Timely Hints for the Fall jHonlbs. From the Maryland Farmer, for Ucto ber,-a very valuable journal, devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, Rural Econ omy and Mechanic Arts, and published monthly by S. SANDS MILLS & Co., 3al timore, Md., for $1,50 per annum,-we cull the following hints, which our agri cultural readers will do well to remember : PLANTING OUT FUCIT ORCHARDS.-lu preceding numbers of the Farmer we have inculcated the propriety of planting out a young orchard wherever one has not been planted or the old one has died out. We have so frequently given all the requisite directions for planting that a repetition here is useless. One or two suggestions may not, however, come amiss. Make the holes wide and de<-p, preserve the top soil for the roots-cart away the subsoil and fill up with rich earth drawn from any available source and mixed with a small quantity of lime. Do not plant deeper than the crown of the roots, and in choosing tieet se'.-ct only fruits of the best quality. BARM YARD COMPOSTS.-No time should now bc lost in forming composts either in the barn yard or the field. The propor tion of barn yard manure to rough vege table fibre, marsh muck, woods' earth, scrapings of roads and ditches, the turf of hedge rows, ?cc, eec, is as one to three -that is to say, one load of barn yard manure to three loads of composting ma terial. In making up the compost heap, layer by layer, lot the lower layers of barn yard manure bc the heaviest, grad uating olf the thickness of each layer as the heap increases in height. When fer mentation sets in watch it closely-try the heat " . thrusting a stick down into it, and as soon as thc fermentation commen ces to expend its force, break down th?: bea;)-mix the materials well together, and let it stand ready to cart out into the lield. If th1 heap is made in the lirld, cover it well with earth, at tho top and sides, to moderate the fermentation pro cess and preserve the gases. CATTLK SHEDS.-Provide thc callie with good warm sheds for protection throughout the winter. Cattle so housed will require lunch less food and will g<> through the inclement seasou with ordiua ry care in fine health and condition. WET LAND?.-If there are low moist meadows to be drained the fall season is the best to do it in. Even the most natu rally fertile meadows fail to bring g> od crops of the valuable grasses if they .tre wet and springy. Let them therefore 1 c ditched and drained so as to carry oil' ?he | surplus water. See in stoning the drains that Ui'.* stones composing them arc placed below tho reach of tho plough, FENCES.-See that these are in gc od order, and wherever they show signs of dilapidation, let all the necessary repairs j be at once made. FALL PLOUGHING.-Strong stifF clays arc improved by ploughing them deeply in the Fall of the year, and suffering the fur rows to lie rough throughout the winier, so as to expose the largest amount of soil to the ameliorating ?md disintegrating effects of the frost. Under no circum stances, however, should such soils be ploughed when, they are wet. Where they are sufficiently dry to crumble before the plough, seize at once the opportun.ty for breaking them up. EGGS IN WINTER.-Give the manufac turers materials lo make them with, and a comfortable [dace to walk in. Let the eggless say what they will, we know what we assert, that it is perfectly feasible to keep the hens laying ali the winter. Give them animal food to supply thc place of insects they catch in hummer, and let them have a warm place to run into, with plenty of unfrozen water, not snow, and a frequent taste of green food, such a3 cabbage leaves, potatoes, &c, and re member to supply gravel for their grind ing mill, and lime to make shells out of, and wo will Warrant the animals to repay all the care and food, in nice plump eggs no matter what the particular breed may be. Try it. A hen without some kind of meat, and gravel, and lime, compelled to eat snow for winer or go without, cannot make eggs. If she has to keep constantly changing irom standing on one loot to the other to keep both from freezing, she can't stop to to think about getting up eggs, if all she eats and can digest, must bc expended in keeping the heat of her body, she hasn't room outside for an egg of i espectable size, and though her instincts may some times induce her to produce a thin-sliclled li pullet's egg" at thc expense of lime in her bones, her pride revolts against such a dwarfed production, and she seldom furnishes beyond two or three. Give madame hen thc odd bits of fresh meat, and, the other fixings named above, not forgetting the water, and make her quarters so free ftorn cold air holes that she is comfortable, and she can't help giving attention to her natural occupation of manufacturing eggs, much to h( satisfaction, and the profit of her c -Agriculturist. -? ? ? From the Southern Cultivator. Salt and Ashes as a Manure Statement of facts with regard I plication of salt to land as a man un In 1852, ? purchased 25 bushels salt which fell from bacon which stored in Atlanta, at a cost of 15 per bushel. 