Beef at One Year Old,

4. NJ! CRowELL has been very successful
in rearing calves so as to fit them for the
butcher at one year old. When few days
old he commences feeding themon sour milk,
keepiaestheln on the same kind of food dur-
ing the. summer, taking good care to feed
them uniformly, but not very abundantly, so
as to keep them a growing thrifty, without
forcing them too rapidly. In the fall they
were put in the Stables, and fed on hay, and
a little meal, increasing the quantity of the
latter gradually, with view of fitting them
for beef" in the spring, at one year DID, or
a little under These calves at eleven months
old, look like young oxen, and are estimated
.oweigh about 600 pounds each, alive. i -

A ShifSless Farmer.

just take glimpse at him. II throws his
manure out under the caves Of his barn, and
lets it lie in sun and air, teaching away half
of It's strength into the neighboring streams.
He neglects, also, to make use of many other
useful matters which might 90 to increase the
compost heap-sueh rs bones. ashes, chip
dirt, contents of priyy. forest leaves, drop
pings of hen roosts, muck, etc., etc. Yetkat
the same time, he buys stable manure at the
neighboring town, and carts it home at a
considerable expense.

IN small numbers, a very little work with IL
weedlng-hoe or dock-extractor would have
headed them off entirely. But now, having
had ffii swing for several years, they laugh
at the shiitless mans puny efforts and windy
threats. But this is not the worst of the
evil. The neighboring farmers are active,
enterprsing men, and have done their best to
keep their land clear of foul roots, but the
seeds blow over in clouds from the. shiftless
mans fields, and they are almost in despair

sorry, and hopes good time viii soon come
for fence-mending; but he don't repair it at
once. Bad becomes worse; hungry cattle
leap the lettering fence, and down it all
comes !, wheat fields, and corn fields, and
hay fields, are traTnpled down; the farmer
suffers loss, and very likely he and his neigh
bors are soon having a delightful lawsuit.

A Tool-house for Farms.

Every farm should boast Toulouse, so
arranged that every implement should have
its proper place assigned it, and fixed prin-
ciple with the farmer should be to see and
require everything to be in its proper place,
as Soon as the workmen are done with it. ~
A systematic arrangement Of this kind, fully
carried out, would in short time become a

Selecting Seed Potatoes.

Almost every man has his own peculiar
method of selecting and cultivating potatoes,
and scarcely any two exactly agree on G very
point. One man follows the moon; another
disregards the moon, but carefully follows
the indications of buds in oaks, beach. or
maple; third plants only large and 50 und
seed; a fourth prefers "chets," and sd on
through a score ofyaiiations Now, it ii no
part of our BUSINESS to set up an individual
opinion, or to overlook the experience of
others; bat We shall venture to offer some
general remarks, founded, we believe, on the
philosophy Of common sense.
Z In raising animals, the best specimens are.
Or should be, selected for breeding; the best
Wheat should be selected for seed, the best
Corn, the best Oats; in raising turnips, cab
b2aages, onions, beets, pumpkins, the best s eed
should be selected Nor do we know my
exception to this rule, in either the animal or
vegetable kingdom. BY what experience or
3 process of reasoning should potatoes be tre Eat
, ed as nothing else is treated. If farmers Sc
leeted their worst animals for breeding, or
their worst grain for seed, would not degen-
eracy be the inevitable result Every quail
$ ty ofpotatoes is planted. and every quality
IS raised. II each farmer would, immediate
" after digging, lay aside for seed the very
first of each variety Of potatoes, and in the
spring, divide each into about four or five
parts for planting, we have not the least
doubt that, with ordinary care, not only good
yields, but good potatoes, would, in nearly
every instance be the result. According to
our experience, the idea that good seed pota-
toes should not be cut, is simply absurd. #
good seed were invariably selected, potatoes
would n not run out; and this running out,
induced, probably by carelessness in select
ing, is, we, believe, then main cause of rot.

" They style thcms Ives the National Union
Democra Cyl, as r'llie simple name Of demo.
tral was not always the synonym Of Union

Per contra: We observe that democratic

signs of secession in hrs State, says the main
difficulty OF secession will be with the Chero.
kee country and the WIG districts of middle
Georgia. whcre Tie onion },eing IS rery strong.
So that. in Georgia, from this d,mocratic rep
rescntation, we should suppose the name
OF democrat was synonym of secession and
dsunon. and from the other fact, that the
great leader of the Doaslas wing of the le.
mociacy in that State. Hon. a. Ii. S,cpbens.
is fully committed against the disunior

infer that the proper, Georgia prefix to the
