Early Fattening of Animals.
The philosophy of increase of fat in animals
is, that the digested food not needed to sup
ply waste in the system, is laid up in the form
o? fat around the muscles, ready to be absorb
ed attain into the circulation if needed. Waste
is induced by combustion in the lungs, of the
digested food, to supply animal heat Hence
the same amount of food given in warm weath
er will, if digested, afford a greater surpnls of
fat than when fed in cold weather. Ilogs or
other animals intended for fattening should be
shut up this month. Many advocate making
the size of the fa'tening pen so small that the
animal will have just room to stand or lie.—
While confinement favors rest a disposition to
fatten, too close quarters are not healthful
for the animal which needs moderate exercise
to promote digeston. The quality of the flesh
produced most be somewhat impaired by any
confinement that interferes with the health.—
The appetite may be kept op by change of food
a frequent supply of green vegetables, such as
corn, cabbage leaves, pea-vines, and the refuse
of the garden. Cooked food digests much more
easily than raw, and is in a condition to yield
more nourishment, and is also better relished
by most kinds of stock. Cleanliness in the
fattening pens should not be overlooked.—
Although pigs proverbially are filthy, they are
not really so; they do not delight in the
effluvia of their own droppings, as any one can
see by noticing that they generally appropriate
one portion of the pen to filth. An occasional
washing and scrubbing wiih soap suds will con
duce much their thrift—all animals keep in
condition more easily wbea the skin is kept
clean and healthy.
SAVE THE VEGETABLE SEEDS. —Many seeds
are annually wasted from not being gathered
at the right time. They left till a convenient
season, and then one "job" is made of it. In
this way,as they do not ripen at the same time,
the first matured and most valuable are lost
and many are taken while yet green and worth
less. The garden should be visited every day
from the first ripening, and the mature heads
collected, the stalks being severed with a sharp
knife or shears. Sheets or uewsp.ipers may be
spread upon the floor of a chamber or garret,
and the different kinds laid separately upon
them. When the gathering is completed, and
the seeds have thoroughly dried rub them out,
cleau them, aud put them in bags of cloth or
paper. Each parcel should be distinctly label
ed with the name, and the year when gather
ed. Many vexatious mistakes will thus be
avoided next Spring. All seeds for future
planting should be kept as far as possible from
heat, moistnre and light. The vitality will be
impaired, if not destroyed, by carelessness in
this respect. Tin cases, glass jars, or even
tight wooden boxes are preferable to leaving
them loose in the "closet."
SELECT SEED CORN THIS MONTH. —The best
seed will be likely to produce the best crops
next year. Pass through the corn field this
month and select the fullest and most forward
ears, from stalks bearing twoor three ears, and
in some way mark the hills. As soon as ♦tiflk-i
--ently ripened they should be gathered, braided
together by the husks into " traces." ond hung
in a dry place. If this plan lie followed up.
there will be an improvement in the quality,
quantity, and early maturity if the (ther pro
cesses of cultivation are properly attended to.
COUNTRY BOYS. —Country lads often feel
that their lot is a hard one Thev see city
bred youngsters 011 their travels and their
sprees at the age of fourteen ! veritable young
geutlemen, with a finished exterior, a cigar and
a cane. The young fanner at the same age
finds himself with a hoe in hand and a cheap
straw hat on his head sweating among the hills
of corn. He is frequently envious of his city
brother—whisking past him in the cars with
kid gloves, delicate ringlets, aLd plenty of
money in his pocket.
Mind your cjrn, boy ; line it out clenn, keep
stoidily to the labor you have in hand, do it
well, and in time your good days will come too.
If you find farming is not suited to your taste
or vour strength, or circumstances ; it you like
mechanism better or have a capacity for busi
ness, whatever eventually yon may engage in
it is all the same ; you have begun right. The
city blades have begun wrong, and in due time
you will see it. Their fathers and mothers
will, in the end, see it, too. Do not feel envious
of the pleasures that a hot house man enjoys,
remember, not in a malicious {but sober spirit,
that soch plants wither early. l>y the time
you have acquired fixed habits of industry,and
acquired a corresponding perfection of mind
and body, your delicatelyjrearedcotemporary of
the town begins to feel the debilitating effects
of idleness and dissipation. lie is not alone
to blame for a weak body and a profitness
mind—it is the residt of a system ; but lie can
not escape from its effects, these he must en
dure for himself in his own person. Ilis father
may be a professional man or a merchant, or
may be merely rich—the chances are fifty
against one that the son will not replace his
father. Such is the result of well settled ex
perience ; business falls into the hands of those
who are most competent ; it does not descend
to heirs. It is the country boys, after all,who
do the city business. Observing men have
often stated this fact, and inquire into the origin
of Cleveland, or Boston, or New York, you will
find it to be so. All external circumstances
are in favor of the son or the elerk succeeding
to the trade of the old firm ; but the sou seldom
almost never dies in the position of a partner
of the house. Why is it ? Simply because
habitual industry in wanting, and habitual in
dulgence is not wanting. With all the exter
nal odds against it, the country furnishes the
cities their principal business men. If intelli
gent, faithful, and persevering and, above all,
cheerful and contented, the chances are that
the lad with the hoe will eventually do the
business of the father of the lad in gloves, who
is now luxuriating in his travels.— Ohio Farm.
