A lyiug tongue hatetU ^h so that are afflicted hy it, and a flattering mouth work- eth ruin." The wickedness and mischief here so pun- gently described, sprang very much from simply listening to scandal, aud then repeat¬ ing it. '*A wicked dnergiveth hv»M\ to fal.ce lips, and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue." Nest after thie extraordinary defi¬ nition of the wicked doer and a Har, one of the profoundest, pithjest, and most compre¬ hensive proverbial truths is this, '^^lAialying tongue hateth those that are affiicted by it.— Let a man set a lie agoing againat his neigh- bor, or let him take up such a lie and indorse it, and the more will the man committing thia injury, hate him that endures it. Let any person launch a calumny, or freight it when launched, and he will begin forthwith to hate the slandered man, especially if he knows the story to bo untrue and very inju¬ rious. In proportion as the mischief injures his neighbor, the slanderer will hate him.— Slander has thua pre-eminence over every other form of malice and wickedness; it kindles a deeper fire of depravity and ma¬ lignity in the soul of the liar. I And if his neighbor, thus cruelly slandered ! and wounded, takes up the calumny and per- aaes it, and endeavors to defend himself against it, the slanderer will begin to think himself injured by such pursuit, will resent the defense as a personal violence, and may perhaps accuse the slandered man of abuse and malice and bitterness, because he pro- BOanoefl the calumny a calumny, and seeks and produces the evidence to prov« it such. A man who before was perfectly friendly to another, many become his enemy, just sim- . ply by injuring him, may begin to hate him jnst because he had done him wrong. This is one of the dread mysteries of depravity in onr fallen nature, one of the proofs of a heart indeed set on fire of hell. And. the mischief that the slanderer thus inflicts upon his otvn character, as well as the misery he may call to the slandered man, is one of the reasons why God's wrath is made to bum with such inlensitj against this sin. The code of law in the Old Testament, and of love iu the new, is marked in this respect. One of the greatest proofs of high civilization and purity in any country is the worth of re¬ putation, aud the care with whicb, by law I and religion, a man's oharacter ia protected | from assault. God put it in his decalogue, i Thou Shalt not bear falie witness against thy neighbor. And he added, "if a false witness rise up against any man, to testify against him that which is wrong, then both the men, between whom the controversy is, tball stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges which shall be in those days, and the judges shall make diligent inquisition ; and behold, if the witness be a false witnesa, and hath testified falsely against his brother, tben shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother; and those that remain shall hear and fear, and shall hence- forth commit no more any such evil among you." Hearsay could never he alleged in excuse for propagating or hearing witness to calumny. Neither was one witnesa alone sufficient, mnch less a pretended witness who had only caught up the reverberation of the other's report.— It was set down hy divine inspiration is one mark of a truely upright and good man, that be not on\J backbileth nol with his tongaenor doeth evil to his neighbor, bnt taketh not up a reproach against his neighbor. He r»?eeivfith it not, he doth not indorse it, nor brins it into his habitation as a guest. He will not stoop to take it up, if he meet it in tha street; he will not be guilty of taking it up, in the sense of spreading it, reporting it, as a hear¬ say whioh he .believes. And if he sets his hand in writing, or in print, along with others, to a reproach thhs wickedly taken up, it ia an unrighteoua wit¬ ness, much more deliberately, and therefore much more sinfully, with much greater guilt, both in the sight of God and man, than I if hfi had merely given to tbe calumny a cir-, culation with the tongue. No language can tell the misery that my be inflicted on an innocent and harmless victim in either way. How many households have been filled with misery aud mourning all through life; how many hearts crushed with irremediable rnin and anguish; how many fair prospects blighted, and hopes of useful¬ ness and happiness daitroyed. And the author and reporter of the calumny is him¬ self the assassin of tl^e character, and the robber and the murderer of the slandered' Tiotim of his wickedness. Every pain the slandered man has to bear, every sharp pang that enters into his soul, the slanderer gives the atab. Every pecuniary loss that ensues, the slanderer is the highway robber; and as death ifl sometimea the result of a, calumny, the slanderer in that case ia the murderer. ¦li^.a^*.— His Febt Slipped Beneath Him.—A new sensation novel has the following capital cUm&x. It is good: Am I really dear to you, Sophia? I whis¬ pered, and P'^"* niy burning lips to her rosy month. She did not say yea ; she did not say no; but she returned my kiss ; my soul w*s no longer In the body; I touched ¦ the Btara; I knew the happiness of the scrap- him; mna the earth went firom nnder my feet! al aotioD. Iu thia way moro strength is ex¬ pended foolishly than would have aufficed to have rectified the wrong, and, perchance, t« have turned the evil into good. 0, the dis¬ advantages of peevishness!. Its possHssors are the most commi!^erable of all miserable wretches, Pretfulness invariably aggravates every existiug evil. As inevitably as the needle points to the pole, and as surely aa the poi¬ soned fountain gives forth bitter waters, fretting can not possibly produce anything but evil. Frequently it converts one trivial difficulty into two serious ones ; The spirit of fretfulness in this way becomes the pes¬ tilent seed whose growtli and nurture up¬ root and destroy the faire.-it flowers that bloom in the garden ofKdeu. Persons say they are peevish because they are sick ; they aro fretful because they are bothered ; they are ill-natured because the weather is ungenial; they scold, and gib. ber, and rant because they are troubled, or beoaase somebody has abused them; they are angry because some one else is so. Fatal mistake ! Shall we injure ourselves because others try to injure us ? This is too silly a notion for intelligent bpings to entertain a moment. Shall we act madly because some one else has acted foolishly ? This is the very ex¬ pression of the apirit of beastlineis—evil for evil. It is good alone that overcomes evil, Alas! those who live a life of peevlshneas who fret and scold on all the trivial occasions of losses and crosses, little know what bodily ' injury and mental degradation are among the fearful penalties which they incur and suffer. They scarcely dream of the depth of that unfathomable pit, adown which the whole moral nature sinks among the hells of a dis¬ ordered and perverted mind. Little do they understand of the immense difl'erence, in the final result of a life's experience, between applying all of their mental powers on all occasions to the best of purposes, or misap¬ plying, wasting, and debasing them.—Life Illustrated. .. ¦».. School GovEESMEXT.