Jam, §THE PROFITS OF A CROP OF i^ES. We find in Fuller's "Forest Tree CuSfcrCj" much new and interesting matter both ftf a practical and somewhat speculative character 1 . Few, he says, have ever calculated the valuC of an acre of oak, hickery, chestnut, or white ash. Growing as they do in their native for ests they are generally mixed with other trees that are often of little worth, except for fuel but assuming that an acre could be planted; exclusively with some of the above varieties, one would almost be astonished at the amount and value of the yield. Taking hickory—, which is always in demand for hoop-poles (for our latitude the same calculation could be made with white ash) Mr. Fuller proceeds to figure up the profits of an acre of land as follows. His calculations are at least inter esting , and we doubt not reliable : "Now the young 6ne or twoyear old plants, or even the nuts, may be pnt in rows four feet apart, and the plants one foot apart in the row; this will give 10,890 to the acre. At this distance they should reach this size in live to eight years, according to the soil and the care they receive. Then they should be thinned, by taking out every alternate tree : this shonla be done by cutting them off near the ground. We therefore take out ">445 trees suitable for hoop-poles. Their value will of course depend npon the market, but we will say four cents, or §4O per 1000, which would be a low price in New York: this would give §217.80 (two hundred and seventeen dollars and eighty cents) as the return for the acre's first crop. In three of four years they will need thinning again, and we take out, as be fore, one-half, or 2722; those will, of course, be much larger: and if they will reach ten feet, and are of good thickness, they will readily bring ten cents each, or $272.22 for the second crop. In a few years more they will require thinning again, and each time, the trees being larger, will bring an increased price. But we are not by this means ex hausting our stock —far from it, for those we cut off at first have been producing sprouts which have grown much more rapidly than the originals; and if a little care has been given them so that they shall not grow so fhickly as to be injured thereby, we can begin to cut small hoop-poles from the sprouts of fhe first cuttings before we have cut one-third or fourth thinnings of the first crop ; conse quently we have a perpetual crop, which re quires no cultivation after the first few years. As soon as the leaves become numerous chough to shade the ground, no weeds will grow among tbern, and the annual crop of leaves that fall will keep the soil rich and moist.*' GIVE THE BOYS A WORKSHOP, Every farmer who has boys, should provide them a workshop. It should be neatly made, and pleasantly situated, for it should be at tractive to those for whom it is intended. It should be tight and comfortable, furnished with a small stove, so as to make it warm in winter. It should be provided with a work bench and vise, a shaving-horse for using the drawing-knife, and perhaps a small foot-lathe which is very convenient, but not essential, however. The other tools should.be two or three planes, augers of different sizes, a few chisels, a bit-stock with bits, drawing knife, saw and hammer. For those who cannot af ford the whole, a small part of these would answer, and to those who can, other tools may be added—the cost of the tools would bo but a trifle compared with the advantages one would derive from the use of them. Ihe greatest is the assistance it will render the cause of practical education. It has been said that "the best inheritance any man can loove his children, is not wealth to support them, but the ability to help and take care of themselves. A young man whose natural ingenuity is so developed by practice that he can at any mo ment mend a take, fit a helve in ax, set a clock in running order, mend a broken har ness, give edge to a pair of shears, mend tin ware, repair an umbrella, white-wash a ceil ing. paper a room, make a bee-hive, bott> /1 a chair, or mend, a broken rocker, and ? a hundred other little jobs, will pass > the world more comfortably to himsv" ' " profitably to those around him. tha^" e OT j f who is obliged to send for a mec/ 1 ' ' 0 0 .... . . yeipiess to B „„v >•••* * • ni. is * perrorm himself. Another adv? oge afforded by such a workshop is its mor IDtlaenco fur " nishing pleasant employing to boys dar ing stormy weather, or other sure hourB ) and lessening the temptation o f rec l uent taverns, and to attend places of A erB i° n —which often leads to the most per^ c ' ous habits. Almost every Ya^ ec h* lB a longing for the use of tools TOW the moment his hand grasps a jack-k>ife an* he begins to whittle. Provide cheering w-rk for your works, some thing that will b* relaxation from the drudg ery of the plow toil, and the composite health, something that will satisfy their longings for progress, and open to them new realms of thought. If they are not skilled with the mal let and the chisel, the saw and the plane at home, they will quite likely become adepts at the pipe and the Entile abroad.— Rural New Yorker. HIGH CULTIVATION.— The Maine Farmer, alluding to the subject of "high cultivation," BO much talked of and written about, says that there is much more talk than improve ment. A man looks over his farm of many acres, and finds the whole needs aid, but not being able, at one, to render it to all portions, makes no particular effort to improve any part. The right way—right because alone practicable—is to commence with a few acres at a time. Get these in good heart the first year, and the increased product from them will aid in experimenting on another section the succeeding year. In this way the farm will soon become renovated, and properly j cared for, will not run down again as "long i as grass grows and water runs." SALTMO BUTTER.—A. Raymond, & New- Hampshire correspondent of The Rural New Yorker, gives the following receipe for salting butter: Take two quarts of good salt, one ounce of sugar, one ounce of saltpetre. Use one ounce of the composition for one ponnd of butter. It should be stamped and left to cool before putting in jars. Butter prepared in this way should not be used for two or three weeks. You will find that your butter will be very fine, as it will have no brittle or salty look or taste. By following this course your butter will keep the year through, in warm as well as cold weather. furnish a small supply of very rich IkSjfik their food costs Ittle, they have ||PpPu.~'ijWkvery profitable animals by families milk.

THF. crier of a court in Ireland endeavored to suppress the crowd by exclaiming: "All ye blackguards that isin't lawyers, lave the coort.'" A MAN being asked, as he lay sunning him self on the graas, what was the height of his ambition, replied, "To marry a rich widow with a bad congh." 'WHAT makes you look so grim, Tom ?'
