Valley Farmer. ! THE 3IODEL HOUSEKEEPER. In a late number of our journal we gave an outline of the model farmer. We would now do the same for the houselseopor.

Ihe : gritiiltttral. riioGREsH or iioimcrirritE IN THE tXTTKI STATUS. Romethinr on the subject of Arricul Ural Progress, and that it was great ly indebted to- mechanical invention. Vfe now propose to say a few words in regard to the progress that has been made in the science and practice of Horticulture, within the last thirty years. Unlike that of Agriculture, the progress of Horticulture in the I'nited .States, ha been independent, and thietly indebted to a few intelligent, self-educated, persevering individuals. Its progress ha leen marked and rap id. Wc well remember when there were scarcely half a dozen nurseries in the country, and thcc were of limited extent, and confined chiefly to the propagation of the commonest ports of the apple, peach, pear, and a few of the inferior, r.cid clierries. Through out the com try, generally, fruit trees were mostly propagated from the freed, by thi few farmers who planted orch ards, and these were mainlv confined to the apple for the manufacture of tidcr. Xow there arc upwards of Jour hundred nursery establishments, registered and published, ami it is probable that many more exist that arc not recorded. These are located in almost every State and Territory, in eluding California and Oregon. In these nurseries are cultivated, not only the fruits of our own country, but those from even region of the earth, that arc found adapted to our climate. Every variety of apple, peach, pear, cherry, etc., worthy of iivtiec, from every quarter of the globe, has been introduced and tried by the enterpri sing and enthusiastic nurserymen and amateurs, retaining those suited to our climate and soil, and rejecting thous ands that do not seem to flourish with us. Xot only arc we indebted to the frieiuLs of horticultural progress, for tire many varieties of delicious fruits which enrich our orchards and gardens, Tiut also for maiiv of the choicest escu lent vegetables that add to the deli cacies of the tuble. HesMes tlie hni catalogues of fruits that have lcv importtil fnm otlicr countries, to swell our list, the same intelligent enthusiasm of our horticul turists have added largely to every variety of fruits, by propagating need ling, many of which even excel in quality and richness of flavor the choicest varieties from abroad. The list of choice American apples might almost be enumerated by hun dreds. Among the noted pears we may nw-ution the rich, spicy Seckcl, the melt nig Washington, the Dix, Lawrence ar.t many others. The American peaches tliat have recently Cime into notice, canm-t be excelled for their size, beauty and delicious sweetness, in any country. Of native plums, we might add a rich catalogue, prominent in which stands the Wash ington, Jefferson, Madison, Columbia, the prolific Lombard, and a host of choice seedlings that claim the Green Gage as their parent. As an illustra tion of what may be done in this de partment of horticulture, it is only necessary to allude to the many vari eties of superior cherries that have been produced by one individual, Dr. Kilt land, of Ohio. And to Dr. lUinckle, of Philadelphia, is the country scarce ly less indebted for the new raspberries and oilier seedling fruits which his en thusiastic love for horticultural pro gress has produced. In our catalogue of American seedling Strawberries, there are varieties which for size, pro ductiveness and delicious flavor, are not surpassed anywhere. We may also allude to the Gooseberry. While all foreign sorts have failed with us on account of mildew, Houghton's Amer ican Needling, though of medium size, has superceded them all. lut recently several new and valuable varieties have Wen added to the list one bv Mr. Charles Downing, is large, pro ductive and equal in point of quality to any of the Lüglisli kinds. Of native grapes a large number of new varieties within a few years have been brought to notice, combining the finest qualities for the table and for wine, and we are led to believe will be productive of more marked importance to the country, then the introduction of almost anv other native fruit. These are a few of tin? achievements that have l-oon made by American horticulturist, within the last few years. The enthusiasm and intelli genet? that mark the deliberations of the horticulturists, who assemble in the conventions that an? now annually held in various parts of the country, prom ise still greater results. Indeed, we may consider that improvement is hardly begun. While through the ef forts of a few, so much has been eflect ed bv the introduction of now and im proved varieties, scarcely less has Wen achieved by the improved methods of cultivation by manuring, trenching, draining, etc. What has been done for Horticulture, may, bv the exercise of similar means Unsecured to its kin drei branch Agriculture. What fanner supplies the world with fool. the housekeeper with comforts and joys. The farmer feeds the world, the housekeeper takes care of it. Thcy are dejondant upon