Ther fire a rich and fine color to the cream lltt nothing else fed to cows ever equalled ; and in the winter a peck or half bushel, fed to cows dai!j is as good as, or better than an ordinary feed of meal ; and when we consider that from 500 to 1.000 bushels can be grown from aa acre, it needs no lengthy argament to fchow that they are profitable. "But," sits iarmer A, 'Tre tried growing tbrm, acd it rct roc mors to weed ibcui, than thcr wcie nutto." "Yes, 1 Luow how you managed. Von did not prepare jonr land for them, by hcarr manuring the previous rear, and growing a crop of potatoes on it, and thoroughly destroying the weeds. and allowing none to ro to seed. If you had done this, and had on man tre enough for two crops, your pota toes wouid bare paid all or more than the expenses, and then the land would hare been in good condition for the carrots, as it would not hare required any manure that season, and you would not hare found it trouble some and expensive to keep the weeds down. I hare frequently mixed the etd with sand and kept it moist a week, setting the pan in the sun by day, and in the house near the kitch en Gre by night, applying a little te pid waler from time to time, and s soon as the least sign of sprouting appeared, I had the land made ready, then I dried the seed ia the sun Lr spreading it on large trars, then sowed it by hand; and in three days it was abore the ground and the carrots grew rapidly ahead of the few weeds tbat appeared, and the crop was kept free of weeds with very little labor. Carrots require a deep, mellow soil, and Bhoold be sown in drills about 15 mcbes apart for hand hoeing and 30 mcbes to be cultivated with a horse. Sow at the time of planting corn, or a few dars earlier. MA!fOOI.T8, OB BEETS. Maogolis (sugar beets) are quite as proutable to grow as carrots. Tbey require the same rich, mellow soil free from an excess of weeds, to be sswn in drills 18 inches apart for hand hoeing, and 30 inches for the Lorse cultivator. Sow the seed with a seed sower, to drop about two inch cp apart The rariety tbat is the most profitable to grow is the yellow globe. Sow from early ia May to June 1st An acre often produces 1 ,000 bushels, to feed raw to cows and other cattle, aod cooked with meal to sviae.

The Scientific Farmer says: "Xo better index of what a plant reqaires to lie furnished it to feed upon can be found than a chemical analysis of the plant itself." It then gives the amount of nitrogen, patash, and phos phoric arid remored annually by cer tain crops on Massachusetts farms, ss follows: Averace 'yield, ilm. tr.dnt-ero.i l.wxa XV hent. i I.imx Potatoes, j ".W Kve, 1 l.w li';,T, l.ltM Gossman. Thirty years ago, Prof. Liebig, of Germany, promulgated this theory, as a discovery tbat would revolu tionize farming in Europe aod in the United States. All a farmer had to do, ia order to grow a good crop of anything, was first to look at the printed tables, and see what the ash of planu the straw or stocks when burned, contain by analysis, and then to apply those constitutents in the farm of commercial fertilizers. But the system was not considered complete, till every farmer should emfloy an agricultural chemist to analyze his soil, to ascertain what el ements of fertility were lacking in Ibcni. This theory is now being re rived, but there is nothing reliable ii it at least, nothing tbat produces the same results in various places in the same season. Tor instance, Mr. A. desires a fertilizer for Indian corn, bavin 5 no stable manure to spare, lie bays potash, nitrogen, and pbofpnoric acid, as supplied in pre pared commercial fertilizers, and bis crop is good; but bis neighbor nses tbe same fertilizer on the same kind of soil, but gets a rery poor crop, while another farmer gets a better crop of corn than either of them, by the use of a light coat of stable dang, and apnlvlnga little plaster at tbe first boeing. Tbe uncertainty of re sults in applying special fertilizers to crop, in view of what their ash con tain s by analysis, lies in tbe fact, tbat no man can tell, even by the most careful analysis, 'what inor ganic constitutents of a soil are lack ing, with any reliable degree of cer tainty. Well, what are farmers to do who hare not a supply of Stable manure ? If rou can purchase fertili izers tbat are truly rich in potash, nitrogen, and phosphoric acid, it will he safe to make a moderate m vest ment in tneni, as a trial of what they will produce, always bearing in mind that potash is the roost reliable of all special fertilizers. In dry seasons these fertilizers do bat little good.' X4.MF.SOF CJMMrRCIAl FERTILIZERS, Ac The most valuable commercial fertilizers are: Hone superphosphate, amnion! a'.eil, sells at abont$40 per ton. Peruvian guano sells at about $G0 per ton. Sulphate of potash sells at about $4 per 100 pounds. Nitrate of potash sells at about $ri .'.0 per 100 pounds. Muriate of potash sells at about $3 per 100 pounds: Snlbpate of ammonia sells at about Ji.'iO per 100 pounds. There are grades of these fertili sers that sell somewhat cheaper than tbe abare rate. All tbe plants re quire are ammonia, potash and phos phoric acid; and tbese are abund antly contained in first class grades of tbe abore fertilisers. To show that the thoory of special fertilizers being necessary for each crop grown is not reliable,' I call tbe attention of the readers to tbe fact tbat a Dum ber of dealers in fertilizers hare prep arations that they claim are equally good for eroj.. No matter what crop yon desire to grow, tbe one compound sold by each of tie deal ers "is just the thing you need," while writers who deal more ia theo jies than in facts, tell you that your fertilizers for, each crop mast be mix ed according to special formula, as a physician gires different medicines fur different diseases. Then farm ers are subject to beiug cheated In the article they bargain for as tbe most of tbe commercial fertilizers are adulterated. Yon boy a barrel of iXilro- Vol I Phosphoric Jrea. ,aeh.

