AN OLD FARMER'S EXPERIENCE TO NEW
..:,..;-, BEGINNERS. ;,,....-,,,.
, Particularly tuck at lunt but Httlt to btqin in lit
world with. . :,,
In the first place, spare no pains to estab
lish for yourselves a good character fur hon
esty, punctuality, industry and economj. If
a man's credit is good and he is in want of
the loan of a few dollars, to carry on his busi
ness to a better advantage, he can readily get
it; but if otherwise, the lender will keep his
money, and the borrower may do as he can.
Never make a positive promise to par money.
or do anything else on a certain day, without
some proviso. Use all endeavors to meet
every engagement punctually at the time.
Avoia as mucn as poseiuie an jarring and
differences with others; if they do arise,
compromise the matter, even at some sacri
fice, if it can be done ; if not, leave it to a
reference, and there let it end. Re particu
larly careful to guard against beinz concern
ed in law suits ; in must cases it is better
to give up the claim than go to law about it
It is easy to get into the law, but oftentimes
very hard and expensive to get out of it.
If your capital is small, begin business on
a moderate scale, and as your gains and ex
perince increase, your business may also be
increased. Let speculating very much alone,
and be contented with the slower but more
certain profits of regular business. Avoid
entirelv all visionary sepeculative schemes,
that, like the mom multicaulis, hold out a
prospect of rapid accumulations, and making
an independent fortune in a short time. But
seethe result; all a piece of deception, at
tended with the loss of much money and
trouble.
If the business is farming, hare your work
so arranged as tu change from one thing to
another arlittle as possible in the same day ;
do one thing at a time, and that before begin
ning another; and always remember, that if
a thing ia worth doing at all it is worth doing
well. LH there be no hurrying and driving
of hired help, to get as much work as possi
ble oat of them in a day, nor pinch them
down to work for less than common wages J
there is nothing gained by it but the name of
a close fisted hard master, and perhaps a little
addition of ill-will.
Star at home, and see to the work Your
selves, that it is done properly and in the
right time. Deal fairly, and pay in cash or
short credits ; settle with all those vou deal
with at least once in every year. Keep fair
accounts of debt and credit, so that you may
know at any time now your anairs are going
on.
If rou borrow snvtliins of vour neighbor.
be careful that it be not injured, and return J
it as soon as you are done with it, and make
the samo terms with them when they bor
row. He accommodating, for it costs but little,
remembering that you mar yourselves be
placed in dimcuiry.
Have a plare to put all your tools and im
plements, in the day, when not in use, and
then you will know where they are, when
wanted to use asain. How often do we see
(ilows, harrows, &c, left in the corner of the
ence where they were last nsed.
A man will never make a poor farm rich
with but little money, unless these small
matters are attended to.
If there should be any new fangled project
got np, and there is hardly a year passes
wunoui, ior me purpose oi improving latiu,
or making money faster and easier ; if you
are disposed to try them at all, do it on a
small scale, and then if it should prove blank,
as they most commonly do, there will not be
mu.ch loss t but if it succeeds, try it again, as
one experiment in farming operations does
not establish a fact. ,
I amirove of farmers trrins experiments
on a small scale, that look likely to be bene
ficial in raising crops, or improving land.
There have been valuable discoveries made
thereby, and perhaps as many others the re
sult of accident. .
Such has been the experience of one who
spent a long life devoted principally to the
culture and improvement of the land; one
who practised what he has laid down in these
essays, and whose observations of the practice
of others, has conbrmed bis belief, that no
man will ever make a good farmer, in any
other way, save by his own experimental
knowledge.
A PRACTICAL FARMER.
Bybtrry, 3d Me, 1659.
, CHINESE SUGAR CANE.
A Committee of the United States Agricul
tural Hocietv which recently met at Wash
ington, made a report upon the subject of
the Chinese Pttgartjane, oi wntcn the follow
ing is a synopsis I
I. The soil and geographical range of the
Chinese Sasar Cane correspond nearly with
those of Indian Corn. It produces the best
crop on dry uplands, but the most luxuriantly
on rich bottoms of moist loams.
3. It endures cold much better than corn,
nd experiences no injury from the autumnal
frosts. It will also withstand excessive
drouths. Ripens its seeds in Meptember, in
dry and warm soils, in many parte of the
New England State J in the extreme South
it may be planted as late as the 20th of June.
J. its cost and culture is about the same
as Indian Corn. " , ' . : "'
4. Height of plant, when fully grown,
varies from 0 to 18 feet, and stalks vary from
half an inch to two inches in diameter. The
weight of the entire crop, when fully grown,
taken before drying, is from 10 to 40 tons.
