A Good Jokic.?Considerable amuse
ment was erea teil in tin; Sonnte at Wash
ington, {.?ometiu^ngo, by tho presentation
of a petition by Senator Scott, of Pcnn
sylvania, pruyinj?'for the passage oI'jhi
amendment '.'> the Constitution provid
ing that no person shall bo eligible to
. fUCo who indulges in intoxicating drinks.
The Sotuitpr? scu'nicd to take the petition
as a good :<?!.;.?. Somebody intimated
that it was intended to meet, the case of
President Grunt and make him ineligible
ibv re-election. The Senate was u good
deal puzzled ?.< to the reference of the.
petition. Altera good deal of merriment
it was sent to the Committee on Privileges
and Elections.
Faumkk'h Accounts.?One of our
eon tempo varies truly remarked that ii a
farmer kept us nice and exact accounts
with the cattle, the fields, the orchards,
and the crops with which he has annual
dealings, just us his more careful brother
mi l chant dors, he would find a spirit of
ht slness working into all his habits, and
progress und push would inevitably fol
low. Tin: loose notion seems to be that
here are the fields, und these the buil
dings und a living must somehow be gut
out of them. But that will not do in
these days. Every agriculturist is hound
to know what his farm yields him for his
own consumption, and how much for
sale; and then he will he able to get at
any pront* by cyphering tho difference
less the cost of cultivation.
Tin: ( iiKAi'icsT GitAiN i-'ot: Chickkns.
Now that chit'kens raised the past season
have attained the "hungry age," and the
frost somewhat diminished insect forage,
the quantity of grain that will bo dispos
ed of by a large (lock of young fowls is
astonishing. The question arises, what
is the cheapest food (and the best, all
things considered,) that can lie bought?
The reply is, Indian corn. Give cooked
and raw, whole, ground.fine,-and ground
coarse.ibr the sake of change. It is the
( heapest thing that can be bought, gener
ally speaking, the amount of nutriment
obtained in if considered. Bui to give
nothing but corn would be a mistake. It
should predominate for economy's sake,
hut out?, buckwheat, wheat screenings',
boiled potatoes, scraps from tjie table,
and us ntanv other thine- as possible,
should be added to the bill of faro.
SiiKi.TKKtNo Stock.?An experiment
made in England diowstha! one hundred
sheep fed under shelter on twenty pounds
of Swedish turnips each per dav, at the
end <o a lew weeks had gained three
pounds each more than another hundred
which were fed twenty pounds of the same
kind of turnips each, but in the open air
id'field, h ive sheep witj led in the open
air in November, the temperature being
at forty-four degrees. They consumed
ninety pounds of food per day. At the
en 1 often ?lays they weighed two pounds
less than witch at first exposed. Five
other .sheep were then placed in a shed,
the temperature being forty-nine degrees;
at first they cum toned eightv-two pounds
per <!ay. then seventy pounds, ami at the
cud of th time they had gained twenty
three pounds. This is proof sufficient of
the advantage of sheltering of stock in
v.inLv.
We recommend to our agricultural
friends the following advice, which we
condense from that valuable monthly, the
Southern ' .'iiltu ator :
Tin: area of land should be divided
into foil r liclds, three of which only should
be planted the same year ami in rotation
n('crop, while the fourth field should he
allowed, meantime, to rest.
The best, kind of horse power for small
farmers is gord brood marcs. Their
time oi foaling being regulateil so as uot
to interfere w ith the plowing season.
'I he poorest fyslc.ni of labor is the share
syst in. The farmer loses by it pecuni
arily,and is : i bjeef lotiicj hihbrer?right
of din i ting the mniiugenicni of the crop.
Let your aim ho not <:xten1 of-1110:1,
but abundance of yield. V>::r in mind
that it takes twice as much sect!, and
Jinir.tiinc! the labor on badly prepared
land that is required on thoroughly pre
pujvd soil.
'I li ? ! .- place to : eh <! r et d corn is ill

lind most pcribctycttra'/nB they are hauled
in.
Knowledge and experience u- as neces
sary 16 succCsa in farming, us in any
other profession, and what we luck in
these wo must striv? to get by study and
experiment.
In ntteing turkeys, l"t (In- old ben
sctcet her own time (or leaving th? liest,
and immediately rid her und the Chicks
of lice by applying tobacco lea where lite
feathers are hot, and sprinkling vermin
powder on the leathers. For at least six
days, keep them within a pen of a yard
square. Feed on grist, sour-milk, curd
and hard boiled eggs, until they can
swallow whole corn. Keep them in the
yard until pretty well grown, as there is
danger of the old bird running her chicks
to death, even when one-fourth grown.
In the meantime keep them from dev.
and wet weather.
The best \va.V,of applying brick dust :::
cleaning knives is on the end Uf a potato,
cat square oil". The juice of the potato
imparts the desired moisture to the dust
and assists in removing stains.
Japan is said to surpass u< in the aft
of agriculture, and Chinese labor is high
ly spoken of in Louisiana as a means of
making sugar.
Female Taste.
The cultivated laste marks a woman of
elegance and refinement us decidedly a*
a knowledge.of classical literature iloes a
gentleman; and there is nothing in which
female vulgarity is more clearly shown
than in wain of taste. This is an axiom
thai we think will not admit of dispute;
but it. i.; n qiiisti-in how ihr taste 'is
natura!, and how far it may be acquired.
A del ich to taste must, to a certain extent,
depend upon the organization of tho in
dividual; and it is impossible for any
rules to be laid down which will impart
taste lo persons entirely devoid of i-..
But this is very seldom the ease with
women; a.s it is one of the few point.- in
which woman natural!y exec! men. Men
may he, and prohahly arc, superior to ;
women in ail that requires profound
thought and general knowledge, but in !
the arrangement of a; house, and the in-j
troduction of ornamental furniture and
articles of bijouterie, there can ho no
doubt of the innate superiority of women:.
Kvcry one must have remarked Ihodir)
lerence in the furnishing 'of a helor'ii
house, and one when; a lady preside.*; the
thousand little elegances o{ (lie latter,
though nothing in themselves, adding,
like cypher.-, prodigiously to the vstl.
the-olid articles they are appended to.
Character is not shaped by tri.Ies, any
I more than itmrbiu is sculptured hy ; !l
of air. Only by hard struggles, and
sIcvh conHicLs with temptation, ami roso
Iuto self-mustory, does tliu divine \ rinci
ple assert it.s supremacy and carve it
immortal loveliness into every faculty
and mood of mind. The sharpness Of

and how long we are lo last.
Ti'iu Political Sirtliv! rox.?Senator
Uoolittlc of Wisconsin, in a recent letter
says: "In my opinion the presold pa;*h
holds power simply hectttt.se those who
are opposed to it do not act together.
Three million Democratic voters arc op
posed to it, and, as 1 hclieve, nearly one
million Republicans are opposed to it.
Gail Iho four mil!.on unite and vote to

majority of five hundred thousand. If
they cannot, they must fail.
'?How enn this union in political ac

effect a common an I great patriotic pur