Yon hire two men when yon and another ?oud hand ought to do all the work on rour place, except io tbe haying season. Then yoa bare too many errands to tbe rillage to lie proGuble. Tba other day I left yon in Brown's tavern talking politics; and as I passed yonr farm I saw your men ia tbe field lying under a shade tree, when they jumped op and one enquired if I had seen "tbe boss." I replied Myes," and that I kft him ia Brown's tarern. "Well" said one of tbem, we'll lie down again, as he wont be home till night, if yoa left bins, at Brown's." So yoa see hew important it is that yoa should be at home with your men. They eee how things are going, and take no interest ia yonr success as a faraier. Indeed, tbere is not one hired man ia ten who, will do as much work alone, or with other hands, as he will when his employer is working with him. Bat yoa not onlv leave roar men to waste their time, bat yoa also mismanage in al most anything. .Last week yoa threw a ton or two of bar oat of yoar barn, which had been so dam aged by leaks in tbe roof tbat it was worthless. A few shingles pnt on last summer would hare sared yoa th's loss. 1 oa remember, too, bow your corn crop waa almost destroyed last August by neighbor Smith's cat tle. Ilis half of the fence was in per feet order, and he notified too, he says, sereral times to repair your Dirt of it : and too did not do it till tea acres of corn were badly dam aged. And eo your entire business ia mismanaged. Yoa are always behind time in patting ia yoar crops ; half of yoar farm implements are out of repair; yoar swine are or tbe land-shark breed that nerer fatten ; yonr horses are so poorly fed that they can not do tbe work on tbe farm ; your cows are of tbe most unprofitable kind ; and eren your poultry is so poor a breed, tbat they run yoa in debt for feed orer the value of the rery few eggs they lay, and so yon see'why yoa can't pay the interest on .be mortgage tbat old Skinflint holds on yonr farm. GRAPES.' I hare often transplanted grape rines at late as the Grt of Jnne, af ter the leaves are as large as a dol lar, and they did well The leaves will and drop off. bat new ones wilt grow speedily : and ia the fall the rim are just as good if set earlier; but tbe proper time to .set tbem is io Mar before tbe rines bare leared out Never buy old rines, thinking to obtain a crop" of frnit a rear or two earlier than from those two and three years old, the limit in age that rines should be re-eet Cuttings set toprodace yoang rices should be shaded a little with bay or grass till they take root, which is not till late in Jane. When the thermometer is in the nineties in tbe shade, the heat of the son will often kill the bads of cuttings that hare not taken root As the canes to tbe old rines grow, so aa to be ia danger of being bro ken off by tbe high winds, they should be tied to the trellis ; and a watch kept on them till July, tying the new canes as needed.

