J?nners' ffpninent jcVom thc Sonthorn Cultivator for January. Work for the Mouth. The work for 18G7, wc suppose to be finislied, cotton all picked, ginned and packed, and, perhaps, sold, if so, how does the account between Dr. and Cr. stand? Wc are afraid that, in many in stances, the answer would be too painful to tell. Adverse circumstances have worked mightily against us, that is true, but let us not be discouraged. Let us find out huw much of our failures are due to causes beyond our control and how much to ourselves. The latter we can guard against hereafter. If we have cultivated poor land without manure-if we have used plows which loosened the soil only two or three inches deep-if we have planted too much cotton and too little grain-if we have made losing con tracts with negroes-we can surely avoid the same things in future. Let us*begin the new year's work with a hopeful, trusting, if not cheerful, heart-and, per haps he, " who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," may yet scatter his smiles upon us in the form of rich and remuner ating harvests. We may, in the first place, show ourselves not unworthy ol mercy, by manifesting the same to the animals abuut us, providing them with sheller fi om the cold rains of winter and supplying them liberally with food. Sound economy also, urges the same course upon us. Let fencing now be looked after, gates repaired, and all the implements of the farm put in first rate order. Time cannot be spared to look after these things in spring or summer. Start the plows as soon as possible. Do not bum off the weeds on your land, but turn them under. A good Br'mly plow can do it if properly managed-and you cannot alford to lose the manure nature has thus kindly prepared for you. Scat ter all the long manure you have, before turning under. It will be better for the crops if done now, and it will save valua ble time in the busy months of spring. Do not forget to lay in a supply of seed oats-the time for sowing will soon be at hand, and this crop is a very valuable one now, becau?e so little labor is required for it. Make just as much manure as possible-never forget thal. The only trouble about stable manure is, that we never can get enough. If you have any ?notley to spare make arrangements at once, to obtain genuine Peruvian Guano and sume good Superphosphate, to be ready for spring use. Ti? KITCHEN GARDEN.-Many of our readers are unable now to incur thc same expense itt spading and trenching their g ii deus as they usea to do. We beg them, however, if they lay aside the spade and substitute the plow, nut to adopt the practice of shallow plowing, so common in the South. Depth of soil is absolute ly essential to having good vegetables in our dry, hot climate. if not already done, scatter manure liberally oil the suf fice ; turn it under with a turn-plow, and follow in the sume furrow with the best plow you hive for breaking up ground and you may thus loosen the soil ten inches or a f.otdeep. H.ive walks around the edges only-this facilitates plowing ?nd plant vegetables in rows running clear across, from one side to the other. Thc plow can then be used largely in their subsequent cultivation. But if any of our readers are so fortunate as to have a plenty of money, our advice is, not to abandon the spade. Use it freely ; dont stop short of two feet of soil, well broken up, and liberally supplied with vegetable matter and manure. ASPARAGUS.-The asparagus bed, if not already looked after, should be at tended to at once. If by cultivation or otherwise, the soil has been removed from the bed, it should be replaced tothedepth of five or six inches over the crowns of tho roots. If the soil is at all hard, it should be carefully forked over ; and whatever else is omitted, do not fuil to scatter over this surface, a plenty of good manure, well rotted. The winter rains will carry much of it down to the roots, and in return, tender and delicious shoots will come up in the spring. In connec tion with Asparagus, we would call the attention of our readers to another plant, not much cultivated at the South, but which is desirable, on account of its be ing ready for the table as soon or sooner than Asparagus-we allude to the Sea Kale. It is a perennial, with large root, like li Horse Radish, from which long, large and delicate leaf stalks shoot up in the spring. These leaf stalks, blanched j by sand piled above the crown of the plant, are boiled and dressed like Aspara gus; and we much prefer them to the latter. It is propagated by dividing the root or from seed. Seedling plants are liable to be killed by the sun at the South ; but after the first year, appear to do remarkably well. SOILING vs. PASTURING.