frms gipm ut THE PLOUGH. Clear the brown.path to meet the coulter's gleam!, Lo ! on he comes behind his smoking team, With toil's bright dew-drops on his sun burnt brow, The lord of earth, the hero of the plough!. First in the field before the reddening sun, Last in the shadows when the day is done, Line after line along the burning sod, larks the broad acres where his feet have trod; Still where he treads the stubborn clods divide, -A The smooth, fresh furrow opens deep and wide; Matted and dense the tangled turf upheaves, Mellow and dark the ridgy cornfield cleaves; Up the steep hill-side where the laboring train Stands the long track that scores the level plain; Through the moist valley clogged with oozing clay, The patient convoy breaks its destined way; At every turn the loosening chains resound,. The swinging ploughshare circles glistering round, Till the wide field one billowy waste appears, And wearied hands unbind the panting steers. [0. W. Holmes. TO RAISE GIANT ASPARAGUS. The writer in one of the early volumes of the Horticulturist, (Mr. Downing, we believe,) tells how to grow common aspara gus so that it will always rival any .giant production. Ile says: Every one who has begged me for the seed, thinking it a new sort, but I have pointed out the manure heap, (the farmer's best bank,) and told them that the secret all lay there. The sight was only such as might be in every garden. About the first of November, as soon as the frost has blackened the Asparagus tops, I take a scythe,.and mow all down close to the surface of the bed; let it lie a day or two, then set . fire to the heap of stalks; burn it to ashes over the surface of the bed. I then go to my barn-yard ; I take a load of clean, fresh stable manure, and add there to half a bushel ofhen dung; turning the whole together throughout. This makes a pretty powerful compost. I apply one such loed to every twenty feet in length of my asparagus beds, which are six feet wide. With a strong three-pronged spade or folk, I dig this dressing under. The whole is now left for the winter.' In the spring as early as possible, I turn the top of the bed over lightly, once more. Now, as the asparagus grows naturally on the side of the ocean and loves the water, I give it an annual supply of its favorite -con diment. I cover the surface of the bed about a quarter of an inch thick with fine packing salt, it is not too much. As the spring rains come down, it gradually dis solves. Everything else, pigweed, purslane, all refuse to grow on the top of my aspara gus beds. But it would do your eyes good to see the strong, stout tender stalks of the vegetable itself pushing though the surface early in the season. I do not at all stretch a point, when I say that they are as large around as my hoe handle, as tender anid succulent as any I ever tasted. The same round.of treatment is given to my bed eve ry year. WORK FOR RAINY DAYs.-The mechanic has no trouble on this score, if his wvork be under cover, but it is a serious question with the farmer. With all his contrivance, there are often many days lost. With a good barn cellar, and plenty of muck, there is almost always something profitable to be done in forking it over. With the sheds for vehicles, there is always a piaying job in greasing the wheels. This not only sav-es the wear of the axletrees, and boxes, but it adds a good deal to the power of the team. They can carry a much larger load, and do it easier, with well-oiled wvheels. Yet many farmers forgot the grease-pot, and go half the time, at least, with squeaking axletrees. Such a noise is disgraceful to good husban dry. The breaking up of old bones for manure is another rainy-day job, that wvill pay. The poorest of all jobs is that very common re sort, fishing. The idea is homneopathic, on ly the doses are apt to be rather large. A thorough drenching, an enipty stomach, and few fish to put in it, are the usual results of a rainy-day's fishing. The manager of the farm can hardly spend his timie better, a~t this season, than in reading up his agricultural papers, and.in laying his plans for the future. No work pays so wvell on the firm as head work. 'There is far too little of it done. THE WASTES OF THE FARI. So much is said now in the agricultural journals about the wasting of manures, that it is having a perceptible influence upon the practice of farmers in all parts of the coun try. Barn cellars for the preservation of m'anure are now the order of the day. No farmer who takes the papers, or observes what is going on around him, thinks of build a new barn without setting it upon a side hill. or in sonme place where he can have a manure cellar underneath. The worth of muck and absorbents is beginning to be un derstood. But there are other wastes, quite as val uable, that are still overlooked. If a far mner loses a sheep, or eow, or hog, or horse, from disease, the dead bodies are very like ly drawn off into a swamp, or distant p as ture, and, there left as food for crows. This is a great waste of a much more valuable fertilizez-than stable manure. A dead horse or cow is worth at least five dollars for the Comupost heap, and with labor and muck, to save its gases, it will be wvorth twice as much before it reaches the - field. - The amount of muck a dead horse wvill charge with amnmoniacal gas, and their fertilizers, is truly astonishing. Dana thinks twenty loads of good manure mzay be made from one animal. H~e is not wide of the mark, if the heap be properly treated.. The dead animal need~not be carried to a distance. With six to~eight cords of muck the work of decomposition may go on in your gardena, without disturbing any one's olfactories. All anmirmal and vegetable mat ter should lie carefully saved for the com post heap. Labor spent in saving these wastes will be richly rewarded. lI0lE MADE GUAMO. By a comumunicatiomn in the American (Baltimore) Farmer~, we learn that Mr. Thomas D. Rotch, a genitlemian from Scot land, but who claims American descent his father being a New Bedford