1 mixed it with all th leached ashes that could be collecte the lot-the ordinary quantity whit cumulates during the year on a tow This I spread broadcast over eight of thin, course, sandy soil, badly wot continued cultivation, but which ha previous years manure applied in hill. My recollection is, that ashes, sall all, made about 8 bushels per acre, piece (of 8 acres,) I planted in cor feet each way, one stalk to the hill, ring its growth, it was frequently no by persons who knew nothing of was done to the land, on account of deep green color of the corn. Many r lions were asked about it. The seu I think were good. I gathered from t eight acres fifteen large two horse wt loads of corn in the shuck-equal, I posed, to about 30 bushels per acre. Again, in 1853 or '4, 1 planted ano ?.piece of land, on the opposite side ol road, somewhat thinner than the e acres described above. This land laid ofT 5 feet apart. In those row drilled the same mixture of old leac ashes and salt, at about the same rate acre. The green appearance of the c while growing, and tho great height which the stalks grew, was still more markable, and attracted more notice more frequent remarks. 1 did not ] any particular attention to the gather of this crop, and cannot say how mite made per acre. Hut of one thing th can be no doubt, the product was vas increased by the application. X Sow Oats. Thc com crops having failed in mn localities, it is all ?mp? nant that Plant take the necessary steps to provide ft for their working animals, when the ct gives out. For this purpose oats aro I best, as they are the earliest grain gro and, if properly managed, yield a go return. We therefore advise all, w can, to sow a crop of winter oats. ? black oat is the best kind fur this pt pose, as they are not so li ble to be w ter killed as the white. Sow in co ground, the earlier after the first week September the better ; Oct. or Nov. will very well, however. If theground is ii poveri>hed give it a li ?ht sprinkling short manure, harrow the ground ov< Sow from one to one .md a half bushels the aero, put it in with the shovel j?lon? and roll the ground with a heavy rolle Do not negUc* ?o make water furrow which are easily run willi a tarni) plough, to drain off the s?rtat e water. Ju some, localities winter oats are a to freeze out; when that is the case, tl sowing should not be d"tie till in ll spring. It should however, be recoll?e ed, that thc earlier in the. Spring ar Fall this grain is sown I he heavier t' crop will be. Oats ought, never to 1 harvested until ripe. IC cut green, tl grain will be shrivilled, very light, ai rea! y not better than cheal. The best way lo feed oats to wot horses is to cut the sheaves, unthrashei in a culling box, put bran, shorts or coi meal willi them, wet thc whole 'willi small quantity of water. Care must li taken thai neiihcr too much or too litll water is used. If too little water, ll meal does not mix well with (he cul. oat: if too much the feed is apt to sour. Som have the. oats ground and mixed with ci hay ; this however, is not to be recen mended, ns the miller'receives the mo; ! non rahing portion of the feed, very mue 1 to the disadvantage nf the animals. Fruit Culture* Strawberry beds may be planted th; month, avd the peach budded, if the bar will slip. If you intend enlarging you orchard, begin to prepare th a ground thi month. If your soil is inclined to wasl throw up banks high enough to retain th water, using a level for the purpose. Ii our climate, we generally need all th rain that falls during the summer, and i permitted to wash, no soil long retain its fertility. On these terraces, the fmt trees may bc set in the deep soil, neal the edge, which if it is made sufficient!-, high to retain the water, it will not re quire much additional 'digging to form .* basis deep enough for the tree. The re maining part of thc terrace can be trench plowed and prepared at leisure. These terraces may be made with a very slight slope to a surface drain at one eu'3, tn carry off thc water, in case of a flooding rain. The edge should be made so high : as to never overflow. If trees are set on level ground, a strip of soil beneath them, some eight feet wide, should be thorough ' ly prepared, by subsoiling or trenching. ' In these operations, always leave the most j fertile and friable earth near the surf ice ; in contact with the roots of thc tree. ! After the trees arc set, thc rest of the ? soil can be prepared at leisure. Fruit trees do finely on terraced hill J sides. Set out your trees the latter part i of November, as they then throw out ! young rootlets, and get established before spring-making almost a year's difference in the growth. Give out now your orders for fruit trees, as you will be more likely to get the kind you wish, and trees now secured, are better grown than those left over until towards spring. Look over the stocks budded during the summer, and remove the shoots that threaten to impoverish them by exhausting their share of tho sap. -- -4 -?- ? To MAKK COWS GIVE MILK.-A writer who says his cow gives all the milk that is wanted in a family of eight persons, and from which was made two hundred and sixty pounds of butter thc year, gives the following as his treatment. It is cheap and worth at least a trial : If you desire to get a large yield of rich milk, give your cows three times a day, water slightly warm, slightly salted, in which "bran has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of water. You will find, if you have not tried this daily practice, that your cow will give twenty-five per cent, more milk immedi ately under the effect of it, and she will become so attached to the diet as to re fuse to drink clear water unless very thirsty, but this messshe^U drink almost at any ti nie and ask li'Jj&ore.