THERE are many who suppose it necessary
to leave the second growth of grass undislurb
cd, to rot on the ground, in order to preserve
the fertility of old meadows in grass where top
dressing with manure is not resorted to. But
such management is cfteutimes extremely hurt
ful, and tbe injury is proportioned to the
amount left untrodden nnd unused. If the
amount left standing, or laying loose opon the
surface, be considerable, it makes a harbor for
mice, which will under cover of the old grass,
intersect the surface of the laud with paths in
numerable; from which they cnt all the grass
that comes in their way.— H. W. Betcher.

A NEW AGRICULTURAL SETTLE
-1 V MENT—To all wanting farms, a rare opportunity
in a delightful and healthy climate 25 miles southeast of
Philadelphia on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, New
Jersey. An old estate consisting of several thousand'of
acres'of productive soil has been divided into Farms of
various sizes to suit the purchaser. A population of some
Fifteen Hundred, from various parts of the middle States
and New England have settled there the past year, im
proved their places, and raised excellent crips. The
price of the laud is at the low sum of from sls to S2O
per acre, the soil is of the best quality for the production
of IVneat, Clover. Corn, Peaches, tiraj.es and I'egeta
bles. It is considered the best fruit soil in the Union.—
The place is perlectly secure from frosts—the destructive
enemy of the farmer. Crops of grain, grass and fruit are
now growing and can be seen. By examining the place
itself, a < orrect judgment can be "foonied ol the produc
tiveness of the land. The terms are made easy to secure
the rapid improvement of the land, which is only sold lor
actual improi emcut. The result has been, that within the
past year, some three hundred houses have been erected,
two mills, one steam, four stores, some forty vinyard and
Peach orchards, planted, and a large number of other
improvements, making it a desirable and active place of
business.
The Market, as the reader may perceive from its loca
tion, is the best in the Union. Produce bringing double
the price than in locations away Irom the city, and more
than double the price than the West. It is known that
the earliest and best fruits and vegetables in this latitude
come from New Jersey, and are annually exported to the
extent of millions.
In locating here, the settler has many advantages. He
is within a few hours ride of the great cities of New Eng
land and Middle States, he is near his old friends and as
sociations, he is in a settled country where evert/ improve
ment of comfort and civilization is at hand. He can buy
every article he wants at the cheapest price, and sell his
produce lor the highest, (in the West this is reversed.)
he lias schools for his children, divine service, and will
enjoy an open winter, and delightful climate, where lev
ers are utterly unknown. The result of the change upon
those from the north, has general.y been to restore them
to an excellent state of health.
Jn the way of building and improving, lumber can be
obtained at the mills at the rate of $lO or sls per thou
s-nd. Bricks from the brick yard opened in the place
every article can he procured in the place, good carpen
ters are at hand, and there is no place in the Union where
buildings and improvements can be made cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the advantages
here presented, and ask himself why the property has not
been taken up before. The reason is, it was never thrown
in the market; and unless these statements were correct,
no oue would be invited to examine the land before pur
chasing. This all are expected to do. They will sec the
land under cultivation, such is the extent of the settle
ment that thev will no doubt, meet persons, from their
own neighborhood ; they will witness the improvements
and can judge lie character i the poptfation. If they
come with a \ lew to seitle, they should come prepared i-j
stay a day or two and lie ready to purchase, as locations
cannot be held on refusal.
There are two daily trains to Philadelphia, and to all
settlers who improve, THE RAILROAD COMPANY GIVES A
FREE TICKET FOR SIX MONTHS, AND A HALF-PRICE TICKET
FOR THREE YEARS.
THE TOWN OF HAMMONTON—In connection with
the agricultural settlement, a new and thriving town has
naturally arisen, which jnesents inducements for any kind
of business, particularly xtorcs and manufactories. The
Shoe business could be carried on in this place and market
to good advantage, also cotton business, and manufacto
ries of agricultural implements or Founderie* for easting
small articles. The improvement has been so rapid as to
insure a constant and pe-nianent increase of business
