Ma. rotvon:—There isone sut.jvct which should claim Impporltaitervply of onr tarmeraitrPenn• al Wanks; but nhich. for some unaccountable lea enn,--has 'been stretrigely neglected. tiler to the introduction into more geriend use, for that valuable animal, the mule, for Cam' purposes. For enure ye art , I have been a practical farmer and like tnost farmers in their navigate, I porches• ed such horses as to me appeared best adapted to my purposes. Little attention wt paid to the quasi ',ity of grain necessary to keep them in eleekt eon- dirien tram year to year. After using horses for 5 r years, I come to the conclusion that my larm work mild be done as well and as quickly, and that neatly one.half of my horse feed might be saved; 'and I loped to accomplish all this by substituting mules for my horses. For a year or two previous to their inunduc• ion of the mates on my farm, I urged upon my neigh bore the eipt diency of mane them. I did- this or the ground of their superior activity, strength, hard ness, cheapness of keeping, longevity. Sto. But my neighbor!, like the generality of brmere, had adow. ed the prevailing opinion that they were hard to manage, vicious and warily. Thal $4.141.1'r upon the mule seems to have had its origin in the fact that iron master,. (ritual boatmen; and others, who employ melee lamely, eirtruat then; In' meteiless hirelings, who inlitenarny abuse the poor atrunals. by beating, weippitia.SO.% milli big Ste,, pro 411-- . ing conned/trig like a leering of sell (telefax., duce. them to deepaitairm, and r wines ensues If gentl e means were used, and the mule treated as a' very useful creature should be, with a proper degree of humanity, they would become as quiet and vacua , hie as a horse. To those who would desire to purchase mules, I say, select and purchase them b, fee they are bri, ken to harneaa, at the tree of three years. Place them, one at a time beside a gentle horse, and work for a day or two. Let the most entitling meatus be used. If the mule becomes refractory, iin.tead of beating him into submission, try the power of kind. I I nese, and my word far it, in a short time he will work well wherever you ;Arousal° place him. For the purpose of illustration I w ill give you my own experience in ; I .lr I have now in my possession, a pair of dun mules, three yeareold that ten months ago never had a bridle or harness on. Them Melee are as perfectly broken to single or double harness, as any of the horses that I have- worked for years. This was,accompli.ed by gen• tie treatment, and I —arrree4tisfied that the same course, if generally pnrsuell, would soon redeem the eharaeter o". the mule from the unjust censure so freely heaped upon him by those who have al ways la at him harshly. The mules above referred to, were awarded a special premium at the late state Fair. They are not only gentle and kind, but I can do more plow ing with them in the same space of time, 11)31) with any two horses I ever had; with this advaithige in • laver of - the mules, t h u t they keep sleek and fat on cne.half the feed reqnreil for the horses. Another urgurneut in favor of mules is the corn 'parative cases with which they can be reared With such a roil and climate as Pennsylvania, the cost of raising a mule need not exceed that of a three year eld a raega„ .... Die mule at that age, oven though tin ordinary one, *Et - coin inane one - rzurier. and if a first rate one, from one hundred atal twenty to fifty dollars; while nitte-tenths of our horses a_ threeyears old, are not worth more than eighty dollars, although the cost of leech, g and attention is nearly twice as great. 8. M. orit. tzt the Garden. There is no spot on a farm so competent to en. sure comfort and profit, as the space allotted to the garden ; if that be weft tilled —nay, so far as it re gard* profit it is safe to assert, that ha f an acre de voted to such purpose, and cultivated as it ought to be with skill and industry, will yield more profit than any three acres which may be appropriated to field culture. Besides which the means of luxury which it vouchsafes to one's family, is too sacred to be estimated by those rules by which the value of dollars and cents are determined. We have some times thought that the owner of a farm who failed to provide a well-appointed garden for his firnily, omitted a great moral . duty, and was at the time, neglectful of his interest.

FROZEN FOTATue3.— It is stated that if potatoes, Wheit in a frozen state, are dropped one by one into boiling water, and cooked, that taste of quality will be tiiitnjurral by the freezing. Li Chaptat's Chemistry, it is recommended to sprinkle frozen potatoes with slacked lime, so as to absorb the excess of moisture which forms beneath the skin when the tuber begins to thew, and which would otherwise occasion speedy decomposition We presume that dry ashes would answer the same purpose—and dry Plaster of Paris would be better still. tir many potato.. in Qopar4 and pits have been frozen by the late severe weather s perhaps the fore. going hints may prove valuable to some house keepers. Puts FACTS yore Plash Fansseas.—Farmers are often complaining of the Written of high taxes that weigh them down. Bra it is a notorious fact that ninety-nine hundredths of our fawners loose and waste more valuable manures on their premises, annually, that would pay all their taxes for five years.. , We thinkwe hear same of our farmers say that we are mistaken, because, they keep their straw and their cattle in a yard and make two or three [nindn ed loads of manure in a year. True, but they lose forty per cent of thievery manure by improper man agement of it. Generally it lies on a steep hill side below their back barns, with all the water from the barn running through it for nine months, wash ing out twenty per cent, of its lalue, and carrying it into the nearest inn of creek, and then they haul it into then &Iris in August, and spread it out for two or tree weeks, on the top of the ground, allowing me sun roar:rpm:tie twenty per cent, more of ire valuable properties; before it 14 plowed under the groutirl, where It nay ht to have been before it w as ever permiileil to Levu to thy.
