farmer's Dtpartrarut. About Hirsd Men. We linvo li:id fnqiidit occttsinn fo notice the different "luck," us tlie\ culled it,wi ieit emp'o; - ers have liud with their hind ' el|>. We know a Mr. P. who was for ever in hot watir with his men. 'I hey couldn't he trusted out of >i_ir!if. They would idle away half their time, ?lgi;t their work, abuse the horses at:d cattle, and waste more than their he!,) was worth—such was the frequent complaint of tin in and to them. On the other hand they unhesitatingly declared, that I here never was Mich a driving, miserly, surly, and altogether conu uiptihlc man as their employer From early summer until theireinployment ceased in the fall, there seem ed to be a continual strife between them each aggravating the other, each apparently study ingl to find the limit of human endurance, and it sometimes happened that actual violence w: s resorted to, a hand-to-hand encounter with one or more of the men, followed by prosecutions, Jaw-snits, and costs to pay. Put neighbor G never appeared to have fCi difficulty. lie freqii; ntiy h red the same men employed hy Mr I'. the previous season, yet all went smoothly. His work was done in season, and mil done ; although they were often away from his observation, there was no disposition shown to take advantage of his absence, and used to speak with pleasure of bis " excellent hands." Yet he never was heard to scold, but often to prsie, and if fanlt was found, the offender alone knew of it. This we apprehend was one secret of his success. He remembered that they were men as well as "help " —and as a man he knew that appreeia tion is one of the highest stimulants of exertion and that fault finding in presence of others, sours the feelings and disheartens from effort. The man who t-kes as much pains tc l'nd points to commend in those in his employ, as he does to discover their defects, will soon see tlie bene fit, in cheerful readiness to work and endeavors to | >'ease. Scolding never did any good. A j man will listen if you tell him his faults, how ever plainly, if it jje done with luilduess aud in private. Too many men pay but little regard to the physical comfort of .their " help." Tlmy are kept on the coarsest, sometimes the meanest fare. They are sent to sleep two or three in a room often in the unfinished chamber of an outbuilding.andoll beds tit only to do penance upon. Then too, the men are not only kept at their work " from early dawn ti 1 set of sun," but one furrow more must be turned, or one swath more mowed after the full time of a day's work is completed. Men are easily affected by what touches physical feelings. Generous fare—it need not be expensive —comfortable lodging rooms, ample 110011 rests, and prompt " turning out" from the field at night, will be more than repaid by the cheerful spirit and " working with a will," which will be given in return. A notlior cause of much difficulty will be found in the whiskey jug or cider pitcher carried into the field. Although the men may for a time seem to do more l>y the use of this extra steam experience has many times proved that strictly temperate men can better endure the severe la bors of farm life ; while seven eighths of the quarrels and colli>ious, with disgrace too many, otherwise peaceful, communities, originate from the use of alcoholic stimulants. A great point will he gained, if hired men can be brought to feel an interest 111 the success of the farm. Sometimes a good way to pro cure this, would be the offer of extra pay pro vided the amount of the crops could be brought beyond the average yield, so that each would feel a personal interest in doing his work well. It would take very littlw calculation to show that several bushels per acre might be added to the product of each field, by better plowing corn or other crops. The subject is certainly worthy ot careful consideration, for most farm ers are, to quite an extent, dependent upon the labor of ot hers. CUT FEED FOR STOCK.— Much has been writ ten on this subject : the argument in favor of cutting up feed for stock may be stated in a few words. If a farmer has no fodder to be disposed of, except fine, " merchantable hay," there will be little need of cutting it, But most persons have cornstalks, ami hay and straw a little damaged, which if fed out unpre pared would be much wasted. Now, let this be runt hrough a straw-cutter,then mixed with a little meal and moistened, and it will be a vastly more palatable dish, little or none will be wasted, anil what is eaten will be well di gested. Our good house wives hash up odds and ends of meat, to save them, and to make tbcm more acceptable to their families : why should not the same principle of economy rule in the farmer's barn ? Besides, i( cornstalks arc not cut up, they find their way into the mauure heap in a rough state, they nre very slow to decay, and are troublesome in the shoveling of the manure—whereas, if they are cut, these objections are obviated. CUI.TIRK OK I NOUN* CORN.— The grand points in the culture of corn, are good ground deeply and thoroughly plowed and well prepar ed, seasonable and careful planting, early and thorough cultivation and hoeing,and eradication of weeds and grass until the crop is grown. I have succeeded, some four or five times, in raising from eighty to one hundred and two bushels of shelled corn per acre, by manure, in a region where thirty bushels is probably a full average crop. My course has been to break a swurd, say about seven or eight inches deep or to highly manure and thoroughly plow other laud ; prepare well, and plant in good season i —that is, when I think the weather is such as to produce quick germination. As soon as the corn is sufficiently large to see the rows, we commence with the cultivator and hand-hoe, loosen the surface and clean the hills of weeds, and carefully place a small quantity of loose mold around the stalks j after which endeavor to keep the surface loose and clean during the season, particularly keeping the hill clean, and occasionally udJing a little fresh loose mold. E. IX. MII.ES ANI> HORSES.— Which is the most pro fitable animal to raise, the horse or the mule ? Ist. An average lot of two-year-old mules! will sell for as much as an average lot of three-' year-old colts,and pel haps more. 2d. It does not require the same amount of food for a mule as for the horse. 31. The mule is less liable to disease and unsoundness. 4. The mule lives to a much greater age than the horse, oth The mule will perform more la b >r, according to his size, on feed oil which u hirse would starve.—X. Y.
