It is it) 8 prevailing opinion among farm- era that the pine leaf or straw is deleterious lo land consequently we annually see the "region or ihe pines" turnt iirtr for the purpose of destroying that poisonous sub stance! Do such farmers ever reflect up on the .wise provisions of Providence! For what purpose does the foliage annually fall? Is ii merely that new leaves may put forth to beautify and adorn the trunks? By no means. It is that they may go thiough their gradual and sure decay, returning to the e.rth not only the nutiiment which the earth hail given them, but thai richer quality whicu they had taken from the at mosphere. It is well known that pine soils lack potash, and it is proven br scienufic analysis beyond ravil or debate, that the pine leaf contains more potash than the leaf of any other tree; and potash is one of the first principles in the growth of all plants and vegetables. What a suicidal policy then to destroy thetarKeubstance destined by na'tire to enricli pine lands, and then murmur at unproductiveness? Farmers who cultivate pine lands, preserve your lands as you would your- dweHings lrpm the ruthless flames. Cover your cow pens, your horse lots and your sublet with pine stisw. The treading of the animals, with their manure added, will soon decompose it, which will make a fine compost for your vegetable, garden. Huabnnd your pine straw as vou would husband your crn. .for wulv &7yucaiL bounds ol reason, that you may desire. The finest Irish potatoes that are made in Ihis climaie are made under pine straw. This crop has. proved almost an entiro fail' ure in this section this season, and yet 'ould Ireland'' never produced a more 'mealy pratie ' than m crop turns out this season, planted under straw. There have been mtiny failures in attempting. to ewuTate ine irisn -potaioe in tins manner, but it has been owirtir entirely to not truly covering with straw. Like the fellow that took a feather and laid his head on a rock, they say if a few straws make such mieera ble potatoes, what Would toddsllb? " Those who nould have cpod Irish, potatoes, no matter whether the season be wet or dry. plant as follows, and von will not only gel a good return of delicious potatoes, but you will enrich the soil and save culture: As noon after Christmas as possible, plough the piece of ground tlesigted for potatoes; open trenches six or eight inches ' deep. and two feet apart, across the ground, hU the trenches with partially decomposed wheat, oat, or pine straw. Out the pota toe once in two, place the cut side down wards on the straw, about six inches apart, now ewer atr'with 'ltlKlrp'mAinrhg'ar(ii.' nn the lop of the ridges until it is all level, then cast on pine straw until it is eighteen inches deep all over the piece it will re quire no after culture. .anil each succeeding year with tie addition of a portion ttf straw; will increase In productiveness' As th winter and sprint; rains beat down the straw compactly, decomposition com men ces at the bottom, and no matter how dry the season may prove, there is always mois tuie, and consequently mealy and good potatoes) Remember ye who have pine forests that pine ttruw it the very best ma nure for pint lands. SAVE YOUR CRAB GRASS. From this time until September, Crab Grass may be sown for winter feeding- it is as nutritious as tbe best of noithern gras ses, it is easier made, and hen well man- need, yields a creater quantiiy of hay than any other grass; nndyetwe annually stSe the wharves ofour commercial cities lined with bundles of pressed hay from the North and West, whence it finds its way to all the liv ery .tables, and many ' a farmer's fodder less rack. It it not strange that we labor so hard to et terminate a better grass than we can possibly introduce from any , other climate! It is adapted by nature to our stock, and the only thing that nature has not taught about it is. how to save it so as lo preserve its nulricious qualities in its dry state. This must be done by the industry and genius of man. 1 have have seen loads of Crab Grass in the Columbus market, that was pulled by band instead of being cut, having a (ood portion of roots anil earth mixed with it. It was pulled when the teed was at maturity, and the leaves and stem had lost half their juices. No wonder that a horse would lay back his ears, and a cow turn np her note, at such laftcless, scentless foou Grass to be good and to tetain all itt aroma, should be cut in its inflorescence, and as much as possi ble, dri d in the 8 bade, ,. The. folio wing method of cutting, curing and raising bay. from the Ciermantown Telegraph., is full of tich instruction.' Farmers, try it with youi Crab Grass, and you' will buy no more Northern lay: Muscogee DenMCfat, , Clovkr M akiso II ay. Clover.' when intended fur hay, should be cut eaily. No thing is gained by permitting it to stand.- Whee cut in its green atale and properly cured, it makes an excellent food for horses, sheep, and young stock geneiallyi but it is gteatly lessened in value by long stand- 4o,iajrlr-llhM,'u' to when in bloom, or at latest, peiore ttie teen has ripened. In England, from which we derive many and valuable lessons in practical aicaf ture, clover is seldom or ever spread as with ug, the mote judicious farmera of that country belieing it far better and more economical on the whole to cure it in the cock, than to expose it by fpresdihg, to the wasting influenceof the sun and wind. Most persons art aware that ihe herbs in tended for medical purposes, are compar atively of lilUe value unless cured in the shade. That the sun abstracts much of (he goodnes from this species of hty, when expoied for any considerable length of time, is beyond a doubt By drying, mueh of the foliage, ar well as the blos soms, become detached and lost, ana as this constitulea where the growth is rank, much the most valuable part of the crop, us loss is a matter ol considerable impor tance, and should be guarded against by all means possible to be devised. We prefer mowing our hay when the air is clear; say from eight to eleven o'clock, after the dew has disappeared, and the ground becomes warm. We then leave it in the r warth till the approach of