From the Country Gentleman. CHARCOAL AS A FERTILIZER. ,. f)f all th absorbent, not even excepting rypaura, charcoal ii by far the most vtloa dIi and the onlj objection urged against its more extended use, is the expense which at tends its introduction into many parts of the country. But were its true merits, not only as an absorbent but a fertilizer, better known, many means could be brought to bear which are now u nth ought of, and it would b seen occupying a more exalted place in every farm and garden. Fertilizer, did we say ? Yes, fertilizer ; and to justify ourselves we will give our reasons, for we" wish to com mend it to the respect and confidence of our practical friends, whose good will we have been so anxious to maintain until the close of these remarks. Now anything which adds fertility to the soil, according to our Webster, is a fertilizer, and as such we take leave to name charcoal, a substance which never remains inactive, unless under the dis charged receiver of an air pump. On the earth, in the stables and yards, at (he dungheap, it is ever at work, taking up first the ammonia and nitrogen to teed poor half-starved vegetation. Anon, its office it changed, its field of work is in the clouds, the thirsting plint is refreshed by its dewy contact, crows, esins, and ripens the rich seed all through the medium of this piece of I -i, i . uusi tins nonentity, as u is caiiett, wmcn contains many times its own weight of nutri tion and subsistence. For proof of this we need only refer to the authority ef an eminent Swiss chemist, Saussure, who, by actual experiment, ascer tained that one cubic inch oi fresh box-wood would absorb and condense 90 inches of am moniacal gas, SS'uf carbonic acid, 91 of oxy gen, and 71 of nitrogen t and, as remarks this distinguished naturalist, " this property gives it its great value in putrescent corn posits and as a manure." Although we should advise the use of char coal mostly as above recommended, still we do nt doubt that when it .can bn whie,ir.i at a moderate expense it will pay. applied as top-dressins, especially on grass and ver fields. hen thus annlieil. Irom t nrtv . . e J .1 to luriv Dusncie iw me atic snuuiu ue uscu.i It U also recommended as a top-dresaing for turnips, and in drv seasons would undoubt edly prove nf great advantage to them, as it would absorb moisture from the dews fur their nourishment during the parching influ ence of drought It could be used even after the drought had fairly commenced, and might be produc tive of n looked fur results. Turnips are known to thrive in very dry seasons when supplied with moderate dews, and the effects of charcoal would be to make the most of these wise provisions of a benefi cent Creator. O. T. II.

GROUND VS. rNCROl'ND CHAIN FOR STOCK. Main. Edilort Permit me to lay before your readers, my view upon the advantage ous results to be attained by feeding Hock upon chopped ti. wholt groin. At a matter of economy, I believe that few persons understand the superiority of chop ped to whole grain, at rood for ttock of all kinds. I may perhapt take extreme vitws of the advantageous retultt to bo rained by th modt of feeding. I rannot give a philosoph-' teal explanation of the fact, or what I con! aider as such, that one half of a given quan tity or number of pounds ot ground or chop ped grain, will be as effectual for fattening and keeping in a healthy state, any and all kinds el stock, as double the quantity or number of pounds of whole grain When we take into consideration the fact that a horse, an ox, or any other animal being fed on whole grain, passes but very little, if any ot it, irom mm tn a wnoie or unuigesieu state, it seems very difficult to account for the superior nutritive properties of chopped grain ; yet my expenence convinces me titat it certainly p'ossesscs all the advantages I hare claimed for it I will even go so far in advocating chopped instead of whole grain, lor horses particular!?, whether ther are to be used on the farm or on the road, as to say mat l tuny believe that a horse will do bet-, ter on a given number nf pounds of grain, prepared as suggested, with say eight pounds of hay, cut, moistened, and properly mixed with the chopped erain, than he will with double the number of pounds of grain lea whole with all the hay he will eat. In confirmation of mv views upon this subject, I will state that I have always kept one or more horses, which have been used exclusively for driving or riding, and I am sure the amount of food consumed by my stock is small, compared with the amount fed by neighbors, who never feed any other than whole grain, and who disagree with me in opinion on this subject; vet I am conn- dent that my horses are always in better flesh, and quite as spirited as theirs ; and 1 believe that the same method of preparing and feeding grain, will be equally beneficial tot imlcli cows, calves or sheep. U. 11. Al. HOW TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF A COW. Every one who owns a cow can see at a glance ihat it would be profitable to increase the value of her, but every one cannot tell how to do it. We can, and we think that we can make it equally palpable to our rea ders. If a cow is kept for butter, it certain ty would add to her value if the butter making properties of her milk should be improved. In summer or winter this can be improved justastheyield of a cultivated crop can be im prevetl, by what is leu to each, anil il is simply a question of will it pay, in manuring the one or feeding the other. Indian corn will add to the quantity and quality ot the butter to a very sensible degree, and it is simply a question of easy solution, by experiment, whether it will add to the profit of the butter-maker to buy corn at one or two cents a pound, and convert a portion of it into but ter at 3 cent a pound, or whatever the matket price ot corn and butter may be, and '!' ?f into fat, and another portion oi it into mauuic, tn:i .eil clo-fnatural resultof the chemical change protlur etlin me inuuraiory ui me cuvi mumm Tint same result will follow anr other kind t . -.. - . . of feeding. Good pasture will produce an abundance of milk, often as much as the cow can carry ; but doe it follow that even then it will not be profitable to feed her with some mure oleaginous food to increase the quantity of butter, just as it sometimes proves pro fitable to feed beet to enable them to store more honey? It certainly does appear to at that the value of a cow, feeding upon ordinary winter food may be almost doubled by making that food suitable lor the purpose of increasing the quantity ot milk, if that it the purpose for w hich the cow is kept Farmers gener ally understand that they can convert corn into beef, pork and lard, and tome of them know exact. at what price per bushel it will nay to convert it into these substances t but ilues any one know at what rate it will pay to convert corn or any other grain into butter, or any other kind of feed into the dairy products? Is the whole business a hap-ha.ard one? We fear so. Some per on this point would be far more worth of agricultural pr17.es than it it to tee who can ,IW the largest titctl roots; lur oy a lew ; carefully conducted experiments we should be able to increase the value of a cow almost at pleasure. ti. Y. Tribune, MINISTERS' SONS AND DAUGUTERS. The salaries of the clenry of the United States do nt average five hundred dollars a J year, and yet, as a clas, they arc the best ilcated. the most influential, the moat ic "" rennets and elevated of the nation 1 :. With less culture, with less character, with If mental power, tlserat art men. the land, srhji earn from one to tn thousand dullart a year. But lo I results. Takinir them a fh e all over twenty-five look at the results. Taking them at they come, the biographies of a hundred clergymen who had families show that, ol their sons, one hun dred and ten became ministers and of the remainder of the sons, by far the larger num ber rose to eminence at professional men. merchants and scholars. At to the daughters, their namet are merged into otherst but there it a signifi cant lact, which we do nut remember to have seen noticed in that connection, that not only here, but in England, where titles art to highly prized, and the possession of " gen tle blood" it a paport to' high places, it is very often referred to, at a matter of note, as indicating tafrty and respectability, " Hit mother wat tne daughter ol a clergy man.' We will venture the opinion, that three fourths of the great men of this nation are not over two degress removed from clergymen.' families or Irom familiet strict ly reliziout. When it caa be said of a man, or woman, that the father, or grandfather, wat a clergvman, there it a feeling within ut of a Certain elevation of character, A kiud of guarantee of respectability of blood, of purity anu integrity. We need not ask if the history of any other hundred families, taken as they come, nf re nowned generals, ot great statesmen, ot suc cessful merchants, or splendid orators, or eminent physicians and lawyers, can give another hundred and ten sons to occupy po sitions as respectable as their own never, nor is there any approach to it. Half of our "successful" merchants die in poverty, eventually, while their sons grow up in habits of idleness and early dissipa tion (as is also the case, more or less, with most of the children of prominent men ;) disease wastes their bodies, the disease which originates from demoralizing indigencies ; while the mind itself, from the want of suf ficient stimulus to energy, dwindles to a point below mediocrity. As to the daugh ters of the worldly eminent, what becomes of them? They devote themtelves to fash ion, and dress, and revelry, and a vain show ; to be wooed and won by men who grew up without occupation, looking to their fathers' fortunes; or