EXCELLENT MAxINs.-Among the victims
ola steamboat explosion some years since, was
Stephen Allen, man of high and excellent
character, formerly Mayor OF New York, be"
loved and esteemed by all who knew him.
In his pocket.book was found the following
collection of admirable counsels to all, and
especially to the young:
Keep good company or none. Never De
idle. Ifyour hands cannot be useIully EN-.
ployed, attend to the cultivation Of your mind.
ALWAYS speak the truth. Make few promises.
Live up to your engagements. Keep your
own secrets, if you have any. When you
speak to a person look him in the face. Good
company and good conversation are the very
sinews Of of virture. Good character is above
al things. Your character cannot be essen.
TALLY in ured except by Jour own acts. IT
any one speaks evil Of you, let your lite be
such that no one will believe him. Drink no
kind of Intoxicating liquors. Ever live, mis-
fortune excepted, within your income. When
YOU retire 10 bed think what you have been
doing during the day, Make ro hnste to be
rich, if you would prosper. Small and steady
gains givr competency, with tranquility OF
mind. Never pluy at any game of rhanrs'
Avoid temptation, through fear you may not
withstand it. Never run into debt until you
see way to get out again. Earn money be-
fore you spendit. Never borrow, IT you can
possibly avoid it. Do not marry until you
are able to support wife. Never speak
evil of any one. Be just before you are geenIeer.
Gus. Keep yourself innocent, if you would be
happy. Save when you are young to spend
when you are old. Read over the above
maxims once week"

:fmntrs' It'll S9fliist&llal1g
Farming vs.. Planting.

Which will pay? This is disputed point.
Agricultural writers on both sides have exaust'
ed all their argumentive force, in sustaining
their respective positions; and yet the subject
still presents an open field, not only for specu-
lation, but for many practical suggestions.
There are many persons who have never
thought upon this subject sufficiently to per
ceive the distinction which is justly made by
writers in our agricultural papers.
Farming is that system of management on
farm, which, without regard to present cost
or profit, aims at perfection in every particu'
lar, and is satisfied with the mere success Of
every operation.
Planting is that system of energetic indus
try which stretches every nerve to its utmost
tension for pecuniary profit, with apparently
no concern for the future.
Now the question is which will pay? Will
not some of our farmers give US their views
on this important question? We know that
many take the middle ground, and by com
bining the two systems, their labor is crowned
with abundant success but we would like to
see the question fairly discussed-Farming
against Planting Planting against Farm,
ing. Who will write first?

Horses.

Those who have the care of horses are fire.
uuently very negligent in the manner of dis
charging their duty. There is no animal in
existence so susceptible to the effects of dirt
impure air, bad bedding, &c, as the horse
Ali excrements in horses stable, however
small in quantity, should be removed at leas,
once day, and /. clean, dry place left for the
animal to stand or lie down upon. Many a
horse when stabbed for an hours feeding, is
placed in close, filthy place, without breath
of pure air-there obliged to make his meal
We would almost as soon think of eating in
such place ourselves, as of compelling a
horse to do it. If you have no windows in
your stable, by all means make one at once
or knock off a board, to let in light and pure
air. When you have removed the droppings
from the stable at night, strew the floor with
dry straw or muck the value of the manure
will more than repay the expense--besides
rendering your horse healthier.
Horses take cold very easily; for this reason
they should never be turned from warm stall,
whe they have perspired for an hour, di:
rectly into damp pasture. Neither should
a horse ever be left to lie down over night in
damp pasture where there is no shelter, but
let shed be built, to which they can retire
at night. A horse will never lie down in an
open lot when he can find a place of shelter
and if there is nothing better, they will always
get near a fence or tree at night.

The Cadenhead Plow Stock.

This is an improvement on the Foreman
Patent Iron Stock, and is to farmers the most
valuable invention which has appeared upon
the stage for many, many years. Any far
mer who is at all acquainted with the laws OF
mechanism, can see at q glance that this
tlow.stock will run deeper with less strain
upon the horse than any plow.stock heretofore
invented; and simply because the draft ia
brough. nearer the point of the plow. We
have seen medium sized horse turning over
the soil as deeply as it is usually done by two
horses with large turning plow; while the
horse walked along with as much apparent
ease as though he were only drawing com
mon scooter.
1t being made Of iron, it is always ready,
and is constructed that with the same stock
the farmer can work any kind Of q hoe OF
plow that he may fancy. ANY kind of work
can be done with this stock that can be done
with any other invented plow. We would ad
wise every farmer in our District to get this
pillow stock. 1t may be had of Messrs. FCI;

"SHouLD THE SUCKERS BE REMOVED FROM
Corn ?n-Not unless you have plenty Of
boys, with nothing else for them to do. The
argument in favor of removing the suckers
from corn, suppose to be this: The suckers
rob the stalks of nourishment necessary to
their growth and perfect development, and
appropriate it to their own use. They never
have but little if any corn upon them. conse-
quently are of no value except for fodder.
think it will not pay to remove them,
unless, as I said above, there is no other
work for the boys; and perhaps not then,
unless it be to keep them out Of mischief.
Suckers are not often thrown out from corn
on poor, hungry soil !; and when they are,
it is conclusive evidence to me that every
thing is as favorable a. it can be to the growth
and perfection Of the crop; that it is growing
as fast as it can; that the roots are taking up
the necessary food for tho plant as fast us It
can be manufactured ESQ to speak, into corn,
