feels that by the laws VI the land In
which he liveS-by the laws of civil
lied nations-he is the rightful and
the exclusive owner of the land which
he tiIls, is 10y the constitution of our
nature under q wholesome influence,
not easily imbibed by any other source.
He feels, other things being equal,
more strongly than another, the char
acter of a man who is the lord of ali
inanimatc world. OF this great and
wonderful sphere, which, fashioned by
the hand OF God, and upheld by his
power, is rolling through the heavens,
u part of hiS-hiS from the centre of
the sky. 1t is the space on which the
generation before him moved in its
round of duties, and he feels himself
connected by q visible link with those
who follow him, and to whom he is to
transmit home. Perhaps his farm
has como down to him from his fathers.
They have gone to their last home !;
but he can trace their last footsteps
over the scenes Of his daily labors.-
The roof which shelters him was rear
cd by those to whom he owes his be-
ing. Some interesting domestic tradi-
ton is connected with every inclosure.
The iavoritc fruit tree was planted by
his fathers hand. lie sported in boy
hood beside the brook which still
winds through the meadows. Thro'
the fields lies the path to the village
school of earlier days. He still hears
from his window the voice of the Sab
bath bell which called his fathers to
the house of God; near at hand is the
spot where his parents laid down to
rest, and where. when bis time has
come, he shall be laid by his children.
These are the feelings of the owners
oftho soil. Words cannot paint them
gold cannot buy them; they flow out
Of the deepest fountains Of the heart
they are the life-springS of a fresh
healthy, and generous national char
actcr.-Edlcard Ererett
CARRoTs.-Carrots require a deer
loamy soil, in which sand rather than
clay should prcdominate. The sub
soil or trench pillow SHOULD be used for
all taprooted vegetables, and the roots
will be smoother and better shaped il
the manure is applied to the previous
crop. II the land is not in good heart
from previous cult 5ation, the manure
should he well rotted and thoroughly
incorporated with the soil, so that root
lets may not branch off from the main
stem in search of food. The long or
angc is the kind to be cultivated ar
long drills foot apart, the po- ct.
The long orange Is the p ae mode

out so as to stand three or four incht

crs, often yielding six to eight hundrt
bushels per acre. What are not nee

pccially good for horses.
CELLARS PoIsONoUs.-At this sc
son of the year, it should be special
remembered that the cellar of DIV
ling house is very likely to be sour
of disease to a whole family. T
remnants of vegetables stored duri
the winter begin to decay on the {
proach of warm weather, and the {
halations from these, with the chi
dampness, arc liable to produce si'
ness. Many family has attribut
to providence" the disease caused
the poisonous miasma arising from
neglected cellar. Every cellar shot
at all times be kept clean by the
moval of all vestiges of decaying "
ctablcs, fruit, and food. A coat
strong lime whitewash upon the wa
aud ceiling, at least once q year,
better twice a year, will add grea
not only to the healthfulness of
cellar, but will also m a ke it IN,
lighter and more cheerful.-Amefi1

REMEDY FOR CRACKED HooFs
Take q piece of copper four inc
long and two inches wide, and d
eight holes, four in each eud, so as
to interfere with the crack, and SCI
it fast to the hoof, crossways of
crack; thea take hot iron wit
sharp edge and burn the crack at
edge of the hair, till it goes thro
10 the quick. After this, let the he
run on pasture, and it will begir
head up in few weeks. This re
DIV have tried, and it did the W
complete, and worked the horse
the time. Care should be takel
close the crack tight before the p
is fastened on. So says pract
farmer.
