Sonamo cuLTuRE.-Thc best soil for

SoRaIo cULTURE.-The best soil for the sorghum is lightish sandy or gravelly upland. The heavy, black aluvial soils which border rivers and streams are quite unsuitable The growth of cane may be good but the syrup is of dark color, and ofinferior quality. Any good corn land is good for sorghum, provided it is also good for wheat. Bottom land, though it may be good for corn as already stated, is not good for this crop. No strong, rank inanures of any kind should be used. Pig manure has been known to impart such flavor to the syrup as to render it unfit for use. If the soil is reasonably rich no ma nurc is necessary; where manure is need- cd, only that which is old and well rotted should be used X liberal application of lime, plaster and ashes, unless these ele- mcnts largely exist in the soil, will be- found highly advantageous. Under-drain- ing and sub-soiling will be quite as bencf- cial to this as to any crop, though it is not more necessary than for corn. Flowing and dragging should be carefully done, and the soil thoroughly pulverizcd, as there is no plant more feeble or sensitive in its 1 early culture than this. Planting should be done as soon as the soil has become thoroughly warm and dry. It is not ad- visable to soak the seed. If the soil is dry when the soaked and partially gcrminatcd seed is put in, the dry soil absorbs the moisture of the seed and destroys its lifeI A half inch of light, fine soil, is abundant covering for the seed. Many plant in drills and cultivate one way others in. hills and cultivate both ways. The drills should be about four feet apart and the plants six inches apart ill the drills Hills may be three and q half by four feet, with six to eight in the hill. There isa iucs- ton as which way is best for drills to run, but on account of the prevailing westerly winds, the plants in drills running east and west are less liable to prostration. The young plants when first up are grass
 like in appearance. They arc very feeble, and it is absolutely necessary that all weeds should be kept down. so as to give them q good start from the first. When the plants arc we'll established and have reached n night of ten or twelve inches, they grow with great vigor and rapidity, and all subsequent cultivation can be done with a horse cultivator.

GREEN CRops.-Itis is ofvcry great inn portance in the improvement of land, to blow in green crops of some kind. My experience is, that a clover sod, together with all the grass and weeds that will grow on it. from the first of July to the twen- tieth of August, carefully turned under, is the best green dressing for a crop of wheat. Other kinds, as orchard, timothy, herdgrass, blue and green grasses, make n valuable sod in-the improvement of land, which, when plowcd under, is equal to a moderate coat of manure. When the land is sown broadcast with any kind of grain, 1t should at the same time be sowed with grass seed, in order to produce sod as of- ten as possible, to plpw in; as without a liberal use of grass seed the progress oi improvement will not be near as rapid Practical Farmer in Germantown Tel

Letter from the Secretary of the Trcasury--National Banking Appor- finumnaf

Trcasury--N National Banking Appor- tiOnmcnt.
 The Secretary of the Treasury has written letter to the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, on the appor- tionmcnt of national currency.
 He says the Senate bill 256 is seeming l ly general in its provisions, but ill effect it singles out Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, and reduces their circula- tion to q certain arbitrary standard. It practically asserts the circulation of 1 National Banks in Massachusetts shall be diminished sixty per cent; the circula- ton of National Banks in Connecticut shall be diminished fifty-two per cent, and l the circulation of National Banks in Rhode Island shall be diminished seventy four, per cent fs
 This principle on which the reduction is based is not correct one. l75,000 of the rural population of Ohio or Illinois do not need a tenth part required by the man. ufacturing and commercial communities of Rhode Island.
 This bill is an amendment to section twenty-one of the present national currency act, and proposes to withdraw the circula- tion from banks by reducing the rates which it shall bear to capital.
 It will affect the banks in all the States more or less by a certain fixed rate. The reduction is to be effected gradually, as the circulation becomes worn and mutilated Sand is returned for redemption.
 The amount by which the circulation to be thus diminished approximates twenty five millions of dollars, and it is proposed in anticipation ofsthis reduction to author ize the issue of circulation to banks ill States that have secured the least propor- tionatc amount of circulation as it may be needed
 The Secretary thinks it is important that Southern State Banks should have an op- portunity to become National Banks, other wise, by the operation of a law in the Uni ted States, they will be compelled to wind up after the first of next July, and that it is matter of great importance that pro. visions should be made to meet the wants of those States which have been in rebel lion.
 Banking facilities are necessary to de- velop the industrial interest of the South, and to stimulate the production of those staples which enter so largely into the f- nancial interests of the country.

WoRps IN UsE.-The number of words that were contained in Dr. Websters first diction- aiy of the English language was from 70, 900 to S0,000. After several revisions of the edition of Wcbsters Dictionary published in 1859 contained 09,S9S words Professor Worcestar's Dictionary contains about l04, GOO, and the latest edition of Webster more than IA, 900 words. Yet, in languages con taining such copions supply of words very few are used. The peasant in many parts of England do not make use of more than 800 words out of the 1l4, ,000 int he dictionaries well educated person, either American or English seldom use more than about 5000 words for ordinary conversation. Accurate thinkers and close reasoners, who avoid vague expressions. employ q large stock and eloquent speakers, who enjoy a large command of language, may sometimes rise to the em- ployment of 10000 words. Shakespeare whose variety of expression is remarkable. wrote all his plays with about 10000 different words Milton used but 5000; and in the Old Testament there are but ,, Gi2 different words.

