PEAS WITH PoTAToEs.-A corrospon-
dent of the Germantopn Telegraph says
When planting your potatoes, drop
from six to eight peas in each hill, or if in
row, every three or four inches single pea.
In this way crop may be raised at very
small expense. As the peas start early in
the season, they will be sufficiently ad-
vanced to be out of the way by the time
the potatoes are large enough to hoe
Peas raised in this way will generally be
less liable to suffer from the attacks of the
bug or fly; the crop will also be much
purer or free from extraneous matter,
which are an injury to the peas, whether
designed for market or for domestic use.
The large marrowfat pea is perhaps the
best variety that can be selected for this
mode of cultivation. 1t yields well, is
highly edible, and commands remmcr-
atiye price in the market. Where the
soil is rich, it exhibits an incorrigible
tendency to produce an exherbitant guam
tity Of haum; with few pods and few per-
tectly developed peas: Planted with po-
tatoes, these habits are reversed.

How TO TREAT THE WHooPING-CoUe

How TO TREAT THE WHooPING-CoUGH
-Upon.the first imitation of the cough
commencing. take equal parts of good old
spirits, (rum, brandy or rye whis key )apd
sweet oil; at bedtime, place the child
with the back to the fire, and rub the
spine with this mixture from the neck
down. Let the rubbing be done thor
oughly every night and neither themoth-
er nor child will suffer any inconvenience
from this often distressing complaint
The disease will run its course, but it will
be in so mild form that the most delicate
child will pass through it in safety.
My experience. is that it is important
to commence the treatment at the first APP
pearance of the cough.

SPRING PLOWING.-Ihe labors of seed
time alway so crowd the farmers, that the
earlier the plow begins its work, the bet
ter. On soils of sandy and porous
character plowing may best be done as
soon as the frost is out of the ground.
Where clay preponderates, or in soils rich
in humus. the action of the sun is needed
for several days. 1t is very bad to plow
clay ground too wet, and all that surface
and uuder-drains can accomplish will not
do away with the necessity of the drying
northwest winds and clear weather looked
for about these days" Thorough drain
ing often makes difference of weeks and
even months in the time the land is fit for
the plow. In plowing sward for spring
grain, turn it fiat and deep, so that the
harrow or seed drill will not disturb it.
If manure is to be plowed under on old
ground, bury it with shallow furrow,
just deep enough to keep the strawy por-
tious out cf the way Very strawy ma
nure on land to be sowed with wheat,
oats OF barley. may well be spread in the
furrows behind the plow, where very nice
work is to be done. When land needs
liming-and before crop of wheat, a
dressing of lime is often of great service;
sow the lime before blowing, rather than
to be subsequently narrowed in. Though
on ground rather cold and full of yegeta-
Bile mold it is well to plow under say l5
to 20 bushels of lime to the acre, and top
dress with or 10 bushels afterwards.
Back-furrowing is practised by many
good farmers, to prevent the accumula-
tion Of mass of rich soil against the
fences. This is done by marking out the
lands, Of course as large as possible, and
throwing couple of burrows together
through the centre and then plowing
right about, around them If the first
turned furrows do not 90 to the end of
the field, at the proper time the plow-
man may begin to plow across the end of
the land also When the right calcula-
tions are made, the field may be left with
out dead burrows, except where it may be
necessary to have two or more lands in
the same field. This, where the land
admits fiat culture, requires no dead fur
rows or ridges.

Another way of maintaining the
fertility of grass is, by barn-yard ma
nure and homemade compost. This
is the most economical, and in fact
the true way, for farmers in general
to keep their meadows and pastures
in a good state of productiveness.
By saving with care all the manure
that can be made from the animals,
while they are consuming a ton of
hay, by mingling little muck with
the manure, and by feeding grain and

diciously, the quantity of grass per

GEN. GRANT DISCOVERED AS A
WOOD SELLER!

