Farming Hints for the season.

Farmers are now making preparation to put
IN their crops. The ground should be we'll and
deeply plowcd, TO secure good bed for the
spreading Of tho roots of plants. We often
see farmers plow their land in such careless
rnanner, moi plowing more than three or four
inches deep, that we cannot see how they can
produce anything at all. "What Is worth do
ing at all. is worth doing well'' and an addi-
tional day in doing work we'll, may secure an
additional wagon load of product. Avoid hasty
aud superficial blowing, but cut straight, deep,
aud narrow burrows.
MANURE.-Have you any manure to apply 2
then draw il out and thoroughly mix il with
your soil, and this will render it Of daable
value
Prepare your corn ground WELL make
it mellow by narrowing and cultyatiDg seye-
raj times; do not be afraid of losing few days
time at this, it viii repay you well; corn spreads
Its roots very much, ii tie soil is mellow, aud
this it cannot DO ii tie soi.i hard. See tha,
your seed corn is good by sprouting some IN a
POT 10 your window or some ether warm place
This may save ono Or two replantings, aud se-
eere your corr from carly fall frosts. Plant
plenty Of seeds, and thin out evenly, and thus
avoid the loss CT third of The crop, missing
and uneven hills.
TIE KITCHEN GARDEN Also will require
your attention at this season, and see that it is
we'll cared for; for good vegetable garden will
lie the source of many good dinner. Do not,
from mistaken notion Of economy, shat it VIII
not pay for you to spend few hours Tor sore-
raj days during the season, in the garden, COM
pels your wife to dig the garden while the work
property belongs to you, / DO not say you should
do all the work in the garden. believe il is
quite congenial to the Baturs Of the ladies' to
plant and take care Of seeds ard plants, but it
your duty TO assist them at least in the rougher
part of the work. While you arc az il do tie
work well, sFeds it dee? and make the soil fne

. WATERMELON CULTURE.--Mr James Il.
Hopkins, of Oneida county, n Y. in the Couu-
try Gentleman, makes the annexed sugge stious
relative to the culture Of the Watermelon, and
they are worthy Of all consideration, AIr. Hop.
kius says
There are few people that do not like water
melons; jet We find lev of our farmers who
grow them with any degree of SUCCESS in their
gardens. | started 10y seeds in hot-be set
them cut in bill dug deep and large, made
rich and mellow with sand.
There are three things to bo observed and
requisite to success in growing watermelons.
First, early planting--ihe hot-bed will help as
when the season is late. Second, deep, rich.
veil prepared soil. Third, it. must be sandy,
naturally or artifcially. Observe these thres
requisites, and, with proper cale, success is al
says sure. To illustrate the necessity for a
deep, mellow, well>prepared soil. will mention
that l measured roots fron hill of wateru.el-
ons last autumn which were over lime feet in

PoTAToEs WITH Corn .--A oogi aspordent Of

reIience in planting Corn and Potatoes iu the

Having never seen an account in any agri-
cultural paper, OF any one having raised pota-
toes with corn 10 the same lill, | thought
would try the experiment last spring. had
finished the potatoes that intended to plaut
but having some small ones left, concluded to
plant them in the Same hills with patch Of
corn, and mark the effect. planted the co1u
upon the 25h Of May, the season being Sc wet
could not plant them sooner. dropped the
corn and potatoes together, hoed them at the
same time, and dug the potatoes soon after cut
ting up the corn. The ground was lot first
rate, but the corn was an average crop, full as
good as some near by where the corn was plant
ed alone. The potatoes were FIRST rate--never
saw finer. shall try again this spring, and if
they do as last year, shall continue to plant
them together. 1.-THE tao crops do as we'll TO-

Now, gentlemen, let NE congratulate you
and myself upon the fact that, notwitb-
standing the pronuDciamento that was Is
sued by'my friend Mr.. Tyler, (who is call
ed Chairman OF the Democratic State Gen.
trail Conmittee), against this Convention,
it appears that you haze had the hardihood
y the presumption to assemble here to-day
to take your position, and to let your de-
termination be known that you will stand
by that position regardless of the conse-
quences. This is no time for timid eouu,
sells or timid men. Let those who hesi-
tate in entering upon this movement re-
tire from it until they find that it is one
in which they can take part with perfect
safety. [Cheers.] We want able, deci-
ded, and energetic men to carry forward
this movement and will surely triumph.
1t is merely question of time-that
is all-and We can afford to wait; we can
afford to be beaten, to be defeated, if it
must be so; but let US appeal to the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania; let US appeal to the
people of every Northern and Southern
State in the Union, to say whether the
position We have taken here to-day is not
the carrect one, and if so it must be tri.

Bayard Taylor in the New York Mercu-

The exclusive engagement, by the pro
prietors of the Nesc York Mercury, of the
tsanted American tourist aud author,
Bayard Taylor, Esq, is among the most
brilliant OF the mary journalistic enter
prises of this journalistic age. The an
nouncement Of this arrauge@ent has been
greeted With fur0re of mingled surprise
and admiration, Cd the part Of the public,
and not only has the literary world been
aroused to decided pitch Of excitement
but all other circles have likewise been
brought to the Qui i-vioe of expectation and
interest.
The variety and piquaney Of Mr. Tay-
lor's adyeatures romantic and in-
teresting scepes-the thrilling incidents
among which his path has lain, and
che fresh, sprigbtly, strictly conscientious
style OF his writings, will render them Pc
euliarly appropriate to the columns of a
paper that aims to be and is, at once
brilliant and ehaste in tone. The gener-
al title, chosen for these contributions, is
nSTRAY CHAPTERS OF LIFE AND TRAv-
EL"-a simple but expressive head, un-
der which, not only the characters and
customs of other lands Will be portrayed,
but the voyager's own personal adven-

April 3oth, is entitled "THE FIRST JOUR-
NEY | EVER MADE" and is all that
could possibly be desired, for fascinating
interest, Instruction, and amusement. The
author considers this first journey to have
been, perhaps, the most interesting of a.
ny, and he has certainly made glorious
bit in describing it.
The recent engagement of our great
American artist, Felix 0. c. barley, was
a master stroke of enterprise on the par;
Of the MERCURY, and indicated aha,

Paris Charlrarg what it is-all are un-
der the control of Darley; and when two
such instruments as bis pencil and Bay
ard Tayor's pen are brought together, to
enrich the columns Of family paper,
We may indeed wonder at the progress oi
weekly literature, and the enterprise Of
publishers.
The Propretors Of the Mercury de-
serve great credit for having made this
acquisition to their already brilliant corps
of contributors, and although the expense
has unquestiouably been enormous, there
is not particle of doubt that the read
ing public will most gladly second their
efforts 10 give additional lustre and so.
Iidity to home reading.
As might naturally be expected, the
demand, for the MERCURY of April 30th
containing the first of Bayard Taylor
journeys, is entirely unparalleled in news
paper history, and the rush for it, at at
the book stores and news depots through
out the country. plainly attests the i'm
mense popularity of the talanted traveller
A further proof in the same direetion, il
further proof were desired. may be found
in the fact, that the subscriptions received
by Messrs. Caldwell, Southworth aud
Whitney, the prOprictors of the MERoU-
RY, since the acouncement OF Bayard
Tay lor's engagement, amount, as We are
credibly informed, to over Fee Hundred
Dollars q Day, in addition to the enor-
nous sales of booksellers and news a.

Uranium through the head of the barrel

of two feet and leaving his legs sticking
up in the air. Before be could suffocate
he was drawn out, looking like nam
