WEDNESDAY MORNING,
stantou,s --latest.

One of the mean things which Secre-
tary STANTON knows so well how to no.
is his changing the name of Fort Rnnyon'
one Of the permanent defences OF WASH
ingtou, and lcalling it Fort Fitzpatrick
General RuNYoN, in whose honor the
fort was originally named, was the Dem
ocrat;c candidate for Governor OF New
.Jersey in the recent campaign, and Gen.
sral FITZPATRICK plumes himself upon
having secured RuNYoN's defeat. 1t is
very questionable whether FITZPATRICK
incorporate and abusive harangues did
much harm to the Democratic cause
notwithstanding he has since been re-
varded with six months leave of alb
sence and an appointment as Minister 70
Chilli, but the change in the name OF the
ort illustrates STANTON littleness COM
pletely. During all the war; the 1ortin-
cation bore the name of RUNYoN and
aided in keeping back those who would
have DESTROYED the city and sent STAN
TON trembling and livid with fear, to
seek hiding place ont of the range OF
hostile bnllets; but now that the war is
over and the redoubtable Secretary Is
safe. his serene Highness changes the
honorable name of the fort in order TO
bestow compliment upon braggart
and blasterer on the political stump.

The Buffalo Courier of last Friday pub
fishes an extract from i private letter
written to d gentleman in that city by
Hon. A. II. II. STUART, Congressman elect
from Virginia and well known to many
of our readers. Mr. STUART opposed the
passage of the ordinance of secession and
took no part i'll the war, but he will re-
fuse to take the Congressional test oath
because he is convinced of its unconsti-
tutiopality. He was member of Presi-
dent FILMoRE's cabinet and has long
been regarded as one of the ablest and
best of the Virginia statesmen. He
writes as follows:
I can hardly think the Republicans
will adhere to the test oath, in the face
of its fragrant unconstitutionality. II
they do, they will place weapon IN Inc
hands of their adversaries which can be
used greatly to their disadvantage.

SUMMER FALLOWING.

would like to inquire why it is that this
ancient practice of raising winter grain has
recently so fallen into disuse, and if it is
not still correct that it is one of the speed
lest and most economical means Of improv-
ing worn out-soils.
Take for instance field of grass, either
pasture or moving, which for series Of
years has been farmed under the rule of tax
ing everything off and putting nothing on
in return. 1t may give, perchance, an anu
al crop of half ton per acre Of very poor
quantity of hay, composed in part perhaps
of thistles, daisies, &c, the soil naturally
feasible and with good fair sward, but
hide-bound and full of foul vegetation and
not yielding by any means what it ought to
Now take this field and plow ithOrOugh-
IL in the month Of June, from six to eight
inches deep, according to the character of
the soil; allow it to remain through the
warm season some six or eight weeks, and
then have it we'll cross-ploud By the way,
it should in both instances, if practicable,
be plowed in narr Nv" lands" so that the
crossing may be as nearly as possible at
right angles At the period of sowing in
September, it should be thoroughly and re-
. ptdleulN HdIIoNcu Will d '0ildlto udlIb",
which, by the way acts very nearly the
same as light gang plow; or if at this
time the sward be not well decomposed, an
other plowing must be had.
One thing, however, must be borne in
mind, that the grain must not be put in un-
/ til the sward has almost entirely disap-
peared and most effectually intermixed with
the soil At the sowing Of the grain the
field should be seeded again with clover
and timothy, as desired.
Now then it is plain that one need not
commence this system until he makes up
his mind fully to two things; first, that it
VIII cause him to lose the use of his field
mainly for one entire season; and secondly,
that it will prove a course causing quite an
outlay of labor, which is surely to be taken
into account during the present war times.
But we very much question whether there
is any course or system by which a field
in the low state supposed, can be more
cheaply or sooner improved. And that it
is improved no one will attempt to disprove
The entire vegetable matter in the field is
thus quickly brought into a decomposed
state, or manure, and made into good plant
food. The difference between this and the
more usual rotation Of corn, oats or barley,
and seeding, or the three-fold system of
corn, spring grain, and then winter grain
and seeding, being that in the case of fol
lowing, the soil is seeding down before the
strength Of of the sward has been exhaus-
ted by successive groupings.

clean quarters, cooked grain and potatoes
scraps of meat, powdered bones, or lime
gravel, ashes and warm water, are the con
vincing arguments.
Roots--Sort over, remove decayed ones
to be cooked and fed Immediately, and keep
a supply of the soundest for breeding ami
mails, or those failing in appetite, as spring
approaches. No decayed turnips, rutaba
gas, or cabbage should be fed to milch
cows, or bad flavor will be impaired to the
milk
Sheep.-Exercise and fresh air are essen
tial to their health. Shelters must be well
ventilated, not crowded, and the sheep
turned out daily, except i'll storms. Roots,
fed with grain. will be returned in wool and
mutton. Pregnant ewes should have little
if any grain, but roots with hay Those
yeaning early will need separate, clean, not
over-littered apartments, and careful at
tention, that the lambs be not chilled.
lS,cine-Keep them at work among the
muck and manure Allow breeding sows,
near farrowing potatoes or other succnlent
food, with bran or linseed meal Give them
clean, we'll Uttered sites, but not straw
enough to endanger the young by over
laying of the mother. A projecting shelf,
eight inches high. on the sides Of the pen,
will allow the pigs to escape much danger
from this source.
Tools and Implements.--Have all in repair
and readiness for spring work. In the end,
buying is cheaper than borrowing. Con-
suit advertisements, send for catalogues
and circulars for information about new i'm
plements, and always get the best
Wo0d-Save many late dinners, and
much needless scolding, and annoyance in
the household, by having years stock cut
and stored under cover.
