From the Yankee Farmer. PROTECTION AGAINST DROUGHT. In tillage, the best protection against draught that ran be conveniently practised tu a great rileitt, is frequen ly stirring the earth, so as to keep it light and lo ne. In this war, the earth at the surface is in nwny small psrticlrs, whi.h serve ss a iKiticiiii'iucior of moisture, and retains it below, where the routs obtain a supply. On ihe contrary, when the earth isiiard anil compact, il moisture is readily con ducted nS throu&h it, even to a great depth n a very dry time. As an illustration, if one end of, a long bar of iron oe put into a fiie, Ihe heat will readily paa to the oilier end but if that bar be cut into pieces ol one inch or less iu length, and laid along in the manner of a bar thepircea would touch in sume places and in others there would be a small space between them; and ii,hfat ing one end, the other wirjld not be cHVct ed. as Ihe li-st would not pass but a small space through the pieces. Again, we will suppose that a fire of in tensvhi'st be made on a block uf iron, i hat if f ur feet square, and ten feet high, the body of iron would fait become heated downward, e'ven to the bottom. Now, if that iiim shnuld be cut or broken into fine pieces, and a body of iron funned uf there pieres ol the same size as the biin k. snd s fire'nf like degree of heat tnsde thereon, he file would work down slowly, after penetrating a small distance thruujli the manj particles, and the air intervening b tween them. We g;tve this as 'he llvury. It is the practice, as in all other thinz, that .we rrly on as the foundation ol tiuc sci ence There is in a dry time, a great quantity of moinlure in Ihe earth, thai i continual y rising and passing oft in evaporation and if this evaporation can be presented, in a great measure by a non-conductor ufinois tuie at Ihe aurfare, the plants will suffer roinparatirrly but little. This is abun dantly shown in praciii e. Those who have not witnessed from ex I perimeHtsjmd ob-ervsiion the ail vanishes ui nne loose rartnnn me suriace. ass pro terlion nf pistils against ihe drought, would not be likely to suppose its effects so great as it is, though the theory is plausible ami reasonable. Corn and mhrr vegetables that have been well hoed in euremely drv times, have flourished well, while aome parts left fur experiment, were nearly des troyed by drought. We noticed ihe powerful e fleets of ihis protection last season. We cultivated a few arrca mostly dry land, and ihe drought ws a severe indeed. Where thr soil wasfre. quently a ired and kept light and loose on the top, there was constant moi-ture a short distsnce from the top but where the earth remained unmoved it dried to a great depth. A narrow strip, running gems the piece, was left fir turnip. & remained uhiIonj;h ed. On this the soil became 3ry below the usual depth nf ploughing, and the weeds were almost dead fur want nf nviimurr, while at the side, weeds were fresh and vi gorous, and the suit was dry only a few in chea on the surface. - Where some g sin was sowed, the earth wss dry down six or 'seven inch.es hile by the side of it, where the sail was often atirred, was dried downowly three or four inches. And n this latter rae, the moist earth had a good deal of muisture, while the former contained but little. , On this subject an intelligent cultivator observed, that he Would rather have six men amonj lands stirring the earth In keep it loose snd fine, in a severe drought, then to hsve the same uumber of men engaged in watering the plants. From thr American Farmer. RAISING OF UALVES FOR VEAL. There ia perhaps no mest which comes to our msrLeta in su indifferent a state as thai of Veal. When proper rare ia taken with calves, there ia no variety dfleh ap propriated to the consumption of man, more palitable or gratifying to the human appe tite, snd yet notwithstanding (his fact, from the indifference ma if-sted by thoae wba prepare then tor ihe butcher, there ia no meat, generally speaking, brought-to the shambles so ullrrally destitute of al preten tions to fitness ef rendition. A calf, if pro perly fed, would command at veal, such price as wonld be ample remuneration for all trouble and npense for rearing and feeding) but aa they are now brought to market, there is no part of the produce nf