—We would praise a school as Pope did a government, "That which is best administered is best." Yet, in the whole range of human duties we think there are none more arduous and difficul than the right discipline and government of a Com¬ mon School. Dr. South, the English Sermoni- zer, said, " Kvery child has some brute in it, and some man in it, and just in proportion to tbe brute we must whip, it." But Dr. Bull, the distinguished Educator, once re- ^ marked tbat, ^*A maximum of attainment could be made onl7by a minimum of punish-' ment." Yet, we believe that corporal punish¬ ment is necessary sometimes. " Itis true, we abhor this government, but we obhor,' saya the Boston Common School Journal, "the halter and the State pri.soa more; and, in tbe present state of society, it is our belief that* ifthe'first be not sometimes used, the last mnst be. And it is pusillanimity, as well as folly, to shrink from the crushing of the egg but to wait composedly for the bathing of the viper." When punishment are inflicted, they shonld answer their end. They shonld not be in - flicted in that spirit which debases and bruti fies both scholar and master. Teachers there are, who thoughtlessly and unfeelingly pinch the and pn 1 the hair of their pupils, and beat them about the head with books and ferules ; such ahould be swine-drivers, and fined soundly for their want of humanity. Locke on the Human Understanding has, in tho following quotation, exhausted this whole matter: '• I have seen parents so, heap rules on their children, that it was impossible for the poor little ones to remember a tenth part of them, much less to observe them. However, they were either by words or blows corrected for tbe breach of those multiplied and often vt:rj impertinent precepts. Whence it natu- ally followed, that the children minded not what was said to them; when it was evident to them, that no attention they were capable of was sufficieftt to preserve tbem from trans¬ gression, and tho rebukes which followed it. 'Let, therefore, your rnles to your son be as few as possible, and rather fewer than may seem absolutely necessary. For if you bur¬ den him with many rules, one of these two things must necessarily follow, that either he must be very often punished, whicb will be of ill consequence.hy making punishment too frequent and familiar; or else you mnst let the transgression of aome of your rules go unpunished, whereby they willof conrsefgrow contemptible, and your authority grow cheap to him. Make but {qw laws, but ^ee they will be well observed, when once made.— Few years require but few laws ; and as his age increases,'when one rule is by practice well established, yon may add another. *' But pray remember, children are not to be tanght by mles, which will be always slip¬ ping ont of their memorisg. What you think necessary for them to do, settle in them by an indispensible practice, as often aa the occasion returns; and, if it be possible, make occasions: 1. The one is, that yott keep them in tha practice of what yoa wonld have grow into a habit in them, by kind words and gentle admonitions, rather as reminding them of what they forget, than by harsh re¬ bukes and chiding, as if they were wofnlly gnilty. 2. Another thing yoa are to take care of ia not to endeavor to settle too many habits at once, leat by a variety you confound them, and so perfect none. When constant cnatom has made any one thing easy and natural to them, and they practice it without reflection you may then go onto another.— OrviUe Taylor. when we tell a ohild the meaning of every word, or answer every question asked iu a direct manner, we encourage him to depend upon onr, instead of his own, powers of un¬ derstanding, thereby defeating the very object of education, ,which is to build up and de¬ velop the powera of the mind; we have heen met with the answer, " That's what you're here for, to tell them what they don't know; and if you won't teach onr children what they want to know, there is no use In you're being here; you mnst go; we can get some¬ body else in your place." We do not wish to be understood to say that children's questions should not be an¬ swered. On the other hand, we have always contended that children shonld be encoura¬ ged to ask qnestions about things they do not understand. All children are naturally inquisitive, and as soon as they cau talk, ask many questions which puzzle older hea'ls to give a correct answer; aud it is much easier for the same parent that finds fault with the teacher for answering questions in an indirect manner, to answer his own children by "Go'longand don't bother me with soch foolish questions," than to give the little prat¬ tlers the desired information. Many a bright child ripens into a dull mo¬ notonous man from uot having his questions about 'little things' answered, when just be- gintng to think and form ideas for himself; and many an other one becomes a mere re¬ pository of book knowledge, withoat an idea of his own, or the power to appropriate the thoughts of otber men to any practical use^ from the fact of having his thinking done for him when at school, aud his mind stuffed with what he has never studied and does not need to take tho trouble to understand, when he has a teacher always ready to remove every difficulty he meets with in climbing the Hill of Science. A teacher cannot learn for tho pupil, any more than he can eat for him. Yet the teachers that I have met with, excepting a very few, seem to think that they can make acquirements for the child. As this cannot be done, teachers often labor with pupils to little purpose. Tbe office nf a teach«r is not to teach, bnt to assist the child in its efforts to teach itaelf. Self-education is the best education, aud the teacher should so prepare and assist the youthful mind, that it will desire and be able to educate itself. For example, when a pupil asks a qnestion, the teacher, instead of answering it at length, should ask such other que-^ions, that the child will be able to answer its own question. In this way the pupil may make that which he already knows, assi-st him in acquiring what is unknown. When a child is reading, and meets with a long word it cannot call, the teacher should not, as is the goneral practice, pronounce the word for the child, but he should make the ohild spell and pronounce the syllables of the word, and by this means, let the child master the word for itaelf. Dnring recitations, the teacher should not repeat halt the lesson for the child, but leave the pupil to depend upon his own powers to carry the lesson through. We learn too much for the people. And as legislators should encourage the people to act, but leave this action Ime; so teachers shonld excite their pupils to effort, but leave that effort to instruct. How TO LB.vDMo.VBr.—Ab to a pure husinesB transaction, you may not be too careful.— Bat when a friend of other years comes along, who has not been as successful as yourself, whom disappointment or miiplaced confi¬ dence, or unavoidable calamity has pressed to the earth, a friend who was once yonr equal iu all things, inferior in none, except, per¬ haps, in that hardness of character, which-ii a general element of auccess in life, don't begin to hem and haw, and stroke your chin; don't talk about "buts^^ and '* whys" and the tightness of the money market; ha knows that already—spare him the intelligence that you lent Mr. So and So a sum of money, which was never returned ; he don't want yoar biography, he wanta your cash, Don't tell him that if he were to die yon would loi* it; that arrow may sink deeper into his heart than anyamountofmoney could over fathom, and then close with a recital of this, that, and the other thing, which, if really true, could not interfere materially with your furnishing him tbe required amount. If you have or¬ dinary sagacity, you can make up your mind in a moment, whether to grant the accomoda¬ tion or refuse iU If you are a man, and you design a refusal, tell him at once in some kindly way, that you do not foel prepared to accede to his wishes. If, on the other hand, you have a heart to help him, do not do it as if you felt it were a mountain grinding you to powder, or as if each dollar you parted with was inflioting a pain equal to the draw¬ ing of