Sbcep Ilusbanclry. At a discussion held at the New York State Fair on the above named subject, we find the following in the Geu. Farmer. Solon Robinson, of New York, said Mr. Thomas Bell, of N. J.', usually kept 100 fine sheep. lie buys common sheep of lather large size in the fall, and crosses them with a full-blooded Southdown. The lambs are dropped about the 1st of April. The ewes in the fall cost from $2,25 to $3,50 per head. He selects the best and pays the highest cash price. lie has good August pasture, and be keeps the sheep well, so that they go into winter quarters in good condition. In the winter he keeps them in yards, with open sheds, 50 in a yard, with feeding racks, or lie in the open air as they see fit. lie feeds thcoj almost entirely upon corn stalks, cut ! up at the ground as soon as the corn is hard enough to ripen in the stock. lie docs not chaff the cornstalks. The sheep eat off the leaves, and the butts serve for beddiog. A few weeks before lambing, the ewes that are' heavy are drawn out by themselves, are fed with good hay and a little grain. IIo sel dom loses a lamb. By the end of July he has hisjaaibs, which are 6trongly marked by the Southdown chara cteristic, all sent off to the butcLer. This year he obtained $4,45 per head for them. After the lambs are wea ned they get fat, and are sold to the butcher ia time to take oa a new supply. Tbey have just been sold this year, and he netted from lambs, wool and old sheep, a profit of $7,50 per head, over the first cost of the sheep. The y ar before he made a profit of $7 per Lead. Besides this, he finds that tb; sheep are enriching his land. Vegetable Garden. One of the most important operations in the garden is frfqjcnt stirring of the soil. & the facility presented for this periodical cul ture is oL-e of the strongest arguments in fa vor of driil cropping as opposed t the now almost ab-olute system of broad cast. The frequent anl thorough stirring of the soil around growing erops, not only keeps weeds under s jlj.-ction, but allows the gasses of the atnirr-ht-re to reach the soil surr ounuicg the j . . ! roois of Uot, facilitating the decomposition a:.J nreraration of the food of tracts. Such 4. I tender crops as Lima beans, Ejg plant, and Sweet potatoes, should not be set out too ear- j ly let the soil be warm ana active, ana a rapid, healthy, active growth will ensue. The best mode of preventing injury to melon viues from striped bugs, which we have tried, is to enclose a small space around the young plant, either by placing four bricks oa edge. in iae secu ocm. h "ttuc""" lich, libt soil, on a shelter border for two or three weeks, previous to final removal, they j will form a mass of roots, an 1 assume a stoc ! key habit of growth characteristic of future ' health, and rapid recovery after being trans- plauted. ' Tan Ilark for Iotate. This subiect is brought before the farmers Mr. B- Banford claims thirty years expe rience in this matter ; and has issued a pam phlet giving his method of using it, which is briefly stated as follows He does not cut his potatoes for setting, but sets them whole; and the. largest he can select. The rows are thirty inches apart, and the potatoes are put nine inches from each other in the tow. The land is ploughed 8 ! inches deep;- and treada the manure firmly in the furrows, puts in the tubers, and cov ers them with tan refuse nine inches deep, instead of earthing. In this way he reports that in 1859 he raised 675 bushels of pota toesnot a rotten one among them to tho acre, with nothing but waste tan as a cover ing. This is of great importance, the tan re fuse beiny of little or no value, and if it be put to, so important advantage as in this case, it should be widely known and practised - Salt to tare Manure. Dissolve common salt in water, pprinkle the same over your manure heap, and the vola tile parts of the ammonia will become fixed ialt, from their having united with the mu riatic acid of the common salt ; and the soda thus liberated from the salt will quickly ab sorb carbonate of soda ; thus you will retain with your manure the ammonia thut would otherwise fly away.