After Mr.. Lincoln received the nomination
in 1850, from the Chicago Convention, his
former occupation Of rail splitting was
brought prominently before the public, and
many handsome things were said Of the de-
mocracy Of our institutions and the fine OPP
portunity all young men had here of rising
to distinction through their own innate abili-
ty and determination all of which is quite
true. But few weeks before the promotion
Of Grant to be Lieutenant General Of the
United States Army, appointed within the
last few days an ambitious newspaper writer
has discovered the fact that Grant not only
cut, but actually did sell wood from a small
farm belonging to him, not far from St. Louis.
How beautifully in accordance with the SIM
plicity of our republican form of govern
ment, intimates this writer-that Of the two
greatest men in it, one is at the head Of the
Executive and the other Of the Military or
ganization of the Government. This all
sounds very well and quite pretty to the ear ;
but that Grant was ever engaged as wood
cutter and wood seller, We very much doubt.
What Newspaper writer's can't do, to make
use Of a common expression, amt worth

Rebel Prisoners in Boston.

Robert Toombs threatened to call the roll
of his slaves on Bunker Hill. From some
strange hitch in affairs this prediction has
failed of fulfllment instead Of it we hear of
rebel prisoners, taken in arms against the
Government, visiting that " sacred hill, !" and
actually enjoying the sensation. We find
the following in the Boston Journal Of Feb
ruary ID:
The detachment of rebel prisoners, nearly three
hundred in number who arrived from the West
last evening, in charge of the Chicago Zouaves,
are now on board the L. ). receiving ship Ohio,
undergoing the preliminary preparations for SER
vice in the navy Of the United States. The men
generally are well pleased with their new quar-
tiers, and manifest much delight at the prospect
of warm clothing and an abundance of rations
They were Invested of their butternut uniforms
this morning, which were cast recklessly into the
stream, and after having been treated to gener-
GUS bath they were supplied with the bright blue
uniform of the Union navy. Many of the men
were very scantily clad and they were also re-
markably filthy. Nearly one.third of the whole
number are foreigners, the Irish and Germans
matchmaking, and they are chiefly from Tennes'
see, Virginia, Georgia and Alabama :,
They are evidently unused TO the northern eli.
mate from the shuddering expressions at the
ing and an abundance of rations, which have
been 80 rare during their service in the Confeder'
ate armies, they will have little disposition to
complain. The magnificent proportions Of Bun

DURABILITY OF OUR MINES.

Our Territory has been but few years in
developing enormous wealth, and yet she has
opened only few of her many silver and
gold mines. When we consider our future
prospects as a community, we entertain no
fear of decrease Of mineral production, for
all over the country mines are found which
will some time be of value, but now left un-
touched for something better. But when
shareholders contemplate their individual in
terests in particular mine, they sometimes
feel little nervous lest the ledge may
"pinch out" The most plausible theory and
the one most generally adopted by biologists
of the origin of veins of ore containing sui
phurets Of silver or other metals, is that it
had its origin from below, being forced up
ward through the crust of the earth BY the
pressure Of internal heat. The veins of ore
in this country are all sulphurets and pyri-
teous, showing them to be Of the same orr
gin. The sulphurets formerly existed in a
gaseous state and cooled when they came to
the cooler portions of the earth, forming sui
phurets as we see them in the ore. We may
place the utmost reliance on the durability Of
mines of this character. The richness of
these veins comes from below; consequently,
as the mine is worked lower down, it comes
so much nearer the source of the mineral,
and as a natural result, the richness increases
with the depth. Sometimes the outside rock
or earth has pressed in upon the vein and
wholly or partially crowded out the ore.
These Irregularities are called faults" or
in the mining dialect Of this Territory,
punching out" This should not diseour-
age the miner. BY going down lower the
vein is sure to be found, The distance may
be great, or it may be but few feet. These
faults in veins are Of very common occur
renee in the mines. So far the mines of Ne
vada have been worked only comparatively
near the surfaee-four hundred and fifty feet
being the greatest depth yet obtained. But
the mines Of Mexico are situated on the
same mineral range and have been worked
from the time of Montezuma, and to the
depth of 1850 feet, without signs of failure,
and our mines are Of the same durable char
acter.