a tooth; don't torture him with cross- queatioiiing, nor worm out of him some of the most sacred secrets of his life; away with your inquisitorial and brassy impertinence ; don't lay him on the rack for an hour at a time, as if you gloated at the sacrifice of his manhno -, aa if you wished to make him go down on his very knees to win his way into your purse; away with it all we say, and stand np like a mau ; give him a cordial greet¬ ing, let aholy sunshine light up yonr counte¬ nance, and apeak out before he has done asking; tell him how much you are gratified at having it in your power to help him, and let that help go out in full, free soul, and witb a good slap on the shoulder, bid him look forward and ahead, for there's sunshine there for him. Why the very feeling in the man's heart as he goes away from you, is worth more to humanity than all the money yon let him have, ten times told. He goes out ofyour presence with a heart as light as a feather, in love with all the world, and full of gratitude towards yon. He goes to work with a will, which hews down the obstacles and melts away the icebergs which hedge np the ways of men, and behold, in a moment, rough places are made smooth, and straight places made plain to him. Reader! suppose you ntverget yoor money back, and you have a heart so big, that you can, notwithstanding his non-payment, give him at every meeting a cordial smile of re¬ cognition, can speak to him without even reminding him of hia indebtedneas; it maybe that you are his only friend, but then you are the world to hira, and however hardly that world may have dealt with him, your single exception is placed on the credit aide of humanity, a thousand times its individual value; that man can neverdie s misanthrope for he will insist upon it to hia latest breath, "there is kindneaa in the world, after all."— What a grand thing it is to have a mau dose his eyes in death, and one of the last thoughts of mortality be a prayer for blessings on your head. We repeat, then, if you lend your money at all, do BO freely, promptly—do it with a wbole sonl. Do it with a grace that becomes a man, with a cordiality whioh wiil do quite a0 mnoh u your money fn raising yonr frknd -Kngland: "Money was scarce, wages being about fifty cents a day, thongh these were generally paid in meat, vegetables and other articles of nse —seldom in money. There was not a factory of any kind in the place. There was abutoh- er, but he only went from house to house to alanghter the cattle and swine of hts neigh¬ bors ; there was a tanner, but he only dressed other people's skins; there was a clothier but he generally fulled and dressed other people's cloth. • • • • Even dyeing blue a portion of the wool, ao as to make linsey-woolsey for short gowns, aprons, and blue-mixed stockings—vital ne- ceasitiea in those daya—was a domestic ope¬ ration. During the autnmn, a dye tub in the chimney comer—thus placed so as to be cherished by tfae genial heat—was as fami¬ liar in all thrifty bouses as the Bible or tbe back-log. It was covered with a board, aod a cosy seat in the wide mouthed fire-place, especially of a chill evening. • Our , bread was of rye, tinged with Indian meal.— Wheat bread was received for the sacrament I and company. • ' All the \ vegetables came from our garden and farm. | The fuel was supplied by our own woods— sweet scented hickory, snapping chestnut, odoriferous oak and rocking, fizzling ash. ' Sugar wrts partially supplied by oar maple trees. These were tapped in March, the sap beiug collected aud boiled down in the woods. Tbis was wholly a domestic operation, and one in which all the children rejoiced. ' , Rum was largely oonsnmed, but our distille- rie.s had scaeely begun. A half-pint of it was given, aa a matter of course, to an every day | laborer, more particularly in the summer , aeason. In all families, rich and poor, it was ! offered to male visitors as an essential to. | ho:>pitanty, or even good manners. Women —1 beg pardon—ladies, took their schnapps, then named "Hopkin's Elixir," which was the most delicious and seductive means of getting tipsy that has beeu invented. Crying infants were silenced with hot toddy, then esteemed an infallible remedy for wind on the stomach. Every man imbibed his morn¬ ing dram, and this was esteemed temperance. There ia a story of a preacher about those days, who thus lectured his parish: " I say nothing, luy belovwd brethren, against taking a little bitters before breakfast and after breakfast, Hspeoially if you are used to it.— What I contend against ia this dramming, dramming, dramming, at all hours of the aay. We raised our flux, rotted it. hackled it, dress¬ ed it, and spun it. Tiie little wheel, turned by the foot, had its place, and w&a as familiar aa if it had been one of the family. * * The wool was also spun in the family, hy my sisters, and partially by Holly Gregory, daughter of our neighbor, the town carpen¬ ter. I remember her well, as she sung and span, aloft in the attic. In these days chnrch singing was one ofthe fine arts—the only one) indeed, which flourished in Ridgefield, except the music of the drum and fife. The choir was divided into four parts, ranged on three sidea of the meeting house gallery. * Twice a year, that is^ in the spring and autumn, the tailor came to the houae and fabricated the semi-annual stock of clothes for the male members—this being called whipping the cat. Mantua-ma¬ kers and milliner.'i came in their tnrn, to fit out the female members of the family. There waa a similar process as to boots and shoes. ** At the period of my earliest recollection men of all classes were dressed in long, broad- tailed coats with hugh pockets, longwais- coats and breeches. Hats had low crowns, with broad rims—some ao wide as to be sup¬ ported at the sides with oords. The stock¬ ings of tho parson, and a few others, were of silk in summer and worsted in winter ; those of the people were generally of wool, and of bine and gray mixed- Women dressed in wide bonnets—sometimes of straw and some¬ times of silk; the gowns were of ailk, muslin^ gingham, &o.—-generally close and short waisted, the breast and shoulders being cov¬ ered by a fnll muslin kerchief. Girls orna¬ mented themeel^es with a large white van- dyke. * • Tavern haunting, especially in the winter, when there was little to do, was common, oven with respect¬ able farmers. Marriages were celebrated in the evening at the houae of the bride, with a general gathering of the neighborhood, and usually wound np by dancing. Everybody went as to a pnblic exhibition, without in¬ vitation. Funerals generally drew large pro¬ cessions, ¦ which proceeded to the'grave.— Here the minister always made an address suited to the occasion. If there was any¬ thing remarkable in tbe history of the de¬ ceased, it was tnraed to religious account in the next Sunday's sermon. Singing meet¬ ings, to practice church music, were a great resort for the yonng in winter- " • Balls at the tavern wero frequented by tho young; the children of deacons and ministers attended, though the parents did not. The winter bronght sleighing, skating and the usual round of in-door sports." ••«.«.> CtiRioos PnsisHMESTS.—It 3 discoverablo, from the "old records of Massachusetts," that tho following singular panishmenta were inflicted in that colony, between the yeara 1U30 and 1730: Sir Richard Salatonstall, fined four bushels of malt for his absence from the court. Josias Plastow shall, for stealing 4 baskets of Corn from thrj Indians, return them S baskets again, be fined .£5, and hereafter to be called .Iodia.s, not Mr. as he used to be. Joyce Dradwick ahall give unto Alexandria Becks 20s., for promising him marriage with out her friends oonsent, and now refusing to perform the same.

