fodder upon which it grew, will keep a
horse in good working order for a week
An acre planted with corn, aud yield
ing sixty bushels, will be ample to keep
good-szed horse in working order for
one month.
Let the farmer then consider whether
it is better to maintain horse on the
produce of half an acre of ruta baga OF
carrots, or upsn the produce of an acre
of corn; or on the other hand, upon the
hay and grain from six acres of land
for it will require six acres OF good land
to produce the necessary hay and grain
as above. The same reasoning might
he made use of in the feeding of cattle
and sheep.
These facts deserve the particular at
tention of farmers who are desirous OF
improving their pecuniary condition.
| am aware that labor of proper kind
is in many cases difficult to procure,
and with our habits is not very easily
managed. l know also that large
portion of our farmers, from the nature
of their habits and their style of living,
are so prosperous and independent that
they have no occasion to extend their
cultivation beyond what it now is, in
order to meet their wants; and to incur
the trouble, vexation and risk of en-
ploying more labor, expending more
capital, and increasing their cares.
But it is not fair to produce such in
stances as any examples of the profit or
upprofitableness of farming, when car
riedon as all other branches, to be sue
cessful must be carried on with skill, in
telligence, industry, enterprise and all
the capital and all the labor which can
be bestowed upon them with advan-
tage.
To carry on farming in the most sue
cessful manner, the farmer should have
the control of capital equal in amount
to one years crops and one years ma
rure, or he must work to greater or
less disadvantage in proportion as the
amount of his capital falls below this
mark. AN OLD CORRESPONDENT.

Comparative vaine OF Hny, Corn and
Boots.

| wish briefly to draw the attention
of our farmers to the value of hay when
compared with other crops which are or
may be raised by them.
An acre of ground retained expressly
for hay yields on an average not more
than one and one-half tons of vegetable
food: an equal space planted with car
rots or ruta bagas will yield from ten 10
twenty tons, say fifteen tons, which Is
by no means a high average, and has
often been attained without any extra
ordinary cultivation. 1t has been AS
certained by careful experiment, that
three working horses, fifteen and one
half hauos high, consume hay at the
rate of two hundred and twenty-four
pounds per week, or FIVE tons and one
thousand and, foyty-eight pounds per
annum, beside cue and .onehalf bushels
of oats per week, or seventy-elsht PEI
annum By repetition of the same
experiment it was found that an un-
worked horse consumed hay at the late
of four and oue-quarter tons per an-
mum.
The produce, therefore of nearly six
acres of land is necessary 10 support a
working horse for one year; but bali az
acre of carrots at six hundred bushels
per acre, with the addition of chopped
straw, while the season for feeding them
lasts, will do as well if not better.
These things do not admit Of doubt, fol
they have been the subject OF exact
trials, as some of Your agricultural
friends can testify.
1t has also been proved that the value
of one bushel of corn, together with the

Domestic Volcanoes.
From the New York Sun.

Two painful accidents from kerosene,
one of which has proved fatal, occurred
in Williamsburgh on Thursday last
These kerosene catastrophes are becom-
ing very frequent, and now constitute
one of the most alarming OF domestic
dangers. Almost every day We hear of
some new horror Of this kind, and the
public are naturally led TO inquire
whether some remedy cannot be provid-
ed. It is we'll established fact
that the best kerosene or petroleum
will not generate an explosive
GAS when used in the ordinary
lamps: while under the same circum-
stances an Indifferent oil becomes abso-
lutely dangerous to life and property,
no matter what precautions may be
taken in its consumption The safety
of Kerosene depends upon the tempera-
ture at which it evaporates- Not even
the worst oil is explosive IN itself, but
the heat of lamp is sufficient to con
vert 1t into an explosive gas. 1t fol
lows, therefore, that all Kerosene
should be properly tested before be-
ing sold for public use, and those
who sell che combustibfe should De
held strictly responsible for It's
quality, and for accidents that may re
suit from its proper use. Some regu'
lations of this kind would save hun
dreds OLIVES in the course of . year, by
preventing the sale Of vast amount OF
inferior oil. The danger from the
burning of kerosene or petroleum, when
carelessly handled, can be diminished by
care and vigilance, but it cannot be en-
t;rely got rid of while an article so In
fiammable is in constant use in almost
every family.

