How 10 Gr0W Peanuts.

A correspondent Of the Country Gentleman, -Eri-
ting from Seotts Hill, N. Essays =" The principal
crop raised in this vicinity is the Pesnu or ground
peas as they are called. They promise to be very
good, as the season has been very favorable fort them
In my section Of the country there are one hundred
thousand bushels raised. We consider them more
profitable than cotton where the land is suitable for
their culture. The following is themOde Of eultiva
ion. The ground is well broken and then checked
OF two ana half feet each way. Two shelled peas
IN the hill. After they up, they cultivated,
by running q sWeey sixteen or eighteen inches in
width both ways, after which the ground is stirred
well around the plant, and all the grass taken out
Very little dirt put around the plant as nearly level
culture is the best. This process of working must
be continued two weeks, until they meet and cover
the ground, when the grass viii cease to grow which
is abOus three months from the time Of planting
The pea grows entirely in the ground. They bios
som as the field pea, but they put out a stem from
the bloom which penetrates the ground about three
inches, when the pea forms on the end of it. They
are dug with ploW made for the purpose, passing
under the bunch, Of sufficient depth to loosen the
ground, when the bunch is drawn from the grOnnd.
and set up until they are thoroughly dry when the
are put in stacks and picked of at leisure. 1t sa
difficult matter for an experienced person to know
when they are ripe enough to dig but when nearly
all the leaves are shed, they win do for digging.

Cutting off Cows Teats.

Cows sometimes have extra teats, Civ
ing little or no milk, ard often very much
in the way of milking. These may
readily be removed, according to state-
ment of S. Edward Todd, in the Boston
Cultavator, and we copy his account of one
operation!
"Some four years ago, one of my best
cows (then heifer) had teat, as large
as a mans thumb. close to one of the
hindermost teats. The calf would suck
It. but we could not milk it, because it was
so small and so close to the large one
As such an arrangement was very un-
pleasant when milking, ventured to try
an experiment atremoving the small one.
The cow was tied securely in the stall by
her head, and her two hind legs tied to.
gether, so that she could not kick, Now,
with the pliers, twisted the ends of g
piece of very small wire together, after
it had been put round the teat close to the
roots or large end of it, the wire wa:
twisted up so tightly, that all circulation
was cut off and in about three or foul
weeks the teat dropped off; and the base
of it healed up neatly, leaving no issue
The teat has never given US any trouble
since. 1t never produced soreness in iht
udder, as / feared it might, while the wire
was on it, and after the teat dropped of
healed IN few days.

Mr.. Edward EFerett'S Defense or
the Republican Party.

Mr.. Edward Everett, gentleman well
known as the Bell candidate for the Vice
Presidency in the recent canvas, has
written long letter to some person in
Virginia, in which he makes distinctly the
following declarations:
l. That the South placed the conserva-
tive Forth in false and an indefensible
position by the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, and the presevering efforts
to force slavery into the Territory of Kan
sas, by surprise, fraud, and violence,
against the known wish Of an overwhelm.>
ing majority of the people.
2. That leading Southern politicians
have, for thirty years, been resolved to
break up the Union as soon as they ceas.
ed to control the United States Govern.
ment, and the slavery question was but a
pretext for keep up agitation and rallying
the South.
8. That the South has levied an unpro=
voked war against the Government of the
United States, the mildest and most beni-
fcent in the world, and has made it the
duty Of every good citizen to rally to its
support.
a. That, after the election was decided,
the dlsunionists would not wait for orERr
ACTS, because they knew none would or
could be committed.
B. That, after the Presidential election,
the accredited leaders of the Republisan
party, including the President elect, uni-
formly pledged themselves to respect the
rights Of the South-the two Houses In a
like manner pledging themselves,
8. That the leaders OF the secession
movement were determined not to be sat-
isfed.
2. That this conflict has been forced
upon US to crafty the aspirations Of am
| tlous men.

Relieving ChOked Cattle.