[Pttim tht GermMitowiiTiIeffriph.] An Old Farmer's Experience; Or, How to Make a Poor Farm Rich, without Much Money Expended—The Farma'ion of tht Dune Yard. The Barn Yard shonld be protected by baildings or sheds on tho north-west and north east sidBS to bt^ off thi* coldwindi and storma ; and feooed-with » good poat- and-rail fence, bnt not a wall, on the other two sides. The bottom shoald have a gtn- tle descent from the barn, lo that when the yard Is empty, ther« will be no cavities for the water to stand in. Thtre conld hard ly be a worse form devistd for a bun-yard than to make it hollow in th« middle, like a dish, and tight enough to hold water; thia hollow will aradually become filled with wa¬ ter, and the manure that ia pnt into it will lie there soaking and souring, till it ia carried dripping to the field- No fermentation takes plaoe under water, nor wonld the manure be much bsnefited by heaping It np, unless cart- •d away to Bome dry plaoe; even then tho fertilising properties of it wonld not be near ao great as if it had never heen soaked. Green Crops. It is of very great impor¬ tance in the improvement of land, to plow in green crops of aome kind. My experience is that a clover sod, together with all the grass and weeds that will grow on it, from the first of Jnly till the twentieth of Angnat, carefully turned under, is the best green dressing tor a crop of wheat. Other kinds, as orchard- grass, timothy, herd-grass, blue and green grasses, make a valnable god in the improve¬ ment of land, which, Wb«tt*plow»d under, is equal to a moderate coat of manure. When the land is sowed broadcast with any kind of grain, it should at the same time be sown with grass-seed, in order to produce & aod as often aa possible, to plow in; ag withont a i Uberal nae of grasa-sead, the progreaa of im- I provement will not be near as rapid. \ Farm Stock. Stock to a moderate extent ; is beneficial to a farm; but many landholders , have entertained a very incorrect idea on this ' subject, in believing that keeping a large ' stock will improve the land mnch faster than a small one; so it would, if kept in the yard or stable the year round, fumiahad with plenty of good food, and dry litter to lie on ; but an the farm does not produce a aafiloient qaantity, the balance must be bought, or the system mast be abundoned, whioh I ahould recommenced eveu before it ia began. Hors¬ es, if they have enough to eat, will do well if kept in the stable the year round; cottle not so well. My plan is to keep cows enough through the summer to supply the family with milk and butter, and keep as large a portion of the grass Hround for mowing as possible. After the first crop of hay and grain are taken off, there will hear soma in¬ creaae of atook ; bat this increase shoald not be such as to eat tbe pasture down close, and leave the ground nearly bare when winter comes on. When the pasture becomes short in the fall, put the cattle ia the yard; the cnwfl that give milk should be put iu warm stables at night, and have plenty of good food; the tiry oattle will do well in the yard, having sbeda to rnn under at nights and iu stormy weather, with plenty of rough hay and cornfodder, and good water in the yard for drink, whenever they want it. The next article will be ou Crops. First Mo7Uh:iO. IMS. A PRACTICAL FARMER. THE POTATO_CTrLTTOE. In most of the regions East, North, and Weat of us, potatoes are cultivated almoal nniversally in the hill, instead of the row, as it is done in E&stern Pennsylvania. Those who adopt this course, argue that while the yield may not be greater than when grown in the row, the culture is less tronblesome and more effective. A person, a farmer, for¬ merly residing in t&is neighborhood, who came from Michigan, and all his previous life planted his potato crop, in the hill, in¬ formed us that tbe row planting he thoaght was rather more prodactive, and required less labor and expense, both iu planting and harvestiog. In several of our agricultural exchanges, the potato culture has this winter occupied more than uanal; attention, in consequence of the partial failure of the crop last year, and wa should be pleased if some of our corre¬ spondents would look into the subject and let us have their views. The following we find in the Country Gentleman, from Mr. G. McMahon, of Miiford, Ct.:— "My plan has been for the last eight years, to change my seed as often as once in every two years, even if I plant the same sort. I have forthe last six years taken the trouble to send from 7o to 150 miles for my seed, and think that I have been paid for it in a tenfold proportion. The sorts that 1 have been most successful with are the Prince Albert or white Napoleon, the Irish lumpers and the Poach Blows. These three kinds never have showed any symptoms of the . blight in this seotion of the country, while many of my neighbors have kept their old sorts, and have lost all or nearly all, the past two seasons 1 planted iu May last, 240 rods of ground with white Napoleons, and gathered over three hundred and seventy-five bushels in October last, as nice potatoes as ever any man need look at. They are admired by all; they are very white and smoth; many of them measured from eight to ten and a half inches in length; tbe tops all remained in a perfect state of health until they were cut off by the froat. The tops of my Peach-blows do the aame. "My plan of cultivation is to take stalk ground or else plow it in the fall. I Roner- all^ select the smallest ones that I raise for myown use to plant—cut each potato, be it ever so small. I seldom ever use over four and a half or five bushels of seed to the acre. " Method of Cultieation. I generaUy ase about 20 loads of coarse straw manure to the acre—spread and plow in- -then plant my seed three by three and a half feet apart; when the plants begin to show themselves use a top dressing of hen manure, plaster of Paris, and leached ashes, mixed together, a full baud to the hill, which I have found to be a groat benefit to me." In the Ohio Cultivator, Mr. Robert Soavers, of Oskaloosa, Iowa, begs to be heard. He aays: "Permit me to add my experience in the cultivation of potatoes, as additional evidence in favor of the fact, that we are only just now, in the nineteenth century, beginning to learn Aoitf to cultivate potatoes. It seems a little strange, too, that the discovery of certain facts in relation to this matter, ap- pearii to have beeu made simultaneous in different and distant places. "Last spring I took one peck of Pea po¬ tatoes, and ont them into very small pieces, containing some two, but moat of them only one eye in each hill. I planted tbem in hills about 3^ feet apart each way, putting only one piece in each hill, and from that peck I dug and measured 26 bushels of good pota¬ toes, after throwing away some 4 or 5 bushels that wera affected with rot. The ground oc¬ cupied was a littlo over 8 square rods, and was cultivated tolerably well- " Your correspondent, W. C. Johnson, aays: " t am of the opinion that it ia a loss to plant 2 or 3 whole potatoes in a biU." I add, there irf not only a loss to potatoes planted, hut an actual damage is done to the coming crop, for I am convinoed that more and larger po¬ tatoes can be raised by planting one eye in each hill, than can be raised by putting 2 or 3 whole potatoes in a hiU. Tho more seed yoo put in a hill, the more small potatoes you will have in proportion to the number Largg Yield op Cobh.—One of oar aab- scribers, aaya the Country Gentleman, at St. Matthews, Ky,, writes ns aa follows :—" Our crops generally are good, as you donbtlesB know. The corn and potatoes were perhapa never so uniformly heavy—and in many in¬ dividual cases have rarely been equaled. A part of one of my fields waa measured accur¬ ately, and made at the rate of 124 bushels of ahelled yeUow com to the acre, three heaped half boahela of ears being reckoned a bushel." —[Three heaped half boshelfl of ears make here in Pennsylvania, only three-fonrtha of a bushel of shelled corn. Perhaps there ia leia cob down in Kentucky. Hera thia farme'rs crop would be 93 bushels instead of 124— about as mach, or within ten bushels of the quantity of shelled com ever raised on an aore^ notwlthgtanding the stories to the con¬ trary.—t£J.

