SowINa Com FOR FoDDER.--A
correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker adopts a mode of furrow-
ing for the drills by using two
horses and a common plow, the
ground being first ploughed and
narrowed in the ordinary manner
The first furrow extends around
the whole field at the outside.-
For the next, the near horse walks
in the furrow, and the team con-
Times going around until the CEN
tire is reached and the whole field
furrowed. This operation leaves
about eighteen inches between the
drills. The weight of the plow
alone will cause it to sink about
three inches, which is deep enough.
The corn ia strcwed a.ong the
burrows by hand, at the rate of
three bushels per acre, and then
covered by narrowing. A one
horse cnltivator, with the eide
tee h removed, is passed between
the rows when the corn is up, kill
ing the weeds and ridging the
rows. The nearness of the rows
to each other would doubtless give
larger crops by this mode, than
when they arc three feet apart.

There 10 q sunlight in the valley
Where the lilies lie asleep;
And the bsbbling brook is laughing
While the, willows DER IL weep.
The birds siog on the branches
Ali through the live-long day;
And the butterflies pre- daneing
Their happy lives away. ...-
The Wild bee sips the nectar
From the sweet. brier's blooming cup;
While the tiny. modest violet

And on its face reflected
Lies the nEure Of the sky,
As are mirrored In the waters, ~.

Yesi there's sunlight in the valley,
Where the lihes lie asleepi .. ...
But cannot zee its beauty, --
For my eyes are closed to weep.
But my heart 10 looking heavenward,
As looks the violet blue.
While on IL 10 reflected
The impress Of the true.

Lay me down and swsetly sleep;

In that land where none need weep.
In that land ofglorious beauty,
Where the sunlight never fades,

No heart shrine ever shades.

CURE FOR RoUP IN CHIcKESs.-
A gentlemen who had several
valuable fowls afflicted with roup
asked a well known chicken fan
cier of this city for q remedy
He was informed that the most
efectual cure was to cut off the
heads of the fowls as soon as the
disease made it's appearance. Un.
willing to lose valuable fowls with
out making an effort to save them,
he commenced to treat them after
a method of his own. He placed
his diseased fowls in a perfectly
dry room, bathed their heads with
kerosene oil and rubbed their
bills inside with a mixture of alum
and grease. lie fed them only
on Indian meal and boiled pota-
toes, we'll peppered with cayenne,
no hard food whatever being allow
ed them. With this treatment they
commenced to improve, and in
from week to ten days had en-
tirely recovered. The disease has
seldom failed to succumb to this
treatment. On an average, only
about one chicken in six died.

CUTTING AND TRAINING ToMA

TuEs.-A Massachusetts CORES.
pondent Of the Country Gentle
man states that the rast season he
tried seven ways of cnltivating
and training the tomato, and likes
training to single stake tie best,
as they ripened ten days earlier
and yielded better than the others.
The plant as it grows is tied to tile
stake. When the first cluster of
blossom buds appear, the lateral
shoots which appear in tie axil of
each leaf below it, are carefully
plucked out, leaving but a single
stem, surmounted by a cluster of
flowers, and q bud which will
serve to continue the stem. This
bud will develop three leaves and
cluster Of flowers, and all the
axilary shoots upon it are re-
moved, and the stem is kept care
fully tied up, and 80 on. The vine
is kept to a single stem without
branches, and bearing only leaves
and clusters of fruit. The vines,
with the exception of two, grew
to the top of the stakes, the first
cluster growing within three inch
es of the ground, and the first ripe
tomatoes the 25th of July.

dREENNEss.-Many remarks
have been made about the green
ness of countrymen when i'm cities,
but the truth is, the greenest of all
green things is city man in the
country.
A short time ago, a man from
New York, went up to Potter Co.,
Pa., to visit his country cousins
Desiring to show him every atten.
ton, his relatives got mp q deer
hnnt for lIis special pleasure
They furnished him with the best
outfit and the best rife, stationed
him on the best run away, told
him to shoot the deer when it
should attempt to pass down on it's
way to the river, and then took
other and less inviting positions
themselves. The dogs were ths:;::
taken into the forest and soon start
ed the game, which rushed pell-
NELL through bramble, brier and
windfall down the select path and
across the river to parts unknown.
Not hearing the report of any rife,
the Potter boys started for the sta
tion of their city f:iend, whom
they found at his point of observa-
tion, looking intently upon tho
runaway. "Why did you not
shoot the deer 2" they inquired.
"Have not seen any," he replied.
"Did You see anything" "Yes,
saw the devil come tumbling
down the mountain with a big
rocking chair on his head, and his
pocket handkerchief hanging out
behind"

What tho Features Indicate.

We are told that the extremes
OF both largeness and smallness of
stature are not favorable to
strength of intellect. Giants and
dwarfs are. generally deficient in
this respect, and excessive corpu-

sociated with mental activity. Ar

paratively extensive forehead is
quite consistent with mental Co.

latter fact.

ONE.of the most sing ular sights
growing out of the war is q con.
tinous line of peach trees around
Petersburg, and extending toward
Richmond. They are growing
from the breast works thrown MP
by the Confederate army, and are
the only legacy left by the poor
fellows who were on the advance
line. Having eaten the fruit while
on picket duty. they cast the stones
aside, and now they appear in one
continuous line of beautiful trees,
which yielded an abundant crop

DIVINE PRovrDENcE.- A little
error Of the eye, a misguidance of
the hand. a slip of the foot, a
starting of a horse, a sudden mist,
a great shower, or a word unde-
signedly cast forth in an army, has
turned the tide OF victory from
one side to another, and thereby
disposed of empires and whole
nations. No prince ever returns
safe out of battle, but he may we'll
remember how many blows and
bullets have gone by, that might
have gone though him and what
little, odd, unforeseen chances of
death he has seen turued aside,
whicb seemed in full, ready, and
direct career to have been posting
to him. All of which passages
if We do not acknowledge to have
been guided to their respective
ends and eff cts by the conduct of
a superior and Divine hand, we
do, by the same assertion, cashier
all Providence, strip the Almighty
OF HIS nob!est prerogative, and
make God not the governor, but
the mere spectator Of the world.

REMEDY FOR THE BoRER IN Ap.
PIE TREEs.-A correspondent gives
the best remedy which he has
ever seen tried for the borer in
and lice on apple trees. 1t is as
follows: For tree six inches in
diamater, take a brace and bit
the bit say halfinch-bore three
holes to the heart, commencing
about six inches from the ground,
advancing each hole about six
inches mp and one.third around
the tree. Then fill each hole with
sulphur. Ping the holes up with
a soft piece of wood, cut off
smoothly and the work is DONE
The spring is the best time to do
the work, when the sap first starts
in tho tree. The sulphuric purga .
ton will give the customers par
ticular fits.

SAVE THE MANuRE-It ia al VA,

SAVE THE MANURE 1t is always
a wonder TO an Eastern man how
people anywhere can waste feIti.
lizing material. However rich the
soil, common sense teaches that
each crop carried off makes it less
80, unless something is returned in
payment for the abstraction. No
matter how large the pile of mon-
ey, the decrease of a penny a day
will at length take the whole. So
no matter how rich soil, contin-
ued cropping will make it poor
unless the average is kept up by
something returned In lieu of that
taken.
Save the manure, all of it, and
what is not needed now will be in
reserve for some future necessity.