RENOVATING PASTl'EE LANDS. A writer in tbe Country Gentle naa says: "I made an experiment with nitrate of soda and sulphate of lime on a coople of small pastures, using about 125 poands per acre of tbe first, and 100 poands of tbe sec ond. I bare repeated the operation with half tbe quantity this spring, 1 and can now show a growth of blue grass on tbe one and timothy on tbe othe', eq ! in depth of color to any whe tt Ce! 1 1 bare seen, and in quan tity -if herbage, thrngh not ia height (of e .arse) superior to all. Tbe pastures lat fall were fed down bare, butuda? bey cary grass enough to shame it best bine grass Gelds in the blue grass region, and I bare seea many thousand acres there da tbe present month. I feel that I can safelr recommend tbe use of these fertilizers to dairymen whose pantares bare become so impover ished that they mast bay more land or sell off stock, aod to those others who residing in thickly settled neigh borhoods, and ner large towns and cities, find the local acreage ia past ure lands diminished." These fertil izers can be obtained of dealers in them in all cities. Tbe expense per acre, as applied abore, will be about $6. It is a good plan to experiment with rarioas commercial fertilizers, as there is a rapidly growing interest in tbem ; and although there ia no guide tbat farmers can at present follow with a certainty of success in all cases, yet much practical knowl edge of tbe effects of these fertilizers on erery man's soil can be gained by making experiments wita tbem in small quantities.

CQrrcd 4t Oban wbicb I gie ia de- tail, bavin been an 'ere witness to the whole affair. I allude to the stranding and capture of the verita ble sea serpent ia front of tbe Cale donian hotel, George street, Oban. About four o'clock yesterday aa ani mal or Call, evidently of gigaatie size. was seea sporting in tba bay Heather Island. Iu appearance evi dently perplexed a large Dumber of spectators assembled on tbe pier, ana sereral telescopes were directed to ward it A careful look aausaed as that it was of tbe serpent species, it carrying iu bead full twenty feet above the water. - A number of boats were soon launched and proceeded to the bay, the crews armed with each weapons as cunld be got tianuy. Under the directions of Malcobu Nicholson, our boatman, they beaded the monster, and some of the boats were within thirty yards of it when it snddenly sprng half length out of water and made for the opening. A random fire from sereral rolonteers with rifles seemed to bare do effect upon it. Under Mr. Nicholson's orders tbe boats now ranged across tbe entrance of tbe bay, and by their screams aod shoots turned the mon ster's course, and it headed directly for the breast wall of tbe Great Western hotel. One boat containing Mr. Campbell, tbe fiscal, bad a most narrow escape, the animal actually rubbing against it Mr. Campbell and bis brother jumped overboard, and were picked up un hurt by Mr. John I. llardie, saddler, in his small yacht, the Flying Scud. Tbe animal seemed thoroughly frightened, and as tbe boa's closed in tbe rolantecrs were unable to fire, owing to tbe crowd assembled on the shore. At a little past six the mon ster took tbe ground oa the beach in front of the Caledonian hotel, in George street, and Disproportions are now fully risible. In his. frantic ex ertions, 'with his tail sweeping the beach, no one dared approach. Tbe stones were firing in all directions ; one seriously injured a man called Barney Berrow. aod another break ing tbe window of tbe Commercial bank. A party of volunteers nnder Lieutenant Menzie now assembled and fired volley after volley into tbe neck, according to tbe directions of Dr. Campbell, who did not wish, for scientiGc reasons, that tbe configu ration of the bead should be damaged. As tbere was a brirht moon, this continued till nearly ten o'clock, when Mr. Stevens, of tbe Commercial bank, waded in and fixed a strong rope to tbe animal's bead, and by tbe exertions of some seventy folk it was securely dragged above high water mark. lis exact appearance as it lies on the beach is as follows : The extreme length is 101 feet, and the thickest part is about 25 feet from tbe head, which is 11 feet in circum ference. At this part is fixed a pair of fins, which are 4 feet long by nearly 7 feet across tbe sides. Fur ther back is a large dorsal fin, ex tending for at least 12 or 13 feet, and 5 feet high in front, tapering to 1 foot Tbe tail is more of a flattened termination to tbe body than any thing else. The eyes are rery small in proportion and elongated, and gills cf tbe length of 2 feet behind. Tbere are no external ears, and as Dr. Campbell did not wish tbe animal handled till be communicated with some eminent scientific gentlemen we could not ascertain if there were teeth or not Great excitement is created, and country people are flocking in to new it This morning Mr. Duncan Clerk, writer, took possession of tbe monster, in the rights of Mr. M'Fce, of Appio, and Mr. James Nicol, writer, iu the name of the crown. Glafjow Nercs. A Wjruterlmra Skwee 4f ftrmle. On Friday night of last week it will be remembered, we experienced a tremendous rain-fall. It measured nearly one inch and a-half of solid water, of about three hundred tons in weight to erery square acre of ground. With this immense body of water which came from tbe clouds, all inside of twelre hours, there also fell orer a large cotton-field, near Bledsoe's landing, in Commerce bend, about fifty miles below this city, in Arkansas, a wonderful sbower of shark's scales. Tbe field, which con tains an area of fire or aix hundred acres, and perhaps more, was thickly strewn with tbe scales. This strange appearance attracted tbe attention of the field laborers early next morning, and many were collected as curiosi ties. One of the tMck, hard scales, in tbe form of a rectangular para'elogram, about three-fourths of an inch long and a half an inch wide, is now on exhibition at this office. Several persons who collected specimens of tbe shiny scales contemplate convert- iog them into breastpins or small buttons. How these odd substan ces were carried aloft among the! clouds, or what fanciful breezes caus ed tbem to be scattered among tbe Bledsoe Landing cotton Gelds, is one 1 ortnose tuiogs tbat bo person can find out just now.

