BLOCKADE.

The blockade of the Southern ports and the Mississippi river are beginning already to have it's legitimate effect. We copy the following from the Iowa State Journal, which shows learly tbat the blockade will have to be re- moved from the Mississippi, or the Northwest will be ruined:
 The blows dealt by the Administration to punish dsloyaty are most fearful in their re- coil. The loyal Northwest is being ruined by measures taken to harasS and disturb the country of the Southern Mississippi. Wheth- CT the Administration knows it or not is d question somebody else must answer. Wheat in this city, of good merchantable quality, will not bring twenty-five cents bushel; corn has been sold and delivered one hundred miles east of us for seven cents per bushel, and sti II down--down is the fearful tendency. It all ways appeared to us that the better policy was to drain the South of specie and concentrate it here.
 The loyal Northwest and the disloyal South feel alike the effects of the blow. The last stimulated to greater endeavors, sows broad CT acres, and lives while we languish. We can tell the EsbIood invoking" advocates of this war, that the .plain men' of MT. Lin- con's proclamation are becoming aroused.- They see ruin staring them in the face They see every avenue WHICH Has ullHeFUOa brought wealth choked up-more, they see evidences of the animus of this war, and all of them, Republicans as well as democrats, are begin ming to think From every hill top of Iowa the cry will soon come, s'PEAcE, take off re- strictions, unlock the channel of trade, give us peace and life." We know it: we state nothing from hearsay or conjecture; it is the monotony of the people which will become stronger with the need. The Mississippi must be opened and the northwest saved.
 The effects which have resulted from the blockade of the Mississippi in the Northwest will speedily be experienced, indeed, is al- ready being experienced in Kentucky The Southern States have heretofore been the prin- cipal market for the sale of the surplus produc- tions of our farmers. This trade, however is now efectually cut off by the high handed measures of the Lincoln Administration. It is said that from every hill top in Iowa the cry will soon come 'Take off the restriction; unlock the chanels of trade give us peace and life." Will Kentucky be less determined than Iowa. Wifi she not rise in her might. ard reopen the avenues of trade, and save her people from the bankruptcy which threatens to engulph them.- Louisville Courier.

MAsscwFAr BEANs-From observation
says wr.ter-I am forcibly impressed that
there are bus few farmers who realize the
wsvth Of marrowfa. beans, compared with
Others that are Geseraly raised. Some far
mers think that if they plan. few beans they
must occupy some odd cornsr, or some poor
spot Of ground.
My advice would be to procure the marrow,
as they will yield on good ground from one
third to double moro than | have tried will
give my experience Three years ago plow-
ed and planted, from the 3th to the 18th Of
June, eighty feet square in drills about thirty
three iaeheS apart aud sixteen inches in the
row, on land suitable to raise good corn: and
l harvested six bushels of good beans /
would recommend planting as early as corn,
because it give better weather to harvest them
generally, which is very essential to keep them
In good merchantabe order.

thrown on the tongue every Is minutes, until

Eight Reasons for Planting an Orchard.

l. DR.. Dwight used to remark to BIS pupils
&t Yale, that the raising of fruit was tie
cheapest and p!easantest way of entertaining
friends. We are creatures of society. and il is
q very important object to make the social
board attractive to all who honor US with their
Friendships. A dish of we'll grown apples is
always wholesome and acceptable.
g. An orchard is always an ornament to
the farm beautiful blossoms, its summer dra.
perry of green, and its autumn burden of vel
low and ruby fruit No farm is compiete
without it acres of orchard.
3. The cultivation Of fruit is a very pleas.
ant occupation, and has an important indu.
ence upon the mind and heart OF the cultiya.
tor. 1t requires higher intelligence than the
growing Of the ami nal crops. II fosters fore.
cast and hopefulne.s, aud tends to cheerful
temper.
Z, It makes home attractive-chldren ere
universally fond of fruit, and the home where
4sli luxury is always enjoyed, will be more
loved on that account. IA will be in pleas.
RHt contrast with many homes around him.
5. Is will tend to guard children against
vice and crime. So strong is the desire for
fruit, that they may steal it if it be not pro-
vided for them at home. And the boy that
grows up plunGerinS bis Reighbors fruit yard
and orchard, is very likely to steal more valu-
able things Whea he becomes & man.
6. 1t is very sure Investment An apple
tree, il well planted, is about as hardy as an
oak, and sure to bear fruit according to the
labor bestowed upon IT, When houses burn
up, and banks fail, and rail road stocks de-
precatc, the orchard will yield dividends.
I. 1t is not only q sure Investment for your,
self, but for your children. No real estate in
their Inheritance is likely to lie SO permanent
ly valuable. An orchard in good soil will bear
fruit for hundred years
s. 1t is perpetual Indictment to thanks
giving to a bouatiful Creator 1t yields its
burden Of precious fruit yearly, giving large
returns for the labors Of the LuSJaudman, and
calling hin to behold the wisdom and good.
ness Of Providence. Do not fail to plant that
long deferred orchard, and while you are at it,
select good marketable fruit The best is the
cheapest

Ro4srINa.-Roasting meat, in an oven, is
next to broiling, and generally preferable in
the hands of q careless, or slow, or inexperi
enced cook. But piece OF meat to be roast
ed we'll, should be put into an oven already
hot, so as to scar the surface, in order to re-