rwan, and his mother from Nantucket-bas secured in this country a patent for the manufacture of a manure by a treatment of the blood anid offal of animrals with sulphuric acids or other acids, or with copperas or other salts. Statements are made of the effects of this manure in England, that represent it as far superior to the best guano. A company for its manufadture has been organized in Philadelpiffa, and it is proposed to estab lish three others,-one in Baltimore, one in New York, and another in Boston. The maent in Eng1and was secnred by a Mr.i Oldham, who sold it to a company for fifty thousand dollars, and a " royalty" of two English shillings per ton upon all the ma. nure thus made. That was a pretty tall price, but we have no reason to doubt its correctness. Mr. IRotch fixes. the price of his manure at *45 per ton of 2000 lbs. We have long thought, and have often said, that something ought to be done to prevent the waste of fertilizing matter in our cities. We hope Mr. Rotch will meet with such success us to incite the skill and ingenuity of others to devise means by ,which the very life-blood of our farms may be returned to enrich our hungry soils, in stead of breeding disease and death in our cities, by being sufibred to pollute the air and water by which they are surrounded. Mr. R1otch asserts that the manufacture of any manure in which blood and sulphu ric acid are used "renders the sellers the consumers and the manufacturers eqully liablefor damage." We think that no patent ought to author ize so broad a claim as the above, which we gve in Mr R's own words and italics. -N. E. Farmer. FLESH EATING AND VEGETABLE EATING. To consider man anatomically, he is de cidedly a vegetable eating animal. Ile is constructed like no flesh eating animal, but like all vegetable eating animals. Ile has not any claws like the lion, the tiger or the cat, but his teeth are short and smooth, like those of the horse, cow, and the fruit eating animals; and his hand is evidently intended to pluck the fruit, not to seize his fellow animals. What animals does man most resemble in every respect ? The ape tribes; frugiverous animals. Doves and sheep by being fed on animal food, (and they niay be, as has been fully proved.) will come to refuse their natural food; thus it has been with man. On the contrary, even cats may be brought up to live on vegetable food so that they will not touch any sort of flesh, and be quite vigorous and sleek. Such cats will kill their natural prey just as other cats, but will refuse them as food. . Man is naturall y a vegetable eating api mal ; how then could he possibly be injured bv abstinence from flesh ? A utian by way of experiment, was made to live entirely on animal food; after having persevered ten days, symptoms of incipient putrefac tion began to manifest themselves. Dr. Lambe, of London, has lived for the last thirty years on a diet of vegetable food. He commenced when he was about fifty years of age, so he is now about eighty, rather uiore, I believe, and is still healthy and vigorous. The writer of the Oriental Manual mentions that the Ilindoos among whom he travelled were so far from a tent dency to inflammation, that he has seen compound fracture of skull among them, yet the patient to be at his work as if noth ing had ailed him, at the cud of thrc days. flow different is it with our flesh-eating, porter-swillin~g London brewvers ! a scratch is almost death to themn.--Flowers and .Fr'uits, by J. E. Duncan. H-oRSES CoATs.-ILately going to the country to spend a fewv weeks with a friend of umine, I drove a very handsome horse, and a good 'un-but was always annoyed about his coat, as it was moure like a lot of bristles than a horse's smiooth skini, and all the grooming be could get " wouldn't do it no good." My friend, who is a great horse breeder and fancier, muade mec try giving him a few carrots every day out of my hand, saying that he would have a good smoothe coat in three weeks-and he was right, for in that time my horse had aL beau tiful, sleek. glossy coat, 'and all fromi eating a fewv carrots daily. Hle tells ime it is in fallible.-Po~te's Spirit. IRON WIREi Foa RALINc; CoTrTo.-An Alabama correspondent of the Char/exton Courier argues warmly in thv-or of this new mode of bailing cotton. The p~rinlcipal ad vantage is that wvire will not burn like rope. and burstings, scatter the cotton to the flamnes and tihe wind, causing the destruction of every other bale withiin its reach. Cotton bound with wire, moreover, could scarcely be made to blaze, and if combustion be car ried on at all it must be in a smouldering condition. The wire would hold the cotton more firmly than rope, in a compact mass, so that air could scatrcely reach the parts on fire. The danger from devouring ele ment being less, the insurance in store or on shipboard ought to he redue-ed. Wire also is cheaper and lighter than rope, and could afterwards be used in baling up goods or for other putrposes. It should lbe very malleable and galanized or (lipped inl coal tar, so as to prevent the possibility of its rusting. Like rope, it can lie adjusted to any sized bale, both ini paeking and coim pressing. A SIMPL.E CURE FOR A SNAKE BITE.-Mr. Jno: Andr-ews, of this distri et, informs us that a few days since lhe was fishing; lie had with him a small negro boy, who mis taking a mnocasin for a stick, picked it up and was bitten on tihe thumb. Mr. A. had frequently been informed that his grand father, one of our oldest settlers, who was 'a great hunter, had never failed to prevent any evil consequences resulting from a snake bite by washing the wound in water, and at the same squeezing out the poison. HeI, in this case, resorted to this cure. Iholding tme wounded mn'mbaer under water, he wash ed it for some time. The cure was comn? plete; the thumb did not even swell. The bite of the nmocasin is as much dreaded as that of the rattle snake. This statement may be relied upon. Mr. Andrews is a man of character.-Darlington Flag. TRIAL OF MARTIN P08EY !
