THIS subject is becoming one of especial in terest to farmers, and more particularly to tliose who own small farms, and are under the necessity of economising iu a rigid degree, in order to support their families. The principle and economy qf foiling is this, a- half an acno of land can easily be made to furnish green food for a cow or a horse during the season, till it becomes necessary to commence with winter feed in December,while it requires from an acre and a half to two acres of pasture to keep the same animal the Rem® length of time. Besides this gr< at sav ing of land, the manure of each animal soiled la worth the interest on two acres of land, at sso ! per acre, over what it would be on the common pasturage system. To offset a por tion of this advantage, we must take into the account the labor it requires to cat the greeo fodder and feed it out daily ; and yet 1 am inclined so believe this labor is no more than a fair equivalent fur the saving of time in diiv ing stock to pasture, and keeping the fences in a condition far more expensive than the soiling system requires. Indeed, on this a/s tem, fences may be dispensed with altogether, except euclosure and roadsides. Feuciug materials are now becoming an item of great expense to ail farmers, net only in the materials themselves, but also is the la bor of building the fences and keeping them in good repair. Moreover, the waste land that fences occupy (which is very considera ble,) on the soiling system may aii be cultivat ed—an item of considerable importance on small farms where the land is divided into small fields. To adopt tLis system with the best results, the land from which the green fodder is to couic should be adjointly the barn, level and very fertile ; and with the abundance of ma nure that is procured by soiling, there is no difficulty in making the land rich and produe live. The best article for soling is clover, and next to this is corn sown in drills or brood east, oats, millet, rye, sugar cane (sorghum) barley, Hungarian grass, and any variety of grass that grows tall and iuxuraut which E relished by 6tock. Sweet corn is the best to sow for soiling 1 have used a kind called " Darling's prolific," which is well adapted to this purpose on ac count of its thrifty growth and its tendency to tiller, or throw ont numerous suckers. Jt may be sown in drills about 18 inches apart with a seed sower. Cattie are kept in much better condition by soiling them. They are i often turned out to pasture too early in the ; spring, before the grass is sufficiently grown ! to afford them enough to satisfy their hunger, and if there happens to be early drouth they cannot thrive, and they will hardly get over! the effect of a bad winter's keeping before i they enter upon another. On the soring sys ; tern, a drouth does not seriously affected the stock, as their supply of fodutris always green ' succulent and abundant. Independent of all the considerations cf economy that I have named, cows gives much j moie milk when soiled, und yielded it mo:e regularly than when pastured, aud the waste ! of time, and the worrying cf cows in driving ! them to distaut fields in warm weather are avoided. What can be more injurious to a noble cow than to seud an unfeeling boy to drive her a half a mile to pasture every day during the summer, with the thermometer oi teu up to 39 degiecs, while perhaps she is worried by a dog, or pcuuded with a club, because she docs not happen to suit in her gate, or othe r wise, her driver ? Milk when thus heated by improper driving of cows does not produced as much cream as it does under other circumstances, which is a good argument in favor of the soiling system. Butter made from the milk ot soiled cows does not have that oily appearance which is so often tho case in warm weather, when oowa are driven to and from the pasture. Nor is there any difficulty in butter " corning" in the warmest weather, when soiled. A farmer in Wa!tham,Ma9s.,.is said to have made last season 386 lbs. of butter, from the milk of four cows, in thirteen weeks, fed on green fodder—chiefly grass, and corn sowed broadcast. The cows w ere not out of the barnyard during that time. Two o; the ani mals wero heifers only two years old, which bad calves in the spring, and the whole of the milk ofoue ot them was takeu by her calf during six weeks of the thirteen, and some of the milk of the other was used in the family ; from which circumstances it may be said that the four cows should not be rated-ut more than three ordinary one-. A yard should be connected with the barn of a size proportionate to the number of cat tle soiled. For a hail a dozeu cows, about a quarter of an acre is necessary, so that the weaker one 3 may not be annoyed by those that aro stronger and pugnacious. They should have an open shed to lie under in stor my weather during summer, aud in November they should be housed in their stalls at night. On this system of feeding, large quantities of roots can be fed to advantage. Indeed, let no-man think that he can derive the greatest possible profit from his live stock who does not grow root crops. Roots are the key to aii successful fartniug in England, and they are almost as important here. Carrots stand at the head of the li.>t here, but the turnips in Englund. Every Miich cows ahold be fed a half a bushel of carrots, at least, daily, from November till June, or some other equivalent root that does not uffeet the milk —T. 13. Miner, Cor. of (he Genesse Fo.rmer. TILLING ORCHARD LANDS. —It is doubtless well to cultivate the ground in which young orchards stand. By this, we mean that the laud is to be mauured and worked, as well as cropped. It is supposed, also, that in plow ing great pains is taken to guard against bark ing the young trees by the wbiffietree, or bav iug them gnawed or broken down by horses. But when the trees have arrived at bearing age, it is better to suspend plowing among the roots. The loss will be greater than the gain for it is impossible tc avoid looseuingand breaking the roots ; amd if this be done, it is sure to engender disease, stint the growth, and lead to premature decay. When an old or chard, having long Etood in sod, gets napping, moss grown, and scaulily fruitful, the best waj is to scarafy the surface with a harrow, and nfterwanl apply a good dressing of manure Agriculturist.

Normal Department —Special exercises are arranged without extra charge for those preparing themselves as Teachers of Common Sehools. Prof. C. R. COBURN, the able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued. He will also be present to conduct its exercises as often RS practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also on other subjects connected with Normal training. Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage to be present during the Fall term. Pro).
