Potatoes are raised for the table, and the yield is quite as generous as in the Eastern States, but we did not see any large fields of car rots, parsnips, beets, mangels, or turnips. Perhaps the climate is not so favorable, but ■we could not learn that experiments had been tried to test the matter. We think some of the roots would b‘4 found to succeed very well, and that' theywo.uld be found to be a very profitable addition to the stores for the winter feeding of cattle. We suspect room will yet be fbuhd in the model barn of this region for a root cellar, and that carrots will become a part of the daily rations of the horse. The Breeding of JTgrses is a common bran.ch ofbusiness upon the grain farmland gener ally pays woll. They are not of any dis tinct breed, but are larger than those raised at the East. There is a great demand in the sea-board cities for a large horse, weigh ing from twelve to fifteen hundred pounds, for truck snd heavy, yfjigpns, which Penn sylvania, mqre than any other State, sup plies. Almost all ; the #6A‘h’pOn‘the farm is done by horse-power, and this requires a large force, whibhy on the Eastern farm, is supplied by oxen. : ij;he young horses are kept until of suitable ago jfor service, and then sold for from twp to r fiye hqndr.ed dol lars each. Strength and'aike are qualities Bought more than beauty and! speed. The horses for exportation lares-a large item in the wealth of the State, v • , , Farming by Proxyjs much more common than at the East. The islnd-owner, instead of renting his farm fbrii Stipulated price, or upon shares, hires a'foreman or farmer to oversee and board the laborers. He is not a resident upon the farm,, but visits it as often as suits his convenience, and gives to the forematf such directions as he chooses. The compensation of the foreman varies ac cording to circumstances. We found, one who receivod 360 dollars a year, house rent, fuel, and the use of two cows. He agreed to board laborers at three dollars a week, and the laborers* worked for 16 dollars' a a month (wet and dry) dnd : bohrd. Another on a somewhat larger iarm received 700 dollars a year with house rent, fuel, and other privileges,. Ho lapardpd the laborers at a stipulated price, made all thepurehases, and sold all the’ products of thefarm and kept the accounts. Land-owntifs wbo pursue this course, are generally taen>ofibusiness in the neighboring villagos or; cities, who see thefarm frequently, and keep close watch of the management. They have a farm ac count, and know the profit and loss of the 1 ' business. We found one gentleman who farmed in this way, making from 7 to 8 per cent, on his capital, and he could show the figures. He spent money freely and got it back again. r One of the gfieat nuisances in the How England States and in the dairy regions ge nerally, is the small size of the cultivated fields. One, two, and three, acre, lots are common, and ten acre lots and upward, are ! rare. In many cases the cosh of fencing has been much the oost of the land, and the keeping up of these fences is a large tax upon the farmer, and the principal labor of repairs comes in the spring, vyhen he is most busy. The fences are always in the' way of plowing and cultivation, ahd of no ! particular advantage in pasturage, the chief argument for them. We see no* reason for any more divisions in the arable part of the, farm than there are crops in the rotation, The permanent pasture and woodlands might come under a different rule. In the grain districts Recently visited, we were struck with the large size of the fields, even on two and three hundred acre farms. Fields of twenty, thirty, aud even fifty acres, are not uncommon. This feature adds beau ty to the landscape, as well as facilitates the cultivation. We are coming more and more into the use of machines and horse-power in the cultivation and harvesting ,of our crops, and this only makes the fences a more in tolerable nuisance. We want a clean sweep for the grain drills; the cultivators, the mowers and reapers, the tedders, and rakes, that are ready to relieve aching liuman, mus cles. The kindest thing that could happen to the average dairy farih, would be to‘ have three-fourths of its fences quietly sink out of sight. Fortunately, most of these farms noed draining, and the stones are needed to help carry off the superfluous water.', THE DOG PLAGUE. George Snyder, Bhinebeck, N. Y., writes us bitter complaints against the “ dog plague.” He has. had his flocks four times: destroyed by worthless curs; he ha? received “little pay” for them; the dog tax is not “ collected in many cases” in his {Duchess) county ; that it ought'to be raised to three or five dollars per head; there are many thousand:acres in the country that would be worth twice as much, for sheep as for. plowing, were it not for this intolerable nui sance; if a hog is shot when “ sedn among the sheep,” he must be paid for, as “ he has three times he tried to‘bring up this matter, up in.the;State Agricultural So ciety meeting last winter, “but the time was all occupiedin appointing men to go to Eng land to find cures for the cattle plague, which has not made its appearance among us, while the dog plague, has raged fifty years.” u; m ■ We think the last point; pretty well taken. The dog tax, is not properly enforced, or uot enforced at all, in many counties. The same laxity prevails in some other States which pretend to have laws on the subject: Why should . not this .subject receive the earnest attention, of all our State Agricul tural Societies and Wool-growers’ Associa tions? > THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1867. The most astounding statistics have been published, in various States, of the enormous annual destruction of sheep bv dogs. The value of the property sacrificed would have more than furnished adequate sanitary sup plies for all our armies during the rebellion. I t would support the eleemosynary institu for the blind, the deaf and dumb, and the insane, in the extensive wool-growingStatcs. It would form a magnificent pension fund for our disabled soldiers.’ In many counties it would not unfrequently nearly pay the poor rates. “Dog laws,” forsooth, are laughed out of our legislatures They furnish excellent sport for the witty members—fast men, young lawyers, sleek merchants, city fops and demagogues who seek votes from the slums and dens where men, and dogs, and fleas, and other insects un mention able, cud dle lovingly together. The Hon. Mr. Shiney boots of the city of New York rememberß his fifty spPrting constituents with five fan cy dogs apiece, andthe two or three hundred roughs with a couple of fighting,dogs apiece. Should he vote to protect.a, great Rational industry by cur-tailing the curs, the sports men would' taboo him as fiOt ar “ gOod’ fell ah,” and the roughs stpitch into’Uhiih at the next ward meeting as, a “moral reformer I ” The Hon. Mr. Dirtyboots from the country, has, in like manner, his fast ..and dirty con stituents to keep in with. j\.hd, unfortu nately, some soldier and better men, who have an itching to’ hold still higher' .of fices, are.loath to damage their standing with Shineyboots aud Dirtybopts, whose votes would count one each in a State nomi nating convention, —or. Say,' in the election of a United States Senator ! 1 ! The farmers 1 are a:>patient They vote for their principles (ortieir par ty) irrespective of private griefs, If, half a dozen of them, in almost any election' dis trict, would go personally t6' a candidate for a legislative nomination on their own side, and ask him, “Will you if nominated and. elected, vote for a reasonable law t,9 abate the dog nuisance?—if not, we and our farm ing friends will combine to defeat you,’’— they would find him limber in the knees and stiff in his pledges; and, having made the latter, there would be a considerable chance of his keeping them. Out side questions should rarely do permitted to affect import ant political issues; but where‘two Candi dates in the nominating convention a¥e’equal ly'Sound on these,-may we not legitimately ly give preference to the one who is also sound on the qutside question.? We ‘would at least like to have legislative 1 trimmers' understand that the water is as deep on one side of the bridge as the other- —that in' sa crificing or neglecting ah important and honest branch of 1 industry, they will lose quite as much as they will in giving offence to fancy men, and fast men and roughs.— fflupql New Yorker. , DON’T KILL THE MOLES. A correspondent of the Daylon Daily Journal communicates to that paper the fol lowing, which should be decisive on the question, of mole-killing: Some time since I had the honor of ad dressing you a note on the “Mole,” which you had the kindness to publish in your journal, and which has been very extensive ly copied. In many: instances • the article served as a text for persons who, perhaps, never saw a mole, to record their profound ignorance of natural history in the shape of comments. The “ utility of moles,” and the fact that wheat will not turn to “cheat,” are two very much discussed subjects, which a few tho rough experiments would settle for those who would doubt the facts of'truths of na tural history for the mole, and botany for the “cheat.” I may, therefore, pro bono pub lico, ask you to publish the following: UTILITY. OF MOLES. “An interesting experiment, which shows the service rendered to agriculturalists by moles, and the impolicity of destroying these little quadrupeds, has been made. In a com mune 1 of a canton of Zurich, in Switzerland, the municipal council were about to pro ceed to the election of a mole-catcher, when Mr. Webber, a distinguished naturalist, laid before the Board the following facts : “Mr. Webber had carefully examined the stomachs of fifteen moles, caught in differ ent localities, but failed to discover therein the slightest vestige of plants or roots; whereas they were filled by the remains of asearis or earth-worms. “ Mr. Webber, not satisfied by this fact, shut up several moles in a box containing soda of earth, on which grass was growing, and a smaller case ot grub and earth-worms.' In,nine days two moles devoured three hun dred.and ninety-three earth-worms, twenty - five catepillars, and a mouse, skin and bones, which had been inclpsed while alive in the box. “Mr. Webber next gave them raw meat, cut it up in, small pieces, mixed with vege tables; the moles ate the mqat and. left the plants.. He next gave them nothing but vegetables; in twenty-four hours two moles died of,starvation. Another, naturalist'cal culated that two moles destroy twenty thou sand white worms in a single year.. Evi dently, farmers ought to endeavor to multi ply moles rather than kill 'them”’ , creeping Things. A writer in the Moravian thus Actively dis courses about' insects; All in&eots have six legs, unless they have met with accidents such as you have often seen when you have caught a grasshopper to see him “ make molasses.” After