intelligenl5; a1eF ID .5is
~ am addressing myself now to each
one of my readers who knows anything
that is valuable in connection with
farming which everybody else does not
know. II is your duty to give your
brother farmers the advantage of your
own experience, You need not write
long garticles-indeede exhaustive essays
are asa general rule, out of place N a
paper such as this. But state facts that
come under your observation-give
your experience and your reasons for
the faith that is in you, or any particu-
lar question of Interest that may arise,
or your objection to it, based upon
practiced observation. d eal i7t
"a few suggestions will perhaps aid
you in selecting themes to write about:
Have you tried the new varieties of
potatoes? If so, which do you peter,
and why? What kind Of soils have You,
and what treatment did you give them?
What preparation did you give
your corn ground? When do you plaut4
What variety2 How do you cultivate3
What Is your system OF rotation of
cropsH Doyou top-dress your meadows?
What crops pay the best for the capi-
tel and labor invested in your viCinityP
What is the average yield of corn per
acre? or wheat, OF potatoes, OF rye ?
What sheep are most profitable with
you, both for mutton and wool? What
breed of cattle make the best mixers,
the finest beef, or the most proIific2
What do you feed your horsesS Have
you tried a mixed diet OF potatoes. ETC.,
for them, and how does II affect them?
Are You undertaking, and II SO, does
1t payI What are you doing in fruit
culture2 How about the new varieties
of truits+which' do y6 find best in your
locality, and what treatment do you
give your orchard? Your Strawberries?
The above list comprises butt a few of
the esubjects which must ever prove i'm
teresting to farmers. Still, have laid
out work for you at once, enough to
keep you quite a while, unless you do
better than you have been doing"

TnL-TAPPERs ARREsTED.-About two weeks
since, it is alleged, two boys. named respec-
lively Barnard MCGEE and Thomas Dornan,
entered the tavern of Daniel Foley. Eighth
street and Germantown road, and while his
attention was diverted abstracted about S5
from the money drawer, and went Off with
their booty. Yesterday they entered the same
place, and Mr.. Foley made a preteXt to go up
stairs, but only went so far as to have q view of
the operations of his pretended customers. He
saw Dornan sneak behind the bar and open the
money drawer. Not waiting for further evil
dence, he came down and caught both lads be-
fore they had time to escape. They were COM
mitted in default of $500 bail by Alderman
Helms.