Of seed, the amount is reported from 13 to
60 bushels.
5. During the early stages of its growth it
makes but little progress; so slow indeed, as
to have discouraged many cultivators ; but
-L . l .e. . ...
ma npproacn ut warm weainer imparts to u
a wondertul rapidity, the period ot growth
varies from 90 to 120 days.
.'The yield of juice was about 50 per
cent, trie number ot gallons required to
make a gallon of syrup varies from 5 to 10;
in New lirunswicK, 10 to 1 ; in Indiana and
Illinois, 7 to 1 : and in Maryland and Vir
ginia, 5 to 1. The yield of syrup varies from
140 to 400 gallons. The amount of pore
alcohol ranged from 5 to 9 per cent. Ripe
cane, grown on a light, warm soil, gives 11
per cent, of well defined crystalized sugar.
7. palatable bread was made from the flour
ground from the seed.
8. By accounts from all parts of the coun
try, this plant is universally admitted to be
wholesome, nutritious and economical food
for animals ; all parts of it being greedily de
voured, in a green or dry state, by horses,
cattle, sheep and swine,' without injurious
effects ; the latter, especially, fattening upon
it asVwell as upon corn.
9. Paper of various dualities has been
manufactured from the fibrous parts of the
stalk, some of which appear to be peculiarly
nttea ior a special use.
Poisonous Pboperties or Graao. A scrap
of information in regard to this subject hav
ing accidentally reached us, through a friend,
we give it to our readers. As the season is
near at hand when guano is handled most,
it is proved of some value:
A planter in our district, who had used a
w ater trough in which to pulverize or dis
solve guano, instructed that the trough should
be thoroughly cleaned before used. It seems
that the work was but imperfectly or partially
performed, and that a number of his hogs
drank from it in that condition. Some five
or six of these died a short time afterwards.
Their necks and throats were very much
swollen before death ensued. A call, which
also dratik, died in a similar v.ay. These
statement we regard- as being entirely re
liable. Great caution sliuuld, therefore, be
employed in the use of guano.

CURE FOR CANCER.
We find the follow ing statement of a cure
for cancers, in the Milwaukee True Demo
crat. If it is what it is claimed to be, it is a
discovery of great raloe, and we advise our
readers t preerve a paper containing it.
Some eight months ago, Dr.T. B. Mason
who keeps a music store on Washington
street, and whu is brother of the well-known
Lowell Mason ascertained that he had a
cancer on his face of the size of a pea. It
was cut out by Dr. Wolcott, and the wound
partially healed. Subsequently it ere a-
gain, and while he was in Cincinnati on bu
siness it attained the size of a hickory nut.
He has remained there since Christmas under
treatment, aod has come back perfectly cur
ed. The process is this t
A piece of sticking plaster wss put over
the cancer, with a circular piece cut out ot
the centre a little larger than the eancer, so
that the cancer and a small rim of healthy
skin next to it was exposed. Then a plaster
made of cloride of zinc, blood root and wheat
flour, was spread on a piece of muslin of the
size of tit is circular opening, and applied to
the cancer for twenty-lour hours. On remov
ing it the cancer will be found to be burnt
into, and appear of the color and hardness of
an old shoe sole, and the circular rim outside
of it will appear white and parboiled, as if
scsided uy hot steam. I he wound is now
dressed, and the ontside rim soou suppurates
onu tne cancer comes out a nard lump, and
the place heals up. The plaster kuli the
cancer, so that it sloughs out like dead flesh,
and never grown again. This remedy was
discovered by Dr. Fell of London, snd has
been used by him for six or eight years, with I
unfailing success, and not a esse has been1
known ol the re-appearance of a caneir where
this remedy has been applied. It has the
sanction of the most eminent physicians and
surgeons of London, but hat not not il recent
ly been asrd in this country, and many of
the faculty, with their proverbial opposition
to innovations, look upon it with distrust.
We saw Mr. Mason at charch yesterday, and
have sines conversed with him, and took par-1
ticutar notire of the cicatrized wound, and
we can only uy that if the cure is perma
nentand from the evidence of sit or eight
years' experience in other cases, wa have no
doubt it is the remedy ought to be univer
sally known. Wt have referred to this case,
because Mr, Mason ia well known, both hers
and at the EaU The experiment excited
much interest in Cincinnati, and we rail the
attention of this State to the remedy. If it
is what is claimed for it, this terrible disease
will be shorn of most of its terrors. The ap
plication is painful, but the nam is of com
paratively brief duration, which any on so
amiciea would cneeriuny enuure.