WHAT HCfXGEH IS. In every living organism there is an inces¬ sant and reciprocal activity of waste and re¬ pair. The living fabric in the very actions which constitute its life, is momently yield¬ ing np ita particles to destruotion, like the coal which is barned iu the furnace: so much coal to so much heat, so much waste of tissue to 80 much vital activity. Yon cannot wink your eye, move your finger, or think & thought, but aome minute particle of vour substance must be sacrificed in doing so.— j Unless the coal whioh is bnrning be from | time to time replaced, the fire soon smould ers, and finally goes oat; anless the sab- ' stance ofyour body which ia wasting be from time to time famished with fresh food, life fiickers and at length becomes extinct.— Hunger is thf Instinct which teachea ua to replenish the empty furnace. Bnt thongh this is saying what we aU know, in another sense hunger is not so easi¬ ly explained. Want of food is a cotwc of iti bat does not constitute it. Food may be absent without any aensation, snch aa we express by the word Hanger, be¬ ing felt; as in the case of insane peoplo, who frequently sabjeet themselvea to prolonged abstinence from food withont any hungry cravings; and, in a lesser degree, it is fami¬ liar to us all how any violent emotion of grief or joy will completely destroy, not only tlie sense of Hunger, but our possibility of evh»n swaUowing the fond which an hour before waa cravingly desired. Further, it is known that the feeling of Hunger may be allayed by opium, tobacco, or even inorganic substance introduced into the stomach, although none of these can supply the deficiency of food. Many interesting instances are given of abstinence from food, both in man and in the lower orders of animals, when the writer passes to the consideration of such stories as we sometimes see, of marvelous periods pas¬ sed withont refreshment of any kind—and comes to the following conclusion as the only one which reason or science or experience oan indicate. uow LOXG IT TAKES TO STARVE. Prom these general cc nsiderations, which might be mnltipHed, I affirm that, unleas all Physiology is a delusion, tfae marvelous sto¬ ries of four years' fasting, and the like are impostures; and the affirmation la strength¬ ened by all the cases we know in which the motive and possibility of deception are «limi- nated. Thus when men have voluntarily starved themselves to death, they have never survived three months. Granie, who mur¬ dered bis wife, starved himself in the priaon of Toulouse, and expired on the sixty-third day, during which time he drank water, and occasionally ate a little. The religious en¬ thusiast, whom Dr. Willau refers to, lived only two montha, although he occasionally sucked an orange. They only survived thug long, becauae in abating from solid food, they did not also abstain from liquid. Life is con¬ siderably prolonged if liiiuid be taken. Redi found that birds kept without water as well as food, lived only nine day.s, those to whom he gave water lived twenty day^i. I cannot, however, agree with those physiologists who, like Bnrdach and Berard, attritute this sua- taining power of water to the organic parti¬ cles suspended in it; because such an amount must necessarily be quite inadequate to sup¬ ply the loss of an organism whose waste is rapid ; and we must remenber that an animal dies of Thirst o-en more rapidly than of Hunger; so that when water is withal, the death is hastened by the complication of two causes.' Now Janet M'Leod, and other per¬ sons said to have lived without food or drink, were under the pressure of these two causes, and sustained that pressure, we are told, four yeara! adopted Bttalved, that the keeper be directed ntrlclly to carry ont the ruleK in reference to tfae admisfiion of vlKitorri to the Pritiua on Satnrday, and alHo be directed tu place Dutice thereof Ja a comtplcnoau place at the front gAto.

A lyiug tongue hatetU ^h so that are afflicted hy it, and a flattering mouth work- eth ruin."
The wickedness and mischief here so pun- gently described, sprang very much from simply listening to scandal, aud then repeat¬ ing it. '*A wicked dnergiveth hv»M\ to fal.ce lips, and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue." Nest after thie extraordinary defi¬ nition of the wicked doer and a Har, one of the profoundest, pithjest, and most compre¬ hensive proverbial truths is this, '^^lAialying tongue hateth those that are affiicted by it.— Let a man set a lie agoing againat his neigh- bor, or let him take up such a lie and indorse it, and the more will the man committing thia injury, hate him that endures it. Let any person launch a calumny, or freight it when launched, and he will begin forthwith to hate the slandered man, especially if he knows the story to bo untrue and very inju¬ rious. In proportion as the mischief injures his neighbor, the slanderer will hate him.— Slander has thua pre-eminence over every other form of malice and wickedness; it kindles a deeper fire of depravity and ma¬ lignity in the soul of the liar. I And if his neighbor, thus cruelly slandered ! and wounded, takes up the calumny and per- aaes it, and endeavors to defend himself against it, the slanderer will begin to think himself injured by such pursuit, will resent the defense as a personal violence, and may perhaps accuse the slandered man of abuse and malice and bitterness, because he pro- BOanoefl the calumny a calumny, and seeks and produces the evidence to prov« it such. A man who before was perfectly friendly to another, many become his enemy, just sim- . ply by injuring him, may begin to hate him jnst because he had done him wrong. This is one of the dread mysteries of depravity in onr fallen nature, one of the proofs of a heart indeed set on fire of hell. And. the mischief that the slanderer thus inflicts upon his otvn character, as well as the misery he may call to the slandered man, is one of the reasons why God's wrath is made to bum with such inlensitj against this sin.
The code of law in the Old Testament, and of love iu the new, is marked in this respect. One of the greatest proofs of high civilization and purity in any country is the worth of re¬ putation, aud the care with whicb, by law I and religion, a man's oharacter ia protected | from assault. God put it in his decalogue, i Thou Shalt not bear falie witness against thy neighbor. And he added, "if a false witness rise up against any man, to testify against him that which is wrong, then both the men, between whom the controversy is, tball stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges which shall be in those days, and the judges shall make diligent inquisition ; and behold, if the witness be a false witnesa, and hath testified falsely against his brother, tben shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother; and those that remain shall hear and fear, and shall hence- forth commit no more any such evil among you."
Hearsay could never he alleged in excuse for propagating or hearing witness to calumny. Neither was one witnesa alone sufficient, mnch less a pretended witness who had only caught up the reverberation of the other's report.— It was set down hy divine inspiration is one mark of a truely upright and good man, that be not on\J backbileth nol with his tongaenor doeth evil to his neighbor, bnt taketh not up a reproach against his neighbor. He r»?eeivfith it not, he doth not indorse it, nor brins it into his habitation as a guest. He will not stoop to take it up, if he meet it in tha street; he will not be guilty of taking it up, in the sense of spreading it, reporting it, as a hear¬ say whioh he .believes.
And if he sets his hand
in writing, or in print, along with others, to a reproach thhs wickedly taken up, it ia an unrighteoua wit¬ ness, much more deliberately, and therefore much more sinfully, with much greater guilt, both in the sight of God and man, than I if hfi had merely given to tbe calumny a cir-, culation with the tongue.
No language can tell the misery that my be inflicted on an innocent and harmless victim in either way. How many households have been filled with misery aud mourning all through life; how many hearts crushed with irremediable rnin and anguish; how many fair prospects blighted, and hopes of useful¬ ness and happiness daitroyed. And the author and reporter of the calumny is him¬ self the assassin of tl^e character, and the robber and the murderer of the slandered' Tiotim of his wickedness. Every pain the slandered man has to bear, every sharp pang that enters into his soul, the slanderer gives the atab. Every pecuniary loss that ensues, the slanderer is the highway robber; and as death ifl sometimea the result of a, calumny, the slanderer in that case ia the murderer. ¦li^.a^*.—
His Febt Slipped Beneath Him.—A new sensation novel has the following capital cUm&x. It is good:
Am I really dear to you, Sophia? I whis¬ pered, and P'^"* niy burning lips to her rosy month. She did not say yea ; she did not say no; but she returned my kiss ; my soul w*s no longer In the body; I touched ¦ the Btara; I knew the happiness of the scrap- him; mna the earth went firom nnder my feet!
al aotioD. Iu thia way moro strength is ex¬ pended foolishly than would have aufficed to have rectified the wrong, and, perchance, t« have turned the evil into good. 0, the dis¬ advantages of peevishness!. Its possHssors are the most commi!^erable of all miserable wretches,
Pretfulness invariably aggravates every existiug evil. As inevitably as the needle points to the pole, and as surely aa the poi¬ soned fountain gives forth bitter waters, fretting can not possibly produce anything but evil. Frequently it converts one trivial difficulty into two serious ones ; The spirit of fretfulness in this way becomes the pes¬ tilent seed whose growtli and nurture up¬ root and destroy the faire.-it flowers that bloom in the garden ofKdeu.
