FALL PLoUGHING.-If there is
any time this month when men and
teams are short of work, they can
be very profitable employed in
ploughiDg: For heavy soils fall
ploughing is especially valuable, as
the soil becomes much more mellow
by being LETT somewhat uneven and
light through the winter to the ac-
ton of the frost and weather. Fall
ploughing is not advisable on light
soils, or on sloping grounds, when
heavy rains are liable to wash the
land; or where strong winds will
blow the surface soil off.

FooD FOR GROWING Fowl.

FooD FOR GROWING Fowls
Food for young and growing fowls
must, to obtain good growth, be
rich in nitrates and phosphates.
Corn meal contains mnch oil, which
before it can be appropriated by the
system, has to 60 through a nun
Der Of chemical changes, conse-
quenfly it is too rich a food to be
fed exclusively to young chickens,
Coarse oatmeal mixed with milk
is very nutritious food. Cracked
or whole wheat is also excellent
and two mixed in equal parts give
undoubtedly, the best grain food We
can obtain, with perhaps fhe excep-
ton of rice. Milk curd is very nu-
tritious, and should always be given
them when it can be had; 1t insect
foodi is not abundant, and milk OF
curd not obtainable, feed fresh meat
boiled and minced. After the
chickens have got a good start In
feathers, corn meal can be used as
the general grain TODD, as oatmeal
and wheat (thongh BEST are too ex
pensive for common use. For veg
etables, boiled potatoes, mashed and
mixed with wheat bran, are excel
lent.

dung tins method
- It is generally dried
N Che |tate in which it is dug, and
and the faster this can be done the
better y is for the merchant, foI
ginseng dried rapidly does not lose
so muci, in weight as when allowed
TO dry slowly.
All attempts at the artificial cul-
tivation of ginseng on a large scale
has hitheto been without success.
The growtA of the plant from the
seed is slow and uncertain. and the
spontaneous supply has untilrecent-
ly been great enough to meet all
demands, o that no very determin-
ed efforts have yet been made to
grow it by the inhabitants of the
State where ii hourishes.
The East Ipdia company sent a
party Of scientific men to this coun-
try some yes ago, who. after a
series Ofe1pS iments with the plant
for period &. six years. declared it
impossible : ee rear ginseng in a state
of artificial Cultivation. Many old
diggers and merchants also say so,
but one old digger with whom we
an acquaintance does raise annually
quite quantity for the market
and therefore what he has accom-
plished OIL small scale, with care
and patience could be done on a
larger |'nder like condition and
as tbtobemand is now in excess Of
the t' F5ply, and Chin~is depending
more and more every year upon this
country for tine root, it naturally
follows that those who shall first
successfully grow ginseng will find
it very remunerative business,
until the secret Of its culture becomes
wide spread, when the price must
necessarily decline.
And so by the superstition OF a
semicivilized race an otherwise in
considered weed becomes an article
of great commercial value, gives
occupation and livelihood to num-
bers of people and adds materially
to the wealth of the United States.

could not now, and might net for months, per-
sonally attend to any Of The duties of his Office,
nevertheless lIe would still be tho President,
and it would be the duty Of his Secretaries, and
the disposition OF the people, to respect his
wishes faT as possible. Since his chosen
Secretaries would naturally know ms viii
better than anybody else, their acts would still
be respected, within any reasonable limits, as
the acts Of the President. Whether they had
received instructions in respect to each act, or
were merely actin upon general IL structions
previously given, and upon a better knowledge
of the Presidents will than anyone else could
possess, would make no difference as to their
legal powers, or as to the respect paid by The
people to their exercise of authority
If it should come to pass that President
could not perform his duties, and in all proba-
bility would be permanently unafe to perform
them, such a disability as the Constitution pro-
vldes for would then have arisen. There are
legal methods for arriving at judicial decision
respecting the Presidents mental competency
When he has been pronounced incapable, the
Constitution provides a successor. Until that
case arises, however, the President is presumed
to act through his chosen agents.
