Borne Reasons for Riverslflcri
Farming.
1. Because n nil or Jthe prevent
gvstem the market is over-stockd
with some product*. and tlie price
is corr r spondinelv low, while right
here at our doors, other firm pro.
ducts bring ns much ns in New
York citv, a great cantor of con
sumption and export. Diversity
of cropping tends to equalize prices.
2 Because diversity of cropping
means roti lion, and tinder a system
of rotation, larger crops ran In* pro.
duced each year, and the fertility
of the soil will last much longer
than when the same crop is sown
year after year.
3. Because it i safer. ITe who
Stakes all upon a single crop, mere
ly buys a ticket in a good lottery.
If everything proves favorable, he
gets a good tiling and a large sum
of moite** all at once. But il the
Crop proves a poor otic, lie is in a
correspondingly had condition.
4. It distribute* the labor, and
the cash receipts also, more equal
lv through the year. Il ns little
bills can be paid, us they heroine
due, and the long credit system dis
continued
5. Another advantage will arise
from fewer purchases at the groce

fare.—[Western Farmer
Scarcity of Fodder.
Ts there nnv former who fears
that his hnv .1 nil fodder will not
last until the next foil lor pullinj
tfr\ son? If so, let him sow emu
to he out when in bloom. We have
tried it hrmnleost and in drills and
much prefer the hitter mode of col
ture We have seen it stated tlnr
oix tons have heen made from one
acre. That result enuM occur on.
lv on land of exceeding fertility
From a rather care'css estimate we
have no doubt of having made font
thousand pounds on the same quan
tity of land, pretty heiiv'lv imin
ured, in the drill. Our plan was
thist The ground was well broken
up and laid off with furrows three
feet apart, with a lone roo’er plow
Thev were then widened with a I
shovel. The corn (selected) was
thick!v sptinhie i in these furrows
at the rate of 2 j to 3 bushels pet
acre. The manure (stable stai cow
accumulations) was plentifully scat
tered upon the corn in the furrows
and the whole ltglrly coveted with
a single fm row. When the corn
was from six to eight inches high,
it received the first plowing. In
about 15 days it w*s plowed again
with a sweep It received tin oth
er working and was cut when in
bloom. Cut in the morning with
hoes, and shock after J o clock.—
Tie around the top and cover w ith
a beaf made of the stalks. Be
careful to cut no more than ran he
taken up stid shocked each day.—
In a week it will be dry enough to
house, or put up in stacks. This
is better than ordinary fodder pull
ed from the stalks.
Those who may try this plan
will he disappointed in results nn
leas the ground is rich, and. the
gtalks will he too large unless the
corn is sown thick in the furrows.
We were satisfic* that it would
have been better to have had the
furrows two feet apart.
This fod ier is good lor stock, cut
and fed green, us well as when
cured, hut, if green, should be giv
en in moderate quant.ties.
If mow (I from the middle to the
last of Ma reh, two, and even three,
crops may he Taken from the same
land in one season.
Small patches, sown at intervals
•f two or three weeks, would keep
one supplied with green or cured
fodder a considerable nojdion of the
spring, and 'luring the whole sum

ample supply lor the winter lie
who tries this pi n. once, on rich
land will continue it every year.—

Slurs u Women.
At a dinner in New York, at
which no ladies were present, a
man, in responding to the toast, —
••Woman. ’ dwelt almost solely mi
the frailty of the sex—claiming
that the best of them were little
hotter than the worst,—the chief
difference I eing in thoir surroutid
mgs.
At the conclusion of the speech,
a gentleman lose and said: “1
trust the gentleman, in the appli
cation of his remarks, refers to his
own mother and sisters, not ours ”
The effect of lifts j o*l and time
ly rebuke was overwhelming ; and
iho maligner of woman was cover
ed with shame and contusion
This inn lent serves an excellent
purpose in prefacing a few words on
the subject.
Of all the evils prevalent among
men. we know of none more blight
ing in its moral effect than the ten
dency to speak slightly of the vtr
tues of woman. Nor is there any
thing in wnieli young men are so
thoroughly mistaken as in theesti
mate they form r f the integrity of
wniitiin-—not their ow n mothers and
sisters, thank Ood. ‘out of other
whom thev forget are sotTijbudy
vise’s mother and sisters.
Let young men remember th if
their chief happiness in life depends
on their faith in women. No world
ly wisdom, no misanthropic philos
ophy, im generalization can covet
or weaken this fundamenta' truth
It stand* like the record of (J and
himself—for it is nothing less than
ibis —and should put an everlast
ing >e.il upon lips that arc* wont to
sp-ak slightlv of women [Ex.
While a htwsbov was hanging

•‘Ah, lia! Where dues the sun

‘■ln the east ”
“Correct. Where does it set ?
“In the west.”
•That’s right. What is the
earth’s surface composed of?”
“Land and water, sir.”
‘•Right again. Is the world
round or flat ?"’
“Lessee,” mused the boy, sit
i ing dowu on a bench. “Well, 1
know dal and man had a tight
about that vety thing, hut 1 forgot
which licked !”
“Yes, sir,” yelled a preacher in
a Dakota church, one Sunday
morning, “there's more lying, an 1
swearing, anti stealing and general
deviltry to the square inch in tin
here town, than all tlie rest of the
American country,” and then the
ccngiegation got up slid dumped
the preacher out of tiie window.