each other, and the world is dependant upon them. The housekeeper is the ordained priestess of the family. She minis ters at the alter of home. She is the Alma Mater of mankind. Kings, presidents, governors, judges, priests, we could possibly do without, but the housekeeper is an indispensable offi cial, elected for life to perform duties, by virtue of which the world moves on, and without which it could not go. All men who do not give honor to the housckecjcr are guilty of a gross im propriety. But to the model housckcejtcr is due most unceasing praise. She is the especial benefactor of her fellows. Her very first characteristic is neat ness of person. She is no slouch, no slattern, no slipshod-go-easy creature no bundle of tatters and filth, un washed and uncombed, no morning fright and afternoon belle; but a tidy, neat, orderly woman, in the care of her own person, such as everybody likes to look upon. This neatness ex tends from herself to her house and family. Filth and dirt sheer her pres ence. Dirty people wash and scrape their feet before they come into her house. Her floors and carpets rebuke them. Her windows, cupboards, cei lings and clothes read them lectures on cleanliness. Her kitchen is the coun terpart of herself, so clean, so fresh, so orderly. No greasy cooking stove, no begrimmed tables, no filled up corners, no sticky floors, no catch-all sinks, cupboards, closets, boxes, defile her kitchen. Her first care is her kitchen. And the whole house is in like man ner neat and orderly. Cooking with her is an art. It is a science too. She has a rule and a .season for everything. Simplicity is one of her fundamental principles. Her dishes arc simply prepared so as to be at once agreeable to the taste and wholesome for the stomach. They arc not hetrogeneous mixtures of all indi gestible things. They arc not greased and peppered and spiced till they are uneatable and indigestible, by their very richness. They are not raw, nor burnt, but cooked. She cooks for health. She knows that human stom achs will not bear everything, and treats them accordingly. She knows enough of the physiological laws to have a proper respect for the weakness of the human organism. She is not bound to a few dishes day in and day out, year after year, but goes the' rounds of vegetables, meats, breads, pastries, so as to give variety and solid substance to her food such as the hu man body needs. Then her meals are in time. They seldom varv many minutes from their regular hour. Her family can depend upon the order as much as they depend upon the sun. They arc not starved to-dav and over-fed to-morrow. She has an order and a way in all her ar rangements and by skill and tact she brings her household into uniformity with it. She lays by her stores not in half pound parcels, but by the quantity so far as possible. Her cellar and larder are well supplied so as to reduce ex penses both in time and price as much as possible. In like manner are her drawers and clothes-presses supplied amply and in season, kept in order and clean. And so from cellar to garret her quick eye surveys all and her orderly mind brim's about her ends. She rules her kingdom with dignity and urbanity, and strews comforts along the path way of all her household. She has her days for each weekly job, such as washing, ironing, baking, scrubbing; her hours for each daily work, such as cooking, sweeping, dusting, chamber work, etc. With her servants she is neither morose nor familiar. She expects them to do no more than she can show i hem how to ilo. fche shows more than tells; instructs chiefly by example; is patient and kind; chides little, ap proves as much as possible; looks after Ir.T own business; is at the head of everything; says "come" oftener than "go; feels that he is the motive power, the head and front of the a household; assumes no airs, but goes quietly on her way, bringing all agreeably along with her. Ibid. When sod is broken in the spring, the roots of the grass have already com menced preparation;? for a season's growth, and they wiil continue to live and struggle for the mastery until au tumn. Xow, vrhile those roots arc alive they crowd out, as it were, the tender roots of the young plants, and thus prevent them from attaining enough vigor to nourish a thrifty growth above ground. Clover roots do not possess the same tenacity; but spring broken clover sod is apt to be infested with worms, and we have kdown large fields of corn and oats, sown on such ground, to le utterly ruined by them in a few days. Au tumn plowing exposes the grass roots to the winter frosts, which both kill them and pulverize the ground. Where the soil is very rich, exceed ingly deep spring plowing may bury the live grass roots so deeply as to smother them, and afibrd the young roots of corn, oats, etc., room for nour ishment. It is a subject well worthy of attention, and wc hope between the present time and spring to furnish the farmers of the Northwest with the ex perience of a number of cur readers. Prairie Farmer. SIMtINC SOI) llUEAKINC;. In answer to numerous inquiries in regard to breaking sod in the