|ata, 6a4rrn*3SBhol<l. For the Inquirer. A PRACTICAL application of-com- MON SENSE IN FARMING." Jost at the present time, we venlare to say half our tar me re are scarcely doing more than earing tor their atook. In harvest when every band wanted and every hour precious a baud will be kept from the harvest field, by each of these same men, to chop enough wood to cook the meals for the harvest hands. We know from personal observation that this is annually the case with hundreds of our far mers. Why not economize time now? Du ring the milder days of winter enough wood can be cut. hauled home, and sawed and spiit into stove wood to last the family until an other winter. This doubtless sounds very matter of fact and simple, yet it is neglected from year to year by many who would angrily resent the intimation tLat they were not model farmers iu their management and economy in (arm work. If this simple rule of preparing fuel in winter for the whole year were pursued by all our farmers, their good wives would be saved a vast amount of worry and trouble. Slow fires and smoked dinners would be much less frequent, and they would be saved the. Ehame and disgrace of having their wives and daughters, found doing the work in the busy days of summer, that lazy or mismanaging fathers and sons neglected to do when they had abundance of leisure in the winter. Chopping wood is not proper work for farmers wives, but we have ofteo seeu them do it and it did them no discredit in car estimation, but we ever after despised the fathers and sons that permitted them to do such work. How many will take a hint from this plain statement and during the remaining days oi winter store away under cover a bountiful supply of ready prepared fuel? How many will apply the same philosophy to a dozen similar things that may ba done in winter so as to economize the precious hours of seed time and harvest? AMERICAN AND ENGLISH FARMERS. The former says "plow and re seed every few years to renovate the grass land;" the latter on no pretense whatever thinks of plow ing an old established grass Seld. If mowed too many years in succession, and the crop becomes light because manure cannot be con veniently applied, by grazing with cattle and sheep lor two or three years together the grass will thicken and rapidly improve in every respect, especially if kept short by put ting stock enough upon it to prevent bunches of old grass being left uneaten from the mid dle of May till the end of August: for there are so many varieties of grasses growing ir. a permanent pasture that, if allowed to be stocked lightly, the coarser kinds will shade and kill all the finer and more nutritious sorts. Look at a pasture field in America —where do cattle or sheep like to graze best ? It will invariably be seen that they will prefer the places where the grass has been kept short, and those patches in the field often near the gateway will look greenest and be as thick again in the bottom as elsewhere. Blue grass is similar to some English grass, and is most excellent to have in pastures and mowings likewise; for the finest and best meadow hay in England is made from a mix tare of grasses, the stems of which are all as thin as white clover, and, as the English farm er is not foolish enough to let bis grass be come nearly ripe for seed before eutting, his meadows continue to have a thick-set sward year after year. Thomas Gihbs A Co., seed men to the Royal Agricultural Society of England, sell grass seed having about seventy varieties in it—price one guinea per bushel— which will soon become good for alternate grazing and mowing: bnt if grazed continual ly, and if on good deep soil, it will become feeding, and every kind of stock put on it will soon get fat, or if mowed season after staeoz, manure will be needed to keep up the stami na, and it will want repeated rolling and bush harrowing in the spring. In America, large boned animals are ad mired; in England, large frames heavily la dec with flesh and fat. but with fine bones. In the former country, meat is supposed to be best when pnt on the carcass quickly; but in the latter country the batcher will prefer a beast which has been laying on meat for years instead of months, and all meat from animals which are said to be "firm as a board," when those creatures are in the'r prime, is worth several cents more per pound than softer fleshed ones. A heifer never having had a calf, is in ber prime 8t four years; an ox is in his at six years; a calf for veal at ten weeks- ' aving had as much milk as he could suck.— Country Gentleman. PLEASURES OF GARDENING* Tte pleasures arising from tbe culture of flowers are harmless and pure; a streak, a tint, a jhade becomes a triumph, which, though often obtained by chance, i 3 secured . jhb by morning care, by evening caution, and the vigilance of days. It is an employ ment which in its various grades, excludes neither tbe opulent nor the indigent; teems with boundless vaiiety, and affords an un ceasing excitement to emulation, without contention or ill-will. There is no other pursuit alike calculated for peer or peasant in which tbe distinctions are so trivial, for the cottager may posses and enjoy the same beauteous rose or fragrant m.guonette in his little plot or his window, that occuj tea a place in the garden of the r Test. The clear light of heaven, the sweet fresh air, the verdure of the fields, the deli cacy of form and richness of color with which bounteous nature supplies us on every Fide, in the almost inexhaustible variety of her horticultural and floral treasures, are al> sources of the most unalloyed pleasure; and uis a wise dispensation of the Giver of ai! Good, that this gratification of the senses of sight and smell, whilst beholding the elegant s-ape of plants and inhaling the exquisite perfume of their flowers, is an enjoyment withm the reach of all who choose to seek >t. I nere are few surer tests of a happy home within, than the flower-decorated win dow and neat kept garden; and there is no occupation for the leisure hour more calcu lated to keep it so, or to soothe tbe mind. It yields pleasure without surfeit: the more we advance the more eager we become. And how unlike this i, to most of our worldly en gagements.— Gardener* Magazine. - 1 EXLTUFPLNESS or AISLES: " There is scarcely an article of vegetable food more *:de, y US ef u l an d raore universalljr , iked tUn the apple.

Yet it may easily be done on the self-sealing principle. It is only to keep the mouth of the vessel tightly closed. A LITTI.E fellow in New-York, who had just commenced reading the papers, asked his father if the word "'Hon.'"' prefixed to the name of Fernando Wood, the member of Congress, meant "honest." The parent shook his head. "ABE you a skilful mechanic?" "Yes, sir." "What can you make?" "Oh, almost any thing in my line." "Can you make a devil?" "Certainly; just put np your foot, and I will split it in three seconds. I never saw a chap ' in my life that required less alteration." A professor, giving a lecture to some boys, was explaining how no one could live without air. He then said: "You have all beard of a man drowning—how does that happen?" The ready answer was, "'Cause he can't swim." A dissipated and unmannerly nobleman, presuming npon his "nobility," once asked Sir Walter Scott, who sat opposite to him at a dinner, what the difference was between Scott and sot? "Just the breadth of the table," retorted Sir Walter. GOOD morning, Mr. Henpeck, said a prin ter in search of female compositors, 'have you any daughters that would make good type setters?'

It was a standing joke with the wags of Dublin to liken the colossal jndge and his diminutive compan ion to the twenty-first of June, inasmuch as tbey jointly constituted the longest Day and the shortest Knight. "SHOW me a man who can define," said Plato, "and I will worship him as a god." Webster would have suited him, particularly in his old definition of a boil, as a "circum scribed subcutaneous inflammation, charac terized by a pointed, pustular tumor, and sup purating with a centra! core; a percuncutis." Two FRIENDS were dining together; one ot them remarked: "As lam going abroad I have made my will, and have bequeathed to you my whole stock of impudence." The other replied : "l ou are generous as well as kind; you have bequeathed to me by far the largest portion of your estate.'' A I KEXCOMAN owed a man eight hundred francs, and he made a proposition to give him eight notes, payable monthly, for one hundred franks each. The first note was protested.
