A GAE LAW The Legislature of Maryland have wisely passed a law for the protection of patridges, pheasants and quails in Baltimore, Howard, Annie Arun del, Carroll, Calvert, Washington, Frederick, Al legany, Kent, St.Mary's, Somerset, Cencil, Queen Anne's and Dorchester counties. The penalty is $5 for each and every offence; and taverns and restaurant keepers are liable to the same fine if they expose or offer for sale any such birds du ring the periods that the law protects them from the gun or trap, viz :-Woodcocks between the 1st of Februiry and the 10th of June-Pheas ants between the 1st of February and the 12th day of August-Patridges and Quails between the 15th of January and the let of October. This is a wise and salutary law, and should be enacted by every State, else the time is not far distant, when game will be almost entirely ex tinct within their limits. All game birds and animals should be protected during the spring, summer and autumn months, to afford them eve ry oppartunity to rear their young. And it is only by affording then such protection, that we may ope to have game in any abundance, in the old and densely populated States. It is ful. ly to expect to preserve game, without game laws, which will protect them against the vanda lism that destroys the parents during incubation or gestation, or at any period immediately pro ceding or sabsequent. We do not desire to see the laws on the subject as stringent as those of England or Europe, because they are not adap ted to our institutions or the character and hab its of our people. All we want is, that a law be enacted, prohibiting the killing of game during. the s ring and summer months. Such a law, if rigidly enforced, would protect the game, and afford a much more abundant supply than now exists in any part- of the country.-Augusta Chroniele & gentinel. THE FiNi CUILTRUR. Robert L. Pell, of New York, a diitinguishpd and succe-ful promoter of the modes of artifi cial fish culture, concludes a detailed report of his experience with various kinds of fish in the following words:* From expetinents that I have tried in the artificial breeding of fish, I am convinced that the ova of all varietie- may be carried, after impregnation, three or four thousand miles, in water occasionally, serated, and planted as auc essfully as if deposited by the parent fish. For this purposc, form a hollow spot adjoining a clear and rapid stream of water, say twenty feet long and eight feet wide; fill this space with coarse gravel to the depth of ajx inches, and on this foundation place -fine gravel and4 coarse sand to the depth of six inches ,more, plaht your ova one-and-a-half inches deep in furrows, and cover them .so that- the whole space presents, an even surface, then let in the water to the dbpth of seven inches at the up per end, and six at the lower, forming a uni form gentle current over the whole space. The sluice must be so regulated as to keep up the sme supply and depth of water at all times. In this way millions of fish may be bred, protected. to the proper age, and then turned into the rivers er ponds to grow and, incresse. Last summer I impregnated -the ova of shad, and planted them in a ditch a quarter of a mile in length, extending from one pond to another, in the most careless manner possible, not even taking the trouble to cover them, and they pro duced tens of thousands of young shad, which I use as food for my pickered and perch. A bireeding pond should have grass around the sides, and occasional graval beds rising to within two inches of the surface, for the fish to spawn upon; two females and one male will stock an acre pond in two years; and in three years it will-be necessary to put in a few male perch or pickerel to thin them out. If eels and bull-heads get in your pond, as they inevi tably will in a short time, saturate the water withi quick lime, and in a few hours the fish will all die and come to the surface, when they may be used as manure, and will produce, on account of their rich oily niature, the ulost luxu riant effect on land. Fishes, in natural history, form the fourths in the Linman system; their popular division is into fresh and salt water fish. A very few species ascend rivers to deposit their ova, We know something about four hundred varieties, and nothing about eight hundred more. What is the experience of our Southern " Fih Planters," and especially of those in our own State ? ToxAos.