Bust Aoe of Mares for Hreedixo.—In reply to the question, “At what ago ought mures to breed, to make it host for them to colt, and to produce the best possible horse in the long run ?” a correspondent of tho Geuessoe Farmer states that the most solid horses nro from parents past ton years old. It iH quoted as tho opin ion of Col. Win. li. Johnston,of Virginia, an “old Napoleon of tho turf,” that if raising a mure for hreediug puposes only, one should commencee at two years old, if sho were well grown, not for the value of her first colt, but for tho extension of her breeding properties, and enlarging her nursing capacities. Corn For IIooh.—The Southern Plant er advises those who havo not yet plant ed (heir corn, to leave a portion of their crop only partially tbinuod, to be cut up and fed whole to tho hogs, stalk aud all, as soon as they lmvo gleaued the harvest flelds. ll fattens the hogs in summer, savos corn, nud is cheaper and better than root crops.

How long they have boon hidden from the view of those who now labor and toil over their rest, is beyond our knowledge. The articles which we have Roon and handled are a brass boiler, holding about one gallon, with tho evidence of long use, being burned out, as we say, at the bot tom, and in this was carefully placod a copper ladle, thin, and about the size of those now in use, the handle being about inches long, in fair preservation; a silver bracelet, Urge enough for a man’s wrist, thin, and three inches wide, iu fair state of keeping, with tho word “Chero kee," iu large English capitals engraved on it; a snuff-box, nt least supposed to havo beeu, apparently of boll metal, ob long shape, ubout four inches long oiul three wido, with the mime “Win. Feler- kio, 17.'»0," engraved in bold letters. On either side of.tbis relic is a handsomely en graved pictureof Abraham,about to slay bis son; tho alter, goat,and surrouudiug perfect. On the othor, “Ilagarin the Wilderness,” with her perishiug child aud the attendant angel, nre well executed ; a pair of modi- urn sized shears, much rusted ; a dozen or more lurgo rings of brass, full two aud u half inches in diameter, completed the list. The skeleton of tlio individual, whether mala or fcrnalo could not be doteriuined, was found surrounding this grave. Mr. Floyd thinks there nro many more, from tho fact that grain or any other thing planted there grows luxuriantly in mnuy places, while adjacent to it tho crop is poor.
