Early Vegetables.

Many farmers are deferred from at
tempting to produce very early vegeta-
bles, by an erroneous idea that the max.
ing of a hot bed is a complicated and a
difficult operation, while il is Just as SIM
pie as making bill of corn. Every man
who has garden, Of whatever size, if
he will once try the experiment of MAX
ing hot-bed. viii, we venture to pre-
dict, find the task 50 easy, and the resu Il
SO satisfactory, ihas he will never forego
the luxury afterwards. All that is ne
cessary is to make pile Of horse ma
nure two and half feet thick, with the
top sloping a little to the South, then sci
rough frame made of four boards nail
ed together at the corners, upon the bed
of manure, fill the frame with six inches
of garden soil and cover with window
glass. Any old. window will answer the
purpose, but it is better to have the bars
of the sash run only. one way, and to
have glass laid in the manner Of shin
giles.
The best plan to force tomatoes and
cabbages which may be transplanted from
the hot-bed to the open air without any
trouble. We have removed tomatoes in
blossom and had them all to live. If Gu
cunlbers or melons are forced, they sho'd
be planted in hower-pots, and in trans
planting them YOU turn the pot over upon
your hand and give it a gentle thump,
when the earth comes out in a solid lump
and the roots are not hurt in the least.
While the plants are growing, they must
be watered frequently, and on warm days
the sash should be raised few inches TO
give the plants air. We have found the
growing of plants under glass, from
small hot-bed, four feet by six, up to
large grapery for raising the Black Ham
burg and Frontignac grapes, the most
of horticultural operations.
Having the control of the climate bothin
heat and moisture, the plants can be
made to grow with vigor which they
rarely, if ever, exhibit in the open air
A hot-bed should be made from four to
six weeks before the time for planting

Low 10 TRANSFER PatIerns.

Mrs. Jane Weaver, in PetersOn's s Mag
azine, gives the following way to do it:
Transfer paper is certainly the most
easy and convenient method if it cannot
be purchased, it can always be made In
the following manner: Take a sheet of
thin writing paper, and with a piece of
wadding or flannel rub il all over with a
little sweet oil, carefully removing any
superfuity on the surface of the paper /;
then rub on to this oiled paper little col
or, either light or dark, according to the
color Of the material on which the work
is 10 be executed; if a dark cloth, for IN
stance, little chrome yellow is the best /;
if a light drab or any pale color, a little
common blue makes the lines perfectly
visible. This color must also be well rub
bed into the paper, so that none shall be
left on the surface. When the paper is
thus prepared, place it on the material and
lay over it the pattern to be transferred,
and with an ivory knitting-needle or
stilletto trace the outline of the pattern,
which will be found to be transferred TO
the material with perfect distinctness, if
properly managed.

Shoeing hens avoids The necessity Of

though light, has been good for the sea-
son, and even better than that grown IN
Missouri under similar circumstances. Il
is now, we think, a settled fact thai the
bottom lands Of Nebraska are well adapt
ed to the growth Of hemp. Whether the
uplalsls are so well adapted 70 its growth

are now regarded as the farmers princi-

the average price 800 per ton. or $50

We have taken some pains to ascertain

The expense Of a corn crop is about The
same as that Of hemp, ne. taking into ac-
count the cost of breaking, and may be
set down at S11OO. The average yield
Of corn, under our present imperfect mode
Of cultivation, is not more than so bushels

gives to Hemp S27.75 profits. Corn
S1.5O; and Wheat S4.OO. Hemp being
about II times more profitable than corn
and 2 times more than wheat.
We are ready to admit that the profits
of corn and wheat might be considerably
increased by better cultivation, and 50
probably might those Of hemp. And
there are some considerations in favor Of
hemp which have not been taken intO
account. It requires much less rain 70
perfect the crop; two or three good rains
in the early part of the season beipg
Sufficient, and the hot winds Of July and
August do not seem to effect it. Il is
far less likely to suffer from the dePre-
dations of hogs and cattle as both have
a national adherence for it. L is said,
too, that it does not exhaust the soil but
enriches it, that the crop improves by
being produced successfully on the same
soil.
4th. Is the market certain? To this
we reply it is always certain and ready
cash. The supply has never been equal
to the demand every part Of the world
demands it in large quantities, while the
supply is limited to Russia and some two
or three Of the United States.
We. would then say to the farmers Of
Nebraska, there is yet hope. Ease, COM
fort, independence and even ahuence are
within your reach. Z. W. U.

se~ Among the killed of the Confederate troops, in the fight at Santa Rosa Island, we no- tice with regret the name of Joseph H. Adams Of Augusta, Georgia. Young Adams was the eldest son of the late John M. Adams, and was ayoung man of great promise, and of most ire Proachable character. He was under eighteen years of age, and at the commencement of the rebellion, was removed by his Guardian from Princeton College to the College at Chapel Hill North Carolina, against the wishes of his family friends. Under the false idea of duty, he joined the Clinch Rifles at Augusta, and went to Pen. sacola, where he has fallen, and brought upon his excellent mother and family the deepest sor TOW.

A MISSOURI SCENs.-The army cores spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial is accompanying Fremont. He thus describes scene on a recent march:
 Occasionally the General halted a moment to chat with bashful damses in sun bonnets and hooped skirts-a courtesy which they will remem Der to the end of their lives. At one point, thin old matron with brace of buxom daughters and a gigantic African attendant, were drawn up at the corner of q lane to witness the armed pageant The old woman stood upon projecting rail oi the fence to command view of the line. When the General halted to speak to the blushing girls the old lady sung out, Is that ar Fremont talk in to my gals' The General politely lifted his cap. Wal, declare,' ferventiy ejaculated the marm,; it does one good to look at yer. I'spose you're arter old Claib Jackson-the dirty old scamp. hope you'll cotch him, but I'm afeerd you won't; he runs too fast. If I wor man I'd like to go and skulp him myself Here her Af rican Anakim broke in with a yah, yah, making splendid exhibition of glittering ivory. 'Old Missus all right on Mass Claib-wouldnt gib shucks for him skulp if she kotch him. aud the darkie indulged sly glance at his missus, and g wicked squint at the column, as if he desired to impress the troops with his convictions of the old woman's spirit and prowess."

 together large number of people from this snd neighboring towns. The fair at the Town Hall in the fore part of the day would indicate lack of interest in that department, but by Il o'clock the farmers produce in great abundance began

JUDGE SEYMOUR, PREsIDING
 State vs. Jenny Ten Eych.-This case has oc- cupied the attention of the Jury for the past three days. The Delft. is colored woman of about 8 years of age, who has lived fer some time in the family of Mir. Griswold Hump phrey of North Canaan. On the 7th of February, Jenny entered the sleeping apar rtment of Mir. Humph- rey, arrayed in the garments of her father, or as her learned counsel explained, "a Kossuth hat, frock coat which reach down to the bottom of her night-dress, and her brooches tied around her neck with the seat over her head and the legs sticking up like horns." Mr. Humphrey s pantaloons were lying across his feet ard Jcn- ny abstracted therefrom his pocket-b book con- taining $48. MT. Humphrey woke and suppos- ed he had seen the devil, he was much relieved with finding it is merely Miss Ten Eyck
 The defence argued that Miss Ten Eyck was insane. Counsellors Hollister and Warner sup ported this view of the case Doctors of all classes were called-Root Hog and Die doctors -Books English and French were cited, and powerful pleas made to the Jury.
 The Judges charge was very impartial, and the Jury after beingout for half an hour brought in 8 verdict of Guilty.
