Work FOR RAINY DAYs.-The mechanic
has no trouble on this score, if his work be
under cover, but it is 4 serious question
with the farmer. With all his contrivancc,
there are often many days lost. With a
good barn cellar, and plenty of muck, there
is almost always something profitable to be
done in forking it over. With the sheds
for vehicles, there is always paying job
in greasing the wheels. This not only saves
the wear of the axletrees, and boxes, but it
adds good deal to the power Of the team.
They can carry a much larger load, and do
it easier. with well-oied wheels. Yet many
farmers forgot the grease-pot, and go half
the time, at least, with squeaking axletrees.
Such noise is disgraceful to good husban-
dry.
The breaking up of old bones for manure
is another rainy day job, that will pay. The
poorest of all jobs is that very common re-
sort, fishing The idea is homeopathic, on
ly the doses are apt to be rather large. A
thorough drcnching, an empty stomach, and
few fish to put in it, are the usual results of
rainy-days fishing.
The manager Of the farm can hardly
spend his time better, at this season, than
in reading up his agricultural papers, and in
laying his plans for the future. No work
pays so we'll OIL the farm as head work.
There is far too little Of it done.

to half bushel of hen dung; turning the
whole together throughout. This makes a
pretty powerful compost. Iapply one such
load to every twenty feet in length of my
asparagus beds, which are six feet wide.
With strong threc.pronged spade or folk,
dig this dressing under. The whole is
now left for the winter.
In the spring as early as possible, | turn
the top of the bed over lightly, once more.

packing salt, it is not too much. AS the
spring rains come down, it gradually dis

to see the strong, stout tender stalks Of the
vegetable itself pushing though the surface

FLESH EATING AND VEGETABLE EATING.

To consider man anatomically, he is de-
cdedly vegetable eating animal. He is
constructed like no flesh eating animal, but
like all vegetable eating animals. lie has
not any claws like the lion, the tiger or the
cat, but his teeth are short and smooth,
like those of the horse, COW, and the fruit
eating animals; and his hand is evidently
intended to pluck the fruit, not to seize his
fellow animals. What animals does man
most resemble in every respect? The ape
tribes; frugverous animals. Doves and
sheep by being fed on animal food, (and
they may be, as has been fully proved }
will come to refuse their natural food; thus
it has been with man. On the contrary,
even cats may be brought up to live on
vegetable food so that they will not touch
any sort of flesh, and be quite vigorous and
sleek. Such cats will kill their natural prey
just as other cats, but will refuse them as
food.
Man is naturally vegetable eating api.

Iron WIRE FOR BALlNG CorToN.-An
Alabama correspondent Of the Charleston
Courier argues warmly in favor Of this new
mode of bailing cotton. The principal ad.
vantage is that wire will not burn like rope.
and burstngs, scatter the cotton to the
flames and the wind, causing the destruction
of every other bale within its reach. Cotton
bound with wire, moreover, could scarcely
be made to blaze. and if combustion be car
ricd on at all it must be in smouldering
condition. The wire would hold the cotton
more firmly than rope, in 4 compact mass:
so that air could scarcely reach the parts
on fire. The danger from devouring elc-
ment being less, the insurance in store or
Oh shipboard ought to be reduced. Wire
also is cheaper and lighter than rope, and
could afterwards be used in baling up goods
or for other purposes. 1t should be very
malleablc and galvanized or dipped in coal
tar, so as to prevent the possibility Of its
rusting. Like rope, it can be adjusted to
any sized bale, both in packing and COM
pressing.

Commissioners Of Excise were yesterday ap-
pointed we trust in all the counties of our State,
in pursuance of the new Liquor Law. We shall
be obliged to that friend in each county who will
send us the earliest account of the appointment of
Commissioners therein, with some hint of their
probable action. When they shall finished licens-
ing, we shall be thankful for statement of the
number and locality of the licenses granted for said
county. The License law may work well, or work
i'll, or neither decidedly well i'll; but it is most
desirable that the People shall be enabled to judge
it fairly and intelligently We do not, therefore,
want one. sided views nor harsh ordinations, but
simple variations of facts. If there be any county
in which the Judges refuse or neglect to appoint,
or in which the Commissioners fail to act, or in
which they grant licenses in violation of the spirit
ard intent of the act, we desire to know and 10
state that fact with its consequences. Let us en-
deavor for once TO watch the progress of this ex-
pertinent in repressive legislation with impartial
earnestness, and be ready to hold fast the good
and countervail the evil which it may develop. We
exhort Temperance men, whether friends or adver
saries of the new Law, to unite with other loyal
citizens in insisting that it shall be fairly adj
ministered and faithfully enforced, that the Peo-
pie may be prepared to decide justly the question
Of maintaining or repeating it.
