SrocK PAYS ALL THE TIME.-The head
ing of this article says the Valley Farmer,
was the remark of an old farmer the other
day, while deploring the failure of his
wheat crop. One year the wheat fails,
another The oats, another the corn; but,
says he, stock pays all the time. He
moreover, remarked That the farmers who
early give their attention to stock raisinu
had gone right on without sel-backs, and
bad out-stripped The grain growers.
There is, no dubt, much truth in the old
mans remarks. Stock is the surest and
renunerative. But in thickly settled re-
gions it is better and safer to divide the
interest between the two. They assist
each other and improve the farm. Waste
straw and the offai of the stock will go
far in fertilizing the soil and immproving
its capacity for productiveness. The
strength of the soil is greater desidera.
tum with the farmer. The soil is the
mine wealth-bis treasury-the bank Of
deposite. He must keep it good, or bis
protested, his reputation as a farmer is dis
honered.
1t is well to keep variety of stock as
we'll as to raise variety of other grain
crops. The general profits of each year
are thus kept nearly eaqual. Farming
may be done closer, less wasted and more
made.

CURING BEEr.-By most OF the modes
now in use. the beef becomes too much
impregnated with salt, and is not as a con-
sequence, so fine for eating. By the fol-
lowing process this difficulty is prevented,
and the beef will keep till the following
summer. To eight gallons of water add
two pounds Of brown sugar, one quart of
moiasses, four ounces of saltpetre, and fine
salt until it will float an egg. 1t has been
repeatedly tried and found very fine. A
famous beef eater says it is the only way.

War with the vniOn More Dan
9oFeHs than WAMl sf Cotton.

| The condemnation of several British
vessels as prizes was resisted by the agent
OF the British Government on the ground
that the public disturbances subsisting be-
tween different portions of the United
States do not constitute state of war
that no lawful blockade has been estab-
lished, and, in fact, that no particular
State, or States, can be treated as enemies
OF the Union.by its own Government. But
if, on the other hand, the South be an IN
DEPENDENT Government, in hostility to
that Union of which it formerly constitu.
ted a part, the right of tha latter to blpek-
ade its ports is as little open to dispute as
any right which can possibly exist under
the law of nations. What is it, then. that
is required of us No, only that we should
recognize the independence of the South
ern Confederacy, but that, we should for
bid the United States to carry on against
it one of the most legitimate operations Of
war, further at least than it might not in
terfere with our own convenience. This
is, in plain terms, that we should declare
war against the United States in order to
prevent them from using the only weapon
which, if any, they can have the slightest
hope of reducing their adversaries, call
them rebels or adversares, or what we
will, to submission. We cannot think
that there are many men in the country
who would, knowingly and with their eyes
open, recommend this course of procei-
dure. There are considerations tending
to show its shortsghtedness and impolicy
which may be urged on another occasion
For the present 1t may suffice to say that
ii would give shock to the system OF
public law throughout the world, by which
We should inevitably be the severest suf.
ferers in the end, and that the disastrous
effect of such an example set BY such a
country as England would be Infinitely
heightened by the glaring selfishness Of
the motive.- Manchester Eng Guar
