was too much for them to re
tain any great affection for the country
in which they suffered it. If the settlers
who 60 from this state to Kansas are any
index of the vast multitude who are pour
ing into that territory, in their political
feelings, all attempts, even by govern
ment itself, to make it slave state will
prove entirely futile, in fact at least, ifno
in name, for slave holders going there
with slaves, will find with all her broad
prairies, Kansas is too small and has nc
room for them. | venture to say that il
Kansas should come into the Uuion with
a slave constitution, she will be the first
slave state, with Free Soil delegation
both Senators and Representatives, in
Congress. But I have no intention Of
writing political letter.
In conclusion [ have only to say, that
this part Of the west affords many advan.
tages over any part Of the west in which
[ have ever lived. Here is good soil, 4
good climate, fine natural facilities fol
trade, a rapidly increasing population OF
good citizens, and country which has
within itself all the elements of wealth
A few years cannot fail to put this coun-
try on level with the Genesees and 9th
er sections on the south shore of Lake
Ontario. But there are, too, disadvan-
tages, the disadvantages always attending
a new counry, and which most Of the
readers of the JOURNAL have known too
long and too we'll to need reminding of.
1t is not all upon one side. There are
arguments in favor of, and opposed to, a
life in the west. [ was aware that there
wns two sides to the subject before | left
Pennsylvania, and am no less aware of it
now and in view Of every thing connect
ed with the matter, my own decided pref
erance is "The West" H.

SHEBoYGAN, WIS, June 4, 1857.
ED. OF JoURNAL-A residence of less
than two months in the west, however
fast one may live, and which is supposed
by eastern people to be somewhere about
FIVE times as fast as in the east, can hard
ly give a right to speak with the unhes-
itancy of an older resident of the cOun-
try, yet first impressions are sometimes
correct, and as you have very kindly re-
quested me to give mine, will do 50.
1t is not many years since it was stated
in Geography published in the city of
London, that some Of the country around
the upper part of the Mississippi was
susceptible of cultivation. The whole OF
the State Of Wisconsin was probably in
Guided in the country spoken of, and al
though the author of that valuable book
doubtless guessed at the whole matter,
yet if he could now visit the region OF
which he spoke, he would easily be con-
vincod that his surmises were correct
and should he-be so fortunate as to heal
its beauties and its advantages clucidated
by genuine Badger, he would speedily
come to believe that it was the centra
part of all the earth, and Ell Dorado and ;
Paradise besides. | think the country
good enough without imitation, and shal
only speak Of it precisely as it appears
to me. ....
My own observation has been confined
to the eastern shore of Wisconsin, and O
other parts Of the state I am unable tt
write. The whole lake shore is skirteC
with a belt of timber, which varies il
width from twenty to forty miles The
timber is principally hardwood, maple
beech, &C., and in spots there is good
pine, although this is fast disappearing
under the impetus which rapidly grow
ing country has given to numbering, ant
pine for building purposes will soon b
had here, only as it is brought from
Green Bay and the more northern part
of the state. The face of the country il
this timbered section is somewhat broken
Near the lake shore, the land is fat, be
ing either level with the lake, or will
the tops of the bluffs, which are abou
thirty feet above the lake, and the eleva
tion from the low ground to the upper
quite precipitous. Further inland, tn
surface becomes more rolling, although
very little higher, and all capable Of yer.

The BRED Scott Decision I'm
Practice,

Slamming the last door of the first car
and opening that of the second, the "gen-
tlemanly conductor Of the New York
train made his appearance with his bow
and smile, and tickets, gentleman, if
You please. "
Seated in the front corner, surrounded
by her personal convenienccs, such as a
carpet-bag, umbrella, big bundle, little bun
die, few apples and pieces of cake, was
a colored lady, whose face, the hue of an
inverted saucepan, contrasting with hen
snow white ivory and eyeballs, gave that
pleasing African expressinn which is sc
often the type of humor and good ma
ture.
"Ticket, ma'am, (" says our conductor.
with civility regardless of complexion
q hasn't got 'em," she replied "but
Use got money, any way" and she be-
gan to fumbled in her bag, then in the
bundles, searching these articles through
in vain.
"Come hurry up, exclaimed hel
slightly inpatient friend; II can't wai
all day."
Bress your soul, you don't think ]
find everything in a mint, but Tse got
money somewhere-mustb be in dis yeal
cawpet-bag;;" )" and she felt in her pocket
accordingly for the key.
DWELL, well, I'll pass through, an(
when I get back, perhaps you will have
it ready"
"Yas, sartin," said Dinah; but as h'
passed along she reached out her umbrel
Ia, and giving him poke upon th'
shoulder, asked, "What you gwoin t,
charge on freight"
"What do you want to know for?"
"Cause [ does; Use civil amt l?
DWELL, FIVE cents foot; there, don
bother me any more, but fad your mon
ey, and he went his way.

