But after consultation the boy was sell to work. A few days later a call W4S tuade on Ijhe boys in the store for some one to stay all night. . The prompt re sponse of the little fellow contrasted with' the rei luctance of others.

From the Carolina Faratr.' Messrs. Editors I take it to be a factthat trees and vegetables receive most of their nutri ment by, the extreme parts of their branches; ; and, hence we learn the reason why land be comes rich much sooner when certain tegetablci grow ' upon it, than when it ia suffered to He , barren. '. , . ; ' The common practice among our farmers ii to wear out a piece ef land, and if they cannot, manure it, let it lie vacant, -until it acquires tome " fertality, merely by the spontaneous growth of weeds, or by other means, as rain or frost. ThU is a great, waste aod loss to the farcer, w!9 wants t to improve all his land, The practice 7 must proceed from great ignorance of the laws of vegetation, aod makes the low state of agri culture in this country. . Land should always be covered with vegeta bles of some kind; but the crops should be fre quently changed, some kinds of grain impover ish ! land much sooner than others. Corn re- Suires rich land, and always impairs' its fertility. . ye will grow on poor land many years, and without a great diminution of the crop- . : This and other circumstances render it qnes tionable whether the manure or saline particles of land ever enter and compose a part of the vegetables ; and whether the only purpose of manure is not to give a certain ceuieut or con sistency to the earth necessary to retain and support the roots. Thus sand, which is too loose itself to support any plants, may, by being mixed with clay, become a good soil ; and a pure clay is generally too hard and firm to admit the ' growth of plants; it should therefore be mixed with, sand or light earth. Marine salt is the best manure; hence the fertility of our sounds can! . be preserved by spreading the land with . sea weed. - i,. - ' - j I believe that by a proper rotation ef crope, any soil tolerably firm, may be kept in what the farmers call good heart, without the application of manure. When the strength of land is, in some me isure, exhausted by crops of corn, &o , which should succeed each other in the order' which experiment proves to be the best, let it " be laid down with clorer, which will produce a' crop for hay, or good feed, and at the same time, . enrich! the land. Whether the grass! collects nitrous particles from tho air, which are com municated through the stalks and roots to the earjjh, I pretend not to determine. 'Certain it is, that if plants grow by an accretion of particles of water to the leaves and buds which is the present hypothesis, then vegetation collects some property from the atmosphere, which descending to the earth in the livitrg blades, or by putrefac tion, fertilizes the land. Leave the barren , earth to itself, ancTbut few weeds will spring up the hrst year to make this collection. A crop of clover will immediately answer rtbe purpose, it will last but two or three years; bat afiords goous tuo w lug ana pasture, ana Jeavei the land eurtched.

An acre of ground retained expressly for hay . yields on an a vara ge' not more than one and pne- half tons of vegetable food; an equal space planted with carrots or ruta bagas, will yield from ten to tweuty tons, say fifteen tons, which is by no means a high average, snd has often been re tained without any extraordinary cultivation. It has been ascertained by careful experiment. that three working hones, fifteen and one half haods'high, consume hoy at the rate oft wo hun dred pounds per week, or five tons snd one thou sand and forty-eight pounds per annum, besides one and one-half bushels of oats per week, or seventy-eight per annua.- By a repetition of the same experiment it was found that u a worked horses consume at the rate of four aud one-quarter tons per annum.' .;'. 1 he produce, therefore, of nearly six acres of 'and is necessary to support a working borse for one year ; but hall au acre or carrot at six hun dred bushels7 per acre, with the addition of chopped ! straw, while the season fori feeding them lasts, will do as well, if not betterj These things do not admit uf doubt, for they have been the! subject of exact trials, as some of your agri cultural friends can testify. 1 It has also been proved that the vslne of one bushel of corn, together with the fodder upon which it grew, will keep a horse in good work in ir order for a week. An acre planted with com, and yielding sixty bushels, will be ample to keep ' a gooa sizea noise in wonting qraer tor one year. .Let the farmer then consider whether it is bet ter to; maintain a horse on the produce of half an acre of ruta. bagas Or carrots, or upon the pro duce ot an acre 01 corn ; or, 011 the other band. upon the hay or small gram from six! acres of and for it will require six acres of good land to produce the beceKary hay and grain as above. The same reasoning might be made use of in the eeuiniK of cattle and sheep. Stork Jomrnal. Effects of Pumpkin Seeds on Milch Cows, A correspondent writes to the Xew England airmer ! in regard to the subject as follows ? "First, I fed my cows one week with one large or two small pumpkins to each cow twice a day. their milk decreased two or three quarts to each coW a day from what they gave the first week previous. I then fed them one week j with the same quantity of pumpkins as before, snd took out the seeds. They increased in a greater pro portion of milk than they decreased the week previous. I then fed4hem alternately1 three or four weeks, and they varied in their milk very.- miDcn as tnenrst wee it s jne aiureiicquaiiry of pumpkin seeds is well known, and they will alwjays prove injurious to animals if fed in a large -qtintity.