-Let me recite! the experience and practice of a friend of minc. Coming into possession of about niuo acres of land in the neighborhood of a good market, made by the demands of a large literary institution, he cast about as to what was to be cone. Two cows and u horse was the stock in trade, for neat cattle. Ile was obliged to pay per season, men for pasturage, what they thought it was worth, and at the same time it was no small job to drive his cows back and forth, 'lhat determined him to keep his cows in the barn. The greatest trouble was the rapid accumula tion of manure. By good husbandry he properly secured that, he kept feeding it to his crops. Finding his crups increas ing, he added another cow. Another cow only made more manure. More manure husbanded in the same way made more crops, and the third year he added an other cow. Now began another serious diffiulty. His barn was too small. Still, at the end of the fourth year he put in another cow and set himself to work to get up a new barn, and when I last saw him he had a new barn with modern im provements, of good size, a horse, a pair of cattle, and five cows, and yet had not thought of buying more land, but want ing one more cow. Now people who do not want a large accumulation of manure and a gradual increase of crops, should not adopt that style. But it seems to me that in our towns were homesteads are in small lots and not easily procured, no better course could be pursued than soiling the cows, and at the same time fattening the soil.-New England Home stead. PRCKJRESSIva FARMING.-It is with farming precisely as with every other bu .mess ; it must be attended to or it will not pay. This is more so now than formerly. For now machinery does the work of hand-labor ; and science is ad ding success, which the common farmer cannot reach-hence he is found in the rear of profits and general success. There mast be intelligence. The advancement _ cf fanning ku nude this po, "SJonfiiog"^ land is getting to be among tho thing.? that were. This, however, is less the case on thc prairies than in the east. An old fashioned farmer stands but a poor chance there. He is constantly selling out, to " better his condition," which is not done by buying another farm. He is generally glad to get rid of his, and not get him another '* incumbrance." We must then, as the country improves, im prove with it-and that by infurmi ourselves, both by reading and conversa tion with those who know.-Rural World ?Hungarian Grass Seed. The Agricultural Department at Wash ington, sent to this place, sometime ago a bag of Hungarian Grass Seed for gen eral distribution. A good many of farmers wera so fortunate as to get package of them. The following infor mation respecting the Hungarian grass, important to said farmers : "The Department of Agriculture hav ing recently sent, to the Southern an Southwestern States, a quantity of the Hungarian grass seed, and inquiries hav ti jg been made as to its value and man ncr of culture, dca, it has been deemed proper to give the information sought Many farmers have kept both horses and horned stock through the Winter with no other feed than Hungarian grass ; the an mais coming nut of Winter quarters superior condition. This grass is now generally used and highly esteemed for forage ; is used green or dry ; is very productive; of quick growth, and flour ?shes well in dry soil. Flint, in his val able work on grasses, says of the Hun garian Millet : " It is an annual forage plant, germinates readily, withstands th drought remarkably, remaining green even when other vegetation is parched up, and if arrested in dry weather the least rain will restore it; furnishes an abundance of green fodder, relished by all kinds of stock." it flourishes in some what light and dry soils ; attains great luxuriance in soils of medium consistency and well manured. lt may be sow broadcast or in drills, and cultivated like other varieties of millet. Extract from Monthly Report, Department of Agricuh tnre, May and Jane, 1867." -_____ ? ? Spring at the Foot of the Hill. There's a dear, sweet rpot 'way down in the patt To which tny heart over turns with a sigh, And my tears fall fast as leaves in the blast, When the wind* of Autumn are hurrying by. Tis the happy place where I drank my fill And cooled my burning thirjt with joy, From the gushing cpring at the foot of the hill Where I drank when I was a boy. In tho old ?t?ne-bou?e stuudiug high above, With its honest fron! and opeu do >r, Dwelt the de-rest friend, of my boyhood's love In the g?y and the happy times of yore. ' Oe tb-ir love uad their frioudehip musing still, I dream with ?weet but saddened joy, Of the gushing ?pring at tho foot of the hill, Whuro I drank v.hun I w_j a buy. I lo ik around me and the friends are gone, Who played with me there in my boyhood's time And ?till through thu world I am wandering on Now drcanibg a dream ani now muttering a rhyme. Cut up through tho mist of m emory still, Like music heard from tho land of joy, Comes tho gushing at tho loot of the hill, Where I drank when I was a boy. In tho valley below, whero the maple shade Grows dark on the mound of her early grave Lies sleeping forever a gent?o maid, Who was lovely as God to earth e'er gave. And the stream flows on in ita music still As it comes with a hymn of joy, From the gushing spring at thu foot of the hill, Where I drank when I was a boy. Attend to Your Fences. As Spring approaches everybody is desirous of fixing up the fences around their houses and making them look as well as possible. Nothing will do. this bettet and at the