Sandr nerer liked to ask to be ex cused, "it kicked op auch a row," ha informed Ned, aa they aat on tba fence while be finished bis supper. Evidently Ned had something to tell which grew funnier erery mo ment, for he gare rent to a series of anorta and fiaally jumped from tbe fence and stood on bis head in tba SBOW. j. . , "Come, Ned, tell a fellow what's op," said Sandy munching a dough nut Heels," answered Ned io a smoth ered roice, occasioned by a good deal of red woolen comforter ia his mouth ; doa'tyou see 'em 7" Sandy scraped the snow from the fence and commenced shaping it rig orously. His companion fell orer oa his back, gare two or three well aimed kicks at nothing and brought op at last on the horse-block, with a bright red spot oa either cheek and a patch of snow on top of bis cap, "Sandy, you know what a brick my ma is ?" Sandy nodded and went on hard ening his snowball. "But this last beau all. We're to hare a dinner party Christmas, the bushel of ns fire Pecks make a busbel, yoa know and everybody's to invite somebody and nobody's to know anything about it except father he's to be a Board of some kind." "Returning Board," suggested Sandy with a political air. Ned threw op bis cap, caugbt it on one foot as it came down, and yelled. "Hurrah for Senator Crane !" Sandy pulled off his mittens and commenced warming his snow ball with an injured look while bis com panion went on : "Fathers to bare all tbe names Christmas ere, and nobody's to know until tbe folks begin to come, andI say, Sandy " Ned lowered his roice and spoke confidentially, who do yoa suppose I'm going to inrite 7" "Me!" replied bandy, with enthu siasm. Ned went off into another series of explosions, ending with a double somersault which left him panting in tbe snow. Saody's patience gare away en tirelr, and the snow ball went whiz zing through the frosty air straight into Deacon Croft's garret window with a crash. - "See here, Ned, quit acting like a jomping-jack, and tell a fellow what yoa mean. ' I see old Croft poking round tbe garret with a candle ; let's go up stairs, and then you're got to settle down and talk straight" Tbere was a confused sound of boots and laughter on tbe back stairs, and the two boys locked themselves in Sandy's room, where Ned settled down and went into details. . "You see, Sandr, I cant rery well ask von, because it is to be a sort of chanty concern, aad Fan will be sure to air some of her Ragged School chaps, and we'd laugh. So I'm go ing to inrite about tbe slimmest look ing enstomer in town, and 1 want you to help me write him a note. Caa yoa guess 7" Sandy scratched his head aod then shook it despairingly. "I thought, may be, it was Bill Ratcbford or Sam Claycomb, bat they're both fat No ; I gire it up." Ned pat bis month close to bis companion's ear and tried to whisper, but it came out with a little snort "Old Gadgrind!" There was an unusual clatter of heels, furniture and fists, interspersed witb balf strangled yells from tbe back chamber, and Mrs. Crane open ed the ball door and said, "Sandy !" Ned stuffed the end of a pillow icf to bis moutb, and bis companion lay on the bed and writhed until tbe hall door closed again and Mrs. Crsne re turned to her guests. When ed Peck emerged from Sandy's room tbat night he bore tbe following note, copied by himself, with bis pea bld rery tight and his tooeue rery close to the paper, and addressed in an imposing school-boy band to "Iter.

But the reverend gentleman did not share ber anxiety, and tbe note lay on bia desk unopened until be had finished his weekly discourse no the "Methods of Sanctification," and read a chapter in Biblical Gen ealogies. Then his eye fell opon Ned's rather exaggerated flourishes, and he read tba iavitalion. : Just what the stately minister thought, I aca aot able to say, but that night tbe postman brought Ned a letter, which read as follows; , "Master Edward Peek.

