How ,lest t1he farmer's simple life, How pure the joy it yields! Far from the world's tempestuous strife, Free 'mid the scented fields.-EERETT. TIE GOOD OLD PLOW. LET them sing who may of the battle fray, And the deeds that have long since passed; Let them chant in praise of the tar whose days Are spent on the ocean vast. I would render to these all the worship you please And would honor them even now; Lut I'd give far more from my heart's fall store, To the cause of the Good Old rlough. Let them Taud the notes that in musie float, Through the bright and glittering halls; While the amorous twirl of the hair's bright curl Round the shoulder of beauty falls. But dearer to me is the song from the tree, And the rich and blossoming bough 0, these are she sweets which the farmer greets, As he follows the Good Old Plough. Full many there be that daily we see, With a selfish and hollow pride, Whothe ploughmmans lot in his humble cot, With a scornful look deride; Mut I had rather take aye, a hearty shake, From his hand than to wealth I'd bow ; Tor the honest grasp of his hand's rough clasp, ias stood by the Good Old Plougbp. All honor be then to these gray old men, When at last they are bowed with toil; Their warfare then o'er, thcy battle no more, For they've conquered the stubborn soil. And the chaplet each wears, is his siver hairs ; And ne'er shall the victor's brow, With a laurel crown to the grave go down, Like the sons of the Good Old rlough. From the Lautrensville Herald. PASTURES. There is perhaps no country in the world where it is so easy to have ample pasture for stock, excepting the wild prairie lands of the West and North-West, as in the old cotton States; and in no improved country is the great advantage that might be derived from properly enclosing them, less under stood or dppreciated. Thousands of acres are to be seen everywhere in .this State, of old fields and exhausted lands, so managed as to be of little or no value to their owners. Do our people know that everywhere through. out Europe anId the Northern States, pas ture is considered of the first importance to the farmer? With them clover and the grasses are considered the foundation of all good farming. It may be said the clover and the rich- grasses will not thrive with us as with them. This may be so-and it is probable, indeed, almost certain, that their mode of farming would not suit us. Our eustoms should be such as experience- proves are best suited to our location. If we can not have their luxuriant pastures, we can have our short grass and broomsage much longer than they do, which is a great ad vantage. If we cannot mow hay for win tering oar stock as they do, we have much less need of it, as our winters are shor. With shucks and straw and some other little helps we are generally able to winter our cattle. What we ought to do is, to have our waste lands so enclosed as to afford an abundant pasturage. With good pasturage we can have fat cattle, more milk and more manure. With plenty of milk, wve need less meat, and therefore less corn for feeding hogs; with plenty of manure we can raise more cotton and more corn, and more meat too. By having ample pasturage we can leave the vegetable matter on our cultivated fields to be turned in. Avoid the injury of much treading, and at the same time be gathering the manure to fertile them. These are such plain truths, so obvious, that one would think it hardly necessary to urge them; yet, .plain as they are, they are not carried out in practice by our farmers in one case out of teni. The system of cross fencing and close-grazing, and treading of our cultivated fields, still continues. W'ould it not be better, and generally cheaper, too, that the cross fences should all be removed and applied to enclosing permanent pas. turesi But matny of us have also branch and creek bottoms that with proper attention wvould produee the best kind of grasses. Wlt is certain the herds-grass and w~hite clover succeed well in such places, and it is tlto gether likely that many of the grasses they miow produce spoiitaneously, would, with proper attention, prove valuable.-lin fact, several of my acquaintances cut considera ble quantities of hay on their wet bottoms the last dry summer, which has helped them materially in carrying their stock through the winter. It is not slow business. A hand can save more of it in a datv than lie can of fodder. The reader may think [ have taken a good deal of pains in telling what every body knows ; be that as it may, it is not what everybody practices, anid it is even of use sometimnes to be reminded of what we already know. Tro sum up what I have to say in a-fe words, let me urge every farmer ini Laurens to cnclose for himself a good pasture-one that wvill keep fat all sumnmr as matny cattle as lie can carry in condhitioni throngh the winter. And let him avail himnself to the extent of these helps to increase Ihis mranure pile ; let him tend less land, better mnanruredl und~ better tended, to be sure to put in enough corn and smaller graini before cotton, anid I will promise him a happy independence. ILLING CRoi's.-iling, ridving. and mnoulding up plants, though the too general practice frotn timie immemorial, is as much .opposed to reason anid observation as it is to the economy or nature, and these ought to govern all our agriculttural pursuits. It~ is a practice only serviceable to celery, or othier plants which require to be blanched. T1his mistaken practice compels the plants to form a newv set of roots, as often as they' are hilled up. This injures the growth of th'e plants. It is also exactly calculated to carry off' rains and produce artificial droughits. A lev-el cultivation, wvhich is tihe best, should only be irndee~d enough to extir pate weeds. Ridging and cutting the roots of the plants with tire plow, although very commnonly (lone, is undoubtedly an injurious practice. The hoe arid cultivator are the best instruments for cleaning crops. SPRESERVING FRUITs IN THEIR OWN JUICE. NAs the 'season of fruits is now approach ing it may be interesting to our lady readers to be informed of a method by which the nlost delicate fruits can be preserved so as oretain their flavor for an almost indefinrite ecriod. 