For truth, tenderness, and melody, they are incompara ble I often think each tottering form That limps along in life's decline. Once bore a heart as young, as warm. As full of idle thoughts as mine! And each has had its dream of joy. His own unequall'd pure romance; Commencing when the blushing boy First thrills at lovely woman's glance. And each could tell his tale of youth; Would think its scenes of love evince More passion, more unearthly truth. Yes they could tell of tender lays Al midnight penned in classic shades, Of days more bright than modern days And maids more fair that modern maids. Of whispers in a willing ear, Of kisses on a blushing cheek; Each kiss, each whisper, far too dear. For modern lips to give or speak. Ot prospects too, untimely crossed, Of passion slighted or betrayed Of kindred spirits early lost. And buds that blossomed but to fade. Of beaming eyes anl tressess gay, Elastic form and noble brow. And charms that all have patsed away. And left them what we see them now! And is it thus ? is human love So very light and frail a thing ? And rnuit youth's brightest visions move For ever on Time's reotlc-ss wing ? Must all the eyes that still are bright, And all the lips tbit talk of bluss, And all the forms so fair to sight. Hereafter ouly come to this ? Then what are earth's best visious worth, If we at lenth must lose them thus ? If all we value most on earth, Ere long must fade away from us ? A STORY OF THE FAR WEST. THE TRAPPER'S CABIN. a legend of the p&aikie. " 1 womler not," said the, in reply, " that it seems strango to you. It will seem stran ger still when I tell you that I have live! here already for four long years, and in ail that iiuiO cecn none tat Indian fciriles, r.d bo sides yourself but two white men," and she heaved a deep, loog sigh. " Pardon rue," said Hugh, "for askmg why you thus seclude yourself, so far from civilization and society ? ' Sho hesitated a moment, then answered in a low. gad tone: " The love I cherish for an unfortunate father," and there was an instinc tive shrinking that made Hugh teel, plaiuer than words would have done, that the subject j was a painful one. Hu'h adroitly changed the conversation, but listened eagerly w bile she told Lim of the wild adventures that had characterized their life, and many strange and beautiful things that had bordered their pathway. She pic tured to him the vast stretch of prairie that surrounded them, and discoursed most elo quently of its green and flowery charms thro the sprmg and summer, ot its goluen nues in autumn, when the first light frost had crisped ' its wavering grass, of its fearful magnificence j when the crimson billows of flame surged over it, and of its sullen, aea-like grandeur when the snow was heaped in its hollows and crest ed in its ridge. Then she told him of the glory of the woodland whlclTJay o.ily a little j way to the west of their cabin, and the beau ty of the softly flowing Des Moines, whose waters were of crystal clearness, and whose banks were as rich in agate and pear-like shell. Then she sketched the Indian warrior whose hunting grounds were as yet all around them, and whosa dusky bride had oftea tarri ed beside their hearth, teaching her wild wood arts, and weaving sometimes for her hair a graceful wreath from the silver plumes of the rainbow-colored birds that were flatter ing in the old tree-tops. "And do you fancy suoh companionship? Have you no fear of Indian stratagems and Indian cruelties?" asked Huh. A shudder ran over the youug girl, and her face grew suddenly very pale, and she looked timidly around her ere she replied : " Until a month ago I had never known fear," paid she, " for the Indian, if met with kindness, is as much, nay, more to be depen ded on than are our brothers. But now, I live in constant terror. My father has of fended one of the young chiefs, and the con sequences I feel will bo fatal to him or me and perhaps both. My father has realized it too. and since then, until to-day. has not ven tured out of sight of home. But though he has carefully sought traces of Indian steps, he has in all that time seen noue, and so this morning, noting by his keen eye the approach of a fearful storm, he went to his old hunting hut in the timber. The deer, you know, al ways rush to the woodland for shelter, and he expected to kill enough to-day to last us thro the season. But I feel thai he has run a fearful risk." And you feared, knowing your red friends were incensed against you, to stay, here all alone," exclaimed her listener. "I wonder that you consented to let mo in. Did you not fear it might be some Indian in disguise ?" An Indian .could not 6peak as you did. sir," she replied, "and if my own senses had misled me, these trusty friends would have proved true ;" and she pointed to the dogs. They can scent an Indian as far as he can one of the pale faces They are well trained too. My father received them as a dyicgyft from the old trapper who lived in th cabin when