A alight scuffle in, the front hall drew the company a entire attention to Kemp, who buret into the room excitedly, draggiog tbe most fur lot a little beadle of raps, aur mounted by ' a frightened dirty face with a pais of Sunken, hungry looking eyes. , ; "Here be itb, ma. I thaw bia. lookin' into the lakertn window, and he tbed be wath hungry, tbe I fethed bia along!" and Kemp sat dow a puffing and blowing like a broker who has .just made a down town ear. . . . . ; ,.: , - Mr. Peck patted the little uaeomb-! suddeolr. while Mrs. I'eck led the late arrival up stairs and brought him back presently clad in a cast-off suit of Kemp's own a little short ia tbe legs aod sleeves, it is true, but ample ia width before end behind. There was a certain damp odor of bathing soap about the newcomer and his rery moist hair was brushed up straight and fierce, but his fright had evidently given place to delight ed amazement It was growing late, and Ned's guest had. not yet appeared. Mis. Peck waa in the diaiog room, giving tbe finishing touches to tbe table, and Ned followed her. "I aay, ma, they're a slim looking set ain't they 7 But my old fellow beats 'em all for slim boards, yoa know ; reckon he nerer had a square meal in his life. Hooray ! there be comes? Tommy, make room for yoar annty." Ned re-entered tbe parlor jaat in lime to see the Rer. Gadgrind ush ered ia ; while Biddy retired behind tbe door to cbockle orer "tbe impi dence o the young monkey to think o' in villa' the praste!" There be stood straight and still aad dignified, in the centre of tbe floor, and Ned begad to feel very hot and uncomfortable. - But sister Fan ny held out ter hand So cordially and said with such a pleasant smile, "We hare invited in some little stran gers to dine, Mr. Gadgrind, and Ned thought yoa would enjoy it," that Ned mentally pronounced Fan, "a brick" and resolved to make her "a boss" croquet ground next summer. It was a straage new world to the sta.ely minister, that little circle with its wonderful contract cf pinched and rosy faces tbe gubrus hearth, the Christmas cheer, .the warm-heart ed kindness of everr one: for even Ned bad bidden his embarrassment by winding op Lute's walking doll for tbe amusement ot the party. Aod I think there was a mist behind tbe gold-rimmed glasses; a mist which did not disappear when Mr. Peck returned, and Biddy's announce ment of dioner was followed by Su garplum taking tbe minister's finger in bis soft, moist little hand and say, "Tom on, Mr. Daddined." It would take a readier pen than mine to tell everything which hap pened at tbat wonderful dinnerparty. ilow feugarplutn said "Amen" with a sigh of relief before Mr. Gadgrind bad finished tbe grace. How John ate with bis knife aad dropped bis fork by turns till Biddy told him, in a whisper audible to no one else but Ned, to "ate wid his fork and dbrop ois anite awhile." Uow Kemp's guest choked twice on cranberry sauce, until his companion advised bim to "juth go thlow till dethert." How Lute's litllo stranger insisted opon piling everything beside ber plate, "To take to grandma," till good Mrs. Peck assured her that grandma should not be forgotten. How busie Lane, who sat beside the minister, raided her shining eyes and said softly: "It is just like heaven, isn't it, sir:" Tbe mist behind the gold-rimmed glasses grew thicker, till something very much like a tear fell over tbe minister's cheek. And then-when dinner was really over and tbe browa paper parcels were opened, what a merry, merry time they all bad ; Ilow red John's face grew orer bis six handkerchiefs and new buckskin gloves. How Susie Lane fairly cried from excess of jcy when she saw her three story books bound in red, blue and green. Uow Kemp's friend polled his shin ing fur cap down tight over his brist ling locks, and could ot be induced to take it off during tbe remainder of his stay not even when Kemp told him tbere was a sil"er quarter and a pop-gun in tbe crown. How Lute's companion kissed her new scarlet hood and hngged ber rubber doll by turns, and how ererybody laughed and chatted and looked happy, while liiddy stood in tba bail and wiped ber eyes with her apron and declared it "the puniest sight inurely !" It was tbe minister who- carried Susie Lane down the broad stone steps that evening and laid her in the carriage by Fanny's side so ten derly, while- Ned followed with a basket of dainties tor tee card-work ing mother at home ; and Late st3od ia tbe door watching a scarlet hood and trailing shawl disappear in the Might ...... When the Rev. Mr. Gadgrind went to hi study that night he laid away t is ter nun on the "Ale t coda o Saoetification" rery carefully and eommeiiced another; and his text was "The greatest of tbese Is Cbari- "After all," said Ned to Sandr Crane as ibey eat oa tba back fence that oigat, ' it teamed to do tbe minis ter about aa much rood aa ao of 'em.
