Y., a few dayi aince, we heard of a farmer a mile or two out of the village who waa famed for great cropa of Ruta Hngat. On visiting lug farm we found him a modest, unfssuming man, but earnest and we think wise, in bringing up hia farm to a much higher pro ductiveness than it had been in before he had charge of it. There ia nothing like turnips, he aaid, for increasing the manure heap ; and if fed to milch cows immediately after milking, he ia confident that they do not in the least injure the flavor of the milk. We became satisfied that thia gentleman knows very well how to grow crops of tur nips, of eight, ten or twelve hundred bushels to the acre, with aa great certainty as at tends most crops, without exorbitant ex pense for labor and fertilizers, and con sistently with leaving the soil in good heart and the best tilth. We do not believe the turnip crop as important for American as for English farmers. Thia trentleman does, and he certainly has a right to his opinion, has earned it, and has a better right to it than we nave to ours, liut we agree with him that whether thia crop ia as impor tant to ua as to English farmers or not, it is certainly of very considerable importance, and we earnestly requested a statement of his mode ol culture, to which we have re ceived the following abort but very valuable reply t Amenia, June II, 1817. Mr art. Editor Dear Sirs: M mode of raising ruta bagas after a corn crop, is, to plough at the same time as lor oats, and harrow ; then plough eight inches, and harrow twice up to time of planting; theu trench thirty inches apart, and manure in the trench with twelve to twenty loads of well rotted-manure ; then turn the furrows back on the trench. That leaves it in ridges. Rake the ridge off lightly. Plant last week in June or first week in July. Plant with Allen's seed drill. Then leave them till the plants are good size. Plough in a clear, warm dar, with a hail mom board corn plough. Turn the furrow to the plants, and if they are thick no matter if you cover them half up. Leave them about three days, and thin to six or eight inches. Plough again if necessary, or cultivate. For rais ing ruta bagas on sod ground, I plough when I plough for corn, seven inches deep. Harrow the tame as for corn, and cultivate two or three times up to the time of plant ing. ov three hundred pounds of cuano per acre, cultivate ami harrow in three Hays before plantinz. Plant with seed drill thir'tv inches apart. When the plants are larce enough, plough with corn plough. Turn the lurrow to the plants, not breakinz the sod ; thin as above, and cultivate again if necessary. HENRY W PETERS'. 1. S. For the w ant of a double mold board plough, 1 have not pursued the best plan. I would mark with a marker that would make six marks, and make the first one straight, then let one tooth follow the mark alreadv made. Then with the plough above named, I would plough in the center of the mark. Then manure if you like in the trench. Then split the ridges with the plough. Ilavt the row$ long if poitibte. H. W. P. rrent th Baltimore Patriot. FARMING IN THE WEST. The intelligent and eliinabl senior editor of the American Ftrinrr wa one of lite parly whocninpoaeil the recent treat railroad tt' enrtion In the Yrt. He was, as might have been expected. kern observer of the agrt cultural characteristics of the Iwentv-sil hundred miles of country through which he patted, and he aver that lie Itaa returned to hi home with the full conviction, that, for agricultural purpose, there ia no neceatity for any man in Maryland or Virginia to change' hit location that with only half the energy and industry which it will be necessa ry for htm lo employ in the West, he ran do far better in the Middle end Southern States. We hesrd similar opinions ei pre wed by other obaervant gentlemen during tht same trip. It it true that lite lertiitty ol Die virgin son of the Vet offers at first glance very tempting advantages lo tht hardy and in duatrioHS settlers, but there are serious draw backs lo b taken into consideration by those who desire It emigrate. It is manifest in the first place that speculators have bought up large proportion of the lands, which they hold at prices much higher than come within the means of the ordinary class of agricultural emigrants. Hot assuming that they have the meant to Durchate a farm, lite must yet be content to past many years of setreie labor befortthey can surround ihemaclves with the home content to which they have been ac- . . .i II-- as.