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 rv, and greater variety in the home 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 mer ami fall besides affording an ample supply lor the winter lie who tries this pi n. once, on rich land will continue it every year.— [Houston .louri.nl. 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.