same time as cheaply a whitewash. Whitewash is one of the most valuable articles in the world when properly applied. It prevents not. only the decay of wood, but conduces greatly to the healthiness of all buildings whether of wood or stone. Outbuildings and fences, when not painted, should be sup plied once or twice a year with a good coat of whitewash, which should be pre pared in the following way : Take a clean water-tight barrel, or other suitable cask, and put into it a half bushel of lime. Slake it by pouring wa ter over it, boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity to cover it five inches deep, and stir it briskly until thoroughly slacked. When the slacking has been effected, dis solve it in water, and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one of common salt. These will cause the wash to harden, and prevent it cracking, which gives an unseemly appearance to the work. If desirable, a beautiful cream color may be communicated to the above wash, by adding three pounds of yellow ochre ; or a good pearl or load color, by the addi tif of lamp vine or ivory black. For fawn color, add four pounds of umber, Turkish or American, the latter is the cheapest, one pound of India red, and on pound common lamp-black. This wash may be applied with a common whitewash brush, and will be found much superior both in appearance and durablity, to com mon whitewash. THINGS TO REMEMBER.-If you do not keep your paper, cut this out and put it where you can find it : A surveyor's chain is 4 poles or 76 feet divided into 100 links or 792 inches A square chain is 16 square poles; and 10 square chains are an acre. Four rods are an acre, each containing 1,240 square yards, 34,787 feet, or 24 yards and 28 inches on each side. A pole is 5? yards each way. An acre is 4,840 square yards, or G9 yards, 1 foot S-j- inches each way; and three acres are 120 yards and a half each way. A square mile, 1,760 yards each way, is 640 acres ; half a mile, or 880 yards each way, is 160 icres; a quarter of a mile, or 440 yard? each way, is a park or farm of 40 acres ; and a furlong, or 220 yards each way, is 10 acres. An exchange ha;t the following, as an excellent system of gardening for ladies: Make up your beds early in the morn ing; sew buttons on your husband's shirts; do not rake up any grievances; protect the young and tender branches jf your family ; plant a smile of good lemper ?ti your fuie ; and carefully root )ut all angry feelings, and expect a r?ood ;rop of happiness. A Dacotah chap thinks he has found Paradise. Hear him : " No income tax ; io infernal revenue ; no spies to see if :ou treat a friend on Sunday ; no special poice ; no dog ta::, no poll tax, school ax or bounty fund. And to end with he Indians and half-breeds can't tell one greenback from another, to all our ones j ur xe tens," pe sj ur MAN?RK FOR IRISH POTATOES.-For one acre, take $ bushels of wood ash, 6 bushels of quick lime (oyster shell lime should have the preference, if it can bo obtained,) 4 bushels of plaster, and 2 bushels of salt, making 9.0 bushels in all ; mix thoroughly together, and apply in the hill, at a rate which will carry 20 bushels over an acre. The above supplies the essential ingre dients for a large growth of potatoes, and something more, provided the soil be not excessively meagre ; and if there be an excess of these ingredients over the re quirements for the present crop, it will be very sure to remain in the soil for the benefit of future crops. Especially will it be so, if the succeeding crops be pota toes, and if the tops be left each year to rot on the ground, so that the potash they contain (this being the most important ingredient in the mixture,) may go to the benefit of the succeeding crop. I will here say, that from actual experiment I have learned that although rotation in crops is undoubtedly beneficial, generally, the potato may be made an exception, if treated to the foregoing compost-Mor ris' Practical Farmer. THE CHEAPEST FOOD.-The cheapest and most nutritious vegetable used for food is beans. Professor Liebig says that pork and beans form a compound of substances peculiarly adapted to furnish all that is necessary to support life. A quart of beans costs say fifteen cents ; half-pound of pork ten cents. This, as every housekeeper knows will feed a small-family for a day with good strength ening food. Four quarts of beans and two pounds of corned beef, boiled to rags, in fifty quarts of water, will furnish a good meal to forty men at a cost of one dollar-two cents and a half a meal. A Tale. Two maidens were walking in the grove, (They both were growing old,) The one to tell a talo of love, Tho other to be told. " He is not rich," th j older raid, " Nor handsome, nor high born; The man whom I propose to wed Most other girls would scorn." "What is he then t you make me fear;" The maiden's toars fell fast; " He was the first to offer, dear, And ho may be the last" -* > ? Couldn't See The Point. Bill A-, like many a smarter man. laboured under the delusion that he pos sessed a splendid voice, and " oft in the stilly night," but more frequently in broad day, he startled the echoes of the sur rounding woods and hills witn what he called thc " delicious notes" of his favour ite "Annie Laurie;" or, in his word.