department. Poor Farming. As the road to poor farming is not general ly understood, though it is crowded with trav elers, we throw out the following landmarks, from the Springfield Republican, for the com mon benefit : 1. Invest all yonr capital in land, and TUB into debt for more 2. Hire money to stock yonr farm. 3. Have no faith in your business, and be always ready to sell out. 4. Buy mean cows, spavined horses, poor oxen and cheap tool 9. 5. Feed bog bay and mouldy corn stalks exclusively, in order to keep your stock tame; firey cattle are always terribly hard on old rickety wagons and plows. 6. Use the oil of hickory freely, whenever your oxen need strength ; it is cheaper than bay or meal, keeps their hair lively, and pounds out all the grubs. 7. Select such calves for stock as the butch ers shun ; beauties of ruts, thin in the hams, and pot bellied ; be sure to keep their blood thin by scanty herbage ; animals are safest to breed from, that haven't strength to herd. 8. Be cautious iu the manufacture of man nre. It makes fields look black and mourn ful about planting time ; besides it is a deal of work to haul it. I believe that farmers, generally, are not aware bow much loss they sustain in the flesh of their domestic animals, and how much they suffer during cold storms of rain in the summer, or at aDy other season of the year.— "Warm showers never injure animals; indeed they appear to have a good relish for such a sprinkling as they frequently get, provided it is not as cold as ice. Most animals will en dure pretty severe cold as long as they can keep dry ; but as soon as their bodies have been wet, and are kept wet, evaporation com mences. And as evaporation is a cooling pro- Cess the heat of their bodies is carried away very rapidly ; and the sudden transmitiou from heat to cold chills them iu a very short time, and injures them more than a severe storm in winter. Animals will endure a very sudden change from cold to heat, with impunity ; but 6udden changes from heat to cold are often attended with very injurious consequences. We are apt to think because it is summer, or not freez ing weather, that a storm of rain will not hurt our animals. But could they communicate to ns their feelings duriDg the storm of cold rain there would not lie so much negligence about protecting them, especially during the cold and stormy days and nights of autumn. I well remember that about twenty years ago there was a severe raiu £storm in the month of Juno; and although our sheep had been sheared more than two weeks we tho't they ought to be brought home to the barn.— Bat many of them wt-re so cold and feeble iu consequence of the rain that it was necessary to go for them with a wagon. About the first of July, 1861, there was another very cold storm of rain, wh : ch swept away hundreds of sheep in the town where I reside. One lost about sixty of his ciioicests sheep, although they had been shear ed several days before the storm come on. I have heard of more than three huudred lost during the storm. It is infinitely better for animals to keep them in a stable or shed, where they cauuot get a mouthful of food for twelve successive hours, than to allow them to be exposed for only two hours to a storm of cold rain. When I was accustomed to keep sheep I was always careful to let them have the benefit of a shed, if they needed it, not only in winter but during summer ; and it was very unusual that our horses and neat cattle were left for one hour iu the field duriDg a cold storm.— Cold storms not only make horses look bad, but they do really injure them, by rendering them stiff aud dull ; and they often contract severe colds, which many times will superinduce catarrh aud glanders. Young calves and colts often suff.r extreme ly from exposure to cold storms, even in sum mer ; and to shelter them will be time and money well appropriated. " A merciful man regardetb the life of his beast."—S. E T. iu Country Gent. SALT TO SAVE MAM-RE. —Dissolve common sali in water, sprinkle tbe same over your ma nnre heap, nud the volatile partsof the ammo nia will become fixed salt, from their having united with the muriatic acid of the common salt, and the scda thu3 liberated from the salt will quickly absorb carbonic acid, forming car bonate of soda ; thus you will retain with your inauuro the ammouia that otherwise would fly away, and you also have a new and most im portant ageut introduced, viz; the carbonate of soda, which is a powerful solvent of all ve getable fibre. To REMOVE STAINS FROM THE HANDS.— Damp the hands first in water, then rub thorn with tartaric acid, or salt of leuions, as you would with soap ; rinse them, and rub them dry. Tartaric acid, or salt of lemons, will quickly remove stains from white mnsiin or lin ens. Put less thau half a teaspoonful of the 6alt or acid into a tablespoonful of water ; wet ft once or twice with cold water during the time. If this does not quite remove it, repeat the acid water, and lay it in the sun. CHICKEN SALID. —BoiI or roast a nice fowl. When cold cut off all tbe meat, and chop it a little, but not very small ; cut np a large branch of celery and mix with the chicken.— Boil four eggs hard, mash, mix them with sweet oil, pepper, salt and mustard, and a gill of vinegar. Beat the mixture very thorough ly together, and just before diuaer pour it over the chicken, tffk- Many persons have cured themselves of dyspepsia by not drinking even water with their meals.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition, Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink, And opposing, end them." THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude the public- As I have opened a Bindery on m v own ac count, the inference is that if the public bring tlieir binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded. For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he has taken great pains t > satisfy the public I was the " best Binder in America," as the columns of the Argue wil testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub lie :?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been th principal. But I refer to my work during that time a evidence that there has been no fraud practiced. Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery business, I have resumed business here on my own ac count,as 1 know of nothing which prevents me from fol lowing a legitimate and bawful calling for my support I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi ness to give public satisfaction.
