Jfstnttr's geprtnuut. About Beans. The importance of beaus as a farm crop, wi assume as granted : we now wish simply to notice one objection sometimes made to their cultivation, viz : that they exhaust the soil Science declares that they impoverish land more than corn or grain crops. Here are just the words : " A product of 30 bushels of beans per acre will remove, say 490 pounds of nitro gen or flesh-forming substance, while the same quantity of wheat per acre will remove only 260 pounds ; of barley, 40 bushels will remove 280 pounds ; of oats the same quantity will take away 275 pounds." And then the straw of the wheat must carry off its proportion of the same element. Why, then, it may be asked, should farmers cultivate this hurtful plant ? For the same reason that they cultivate corn, or tobacco, or hops, or any other very exhausting crop ; it may make large draughts on the soil and re quire heavy manuring to restore them, but then it pays well. Nor is this all : When properly cultivated, we seriously doubt whether it in jures the land so much as has beeu supposed. Look at its large leaves ; don't they show that the plant is designed to draw much of its nour ishment from the atmosphere ? In this res pect, it is like clover,and nnlike wheat and oats with small leaves. Aud then, many of those leaves fall and decay upon the ground, thus adding to its richness. Look, too, at the long top-root of the bean. It does not ramify all through the surface soil, as do the corn roots : it pierces down into the sub-soil, and then sends out its spongioles at the bottom. It goes deeper iu proportion to the thoroughness with which the soil is tilled. And this is just what we affirmed : with deep cultivation is it doubtful whether this crop is so exhausting as is sometimes supposed. SELV.CTI.VO CORV FOR SF.EP. —Those who have neglected to select their seed corn from among the earliest ears, on stalks bearing two or more ears, have lost a tine opportunity for iinprov ing the productiveness and the early ripening of fntnre crops of this important cereal. But they may still do better than have to go, as many yet do, to the crib to obtaui their sup ply of seed. They may save themselves also from the disappointment, and the loss of time and patience incident to planting seed which was never fully ripened, or was put away be fore being sufficiently dried, and which bad lost its germinating power by freezing or be coming mouldy in consequence of the remain ing moisture. These evils may yet be avoid ed by selecting the best ears at time of husk ing, saving the husks upon the ears, or a por tion of them, wherewith to braid several to gether and to hang them upon poles, nails, or something of the kind. Let the ears be plac ed in a room, chamber, of loft where they will be sure to dry thoroughly, both cob and corn, and then they cannot aftewards be injured by frost, as much seed corn has been during our late winters. As corn generally was nearly or quite two i weeks, or ten days at least, later than usual j in ripening this year, and as consequently some ' of it was overtaken by frost while yet unripe, j or cut up while somewhat green, in order to ; be beforehand with the frost, there ought to I be some caution exercised iu obtaining good , seed from such lots of corn. If any riper lot j is easily accessible, it would be better to go to a neighbor for seed, than to depend on any j snch late and unripened corn. Those who \ are content to have their seed from such ! unripened or late-ripening corn, will probably ; have to plant over again next spring. A careful farmer would also reject all ears I for seed, however large, which he might find • on stalks which were mouldy, or very imper fectly aired, in the middle of some large bun- 1 die or shock. Ears in such a situation may have undergone some change.— Country Gen- j tlcman. Tr ACHING ANIMALS.—The farmer is the \ " schoolmaster" of his herd. They are in the. habit of doing daily as be allows them to do. They fly at his approach, or welcome him.— They are gentle or not, as he teaches them to be. They watch his foot, if he is accustomed to kicking them. They kick back if he allows it. Nothing adds to 'he market value of farm stock more materially, wjfh so little cost, as the habits which arc acquired in youth. The cow —the horse, the ox and the dog are valued much according to their habits or education so is the man. The horse is frequently care fully trained—so is the dog ; the ox and the cow are as frequently " walloped into duty" as any way. I cannot see the propriety in offering pre miums for well trained speed horses, and not for plow or drought horses, or oxen and well trained cows. In real importance to the farm er the latter are far preferable. I would wish to urge upon the farmer, and the farmer's sons, the importance of careful, thorough training of farm animals. Use them tcjjderly and gently at all ages, aud you will see them manifest pleasure, rather than fear at your presance. In teaching ihem to work, or to perform any duty, you need to be tho rough, not harsh—kind, not cruel —aud your forbearance will gain their labor, and your kindness their love.— Correspondence of the Genesee Farmer. COLIC IS HORSES. —As there have been two or three receipts published iD your journal for the care of the above disease, I beg leave to communicate one, hoping that it may prove useful to as many as may have need to try it. I have tried it frequently, aud have never known it to fail, when all other remedies fail ed to produce any effect. There are two kinds of colic, one known as spasmodic or cramp celic, the other is term ed the gravel colic. The latter is some what different in symptoms, and requires dif ferent treatment. In the first place the horse does not cramp, but lies more on his back, bringing the region of the kidneys in contact with the gronnd ; he bites his sides and stretch es himself frequently. Any person, by a lit tle observation, can easily distinguish between the two a marked difference, so as not to mis take one for the other. For the cramp colic, take two ounces of aloes, one ounce of gaml>oge, and thirty drops of croton oil, divide into three doses with a pint of warm water to each ; or if the animal is hard to drench, make it into three pills by using linseed oil and flour. Give the two first doses an hour apart ; if this does not produce the desired effect in two hours, thereafter give the third dose iu pint of linseed oil, which will le sufficient to remove the most obstinate case Vatltu Farmer.
