And we well fellow all of the processes of growth ir:i of the operations of cultivation and aarwwt bag. we shall find that the former are saver peie ily too great wetness of the sc. iti that the latter maybe performed tlxvys sa fed seas n and with the best eiecs. It either are the crops destroyed, or evsa rreahj tt.jrred by drought, for if there .j ore tf.:: of underdraining that is estab lished beyond doubt it is that it is at least the basis cf ail these operations by which we ai-tst successfully attempt to overcame the efect ofd rought: and it is itself the greatest of all preventions of drought. Inaead of being a pest to the farmer, dis appointing half of his hopes and baffling his teat skill, this acre of land has become a pli ant tool in his hands. So far as it is possible for him to be independent of the changes of the weather, he has become independent of them, and be works with a certainty of the best reward, which changes his occupation from a game of hazard to a work of fair promise. To answer the question, then, which stands at the head of this article, underdraining is the knocking oat of the bottom of the water tight bos in which our soil is encased. If we are the happy occupiers of land through which water settles away as it falls, we have no need of the operation. But if our only (or our chief) outlet is at the surface, with the drying sun and wind for draining tiles, we do need it, and we can never hope for the success to which our seed, our manure and our labor entitles us until we adopt it. How it is best to do the work depends on - 1, situation, price of labor, price ofmaterial and debth of outlet that can be secured. Stone drains, tile drains, brush drains, board drains, mole plough tracks and all other conduits for water are proven pretty good, so long as they continne to afford a channel through which the water can run freely. The choice between them is based on the questions of durability, cost and availa bility. The onlv positive rules applicable to all ca'.es are that the drain should be a covered one. and not an open ditch, and that it should be, whenever possible, at least three, and better four, feet deep.— Evening Post. RYE AND INDIAN BREAD. Mrs. Eliza rrentice of Dacota sent the fol lowing recipe to the American Institute Farmers Club: My method is for a good thick loaf, one pint of rye flour to three pints of Indian meal one half teacup (some say one cup) of syrup or its amount in Brown sugar; scald with boiling water—be sure and stir in water enough to thoroughly scald it; no salt; cover it over, let it stand until cool, then reduce it with cold sweet milk until quite thin, or enough so to pour into your pan: bake all day, let it stand in the oven all night, if conveni ent. At you don't have a luScious loaf in- the morning, then I am not the daughter of a New England mother. This is the Rhode Island plan fifty years ago, that is, minus the molasses. The Massachusetts and Connecti' cut people used to add yeast when cool; but I must prefer the Rode Island plan. If your crust is too hard to eat, remove it, and soak it in water, then add to your next loaf; yonr will find it richer and superior to your first— after the second or third loaf you will need no syrup. Another way, that has been more recently sought out, is two cups of meai and one of flower, two cups of sweet milk and cue of sour, one half cup of syrup, one half teaspoonful of saluratus, and a little salt; pour in u two quart basin, well buttered, steam two hours, and bake one hour in a hot ia eu, turn the dish bottom side np on a plate for half an hour before eating. This is for a sma. family. You can enlarge on it if you Use . It is easily prepared for dinner. TIME FOR .MULCHING. We believe in mulching as much as we behove m good cultivation, for it is a part of it, but there is a time for benefit to be derived in the greatest degree from both. Light, heat, air and moisture, are essential to the ptow'Ji Of root* below ground as they are to that ofleaf and twig above; but it the mulch is put upon.the ground early in spring, the direct action of these elements is lost, growth is retarded until heat has approached from a side connection, and it is then continued often late in the season, resulting in an immature, unripe condition of the plant. We have found our best results to come from stirring the soil frequently until the summer heat, then apply our mulch, removing it again early in October, and again applying it as soon ' as the ground is well frosea. -By this coarse w<> give our roots, i the spring, the benefit of the elements they need to make perfect growth; we keep the powerfel rays of the midsummer sua away and thus give them a longer time to felly mature wood and rooß e give them in autumn the aetion of the at unophere to enable the>u to gradually harden the root and branch and fit it for the extreme ovhl of * later; and in winter, after having p\>,s,-u them to sleep, we cover them so they way not he wakened from week to week, but oominue their nap until such time as, by the natural order, they should again pursue their appointed eouree, —■ ifueffrwttnrist, STEALING IT. As the season for fruit and berries is now here, our eubons in towii and country nro suffering trom the depradations of petty thieves and pilferers, in many