LEAVING HoME.-There Is hardly time In
the life Of youth which seems to gather togeth-
or 80 many tokens, OF mothers affection and
care, as when he Is leaving the roof that has
sheltered him from infancy, and going forth to
prepare for, or to enter upon, the duties and
scenes Of life. That trunk, which no one but Q
mother can arrange and pack, Is filed with the
work Of her own hands; work which sho has
done while he was. perhaps, asleep, or at play; I;
on which her tears have fallen rs sse anticipated
the moment Of desperation; by which her pray
ers have often been silently offered for blessings
on her child. Piece after piece Is carefully put
away, while the children look on and talk cheer
fully of the morrow, and know not the anxiety
and care that IL passing In the mothers heart.
All Is at length arranged, and on the last layer
is placed Bible. on the hy-leaf Of which Is
written the mothers earnest wish, that her
child may take that blessed volume as his guide
through life. And when ho Is far away, mid
scenes that are strange and new. II there is ono
motive next to the desire to obey God, that
should, above all others, induce him to abstain
from evil, and to act wisely and virtuously, It
should be the wish to please his mother, and to
repay her kindness and care. Nothing will 50

BE TRUE, AND FAITHFUL, AND VALIANT FOR
BlIDDEFoRD, Me-, FRIDAY MORNING,

~ The following mode Of preserving pota-
toes in good condition has been described by
DR., j. NJ. Wilson as practiced in Scotland. The
experiment is SO cheap and easy, that We pre-
sumo many persons will test 1t this spring. It
is rs follows:
"Dilutcd ammonical water in the proportion
of an ounce of the liquor Of ammonia of the
druggists to pint of rain or river water, has
of late years been successfully employed for
checking the vegctatiye power of potatoes, and
prolonging their suitableness for food. Pota-
toes immersed four or five days in this liquid,
retain all their edible properties unimpaired for
twelvemonth, improved in flavor and meali-
ness. The effect Of the liquor is to consolidate
their substance and extract their moisture. AZ
ter immersion, the potatoes should DO spread
so as to dry, and will then keep good for ten
months; contributing in this way not only to
the comfort Of families. hut also to the health
Of mariners exposed to long voyages at sea-"

jon ISrERPRErED.-The Kinderhook Rough
Notes gets of the following joke about Job
"It Is supposed by many unthinking persons
who read the Scriptures In the same careless
manner they run through newspaper-taking
every thing they read In literal sense-that
old Job was actually afflicted with boils or erup-
tive sores. Now, to the casual reader. this de-
duction Is plain enough; but when his occupa-
ton Is taken into consideration. q very different
conclusion will be arrived at. Job, II will be
recollected, was o printer-or, what Is about
the same thing, he wished his words were
printed In book;' and those boils were moth
ing more than his non-paying subscribers. the
thought OF whose delinquencies were really o
plague to him whenever bill for paper, or
other materials, came In, as these subscriptions
were depended upon to realize the amount due.
Yet they merely proved the evidence Of things
hoped for, but the substance Of things not
seen. Then, these 'comforters' that surrounded
him-they were creditors, whose continual cav
ing for pay was enough to make man. even
with his reputed patience, to feel sore oil over,
as well as mean enough to creep into nm ash
heap, and scratch himself oil over with pot
hook or clam. shell, by way Of working of the
extra 'bile.' That's what the matter was with
Job. We can sympathizc with him, for We arc
often placed in the same 6x, and have even got
such spell on now. Nothing but few

Sowing Corn for Fodder.


Your correspondent we'll remarks in late
number that "thc only wonder is that no moro
Of this kind of fodder is raised, especially by
our eastern farmers, where hay is worth from
Sl2 to $40 per ton." have yearly cultivated
this crop for twenty years, and am well salts
fed of its value and Importance. II may be
sown during the vacant days Immediately after
corn planting, and harvested between wheat
cutting and seeding. When sown thick enough
II does not bear grain nor exhaust the soil, but
rather enriches 1t by the roots it leaves behind
according to the experiments have made in
raising for successive years in the same land,
without manuring.. It should never be broad
cast, producing weeds; but always in burrows,
at the rate Of forty grains to foot, or three
bushels to an acre, allowing the cultivator to
pass twice afterwards, requiring no hoeing,
sinothering the weeds. and leaving the ground
as clean as floor. II is usually sown too thin,
grows too tall and coarse, and cattle will not
eat all the stalks. II sown thick enough, the
growth viii be lower or shorter, but II will
yield much moro per acre, and the stalks will
all be eaten clean. For this reason question
the propriety of sowing the large or Dent corn.
On land that will yield thirty bushels Of corn
per acre got four tons per acre of dried stalks.
and such as will yield forty or fifty bushels;
yields about six tons. Any soil will raise it.,
and have found il one Of the best crops to put
grassy or rough lands into order. as the sum-
mey cultivation between the rows, and the dense
smothering influence of the crop itself, togeth-
er with the mass of small fbrcs It leaves in the
soil, makes the ground clean ard mellow

