HINTS ABOUT WoRK.-The American
AyriculturaliSt for March contains some
practical and reasonable hints 10 agricutu-
rists, in whiCE it says:
Make up your mind what you intend to
do. Sit down aud count the cost. Do not
undertake more than you can perform
1t is unwise to commence work that you
are not able to finish in due season. Many
a farmer loses more by getting behind hand
with his spring work than would buy ano-
ther team. aud pay the wages for man for
a year. This has, ut any rate, been true
more than once in my Own experience.
/ Have you not found it so
What then shall We do p-Shall we buy
more horses and hire more meu = Not if
we can help it. 1t would probably be bet
! ter 10 plow less land. This is point each
/ farmer must decide for himself All we can
say is, do not get behind hand with your
work. Almost anything is better than this.
| Tie Seasons do not Change. We are quite
apt to blame the weather. And yet il is a
| matter of fact that there is no change in our
( climate. There have always been wet aud
cold years and years of great drought. We
should be prepared for them.
URdCrdrdmmg on all wet soils is indis-
pensable to real success in farming. \ well
| drained and well worked heavy soil is rare
ly effected by drought. Every enterprsing
farmer vii! ac more or less draining every
spring Ii he once commences to under
drain, and does the work well, he will not
be likely to stop until he has made all his
land dry.
I6p-dresSing Grass Land is grand
means of ame!iorating the effect of drought
Spread the manure as early as possible in
the spriug, aud if you have a Thomas har-
row, use i: freely to break up the manure.
Go Orer the Farm as soon as the snow
mclts in the spring. You will see many
things that need to be done. Make note
of them and prepare to do them at the right
time.
Let of Surface Water.-This is always
in order. Farmers will let it OFF wheat, but
very few ever think of letting it off bare
stubble. If there is no crop to kill they
think il can do no harm. a few hours ju-
dicious labor will often let OIL more water
than the sun, at this season, can evaporate
in a month.
Nuke your lodlkS dry,-Put down planks
or boards, if necessary but il is far better
TO get tho water of. You can do this II

you attend to the matter before The water
soaks iuto the groand
Irrigating Grass Land at this season is q
clpital thing provided the land rests on a
dry, porous subsol, or is underdraiued.
But irrigating low, wet land will do no
good. Better get off all the water youcan,
instead of getting more on to it. ....
Drain first and then Irrtgate. e.-This will
double or treble your grass crop and not
ajure the quality. There are many streams
that might be easily damned up and tho
water diverted over acres of grass land at 4
small cost. 1t is a great mistake to sup
pose that irrigation is only necessary in dry
weather. 1t does great good on grassland
early in the sprihg. Try it.
,SolC grass and clorerseed on ttheot carly in
the spring. unless you propose to harrow
the wheat. 1t is seldom that the seed il
injured by the frost. Do not spare the
seed, and be careful not to miss any land.
Plaster may be sOwn at any time when
most convenient; from one to two bushels
per acre is enough. 1t will do no good on
low. wet land.
Repair the Fences. S.-This can be done a
times when other work is not prcssng-say
after rain, when the ground is too wet to
plow.
PiItug Hdnure should be Done, if done at
all, early in the spring. Many farmers
prefer to draw their manure out of the
yards directly on the land. We will not
argue the question here. All we say is, do
something with the manure. Either use it
now or keep for future use, but do not keep
it spread over the premises.

SWEET POTATO VINES FOR SToCH.--
a Mississippi correspondent of Our Home
Journal says: AS the general opinion in
regard to the curing of the sweet potato
vine for hay, or feed for stock. is that they
haze to be dried on fence or rack, and
not on the ground, please permit me to
give my mode of curing the vines.--After
a good frost, or at the proper digging time,
L go over the field with a sharp hoe and
cut the vines loose on the top of each row
put good, stout horse or mule to turn
plow, and let him walk in the furrow, gath
ering all the vines can on the plow drive
to the end OF the row, empty my load. and
return to the same furroR until | have OBJ
tained all the vines, and so on until the
field is gone over. Shake out the vines,
and spread them evenly on the ground
turn them over once a day, and if you have
good sun you can take them in on the
third day, or they may remain out until the
fourth day, then house them. Mich cows
will give more and richer milk fed upon
well cured potato vines than they will fed
upon the same bulk of the best crab-grass
hay. | have cured vines in this way, and
my cows did eat them as well, if not better,
than they did the best farm-grass hay. Let
some OF your readers try it, ard do not
think they will pow in the vines to rot
again II the vines are cut from the pots
tns before the frost descends to the tubers,
there is but little danger from the frost the
vine being cut even with the ground, or
still! better, below the surfilce.n)