cases the chil drcn of respectable parents who do not dream of the occupation of their children. Uuilcr the technicalities of the common law, these annoying offenders could generally escape clear of all consequences. At most, they could bo in dutiger of but a sound thrashing from the angry owner, who then became himself liable for prosecution for assault. — Now things are changed. Under the Act of 1860, the stealing of fruit from the trees or on the ground is a serious offense, and the remedy is simple and prompt. By that judi cfecs aid effective law. the willful taking and carry :'x awsy of traits, vegetables, plants, rises, scrubs or trees, is made a misdemea nor. pssbhaifie in the Court of Quarter Ses sions as-i rendering the offender liable to a fine of ss'-), and imprisonment for sixty days. The course of proceeding under this act is plain and easy. A complaint before any Al derman or Justice of the Peace is all that any person lias to do. The law provides a full and simple remedy against the plundering and damaging of gardens or yards, and it is the fault of the owner if they suffer. Jummw. A BAD SIGN — to sign another man's name to a note. A NARBOWXKSS of waist shows narrowness of mind. WHEN is old cheese like a dollar? When it is all-mity. "Now that you are on my side, I hope you will stick to me," as the patient said to the plaster. A BAKER has invented a new kind of yeast. It makes bread so ligbt that a pound of it only weighs twelve ounces. "I WISH," said a son of Eriu, "I could find the place where men don't die, that I may go and end tng days there." A CHAP says he cured palpitation of the heart by the application of another palpita ting heart to the part affected. AMiss Rose was married to a Mr. Fur nace the other day. This is a quick method of consuming a pretty flower. A SAII<OR in attempting to kiss a pretty girl, got a box on the ear. "There," he ex claimed, "just my luck; always wrecked on the coral reefs." A CYXICAI. chap insists that the fewer rela tions or friends we have, the happier we are. In your poverty they never help you; in your prosperity they always help themselves.

"I AM afraid, sir, you have settled melan choly," said a landlady to a miserable lodger. "No, madame," he replied, "my melancholy won't settle: like your coffee it has too much grounds," ARTEMVS WARD was tond of telegraphing and studied it for amusement. He was a very good "sender." To the telegram of a California lecture committee, "What will yon take for 100 nights ?" Artemus Ward promptly replied: "Brandy and water." A DRUNKEN fellow got out of his calcula tion, and was dozing in the street, when the bells roused him by their ringing for fire. "Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, four teen," cried he; "well, if that isn't later than I ever knew it." "JOHN, wouldn't it be a good plan for yon to have a stub scythe here and be cutting a few bushes along the fence while the horse is resting a short time?" John, with quite as se riou a a countenance as the divine wore himself said: "Wouldn't it be as well, sir, for you to have a tub of patatoes in the pulpit, and when they are singing to peel' em awhile to be ready for the pot?" AT A GRAND REVIEW by George 111, of the Portsmouth fleet, in 1789, there was a boy monnted tbe shrouds with so much agility as to surprise every spectator. The king particularly noticed it and said to Lord Lo thian, "Lothian, I have heard much of your agility; let us see you runup after that boy." "Sire," replied Lord Lothian, "it is my duty to follow your majesty.' A YOUTH on his first visit to Portland saw the land across the harbor, and cried out to his father: "Oh, father, haintthat Cuba over there, where all the molasses and oraoges come from?" The noble sire tnrned upon his worthy offspring, and with a dignified and scornful expression answered, "No, you fool; Cuba is more"a forty miles from here 1" A PROVINCIAL JUDGE, who was a great bore in his way, called upon Bautru, wishingto see him. "Tell him lam in bed." "Sir, be says he will wait till you are risen." "Tell him lam very ill." "He says he will pre scribe some remedy." "Tell him lam in the last extremity." ',Tell him lam dead." "He says he will sprinkle you with holy wa ter." "Confound him! let him in." WHAT THE LADIES WON'T CONFESS. —There are several things which you never can, by any accident, get a lady—be she young or old —to confess to. Here are some of them:— That she laces tight. That her shoes are too small for her. That she is tired at a ball. That she paints. That she is older than she looks. That she has been more than five minutes dressing. That she blushes upon hearing a certain person's name mentioned. That she ever says anything she does not mean. That she is fond of scandal. That she cannot keep a secret. That she —above all other persons in the world—is in love. That she does not want a new bonnet. That Bhe does not know everything. That she can do with one single thing less when she is abont to travel. That she has not the disposition of an angel or the temper of a saint, or how else could she go through with one half she does. That she is a flirt or coquette. ALL KINDS OF MISCELLANEOUS BOOKS furnished at the Inquirer Book Ftore. tf ALL THE DAILY PAPERS for sale at Inquirer Book Store. tf 31f' -=f|itrk ffnlttum.