the farm whih pays so indifterenllr w-ll. Ar.d as there is a remedy at hand, lliis evil shnuld be corrected. With a view, uf contributing nor mite to wards ihe reform ofthis custom, of bunging poor rslvea to the slaughter, we will detail a method of making Jet ones, which we he seen successfully pursued. " The call when first calved should be ta ken from the mother and confined in a drv dark room, wiih plenty of bedding. I he mot ner anou ta oe let lo il le suckle it three times a day at regular Ttnura. and the calf should irceUe U her milk. , " When the calf is a week old, in addition to its mother's milk, it should be given be- tween me morning ami mui-nay and even ing limes of suckling, force balls made of raw egg and Haifa pint of corn meal at each messt the balls to be made of conve nient sire to be given the calf without diffi mj- ' " 3 oral, in intellectual, and in physicalesourccsihe land of our sires, and the RALEIGH N. C. culty. The manner of feeding which we "She could not have expected it.'' have seen pursued is this: ihe calPa head I "Oh, no, she did nut but then, a mo is held up snd backward by the feeder with J iher is a nmiher ToU know, and ! did not one hand, who u pens the call's mouth with Ihe other, and thrusts lite force ball down towards the root of the tongue, when, by closing and holding Ihe mouth, the calf ia rnmpelled to swallow the ball. These I wn additional feed will answsr until the third week, when anuther egg and additional half pint of meal must be given, about an hour after the evening suckling. Bv feeding in this way, in 4 weeks Ihe calf will be in good condition and ready fur the butcher, and will coimnand as much again as one which receives nothing but mother's milk. I hese balls would be the better of being made up with milk which had been scald ed. Should this method of feeding scour, that may be very promptly corrected, by mixing with the balls leaapoon-full of powdered chalk, snd sdd one fourth (hat quantity uf powderi d alum. A calf whit h ia large snd strong, msy be lurther improved by being fed with sw-et skimmed milk. The calf may be taught to drink the milk by forcing ita head down into Ihe veel containing it, and inserting ihe forefinger into ita mouth for a day or two. And the color of the veal may be greatly improved by suhjfe ting the cslf lo the op-rati on nf hi. eding. twice during Ihe fattening period, say at intervals uf 2 weeks apart. At all tjftnes the calf shnuld have in a troujrhcnnv'ciiient loit, with two apartments a small quantity of good hav, and grass nf some, kind, st either of which it may pick when it pleases. ENGRAFTING LARGE TREES. From some recent experiments it would sppear that there is no iliftirulty in engraft ing trees of any size on to other stumps, il the two correspond in size. It is only re quisite to eut off both and plane them smnf h, so that every part shall come in contact t then plaring the tree on the slump, serure it in it new position by braces, and cover the aeam or joint with engrafting wsx. - "A TEEFINTO TH R POOR HIGH MAN'S HOUSE, at miss sr.Dor.wicx. Susan at onre entered into Harry's views and in a abort time, she and her family were transferred to a part uf a small hnue in urmime street, piew lorn, w e room armed aa kitchen, parlur, and bed. room. It was furnished only with srti clesoflhe first necessity There wss i nog little bed mnm fur Uncle Pnit, which he said suited him exactly, and a comfor table, good sited one for Charlotte, with s nest rag carpet on it, "because Lottie suffered with rnld feet" and a fireplace in it.

Our friends were undeniably what the word rails poor. Dot they hsd affection, j intelligence, temperance, contentment, and godltiiea. Were lhy poor? Me shall see. In the meantime, let ua see if there is not aome misuae uf terms in this world. Morris Finley had "got on in ihe world.

Well, what of tha'?' She has given up her bouse." What ol thai?" . Why you know what of that as well aa I do ahe dues not know what she is to do next.'' We must premise that Finley'a father, in law had made some unfortunate, as well ag fortunate speculation he had died, and left his wife and au unmarried daugh ter penniless. s "I'm sure I csnnot say what she ia to do next," replied Finley -he is lutky to have ona daughter well provided for.
