The proper time to cut drilled ladder, M when all the stalks fairly tasseled out. or in full bloom. It j may be cut eloaa to the ground, with a long, I sharp knife, or a sickle. Select n dry day. j commencing early in the morning, and cut- j ting BtatlJ dinner time. As fnt as it is cut, Spread it thin along the row, and let it lie j nnd take the sun nfter dinner, when the up per side will be pretty well wilted. Then ! turn it orer carefullv. and leave it OB tin ! ground until 5 o'c lock in the evening, when I it mu.t tc gath-rd up, tit in bundles of. moderate size (say a f..f throii'di at the ! l and) and set up on the butt end, in shocks of 4 r bundles each turning one bundle ..j'.-iuu w. m, fn m otners, as a 'cap hhenf." The next day, after sunrise, these bundles must bo mc and the fodder spread out ngain until no, and then turn ed and sunned till evening, as before. This may be repeated the third day, which will generally be ufiicient, if the weather is fa vorable. It may then be permanently stacked or packed awny undercover: nnd ..:.i- -i .i. if. while packing, the different layers are sprinkled with salt, at the rate of S quarts to an ordinary two-horse wagon load, it will be more highly relished by stock, and all danger of heating obviated. Many per sons make a great mystery of curing drill or broadcast corn-fodder; but we have al ways found this simple method sure and effect ual. Cutting up earn in the field, nnd using the stalk and leaf for the winter feeding of stock, has also many ndvantnges. which we will speak of more in detail hereafter. How to Plow uxdeb Wrrros Where weeds have not been kept dowa by other crops, or by close pasturing, they have, as might be expected, made luxuriant growth; and as many s,,c!i fields will have to be plowed for wheat, and other fall crops, it becomes a matter of much importance to know how wo can best turn them under with the plow, so as to be completely out of the way of the harrow and drill. Au excel lent way to do this, is to fasten one end of a heavy log chain to the end of a double tree to which the furrow or off horse is attached, bringing the other under tho beam of the plow, jst before the bare. and confining it there. The chain should big enough to touch the ground, or nearly so. A little practice will teach how tight it should be. By this plan the weeds are drawn into the furrow-slice, it falling on. them while there. Will somebody tell us of a better way.' ScYTHrs. A complaint hi often made by workmen of their scythes not acting well, of the edge not cutting uniformly and j the form being wrong, -c.; now theVorm best suited to each mower may be stcd I by a very simple experiment. Let a man j -wun a piece of chalk in bis hand, walk up to n 1. it'll n-oll I , , ", wi oani-uiior, amt rai ng it as high as be can, strike a curve fi to left; the line so traced is the exact form that his scythe should be; and if be applied the edge of it, and find it correspond, it will cut uniformly from point to heel, and save himself much trouble and luhor. PlCKLKS. An excellent way to make pickles that will keep a year or more, is to lrop them iuto boiling wuter, but not boil them ; let them stuy in ten minutes, wipe them dry. and drop them iuto cold spiced vinegar, and they will not need to be put into salt and nater, and are always rcadv for use.

While accumulating this property, his par ner, Mr. R., contracted about 7,000 worth of debts. ft2.o00 of which belonged to Mr. C. Mr. C. is not any more honest than the j law allows. So he thought he would get rid ! of 'thoe cussed Lore.-.' his cr ditors, bv making over his property to his aieee, a fine looking young lady, a o-ed about eighteen. j He accordingly went to a lawyer, made out the papers, and assigned ' the whole of his real estate to his niece, the interesting young lady already spoken of. Having I concluded his arrangements, he thought j he would co .jout'.i and look nt ti' country. This took place hist summer During his absence in pursuit of qaietneas i I and cotton fields, Mr. It. ascertains ell about j the assignment, and goes in for making all j ' things square. He commenced operations : I by courting the niece .'.foresaid, and finish- ; j cd up by marrying her. When Mr. C. rc- turned from Ocorgie, he finds he has been 'done for' that Mr. II. has not only got the 1 value of his debt- bat CoOO worth of real estate in addition, to say nothm? ot a most desirable wife. Mr. is now swearing in eight svllables, and insists that it is a con- piracy. n i i .i- in i i mm STRAYED OH STOLEN from rom a the subscriber, in Union conn ty, ire miles west ol Lanestorou Aston county, oa the night o. ihe 1 itii of April last, BAV 91 h It K, ot medium siz. 1(1 or II years o d. 1 will pay a reward if TEN DOLL A RS for the ilelivry of said marc to me, o, for information so that I get her or TWENTY DOLLAliS lor informa : lion htiffieieiil to convict the thief.
