It is not miflicient that BCtd should be simply good, it should bo the lesl. While every one will rely more or less ui)on his own growing, nnd al so upon those obtained from friends and neighbors, by way of exchange, there are alwnvH homo to bo hail in t in , O . . Q ' i . greatest perfection only from tho rcg-' ular seed growers, or their agents particularly tho now vni-ieties. It is none to early to examine stocks of setd on hand, und to commence- pur chases; partially to secure a sufficient supply of tho best kinds, and partially for the purposo of testing samples of thorn before planting. Seeds may bo tried very easily by any ouo in an or dinary living-room, bv planting them in ilower-pota, or small shallow wood en boxes or pans with bottom holes for drainage about three-quarts full of light sandy loam, lly sowing a few of each kind in rows about an inch npart, quito a variety may be sufficient ly tested to prove whether they do or do not retain their power ofyogotation. Ladies will find this practice, ap plied to llower seeds, an interesting diversion, and if they choose to be stow a little oxtrn caro upon somo of the tender seedlings of some kinds in tended lor tho llower boils, by trans planting into small pots and nursing in tho house until warm spring weath er, and then re-transplanting into tho open border, they will enjoy the pleas uro of tho increased carliuess of bloom. Coal Ashes ok Giues. I havo ex perimented with coal ashes, and find them all worth applying, although it is doubtful whether it will pay lor a long cartage. I staked out a piece of an old meadow and spread coal ash es on quito thick, early in tho spring. Tho inlluenco was quito as apparent as n coat of manure or of plaster would havo been. It started clover, and tho grass was limber and thicker. Thero LLIUDC? unit iiuijti;!. ? 1 i, r ,.( ii 1 quantity of wood ashes.but not enough to account for tho cfl'cct produced on my meadow. I ngreo with you that it is better to spread coal ashes on tho soil than to mix them with manure. 0 All Witl HOlllSO 111,111 RlUIVil it niuuu . Coughing Houses Cause and CunE. It is well known that feeding horses on clover hay makes them cough, but tho why and wherefore may not be so gen erally known. Prom' observation I havo becomo fully satisfied that tho manner of feeding hay to horses is tho cause. Tho usual custom is to let them draw it through a rack, thus stripping off tho fine dust which ad heres to tho stalk, which being drawn into the lungs in breathing produces ' tho couch. Tho cnio consists in re moving tho causo that is, tho racks ami all lowing tho animals to tako their food in tho natural way. I havo re moved fill of mine, and now feed my horses on the barn floor, having a breastwork sufficiently high for them to cat over. In this way they can be fed hay without raising a dust, thoy get none under their feet and tho labor of cleaning out mangers is saved. "What ever is left is easily pushed out with a rake into tho yard for tho cattle. Tho dust on tho hay will do tho horses no hai-m if taken into the stomach. Since making tho improvements above men tioned in my feeding apparatus, I am not troubled with coughing horses. There is no patent on my invention, ily brethren can use it freely. Car. Country Genllcnntn. Oxkn and Houses. Tho enormous wasto of horso-lifo by our armies, both North and South, affords material for serious consideration to stock-raisers, and farmers generally. According to Gen. Halleck's official report, our cav alry average a now sot of horses overy two months 1 "Wo do not know what proportion of thorn aro entirely used up, but from what wo can learn, wo presume that at least one-half of them aro killed or dio outright, whilo tho other half aro mostly permanently dis abled for such service. Of tho latter, perhaps ono-half may, with ordinary care, bo ablo to do an average amount of farm work for some years to come. But fow of them, however, will over find their way back to New England or tho AVcst, from which thoy woro taken; so that, for all practical pur poses, wo may safely calculato that none of tho thousands of horses taken from our farms for tho army will over rchim. Their labor is entirely lost to our farmers. Prices of all kinds of stock and pro duce must rule Inch for a loutr timo to come, but onormous consumption of horses must inovitably exert a double prossnro in regard to them, and wo do- Biro to call tno attention of our farm ers to tho important points connected with tho subject This scarcity of horses and conse quent high prices will stiraulato the breeding of horses for somo years to como, and our farmers may bo certain that colts will pay better than over be fore. As manual labor will also bo high, it will generally be for the inter est of farmers to raiso thoso things which require tho least j and in tins viow, tho raising of colts has Bomo de cided advantages, Eaoh onp, however, must bo his own judge as to whether colt-raising may bo profitable under his circumstance. Tho second point to which wo wish to call attention, is iu rolation to tho employment of oxen in place of hor ses upon our farms. Thero aro but few farms on whiph oxen may not be kept with decided profit. A yoko of oxan can be boutjiit for tb rmc of u good horse, can bts kept almost or quite M ctiMp, will do nearly double the YWH!k ou a farm, and, if etirtfully uaed and well fed, will sell, after the '-rops are id) in, for a profit over their cost 'i'heivt aro but fow frmers who could not eauily realize a profit of thirty to liit d'llliuba our by pui chasing us. m in tho etufv part of ili .int , Mj i .oliir. j- uniu tiio i,Lt it oiulv it.i. x, yuiifiousiceuinganucaro- ful usage, thoy will give a net profit on heirgrowth,besidc8doing work onough iu jjiv iui mi uwy uiu. c Know larni- era who realize a profit of fifty to one i huudred dollars a year, by adopting a mended.