spring, and the relative depth of plowing for ditTerent crops, we would say, that our experience is adverse to spring break ing, that we know of no exception to the rule of deep plowing in broken ground, and that very deep plowing will sometimes remedy the fault of spring breaking. Such has cen our exj-erience. Our theory is this: HOW TO SEED A SLOUGH IN TAME GRASS. Ed. Prairie Farmer: In your no tices to correspondents, in the Frairic Farmer of January 7th, I saw the fol lowing inquiries: "The best manner, the best variety of seed, the quantity per acre, and the best time to seed down to tame grass a slough, etc., without breaking up?" I will give the inquirer alluded to, my experience for the past fifteen years, in grass raising in Illinois. And as to the first, I would say, that under all circumstances I have found that timothy and redtop, half-and-half, is the best for low lands and sloughs. Some fifteen years since I sowed a slough, running through one of my fields, with timothy and redtop, in the spring, say, about the first of April without breaking up. After sowing I harrowed the ground over several times, and kept olT all stock; and the first two or three years I let the seed get tolerably ripe before cutting, so as to shell out some of it while haying, and in that time it got nicely seeded to tame grass; and I have mowed from one to two tons of the best of hay per aerc from it every year since; and from present appcarences, I can do so for all time to come. I sowed at the rate of one bushel to five acres, and find that quantity, all things consider ed, the best. J. P. Wycoff. Pleasant drove, Jan. THE PHILOSOPHY OF I1ATIIIX. Once a week is often enough for a decent white man to wash himself all over; and whether in summer or winter, that ought to be done with soap, warm water, and a hog's hair brush, in a room showing at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Baths should be taken early in the morning, for it is then that the sys tem poscsses the power of reaction in the highest degree. Any kind of bath is dangerous soon after a meal, or soon after fatiguing exercise. No man or woman should take a bath at the close of the day, unless by the advice of the family physician. Many a man, in attempting to cheat his doctor out of a fee, has cheated himself out of his life; aye, it is heedlessly and care lessly done every day. The best, safest, cheapest, and most universally accessible mode of keeping ihe surface of the body clean, besides the once a week washing with soap and warm water, is as follows: As soon as you get out of bed in the morning, wash your face, hands, neck and breast; then, in the same basin of water, put your feet at once for about a minute, rubbing them briskly all the time; then with the towel which has been dampened by wiping the face, etc., wipe the entire body well, fast and hard the mouth shut, lungs inflated breast projecting. Let the whole thing be done quick say within five minutes. At night, when you go to bed, and if you get out of bed during the night, or when you find yourself wakeful or restless, spend from two to five min utes in rubbing your whole body with your hands, as far as you can reach in every direction. This has a tendency to preserve that softness and mobility of skin which is essential to health, and which too frequent washings will i'vstroy. That precautions arc necessary in connexion with the bath-room, is im pressively signified in the death of an American lady of refinement and po sition, lately, after taking a bath soon after dinner; of Surgeon Hume, while alone, in warm bath, and of an emi nent New Yorker, under similar cir cumstances, all within a year. Hall's Journal of Health. m m Prentice on Pcuii. The Louisville Journal savs: "We believe that the Compromise Dill introduced by Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, into the United States Senate is uni versally considered as senseless a bill as ever was introduced by a wood- pecker into a hollow tree." m A little boy, at his father's fu naral, observed a child of one of the neighbors crying bitterly, doubtless in sympathy with his little friend. Hits roused the orphan boy, who exclaimed, "You needn't cry; this ain't none of ; votxr funeral!" THE SUN. The editor of the Favctteville North Carolinian tells the following amusing incident in his experience: Wc were teaching an "academary" down in the wire grass country of South Georgia soon after we left col lege, and among the "higher branches" taught in that "institution" were the rudiments of Astronomy, to which ad vanced text book wc had introduced a class of sand-hill boys and gopher trapping girls, ranging in age from fourteen to twenty years. A few reci tations, confined principally for correc tions of mutilated pronunciations, "stairs," "heavingli buddies," "the zcath," "comics," "planics," etc., and we made to the "advanced class" the startling and incredible announcement that the sun did not rise and set daily, that the revolution of the earth on its axis made night and day, etc. There were a few open countenances in that gaping, wonder-stricken class about