ness Of his intellect and character form compound
serpexing any that philosopher could discourse on

to become the associate Of statesmen and dipoinatss and
ready to sacrifice every other consideration to the attain

among the high born and the admiration ofgering rank

giant and undscpned and perverted thoroughly by the
most outrageous sefconce and the most INSCRIPTIONS

in Office TO avail himself of his seryices he found in the

not but condemn their bitter and unsparng personality
and certainly cannot admire the motives in which they
originated yet do think that they were wholly m

open to anmadverson the yituperaton of his assaiant

that the of Mr. Dsre in that instance acquired
for him reputation in the house of commons as party

iCtprHl Hkpx or EPHHE-APPIE bHAvEss -'eonic
time ago we nbserved in tho neighbofhood Of
Batu Biyer a number Of Chinese laborerr en-
ployed in cleaning the fbers Of pineapple
leaves for expectation to China, new and
promising branch of industry in Singapore
The process of extracting and bleaching the
fibers is exceedingly simple. The arst step is
to remove the heshy or succulent side of the
leaf "a Chinese, astfide On "a narrow stool,
extends on IL in front of him a pineapple leaf
one end of which is kept firm by being placed
beneath small bundle Of cloth on which he
sits. He then with kind Of two-handled plane
made Of bamboo removes the sueculent matter.
Another man receives the leaves aslthey are
plsned and With his thumb-nail loosens and
gathers the fibers about the middle Of the leaf
which enables him by one effort to detach the
whole OF them from the outer skiing The fib-
res are next stepped in water for some time,
after which they are washed, in order to free
them from the matter that still adheres and
binds them together. They are now laid out to
dry and bleach on rude frames ofsplit bamboo.
The process of sleeping, washing, and expo
sing to the sun is repeated for some days iun
til the fbres are considered to be properl
blended. Without futher prepar alton they
are sent into town for exportationto China
Nearly all the islands near Singapore hre more
or less planted with pine-apples, which, at
rough estimate, cover an extent of two
thousand acres. The enormous quantity of
leaves that are annually suffered to- purify
Eonthe ground would supply fibre fol- a large
msnufactory Of valuable pine PIP lie Cloths
The fbres should be cleaned on the spot. For

HOW DOES YOUR FARM pAyt

Avery important question this, which every
fsrmer should be able to answer with goot
desssei OF deiniteness. 1t is not enough t.
knew that lone Is getting along in a genera
way, without knowing what part of the farm
Improbable and what not. 1t is possible to
know how much profit there is in raising and
fattening steer, how much in the animal pro-
duce of the whole farm. +
la goedeway to do this, is to keep an account
with the farm from the beginning to the end
Of the year. Under the head of debtor. put
down the interest on the cost of the farm, the
money paid out for new buildings, fences,
drains, for manures bought, for implements,
seeds, live stock, hired labor, taxes, &C., in
abort, all the necessary expenses for carrying
on the farm for one year. Then, on the credit
side, iput down all that the farm produces for
home consumption and for Market and all
that is added to its real value in the way of
ipuprpxemepts.s fit supports family COM
fortably, besides furnishing something to be
expended in improvements, it is undoubtedly
paying well. And if, besides this general
profit, each crop and each animal raised, af-
fords q clear and known profit, the farmer is
doing well, and he knows how it comes to
pass.

HUNGARIAN GRASS.

A correspondent in the Albany Cultivator,
IN answer to an inquiry for the best substi-
tute for hay, gives preference to the Hunga-
rian Grass over every thing else. He says
at grows at the rate of six or seven tons
pei ecrel The seed is of an oily nature, and
horses and cattle will eat the seed before corn
Y .or.oats, and the hay before timothy and clo-
Il Esrse Horses, having been fed on grain and
asgeea timothy hay, being changed to one half
the. grain and this hay, began to improve
Immediately in flesh, and their coats more
sleek and shiny. Cattle will do very well on
= thiss hay after the seed is threshed out. The
grass has good roots, grows deep in the
4 srSnnd, and will stand dry seasons much bet
.,teEtban any other kind of grass. The dryest
zssAsonssWill not make the grass wilt in the
einaiddie Of the day. After the grass is mown,
It will sprout or sucker very thick, and will
saaks much more pasture than timothy and
.r.eloyers after being mown, during the summer
snA fall In some sections, where timothy
hayssella for ten dollars per ton, the hay of
the Hungarian Grass brings from twelve to
fifteen dollars per TOM
