The Roller for Spring Use.

AS the season is approaching when the
roller should be brought into service, per.
init me to call the attention of readers to
its use. The time was, when, if a farmer
possessed one plow, and heavy too,hed
harrow, he was equipped for cultivating
the soil: but that time has passed away,
aud to a thorough agriculturist the roller
is almost as indispensable as the plOw.
The first use for the roller in the spring
of the year, is to smooth down the iue-
qualities of the moving ground, and settle
the earth around the grass roots which have
been loosened by the frosts. All moving
ground should be rolled as early as the
ground getssettled, so that the cattle can
pass over without sinking their feet into it.
The oats ground should be rolled direct
~ after the harrow or drill 1t is quite
an advanta,e to the crop, and greatly IA
cilita,es the harvesting, particularly If the
oats should fall.
Another, and one of the most important
uses of this valuable implement, is, to
crush the clods after plowing the cats
stubb:.e ; and have always found it best
to have the roller follow the plow pretty
closely, as clods crush more easily then
than after they have been exposed to the
sun.
In preparing the ground for wheat, the
roller should be used repeatedly: or so long
as any clods remain, and by all means let
the ground be rolled before the drill No
field is in complete order for drill-seeding
without it.

of dress and triukets is a ratification Of the
same, and the one who first assents gets

the propositions, and demanded the vest,
at the same time stripping off his old rags

of an exchange Of raiment. Tolo, being
peaccably inclined, then proposed to ex-
change their names, to which M'Kce
agreed Tolo, then, had lost his own name,
and s.ru,ted around, bigger than'life, with
the name of "M'Kee." But the treaty

Grating Wax.

This being the season for grating, we
publish, for the benefit of fruit-growers,
the old receipt for making grating wax,
at the same time adding new receipt rec
ommended by a prominent agricultural
journal.
The old standard grating wax is made
as follows: "Three parts rosin, three parts
beeswax, and two parts beef tallow. These
are all melted together, and the mixture
is usually applied with painters small
brush, or a wooden blade. 1t is frequent
ly worked up like shoemaker's wax by be-
ing sof,ened with little warm water, and
applied With the hand. Some also dip
strips Of cotton cloth, an inch or an inch
and half wide, into the hot wax, strip
ping it through between two pieces of
wood and applying around the graft"
We prefer the frss.named process.
The nep grating wax referred to, is
made and applied as follows: "Melt two
ounces of rosin slowly SO as to make it
throw of its spirit Of turpentine. When
it becomes perfectly clear, add little less
than an ounce alcohol, mix we'll, and at
once cork tight in bottle. Add alcohol
afterwards to make it q medium liquid,
and apply with a small brush or wooden
blade. Like the foregoing, it is said to
form an air-tight covering, which is the
object aimed at by all applicants in graft
ing"
The perfect covering for gratis is that
which will always adhere to the stock, and
will not crack in the cold, in the high
winds of spring, or run in the hot suns Of
summer.

The Grannies CT Democracy,

All are familiar with GranI-ma's story
of the "black man. When the good cd
dame wished to restrain any of her little
truants from fr,quenting forbidden resorts,
she would cry "Blaek man. "Black
r,an!' she whimpers, with a shudder,
"Back man catch youw This, her only
argument, sulEices for the time; she has
frightened the little fellows, and, coward
like-not from love of her, but from fear
of the Black man-they crouch aud hud-
die close to Grand-ma's knee. But, ere
long, they learn that the old woman $
BLACK man" story is all gammon-a
mere device-and now, when she screams
out "black man" at them, they may be
seen clapping their thumbs on their noses,
giving their fingers significant motion,
the door is shut in her face, and they are
of.
Analogous to this is the course Of the
sham Democracy. Heretofore, when they
saw any of their rank and .fIe likely to
desert them, they would raise the bug-a- boo
cry Of "Black Republicans" No other
argument was offered, no other was nee
essary, to scare the babes Of Democracy in
to line and drill. Aud, now, every Dem
ocra,ic paper throughout the land is self
constituted corporal guard to shrlek "Black'
Republicans. as if the whole LOcofoco
party was still timid and silly enough to
become terror stricken at their c!amor
But that old woman trick is played out
The boys have discovered the game
"Black Republican" aud "Disunion" pass
for frs: rate Juacon,L among them now,
and the Democratic party, like the old wo-
man, is left solitary aud alone, feeling as
ridiculous as folly in its prime.-GrecHe

He was confirmed by the Scuatc-all

Cultivation of Corn.