he came ; and he bad trained them well, for th eountry was much wilder then than now. Vould you believe it though, they will bark ic their very loudest tones when a white man cornea near, but they will not breathe a sound if it be an Indian ; but if you are awake they will come and stand before you aud look at you ith a glance, which, if once seen, can never l?8 forgotten ; while if asleep, tbey will awaken you in the most cautious way, warn you oT the danger with much eloquence. Oh, they are two noble, precious friends!" she said, i ttiog them fondly. They crouched by Ir r feet afterwards, and burying her little .;jccasin3 in their shaggy sides, she wc-ze jjhevl ou her hand and seemed to dreain. Huh mused for a long time on his strange adveoitire, and then feeling very weak again, he noiselessly heaped fresh fox-Lon the fire and stole, vff to his couch of buffalo robes His dreau were at first wild and fearful and then straofly fantastic, and then sadly b.autiful ; for, iA every variation of the shifting scenes the face of Eleanor, pale, yet lovely and lov ing. Voked up to him with an entreating fondotlss.- Then a dense black cloud covered her kaeeliog form, and as it parted he seemed to be lying on a bed of roses with the check of tlu maiden pressed close to his lips. As he reached out his arms to enshrine her in a fond Embrace he awoke ; and lo, with her face close to his own was she of whom he had dreamed. He uttered a cry half of joy. In an instant a warning finger was pressed to bis lips, and in almost inaudible t jnes she mur mured : For your life breathe not a loud word ! Listen ! There are Indians about. TLev surround u. but I cannot guess their mode of attack. Rise and arm yourself, and then creep into the darkest corner. Be careful and make not the least noise for they are a weary foe. They thiifk me alone. Oh !" the ex claimed, and she pressed bar heart convul sively, 'they have doubtbss slain uiy kind fa ther, and would now bear off his daughter to the wigwam of their chief !' Il'jjjh was a gallant fellow. He had won brilliant laurels on the battle-field, and felt the war spit it strong within him again, as he leaped up and prepared himself to encounter a new foe. He carried a trace of pistols aud a double-barreled fowling piece, and with a soldier's thoughtfulntss, he had immediately afser supper withdrawn thedaujp charges anl dried the three before the fire. It was s-h.rt work for him to reload them now, aud bc?i les these be loaded a pair of pistols which the trarer's daughter hau Jed hini. He then ua sbey.hcd his huutiog knife aud felt his blaie to jfce sure tbst it was kesu uud polished And then he looked for a spot where hecoaU ! ambuscade himself and arms A I.tiie tent bed occupied one of the recesses which the huge fire place formed on both sides and this was draped with deer skins dres-sed to a beau tiful whiteness. In that he cnccouccd him self, while Eleanor threw herself on the couch he left, feigning sleep but clutching uervou ly her pistols. Hugh's ear was keen, but althitiirh the tempest had lullel, and ouly an occasioual wild sob ran round the cabin, he coull detect no sounds that told of human foes. Af;er a while the howl of a wolf was heard. As it died away he saw the two dogs leave the door, beside which tbey stood like petrifactions, and advaccc cautiously to the hearth, and theu it seemed to the listener that a dull soucd was heard on the roof. It instantly occurred to him that the foe would strive to make their ingress down the chimney, thinking, doubt less, to Cod their captive alone and asleep, and fetter her with little trouble. Through the loophole, which was a slit in the hanging, he watched (oh, how intently!) the hue fire place, whose brands bad all burned down to emberj. After a while his heart leaped up with a strange, wild thrill, as he saw a moc casined foot appear. The dogs saw it quite as soon as ho, aod withdrew at once to the tide of their mistress. Very cautiously did the Iadian descend, but at length he landed safely and uoiselosbly. But no sooner had he shaken aud stretched himself out to his full dimensions, ridding himself of the cramps wilh which bis descent had tortured him, tbau tho largest of the dogs, without a single warn ing growl, dashed at his throat, and clenched it with such a convulsive hold that the savage fell with a dull, dead sound, lhe other djg fastened himself to his knees, and alihough he struggled violently, yet the surprise was too sudcien, and the attack too strange and powerful for the victim to make at once a successful resistance. Hugh felt that the time for action was come, but not wishiotT to alarm the Indians who might be outside, he left his retreat with ouly his knife, which was soon hurried deep iu the heart of the red man. There was a quiver of the muscles, a fctifled groan, and he lay dead before him. Eleanor sprang from Ler couch and gazed earnestly at him, then turn ing to Hugh said quickly, ' It is as I suppo