Bat wt mut keep stork, and be rre
ful to eave aH lh excrements, coupled
with all the herbage that it not eaten, to
restore to the soil what has been taken
front it. Thit it the principal resource
of the farmer who live in the interior,
and from whom we expert a portion of
lite gr-.iii that it consumed in cities ami
towns where oieu and business eongre-

. 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,

It 'it hisbly impoitant, then, to prevent
Ihe freezing, of the unfermented manure.
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

Horse manure has. therefore been lest
highly prized than it should be. 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

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 ' '

Tlie Journal of Commerce.' printed at
Ijouisrille, Kentucky, contains the report
of an address upon Rail Roads, delivered
by Mr. Kobmson. at the cour.-houe in
Lexington, on the 8th tilt. The speaker

For thit purpose he inqulret Into the ex
pense of marketing fifiy tont at a point
onehtndred miles distant, along a turn

cost where the latter it used, inrluding

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
