It is desirable to avoid, as far as possible, an annual expenditure for labor in tho management of our lands. We require a certain amount of for age for winter. Pulling fodder is one of the most expensive and least profitable of the operations of the farm. Well cured fodder is the most palatable forage which can be given to horses, trio is the champagne the most agreeable of all artificial fluids for man. But fodder is too expensive for the farmer's horse, and the champagne too expensive for the far mer man. Just think of a farmer going into a hundred acre field With a gang of bands and handling every separate blade of uvcry corn stalk. Contrast this with a mower cutting down eight" acres of grass a day, sity sixteen tons, raked up by a horse rake, tendered by horse power, load ed into the wagon and thence into barn by a hny-lWtcr, untouched by human hands in the winde process: But there is a cheaper process than this. Jt is one which cannot be adopted at the North, because the climate will not allow it. This cheaper plan is to provide winter pas tures for our mules, horses, colts, cattle and sheep, thereby enabling them to mow nnd save their own hay without cost to us, either in the way of negroes, mowers, hay slacks or barns. The way to obtain a good winter pasture is simple and not expensive. Take n piece of wood bind, thin out the worthless timber, leaving rail trees and mast-bearing trees. The exact distance cannot be given, be cause trees differ very much in the araoiiBt of shade which they produce. Tho Kentucky rule is to thin the timber, so that the ground shall get sunlight at least a portion of the day, othcrwiso the grass will be sour and rejected by live stock. The ground should be well sprouted; grubbing is not necessary, though it is best. The tree trops and brush should be piled nnd burned, and the ashes scattered. Except for appearance, the logs need not be piled and burned. The ground should not be plowed; grass seeds should Jbc sown on the unbroken ground, and then all the available live stock of the farmer should be turned in upon it, to trample in the seeds. Hogs are excellent for this purpose, feeding them shelled corn, scattering as widely as possible, and feerRngiiri\ dhTevenl place ever)' day. The seed sown, should consist of orchard, blue, herd's and meadow oat grass, if the latter can be obtain ed. One bushel of this mixture to he sowed to the acre?one half orchard grass and the other half of the other seeds, in equal proportions. Pork How to Cut and Trim. Have the hog laid on his back on a stout table. Clean the carcass of the leaf fat. Take off his feet at the ankle joints. Cut the bend off close to the shoulders, separating the jowl from the skull, and open the skull lengthwiso *on the under side, so as to remove the brains fully. Remove the backbone in its whole length, am! with a sharp knife cut off the skin, then the fat, leaving only about one half Vilich of fat on the spinal column. Tho middlings or sides are now cut from between lb 2 quarters, leaving the shoulders square shaped, and the ham pointed, or it may be rounded to suit your fancy. The ribs arc next removed partially or entirely with the sides. The trimmings or fat from the bams and flabby parts of the sides are rendered up with I he backbone strips for lard. The sausage meat is cut off from the fat and ribs, and other lean pieces are used for the same purpose The thick part of the backbone that lies between the should ers is called chin; it is cut from the. tapering bony end, and the latte^ part called the backbone by way ol distinction. The backbone is used wliilo fresh; the chine is better after being smoked. FjlOWKK Coi.ons.?The London and Provincial Illustrated Newspaper says: One would hardly think that the fragrant violet and the bright colored iris would ever be utilized in commerce, hut it seems that, an Ital ian chemist has just found out that they may bo put to some other pur? t^posb ffrWJ- tJuU. of gJa^d^iiing^nTTey e and refreshing the nose. They yield, it appears, a very line blue color, and this is so sensitive to exterior influ ences as to render it of considerable value to the analytical chemist. Most people know that one ol the best and most delicate testa employed by chemists to ascertain whether u solu tion Is ncid or not io to dip into it n pieco of blue litmus paper, which at once reddens if the least trace of acidity exists. lu like manner, the reddened litmus paper may be em ployed in searching foi alkalies, for the paper returns to a blue tint pa coining in contact with tin so. The coloring principle of the violet and iris is found to be more delicate still than litmus, and, for this reason, we may [expect soon to see phyllocyanin ? iof so ,thc new color is called?in troduced into all our laboratories. Fencing. ? In all sections many thousand panels of fence ore needless ly made use of; by having the fields of auch a shape as to require too great a proportion to encltwc a given area. The most economical form is that, of a .square, and as we leave this form for an oblong, wc rapidly increase the amount of fence needed to enclose a given number of acres. A square of ten acres will require two hundred and sixty four panncls offence to enclose it, while a field of the same area, but twice as long as wide, will require three hundred and thirty1 panels. Borne fence may be saved by working the fields in pairs, with the usual rotatiou of corn, oats, wheat and peas. Two adjacent Hehls will do without any dividing fenco. The only time during the rotation when a fence could be wanted would be alter the wheat was ofl in the fall, when the stubble should never bo pastured anyhow. Newspapers. 