hle a m.t r of chance. OtIrs, agaiu,
Ldopt a dilferent view of the matter, and
nake moihey, too, bv their views.
It is generally adimitted that some breeds
f n-:a cattle are preterable for form,
. zi. or iilk. Stone fo r facility ofttte
2. i.'umIe hr docility, allIl some for the
ri'-atest combination of all these good
>oinits.
Let us suppose a farmer has a cow,
Iaccidentalyv obtained,) extraordinary for
antity ai quality of 1milk, beautiful in
irm and color, easily mnaged and milk
d. and readily fattened when no longer
it for the dairy, he would like another of
qual properties. Now, were this a race
riisi, or eveni a good COmLiOn stallion, he
ould lind out all about the pedigree of
he animal without difficulty, but as it is
lothing lbut a cow, aithough really ten
imes wiord important to the farmer thai
my race-horse thiat ever existed, he can
liscover no records on the suhject, simply
3cause farmers fail to note down every
:aif. bull, and cow, and the crossing (if
>reeds, &c. Therefore, he must look to
,hance f,1ir tie next cow to supply her
Aace. Wt it be true that it costs nio inore
o rear a good aniimal than ;a bad mie (and
ome .SaV it costs less,) theni should fhrm
rs kvow all about their stock, and keep a
-eord of* the kinds and crossings. These
re but examples of many things equally
mportant.
Still it. may be said by some that these
Lre sinall matters, too iinute to deserve
he attention required. True, they are
udividually so, but our whole litf is given
n1 minutes, and the success of our lives
nd business is, in the main, dependent
Ipon what appear, seIarately considered,
o he trifles.
Againi, we may be told, to journalize all
he circumstaices of a ftrim would be
roublesome, the work of a littiamie. True,
LIso ; but remember you have :L lifetiIe!
o do it in ; and as to the trouble, it will
uily be one un itil habit makes it, a
ure- and its utilit-y shall beconme so obvi
mis as to prove a tei-fold recommpense
rere it a continuous troubie.
Were our youing fairmuers induced to
ibserve, record, and tudy the alEirs of
lie farm-were they to learn the true
ature of the profession-how elevating,
!m a imioral point ot view, as a1 Ililosi)hi
al as well as a miechmical pursuit, and
bus how dignitied, how intd'ependent is
1rmnal labor, we should have fewer young
oenl forsaking what they call "its drudg
ry" and " degradation " for the learned
r(fessions, thus throwing away the pearl
findepenidence for the apparently easy
ite of those who will tell von that success
eitlh themt is toil unremitting, harrassing
ud oppressive, to which, in comparison,
holding the plow " is a holiday.
A Word to Planters.
Before another issue of our weekly pa.
>er can reach our readers, it is probable
hat a !arge proportion of the corn plant
Ig in the " cotton belt," will have been
oinmieced. At no period of c ur history
aS the jitching of the crop acquired such
olitieal importance as now. The produc.
ion of cotton fr the last half dozen years
as1 bee~n so uniformly remunerative, thait
outhern planters have paid but comopar
tively little attenmtion to raising the tne
essaries of life. Even upon the supposi
ion of a conitinuance of peace, it is easily
.eamnstratble that, upon a purely econom.
::al view, the policy is a bad one. To go
.o further than the argument of fact, the
ibservation of every one will teach him
hat planters who make it a point to raise
:ho have grown rich the fastest. Blut the
igns jf the times leave no founidation for
Lie peace hypothesis. We are to have
ear, whether for a short or a protracted
'eriod cannot be known, but we can see
~o prospect of peace except at the end of
ostilities. If war comes we should be
repared to prosecute it with energy and
igo~r. Such preparations will constitute
hie only rational hope for- speedy termi
ation. A large army must be raised for
amr detence, anid this ariny mutst, ofCourse
ucsupported. Ilowever much we may
oast of southern valor and patriotisni,
he infallible deduction both of reason
mid instinct, declare that men cannot fight
ong without meat and bread. The cour
ge of the heart is of little avail unless
ustained by the constantly renewed bone
nd muscle of the body. In the contingen
y supposed, the granaries anid meat hion
es of the North-west will be closed to the
ouith. Tlhene for mnany years pas1t, we
are drawn a large portioni of our- sup-i
'lies. Our drafts will be honored in that
uarter no longer. The necessity is foirced
pon1 us to raise our own prvsos The
ie~n who till the earth in the Southern
state~s must meet the demiand, if it be met
t all. In this view of the case, the plan
ing ot the presenat corn crop acquires anl
inense imuportan ce. The d isaster-s and
hort supply of last year cannot now lie
emiedied, but the southern planter can, if
e will, provide against their recurrence.
'le counitry is poiorly supplied with pro
isions to last till the next harvest. If a
hort, or only moderate, supply for ordina
y times be raised thme prcsent year, a de
roe ofdistress and disaster will befdl
ie South such as she ha~s never known,
nd from which she may never recover.
.et every planter, in oitching his crop, re
1emiber that upon hhi.. devolves tihe duty
f producing enough grain anid meat, not
nyfor his ow~n consumnptionl, but also ihr
tsupport, in part, of tihe men who wIll
ght our batt les. If his patriotism camnne t
ndure this exaction, he hlad better give
p the work of independeuce as a bad

Old Wagons and Carriages.
A imost eveiry farimer in thme early part
1 his practice, is tempijted to buy second
and wagons, old carriages, etc., from
icir cheapniess ; lbut if hie keeps a correct
Lcounit of thme hills for repairs by the
lacksmi th, wheelright, painter and oth.
rs, he will son discover that the first
-car of the c-arriage is the cheapest. Thus
new Rlockaway will frequently run two,
iree, or iur years, with searcely a relpair,
nil if well eared for, will seem to be al
mist ats goodi as nlew ; the next three years
ill develop rathier a difll'ereit state of
iigs. TJihose who hatve most experience,
nld it to their advantage to sell their old
irriages before they begin to need fr
uient repair.
A carriage, like a carpet, may be worn
Iioing time in good order, but as soon1 as
ther show wear, they anre well sold at
ilt their cost.-Wo(rkiing Fairnmer.

maintain their supremacy in the market, having
been iwarded THIIRTY-EIGIT PRIZE MED

their instruments exhibited at various Fairs in
this country and Europe.
They have had an Agency in this City for about
thirty years, where thousands of their PIANOS
have been sold to the ENTIRE SATISFACTION
OF EVERY PURCIASER. And to prutect their
well-merited reputation as uianufacturers, and the
public from being imposed upon, it has become
necessary to publish that every Piano male by
them bears upon the "name board" "CHIICRERl
ING, BOSTON," in the old English and Rowan
letters, and upon the "soundling board" "CllICK
ERING & SONS, BOSTON," with the number
of the Piano.
JACOB CHICKERING is not a relaition of
theirs, and has nao business interest with them.
I have the solo A gency for Auagusta of Chick
