Delay Not.

Each day, each hour, each moment Of
our lite brings with it lis duty. This duty
is not always something to be done it may
be something to be borne it may include
neither doing nor suffering, for rest may be
a duty But there is no moment left va
cant of It's claim upon US.
Aud each duty comes to us with this
voice. " that thou doesi, do quickly" 1t
is thus urgent because Of the relation Of
time to it,. This element Of time is always
in motion, and always producing changes
Neglect The dalios OF the hour and it is an

lected duty into the next hour, and you
crowd out Of that It's own appointed task
and some task out Of life A lost hour is
lost beyond recall Time not only lapses,
unimproycd, but it works changes.
Delay a duty, and the mind often loses
the clearness Of its perception in reference
to it, that revealing flash that lights up

Farmers Clubs.


Now is the season of long evenings and
short days. and to the farmers it brings
comparative leisure, when they can meet
together to discuss the ways and means of
more profitable farming, and read books,
essays and newspapers in the quiet and
comfort of their own homes, which will not
only amuse them for the time being, but
will give them food for thought, and
strengthen the mental powers, as much as
the pillow, hoo and rake strengthen the mus
cuar powers. A dozen or fifteen families,
or even more, will find great profit in form
ing a" Farmers Club" and besides the
usual conversation, they can arrange list
of subjects for discussion, appoint essayists
from their numbers, and if the meetings
grow too large for dwelling-house, why
then hold them in the school-house, and
ask young and old "to speak in meet
ing upon the subjects under discussion.
One great want of the farming district is
social intercourse. Our farmers and ter
families are too isolated, and suffer pm
the lack Of information which could be "

Fodder Corn.


The fodder coru question seems TO be
still open. 1t will be remembered by those
who read the proceedings Of the Vermont
Dairymen's Association. that Mr. Lewis
took strong grounds against il asan uuprodt-
able crop useful it might be to a certain
extent, but not so good as other soinr
crops On the other hand, Mr.. Mason,
the President Of the Association referred
to, assured the writer that he could show by
his books that six acres Of fodder corn had
been worth to him 5000 to feed to his herd
Of so COWS. Another dairyman said be

thought the color Of his butter was also not
so good. lie began to feed fodder corn,
and both Immediately improved. Ia both
these instances the corn was sown 10 drills,
TWO to three bushels to the acre, and fed
green. la 1871 we raised two acres in
this way on ground Of moderate Fertility.
Il grew well, and when frost came it was
a heavy, though rather immature crop
Only portion Of it had tasselled. The
harvesting was laborious and expensive. 1t

tons, and it was packed away, well mixed

the main was pretty well eaten up. The
impression, however left on the minds
Of those who fed it cut was that it lacked

The average depth Of New England soil
is probably somewhere between four and
six inches. Some Of the alluvial, or Of the
heavy upland soils, will be more than that,
but the plains and much of the sandy loans
will be less. In the highly cultivated parts
Of Europe, the average depth Of the soil is
put down atsix inches. Under proper cul-
tiyation, any soil can gradually be made
deeper; and the deeper it is, the more lux.
uriantly plants will grow. BY the most
careful observations aud experiments made
in Germany, it appeared that if soil SIX
inches thick was worth lilty-lour; so that
going back in the scale, that only three
inches thick would be worth thirty-eight
A little deeper ploughing annually, and
a regular increase oil the vegetable matter
would constantly increase the value Of the
crop The importance of deep soil will
be seen, when it is noticed that it cost,
about as much to work soil Of three inch,
es as it does to work one Of six, and that
the crop on the latter would usually be
double Of that on the thinner soil
Where circumstances are favorable, the
roots Of plants penetrate the soil much
deeper than they are usually supposed to
do. In certain places, the roots of red
clover will 60 down six feet BY careful
examination, Schubert found the roots Of
winter wheat as deep as seven feet, in a
light soil, forty.seyen days after sowing
The roots of cloveron year old, were three

clover, but four inches longer. A parsniT

One Of the great advantages Of a deeI

individual, bestows more cultivation on his
feet than ON his brains. Let us be glad that in
all the wide extent between the Charity Ball
and the opera bou1v tag-rag the one extreme is
glorifed by the pervasion of noble senti-
ment and the other is not SO rufdanly and
obscene as it was year ago. Let us rejoice
that the Firemen's Ball has enjoyed so many
and such well-attended anniversaries that it
can now afford to die of good old age, and
that the oblivion into which it will sink is not
dishonorable. Of the Arion and the Lieder-
hanz it will perhaps be sufficient to say that
they do not improve with time, and that the
discontinuance of neither would infict an
irreparable injury on the community. Will
ingly week or two ago we paid our tribute to
the French Cooks Ball, taking off our hat and
making our little bow, with sense of the
genius of Blot and Francateli, and cordial
concession that the man who could cook well
had peculiar right to make merry and be
glad with Terpsichore. OF all vanity and
vemtion of spirit the greatest is the habit of
declaring that the world is full of them. Let
us not carp too much at certain portion of
society for protesting to find more gratifca-
ton in the periodical twirling of its toes than
it really does. The ball season is season of
show and sham but who shall say that the
Lenten season Immediately following is en-
tirely destitute of these characteristics

TELEGRAPHS AND THE NEWS.
TELEGRAM TO TIVE new YORK HERALD.

LONDON, Feb. %, 1873.
An interesting suit, involving the question OF
property in telegraphc news has just been decided
on an application for Injunction before of the
Vice Chancellor's Courts. The Telegraph Despatch
Company, an organization for the transmission of
news and for other business connected with tele-
graphs, ia plaintiff, and James Mclean, until
recently manager of the company, is defendant.
The directors OF the company, believing that
their manager was using the connections and
facilities Of the company for his private advantage
and to their detriment, removed him from his
position. A chancery suit was then brought by
the company, to recover damages from Mclean
for his past operations, and also to restrain him
from competition with the company, in which, it
was alleged, he would use the news facilities and
connections OF the company OF which he had
obtained control while in its employ as manager.
The Chancellor granted an order restraining
Mclean from engaging In any manner in the bust
ness Of sending telegraphic news.
The defendant In the action Is the London agent
OF the American Press Association at New York. to
which he has hitherto sent news.

Another Cold Blast Threatened

AnOtnCT NOAu 0AoSS 4hE0oSoAoWs
Again we are to have another freezing spell,
as predicted by the weather prophets who
yesterday announced very cold weather on
the Lower Lakes. The reports from the
Northwest have indicated recurrence of the
intensely cold Arctic blast of December last,
with Thermometers twenty and thirty degrees
below zero. The Winter may be near it's
close, but we may expect some rude manifes-
tations of its rigor before the Spring is es-
tablished. Last year one of the most terrible
frosts and colds of the season visited this Sec
ton on the I'd Of March, and, for the time,
nipped the buds OF Spring and put its seal
upon the water courses. We may take warn
ing from the proverbial uncertainty of the
March weather. The country north Of us,
beyond the Lakes, must now be covered with
ice and snow in solid sheets, and with every
blast that blows from the far North we may
be deluged with this Polar air. In the East
ern and Middle States it is too early for the
fruit to be affected; but if the cold should
again be as great in the Southern States as it
has been this Winter it must be very destruc-
tive to the outcropping vegetation.