ToDAcco CuLruRA-we do not recommend
the raising or using Of tobacco /; but as there
are large class who habitually use il and think
they cannot do without it. and rs the enormous
price at the present time imposes heavy tax
which every farmer may save, We give the fol-
lowing directions for its cultiyationand cure:
Secure the earliest variety Of seed. Sow in
boxes about the Goth Of April, and transplant
about the middle of June. Land that will grow
good Indian corn, is suitable for q crop Of to-
bacco. One good healthy plant in hill is suf-
fcieut. The hills should be two and half feet
apart. and in each hill drop n small shovelfull
Of hog or rotten sheep manure. II should be
hoed often. AS soon as the plants begin to
blossom, cut off the top down to q good leaf
After two weeks, cut up your tobacco, tic 1t up
and hang it across a pole in the barn to dry.
When dried, strip of the leaves for this choose

dozen each. and press between two wide plank.
Then pack close in box with cover that will

wILrED POTATOES roR PLANrISG.-Somc wri-
tcrs have recommended the planting of dried
potatoes as preventive of the rot. A Pennsyl.
vania correspondent Of the Rural Now Yorker
says:
"I once overlookeda few rows dropped (which
remained unnoticed and consequently uncoy-
cred during several days, and not only wiltcd
but consid, rably dried. These had the advan-
tagc in the strong and healthy appearance Of
the tops throughout the season, and in the tu-
bers at digging, over those covered fresh from
the pit. Cutthe potatoes and scatter on lit
tie plaster to prevent bleeding. and allow to

CULTURE OF OSIoSs-A HINT To FARMERS
The extraordinary rise in tho price OF onions
caused by the great demand in our camps and
army hospitals for this most valuable OF oil
common vegetable anti scorbutics, has doubt
less sufficiently indicated to intelligent farmers
that the onion-crop will be one OF the most
profitable which they can cultivate this season.
In oricr to assist them in this most promising
work. VIC copy the following hint from the COM
munication Of farmer to western paper
'Thc prevailing opinion is, that to grow good
onions. the sets grown the previous year should
be planted. This is an error. Better onions
and larger crops can be grown from seed than
from sets. The seed should be first sown in a
hot-bed as thick as they can stand. As soon rs
the seed is up. open the beds to the air, aud
water freely. In April prepare your ground,
and plant the sets from the hot-bed. singly. one
by one, three inches, asunder, in rows ten inches
apart II the ground Is very good. and they
arc well cultivated, you may have eight hun
dred bushels from an acre."

A UsEruL lIISr To HoRsE KEErxRs.-A gen.
tleman who has tried the plan successfully for
Ave years, communicates the annexed method
Of preventing horses from chatting under the
collar. lie says he gets piece Of leather and
has what he terms false collar made. which is
simply piece OF leather cut in such shape rs
to lie snugly between the shoulders Of the horse
and the collar. This fends of oil the friction.
as the collar slips and moves on the leather and
not on the shoulders Of the horse. Glazing is
caused by the friction, hence you sec the thing
Is entirely plausible. Some put pads or Sheep
skins under the collar. but these do as much
hurt rs good, for they augment the heat. A
single piece ofleather. like that composing the
outside Of collar, is sufficient.

PLANTING Peas DEEr.-The theory recently
advocated Of planting peas very deeply in the
earth, in order to prolong the bearing capacity
Of the vines, has also been we'll tested and found
to. be correct. A farmer told me that he plough
ed furrow beam deep then scattered the
seed peas at the bottom, after which he turned
q deep furrow upon them with his plough, COW
ering them, if possible, to the depth Of twelve
or fourteen inches. They pushed their way up
through the thick mass Of earth very soon, and
instead ofturning yellow at the bottom and dy-
ing after the first gathering, they blossomed
and bore until he was tired OF picking the pods.

the plan, pea culture may be more profitable
than hitherto. r-.. 500