MISCHIEF MAKERS.

Oh could there in this world be found
Some little spot Of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might so round
Without the village tattling!
How doubly blessed that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty
Free from the bitter misery
Of gossip's endless prattIing.
'Tis mischief makers that remove
Far from our hearts that warmth OF love
And lead US ali to disapproye
What gives another pleasure
They seem to take ones part-but when
They've heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them all again,
Mixed with their poisonous measure.
And then they've such a cunning way,
OF telling ill-meant tales; they say,
"Don't mention what Eye said, pray,
would not tell another"
Straight to their neighbor's house they go
Narrating everything they know
And break the peace of high or low,
Wife, husband, friend or brother.
Oh that the notwithstanding crew
Were all reduced to one or two;
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them
Then would our villagers forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet,
With things so much below them.
For It's a sad degrading part,
To make another bosom smart,
And plant dagger in the heart
We ought to love and cherish;
Then let US evermore be found
In quietness with all around,
While friendship, joy and psace abound,
And angry feelings perish!

agricultural
Calculations In Regard to FOd-
der.

1t is one great object to the farmers of Maina
to raise q supply of the best kind of fodder
for their stock during the winter. Hay, we all
know, is the great dependence--ths staple
material for this purpose but there are many
other crops which can be raised to advantage
among US, and which are very valuable for
furnishing the food to stock and thereby saw
ing hay. -. -..-.
In order to ascertain the real value of theSo
crops for the aboye-named object, it will ba
necessary to compare the nutritive properties
of the several articles with very good hay, al
the standard.
Experiments, and close and careful compar-
ison of the results of many trials, have given
the following as the comparative difference be-
tween the articles mentioned and good hay
We have published these results before, but
we will now put them in tabular form, SO a.
to give the reader an easier mode Of compsr-
ing them -
100 pounds of hay are equal to
275 pounds of green Indian corn,
442 pounds of rye straw,
l64 pounds of cut straw,
2ol pounds of raw potatoes,
I75 pounds of boiled potatoes,
339 pounds of mangel wurtzei,
5O4 pounds of turnips,
81 pounds of rye,
IS pounds Of wheat,
50 pounds of oats,
As pounds of peas or beans,
64 pounds of bubkwheat
81 pounds of Indian coru,
69 pounds of acorns,
! 105 pounds of wheat bran,
lO9 pounds of rye bran,
! l79 pounds of wheat, pea and oat chaf,
l79 pounds of rye and barley. ..a
From this "bird 's-eye view" it will be easy
to calculate the fodder value of any of th Q
above articles you may raise. For instance;
| if you have 504 lbs. of turnips they will give
as much nutrition to your cattle as 100 lbs. OF
good hay, or, in other words, it will take
pounds of turnips to be equal to one pound
of hay.
An OK, it is said, requires per cent. Of hay
per day if he does not work, and p per cent.
/ if he does work. Suppose, therefore, you have
an OK that weighs 1900 pounds; he will re-
quire 30 pounds of hay per day if he does not
work But you wish to feed him in part eur-
nips. If you give him Is pounds of hay, hov
many pounds of turnips must you give him To
to make up the supply? Ans,cer-75 pounds,
which, at so pounds to the bushel, viii bs
five peeks
Again: according to the table, alittle moro
than half a pound of Indian corn is equal toa
pound of hay If therefore, you can give the
same OK but Is pounds of hay, how much In
dian corn must he have to supply the l5 lbs
! 1ns,cer-a little over eight and half pounds.
Allowing corn to weigh so pounds per bushel,
it will take FIVE quarts and a third.
Allowing the estimates in the table to be
correct, they will be a convenient guide TO tho
farmers in feeding cattle, &c, on other arti-
cles, in order to save hay.
A mleh cow is said to require per cent. OF
her weight per day. sheep, full grown,
three and half per cent.-Haine Farmer.
