HlNTs To FARMERs.-No matter where or
how our farms lie, if fertility is now wanting.
We shall possess n skeleton without the
muscles or organs essential to vigorous
life; a store-house, with the goods sold out;
a manuiactory without machinery or materi-
al. Manure properly applied will clothe
those bones with flesh; ill the exhausted
store; make that nianu!actory once more &C.
tive and profitable.
The city builder, to save cost Of land,
runs his buildings up one, two or three sto.
ries high. So sholld the farmer cultivate
his farms, downward another story, TO save
surface.
"'rhe world is not finished" sald an orator
in an agricultural meeting. "hlan must be
the agent in its completion. Our forests are
to be felled-our rivers to be arehed and
spanned-our mountains to be graded down
and our valleys to be graded up-our fields
must undergo constant improvements, and
our gardens flourish with heavier burdens
of vegetation before the world is perfect iE
its physical organization"
"The farmer who gives his cattle only
food enough to keep them from starvation,
is like the steamboat Captain who put in on
ly coal enough to stem the tide, without ma.
king any progress; and the engineer who
applied only sufficient fuel to keep the train
from running backward on the rising gfade."

RUNAWAY MATcHEs-LABoR LosT.-The
Kentucky Legislature are debating a bill to
prevent runaway matches. Labor in vain.-
Men and women have been "ruuning away"
with each other ever since the world was Gre
n,ed--and we dare say they will keep on
running" spite OF the Kentucky Solons, ill
che end Of time. 1t is a very rep-ehensible
practice, but how is it to be helped! Per-
haps the better way to reach the evil would
be to drive out of the State all the handsome
women, and invite as many ugly ones in.

FuN-Fun should be cultivated as fine
art, for It is altogether fine thing. Who
ever knew funny man to be a bad one? On
the contrary, is not he, nine times in ten, gen.
erous, humane, and good. To be sure he is.
Fun--it is a great thing. 1t smoothes the
rough places of life, makes the disposition
as sweet and rosy as fresh maidens kiss,
scatters sunshine and flowers wherever we
90; gives the world round jolly counte-
nance, makes all the girls us pretty as June
roses, and mankind one of the best families
out. We go in for fun. The man who won't
cultivate it must keep good.sized rod be-
tween US.

LIVE STOCK.

The Cincinnati Gazette SAYS, 10 the States
of Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, larger
proportion of hogs is raised than in any other
part of the world. These three States had
in 1855, about nine millions of swine, or more
than half the whole number in Russia-dou-
BILE as many as in France-and as MANY as
France, Spain, Portugal and Italy together
One great reason Of this is, that these States
are the great region of Indian Corn; where
the abundance of this food enable the pro-
Queer 10 fat swine for market early and profit
ably. Looking to the great markets of Gin.
cinnati, / ouisyille and Nashville, we think
it an underestimate to say these States sent
million Of fat hogs to market. When these
animals come to be packed-to be rendered
into lard-to be smoked N hams, and have
their hair converted into brushes-they were
worth not less than eighteen millions of dol
lars. So far as Ohio is concerned, the height
of this production has doubtless been reach
ed. II is not likely that, with the advancing
tide of population filling up cities and towns,
the increase of the arts and manufactures, and
the relatively higher price of grain, that the
domestic animals will hereafter increase as
rapidly as the population. Nor is it all GER
tain that they will increase as rapidly In the
whole United States. West Of the Nlississip-
pi, n Missouri, and Iowa, the proportion Of
hogs does not seem to be as large as they
were in the valley of the Ohio. There is not
as large proportion of Indian Corn ms there
is in the valley of the Ohio; and the fattening
OF both swine and cattle depends largely npon
this great staple. If swine are to exist in the
same ratio that they have done in the past
time, il must be in the Southwest where
population is more sparse, aud the climate
well fitted for Indian Corn.
1t seems quite probable that animal pro-
duction 10 Ohio has reached its MAXIMUM
Horses and Mules now pay a larger profit
than any other domestic animal, and conse-
quently there are more produced. Sheep
have been reduced in Ohio by the operations
of the tariff, which by reducing the duty on
foreign cloths, has disabled the American
manufactures from buying Ohio wool. So
far as the people of Ohio are concerned they
have been losers by the reduction of the tar
if. They have sold no more provisions than
they would have done, but have lost the sale
of their wool, and been obliged to buy for
eipn cloths

