The manure from neat stock Is mnrr abundant than frnu other snimil in this -part of ihe country, and thit manure Is lea likely to be injured by heating than that which is dropped by horses and, sheep. But the manure from neat stock is much injured by freezing before it lias been mixed with other matter.- After it1 has frozen and again thawed two or three time, it it found to have no scent or ef fluvia, and 'may be handled at freely as a lump of clay. ' I ; r .. When the eattlo are suffered lo go t distance for water ia the winter, they may drop manure in tlieir path through the field or pasture. 'The gronnd was cover ed with snow, and no trace would appear in summer of the winter patfi tf the cat tle, save the lumps of excrement that were left on the wty. a Now you might suppose Dial here the grasses, etc. would grow, tank, and exhibit evidence of the manure dropped in winter. . But you will be dis appointed ; the manure here wat to fro zen while in an unfermented tiato that it is nearly I or I to the owners of die soil.

And Uie first step towards it is to keep the r'alilo shut tip in the barn or yard through the winter season, and till the month of May. ,Vhat they drop in their cow-yard is trod oo and mixed with other matter, which served to retain at leant a part of the essence of the article. Oxen and cows lied up in the bat n expose their excrements still lest, and cellars may be so contrived . as to prevent all injurious freezing through jhe winter. . This it a very important point, and all , farmers should turn their, attention to it. .The prevention front frost will alone tepay the cost of a cellar in a few years, to say no thing of the advantage of teeming the liquid, which is loo often' entirely, wast- -Ht ' .

But when rightly managed there is no manure that operatea better, or remains longer upon the soil. Some kinds of manure work sooner, but they are sooner spent. , ' Hog manure, for instance is active very early in the season, arid it makes very good corn ; but we see very little of its virtue the succeeding year.' Horse manure that has Wen welt kepl.'and that has absorbed all ihe hnrre urine, is the most lasting "' i manure uiui we ouiain irom am I'.i " O THB USE OF MULES. , ,: 1. Moles, on a general average, live more man twice as long as horses. They are fit for service form three years old to thirty j f At twelve a horse has seen his best days and it going down hill.' but mule at lhat age hat scarcely risen out of nit rolthnod, and;?oe on improving till lie is twenty. Instances are recorded of mules living sixty or seventy years, but these are exception. ' The general ml is that they average thirty; 5' ' ' 2. Mules are never exposed lo diseases as horses are. Immense turns of money are annually lost in the premature death f. high-spirited horses by accident and I'nse. , The omnibus lines in the city f New-York have not been able to sua .'in their losses and are beginning to ue mI. pas liable by far even to acci 'ei.t . aa disease.. This results lion. i,t. consideration, which, is i!hi , . 3. Mulct" have organs of vUUm and j heiring far superior ta those of the horse. ! Hence they seldom their, and frighten, nd run off. ' A horse frightens. because he Imagines he sees something frightful, but a mule, having superWIhecenimrnl, both by the eye and ear, understands every, thing he meets, and thervhwe ia safe. For the same reason he it surer footed, and hence more valuable in mountainous re gions, and on dangerous rod. I doubt whether on the Alpine paths mule ever made misstep. He may bae been de ceived in the firmness of the spot where he act fiit foot, but not in the propriety of the r ho ice, all appearances considered, i 4. The mule is much more hardy than the hore. A pair of these animals, owned by a neighbor of mine,' although small in size,' will ploufh more land in a week than four horns. -Their faculty of edurance is almost IncmJible. ' ' ' 5. Another very Important fact Is, that in the matter.oi food, a mule will livend thrive on less than one half it takes to keep a horse.- The horses of England, at this present time, are consuming gtain, which would save the lives ol thousands of Britiah subjects. In a national point of view, the agricultural interest it so great, that the greiter the demand for grain of all kinds, the belter for the farmer. But yet individual farmeis, who are in jlebt. and whose land is not improved, would find it profitable, in the course often years, to have the labor of e full team, and save one half and more ol the fond necessary to keep it up. as might be the rase in sub stituting mules fr horse.' 41 ' ' b'ttvYork Farmer end UttJumie.

The speaker instiiulet a comparison between the cost to the farmer of different modes of trans portation in getting hit produce lo market. For thit purpose he inqulret Into the ex pense of marketing fifiy tont at a point onehtndred miles distant, along a turn pike and a Rait Road. He estimates the cost where the latter it used, inrluding me personal expenset of Ihe farmer in going with hit crops to dispose of them, four timet a year, at 9163, having pre- nously calculated the expense of market- Ing the same quantity by turnpike at t850, and then proceeds j ' ' " 7 ' ' ' ' nrrirppd - "' ' ' ' I Deduct this tIGS from 1850, the rest of the farmer along a' turnpike, and we nave a positive tlinerence of 685 in fa vour of the farmer along a Rail Road, and against the farmer along a turnpike. ' This turn of 9083 wilt pay the interest at ttx per cent, (which, I bejieve, it legal eat in Kentucky.) orxn the turn of 911,400; consequently, the farm along a Kail 'fond is worth inrt 911,400 more, than a farm along a4 turnpike, tupposine all other things to be equal. " ' I If such it the difference between Rail Roads and turnpikes,' what mutt be ihe ; difference between Rail Roadt and com- mon dirt-roads, where the cost of trans portation it double the cost of the same' work upon turnpikes. 1 was Informed, few days since by one of the wealthiest; snd most intelligent farmer in Mason county, that he paid last winter twenty five cents per hundred, or five dollars per ton, for transportation of hemp eighteen mile. s This will amount to over thirty- one cents per ton per "mile, or more than double the cost of the tame service upon a turnpike ' ' ! V Supposing the statement I have just read to you lo be a correct one a (and I be-j lieve it to be such then the land of the farmer who ha a Rail Road, and i one hundred mile from a market, i worth just as much per acre for agricultural pur poses as is land of the same quality upon a-iurnpike, nineteen miles from the tame market ; and is worth just aa much as is urious meals. The meanness of such as land of the same quality situated rtpon a piratinns enables us to say without com- common dirt-road, (such as you have in Kentucky,) nine miles from the same market. This, gentlemen, is one of the reasons why Rail Roads are of benefit to the farmer. This is one reason why hit land is increased in value. There are other reasons of fully as much importance. The farmer can send to market articles by Rail Roads that it it impossible to send by Wagons and turnpikes. He can send bark; wood, ship-timber, shingles, stares, lumber, honey, butter. &c.;and a great variety of articles he cannot dispose of otherwise, ..The same benefits, in less degree, accrue to the farmer, in the shape of the decreased coats to bim of the arti clet he must buy for hit own use ; inch aa salt, sugar, iron, teas,' coffee, clothes, &c and. in fact, of all articles he uses, that he does not raise. ;!;?; i. " Salt is worth in Paris or Lexington fifty cents oer bushel, iron five or six cents per pound, and coal twenty cents per bushel. These same articlet Can be pur- chased in Maysville at thirty cents for mo . . iL' i cost you ten or eleven cents, per bushel, instead of twenty to tweny-one cent, as j U at present the ease."; s v r 'After making aome remarks upon the advantages of transporting live-stock by Rail Roads over driving to market, Mr. you now raise to a market.

" The consequence is, that the farms in that region of country have increed in value from 110 and f50 an sere to 9100, and even 1150 per acre; while the farms J still more remote from new York, tay 250 or 300 miles, which before ihe con- struftion of the road were worth at rufiinn at ihe road were wottli from ten to fifteen dollars an acre, now readily bring from fifty losereuty-fire dollar per i .. tjc. .
