I.’nrmcrs of Edgefield, tukoSfood 1 ter, and covered with the plough, came up very ir regular, which enabled the birds to take it nearly as fast as it came up, that is, on two sides of the field, which were bordered by old field pines.

A.', the season was growing late, and the Corn now left was too o o * far advanced for the ‘‘varmints” to pull up, and thinking of the proverb, “ a bird in the hand is worth two in a bush,” I finally concluded'to go ov er it with hoes, and have clean earth put on ihe Corn, wilh the view of having it to come up as much alike as possible. The replant soon began to come up, and I again commenced iny rounds; but | all to very little purpose, for the field being large, while I would be in one place, the birds—red birds, doves, crows, &c., would pounce down somewhere else and go to work.

There are few things in the habits of Americans, which strike the foreign observ^er with more forcf', than the extravagant consumption of food—and more especially of meat. Truly we are a carniv- erou3 people. With all our ouctry about Jiard times, the provisions consumed in America would support, in health, treble our population in Europe. The vast consumption of meat is not only waste ful, but injurious to health and activity, of body and mind. The body if made of iron, would be unable to perform all the functions imposed upon it at one time—csprclall}*. is it, *w'e should suppose, without pretending to any science on the subject, deleterious to cat meat suppers—or to eat a heavy meal immediatel}’ preceding any action ot body and minJ. May it not be averred that one half of the provisions consumed in this country might be saved with certain'y of avoiding the nu merous diseases that arise from plethora, impaired digestion, disordered blood ? Let the heads of any family examine, and they will find that a substitute i of bread and vegetables and milk for three fourths of the meat consumed, would be attended with eco nomy and better health.—Ame.rica7L Farmsr.
