Passing the house of a friend, not long since, we observed his hogs were in better order than those of most of our neighbors at this time of unprecedented scarcity of grain. On enquiriug into the cause, he informed us that lie had given tliein but very little corn?that ho had a Bermuda grass patch which he occasionally plowed up, and on the roots of which his hogs kept in thq order we saw them. Would it not be wall for each farmer to have a field, according to the size of his stock, set in this (by many condemned and much abused) excellent grass, and kept apart from his cultivated holds proposely for his hogs in the winter, and for other stock in tlio sum uer I Wo have seen enough written on the subject,to know that many will be horrified at the very suggestion of introducing it. on to nnv nnrt nf a ) 0 ?J r " fisrm. But we can assure such, that a very narrow strip of woodland, and even some such fence-rows as arc not by any means unusual to be seen in this country, will effectually stop its creeping progress. Keep a border of woods, or such a fencerow around it, and to be eareftil to clean your plow well before leaving the Held,and wo will obligate to exterminate all that leaps its circumscribed bounds. It matures no seed, hence it cannot be scattered iu the excrements of cattle, as i.. not uu frequently the case with other grasaes. If our farmers nnd planters intended raising their own hogs and other stock, as every one should do even if he produces less cotton, instead of buying from Tenne*seo and Kentucky, at the most oxtravagaut prices when we arc least able to pay them, it is high time vvo were turning our attention t/? noma ?? ? crop. The pen, sweet potato anil turnip ?tno clover, and the grasses, should eaeh one occupy its place on the farm. Of the pea we can raise with our corn a great abundance, yearly, to fatten our pork in the fail. And if we plant the black or tory varieties, to carry our stock hogs pretty well throiurfi the winter.

Horses and cattle cannot live on cotton stalks, nor can negroes on the seed.?Farmer and Planter. Colic and Bots in Horses. A writer in the Southern Planter (Thos. J. Randolph) recommends a large dose ot laudanum or a weak solution of lye, for colie in horses. When the distension is such as to indicate a dangerous accuinulaj tion of air, the medicine for hoven cattle, viz: 2 drachms of chloride of lime, dissol| ved in two quarts of water, to be repeated within nn interval of an hour, would probably l>e found effectual. This writer also suites that the generally received notion of the action of hots, or grubs, 011 the stomach of the horse, is entirely croupous; and quotes the authority of some distinguished veterinarians of Europe, as follows: u The hots cannot, while they inhabit the stomach of the horse, give the animal any pain, for they are fastened on to the cuticular or inscnsiblo coat. They cannot | he injurious to the horse, for he enjoys the j most perfect health, while the cuticular coat of the stomach is filled with them.? They cannot be removed by medicine, for they are not iu that part of the stomach to which medichio is conveyed *, and if they were, their mouths are too deeply ly embedded"'in the mucus for any medicine that can be safely administered to affect them." Mr. Randolph, also remarks : "If the horse is opened the moment he dies, they are never found to have attacked the stomach. If he is killed suddenly in health and lies until ho is cold, they are found always to have eaten through the stomach. The hots are licked oft'by the horse and carried with the food into the stomach, where they attach themselves firmly, by means of a hook on each side of the mouth, to the mucus membrane. When full grown they pass out with the food, burrow in the ground and transform into the fly. When tho horse dies and his food fails, it is probably instinctive in them to cut their way out. In a horse that died from an inflammation of the stomach, the mucus coat having extensively separated they were found gathered upon tho sound parts which they hud cut through, the inflamed portion having no traces of iniurv from them. In supposing that grubs Are a disease of the horse, we iiave attributed effects during life to cause* happening after death?and what nostrums have been forced down the throat of the poor horse, to cure this imaginary disease, and with what confidence has the stomach, perforated after death by the grubo, been shown aa the cause of death !n A Lesson for Farmers. All the Bible is full of promises to those who trust in (Jod. A man must either believe the promises or give up the Bible, if he is honest with himself; and there are circumstances in the occupations of a farmer which should remind him continually of this, and make him more trustful and liherul. I can hardly iiuagino a good man going forth into his fields, and seeing the hope of the next year laid in the ground, without remembering, at times, such stri- | king passages as these: 4* There is that scattercth and yet increaseth," " lie that soweth little shall reap little, but he that so wet h plenteously shall reap plenteously." Moreover, the whole harvest is so evklentr ly the work of God, from first to last.? The manufacturer, if his produce is bad, justly taxes his men or his machinery.? The tradesman, if he loses, blames his want of foresight, or his unprincipled customers. Hut the farmer, having the liest workmen, tho host tools, the best seed,the longest experience, is still in the uncertainty, from first to last. Circumstances, which he can neither foresee, lior, foreseeing, control, keep him sensibly in God's hands?ami, if he is wise, resigned and trustful, l>e his fortune what it may. The worm, tho caterpillar, the fty, or drought, and rhin, cold and heat, hie very friends ?if they fail at the prospering .moment, render all his labors doubtful to the end. And therefore, being so entirely and manifestly in God's hands, he should rest satisfied, and not neglect his duty, confident that he is more likely, not less likely, to prosper, evon though his alms are what the world would consider rash ; but not rash, because they arc given to Him,aful with faith in him from whom ho holds all that ho enjoys.?J/etff/alf.

They were examiued by a committee, and found of fine flavor, and the committee expressed the opinion that the art of preserving fruit in this manner is practicable and valuable, and thatthe fruit, when carefully put up, can be made to keep as long as may be desirable. The method of preserving Is thua gioen to the New York State Society by Mr. Smith '.^-Southern Cultivator.

She was almost three years old, and I had never seen a more beautiful child ; her cheeks and lips full and red with health, her blue eyfc kindling with excitement, and her fbnn so plump and round, that when I lifted her to mv knee she said, "I fat as butter? "Why are you so anxious that it should be spring, dear ?" said I, supposing it was on account of the sunshine, birds, and flowI ers. "Alie will go to church in spring," 1 was her reply. "Why does Alio wish to go to church 1" " God is there? she re- 1 plied solemnly. "Do you love God, Al- 1 thea ?" "O very, very ranch." "To-morow | will bo Spring, darling."

In a few minutes she returned, saying, "Mamma, can I go 1 to church to-morrow, and hear them pray < and sing and prenchl" "No, my dear, to- i mon-ow is Wednesday ; and it will then ' be three days before the Sabbath."

Just before sunset she complained of extreme weariness, and soon dropped to sleep.? When she awoke she was burning willi fever, and her fattier went for a physician. During his absence she beoomedelirions, and when the physician approaced the bedside, he turned away sadly, saying u Madam it is too late." Another physican was summoned, and another, and a forth even, but of no avail. Her disease was scarlet brain fervor' and in eleven hours from tier first complaining, her spirit had passed away. We buried her on the morrow, a balmly, lovely day?the first of the spring.