^ The amount of this drink necessary is an or dinary water pail full each time, morning, noon and night. Your animal will then do her best at discounting the lacteal. Four hundred pounds of butter are often obtained from good stock, and instances are mentioned where the yield was even at a higher figure. -? ? A WORD TO COTTON PLANTERS.-Why are you so parsimonious in the use of bagging ? We daily see our great staple brought to market in a condition that re flects but little credit upon thc producer.?. Bulging ends and gaping sides, admitting dirt and moisture, detract from its ap pearance and diminish its value. You are more than repaid for the bagging re quired, and it is a false economy und a prodigal thrift to p;it up cotton in the usual manner. Try the experiment, and see if you do not obt lin a bettor price by following our advice -Chester Standard OCT One quart of net.t foot oil, four ounces of beef tallow, and three table spoonsfull of lampblack-with fourounces of beeswax for summer use-is room mended as a superior mixture for the pur pose of oiling harness. Welcome (0 Congress. The following card has been issued, and is most extraordinary. It shows the desperate de -?gus of the radicals : Being profoundly impressed with the importance of the struggle through which the country is pa-sing, and of the necessi ty of preserving the results gained by its triumphs in the field, and more rec? ntl) at the polls, thc undersigtcd, a commit tee appointed by the Soldiers and Sailor.-? of Washington, D. C., do in their name earnestly invite their comrades, the loyal veterans of the republic, Mith all other friends of the great cause cf Union and liberty, to meet in a national mass wel come and council, to be held in this, the Federal capital, on Saturdiy, December the 1st, proximo. We ask your presence tohonor and as sure protection io the loyal majority in the thirty-ninth Congress, in whom we re cognize faithful guardians of our assailed institutions and able supporters of the principles involved. Come in your might. B/ your pres (.tu c, show how sternly loyalty can rebuke treason. Trove thereby tint the iii rent? and insults of a treacherous Executive against the legislative braiiea of the Gov ernment cannot intimidate 1 free people. Here in thc Fedeial capital must our great struggle culminate lu wisc and equitable legislation. Mere, then, should we assemble to encourage and strength en Congress-to whose hands the Con stitution wisely entrusts thc power-to imch just action as will make peace per manent and libertv universal. J). S. CUNTIS, J:, J. HINTON, A. .1. BENN KIT, \V. S. MO HS li, L. EDWIN DUDLEY. Correspondence is invited, and may be addressed; li. J. .'linton, Washington, D. C. The National Intelligencer is {pained to lear?, from many sources of reliable in formation, thal the above call looks to the establishment in Washington, cn per manence, ol'au organized fold?, to be sub ject to the orders of Congress. What they may be, and what disastrous calami ties impend over our beloved country, Heaven only knows. But the ferocious counsels of Butler, Wade, Furney and others may be carried out by the "sword smoking with bloody execution." lt is, indeed, a sad looking forward for patriots from ftll sections of the country. God rules over all, however, ?nd in Him let us trust. There can be no doubt but that a revo lutionary movement is contemplated by thc above call. President Johnson, we have no doubt, will be prepared for any coup (Fe tu I they may intend; but these continued plots, now growing bolder every day, bode no good to the peace and prosperity of the country. Their recent victories seem to have inspired the radicals with new confidence, and it need not surprise the country, if we are plunged into a civil war, from the inordi nate desire of the Jacobins to rule or ruin. The salvation of the country, tin der God, must depend on the wisdom and conservatism of the American people. If they do not rouse in time, the United States must present thc most magnificent wreck of a free Government the world ever saw. Thc problem of self-govern ment will then be effectually solved, and the trials of R&publican Government be quenched forever.- Phoenix. --? .>-? THE REBEIA CHEER'A FEDERAL SOL DIER.-At a recent tournament in Tus cumbia, Alabama, the prize was won by an ex-officer of the Federal army. The Huntsville Independent thus describes the manner in whjch his victory was receiv ed: The thickest ice muss melt. Cheer burst forth for the knightly victor. The judges, the president, Genend Forrest, and K. and Q. said hurrah for him and took him by the hands.. The silver spurs were his-there was not a dissenting voice. And just here wc have the plea sure of recording an impromptu act by the off-hand knight, which doe3 credit to the heart. -Through Gen. Forrest he an nounced to thc crowd that the spurs were offered as a present to tho association for the cause of sepulture to the Confederate dead. Well done, son of the North. You fought for your side in the war, we for ours. You are a piece man now, and no one can say you have not acted the gen tleman throughout, and at times when one's patience would be sorely tried. A colored cook expecting