Methodist Minister, on his way from
Virginia to Council Bluff, was made victim
of the "ball game'' at Cincinnati the other
day. The Gazette says that the Virginia
clergy man accepted all invitation to take a
walk from very well dressed and affable
stranger, and as they stroll ed they fell in
with third person who opened and exi.ib :
tied patent safe, aud offered to bet that
there was piece Of paper in it. The cler-
gymaH refused to bet, ii was against his
principles, although he was certain that
there was no paper inside. Thereupon the
newly found friend of the Divine said he
would bet if the Minister would lend him
some money, taking therefore check on
New York for $l775. The clergyman
counted out all the money he had-$3s3--
and the ''snfe'' man seized it and ran. The
clergyman gave the alarm, but his friend
who had been walking ith him told him
not 10 make any noise, and pulling out pls
tol started after the "safe" man, assuring
the Minister that he would either recover his
money or kill the rascal who grabbed it. OF
course the Virginia clergyman saw no more
of either OF the fellows. The minister ex-
pressed less regret at the loss of his money
than fears that his friends in Virginia would
learn what fool he had made OF himself.

We have the report Of an experiment made by q far
ner to test the relative merits Of several kinds Of food
for mich cows, with the following general result three
pounds OF carrots equal to one pound Of hay. This
would make three tons Of carrots equal to one ton of
hay, e., for producing mik but for fattening pur.
poses, We should place the carrot nearer upon . par with
hay. This also is true Of it, that il yields larger crops
snan the potato, is more n~utritious, is better adapted
to this climate than r~uta.baga or turnips, can be more
readily and better kept through the winter, andis more
easily prepared for feeding, as it does not require boil.
ing or steaming, unless il Be for swine. We sometimes
meet in our exchanges, with various recipes for ~coloring
W inter-made buttersa rich golden hue, like grass-made
butter; but We believe the best way to accomplish this
Is BY feeding the cows on good orange carrots, and leave
to them the work Of coloring the butter.
The culture is not difficult. Give the ground u
liberal manuring with well ~decomposed dung, and if to
this is added q mixture Of muck or chip dirt, it will help
the matter. Of course the blowing aud narrowing must
be thoroughly done. Sow in drills two feet apart, if
for horse tillage if done with the hand, at less distance.
Sow when the soil is a little moist, aud press the earth
firmly over the seed.
As carrots terminate slowly, look out for the weeds
as soon as they appear, or they will get the better Of the
carrots and overshadow them. II this seed is drilled in,
two pounds to the acre will b sufficient If sown by the
hand, three or four will be needed. Thin the plants at
at each hoeing, until they are four or Eve inches apart.
'By good management, q crop Of from 500 to 700 bushels
to the acre may be expected. The Loug Orange is
generally considered the best variety ; thoughthe White
Belgium is very nutritious aud is most easily harvested.