THE OLD TIME GRANDFATHER.
BY T. S. ABTHL'R.
Dear old man! He was a gentleman of the
old school, ripened by sge and experience. 1
see him now, as I look back through more
than forty rears, with his courtly eartnents
and courtly manners, his cheerful countenance
and cheerlut words, his manly bearing and
elegant address, lie had seen the world in
most of its aspects; had served his country
both as a statesman and a soldier; ha4 brav
ed, in his time, peril by land and peril by sea ;
yet, in growing older, he had grown gentler
and more refined. The attrition of life had
polished, instead of abrading the surface of
his character and marring its beauty. At
seventy, he was the model of an old man.
- Grandfather Deering he was called by
the half score of boys and girls in the third
generation, train two years old and upwards,
who spent many weeks of each recurring
winter and summer at the old homestead, to
be remembered long afterwarJs as the hap
piest times in all their livea. It was a plea
sant sight to see him amid these grandchil
dren. With the boys he was almost a boy
again. He entered into all their sports, and
encouraged them to activity that bordered
sometimes on daring. He had his fishing
tackle, and went with them to the river; his
boat, and accompanied them on water ex
. .. :...! - . .l. :l L TM
cursions, and picnics at the islands. There
. . t U ; .. ;M wk!k flt-a n.lf a li
" hums "iv..
Peering did not meet the wishes uf hi dar-
ling boys. As he advanced in years, the old
man crew tender neartcu. tie nau oeen
something of a sportsman in his younger
days; but now the sight of a bird, instead of
creating a desire to ahatter its beautiful hotly
with a leaden shower, awakened feelings of
admiration.
" Don't harm the bird." he would say to
his grandsons. They have an equal right
with you to life snd enjoyment."
But boys has a passion for fowling-pieces,
and are destructives by nature. Grandfather
Deering's boy were no exceptions to this
rule. They begged t-r guns; but the old
man, so indulgent in all things else, was un
yielding in this.
" No, no, no," he would answer their im
portunities "not a bird shall be harmed
here. 1 love them too well. Shame on you,
boys, for being m cruet-minded! It plea
sure so rare, that rod roust seek it in the
destruction of lifer 1 shall have to send
you atl home again, I see. You are not hap
py at Grandfather Deering's."
And so he would conquer. The little
girls, his grand-daughters, were an espocial
delight to the old man. He saw their moth
ers' childhood revived in them; and that
must have restored in almost living freshness
the sainted image of one these flagrant hu
man btoMomshad never seen.
Grandfather Drering was not a chi'.ilih,
but a manly old man, in the last he retain
ed all tht accomplishments of eady and mid
dle life. In company, his graceful attention
l ladies was in marked contrast wun tne
awkward restrains, coin reserve, or aimon
offensive indifference so often witnessed in
those who are advanced in rears. t ith
young men, whose society he liked, h was
suable, courteous, and free from dogmatism.
His mind was active and progressive; ami,
though old in rears, ha was young in thot'it
and feeling. It pleased him to note the ardor
of impulse in young men, and his aim was to
direct, never to restrain it. He was always
ready to excise their errors; to sympathize
w'uh them ia disappointment; to help them
opwards by kind words, instesd of depres
sing them br cold discouragements. With
young ladies he was neither critical nor cyni
cal. The new aspects of fashion never dis
turbed him, though he had not changed his
own style of dress for more than twenty
I jean. IIjw gijiy, anu wim mem wnat ionu
familiarity, would the sweet maidens gather
around the dear old man in every company
where he appeared. They felt no restraint
no repulsion but were drawn to him by an
attiaction of affinity. It was youth and
beauty clustering about ripened age, mellow
and lucsiciou.
It is now many years since this old time
grandfather passed away, and left behind him
the fragrant odor of an almost perlect life.
But there are hundreds yet living who will
recognize him in the brief sketch we have
given. Would that there were many such old
time grandfathers! The world needs them.
Speech of Hon. JOM A. GIL3IEB,
OF NORTH CAROtlMA,
Delivered In the House of Representatives, March 30th,
I85S, on the Senate bill for the admission of Kansas
with the Lecompton Constitution and the Green
Pugh amendment.
Mr. Chairman, I have been an attentive
listener to tbe arguments on this Lecompton
question for three months. Whilst some of
the speeches have been calm and considerate,
I feel constrained to say that, by far, the
larger number have been violent and extreme
