He neglects to ivccp the dung and ground from the sills of his buildings, lie sows and plants his land till it is exhausted before ho thinks of manuring. He keeps too much stock, and many of them are un ruly. He has a place for nothing and nothing in its place. If he wants a gim blet, a chisel or a hammer, he cannot find it. He seldom does any thing in stormy weather, or in an evening. You w ill often perhaps hear of his being in the bar room talking of hard times. Although he has been on a piece of land twenty years, ask him for grafted apples, aud lie will tell you that he could not raise them for he never had any luck. His indolence and careless ness subject him to many accidents. He loses cider for want of a hoop ; his plough breaks in his hurry to get in his seed in season because it was not housed, and in harvest time, when he is at work on a distant part of his farm, the hogs break into his garden, for want of a small repair in his fence.

You will see the smoke come out of his chimney long after daylight in winter. His horse stable is not daily cleansed, nor his horse curried. Boards, shingles, and clapboards are to be seen oil his build ings, month after month without being replaced, and his windows are full of rags. He feeds his hogs and his hor ses with whole grain. If his lambs die, or the wool comes oil his sheep, he does not think it is for want of care or food. He is generally a great borrow er, and seldom returns the thing bor rowed. He is a poor husband, a poor father, a poor neighbor, a poor citizen, and a poor christian. Salt Tor Animal. The importance of furnishing salt to domestic animals, does not appear to be sufficiently understood. Though all are aware of the avidity with which animals cat it when given them : Of its value for animals in a medicinal point of view, the following fact, stated by the celebrated Curwcn, must be deem cd decisive: Before I commenced giving my cat tle salt, my farrier's bill averaged 58 pounds per annum, (or more than "250 dollars,) and since 1 have used salt, 1 have never paid in any one year over live shillings.' Where cattle have access to sheds, troughs with a constant supply of salt in them, should be kept for their use. Where they must be salted in the fields troughs should be placed, and salt sup plied frequently. There w ill, in exposed troughs always be more or less from rain, but that should not prevent a sup ply. It has been found an excellent practice where sheep alone come to the troughs, to put a little tar on the bottom and sprinkle the salt upon it. In this way a small portion of the tar is taken with the salt, and is not only found con ducive to health, but rubbed in this way over the nose serve to prevent the at tacks of the Estrusovis or sheep-fly. Albany Cultivator. The Maine Cultivator, an excellent agricultural paper, published at Hal lowcll, Maine, a short time since gave an account of the recent discovery re specting the transmutation of the Ciili flower tubers into potatoes. Mr. Cole man, the agricultural commissioner of Massachusetts, having expressed some doubts in relation to the facts, the edi tor of the Cultivator, in his reply, from which the following is extracted, says : "The facts in relation to this singular production are those. Mr. Smiley, a farmer of Augusta, and known to be an honest and worthy man, gathered half a dozen of the lateral tubers that pro jected from the stem of the Gillitlowcr, which was cultivated by the females of his. family, and prcservod them over Mnter. Iho noxt spring he prepared a bed and planted them out in a single drill, the location of each seed being in dicated by a small stick thrust into the earth by tho sido of each tuber, lie watched for their germination by dig ging down to them. In due time he saw sprouted. These sprouts he watched from time to time till thoy broke ground; after which he cultivated them careful ly. On pulling them up in autumn, he lound half a peck of good sized pota toes attached to the roots. He says there can be " no mistake" of the fact Every liability to mistake, he can satis factorily obviate. The lady from whom the seeds were obtained had noticed the same results under her culture. A neighboring farmer had tried the same experiment, with the same results. All these are responsible and very credible witnesses. Aow what shall we say that they were all mistaken? This they will not believe. They know bet ter. Such a denial, indeed, might be an easy way to dispose of the subject ; but it will not satisfy a reasonable demand in the case. We know nature plays strange freaks sometimes. rew sjhj cies sometimes start out from strange parents.

A ISitlllaiit Stucco Whitewash. Many have probably often heard of the brilliant and lasting whitewash up on the East end of the President's House at Washington city. The fol lowing is a correct recipe for making it : recipe. Take clean lumps of well burnt lime, (say five or six quarts,) slack the same with hot water in a tub, (covered, to keep in the steam,) pass it in the fluid form through a fine scive ; add one fourth of a pound of whiting or burnt alum, pulverized; one pound of good sugar; three pints of rice flour, made into a thin and well boiled paste, and one pound of clean glue, dissolved by first soaking it well, and then putting it into a small kettle, which should again be put into a larger one filled with wa ter, and placed over a slow fire. Add five gallons of hot water to the whole mixture. This wash is applied, where particu lar neatness is required, with a pain ter's brush. It must be put on while warm, if upon the outside of the build ing if w ithin doors cold. It will rc tain its brilliancy for many years. There is nothing of the kind that will compare with it. About one pint of this mixture will cover a square yard upon the outside of a house, if properly adplied. If a larger quantity than five gallons is wanted, ihe same proportions must be observed in preparing. Color ing matter may be added, to give it any required shade. Will some one try it, and communi cate the result. Genesee Partner. Hoot Tor Cuttle Have you a good stock of mangel wurtscls and carrots in your cellar, for your milk cows the coining winter? If you have you arc a wise and a luckv man. If you have not, it is too late now to provide them, but make your calculations to sow the seeds of them iberally next spring. You will never complain that you have too many of such roots for your stock. Cows, oxen, liorscs and sheep actually need green food in winter as much as in summer ; nit, brought to this climate, this neces sity cannot be provided for unless you seasonably supply their natural wants witn a liberal supply id nutricious roots. It is an absolute cruelty to keep stock on dry hay six months in a year. LMaine Cultivator. P.mxt J'or Blildixgs. Mcchanii s all have their own wavs of doing mat ters, and too often try to make work look well without much durability. Spirits of turpentine is used most pro' fuscly in paints, when there exists the following serious objections to it : 1st It is an extra cost, and sdly, It decom poses and drives the oil into the wood, so that the paint on a little exposure to the weather cracks and falls off. The only apparent advantage in it is, that it dries the paint sooner than w hen it is put on without turpentine. Some of the most experienced men of the country, now have paint put on with oil alone, without even boiling, and find that it adheres well and remains a sound coat much longer than when put on in anv other way.
