WHAT Poor FARMERS CAN AFFoRD.-
There are certain improvements which
the poorest farmer can afford, and
which he cannot afford to neglect. He
can afford to thoroughly till and enrich
his lands. He can afford to plant the
best variety of seeds, and keep and
breed the best animals. He can afford
good, convenient tools, and employ
good help. He can afford to read and
pay for good agricultural books and
papers. He cannot afford to permit
his land to become less4productive by
tilling He cannot afford to grow
crops that will not pay for productions,
or squander his resources by com
mencing labors that cannot be com
pleted. Governing himself by these
simple aXiOms he will soon find him
sell in a position to crafty every de
sire instead of being bound by the
stern demands of economy.-Farm

ence of opinion as to the policy re-
commended by the Democratic State
Convention, in reference to the selec-
ton of candidates. 1t is easily un
derstood. For the State offices, nom
nations were made without reference
to any tests, not embraced in the
present Constitutions of the United
States and of the State of Mississippi.
1t was held that to give Gov. Hum
phreys and his associates majority of
the votes cast, would necessarily in
clude the defeat of the bogus constitu-
ton, and continue in Office the present
incumbents.
Every man who desires to effect
this object, will therefore vote for the
Democratic State ticket, headed by the
veteran patriot, and against the con-
stitution."
To provide, however, for the failure
of this plan, it was wisely recommend
ed that candidates be nominated for
the Legislature, who can qualify under
the proposed constitution, so that by
taking their stand in that body, the
people will still have it in their power
to oppose successful resistance to
Mongrelism, until the Northern masses
come to the rescue Of their constitu-
tional liberties and their civilization in
the elections next fall.

PEAS AS FIELD CRoP.-In some
sections of this country-as parts OF
Pennsylvania, New York and Vermont
peas are grown to considerable ex
| tent. In Canada they are one of the
most important crops. Peas abound
in heterogeneous, or what are consider
ed by chemists, flesh forming sub
stances; and experience proves them
to be very valuable, not only for labor
ing, but also for fattening, animals
Perhaps no experiments have been
made with such accuracy as would
demonstrate their actual value for
these purposes, as compared with In
dian corn and other grains; but per
sons who have fed them to various
kinds of stock, generally consider
peas worth more per bushel than corn
Its the practice, in some places, to
SOW peas and oats together, the pro
portion being generally one part peas
to two of oats. The crop is consider
ed excellent horse and sheep food, and,
ground, is highly esteemed for fatten-
ing hogs. Many persons think it makes
trmer and better pork than Indian
corn.
Peas produce an excellent effect on
the land They succeed best on some
what tenacio"s soils, which they rem
der mellow, and in good state for
other crops. They are q good pre-
paratory crop for wheat They are
frequently sowed on ground that was
plowed the preceding fall, in which
case good working Of the ground by
the cultivator is all that is needed: but
they may be put on ground Just
broken up. They should be sown as
early as the ground can be properly
worked.
If peas are wanted for early feeding,
they may be cue when the main por-
ton is fairly filed, in such quantities
as are wanted, from day to day, and
led to hogs or sheep. Whether cut at
this stage, or allowed to ripen, they
are taken off in ample time for the
autumn sowing of wheat, and the
ground will break up in fine condi-
ton.
As to the yield, the Canadians fire.
quently get forty bushels to the acre.
Perhaps twenty five to thirty bushels
may be deemed an average yield.-

ST. LEGER GRENFEL.-The public
was greatly gratified not long since
to learn that this gallant English sol
dier had escaped from his prison at
the Dry Tortugas, and in his love of
liberty, at the risk of life, he had trus-
ted himself to the m 5rcies of frail
boat in an attempt to cross the Flori-
ola Straits to Cuba. We have the plea
sure of stating that his voyage was
made in safety, and that letter has
been received from him in Havana,
sending his thanks and acknowledge
ments for kind treatment to some of
the army officers ct Tortugas, and
stating that he was just about to sail
for Old England. We do not doubt
that every gentleman officer belonging
to the garrison of his prison gard
rejoices at his escape.-Mobile Adver-

Corn has been injured by the recent