After the dissenting opinion of Chief
Justice Read, Judge Sharswood made the
following remarks from the bench:
l concur in the opinion that has just been
read, and do not know that have any
thing to add. The result of all the autho-
rites on this subject, which don't under
stand TO be denied, is that it is not compe-
tent for the Legislature to delegate the law
making power. The point of discussion
seems to turn upon what is law.
1t is clear there are great many things
which the Legislature can do. and which
it is in the habit of doing, and which con-
stitute acts of the Legislature, which in the
sense of Parker VS.. the Commonwealth are
not laws. There are a,good many acts of
executive administration which they can
delegate to the courts, or To the municipal
corporations, or to the people Of the diiler-
ent districts. Buta law" properly speak
ing, is rule Of conduct prescribed by the

WATERING HOUSE PLANTS.


The English Garden is inclined to
dispute the rule that water "should be
given in moderately small quantities,
and supplied frequently" If the causes
of failure where plants are cultivated IN
windows were mutely investigated. the
dribbling system of watering would be
found to be the principle cause. A
plant ought not to be watered until 1t IS
in a fit condition to receive a liberal
supply of that element, having previous
ly secured good drainage, in order
that all superabundant water may be
quickly carried off. Those who are
constantly dribbling a moderately small
quantity of water upon their plants, will
not have them in fourishing condition
for any length of time. This must be
obvious to all, for it is quite evident
that the moderately small quantity OF
water frequently given would keep the
surface OF the soil moist, while at the
same time, from the effects of good drain
age. which is essential to the well-being
of all plants in an artificial state, all
the lower roots would perish for want
of water, and the plant would become
slckly, and eventually die.

If mans whole life-object is to make

WoMAN's FoRTITUDE.-As Mrs. Car
ter whose summer residence is near
Sing Sing, was approaching the depot in
the train from Albany, last week, she
nut her arm out Of the car window to
wave her handkerchief to her children,
who were awaiting her arrival, and at
that moment the cars passed close to an
iron post, and this struck Mrs. Carriers
arm with such violence that the sound
of the conclusion was plainly audible to
those sitting near. She, however, did
not utter even the slightest exclamation
of pain, but with the aid of her other
hand quietly drew her injured arm into
her lap, and with tightly compressed
lips, only looked the pain she was I'M
dergoing. II am afraid my arm is
broken; but please don't mention 1t,
she said, in answer to sympathetic
chances. An examination showed that
her arm was fractured in two places,
but on the trains arrival at the depot
she walked quietly to her carriage. hid
ing her agony lest it should cause pail
to those dear to her Poughkeeps'
Eagle.

An inclination for any study is the
cheapest and best pleasure a man can
have. Pursuing it, he gains insight into
other things, and is thrown in the way
of congenial company. But do not let
your taste run away with you; do not
let it intrude on business. or sleep, or
exercise. Do not allow yourself to be
an Indifferent clerk for the sake of being
an Indifferent artist. Be thorough in
your duties, and you will elevate the
standard of your taste.-Edcard Gar.

[ hear Him in the wind
If in the gloom of Night shroud.
His face | cannot fly;

We hang upon His word

Then, when His thunders cease.
Sits like an angel mid the storm,
And smiles the winds to peace.

SMALL TRIALS.

The aggregate of trial from small
things is greater than gigantic Affections.
The daily fretting Of business, the gall
ing embarrassments of purposes crossed
by the counter-purposes of others, are
hard to bear because we mist bear them
always. Every man who stands in Dr.
ganized relations to other men is daily
tried by the irritability of superior,
or the intractability Of subordinate.
Women, of all others, especially those
who have the cares of housekeeping and
the management Of children, are subject
to annoyances much more grievous, in
the long run, than the greater sorrows
Of life. When the child cries, the ia
ther, unless he be paragon of fathers,
finds business suddenly calling him down
town; he remembers an important err
rand at Jones that he had forgotten,
until the cross child refreshes his memo
ry. The mother IS a prisoner in her
bedlam, and what wonder if sometimes
the patience fail, and If, with some long
tried and heavily burdened soul, heart
and hope give out at last? The great
heroes are not those who have carried
heaviest sorrows mcekly, but those men
who have endured daily contradictions
of people and daily embarrassment Of
circumstances with meekness the great
heroines are those women that, under
, the incessant wear and tear of little vex
ations, have borne in obscurity the flow
er of patience and the fruit of long suff
ering. In great trials there are compen
stations. All the world of our acquaint
ance is looking at US, perchance, and tn
large stage upon which our fortitude 0
our integrity is exercised affords u
some stimulus. Or, at least, our owl
: egotism finds satisfaction in consciou
heroism. But there is meanness abou
little cares that shuts out this consolation
The great heroes are not they to whor
