BoLD R1RBERy. AT about noon on
Saturday last, three men called at
the house of Valentine Swind, q
German, who keeps Q public house

After finishing the meal, they re-
quested rooms in which to retire,
stating that they were tired and
sleepy. Mr. Swind being absent,
Mrs. Swim | showed them to Q large
room containing four beds, where
she left them, supposiny, OF course
that they had lain down to sleep. -

IMPROVING LOW LANDS.

After haying is over and the Spring grain
is secured, the enterprisng farmer will look
to his low lands and see how they can be i'm
proved.
Meadows covered with soil, carted on from
higher grounds, are often the most produc-
tive OF any on the farm. They require at.
tention, as all moving grounds do. and should
have a top.dressing Of some kind every Sc
cond year. This insures crop OF hay, while
liz gives the advantage to the cultivated
grasses over the natural coarse kinds.
The cost Of covering an acre Of coarse
meadow is not very great when there are
gravelly knnlls near by, and if the old mead
ow has crop Of wild grass on it, let the
grass stand and be buried by the gravel,
loan, &c. All viii help to fill up the une-
ven surface. and the old grass is more tho
roughly killed than when it is cut aud then
buried.
Cattle are very fond Of feeding on such
moving grounds after the hay harvest. this
proves the sweetness of the haryest-and the
difference between the natural aud cultiva-
growth.
Open bitches, parallel with each other.
should be maintained as long as it is expect
ed to obtain English hay. They should be
cleaned out occasionally, and the contents
should be spread over the grass. Under.
drains cannot easily be cleared out, and they
are not so good generally as open drains.
There are not many acres on any farm
that need understanding, yet some writers
are urging the importance Of costly under
drains before they have been tried long
enough to determine whether they will not
soon choke up.
Around dwelling houses and other build
ings all drains should be covered. But in
open fields il is not easy to see the great ad-
vantage Of underdrains where farm lands are
not over Fifty dollars an acre. There are
cases where stones are in the way and ought
to be hauled from the field. They may be
thrown into the bottoms Of bitches and bu-
ried. They will let the surplus water per-
colate through them for year or two. but
generally they will be choked up with mud
and not answer any good purpose as drains.

AS THY DAY THY STRENGTH
SHALL BE-"

/
A weary journey lies before thee still,
Thou pilgrim TO fair and happy land
Through the dark valley up the ragged hill,
And DER the trackless waste of burning sand,
Thine aching feet must tread while mighty foes
viii ever strive thy progress to oppose;
Yet, fear mol, God himself will watch DER thee.
And as thy day thy strength shall surely be-"
Friends may forsake thee, or, like summer flowers,
Fade one by one before thy mournful view;
The simple joys that eladdened toilsome hours
May pass as swiftly as the early dew;
Disease and pain thou mayest be called to bear,
Or penury's distressing weight of care;
But love is mingled with adversely;
And as thy day thy strength shall surely be-
Thy pilgrim garh and manners may exotic
The scorn and anger Of the worldly throng;
Unkindness and injustice soon may blight
Hopes fairest blossoms thou maycst wander on,
Alone and sad, to weep thy bitter loss,
And heavily may press thy daily cross;
Still, midst the storm, the bow Of promise see,
For " as Thy day thy strength shall surely be-"
And in thy latest moments, when with Death
And Satan thou must combat, and not yield;
When with dim eye, and quicky-heaving breath,
Thou enterest on that solemn battlefield.
The Saviour, who has succored thee through life,
Will nerve Thy spirit for the closing strife,
Will lead thee on to glorious victory;
For " as Thy day thy strength shall surely be-

resi- FOOD FOR WORKING HORSES.


The London Omnibus Company, says an
exchange, have recently made report on
the feeding Of horses which discloses some
interesting facts. II seems that the compa
ny use no less than 5000 horses 5000 Of
this number have for their food bruised oats
and cut hay and straw, aud the other 5000
get Whale oats and hay. The allowance ac.
corded TO the first was-bruised oats, 10 lbs;
cut hay, II lbs; cut straw % lbs. The al.
lowance accorded t. the second--unbruised
oats. 10 lbs. uncut hay. l3 lbs. The bruis.
ed oats, cut hay and cut straw amounted 10
90 lbs, and the unbruised oats, &c, to %
lbs. The horse which had bruised oats, cut
hay and straw, consumed &c lbs. per day,
and il appears that il could do the same
work as,Nell, aud was kept in as good con-
dtion as the horse which received 50 lbs.
per day. Here was a saving Of 6 lbs. per
day on the feeding Of each horse receiving
bruised oats, cut hay and cut straw. The
advantage Of bruised oats aud cut straw over
unbruised oats aud uncut hay is estimated
at FIVE cents per day for the company's 6,
600 horses. Il is by no means an unimpor.
tant result which this experiment has sup.
Piled. To the farmer who expends large
sum in support Of horse power, there are two
points this experiment clearly establishes,
which in practice must be profitable /; first,
the saving Of food TO the amount Of 8 lbs.
per day, aud, secondly, no loss Of horse pow.
er arising from that living.

Our correspondent "a Young Farmer"
requests us to answer the above inquiries.
Ia reply TO the first, we have TO sav that we
introduced into the State the first Guano
that was used in Alabama, as early as isis,
and we have been using il every year since,
ON both field crops aud garden vegetables,
and according TO our experience and practice,
il does anything else but imposerish the soil.
The use Of Guano stimulates the capacity Of
the plants to consume plant food in the soil ;
the result i large or grestly increased
crop. By the use Of Guano there il no loss

that consumed BY the crop. The next year
IRON the same land without the use Of Guano,
a much smsller crop NAV be gathered, all
other things equal; by the use Of the Guano,
YOU obtained large crop the Iirst year, and
without IL smaller the second year had
you used no Guano at all. you would have
gathered small crop both years. Under a
proper system Of culture, deep and level
plowing, rotation Of crop and composing,
as far as practicable, such as is taught in the
Cotton Planter and Soil, you need have no
fears that Guano will impoverist your land.

nipulated Guano, which induces me TO pre-.

In composing stork.yard manure, have
used both lime and ashes. believe, how
ever, il is best to spread them ON the land
separately, at least the lime.

results more certain and satisfactory are OBJ.