 FEEDING BOXES vs. RAcKs.--The New Brunswick Farmer gives the follow ing sensible advice: f
 sITorses do not naturally gather food from trees; why, then should they be compelled in winter to take it. from rack over hcady Every mouthful requires the animal to assume an unnatural position, which, with young horses particularly, must interfere with the proper develop nent of the muscles of the neck, and with the graceful carriage of the head May not the awkward manner in which many horses thrust their heads forward and up- ward, be attributed to the force of habit acquired in feeding from rack ? Anoth- CT serious objection to the rack is the dan ger from the seed, dust, etc, falling into the eyes of the animal; further, all the effluvia of the stable, the vapors from the skin and lungs pass upward, and are to some extent absorbed by the -hay--an ad- dition neither savory nor hcalthful. The feed-box may be made equally convenient with the rack, and is open to none of the above objections. It need not be large, and if the bottom be made of slats all re- jccted fodder can be easily removed.

How TO DO UP SHIRT BosoMs.-We have often heard ladies express desire, says an exchange, to know by what process the fine gloss observable on new linen, shirt bosoms, etc, is produced, and in or der to gratify them, We esubmit the follow ing receipt for making gum arabic starch : Take two ounces fine white gum arabic powder, put it into pitcher and pour on it n pint or more of boiling water--accord- ing to the degree of strength you desire and then having covered it let it'eset all night. In the morning pour careful from the dregs, into clean bottle, cork it and keep for use. A tablespoonful of gum Wa ter stirredintoa pint of starch made in the usual manner, will give to either white or printed lawns look of newness. Much diluted, it is also good for thin muslin and bobinet.

WoMAN's LOVE OF APPROPRIATION


 WoMAN's LOVE OF ApPRoBATIoN.- more than man, and the absence of the natural assistant of the gentle sex was felt ill ways separate from protection and sup port. All the actions of a woman, whetn- CT of useful industry or of ornament, are subject to the approval and pleasure of the other sex, to which their own are subordi- nate, aud on which they are founded. To descend to the humblcst form of this feel ing, every one knows that when fair lass has arrayed herself ill her new gown or ribbons, or any finery put on for the first time, although the admiration of her fe- male acquaintance may give degree of pleasure, the applause or compliment of one man is more valued than that of a thousand women; and this feeling, modi- fled by the circumstances of individuals, runs through the whole sex and is part of the nature of the human being, implanted in the heart by the divine artiicer to pro- duce the most delicious fruit that grows ill the garden of human life. Women, by themselves, require little to be comfortable; they can live without hustle and without form; neither in beauty of laiment nor in delicacy of food can they find happiness, so as they have it to themselves alone. They require to please the other sex before they can please themselves. A knot of old maids may to be sure, be bitterly mer- ry oyer their tea and scandal, and despite the other sex with profound disdain; but there is something unnatural in that enjoy ment; nor does anybody suppose that the respectable spinsters heart bounds with such sweet human delight at the compli- ments of her female friends, on her neat room, darling spaniel and strong tea, as the heart of the cottagers wife, when hel tired husband tells her how nicely she has cooked his bit of supper, and how pretty she looks in her clean cap Itmatters no, whether the husband be the master of q palace or the occupier of a hovel-whethel his day be spent in the sports of the field the drudgery of'a profession, or the labor of farm; the pleasure of the wife, and the object of her labor, is. to hayea table comfortably spread at his return, and tt see that he enjoys the delicacies which she has provided for him; whether tho pro vision be merely piece of bread ant cheese and snow white table, or the ricl soup, the superb joint, and the bottle O I exquisite wine laid out in the magnificent q dining room, the feelings of a woman rela tiyc to man are the same.

FowLs EATING THEIR FEATHERS This is one of the most annoying habits to which domestic fowls are addicted. It is q morbid appetite, apparently induced by the impatience of the fowl under confne- ment. The best prcventives are animal food, raw bones, oyster shells and charcoal, broken fine, and q variety of grains, with clean water and clean apartments. Some times particular fowl shows more inyet- crate disposition to eat feathers than the rest of the flock it is best in such cases to remove or kill such fowls. It is supposed that this habit is first induced while the fowls are moulting and their pin feathers are filled with blood, of which they are very fond.

 SorND ADVICE TO PARENTS Philadel- phia Ledyer, under the head of Early lndul- gence of Appetites.'' gives this sonnd advice.
 Parents should ponder well on the danger of all early and capricious indulgence of the appetites and imaginary wants of their child ren. Repetition soon becomes habit, and once formed, even in childhood, will often remain during the whole ofaftcr life, acquiring streng Il every year, nntili at last it sets all, human and divine, at defiance Let parents who yield to the cries of their children for dainty and promscuous food, or who allows them to torment domestic animals or to strike their nurses, or to raise the hand against any person. consider well on the consequences. Is the mother afraid ofan expression ofpassion, bribc is too often promised in the shape of a cake or tart, as pAce offering. Does 1t annoy a whole company by its boisterous or ill timed pranks it is persuaded to bequict by the promise of some sweeimeats. If it has been good, as the phrase is, and learned it's letters, the reward is still too frequently something for the stomach. Ea,ing is regarded the chief end and ob ject of life by a child, who sees in it the chief incentive to good behavior. A premium would truely seem to be given for gluttony. The use of the nobler senses, and of the faculties 1.-the mind, the early cultiva- ton of he kindlier and better feeling of our nature--generosity disfntcrestedness, pity, filial love-all arc overcome or postponed in favor the one sensual, selfish and absorbing act of gormandizng.