'Thirteen bottles of Fruits so pro erved were exhibited lately at Rochester, - Y., by Win. R. Smith, of Wayne county, izlive of cherries, twvo of peaches, one of trawberries, three of different varieties of urrents, one of blackberries, and one of alumubs. They we're examined by a com iittee, and found of flne flavor; and thre onmmittee exrerosnd the nninion that the art I of preserving fruit in this manner is practi cable and valuable, and that the fruit, when carefully put up, can be made to keep as long as may be desirable. The method of preserving is thus given to the New York State Society by Mr. W. R. Smith. They are preserved by placing the bottles filled with their fruit, in cold water and rais ing the temperature to the boiling point as quick as possible, then cork and seal the bottle immediately. Some varieties of fruit will not fill the bottle with their own juice -these must be filled with boiling water and corked as before mentioned, after the surrounding water boils. ORDER AND CARE IN LITTLE THINGS. Small incidents sometimes lead to disas trous consequences. flow essentially im portant, then, is it that we should cultivate the habit of ordr-of putting in place eve rything that we find out df plaLce. Parents often work against this wholesome princible, by all the time replacing articles of furni ture, of dress, &c., which are carelessly left whLre they are used by their children, in stead of having a place for everything, and of rigidly requiring everything to be put in its place when no longer required. A servant drops the broomn just where her labors with it happen to end-within the next hour the handle is stumbled over and broken. A child neglects to place his book where it may be found-an hour's hunt is the consequence, and a lesson, perhaps, is lost. A son leaves his boots and boot-jack in company in the middle of the room, to the annoyance of the whole household, to be removed and properly placed by some one whose time and attention he has no claim upon. The farier leaves his plow in the field where he has last used it, exposed to the weather, and when he next wants it, an hour is lost in hunting it, and probably another in removing the rust and rendering it fit for use. All this is the result of the want of a little care in giving the right di rection in em lv lire. The habit or order and care in little thing; is as easy acquired as is the opposite habit of slovenly itglect. Next in importance to habits of order, is to see thr t everything is in order. If your bars are broken or a gate off its hinges, do not neglect to put them in order until the catile have destroyed a crop or grain; if a hoe wants a handle, an axe a helve, or it a scythe needs grinding, do not fail to put them off until the hour you desire to use theni. It is a curious fact that hundreds of lives were lost in the steamer Birkenhead, be cause a paddle-box boat could not be unfast. ed, and the reason why this was, that the iron pin which held the iron strap, or fasten ing of the iron paddle-box, by which it was kept down to its place, was so badly rusted that it.could not be drawli out. ILad this fastening, and this pin been of galvaniz-d iron, the accident would not have happened. Indded, if once or twice on the vovmee some one had given the boat a coating of oil, the boat would not have rusted, and many hu man beings might have beenm saved a wvatery grave.

The above remedy or cure for that affliet ig disease, c omumonly called " horse dlistemi per," was communicated to me recently by an individnal who had successfully tested its efficacy in several instances. I have had but one opportunity to prove its value, and in that one was perfctly successful. I think that if the horse be attended to at thie com mencement of the disease, there will lbe no necessity of his losing a day's work. In all the books that I have read, I have never yet founid as speedy and certain a cure for this ilisease as the above. PLOW STnaIGIu.-lt is an old saying, that "monre corni grows on crooked rows than on straight"s-and why ? Because eve ry one plants crooked rows. Now, still miore would grow in straight ones, if everyb~odv laid them straight. So likewise, every far mer who plows straight furrows raises the irgest erops-Why so ? asks thme reader. Because the man wvho takes painis to do :hings well is always most successfui. Who 3ver will turn over straight or even furrows, wvill do other things equally well ; there is rio slip-shod farminig about him-no biroken rences, no giant's weeds, no rusty tools; but alI is neat and flourishing.

Biut nature wiill require more in an open barn, anid more still in a cold yard. The fuel to feed the fires within, will always bear a proportion to thme cold atnmosphlere sur rounding the surface of the body without, which is to be warmed, in ordler to keep- the creature comfortable. It is like plainmg your stove outside of the house to warum taie circumambient air, instead of placing it within your snug little parlori. The extra out door appetite is caused nmainly if not entirely, biy the extra exposure demanding extra fuel.-Granite Farmer. PoL-TRr.-Feed your lhens w~ell and they wvill start opposition lines with great competition, and lay eggs at lowv prices; then wvill be thme tinme to set for hatching. Set two or three hens at the same time, and when they hatch, put all the chickens to one of them and let the others go to hayinig. Early chickens are the most profitabile for market and earley' puhlets will lie the best layers next winter.-Green County Whmig. BE vecry careful to gather all punctured or :lecayed fruits, wvhether on your trees or on the ground, and give them to your hogs. If you do not, the worms which they conitaiin, 'mnd which have been thme cause of their pre nature decay, will make their escapte into :he ground, and you will find the evils, wyhich await their visitations, - increase uponi fou another season.