sed. This is Wa-wa-tu-sa, the friend of ili-wa-see, the young chief who sought mo for a bride. He baa thought to enter this way aud open the door for him and bis other braves. Get back for they will soon suspect soma foul play." It was as she said. The door was cautious ly handled, aud then the notes of a bird went whistling around the cabin, and then all was still. But the soldier s car, keeuer by dis trust, soon noted the same dull eouud on the roof, aud as it continued longer than before, he judged correctly that the remaining sava ges, thinking that something bad befallen their spy. were coming iu their whole strength up on them. With one of his pistols cocked and pointed through the loophole, he watched in tently. It was not log ere a second .foe had descended and bent with an amazed look over his prostrate friend. As he lifted up his head he gave a tremendous whoop ; but it was the last sound that ever burst from his Hps a shot from the soldier's pistol entered his heart. Then rushing from his conceal ment, Hugh stationed himself before the ouch of Eleanor, handing her hie pistol, bade her reload at once. He had scarcely reached her when a third Indian ppraog rather than crept down the ori fice; but as he straightened himself after his leap, a fall charge from the fowling-piece threw him upon the other two, a heavy and soon cold burden The fourth warrior that descended was not so easily overcome. It was Hi-wa-see himself, and burning with love for the white girl, and rage toward her de fender, who had slain his best braves, he sprang so suddenly on Hush that bis gun was knocked from his hand, and in an instant he was wrestling with the brawny Indian. The dogs fastened themswlves on their intruder's legs, but their bite, fierce and intent a9 it was seemed not t annoy him in the least, and Hugh was fast yielding to the superior physi cal fortu of his foe, when a pistol shot echoed through the cabin, and be felt his enemy's grasp relax and the warm blood oozing from his breast and dripping over his own hands. " You have played a brave part," said Hugh, and releasing himself he beheld the In dian reel and finally to fall to the floor. "Your Indian lover wiil never aain throw his to mahawk, or sing to his belt the gr tcalp. Good heavens, but it is a fearful siht!" . There came a f&nt whisper from Hi-wa-see. Eleanor went ard knelt beside him. aod wiped away the death-dews which her own hand had started. "Proud white father." breathed h", "think Indian no good oo fit to have bis pale child in wigwam of chief's son. Hi-wa-see say she snail.

There was no time to lose, for Hi wa-see wi? the son of a powerful Dacotab chief, aud a fearful revenge wjuld be taken on them sh Jul 1 they be dieiv.:red. As soon as it wis light enough to see, the horses were saddled and brought by Hugh to the door. A large flat stone, which teived as a hearth, was lift ed, after many efforts, and frm a deep hole underneath Eieaccr took a couple of money belts, heavy with gold, aod a small casket. Coucealing them as well as sho could, s'le took from a packing-box a robe of fur, and cuveloping herself iu it. told with a quivering voice that tue was ready. . w ft i 1 . . m a " i leavo cucn ueuia-i tnat is ot value. l said the young gi'l. " There are many solid silver articles in thee two boxes ; and fine linen with rich clothing ; but if I save life, let them go. Alas, they were but little com fort to mo when I owned them !" Wildly did they gallop awry from the cab in, the maiden leadi-ig the way through the timber to the P-js Moines, for although the prairie track was familiar to her ia summer time, she dare not attempt to find it after so fierce a storm. The ice on the river was thick anl strong, and, like frightened deer, they sped down it till they hal passed ten miles. There is old Ben's cabin," said the mai den, as a thin wreath of smoke was seen lazily curling up through a thicket of wild plum trees. He it one of the tw old trappers to whom my father's strange liking introduced me. J13 win oe laitntui, i snow.

And the old ; man busied himself with - preparing a wood- i land breakfast for the couple, saying as he did so, "Beckon you had no appetite this murniag. Them red skins made tarnel bad, meau corpses."' Then guiding them to the road, he went with them to a cabin ten miles below, and having engaged the trapper who owned it to go with them to,; the garrison ct Fort Des Moines, he hastened back to save, as he paid- all the "pretties" that were owned by Ei?a-.1 nor assureiog ncr tnat the tarnel red skins should never have the fingering of them.

And that its summer was as gol den and rich, as its spring hal been cheer- less and poor, you m'.y saitiae from the fact that the first robe the put cn, when eh laid aside the black t-he wore for the dead, was one cf the purest white atin. and the first, festive gathering she met with, the bright joyous one that assembled io the old. family home to greet her as a brid of tec own.