Persons say they are peevish because they are sick ; they aro fretful because they are bothered ; they are ill-natured because the weather is ungenial; they scold, and gib. ber, and rant because they are troubled, or beoaase somebody has abused them; they are angry because some one else is so. Fatal mistake !
Shall we injure ourselves because others try to injure us ? This is too silly a notion for intelligent bpings to entertain a moment. Shall we act madly because some one else has acted foolishly ? This is the very ex¬ pression of the apirit of beastlineis—evil for evil. It is good alone that overcomes evil, Alas! those who live a life of peevlshneas who fret and scold on all the trivial occasions of losses and crosses, little know what bodily ' injury and mental degradation are among the fearful penalties which they incur and suffer. They scarcely dream of the depth of that unfathomable pit, adown which the whole moral nature sinks among the hells of a dis¬ ordered and perverted mind. Little do they understand of the immense difl'erence, in the final result of a life's experience, between applying all of their mental powers on all occasions to the best of purposes, or misap¬ plying, wasting, and debasing them.—Life Illustrated.

School GovEESMEXT.—We would praise a school as Pope did a government, "That which is best administered is best." Yet, in the whole range of human duties we think there are none more arduous and difficul than the right discipline and government of a Com¬ mon School. Dr. South, the English Sermoni- zer, said, " Kvery child has some brute in it, and some man in it, and just in proportion to tbe brute we must whip, it." But Dr. Bull, the distinguished Educator, once re- ^ marked tbat, ^*A maximum of attainment could be made onl7by a minimum of punish-' ment." Yet, we believe that corporal punish¬ ment is necessary sometimes. " Itis true, we abhor this government, but we obhor,' saya the Boston Common School Journal, "the halter and the State pri.soa more; and, in tbe present state of society, it is our belief that* ifthe'first be not sometimes used, the last mnst be. And it is pusillanimity, as well as folly, to shrink from the crushing of the egg but to wait composedly for the bathing of the viper."
When punishment are inflicted, they shonld answer their end. They shonld not be in - flicted in that spirit which debases and bruti fies both scholar and master. Teachers there are, who thoughtlessly and unfeelingly pinch the and pn 1 the hair of their pupils, and beat them about the head with books and ferules ; such ahould be swine-drivers, and fined soundly for their want of humanity.
Locke on the Human Understanding has, in tho following quotation, exhausted this whole matter:
'• I have seen parents so, heap rules on their children, that it was impossible for the poor little ones to remember a tenth part of them, much less to observe them. However, they were either by words or blows corrected for tbe breach of those multiplied and often vt:rj impertinent precepts. Whence it natu- ally followed, that the children minded not what was said to them; when it was evident to them, that no attention they were capable of was sufficieftt to preserve tbem from trans¬ gression, and tho rebukes which followed it. 'Let, therefore, your rnles to your son be as few as possible, and rather fewer than may seem absolutely necessary. For if you bur¬ den him with many rules, one of these two things must necessarily follow, that either he must be very often punished, whicb will be of ill consequence.hy making punishment too frequent and familiar; or else you mnst let the transgression of aome of your rules go unpunished, whereby they willof conrsefgrow contemptible, and your authority grow cheap to him. Make but {qw laws, but ^ee they will be well observed, when once made.— Few years require but few laws ; and as his age increases,'when one rule is by practice well established, yon may add another.
*' But pray remember, children are not to be tanght by mles, which will be always slip¬ ping ont of their memorisg. What you think necessary for them to do, settle in them by an indispensible practice, as often aa the occasion returns; and, if it be possible, make occasions: 1. The one is, that yott keep them in tha practice of what yoa wonld have grow into a habit in them, by kind words and gentle admonitions, rather as reminding them of what they forget, than by harsh re¬ bukes and chiding, as if they were wofnlly gnilty. 2. Another thing yoa are to take care of ia not to endeavor to settle too many habits at once, leat by a variety you confound them, and so perfect none. When constant cnatom has made any one thing easy and natural to them, and they practice it without reflection you may then go onto another.— OrviUe Taylor.
when we tell a ohild the meaning of every word, or answer every question asked iu a direct manner, we encourage him to depend upon onr, instead of his own, powers of un¬ derstanding, thereby defeating the very object of education, ,which is to build up and de¬ velop the powera of the mind; we have heen met with the answer, " That's what you're here for, to tell them what they don't know; and if you won't teach onr children what they want to know, there is no use In you're being here; you mnst go; we can get some¬ body else in your place."
We do not wish to be understood to say that children's questions should not be an¬ swered. On the other hand, we have always contended that children shonld be encoura¬ ged to ask qnestions about things they do not understand. All children are naturally inquisitive, and as soon as they cau talk, ask many questions which puzzle older hea'ls to give a correct answer; aud it is much easier for the same parent that finds fault with the teacher for answering questions in an indirect manner, to answer his own children by "Go'longand don't bother me with soch foolish questions," than to give the little prat¬ tlers the desired information.
Many a bright child ripens into a dull mo¬ notonous man from uot having his questions about 'little things' answered, when just be- gintng to think and form ideas for himself; and many an other one becomes a mere re¬ pository of book knowledge, withoat an idea of his own, or the power to appropriate the thoughts of otber men to any practical use^ from the fact of having his thinking done for him when at school, aud his mind stuffed with what he has never studied and does not need to take tho trouble to understand, when he has a teacher always ready to remove every difficulty he meets with in climbing the Hill of Science.
A teacher cannot learn for tho pupil, any more than he can eat for him. Yet the teachers that I have met with, excepting a very few, seem to think that they can make acquirements for the child. As this cannot be done, teachers often labor with pupils to little purpose.
Tbe office nf a teach«r is not to teach, bnt to assist the child in its efforts to teach itaelf. Self-education is the best education, aud the teacher should so prepare and assist the youthful mind, that it will desire and be able to educate itself.
For example, when a pupil asks a qnestion, the teacher, instead of answering it at length, should ask such other que-^ions, that the child will be able to answer its own question. In this way the pupil may make that which he already knows, assi-st him in acquiring what is unknown.
When a child is reading, and meets with a long word it cannot call, the teacher should not, as is the goneral practice, pronounce the word for the child, but he should make the ohild spell and pronounce the syllables of the word, and by this means, let the child master the word for itaelf.
Dnring recitations, the teacher should not repeat halt the lesson for the child, but leave the pupil to depend upon his own powers to carry the lesson through.
We learn too much for the people. And as legislators should encourage the people to act, but leave this action Ime; so teachers shonld excite their pupils to effort, but leave that effort to instruct.