a lelecI lnror-

We have Just learned that WILLIAM
Z. JAMES, late mail agent on the Balti'
more and Ohio road, was in attendance
at the September term of the United
States Court at Charleston, as n juror
We believe il is neither usual nor par
ticnlarly proper to place upon the Fed
eral juries such persons as are already
before the COnrt in another capacity
As Mr.. JAS rs has for some time stood
indicted for felony in the Federal Court,
his employment rs juror looks like
giving Kim a monopoly Of the Courts
privileges and attentions. Without
presuming to decide upon the
Justice of the indictment which hangs
over this gentleman, we beg TO suggest
that it would look better to select jur'
rymen from among those who have not
already been Sd distinguished as this
party. Conviction after indictment Is
not altogether impossible, and it would
be quite an awk ward affair TO transfer
Ian from the jury box in which he
has Just tried the case of somebody else,
TO the prisoners box, toreccive sentence
IN his own. We presume that the Mar
shall has some explanation of this mat
ter TO offer, and if so it will afford Us
pleasure 10 lay it before the public.

force, overcame her desperate resist
anco, and regardless of her snpplca-
lions, was in the act Of ravishing her,
when the crack of passing teamsters
whip frightened the editors black pet.
and the poor child so nearly sacrificed
TO his brutal lust was Just able to drag
her bruised and wounded body into a
place of safety. 1t was Gods mercy
alone that saved this modest white girl
from fate worse than death. 1t is the
criminal justice of the State of
Delaware that plseedl the black
ravisher' at the ( whipping post
to be punished for the crime.
What father or brother would bid the
officer spare the lashf The white man
who hides his face is, according to his
own statement, the graduate of Mas
sackusetts college. He was in this
State but two hours, had $40 in his
pocket, and remarkably fine and fleX-
IDLE bride, capable of being put in his
breeches pocket. He stole a valuable
mare at the end of two hours, and was
caught on her back at Chester. He
was neither poor nor unedueated.
He had money, youth, and health; but
he robbed poor farmer of valuable
horse. He was fairly tried and
convicted, and, as horse thief ought
to be, was we'll thrashed, No doubt ,on
his return to Massachusetts,, he will
write editorials and read lectures At
lyceums on the illegal Barbarities in
Delaware" One thing, however, is GER
tain. Heis cured of horse-stcaling in
this State. The class well known in
other communities as ''eld offenders" do
not exist here. A second conviction, is
almost unknown in our courts.
1t is little singular that the "Bar-
barism" of West. Virginia has received
no notice ut the hands of Radical phi
lapthropy. In this State the whip
ping-post is an existing, and, we doubt
not, useful institution. But year
ortwo ago, an incOrrisible thief was fog
ged in Clarksburg for Butlerizing some
body's bacon, and he seems to have beed
as we'll cured as the hams he stole. Why
did nobody grieve over the barbarity
that was exempliied in that case :
Does our "loyalty" save the State from
Northern condemnation 1t would
almost seem that the sentiment in
question is so purifying in its influence
as to make an act which in Delaware
would be cruelty, perfect justice in
West Virginia.

a Sad Tale.

From the Cheyenne Argus, Dec. ~
A few days ago q negro brought to the
hospital in this city, young man in a
dying condition, whose name was Eu-
gene Sherwood. He was the son OF
George Sherwood, wealthy liquor
merchant of Buffalo, New York. The
boy had been placed by his parents at
a college in -, from which place
listening to the counsel of some com
panions-he was induced to make his
escape few months since, and go to
Julesburg, where he arrived in a
destitute condition. At that place
and under such circumstances, he
was glad TO accept situation as team
ster in one of Wells, Fargo * Co.'s
freight trains, bound for one Of the
Northern government posts. AT the
termination of this tip he found hiT:-
self in Cheyenne, and obtained a situa-
tion as bar-keeper in saloon in this
city. A few days ago he was seized
with dangerous and painful at
tack of pneumonia, which, in
spite of the best medical at
tendance, resulted in congestion of the
lungs. Doctors Graham and Irwin took
a lively interest in the boy, and de-
spairing of saving his life, despatched
q telegraphic message to his father, III
Buffalo, informing him of the condition
of his dying son, and expected in few
days to see the afflicted father in Chey-
enne Within twenty-four hours the
following reply was received: If he
dies bury him-will pay expenses"
Collect $3.50.
This kind, fatherly message from the
wealthy George Sherwood to his unfor-
tunute son, dying in n hospital, far from
friends and home, was sent, subject to
charges of $3.50, which was paid, and
when the poor yaunG gentleman died,
as he did two days afterwaru, hIs oya-
we're closed and the last sad Offices
which can be performed for departed
mortality were executed by men who
were strangers to the poor lad. but were
friends of humanity; and, fortunately
for the noble father of the forgotten
boy, no funeral expenses will be re-
quired of him.