a few struggles away he goes, leaving a quivering leg in your fingers, and for the rest of his short life he hobbles about like one of our poor.crippled soldier .laddies; for insects do not grow new legs like lobsters, and I am very much afraid that he does,not find any kind Sanitary .Commission to bind up bis wounds and give him a fresh start iri life with a Palmer b-g. They do not breathe through their mouths, but by means of a great numlvr of little pipes which run through them lengthwise, like the gas pipes under the streets, having openings here and there on the side of the where the fresh air is drawn in. These littfS Openings are very curiously contrived, —in ’Some cases being protected by tiny trap-doors opening on hinges, in others hav ing a strong grating over them of coarse hairs. You will Bee from this that it is. worse than useless to snap an offending ,in> sect in two with a pair of sharp-scissors ; for as he does not use his mouth for breath ing purposes, and as bis brain is not confin- 1 ed to his head but runs all through his body, he will live for many hours in this mutilated state. In fact, some insects never eat a mouthful after they are full grown; so that if you cut off their heads you only bother them, because they cannot see where to lay their eggs. ' ’ ' A MATHEMATICAL. REFUTATION OF huge’s ARGUMENT AGAINSTr-MIRACLES. - Detbqit, August Bth, 1867. , To the Editor of the American Presbj-: TERIAN;: Rev. and MaSr. Sir':—l ’forward'to you, for the 1 columns of *youf valuable p&p'er,’ an article that may interest-a portion bf yohr readers, and is worthy of preservation and presentation 'id the public,, as well, for the merited fame of its loyal and excellent au thor, as for.its intrinsic worth. In conversing with Gem Silas Casey—then a member of •the church I serve,,,and no,'w , transferred ,to the station at Omaha, —the subject of the claims of Scriptural testimony on, our confi dence occurring, ..he: asked if I had ever seen Hume’s objectiop refuted by mathematical evidence. ' Replying.in the negative, soon after'he transmitted the following, which all acquainted*with th’e science'of probabilities, and algebraic and’ logarithmic formulas,’ will rebdily understafid’ arid appreciate. 'The co iucideWce of the cdhclusion, with the selectee number of the apostles, or the public official witnesses of’the Saviour’s resurrection, will, not fail Ito .arrest the of the t ioughtful, and afford a rebuke .to fhe igno rance of “many impudent styptics. \ Yours, &c., ‘ Gen. Casey’s mathematical refutation of Hume’s objection against the" credibility of a miracle is as follows: No argument against the truth Of miracles exacted greater attention in its day, nor‘pro duced more attempts to refute it, than the celebrated aphorism of Hume, viz: , “No testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless tue testimony be of such a kind that its, falsehood would be more mi raculous than the fact which it endeavors to establish.” Following the method of Babbage, it can be shown that Hume’s condition of proof'chn he mathematically satisfied. I will premise that the examination of these cpnditions. depends upon the science of pro babilities, the results of which, as explained by La Place, Poisson, De.M.organ and others, are universally admitted by the scientific world. , • > We will suppose the miracle of a man being raised from the dead, and the question will present itself in this form, viz,: . Can a sufficient number of witnesses' be produced, whose concurrent testimony (with out collusion) will; by -the principles of the science of'probabilities, satisfy the .condition of Hume? I . shall not attempt now to discuss the proofs by which the principles of this science are established; but will merely state that the mathematical probability or improbability of an event transpiritigis'expressed by a frac tion, the sum of which fractions is;always equal to unity. . . Let theprobability of. an event be expressed by the fraction - . Let to represent the- num ber' of persons whp have died without any one having risen again. The improbability of the (m -f l) lh rising from the dead will be represented by and will represent (independent of testimony) the probability, that the (m'-f 1)“ person who died arose again.. I ’Now, either the" event did happen [the (m-4-l) ft personwhodied, arose frbihthe dead], and the witnesseS agree in speaking the truth; the probability of their; concurrence-being represented by (1 —-that of the hypothesis i being 6r, the event did f not : hk.ppen, and the witnesses ’agree in falsehood, the proba bility- of> their concurrence ibeing: expressed by (i)“ that of the hypothesis being The probability of the l witnesses speaking the truth, and of the event occurring is tnere fore, (1_ >)“ \ p/m+i (1- iT 4i + (7) 1 3 (p- 1 )- + m + x The probability of their falsehood is (±Y -"h 1 m + l, ••1 • : VpA m-J-S ‘ '• ‘ ' ■"' (1-1 T =* + (•)“ (p^ 1 )" + ni + l ; According to Hunte, the falsehood of the witnesses must be more improbable ih&n the occurrence of the miracle, viz: i'p—l)“ + m+l < m + 2 m+ 1) (m+2)< (p—1)" -fm+l : ! p—1)“ >(m-f 1) (m+2) —(m+l) (p-1)" > (m+l) 2 n log.

In order to satisfy this logarithmic formula p must be greater than 2, that is, the wit nesses must he more liable to tell the truth than a falsehood; for if p was equal to 2, the denominator of the fraction would become 2 zero, and consequently it would require an infinite number of' witnesses to satisfy the condition.