As the farmer will soon be called upon
to prepare for corn planting and cul'iva-
ton, word or two on the subject, based
upon practical experience, may not prove
uninteresting to some Of your readers.
My plan is as follows: l plow the
ground in the fall to the depth of six or
eight inches. then prepare a rich COM
post of hog manure and good loan. In
the spring, turn my compost heap thor
oughly, SO as to have it well incorporated.
harrow the GROUND once with heavy
spike barrow, and afterwards harrow or
pulverize with large four horse cul,iva-
tor, working it both ways. The use Of the
spike harrow is then continued until the
ground is perfectly mellow.
The ground is marked out four feet each
way, and shovel full of the compost al
ready referred to is divided between these
hills, or apply about four tablespoons
full of Baugh's raw bone phosphate to
each hill. From six to eight grains are
planted in the hill. When the plants
have attained the height of four inches,
l weed out to four stalks in q hill, and
keep the ground mellow with the culti-
vatOr.
by this simple method, l have increas-
ed my corn crop from fifty to seventy bush
els to the acre. This increase l attribute
to two causes. First, the deep plowiDg
and thorough pulverization Of the fer;ili-
ger. The young plants start at once, and
vigorously. Having something to feed
upon, and well prepared soil for the roots
to penetrate, the wire worm is headed of,
and the birds are not SO likely to disturb
the grains as when the termination is
slow.-Fdrmer and Gardener.

The Louisville Journal, in reference to
the paltry attempt of Senator Douglas, on
the floor of the Senate, TO create the i'm
preston that the shoc-makers' strike in
New England was the result Of the with
drawal Of the Southern custom, says !:
"These strikes are the strongest evidence
against that assumption, for labor never
attempts to coerce higher wages from cap
ital unless the times are brisk. Ii the or.
ders for manufactures have fallen oil, the
strikers would be playing into the hands
of their employers by quitting work when
they can be dispensed With pras;st.5.'

Garrison on Seward.

The great abolition organ OF Boston,
Tie LiLeratOr, edited by WILLIAM LLOYD
GARRISON, has severe editorial review Of
Senator Stewards speech, evidently written
by Mr.. Garrison himself. The writer says
he has always regarded Mr.. Seward as the
''incarnatiou Of political eircumspection,' y
and as incapable Of genuine ''uliraism." 3"
lie thinks "the recent speech, when close
ly analysed, will be seen to be but little,
if any, better than Mr. Webster's 7,h of
March speech, 1850" He adds, 'Mr.
Seward has gone backward, and gone
down, and he viii drag many along with
him ; and self recovery, under such cir
cumstances, is scarcely ever possible" !"
But the following paragraph contains the
essence Of the review:
"This speech greatly disnproints US !;
not on the score of rhetorical skill, or
power of condensation, or clearness of
statement, or historical accuracy, for it is
very credliable performance in these
particulars; but because it evinces, through
out, the adroit, calculating. heartlcss poll
tician, rather than the wise, courageous,
far-seeing statesman. 1t has no pulsations
Of life, no thrUbbiDgs of humanity it is
wholly destitute of moral feeling and
Of purpose. Instead of re asserting the
doctrine of an hrrepressible cOuflict' be-
tween freedom and slavery, it is a labor
ious attempt to show that there need be
no collision-certainly no unfriendy col
lision-between these forces, and that
there is no reason why they may not re.
main in juxtapositiou, without heat or
jealousy, al mfniuna."

How fair you were-bow dear you were-my tongue