Mr. George Augustus Sala, tho cor respondent of tho London 'lVlegraph, and tho noted writer of fictions about divers places, persons, and things, for tho London newspapor, thus carica tures "Willard's Hotel in "Washington: As for tho appetite of the men folks, thero is littlo to bo wondered at in it. They havo always in viow at nioal times a high moral purposo. Thoy havo a duly to perform. They pay three dol lars a day lor their board at lllard s and uro determined to have their mo ney's worth for their money. Thus, thoro is breakfast from half jmsl seven to eleven, dining from half past one to three, dining ngain at five, tea at half past seven, and supper at nine. You may bo always eating, and there do scorn to bo guests at "Willard's who never miss a meal, but aro continu ally gorging. Some art is requisite, some finesse has to be exercised, how ever, to obtain a meal to your liking. Thero is nothing on tho tablo itself savo tho knives, forks, and glasses, the castors and tho condiments, such as celery, anchovies, dried smelts, cod's sounds, olives, salted cucumber, beet root, and cold slaugh. !No dishes aro 1 J -I t handed to you, and unless you arc iuuu oi voice, ana auuioruauvc in ges-; - . turo, yon will not find tho waiters very at tentive to you But a prodigious j um ui iiuo lies neioro you, ana irom il you mentally select such dishes as you think will suit your palate. Then you beckon a black waiter, and in a delib erate and determined tone tell him what you want. Ho grins from ear to car, rolls his oyes, and glides away. If you havo feed him, or you look good-natured and ho thinks you will fco him, or ho has taken a fancy to you, ho speedily returns with a tray r..n ..f ...i.:t.. ,i:i ij: - - . I urn jk mmij mui uinui'M, cuiiuuimiy , tho viands you have ordered. If he dots not caro much about you, or is engrossed in attending to a regu- i,u. i,0ardor who 1ms bribed linn to bo atlentivo all through the winter months, you havo to wait many min utes perhaps half an hour before you obtain anything at all ; and then very probably tho waiter has been ob-1 livious, and brings you tho wrong I I things. This is, in all cases, ono peril j against winch tho straugor should bo warned. Order but a fow dishes and ' you aro lost. Tho negro will put you I down as a "mean cuss," a "ono horse" ' sort of n person and systematically neglect you. But order half the dishes set down in tho bill of faro, and ho will at once entertain an exaggerated notion of your importance, and almost lly to oxecuto your commands. Tho first timo I breakfasted at Willard's I said, modestly, that I should like a cup of tea, some dry toast, an egg, and a littlo toasted bacon. II stz-uck me that the waiter regarded mo with a very con temptuous look, and that he retired from my presenoo in a very slow and supercilious manner. I waited, and waited.and waitcd.but no tea.no toast, no egg, no bacon came. Thoro was sitting opposite to mo a dapper littlo man with a largo beard, and embroid ered shirt-front, with diamond studs, a cut velvet vest, and a pea jacket. "Hero, you," ho cried to tho nearest Ethiop, "bring mo somo fried oysters, somo stowed oysters, somo tondor loin steak and onions, somo scrambled eggs, pork cutlets, somo iish balls, somo dipped toast, somo graham bread, somo mashed turnips, somo cold ham, somo buckwheat cakes, somo hot cof fee, and some blanc mango. 1'vo paid my money, and by mrmi to v the ioic." Tho only way to got on in America is, having oneo paid you mo ney, to insist on seeing tho show. If you don't, peoplo will think you aro mean-spirited, and tramplo on you. Seo it. Seo tho show. Havo tho ani mals stirred up with a long polo. Punch the spotted jirl, to seo if it is real ilesh, or only tights she has on. Pick tho kangaroo's pouch.