1 mt‘"" In many P**« of oar country, the pas ture grounds are Infested, and ortaa over run with noxious *hrubs ; this is the most slovenly part of our husbandry, ana oagnt to becurM. _ . __ Eradicating them, says Deans, requires so much labor, that farmers are most com monly content with cutting them once In a few years; But the more cutting they sur vive, the longer lived they are apt to be; and harder to kill, as their roots continual ly -gain strength. It is undoubtedly true, that outting bash es in the summer will do more towards de * straying them, than doing it at anv other season, particularly in August. Other cir cumstances being equal, the wettest weath er is best for destroying shrubs by cutting. # Spreading plaster on ground where bushes "* have been cutf may teed to check their re ' sprouting, by encouraging the growth of grass. It is said to be a good method of de stroying bushes, to cut them with hoes close to the surface, when the ground is frozen hard; and that more may be de stroyed in a day, in this way, than in the usual method of cutting with a bush scythe. Bushes which grow mclusters, as alders, Sect may boexpeditiously polled up by ox en ; and this is an effectual way to subdue them. Elder is considered harder to subdue than almost any other kind of bush; mow ing them five times in a jseason, it is said, will not kill them. The roots of the shrub oak will not be killed but by digging out. To destroy bushes in swamps; flooding two or three summers is the most approv ed method. Bui if this is not convenient, draining will so alter the nature of the soil, * that the shiubs, which it naturally produc ed befort, Will hot be any longer nourished by it; and one cutting may be sufficient. After all, ’extirpation, by diggiug them out and by fire, is cheapest and most factual.—Parmer’s Guide. Woman.—Female loveliness cannot be clothed in a more pleasing garb than that of knowledge. A female thus arrayed is one of the most interesting objects of cre ation. Every eye rests upon her with pleasure—the learned and wise of the op posite sex delight in her society, and affix to her fharacter respect and veneration.— Ignorance and folly stand reproved in her presence, and vice, in his bold career, shrinks abashed at her gotse. She moves the joy, thb delight, the pride of the do mestic circle—she excites the praise—the admiration of the world. A female, thus armed, thus equipped, is prepared to en counter every trial which this uncertain state may bring—to rise with the proper elation to the pinnacle of fortune, or sink with becoming fortitude into the abyss of poverty, to attain with a cheerful aorenity tho heights of bliss, or endure with patient , firmness the depths of woe.