The No. 2 is particularly adapted to the fariter'i. use; m intending to apply to any common w ! or ra,lway power: weighs l.sou pounds; has L iron threshers frame, an l cylinder, 12' ." diameter and 28 inches long; delivers the eVin grain in bags, or if desired, in a half burb.d |, delivers the straw fifteen feet from the feeder , if desired, can deliver the straw and chaff toreth er; w ;ll thresh and clean, in good grain, read' ' - market, from 100 to 17 . bushels of wheat r<• . 300 to 600 bushels of o&t* per day, using' f >ur six horses, and the same number of hands but t force the work, under most favorable iireum Stances, good grain, Ac,, will thresh and clean considerable more. The Machine will thresh and clean all kinds of grain generally threshed wirh the common machine, and rerjpircs no more h ,r-e power, but in many eases does not -un -j bard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail way power. Now here is what the Farmer and ihresherman wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm to thrash grain, with taore satisfaction than any other separator now in 0.-e, and why is it? cau*c this separator has a self regulating 'filial which prevent* grain from blowing into the - huff! and also has a self regulating feeder o ieeu' trio cleaner and it has rollers and combs the cle-n --cr which prevents it from cboaking. Why ij„ e s this machine run so light, and give so little trou ble. Because there is hss friction in the Jour. naN, and the rakes and fan an geared so that you have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping, causing duet to fall into the wheat. Why does it clean against the wind ? Because the blast ha; direct action on the grain and the cleaner is well arranged Ilia' the wind has no "ban e to drive the dirt into the hopper. Wbv is it built permanently on two wheel; and the front car riage separate, ready to attach when nc---ar- > Because it is more convenient in the barn without the front carriage. Yon can turn the ma- bine or run it from place to place more easily. Why ba it not got Elevators like some other machine-? Because the Elevators carry the fifth ban k alter nately into the cleaner which must eventually •, into the good wheat or in the chaff, and ail know that filth should tie kept separate for feed. Ac.' we might as weli keep shoveling the Tailings from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex pect to get the grain clean. Why is this scpara tor more cleaner ai d satisfactory to work at it than others? Because the Fan and Trunk Sides are closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and du-t trom coining out and scattering over the fl • r, causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt and sore eye-, Ac. Why do Tbreshcrmen get more work with these separators than they do with others ? Because this separator has ail the.-e advantages and many more, which makes it a separator suitable and a paying one for all winner- and Thrasheraien that have grain to thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must suit themselves to the machine, because the machine will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, this is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and most agreeable to work about and the only scpar ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiency clean for market under all circumstances. Farmers can rest a-sure l that this machine is no humbug, and judging from the high rec i mendation of farmers that arc using theui, we must come to the conclusion that it is the very Machine that farmers want and wiil have a n as they have an opportunity to appreciate and attest its merits, for which wo hope they wiil gire us an opportunity, as we are willing to be respon sible if it does not perform as represented in this Circular.