How TO LB.vDMo.VBr.—Ab to a pure husinesB transaction, you may not be too careful.— Bat when a friend of other years comes along, who has not been as successful as yourself, whom disappointment or miiplaced confi¬ dence, or unavoidable calamity has pressed to the earth, a friend who was once yonr equal iu all things, inferior in none, except, per¬ haps, in that hardness of character, which-ii a general element of auccess in life, don't begin to hem and haw, and stroke your chin; don't talk about "buts^^ and '* whys" and the tightness of the money market; ha knows that already—spare him the intelligence that you lent Mr. So and So a sum of money, which was never returned ; he don't want yoar biography, he wanta your cash, Don't tell him that if he were to die yon would loi* it; that arrow may sink deeper into his heart than anyamountofmoney could over fathom, and then close with a recital of this, that, and the other thing, which, if really true, could not interfere materially with your furnishing him tbe required amount. If you have or¬ dinary sagacity, you can make up your mind in a moment, whether to grant the accomoda¬ tion or refuse iU If you are a man, and you design a refusal, tell him at once in some kindly way, that you do not foel prepared to accede to his wishes. If, on the other hand, you have a heart to help him, do not do it as if you felt it were a mountain grinding you to powder, or as if each dollar you parted with was inflioting a pain equal to the draw¬ ing of a tooth; don't torture him with cross- queatioiiing, nor worm out of him some of the most sacred secrets of his life; away with your inquisitorial and brassy impertinence ; don't lay him on the rack for an hour at a time, as if you gloated at the sacrifice of his manhno -, aa if you wished to make him go down on his very knees to win his way into your purse; away with it all we say, and stand np like a mau ; give him a cordial greet¬ ing, let aholy sunshine light up yonr counte¬ nance, and apeak out before he has done asking; tell him how much you are gratified at having it in your power to help him, and let that help go out in full, free soul, and witb a good slap on the shoulder, bid him look forward and ahead, for there's sunshine there for him. Why the very feeling in the man's heart as he goes away from you, is worth more to humanity than all the money yon let him have, ten times told. He goes out ofyour presence with a heart as light as a feather, in love with all the world, and full of gratitude towards yon. He goes to work with a will, which hews down the obstacles and melts away the icebergs which hedge np the ways of men, and behold, in a moment, rough places are made smooth, and straight places made plain to him.
Reader! suppose you ntverget yoor money back, and you have a heart so big, that you can, notwithstanding his non-payment, give him at every meeting a cordial smile of re¬ cognition, can speak to him without even reminding him of hia indebtedneas; it maybe that you are his only friend, but then you are the world to hira, and however hardly that world may have dealt with him, your single exception is placed on the credit aide of humanity, a thousand times its individual value; that man can neverdie s misanthrope for he will insist upon it to hia latest breath, "there is kindneaa in the world, after all."— What a grand thing it is to have a mau dose his eyes in death, and one of the last thoughts of mortality be a prayer for blessings on your head.
We repeat, then, if you lend your money at all, do BO freely, promptly—do it with a wbole sonl. Do it with a grace that becomes a man, with a cordiality whioh wiil do quite a0 mnoh u your money fn raising yonr frknd
-Kngland: "Money was scarce, wages being about fifty cents a day, thongh these were generally paid in meat, vegetables and other articles of nse —seldom in money. There was not a factory of any kind in the place. There was abutoh- er, but he only went from house to house to alanghter the cattle and swine of hts neigh¬ bors ; there was a tanner, but he only dressed other people's skins; there was a clothier but he generally fulled and dressed other people's cloth. • • • •
Even dyeing blue a portion of the wool, ao as to make linsey-woolsey for short gowns, aprons, and blue-mixed stockings—vital ne- ceasitiea in those daya—was a domestic ope¬ ration. During the autnmn, a dye tub in the chimney comer—thus placed so as to be cherished by tfae genial heat—was as fami¬ liar in all thrifty bouses as the Bible or tbe back-log. It was covered with a board, aod a cosy seat in the wide mouthed fire-place, especially of a chill evening. • Our ,
bread was of rye, tinged with Indian meal.— Wheat bread was received for the sacrament I and company. • ' All the \
vegetables came from our garden and farm. | The fuel was supplied by our own woods— sweet scented hickory, snapping chestnut, odoriferous oak and rocking, fizzling ash. ' Sugar wrts partially supplied by oar maple trees. These were tapped in March, the sap beiug collected aud boiled down in the woods. Tbis was wholly a domestic operation, and one in which all the children rejoiced. ' ,
Rum was largely oonsnmed, but our distille- rie.s had scaeely begun. A half-pint of it was given, aa a matter of course, to an every day | laborer, more particularly in the summer , aeason. In all families, rich and poor, it was ! offered to male visitors as an essential to. | ho:>pitanty, or even good manners. Women —1 beg pardon—ladies, took their schnapps, then named "Hopkin's Elixir," which was the most delicious and seductive means of getting tipsy that has beeu invented. Crying infants were silenced with hot toddy, then esteemed an infallible remedy for wind on the stomach. Every man imbibed his morn¬ ing dram, and this was esteemed temperance. There ia a story of a preacher about those days, who thus lectured his parish: " I say nothing, luy belovwd brethren, against taking a little bitters before breakfast and after breakfast, Hspeoially if you are used to it.— What I contend against ia this dramming, dramming, dramming, at all hours of the
aay.
We raised our flux, rotted it. hackled it, dress¬ ed it, and spun it. Tiie little wheel, turned by the foot, had its place, and w&a as familiar aa if it had been one of the family. * * The wool was also spun in the family, hy my sisters, and partially by Holly Gregory, daughter of our neighbor, the town carpen¬ ter. I remember her well, as she sung and span, aloft in the attic. In these days chnrch singing was one ofthe fine arts—the only one) indeed, which flourished in Ridgefield, except the music of the drum and fife. The choir was divided into four parts, ranged on three sidea of the meeting house gallery. *
Twice a year, that is^ in the spring and autumn, the tailor came to the houae and fabricated the semi-annual stock of clothes for the male members—this being called whipping the cat. Mantua-ma¬ kers and milliner.'i came in their tnrn, to fit out the female members of the family. There waa a similar process as to boots and shoes.
** At the period of my earliest recollection men of all classes were dressed in long, broad- tailed coats with hugh pockets, longwais- coats and breeches. Hats had low crowns, with broad rims—some ao wide as to be sup¬ ported at the sides with oords. The stock¬ ings of tho parson, and a few others, were of silk in summer and worsted in winter ; those of the people were generally of wool, and of bine and gray mixed- Women dressed in wide bonnets—sometimes of straw and some¬ times of silk; the gowns were of ailk, muslin^ gingham, &o.—-generally close and short waisted, the breast and shoulders being cov¬ ered by a fnll muslin kerchief. Girls orna¬ mented themeel^es with a large white van- dyke. * • Tavern haunting, especially in the winter, when there was little to do, was common, oven with respect¬ able farmers. Marriages were celebrated in the evening at the houae of the bride, with a general gathering of the neighborhood, and usually wound np by dancing. Everybody went as to a pnblic exhibition, without in¬ vitation. Funerals generally drew large pro¬ cessions, ¦ which proceeded to the'grave.— Here the minister always made an address suited to the occasion. If there was any¬ thing remarkable in tbe history of the de¬ ceased, it was tnraed to religious account in the next Sunday's sermon. Singing meet¬ ings, to practice church music, were a great resort for the yonng in winter- " • Balls at the tavern wero frequented by tho young; the children of deacons and ministers attended, though the parents did not. The winter bronght sleighing, skating and the usual round of in-door sports."

An Old Farmer's Experience;
Or, How to Make a Poor Farm Rich, without
Much Money Expended—The Farma'ion
of tht Dune Yard.
