farm C.irtmt & Bitrbfii. I3f* Farmers, and Agricultural men generally are reque-ted to contribute to 'bis Department, as it Is from their experience that we hope to gain some thing of interest for our readers. RCLKS FOR FARMERS— I. The farmer ought to rise early, to see that others do so and that both his example be followed and his orders obeyed. 2. The whole farm should be regularly in spected. and not only every field examined, but every beast seen at least once a day. 3. In a considerable farm it is of the ut most consequence to have hands especially appropriated for each of the most important departments of labor, for there is often a great loss of time where persons are frequent ly changing their employments, and the work is not executed so well. 4. Every means should be thought of to diminish labor or to increase its power. For instance, by proper arrangement, five horses may do as much labor as six perform, accor ding to the usual mode of employing them. 5. A farmer never ought to engage in a work,whether of ordinary practice or intend ed improvements, except after the most care ful inquiries ; but when begun he ought to proceod in it with much attention and perse verance, until he has given it a fair trial. 6. It is a main object in management not to attempt too much,and never to begin work without a probability of finishing it in due season. 7. Every farmer should have a book for inserting all those useful hints which are so constantly ocuuring in conversation, in books, in papers, and gathered in the coursa of his reading, or in a practical management of the farm. UKDERDRAIMXU PREVENTING DROUTH.— A neighbor recently expressed his great surprise at the result of an accidental exper iment winch he had performed this season.— The country, it is well known, has suffered severely in some places for want of rain and the result therefore the more striking. He planted a small field with potatoes, one row of which was immediately over an under drain. Here he expected .to find the Soil the dryest, and potatoes dried up for the want of moisture. He found exactly the re yerse—this row yielding about double the others. The drain had prevented the soil from becoming water-soaked in Spring and baking hard in Summer, and kopt it loose and porous. The increased depth to which it had been worked in digging the d'tch had added to the increase of the crop. This was a simple convincin • experiment of the com bined advantages of subsoiling and. draining. Country Gentleman. TAKE CARE OF THE TREES. —Nothing is so attractive to the traveler as fine country residences ; and how much might be added to the appearance of many, indeed most farms, if proper attention were paid to the planting of shade trees in their appropriate places. They are something for the eye to feast upon ; they please the ltnagiuator, cheer the heart, and bring with them the associations ufhappiness. Sociality, refine ment, and learning follow in the train of rnral improvement. Nothing contributes in our estimation so much to the pleasant ness of a place as the presence of trees; and surely no luxury of hall the'r value can be procured for the same price.—Horticul turist. How TO FRE-HEN SALT FlSH. —Manv persons who aie in the habit of freshening mackerel or salt fish, never dream that there is a right and a wrong way to do it. Any oae who has seen the process of evaporation going on at the sa't-worko, knows that salt falls to the bottom. Just so it is in the pan where your mackerel or whi'e fish lies soak ing ; and as it lies with skin and side down, the salt will fall to the skin, and remain there, when if placed with the flesh side down, the salt falls to the bottom ol the pan, and the fish coaies ont freshened asitshould; In the other case it is nearly as salt as when put in. If you do not believe this, test the matter for yt urselves. SELECTING SHEEP.— The most approved form in sheep is general roundness of shape and fineness of bone. The chest should be broad, the ribs well arched, the back and loins broad, flat and straight ; the limbs should be short in proportion to the body, the head small, the eats thin, the skin' solt and elastic, the wool soft to the touch, thick and coming well forward to the face but not covering it. The face and forehead should be clothed with short hair, and the eyes should have a lively expression. A Correspondent of the Western Rural saja that crib-biting in horses is no "vicious hab it," as generally helieved, but simply an instinctive effort to relieve pain caused by the teeth of the animal being crowded together and that the proper remedy i 6 to run a very thin file between the teeth which press to gether. RATS. —Catch a rat alive, smear him with kerosene oil, and let him go, It is said will drive all the rats away. Or, a little coft pot ash spread near their holes will make their feet smart, and as they seek relief by licking tbem, both mouth and feet will become sore and the rats will abandon the premises in disgust. S. E. Cole, Steuben Co., N. Y., says he never failed to cure poll-evil by first ' wash irg the sore clean with warm soapsuds, and theD sprinkling on a teaspoonful of saleratus once a day until a cure is effected, which will be speedy. Jlow TO FATTEN GEERE —An Irish agri cultural paper says the best way to fatten geese is to put three or foflT in a darkened room, and give each bird ono pound of oata daily, thrown in a pan of water. In fourteen days they willbe found almost t(o fat. Nev er shut up less than two together, as they pine if left aloof. 3-isrfllaitfflus. A WESTERN R R. Winter Arrangement—lßoT-8.