- Mako the pelican bleed again for your gratifica tion. You havo paid your nionej-. Don't bo imposed upon. Tako all. Halloa with stringent voice. Curso and swear in a land whore execrations aro rifo. Brag loudor than tho great est bragadocio in tho world. If need bo, lie lio with faco of brass and lungs of leather. "Crack up" your own country to tho detriment of all others. Vow that wo won tho battle of Fontenoy. Swear that Potor Mor rison was the greatest philanthropist of tho ago. Declare that Mr. Roebuck is ninety feet high. If a man 6pits on your boot, spit on uis waistcoat, and then, "guess that you didn't aim low enough." If you find his loltors lvinir about, read them; if ho tells you anything in confidence, publish it in the nowspa pors; kcop on moving; go-ahead; go into businoss ; smash ; recuperate; drink with everybody ; talk dollars from sunrise to midnight. Do this, uid tbfc Americans win admire vou. and you may adioirc thtm. They will say you are a Hniart iiiun, and at Itujt you will bo upoken of an a "remarka- ble" luan.

Too much is not only uso less but even pernicious to health, as tho stomach is unable to digest at one timo moro than two pounds of food, composed'in duo proportion of meat, vegetables and lluid. 1. Abstain from all intoxicating drinks. A sobor and temperate man at tho age of twenty years has a good prospect of reaching tho age of sixty-four years; but it is an ascertained fact that a con firmed drunkard at the same age can reasonably oxpect to reach only tho ago of thirty-live years. Now if the drunkard at the age of twenty sacrifi ces twonty-nino valuable years of his existenco, besides tho timo lost in in sensibility and in recovering from each debauch, what length of life can tho drunkard at the ago of fifteen look for? 5. Shun anger, for it makes a fear ful inroad on tho mind, and sometimes even proves at onco fatal. All anxie ties and porturbation of mind work mischiof, nbbrovinto lifo, and must bo, IIYUIUUU. (5. Keep tho mind always cheerful, and bo at peace with all men, lor con tentment and peace of mind arc con- r ducivo to longevity. 7. Avoid sudden transitions from heat to cold and via' vcrea, or streams of cold air from promiscuous openings, and novor allow tho body to becomo chilled, for then nature's operations aro retarded, as a steady temperature of 100 is essential to licalth. 8. Thoso whoso duties do no' oblige them to bodily labor must tako exor cise daily, nnd not, as is generally tho rulo with thoso occupied in sedentary occupations, spend tho remainder of your timo in perfect inactivity, which, with impure air, immoderato living, ivc, induce a host of fashionable complaints, terminating with fashionable.slmrt livos 9. No particular portion of tho body must bo worked at the expense of tlio rest. Tho body must not labor at the expense of the mind, neither must the mind bo overtasked and tho oxerciso of the body neglected, but both should bo exorcised equally together. 10. Eomale.paiticularly whiloyoung, must not, if health is to be maintained, coiupross tho vital organs into an un natural position by the abuso of stays, thereby rendering it impossible for those organs to perform thoir duties freely, and, moreover, causing deform ity in tho body. 11. Parents, if you lovo your chil dren, do not nllow them to indulge in tho filthy and injurious habit of smok ing. It is not necessary to dilato on its baneful influenco upon both body and mind. Suffice it to say that poison is taken into tho system; the digostivo organs, being robbed of a largo por tion of tho saliva (spittlo) an import ant fluid in digestion consequently cannot perfectly digest tho food; the development and growth of tho body aro retarded; tho mind is poisoned; and tho youthful smoker digs for him self a premature gravo. t XSUMnitlCAI.