The Barn Yard shonld be protected by baildings or sheds on tho north-west and north east sidBS to bt^ off thi* coldwindi and storma ; and feooed-with » good poat- and-rail fence, bnt not a wall, on the other two sides. The bottom shoald have a gtn- tle descent from the barn, lo that when the yard Is empty, ther« will be no cavities for the water to stand in. Thtre conld hard ly be a worse form devistd for a bun-yard than to make it hollow in th« middle, like a dish, and tight enough to hold water; thia hollow will aradually become filled with wa¬ ter, and the manure that ia pnt into it will lie there soaking and souring, till it ia carried dripping to the field- No fermentation takes plaoe under water, nor wonld the manure be much bsnefited by heaping It np, unless cart- •d away to Bome dry plaoe; even then tho fertilising properties of it wonld not be near ao great as if it had never heen soaked.
Green Crops. It is of very great impor¬ tance in the improvement of land, to plow in green crops of aome kind. My experience is that a clover sod, together with all the grass and weeds that will grow on it, from the first of Jnly till the twentieth of Angnat, carefully turned under, is the best green dressing tor a crop of wheat. Other kinds, as orchard- grass, timothy, herd-grass, blue and green grasses, make a valnable god in the improve¬ ment of land, which, Wb«tt*plow»d under, is equal to a moderate coat of manure. When the land is sowed broadcast with any kind of grain, it should at the same time be sown with grass-seed, in order to produce & aod as often aa possible, to plow in; ag withont a i Uberal nae of grasa-sead, the progreaa of im- I provement will not be near as rapid. \
Farm Stock. Stock to a moderate extent ; is beneficial to a farm; but many landholders , have entertained a very incorrect idea on this ' subject, in believing that keeping a large ' stock will improve the land mnch faster than a small one; so it would, if kept in the yard or stable the year round, fumiahad with plenty of good food, and dry litter to lie on ; but an the farm does not produce a aafiloient qaantity, the balance must be bought, or the system mast be abundoned, whioh I ahould recommenced eveu before it ia began. Hors¬ es, if they have enough to eat, will do well if kept in the stable the year round; cottle not so well. My plan is to keep cows enough through the summer to supply the family with milk and butter, and keep as large a portion of the grass Hround for mowing as possible. After the first crop of hay and grain are taken off, there will hear soma in¬ creaae of atook ; bat this increase shoald not be such as to eat tbe pasture down close, and leave the ground nearly bare when winter comes on. When the pasture becomes short in the fall, put the cattle ia the yard; the cnwfl that give milk should be put iu warm stables at night, and have plenty of good food; the tiry oattle will do well in the yard, having sbeda to rnn under at nights and iu stormy weather, with plenty of rough hay and cornfodder, and good water in the yard for drink, whenever they want it. The next article will be ou Crops.
First Mo7Uh:iO. IMS. A PRACTICAL FARMER.
THE POTATO_CTrLTTOE.
In most of the regions East, North, and Weat of us, potatoes are cultivated almoal nniversally in the hill, instead of the row, as it is done in E&stern Pennsylvania. Those who adopt this course, argue that while the yield may not be greater than when grown in the row, the culture is less tronblesome and more effective. A person, a farmer, for¬ merly residing in t&is neighborhood, who came from Michigan, and all his previous life planted his potato crop, in the hill, in¬ formed us that tbe row planting he thoaght was rather more prodactive, and required less labor and expense, both iu planting and harvestiog.
In several of our agricultural exchanges, the potato culture has this winter occupied more than uanal; attention, in consequence of the partial failure of the crop last year, and wa should be pleased if some of our corre¬ spondents would look into the subject and let us have their views. The following we find in the Country Gentleman, from Mr. G. McMahon, of Miiford, Ct.:—
"My plan has been for the last eight years, to change my seed as often as once in every two years, even if I plant the same sort. I have forthe last six years taken the trouble to send from 7o to 150 miles for my seed, and think that I have been paid for it in a tenfold proportion. The sorts that 1 have been most successful with are the Prince Albert or white Napoleon, the Irish lumpers and the Poach Blows. These three kinds never have showed any symptoms of the . blight in this seotion of the country, while many of my neighbors have kept their old sorts, and have lost all or nearly all, the past two seasons
1 planted iu May last, 240 rods of ground with white Napoleons, and gathered over three hundred and seventy-five bushels in October last, as nice potatoes as ever any man need look at. They are admired by all; they are very white and smoth; many of them measured from eight to ten and a half inches in length; tbe tops all remained in a perfect state of health until they were cut off by the froat. The tops of my Peach-blows do the aame.
"My plan of cultivation is to take stalk ground or else plow it in the fall. I Roner- all^ select the smallest ones that I raise for myown use to plant—cut each potato, be it ever so small. I seldom ever use over four and a half or five bushels of seed to the acre.
" Method of Cultieation. I generaUy ase about 20 loads of coarse straw manure to the acre—spread and plow in- -then plant my seed three by three and a half feet apart; when the plants begin to show themselves use a top dressing of hen manure, plaster of Paris, and leached ashes, mixed together, a full baud to the hill, which I have found to be a groat benefit to me."
In the Ohio Cultivator, Mr. Robert Soavers, of Oskaloosa, Iowa, begs to be heard. He aays:
"Permit me to add my experience in the cultivation of potatoes, as additional evidence in favor of the fact, that we are only just now, in the nineteenth century, beginning to learn Aoitf to cultivate potatoes. It seems a little strange, too, that the discovery of certain facts in relation to this matter, ap- pearii to have beeu made simultaneous in different and distant places.
"Last spring I took one peck of Pea po¬ tatoes, and ont them into very small pieces, containing some two, but moat of them only one eye in each hill. I planted tbem in hills about 3^ feet apart each way, putting only one piece in each hill, and from that peck I dug and measured 26 bushels of good pota¬ toes, after throwing away some 4 or 5 bushels that wera affected with rot. The ground oc¬ cupied was a littlo over 8 square rods, and was cultivated tolerably well-
" Your correspondent, W. C. Johnson, aays: " t am of the opinion that it ia a loss to plant
2 or 3 whole potatoes in a biU." I add, there irf not only a loss to potatoes planted, hut an actual damage is done to the coming crop, for I am convinoed that more and larger po¬ tatoes can be raised by planting one eye in each hill, than can be raised by putting 2 or
3 whole potatoes in a hiU. Tho more seed yoo put in a hill, the more small potatoes you will have in proportion to the number
Largg Yield op Cobh.—One of oar aab- scribers, aaya the Country Gentleman, at St. Matthews, Ky,, writes ns aa follows :—" Our crops generally are good, as you donbtlesB know. The corn and potatoes were perhapa never so uniformly heavy—and in many in¬ dividual cases have rarely been equaled. A part of one of my fields waa measured accur¬ ately, and made at the rate of 124 bushels of ahelled yeUow com to the acre, three heaped half boahela of ears being reckoned a bushel." —[Three heaped half boshelfl of ears make here in Pennsylvania, only three-fonrtha of a bushel of shelled corn. Perhaps there ia leia cob down in Kentucky. Hera thia farme'rs crop would be 93 bushels instead of 124— about as mach, or within ten bushels of the quantity of shelled com ever raised on an aore^ notwlthgtanding the stories to the con¬ trary.—t£J.