*, " Annie Lowry." One day Hill was down on the river bank, among thc laurel, polishing his gun, working away in utter oblivion ol* all the world, encouraging himself with an occa sional " snatch of song," when he was suddenly hailed from the other side of the stream with : " Hallo, over there !" "Hallo, yourself!" answered Bill, peering through the thicket, when he saw the brigade quartermaster, who contin ued : " Seen any of my mules about here ?" "No" replied Bill, testily; "I don't keep your cussed mules." " I suppose not," retorted the quarter master dryly ; " only I heard a d-1 of a braying over there, and thought it might be them ; but I find it is only a stray jackass !" The officer rode off, and Bill, scratch ing his head for awhile, observed : " Well, 1 'spect Captain R- said somelhin' sharp then-if a feller could only-see the p'int!" Bill-honest booby-got a transfer to an artillery company, because he couldn't get a furlough-he was " bound to have so me thin-' "-and, being sent to a caisson one day for some article, opened a chest and popped his head in, pipe and all ; the consequence was. he has never been heard of since. A Disgusting Exhibition! We were stationed at Howlett's house, on James river, in the summer of 18G4, ind were often under the fire of Butler's gunboats and land batteries, fortunately suffering but few casualties. Our guns were one afernoon hotly engaged with the enemy, when General Lee and staif rode up, dismounted, and took their posi tion, with field-glasses in hand, immedi itely in front of the house, almost in the /ery path of the enemy's shot and shell, rhe officers of our command, with a jraiseworthy regard for the safety of their nen, ordered them into a bomb-proof vhich had recently been constructed. 3ut who was to keep them in ? The brave ellows had become so accustomed to the I Yankee dinner-pots," as they called the ifteen inch shells, that they cared little ibout them, and 'ere ten minutes elapsed nost of them were out again ; some ?romenading the broad escarpment of the ireastworks, some smoking, or playing beckers under thc shade of their bowers, nd some cooking. Happening to peep nto the bomb-proof nfter a while one of he officers discovered Sam G-lying ?thin, his fingers in his ears, and wincing t each explosion. " Come, Sam," said the lieutenat " don't ie there like a sick dog. The boys are II outside, and General Lee is down at lia house, looking on as cool as a cuoutn e.*. Get up and be a man." ?' Oh. let me alone !" groaned Sam ; may be General Lee can see something iteresting iu it, but it seems to mea rf- rf isgusting exhihition /" The lieutenant left him. WHAT Dir.

I'LL KEEP 'EM AWAKE.-Near Newark lived a pious family who had adopted an orphan, who, by the way, was rather un denvitted. He had. imbibed strict views on religious matters, however, and once asked his adopted mother if she didn't think it wrong for the old farmers to come to church and fall asleep paying no bet ter regard to the service. She replied she did. Accordingly before going to church the next Sunday, he filled his pock et with apples. One bald head ed old man who invariably went to sleep during tue sermon, particularly attracted his atten tion. Seeing him at last nodding, and giving usual evidence of being in the " land of dreams," he took the astonished sleeper a blow with an apple on the top of his bald pate. The minister and aroused congregation at once turned round and indignantly gazed at the boy, who merely said to the preacher, as he took another apple in his hand, with a sober honest expression of countenance, "You preach; I'll keep 'em awake!" .-? ? ? When Jimmy O'Reagan, of the Virginia regiment, was captured at Kerns town and conveyed, with a few other prisoners, to Winchester, the provost mar shal, thinking to have som? fun out of him, began questioning him upon a varie ty of subjects, receiving witty answers, and winding up with "Now, Paddy, what was your father ?" " Me father was a farmer, barrin1 he had no farm at all, at all." " And what was your mother?" " She was a woman, begorra 1" "That will do," said the officer ; " you may stand aside." " But I'd like to ask yer honour a question or two, if ye've no objections," said Jimmy. " None at all," was the reply ; " go on." " Well then," began Jimmy, "beggin' yer pardon, what's yer father ?" " My father? Why he's a merchant." " Very good ; an' what's yer mother?" " My mother is a lady, sir !" with a frown. " Ah ! then it was yer grandmother that was a monkey, an' that accounts for yer inquasitiveness !" retorted J' amy. The roar thai followed shook the build ing. A good thing is told of a chap, who was arrested in Farmville, Va., just after the close of the war, charged with assault and battery. When arraigned, the priso ner said : " Gentlemen, you ought to deal easy with me. He called me a d-n rogue, and I did:t touch him ; he called me a d-n rascal, and I didn't touch him ; but he called me a d-n Yankee ; and, gentlemen, I couldn't stand that !"