then. Next morning wc were waited on by a grave sage looking patron of ours, who, with soma asperity of counte nance, and, as wc imagined, contemp tuous severity of expression, thus de livered himself: "We've omploy'd ye here to lam our young uns, haint we?" We as sented to the proposition. "Well," continued he, "what's all this riggymarolc and astronamy and atuiT about the sun not Rettin and risin', and the yeath turnin upside down of a night, and sich like infbrV talk ye've been foolin' the skollards with?" Now, thought we, for a tri umph of science, a lighting up of his benighted understanding. Inviting him into the academy, we proceeded to draw a diagram on the blackboard, for the purpose of illustration. "Now," said wc, "the sun is ninctv-fivc-mil-lions of miles from the earth, and" "Stop!" cried he, "how do you know that? Who's been thar to measure it? What surveyor's ever drug his chain over that route? 'Taint so." In vain we assured him that scientific men had demonstrated it, and philosophers proved it beyond a doubt, and that all the learned and eminent men in the world admitted and believed it. "They don't know nothin' about it," was his dogmatic response; "not a bit morc'n I do, and they've never ben any closter to the sun than I hcv. It's agin reason, sense, and scriptcr to say that the sun don't rise and set for thar's a text, which mabby you've, seed; if you ever red the bible, which I kaint scarcely believe you ever did read it, saving from the risin of the sun to the going down thereof and see here, young man, if you kaint teach the children bctter'n such fool talk and inficf argymcnt, you mout as well look out fer a Dooly settlement, whar ther aint no chrrches, and the folks never heerd of the bible." Wc caved, wiped out the diagram with our left coat-tail, bowed out our indignant patron, and the next morn ing the "stronomy" class was advan ced to Peter Parley's Geography, and the sun permitted to rise and set as usual. There's every thing in admit ting and denying the premises. m m KIND WO It US WHY USE THEM! 1. Because they always cheer him to whom they are addressed. They soothe him if he is wretched. They comfort him if he is sad. They keep him out of the slough of despond, or help him out if he happens to be in. 2. There arc words enough of the opposite kind flying in all directions sour words cross words fretful words insulting words overbearing words irritating words. Now let kind words have a chance to get abroad, since so many, so different, are on the wing. 3. Kind words bless him that uses them. A sweet sound on the tongue tends to make the heart mellow. Kind words re-act upon the kind feelings which prompted them, and make them more kind. They add fresh fuel to the fire of benevolent emotion in the soul. I. Kind words beget kind feelings toward him that loves to use them. People love to see the face and hear the voice of such a man. Kind words are therefore of great value in these hard times, Cin. Gaz.

Agriculture, the great interest of our country, will receive our special attention. We are getting the materials and securing the assistance necessary to enable us to do justice to this important department. The claims of a Pure Literature will not be disregarded, but we shall devote a large portion of our time and space to its culti vation. Andwe expect to be found at all times laboring to promote the improvement of our Common and High Schools, and all other means by which the masses are to gain improved facilities for Education and Intelligence. The Mechanic Arts, so essential to the welfare and happiness of any commuuity, will receive a proper share of our regard. On the Temperance Question we will be found where we have always stood in favor of Prohibition; but always recognizing the education and sound indoctrination of the masses as affording the only sure guar antee of the stability of any legal enactment in the direction of Reform. For this object we shall always be found laboring. Finally, in Politics, we fcball maintain the stand the JOURNAL has always taken. Wc ßhall support the Republican movement so long as it moves in the right direction. In these unsettled times no man knows with whom he will be acting in another year. But let parties move as they may, the JOUR NAL will continue so long as it remains under our conirol to be found arrayed on the side of the People as opposed to the interests or designs of any Oligarchy North or South. It will continue the unflinching advocate of Free Soil, Free Speech, Free Labor, and Free Men utterly repudiating the odious and ntfirious doctrine lately pro mulgated by the leaders of a great but doomed party, that our Constitution makes Slaverv the normal State or condition of a class of our own people if unprohibited by special State enactments thus establishing Slavery as the rule and making Freedom the exception. To give our paper still greater circulation we conclude still further to reduce our terms and offer our friends the following induce ments to get up clubs: We will send out 10 copies of the Journal for 13 Dollars and a copy to getter up of Club for one year.
