Stick to Vour Farms.
The feeling that you arc settled and
fixed will induce you to go to work to
improve your farms, to plant orchards,
to set out shade trees, to enclose pastures,
to build cointoitable out-houses,
and each successive improvement is a
bond tujiind you still closer to your
homes. This will bring contentment
in the family. Your wives and daughters
will fall in love with the country, !
your sons will love home more than j
the gossip, and prefer farming to measuring
tape or professional loafing, and
you will be happy in seeing the contented
and cheerful faces of your families.
Make your home beautiful, convenient
and pleasant, and your children
will love it above all other places;
they will leave it with regret, think of
j it with fondness, come back to it my1

| around their home liresides.

(ireru Manuring.
Manuring hy ploughing down growing
crops, though among vhe oldest
methods ol fertilizing the soil, continues
to be among the most prominent
topics in agricultural discussions, the
diiVereneo of opinion as to its value
evidently, as so many of our difler(III
11'? 11 <" " <
V?v |U till v III lllllMIilMl'S j
that an; overlooked hy those who take |
11:\rt in ilio discussion. On tin; one
hand, it. is declared that, the ploughing
down of a green ciop is of no more
good than the use of so much "acidulated
water;" while we see slatcnenis
Irom the olher side, showing that the
very host results have (lowed Irom the
practice. So far as we can judge,
green manure is not successful in
light, sandy soils. In the. South, the
cow-pea is used lor the purpose, sown
in t ai!y sit in m or and ploughed down
in the fall. In the Middle Slates, clover
is used, and fait her North, rye.
We have recently seen some statements
that it has paid handsomely in
the New Knghuid States, to plough
down in the spring :i crop <>i rye,
though there was certainty that it
would in a few weeks return * ">() per
acre, in order that a oron of corn or i
rutabagas might follow.
This is no more opinion. The party
who practices this has been doing il
for years, and finds so much profit
from il that he continues the practice.
Of course, it goes hard at times to sacrifice
a whole crop for a season wholly
to fertilizing seeds, and it, is this which
keeps so many from practicing it; hut,
if only good figures are kept, it will
often he loutid that the cost, of manuring
an acre by more popular methods
very often exceeds the product of
many ol the most paying crops.
It seems to us that much more
light might be thrown on this method
of manuring than has so far been afforded
us. There arc many plants
which might be tried, that would do
better than anything so far named.
In Kuropo, lupins arc very popular,
and some effort was made to introduce
them here, we believe, sonic years ago.
Their advantages arc that they will
make a good herbage on soil so poor
that nothing else will grow. Then, it
would bean advantage to grow things
which will make a good stool, so that
uiey could be ploughed down in time
for certain crops, and not take too
long to do it. Uyc may do pretty
well for late spring crops, but would
not do foV t hose which had to go in
early. It would not be grown suilieieiul
v for the inirnose. Ii is liln.i v 11...?
for this purpose buckwheat would U?
an excellent article. Soon after the
early summer crops were oil', it would
grow enough to ho ploughed down
before winter, so as to bo ready for the
early spring. Jhit the whole subject
will bear a reviewing by practical
men. Thus lar, clover is generally
preferred lor ploughing down.

aboved the rest is the rapidity will)
which waters may he made prolific of
the finest lislt. Ueloro Sctii (ireen, in
18(57, braved the charge of insanity
by hatching shad in the CVunieticut
river, it was a source of intense regret
that the delicious shad had almost disappeared.
IVople talked ol the old
times when shad were plenty, and
mourned for the good old days. A lish
would brine; an extravagant price us
a luxury, which it was. J Jut, presto,
Seth sowed the liver with eggs, and
the result is that last year, as the report
declared, "accoi din<jr to the com
ntissioner's report, there nre more shad
in the Connecticut river than there
were in 1802, when there were more
shad in t lie river thin ever before." ?M r.

livers might, in lour years, be stocked
with while, lish and salmon equal to
what tie. v held in former years, lie
has been successful in propagating lit
teen sjiecies. There are some very
strong arguments in favor <>l the cultivation
ol lish. They utilize streams
and bodies ol water which are otherwise
unproductive of wealth, making
them as valuhle as the dry land.
Again, the lood which is converted l?y
lish costs nothing. They cat that
which is otherwise useless and a nuisance.
Then they require but little or
no care; they soak their own living
and grow without the labor of man.
Finally, their food is the most healthful
and agreeable of anything that
comes under the head of llesh. There
is probably no other way by which an

.Mr. Atkins who pioneered the
salmon hatching in the State, and to
.Messrs, Stil well and Stanley, the present
fish commissioners, who are doing
everything possible to forward the interest
ol tish culture. Maine with her
extensive sea coast, and her magnili;