company of her own kind, was at a loss how lo enter tain her friends. Her mistress said : " Chloe, you must make' an apology." " Oh, missus, how can 1 make it ? I got no apples, no eggs, no nuffin lo make it wid." Tribute to Jeff. Davis. The Daily Index, of Petersburg, Va., ?jets oft" the following tribute to Jeff. Da vis. Certainly thc " measure of his am bition" must be as full as that of Mr. Johnson : When the smoke and dust of this con lict shall clear away, and the record of ;he great assize of history be made up, md the sentence pronounced on this most itupendous struggle fur nationality, there Aili stand forth no figure so sublime as hat of this gallant soldier, brilliant orator, ?agacious statesman, and Christian gentle nan, bereft of every earthly possession ?hut out from all converse with thc hu nan family, guarded by mutes, jailored >y a tyrant, accused by an assassin, trem )lingwith paralysis, blind, manacled, tor tired with an ingenious cruelty, which lenied him sleep, with a brutal mob of nillions clamoring for his blood, yet aim, defiant, and undaunted, asking no rivor of thc best, and no guard against he worst, save a public trial tn the courts if his foes. Lile has bern allotted to him well nigh o the verge of his three score years loners have poured on him for more than alf his life, filling full the measure of bnerican fame. Yet were his life to ?val the ages of the patriarchs, and his onors to double the glories of the illus rious son of David, the bright particular ear of his history would be that in .'hich, a chained captive, the last victim f a lost cause, he raised his voice in per etual claim for no favor of twenty mil ion of enemies, but justice. A feeble tongue, it may be, that makes ic appeal, but the cry pierces the triple .on of his dungeon, pierces the massive .alls of his Bastilc, drowns the multitudi ous roar of the neighboring sea, rises bove the victorious nation's poans, and fallen nation's will, and will go "sound lg down the ages," to assure thc world lat the virtue men call ftoman, and the ourage they call Spartan, died neither n the Tiber nor the Eutotas. SAD AFFAIR.-The M icon Telegraph ives an account of the shooting of a oung man named Lewis Bronson, under id and singular circumstances Bronson. .?th two other young men, were seated >gcthcr, when one of thom ottered to ?ll the other his pistol. The weapon as produced and examined, but there einga disagreement ns to price, Bronson ?iked to sec the weapon, and it was bond el to him. In examining it, he held the muzzle to ?ftids the owner of t.ic weapon, who rc larked to him it he wanted tu point it at ny one be hal better dirict it against ?in self. No sooner had this remark been made ian Bronson placed thc muzzle against is r??:ht temple, and asked, in a jocular tanner, ?ts thc yoting men thought, Shall I pull the trigger 1" Ile was an gered that if he did. he was a dead man, hen just at that moment, the pistol (ired, ie ball entering his skull, causing his eath in a few" moments. Jt is said that e had previously made two attempts to ill himself, and therefore the act was be eved to have been voluntary. DttiVES TO DESPERATION.-The Boston Wc says a Benedick who has taken a rife recently, was driven to the extreme i casu re by the treatment he received in boarding house where he was siek re elitly. Ile said lie ordered the servants i? bring him some gruel on Monday norning, but which he never got until Vidnesday afternoon. During his cou ncil! ont nut *v single soul visited, bim, ave the young gentleman who cleaned he knives; and be came nut fur the pur ?ose of consolation, but to inform bim hat "Missus would bc much obliged if Ir.-would do his shaking on a chair, o a-i not to let the bedstead part." This ras thc feather that broke the back of lis bachelorship. From that moment he esolved to connect- his fortunes with a ?ieee of J i mit v.

A worthy old farmer, residing in the vicinity of Lake Mahopeck, was worried o death last summer by boarders. They bund fault with his table and said he had lothing to eat. " Dang it," said old Isaac, one day, ' what a fuss you're making. I .can cat inything." " Can you cat a crow ?" said one of the jonrders. <; Yes, I ken cat a crow !" 11 Bet you a hat," said thc guest. Thc bet was made, the crow caught md nicely roasted, but before serving up hey contrived to season \i with a good lose of Scotch snuff. Isaac sat down to he crow. Ile took a good bite, and be jan to chew away. " Yes, I ken eat crow ! (another bite, md an awful face.) I ken cat crow; but 'll be darned if I hanker arter it!" A gentleman sent his Irish servant up X) his room for a pair of boots, and at ;he same time told him to be sure and jet mates, as there were two pairs to gether in the closet. Patrick returned Arith two boots but odd ones. 41 Why, lont you see that these are not alike? One is a long top, and the other is a short one !" said the gentleman out of patience with the fellow. " Bedad, your lionor," said Pat, in apology, " and it's true for ye, but thin the other pair was just so too." An Irish footman having carried a bas ket of game from his master to a friend, waited a considerable time for the custo mary fee, not finding it likely to appear, scratched his head, and said, " Sir, if my master should say, "Paddy, what did tho gentleman give you?" what would your honor have me to tell him ?"
