FATTEXI.VU AXi.MAI.B. Ifa person ten years ago had said anything about futtcninjr oniinnla scientifically, ho would have been very much ridiculed. Still there in such a thing aa applying science to making pot k or beef. It has long been known that certain kinds of food would tiiako nn animal fatten very fast, while others would only keep them thrifty. The analysis of the various gains and articles of (iiml used shows the reason, and demonstrates fully the importance ol a knowledge of the c lnments it contain. To enable the readers of the American to judge for thcint-clves I havo prepared a table compiled from various books and papers, hIiovv ing the Flesh forming principle, and the Fat forming principle, in some of the leading arti cles used for animal food. Contents of Flesh-forminc Fat-forming 100 pounds principle. principle. Peas 2! 151 ..lieans, .11 ,v Oats 10$ fis liarley, 14 OS Hay,.. 8 f,s Turnips 1 n Potatoes,... 2 21 j Carrots, 2 jo K. J!eets,... 1 J In. Corn,... j 77 Ily ill is table it appears that there is a great difference in the capacity if the diflerent kinds oflbodto form (lctli or lat. Peas, for instance, contains the most of the flesh-forming principle, and corn the let. While on the other hand, corn possesses Ihe largeht amount of t'at-lorining principle of any grain grown. Corn contains 9 per cent, of oil. In this instance the analysis of the chemist agrees with the experience of the former. For we all know that any animal will grow rapidly upon pulse, oats and barley, hut that they will fatten much faster upon corn. Ily mixing the food, and fomenting, so that it will bo in the best possible state to assimilate itselt in the stomach, the fanner can apply his feed to the best advantage. If he wish to promote the growth, feed less of coin and iKittitnos ; if lie wish to (atten fast, give a greater proportion of corn. Put we lenrn another important fact, viz: the fattening principle is in proportion to the oil contained in the article ted. 'Phis we know u!h by an experience, for hogs which feed up on nuts, especially beech nuts, become very fat. and the nuts contain n large probation of oil. Hence it is in the power of the liirnirr by raising I and feeding seed that contain a large quantity i of oil, to fatten his animal much faster than by j the old )rjeess. Sunflower seeds contain, it is , sai.l, Ill per cent, of oil. Ily mixing ami grind ; ing H small quantity of these seeds Willi oilier food, it would materially hu.-teli the fattening J procesr.

It was a lank, sharp featured tnaji, clad in a linsey woolsey, w ith a white felt hat on his bend, and an enormous twisted stick io his hand. He was looking about hint with a shrewd gaze, in which inquisitiveness and contempt were strangely mingled.

After this announcement, the hucc stick wns planted very sturdily and the spectral fi oure drawn up to its utmost tension as if challenging contradiction.

That was the first step in a series of steps dowuwnid. I went home every night with i ileas, and when in 1I13 morning I arose, it soon became iieeesiry, after a kind of waking giddy doze through the forenoon, to go to the side lioard.

A single green tree, right ly considered, is n mercy to mankind. Yet, so multiplied are these mercies, that like the de scending light and tho balmy nir, we consider them not. We count not what we linvc, hut what we have not. The green tree ! See in how nmny unre iiicmbcud ways it administers to our happiness. Go to the room of tin invalid, where the win dow oppns on a solitary tree. Its soft green relieves his wearied ryes, and ns the grnllft breeze bends its limbs and Pirn? up its Vt.vps, the world seems to lose itsnoi-y monotony, and a glimpse opens of a brighter and bettor pla.-e. Go again to the tainting traveller on tho sanl of Africa thirsty, exhausted, despairing, ho catches at last the sight of a palm, who-egrera foliage spreads like a heaven before his rejoic ing soul. He reaches its shade and is happy. He drinks of the spring at its foot, is renewed, nod goeson his way in the vigor of strength. Look on the bruaJ branching cedar on tha mountain of Judea. Its evergreen fuliagij i like the eternal hope in the bosom ot its ancient inhabitants, that again, its glory restored, Ju dea shall become the home of the Jew and Gc;i tile. I,ook on the lolly oak 0! our western p'.uin, the deep cypress, which waves its ancient trunk over the ruins of .Mexico, and the tall pine, which lip s its deep green head ndove the liccky Mountains ; all, everywhere, seem to aspire a l.'ovn the dross of earth, to raise their brows to- ware, the slues, anil bailie tl.nr lr?e limbs tn a P'ircr air. There is a nobleness, in the majestic oak, and n beauty in the lovely ncacin, which we e mtio: lo.-k upon w ithout mini ration. There :s no temple of enrtii more splendid than the full grown forest, yet we have never loved the clus tered ttees so much ns we have when wehavM seen a single pine, or a sol.tary oak present it self in the lonely glory, streirj'h and beauty of its natural conformation, showing i:i all its parts I bow perfect was the wisdom of its Creator, and how admirable his handiwuik.