-A correspondent of the Genesee Farner gives his mode of growing tomatoes. He forwards his plants - in a hot-bed or green house, and grows them in pts until they are a foot or a foot and a half high, turning them out about the second week iis May. He plants them three feet apart in rows. When planted he drives down a fe~w stakes, six or eight feet apart, leaving them about four feet high the whole length of the rows, and nailing a strip of wood all along the tops, and tying one or two lower down the stakes to make a trellis. The ground should be dug deep and made rich with manure, and a spoonful of guano mixed with the soil round each root. We quote: " When they have grown sufficiently long to tie to the trellis, I se Feet two oi- three'of the longest shoots and tie them loosely to the trellis, cutting away all other small laterals which may grow on the main branches. I let these main branches grow un til they have come in flower and set the first bunch of fruit ; then I pinch out the top, one joint above the fruit, leaving the loaf entire. I then allow it to go on again until it has flowered and set another bunch of fruit. when: the top is pinched out one leaf above the bunch, same as the first, and so on of all the rest, taking care to cut all the laterals whiceh may grow on the main branches down to the axles ot the leaves, as otten as they are produced, but leaving the leaves entire. If any one 'will take this little extra trouble, lhe will be amply repaid and absolutely astonished at the iminense clusters of fine large tomatoes he will have. If planted in a favorable sitina tion, they will ripen at least as early as those grown in any other way out of doors, and fre quently three days or a week earlier. When ripe they will hang longer on the vines without1 decayig. The situation can hartilly be too sunm ny. D~eip, light loamy soil suits them best." Tux PLow.-Some one-it sounds very like Taylor the poetical author of "January and - Jue-thus speaks of the p)rogressw of this long time prominent and indispensable implement:4 "One cannot fail to be impressed with the truth 1 that the Plow, though unquicked by the Tole graph, and as yet undriven by steam, has yet4 kept pace, strangely' enmough, with the progress of the age. Where-are the old-fashioned affairs, with timbor eiiough in them to make a mill? 1 Where is the huge beam, that used to rob many a barn of oneef' its chief features, and the grim old share, that it, took two (urges and foundries to iake ? The superfluous wood i hewn away; the mass of metal has become a rm'u surgical II instrument in fashion and finish,' Ther, is 1 gace in the very Aradles; the ndze amqd the axe,.. a the oldil "sdrawineg-knifq. that nied 4hng. in- the shed, have given place to the lane, the file, and sand-paper and the brush. a a word the tinker has made way for the ar st, and the plow of to-day is the product there f. We have always entertained a secret won er at that absurd people away in the "drowsy ast," who set up one of the old-fashioned red hered plows that somebody was good enough to end them-set it up and trorslaped it. But we hould not wonder so much, if they should do it ow, since the plow has become a light, in fact lIost an elegant implement." THE MLKING KAID IN TIE MORNING. BY PRIVATEB. When the dew is on the clover, And the gorse in Autumn bloom, And the primrose-beds all over With acorn cups are strewn; And the lazy rooks sit cawing * High upon the tallest tree, I lead my heifers, lowing, To the milking through the lea. Then calls to me The cuckoo free; And the blackbird, at the dawning, Sings clear and ripe, With his golden pipe, To the milking maid in the morning. When the bloom Is on the bean stalk, And the bare in green hedge-rows Washes her face with the dew-drops, I call to my new milch cows. The partridge springs, on dewy wings, And the pheasant, under the bough, Flashes the sheen of.his purple rings, As my milk-white heifers low. And sings for me, In green-wood tree, The throstles fine at the dawning; And the sky-lark, he Pipes cheerily, To the milking maid in the morning. [Porter's Spirit. - SowiNG C:.ovet.-An experienced farmer writes: Last spring I sowed a field of spring wheat dagged in well; then with a hand sower, lowed on clover and timothy seed both mixed; )rushed in with a light brush and at harvest the :over was very thick, and so high that the reaper pped the most of it in cutting the gatin, which was a fair crop also. Persons who were used o raising clover, said they never saw a better itand the first year than this was. It would iave beetr a good fall crop of bay; but I pas. ,ured it, which amply paid me for the time and ieed, though I expected to keep it for meadow.. rhe timothy made a poor show last season. Perhaps it may come our better this year. But xperience teaches me that fall sowing is the best for timothy.
