tn Editor of tht Uo'tivater, ia eomiueiad
with fBAft co:umndbI skill, whether
regard be haJ to the fatherly ear which
Cap. C exert over iu unfortuaate in
mates, Ii the discipline and economy of
the establishment, or to the skill with
which ha cultivate tht farm. Though
we could dwell with pWaaure epon the
oSjc m and rod, in a m.sral point .of
view, of snch an establishment, wa ah -11
defer d ing to n-w, a our irtteution in
taking pen in hand ia simply to introduce
t-i our reader two implements which are
there aied wiih the most beneficial ef
feet. ,- ,
The firtt is the SttWil Plough, an im
plement which we eonfes we era aohei
to tn see introduced in general ase in
a'l etiffeniU, fraia the slight opportu
nities we have bad of obaernnf iie ope
ration we think most favorably of it.
The teconJ i a new implement, in rent
ed br the auperiatendent of the liostoa
IIHie of iirfus. and, from the auhjoitf
ed description of it, we presume it te a
most adinirsMn contrivance to reduce
roufh tenacious lands to a (tate of pulve
risation: "-' '- '1 : ' i
A new SubtoU Flovgh.Xtt saw at
this establishment ubtntl plough of no
vel construction, designed and wade by
Capt. Chandler. It ia well constructed for
etrength, for running ateady and keeping
ha trne position with very little Ubtir of
the ploughman, and for thorough and
deep pulverization of die soil, with a mo
derate dra iihl. It will run fifteen inches
dtp below the wke of another plough.
lie naa euDsoiiea setcrai acres wnn una
plough, running from twelve to fifteen
inches deep after a common plough that
went sis incliea deep. I he soil was clay
ey, full of 1 nail stones, and now and '
then one nf a good size. A team f thtee
horsee waa amply nuitcieni, anu some
over an acre ploughed in a day, lea v.
ing the soil so light that it was dilBcult to
walk on r. j
,1 itcw Imptemtnf. Capt. Chandler
his made a new implement, without a'
nmr. It ii constructed as follow: A brain !
of strong hard wood U mde.aUuulO feet'
long, and about 6 inches square; into this ,
are put 12 teeth, about 5 J inches apart,
below the hca.n, hboiil the coui.nn leng;la
of lun harrow teeth; l'iee teeth are flat,
w hh a shi-p nle frwa-l, and they are
n.. at t .e lower part or pt it, wili a'
moilfMie curve forward, th.it I'tey may in-:
cliue downward into the soil. Handles !
are fiMtened to die bean, and wilti bars!
of iron it is fatnej to the axel nf a pair
of wheels! the forward heels of a wagon ;
will answer for this purpose. j
Thus constructed ami hung to the .
wheels, it ii drawn by a horse, or oxen ;
will do, and the person boiling cin bear
oir thn handles, or step on the beam and ,
Tide there, or to relieve it when coming in :
mutual with a fjt suhsianco, he can rea-J
atilw raise it over the impediment. When ;
going from place to place it may be turn-!
d upon the axel and safely ride there.;
The object of this implement is to cut;
to pieces sods and turf, and finely puUi
tteriic them, which it will do inoreeflet-
tually than a harrow, as the teeth are
sharper; besides a it cover a small space
of ground, the teeth being all in one line,
the holder had com pie e command of it;
and as the teeth bent forward and tun un
der the soil, they raise it and leave it light-!
er.diiw n some depth than a harrow, which
i often dragged over the soil! and makes
it mure heavy. This important imple
ment will douhtlt answer a good pur
pose in cutting tip old grass lands, disturb
ing ih root and lossening the soil, and
allowing a top dressing nf manure to work
down among the grass root, assuming in
this respect the purpose of a scarifier."

I ransider 7rr or VttcUt, taking all
things into consideration, at one f the
most valuable crops to the general farmer
that he can cultivate, for the following
reasons. It does not require rirfa ground.
It produces when sown ia October, an
early and valuable crop, particularly well
adapted for feeding horses and cows,

any other cnpf and if the seed ii al

return, 40 to 5) bushels per acre. If
own for saving the teed, it should be
own aa early in the spring a the wea
ther will permit, and not too thicka
bout 3 buhcta to the acre. If sown for
feeding, 3 bnshrls may be used. If
roiied wi h the horse bran in sowing, it
incrrasea iia value, and from the bean in
ome mra"uresuponing the vine offthe
eartH, it is less likely to rot. If sown
with br!ey or oat, for cutting green, or
with rape seed, it value i increased. It
ha one peruliaritr, that after a crop of
vetches come off poor ground, a good
crop ol oats will be obtained. -
Jiirdt vs. CaUrpHlan! On Sunday
we saw, front our parlor window, on the
lop limb of an apple tree, a caterpillar's
nest that had escaped the general havoc
that had been made of their edifices turo
weeks before. '
In a moment after a beautiful little red
robin alighted, and withoot ceremony be
gan to pillage the content of the nest.
How many , worms were abstracted we
cnnt say, but on examining the nest we
found as many hole perforated in it as
you will see ia any old target that has
been fired at.
We have not yet quite enough robin
in this vicinity to do the whole business,
but they aid ii much. When we hate
once been over the trees and broken up
the nests, the birds find i easier tn make
an imprnvion. If, in any New England
district, there are more robin than cater
pillar, drive them this way, if you please,
and we will feed them gratis.

our canker worm scarce. If you would

There is a critical time, however, in Ju

Mr. President, the Senate is in grave
ard responsible position, and judgment
and reason, not pision and tuttiei,Hiust
govern oor deliberations. Il Hands in the
rye of th world aod of posterity; and we
mun expect iheir scrutiny into our con
durt. 1 have never felt myself before
called upon to act in circumstances so
momentous, and where the peace and
honor of ny country were so much at
stake. I have never before felt mystlf
called upon to give a vote which 1 deem
so important in the affairs of nations; and
I pray God to ((table me so to give it, as
lo enable toe ta escape the condemnaiu n
of the wise and the good, both now and
hereafier. We bve a treaty which has
been so managed as t;t in volte the inter
ests or the fetlings cf four nations Mex
ic, Texas, the United States, and Great
Rriuin and which must draw upon us '
ihecyea of the civilized win Id, and of
unboin grueuticn; and this treaty, so
momentous in its contequeacre, is thrust
upon os in the crisis of a Presidential
election, and witiout the information
which th occision requires, snd which
can gie us an inside view of lis origin
aod formation. The letters, and frag
ments of letters, which supply the pUre

minutes of conferences, I ae all the air t f
oegmning in me miiit, ana neny an-
nouoce ajixed up case, which an out-
side and a nce-sided view is alone tre-
sented. VTa are in ihe dark, and cur
fa'ls for infonnstion are often answered
defectively, and sometimes with aru-
nienianve ana extraneous matter, to coun-
eract the effect of the information given.