-. l'l - ,L- rustometl in litr omcr ctaira. a ncrw ia ma land lo clear and fence, hue and outbuild ings to erect, roads to cut, domettictand farm hands to hire at cxtravazant wases. and dif ficult to procure in many instances at almost an turn, tauiuriant crops are ot nine tn the ds act tor. if he cannot contnand suf ficiency of force to houtt them taftlt while their transportation lo a remote market takes largely Irotn tlicir value. J he comfort or a home everywhere depends mainly upon the assistance that can be obtained in conducting the rougher details of household affairs in the educational facilities afforded the younger memoers ol the laratiy, and in the reasonable proximity of places of public worship. If those who emigrate to the newer States and teiritornes would but apply the same energy they are obliged to use there to the renovation of the ill fanned lands of the Atlantic bonier, and would consent to wear homespun, to live in log house, anil, eschew, ing all luxurious appliances be satisfied to live upon the products of the homestead, they could acquire a competence with more ease in settled neighborhoods than on the fer tile ami hparsely populated prairies of the great West. They would moreover be en abled to ei joy that social intercourse which is essential to the well being of ever class of persons, and living under fixed laws, among a people accustomed to respect pri vate rights, would be far more secure in per son and property. It is also unquestionable that improved land in the older States more rapidly appreciates in price than in the new, by reason of the greater density of popula tion, and the greater value of fertile soils within easy distance of a good market. We believe that no one need go West with a view to make money by farming, who is willing to apply the same amount of labor and to live in the same style on the seaboard. GRASS FOR HAY. When shall it be cut ? We say. clover. when in full blossom : herds-crass when out of blossom, but before the seed is fully ripe : other grasses, a little before they begin to dry up and become woody. The sugar turns to wood, and becomes indigestible if grass stands too long. If cut muth before or much after the periods indicated, it is less valuable. Nevertheless the difference is not as great aa is sometimes stated ; and we say again, as we have often said, that no farmer should do more than a fair day's work, in a day, nor require his hands to do much more, for the sake of cutting his grass at precisely the best time. It comes just when the hoe crops are to be attendetl to, and on the very eves of the wheat, rye, barley, and oat harvest, and when the flax, if that is grown on the farm, and we think it ought to be more than it is, requires to be secured. All good farmers are exceedingly anxious to get in the hay at the right time ; and how to do it is a harder problem than that of the fox, the goose aud the bushel of corn. F.very farmer must solve it for himself. There i one a little worse than to mew too late, and that is to have hay caught in a shower when ready to go into the barn. The damage to hay, of being wet after being thoroughly dried, is considerable, in addi tion to the labor of drying it over again. Yet it would not be wise to pitch a load of hay in less than half the usual time even when shower is at hand. Health is worth too much to peril by an unreasonable violent exertion. Our idea is that more men are seriously injured on the farms of this country in July than all the rest of the year. The effect' follows insidiously and tfiey are not aware what the cause was. Clover is better to lie a few hours in the swath, till the ground becomes heated, than to be turned over on the hot cround between the swaths, to be put in small tumbles towards night, these to be turned over the next morning at 10 or 11 o'clock, two to be put into one at middle afternoon, the tame da, and then be let alone till prettr thoroughly dried, than to be treated, as it too often is, in a way to deprive it of nearly all its leaves, and to convert its atalk, by too much exposure to .L ---- - J. - I 1 ! l! .!LI. tne sun, into a nry, wnouy ana inutgemoie mass. As to the'degree of dryness which should be aimed at, in curing clover and other grasses, much depends upon the qual ity ol the moisture. II it is the natural juice of the pass, no harm accrues, even if il neais attgnuy in tne mow; out ii u is rain water the chVct is worse. e have alwavt observed that t water soaked load injures the whole mow. A too green load ma trnluce a fermentation, which we ahould dirtlike?, but is not as apt to produce smut and unpleasant odor. CULTIVATION OF NATIVE GRAPES. I think very few of the thousand who cut tivate the Isabella and Catawba grapes, in the middle States, are aware how much the size and quality of the fruit is improved by high culture. I have four Isabella vines, which have riven me for two year oaat. fruit nearly at T . r . ....... large as those ol the Black. Hamburg, and oi very fine llavor. Perhaps it may please tome of your readers to know the treatment they have received. They stand in a border, twelve feet wide by thirty feet Km:. I prepare thia border by throwing out all the ami and subsoil to the depth of three feet The bottom was then filled up w ith atones, mixed with half lime rubbtfh (Irom the walls ol an old house) one foot in depth, Throwing away all Ihe subsoil, I then mixed with the gooil soil ten rart loads of stable manure, and two barrels of bme dust, and a cart load of leached tMtet. ith these all incorporated together, the border was made complete by filling up the remaining two feet upon the stones anil lime ruhbinh in the bottom. The vines were planted six feet apart and trained to an ttnricht trellis. I wss astonished at the gigantic shoots which they made the second and third years, the shoots were tome twenty-four feet long, tnd as thick at my thumb. 