Editors Southern Cultivator: ? I have bad a fair test of the lasting of timber, when cut at different times of the year. It would have been worth thousand of dollars to me, had I known it years ago. Lot No. 1, was cut in July 1860?house logs to put up cabins; re<j oak. They were put up, but not covered; been exposed the whole time; still sound. No. 2 was square timber for gin house, of red oak, post oak, and over cup, was gotten Out m December, 1860 ; piled up and covered with plank till 1863; exposed aince that time, sound on the outside about 2 inchesperfectly rotten in the heart; red oak the worst rotted. No. 8 was of same kind of timber, subject to more exposure; gotten out in June, 1861; much sounder than No. 2; green timber sawed in July, 1861; subject to B&me exposure as No. 2; still quite sound. My conclusion from this is, cut your ?l">n in Vnll Wf_Tnlv *.nd A ncrnst DiUiWA *T UVU AM , T ? best. All timber cat after the fall of the leaf will heart-rot. Yours, SAN MARCUS. An Egg Teste*.?An egg tester has recently been patented in England, it consists of a cubical box, with central funnel shaped openings in two contiguous sides, opposite which a mirror is placed at an angle of forty-five degrees. On looking into the box, through either hole, the image oi the other hole, reflected by the mirror, appears directly opposite. To test eggs tnc box is placed with one of the holes uppermost, in which the egg is placed. The light then transmitted through the egg, forms a sharply defined disc. If the egg be fresh, the illuminated circle will be clear, if stale, the disc will be cloudy, and if bad, the image will be dark and unsightly. The apparatus, it is atsted, mar be used by daylight or candlelight. Tne light reflected by the mirror to the eye passes entirel) tnrough the substance of the egg, and consequently every change from perfect trans; lucency to thorough opacity can be observed. Corn Meal for Milch Cows.?Th< statement is often made, through the agri cultural press, that corn meal is the bes feed for cows as a milk-producer. Win this should be repeated, when the experi ence of almost every farmer is to the con trary, we cannot tell, unless it be for th< reason that corn meal is the best grain fee< for cows not giving milk. There is n< grain so good for keeping up animal hea and producing flesh and fat, and it is use< in winter by most dairymen for this pur pose; but as a milk-producer it is the poor est grain that can be given. Oat meal an< wheat bran are far superior. These state ments are based upon actual experimen and the experience of many fanners. Preserved Corn.?As the season fo green corn is near at hand, we will stat< for the benefit of those who wish to enjo^ a luxury in the winter time, that green cori may be preserved in-salt and water during the whole year, and will be almost as palat able as when first plucked from the stalk Mrs. D. H. Byerly sent us some last weel which she put up in salt and water las year, and we found it very nice after a lit tie soaking. Make the water salt enoug] to bear an egg, and place the ears of con in it and keep them submerged. That's al that is necessary to be done in preserving corn.

Archie'B father sent him on !& as it was some miles-oitj Jtte tea mm ntyt the horse. It was a fine sunshiny morning, and Ajrohie: enjoyed. the ride asyop^fejg welt think. - He made the good old fcorw go fast or go slow, j ust aa he had a mind to, and the spring birds were singing on every tree he passed, ffis father told* hi? not to stop on the way. So he went and did his erratic^ and was trotting home with a merry heart, when he caught site of somi boys in a farm yard. . And what should he do but ride into the yard just to say "good morning," that wai all. The boys were playing marbles. Ax> chie'watched them from the horse's back, until he got so interested that he slipped ofl his saddle and took his torn in the game; and he played and played, until two houri were gone. Arcnle was quite frightened when hi found how the time went. He jumped on Charlie's baok, and away he went. Bui nothing looked so pleasantly as before. Tin fields were as green, and the sky as .blue, and the sun as bright, and the birds as gay, but Archie, was not as happy. He wai innocent when he rode along in the morning, and now he felt guilty. He haddozu exactly what his father told hfa not to. He had stopped by the way, all the whilf knowing his father was waiting for the er rand. "Oh, dear, what excuse can I make V thought Archie.. Excuse ? why none. Then was no excuse to make. Speak the truth like an honest fellow. Pretty soon Archil spied his father coming down the-road U meet him. His lather was atraia Jew *om< accident had happened. "I. am gladyoi have reached home safely my son. ~Whai has detained yon?" asked his father, ' "I lost my way," said Archie, "and il took me some time to get right again." Hii father, .of course, believed nim. He neva caught Archie in a lie before. He wea home and said the same thing to his moth er. Ho you think he felt any happier foi it ? No, no, no. , He was in a crooke< path, and you never find peace there. Hi tried to appear easy and happy; but h was uneasy and miserable, and did no; , really like to look his parents in the faee He did not sleep well that night. .No , body sleeps well on a lie. He did not wak< up bright. Nobody wakes up bright on i lie. He was not comfortable all day.' No bodody is comfortable with a lie for a bo som companion. Po you think they are So it went on several weeks, and -Archi I was almost'forgetting it; almost, I said, fo i there was still a sore spot whenever h thought of it, and that sore spot on hi > memory he could never get over. By-and i by the gentleman" in whose yard he stoppe came to see his father. . As soon as Archi set eyes on him his heart beat violently, an he turned pale. t In a few minutes the man turned to Ai i chie, and asked, "How did you get horn i the other day, my boy ? Our boys had , very pleasant visit from you." How d you think Archie felt ? Mr. Mann the: - turned to his father, and said, "You mac let Archie come again. When he m I there, a few weeks ago, he only stayed ? ' bout two hours. We hoped he had com to spend the whole day." There, it was all out. His father an mother had caught him in a direct lie. Ai chie felt so ashamed, so sorry; and yet h a had rather have it out than in. It was * relief to have his parents know it, and t t have their forgiveness. Nor was that all , Archie felt that he had grieved his heavei . ly Parent. He knew that "lying lips ar an abomination to the Lord.". An abom 3 nation! Think how God must hate liari j Archie felt troubled and humbled, and prai 3 ed God to forgive him this great sin, f< t Jesus' sake. \ j Not a great while after, his mother sei . him to buy her something at the'shop. Aj ? chie did so, but did not bring home the rigl j change. f, "Is that all the money, Archie ?" askc t his mother, looking him right in the ey? "Yes, mother." "I hope, my dear son, you are not di r ceiving me again," she said. d Archie was honest this time, and it a 7 most broke his heart to be thus suspected i yet he felt it was just, and went away so; I rowfully.