A Portland correspondent of the .NsiC
England Farmer gives the following easy
and simple remedy. If any of our read
ers have occasion to try it, will they please
write us the result -" Ike instant a
creature becomes choked, no matter what
with, the throat becomes dry, and the
longer the substance remains, the dryer
the throat. The following is sure
remedy. Take some oil, no matter what
kind, and hold the creatures head up and
turn down about one gill of oil, and then
let go of the head, and the creature will
heave it out in two seconds? l have tried
it for years, and knew it to fail"

To Keen Butter Sweet.

DIR. Edison Smith contributes to the
american .Agrieulturist the following di-
rections for preserving butter in good
condition for any length Of time. In
May or June, when butter is plenty, work
it thoroughly two or three times, and add
to the last working nearly one grain of
saltpeter and teaspOOnful of pulverized
loaf sugar to each pound of butter. Pack
1t tightly in stone jars to within two inches
of the top and fill the remaining space
with gtrong brine. Cover the jars tightly,
and bury them in the cellar bottom, where
the butter will be keyt unhurt for long
time.

Resi- nenth fOr Settlng Nine.

A correspondent of The Homestead re-
lates the following experiment:
On the 8th of April we set two pals of
milk, weighing forty-seven pounds ten
ounces, In two tin pals ten inches deep.
The next day we set the same quantity
of milk from the same cows two inches
deep in pans. These were placed on the
same shelf with the first, and of course in
the same temperature, which was near
60o. In four days the first milk was SOUR
and was skinned, yielding three pounds
two ounces of cream, which being allowed
to stand one day, made one Pound eighr
ounces Of butter. The other milk, stand.
ing the same length of tirne, yielded -four
pounds eight ounces of cream, making
two pounds one ounce of butter,-a diff.
ference of nine ouIces in faver of setting
the milk shallow, This is a gain of 81

A writer in the Dairy Farmer. is of
the opinion that for milch COWS, clover
hay should be cut as soon as it fairly be-
gins to bloom. It contains then, he says,
greater per centage Of starch, gum,
sugar, and fat, especially yellow fat af-
ter it has passed the bloom it has great
er per centage of fesh-forming material
along with woody fibre and mineral mat
ter" The former gives more Of fatness
the latter more muscle-hence later cut
clover is best for working horses. Ex-
pertinent proves the superior value of
early cut hay for laying on fat, or In
creasing the milk product of COWS or Of
ewes with lambs, and it has been found
that it is better TO begin haying even be-
fore the grass gets its full growth, than
to delay it long after blooming"

C.&M. RAIL RoAD-AKNUAL RE.
PORT.

The Annual Report of the President anc
Superintendent of the Cleveland and Ma
honing Railroad to the stock holders of the
Company. has been published. The busi
ness of the road for 1860, indicates 3
handsome per centage over that of the pre-
Vlous year: The following is the
PRESIDENTS REPORT.
To the Stockholders, In presenting
you statement of the condition of the af.
fairs of your Company, it may prove inter
esting to briefly review the history of our
enterprise.
The design of the Company was to con-
meet the railways west of Cleveland with
the Pennsylvania Road at Blairsville.
(ffty three miles east from Pittsburgh, J
by the construction of road of the same
guage; thereby enabling freight to be trans
ported from Philadelphia to the Missis-
sippi without transhipment; also by means
of a road from New Castle, Pa, to New
Brighton, Pa, to furnish the trade and CON-
merce of the district of country our road
traTersed, direct connection with Cleveland
and Pittsburgh.
1t was believed by the friends of the en-
teeprise that the local business of the coun-
try would alone justify the building Of the
road, and that when to this should be
added. the through business the line would
command, the road could not fail to prove
one of the best if not the very best in the
Union.
With the construction of the eastern por-
tion of the line. New Castle to Blairsville,)
this Company had no connection whatever;
separate Company 1.-THE NOrth-Western)
having organized for that purpose.
Surveys upon our line we're commenced
in 1852, and the work let and vigorously
commenced in 1853. The severe drouth
of 1854. and consequent high prices of pro-
visions and feed which followed, compelled
the contractors to abandon the work, and
subjected the Company to re-let the same.
This proved most serious loss The
partial work done had demonstrated that
much of the material was far more expen-
giVe to move than had been anticipated
This. together with the high prices for pro-
visions and labor, which continued to
rule through 1855 and 1856, swelled the
actual cost Of the work at least Go per oent