by adventurers, who live by their wit. the end being, that most incon gruous of all combinations, poverty and pride, with that most bootless ot all ambi tions, to keep up appearances than which, a more hideous, painful, and unsatisfying struggle, no human being could ever encoun ter. In short, the rarest of all things in this country is to find a grandchild enjoying the fortune or position of the grandparents if, indeed, there be any grandchild at all for disappointment, fed by want ot occupation, trrinds out the life, and quite early, too, of the children of the world. A daughter of one or the richest men ot America ten years ago, herself the wife of a great man, has an attendant, whose whole duty it is to keep her from intoxication. Another daughter drank ravenously her cologne water, for want nf spirits or opium, and died in infatuation. One of the most splendid women of our time degrades bersrlt, at varying intervals, by a regular drunken boutt. , Thus it is, that we regard the privation and the poverty of the clergy as a means of perpetuating me meniai vigor, ine real thrift and position of our nation. They are literally the salt of the earth ; not only its preserving principle! of to-day, but for fu ture time. Great reason, then, have cler gymen, and clergymen's wives, to bear their present burdens of daily labor and daily stinting. Plain dwellings, plain clothing, plain food and even that not over abun dantmay be their portion here below; but. besides the rewarti aunve, they will De hon ored and affectionately remembered, when they are dead and gone, by the very people for whom they labored, and who allowed tliciu tu nun - . it another and higher reward than human appreciation their influences for good are nerDetuated in their children, bud: I v. men tal and moral, and this is the pith of this ar ticle. The straitened circumstances of ministers' families give that kind of praticat teachms. that suitableness and preparation for practical life, in alter years, which is so necessary to success. Having nothing to look for, but the results of their own exertions, they early learn to be self reliant and thnughtlul, impressing the whole character with a manly dignity, which everywhere commands respect. In addition, knowing that they must Ucpentl on themselves, tney at once begin tnose cuvi - ties which ensure health, while by stern ne cessity of extremely plain Lire ami homely accommodations, witli the impossibility o'f meant to secure luxurious inriulgcncies, or the opportunities of frivolous amusements and trifling recreations, their bodies grow up to vigor and healthfutness which give that power tn mind which commands success in every department of human life. In addition to all these, there are those moral teachings, which fall at ceaselessly as the clews 01 tnei sky, and as gently, from the earliest inlancy, ; the miU( u jlt,le Xut a principle invaded moulding the character, and fixing thoe bf il,e en em vnota moral sentiment lost principles of action, which so well sustain !ul , jewc tne crown 0f 00110r mining." their possessor! in life 1 conBtctt, and which j took m ian,t an(1 sntnhz it hard, elevate all with whom they come in contact Take courage, then, ye " ministers of the word."

" O no," said I, speaking out warmly 5 " not in any sense a ruined num. The mer chant may be ruined, but, thank God ! the man is whole." The little company looked at me for a moment or two, half in surprise. " The man is all right," I went on. " Only the scaffolding on which the workmen stood who were building up his character, has fallen. Erect, calm, noble, half divine, he stands now, in the sunshine and in the storm. Around his majestic brow the clouds may gather; upon it the tempest may beat; but he is immovable in his grand integrity." Some smiled at mv enthusiasm. To them there was nothing of the morally sublime in the ruined merchant Others looked a little more thoughtlul than before; and one said feebly": " There is snmetiiinjr in that." Something in that! 1 should think there was. It was the first intelligence I had received of my friend's worldly misfortunes, and it grieved me. In the evening I went to seo Jacob Atwood. Th windows ef the elegant residence where he had lived for years were closed. I looked up at the bouse it had a deserted aspect. 1 rung the bell ; no one answered my summons. I could not repress the feeling of sadness that came over me. The trial must have been severe even for a brave heart like his. " I must find him," said I. And I did find him ; but far away from the ncielibor- 1 hood where merchant princes had their palace nouses. 1 ne nouse into winch he bad retir ed with his family looked small and mean and comfortless, in comparison with the ele gant abode from which he had removed. I rung and was admitted. The parlor into which I was shown was a small room, and often see in the houses of well-to-do me chanics, or clerks on moderate salaries.