1 pursue the simple spur mode of pruning, and obtain reeular and heavy crops. Some of the bunches weighed pound and quarter laat year j and the bsrriet wtre m largt that many persons who saw the fruit would scarcely believe it was the same variety as the common Isabella grape. So much for the efforts of hi"h culture. AN AMATEUR. GRAPE VINES. There are thousands of acres of rocky hillsides over the country, which contain a sufficiency of soil in each of the many clefts ana small nouows lor a grapevine. Many of these are now covered with brush-wood, of no value, and incapable of bcins turned to cood account in an other wav. Yet hero we have some of the very best sites for . 1 . I L . . . vmeyarus, wiucn can De planted witn very mue expense, except clearing, burning and strewing the ashes upon the same ground. In such places the roots delight to run, provided there are a few inches of soil to cover them, lor they will lap around and creep under the rocks, and w ill draw mois ture and nourishment out of the stone itself. This is one of the most natural positions for the grapevine, in which, if the most luxuri ant growth be not alwavs secured, there will be a good crop of finely flavored fruit, and an absence of some of those diseases that we have often to complain of in a more arti ficial state of culture. Here the branches may be allowed to ramble over the rocks and inequalities of the surface j and, except ing judicious pruning, take their own war, and it needs no poet's eulogy to portray tlie beauty of such picturesque scenery. llurlkulluraliit. Curb Fob Dysenterv. The Middletown Republican copies the following, and certifies to its good effect, ts proved by experiment : "An old friend handed us the following simple recipe for publication. It has been practiced in his family fur many years with uniform success, even iu the ino't alarming stages of the complaint. Take indian corn, roasted and ground in the manner of coffee, (or coarse meal browned,) tnd boil in a suffi cient quantity of water to produce, a strong liquid like coffee, and drink a teacupfull (warm) two or three times a day. One day's practice, it is said, will ordinarily effect a cure." " OFT IN THE STILLY NIGHT." V MOORK. With tn tdJiliontl tttnza by Mr. Ford, of Beaufort. On in tht stilly night.

A little girl who had witnessed the per pletity of her mother on a certain occasion when her fortitude gave way under severe trial, taid I Mother, does Cd ever fret or scold ?" The auery was an abrupt snd atartlinz it arrested the mother's attention alinoot with a shock. Why, Lizzie, what makes you ask that question i" - Why.'God is good you know yoo used to call him the ' (d "Matt,' when I was little and I should like lo know if he ever scolded." No, child, tin." " Well. I am glad he don't ; fur to-l.lin; always makes me feel so bad, even if it ' not me in fault. 1 don't think 1 could love God muck if he scolded." The mother felt rehuked before hersimpel child. Never had the heard to forcible a Ire. lure on the evil of scolding. The words nl Lizzie sank deep in her heart, and 'e turn ed away from Ihe innoceut fate of her Mile one to hide the.tcars that gathered in her et c. Children are quirk ubterverf and Lizzie seeing the effect ol her words, hastcued to inquire t " Why tloyou cry, mother f Wat it naugh ty for me to ak aii many questions?" ' No, lure, it was all right. I wat only thinking how bad 1 had been lo tcold to much, when my gitl could hiar and be troubled by it." " 0, no, mamma you art Hot bad J you art a good mamma ; only I wish there were nut so many bad things to make you fret and talk like you did just now, It makes me leel away from you so far, as if I could not come near you, as I can when you smile and are kind ; and 0, I sometimes fear I shall be put off so far I never can get back again." "O Lizzie, don't say that," said the mother, unable lunger to repress the tears that had been struggling in her eyes. The child Winidrred what could so affect its parent, hut instinctively feeling it was a case requir ing sympathy, she reached up and laid her little armsabuut her mother's neck and whispered s " Mamma, dear, do I make you cry ? Do you love me?" ' O, yes, I love you more than I can tell," replied the parent, clasping the child to her bosom. "And I will try never to scold again before my little sensitive girl." " O, I am to glad. I can get so near to you when you don't scold ; and do you know, mother, I want to love you so much.'' This was an effectual lesson, and the moth er felt the force ol that passage of Scripture, " Uut ot the mouths ot babes have I ordained strength." She never scolded again. A MANIFESTATION OF STUBBORNNESS. On the Reading Turnpike, just this side of the St. George's Brewery, within the corpo rate limits, there is a very bad apot in the road. For some distance there is just room enough for t wasnn to pass over. Go to either side of that and you plunge into holes. A uoitt six o clock, evening be lure last, a stone wagon and a bugy, going in opposite direc tion, met in this part of the road. " Turn off," said the owner of the buggy. " I won't do it," replied the stone-hauler. " My wagon is very heavily loaded, and if I was once to get the vehicle into those holes, 1 could never get out."
