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

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. No animal, except mao, ever
drinks in connection with his food. Man ought
not to. Try it, dyspeptics, and yon will not

masticated and ensalivated before it is swallow

"To be, or not to be— hat is the question !
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.