1 am sure that every person will be willing, as I am, to acknowledge, in the most ample terms, the informa tion, the instruc-ion and amusement derived from the public press.? Lord Lyndhursl. The newspaper is the chronicle of civilization, the common reservoir into which every stream pours its living waters, and at which every man may come and drink: it, is the newspaper which gives to liberty practical life, its perpetual vigilance, its unrnlaxing activ ty. The news paper is a daily and sleepless watch man, that reports to you every dan ger which menaces the. institutions of your country, and its interests at home and abroad. The newspaper informs legislation of the public opin ion, find it informs p'cpplojdjf the acts _ofilcgisfati"on;-rlHi9 kcc(Wr^f**ny) that constant sympathy, that good under standing between people and legisla tors, which conduces to the mainten ance of order, and prevents the stern necessity lor revolution.?Sir K. L, Jhtfucr. ? .mill . - . ??! i i?? To Young Ladies. In marrying make your owti match; do not marry any man to get rid of him, or to oblige him, or to save him. The men who would go to destruc tion without you, will quite as likely go with you, and perhaps, drag you along. Do not marry in haste lest you rcpont at leisure. Do not marry for a home and a living, when by tak ing care of health you can be strong chough to earn your own living. Do not place yourself habitually in the society of any suitor until you have decided the question of marriage; human wills are weak, and people often become bewildered, and do not know their error until it. is too late, (let away from their influence, settle your head, and make up your mind alone. A promise may be made in a moment of sympathy, or ever half delirious eestacy, which must be re deemed through years ofs'orrov, toil and pain. Do not rush thoughtlessly, hastily, into wedded life, contriry to the counsel of your best friends. Love can wait; that which cannot wait is something of a very different char acter. -.ina> - - - ts shadow. The owner of l'?c donkVYi who nocoiupauicil him, objected to thisi declaring to him that when ho let the animal the uao of its shadow was not included iu the bargain. The dispute at last grew so warm that it got to blows, and finally gave rise to an action at law. After having said so much, Dcmosthens'continued the defence of his client; but the auditors, whose curiosity he had piqued, were extremely anxious to know how the judges decided on so singular a cause. Upon this, the orator " commented severely on their childish injustice, in devouring with attention a paltry story about an ass's shndoft, while they turned a .deaf ear to a cause in which the life of n human being was involved. From that day, when a man showed a preference for discuss ing email and contemptible subjects to great and important ones, he was said "to dispute on the shadow of an ass/'-"Ncics\Htpcr J\irayrajih. Evils of Early Rising. The attention of medical men in this great republic, observes Hawk eye B?rdet to, is called to the injudi cious and absolutely hateful habit, much in vogue in the rural districts and among early risers in the city, of getting up in the night to eat This nocturnal meal is faintly disguised under the name of breakfast, and tho?'c is no doubt it has much to do with creating, spreading and sustain ing the national disease, dyspepsia. The custom is sometimes visited with severe judgments, but nothing seems able to deter its votaries from con turning its practice. We once took summer boarding with a man who used to cat in the night, and roused up all his household to share the un natural meal. One night he stirred us all up at 4:30 o'clock to cut. We rose and ate. That very day his best cow immolated herself on a wire fence, one of his horses bit himself with a rattlesnake, a reaping machine ate up his best farm hand, a distant relative sent bis youngest boy a drum , his wife took to writing poetry, and one of his most popular, talented and handsome boarders flitted, leaving an unpaid summer's board bill to re member him by. The latter circum stances as indelibly impressed upon our memory; we often think of it in connection with the somewhat strik ing coincidence that we never have been in that country since. Jolin A.