FAsHoN-IiNT FOR OUR LAnIss.-The
general gossippinng Idle Man of the WASH
ingtoE States relates that the lady promen-
aders on the Avenue were somewhat Mortified
the other morning "at the appearance of n
distinguished foreigner, who held up her
dress so as to display an undoubted scarlet
flannel underskirt" What an idea! Yet
these same peasant pettcoats are Row all the
rage across the water. Queen Victoria
brought them 10 London from her Bamora
palace in the Highlands of Scotland, about
two years ago, and this year they have been
adopted by the Empress Eugenie. OF course,
they are a la mode, those Of alternate narrow
stripes Of red and black fnnel being more
distingue than the plain scarlet. Silks and
satins are to be no longer trailed in the mud
and the ladies who wish TO be la mode
should not only provide themselves at once
but practice gathering up their dresses in
graceful folds so as to display about foot
of the bright colored under.skirt."

SUPPORT YOUR PAPER.-What paper -
Why the local paper OF your town or county.
Why do we find that every new town of the
hundreds springing up around us make it a
sine qua non to plant press in their midst
the first thing they do? 1t is because the
sagacious business man of eastern marts,
who is heading these enterprises, knows well
the power of the press and its invaluable
services in building up and developing
country. Its light is to the business world
what the sun is to our solar system. Let it
languish and emit siekly ray and you Ian
gush with it. Support il well. Give TO
your paper strength and vigor, and it i'm
parts to your business a corresponding life
and vitality.
1t paws you back ten-fold for all your pat
ronage. why then would you be miserly
in your favors of patronage! Why will you
scratch your head when asked to advertise,
and say, an think about it," Think about
it, you old fogy you! it is no question to
consider. "But Icant afford IT," You can't!
Then you ought to stop business forthwith,
A man who cant afford to advertise, can't
afford to do business. That's sure thing,
and the world is smart enough to know it
Mark what we say, and test the truth OF
what we tell you in your own business.
Then support your own paper! IL you
are blessed with dozen support them ALL
1t is nothing but your duty as business
man in community where the good and
prosperity of all is n common cause.

91- The Democracy of Wisconsin have
followed the lead of their brethren Of New
Hampshire in denouncing the Lecompton
Constitution and sustaining Douglas. So far
as we have observed, the whole Northern and
Northwestern Democracy, with the exception
of ,hoso who arc in the pay of the Adminis
tration, take the same ground. Self.preser-
vation is the first law of nature--and the
Freesoilers Of the North, Democratic as well
as Black Republican, are found struggling for
precedence, when there appears to be really
no antagonisn between them. "Our faithful
allies Of the North"a are illustrating their faith
by their works, with vengeance.

The RIGHT TALE.-A straight-out writer
gives the following advice to those young
men who "depend on father" for their support,
and take no interest whatever in business,
but are regular drones in the hive, subsisting
on that which is earned by Others
2 "Come, off with your coats, clinch the saw
the plough handles, the axe, the plckaxe,
spade--anythiug that will enable you to stir
your blood Fly around and tear your jacket,
rather than be passive recipients of the old
mans bountyl Sooner than play the dandy
at dads expense, hire yourself out to some
potato patch-let yourself to stop hog holes,
or watch the bars; and when you think your
self entitled TO resting spell, do it on your
own hook Get up iE the morning-turn
round at least twice before breakfast-help
the old gentleman--give him now and then a
good lift in busiress--learn how to take the
lead, and not depend forever on being ledt
and you have no idea how the discipline will
benefit you. Do this, and our word for 1t,
you will seem TO breathe new atmosphere,
possess new frame, tread new earth, wake
to destiny-and you may then begin to
aspire to manhood Take of, then that ring
from your little finger, break your cane, shave
your upper lip, wipe your nose, hold up your
head, and by all means never again eat the
bread of idleness, nor depend on father"

eR- Some interesting fats,are stated in
the foreign journals Of medicine in regard to
the increase of nails and hair in man. From
the statements made, it appears that the
groth of the nails is more rapid in children
than in adults, and slowest in the aged. IL
goes on more promptly in summer than in
winter, so that the same nail which is renew.
ed in one hundred and thirty.two days III
winter requires only one hundred and sixteen
in summer-a fact pending ON the 'visvtals,"
which seems to be proporiioDed to it. The
increase of nails of the right hand is more
rapid than of the left it differs, also, for the
different fingers, and in order to correspon-
ding with the length of the finger-being
most rapid for the middle finger, nearly
equal for the two either side Of this, slower
for the little finger, and slowest for the
thumb. The growth of the hair is well
known TO be much accelerated by frequent
cutting. 1t forms more rapidly in the day
than at night, and in hot-seasons than in cold.