night, when it it carefully turned, by which a fresh undtied surface is presented to the night dew, and the wilted and comparative ly tlried portions secured by being turned under. In this condition it remains till the aftcrpoon of the next day, when, if th weather lie fair., it 11 pitched into 'grats cock,' and left to make. Care however, is essential in constructing the eo'ck , ns when too bulky, the grass will become musty, which grea.ly detracts from the valus of the hay. A tgrass cock' ought nerer locootaifi more than' eipnty or a nun. dred pounds of unmade or partially-wilted grass, and must not be formed- ton consoli dated, by .pre8urejis to- cause , -liability to ferment or heat. A careful and practi cal workman wilLpitch the grass into cocks much better and with far greater despatch, if the crop he an average one, than lb can be raked and cocked in the usual way. as soon as the hay is thoroughly made, it should TJbe, got iqwiihout spreading nd in dry wctther. t 4 A New AouicutrvnAr A4-tC. Hi', ron de Suarce hat been enlightening the London Society of Arts upon, ft South A merican tubercle , the culture of which he hat undertaken on a small scale Ha says it possesses a larger degree of nutri ment than most of the farinaceous plants which form the basis of human food in the English climate. The total weight ol the crop produced upon two acres and a bill cultivated by him was ten tons, from which three ton of flour was obtained From the stems of the plant, which msy be cut twice a year, and can be eaten as a salad or spinach, ninety gallons of strong acid were obtained, which when mixed wiin three tmes iu bulk, ot water, was wairadapted for drink. Tha ncid. il fer men ted and brought' to an equal degree of acidity with vinegar, is superior to the latter when used for curing or preserving meai, asitooes not render u iisrd, or communicate to" it a bad flavor. The flour obtained from the Oxali Crenaia is superior to that obtained from the potato, maize, of buckwheat, as it makes an excellent light bread when mixed in the proportion of one fourth with corn flour; that is not the case with mnize, or buckwheat flour. It is hardy and unaffected by temperature. and crows readily irr any soils, it being difficult when dTiee introduced, to eradicate it. Proper Appication or MANURE.Mr. Rennet (in the New York Club) considei ed the use of manure as all important to the farmer; and he had taken every means lo inofcase his manure lisnp, and ti ted ma ny experiments in its application. One year, upon the advice of the late Judge Buel, he had put 20 loads of unfermented manure on a held proposed fof Ruta Ba gss. He sowed afierwarda at the usual lime; but the crop came up tardily, and was destroyed, wheu it did appear, by the flea. The next year he used compost ma nure on the tame field, and had a good crop In amoal every 'nttance, he" found the composted manure of gteater advantage than that applied fresh from the barn-yard, and that it was better to harrow it in or plow il in thallow, than to turn it under the fust furrow. He had derived great benefit from the anthracite ashes, both as a top dressing and for hit crops. He had doubled his crop j)f hayby the application of these ashes alone, and brought out clover l- where it never appeared before. In a stiff clay soil, he considered them invalua ble. The cinders collected by the loco. motives in passing from Albany toSche. nectady he had procured to the amount of 800 or 1000 bushels, and placed them in hit compost heap, with great success. Hit, had applied the cinders to hit oniona eep erately, and had an unusual crop. He had alto used crushed bones, and on hit corn crop particularly, with great sue- ceta Ua taraintr aa tbe roou, be tound them fairly fringed with the bono dusU ORNAMENTAL GARDENIMO.

How much wiser the course lo pursue, to begin with our start in life, and enjoy the beautiful with the useful. It is not essential that grounds should be extensive for ornamental put pos es kit every one plant and ornament ac cording to his means, The journeyman mechanic when he returns home from his daily toils, and beholds his potted pi arils ploomlng in the window casement, or on the mantle, feels ft thrill of pleasure as great as does the Duke of Dovenshire, when he walks through his superb conserv atories. It is pleasing to observe the grow in; taste for ornamental gardening in this vicinity. The ysrds and gardens in and uear Colnmbus, will bear "comparison with much older sections. Many are detereil from ornamenting by wishing to commence on too graad a scale .

Lulumuus Democrat. PHILOSOPHY OF FARMING. Here is the secret of good farming. Yon cannot take from the land more than vou restore lo it in some thtpe or other without ruining it, and so destroy your capital. Uilierent toil may require diner- ent modes of treatment and cropping, but in every variety of aoil theae are gol en rules to attend to. Drain until you find that the waier thai falls from the heaven does not. stagnate in the toil, but runs through and off it freely. Turn up and till the land until your foot tinka into a -loose.,, powdery loam, that the aun and air readily past through . Let no weeds no cupy a place where a useful plant could grow- . Collect every particle of manure that you can, whether liquid or solid. ..Let nothing on the faim go to waste. Put in your crops in that course which experience has shown to lead to success in their growth, and lo an enrichment 'not im poverishment, ol the land, Give every plant room to spread its roola in the toil and itt leavea in the air. . From the New England Farmer. Ma; Colk, Dear Sin 1 have a young, thrifty apple tree orchard, containing one hundred and thirty trees of about fourteen year'. 450 win- i Par- the last to of six years the trees have been infested, at most trees art mora or lest, vith the borer, Last spring, I undertook an experiment for the purpose of extertninatinr the foe from (hit orehartl, if possible. The course pursued, and the result. I will give in de tail. . ' . . On the 13th of lattAprit t put around tfie base of the trunk of every tree from one to two thovelt full of house ashes. This was pressed down around the tree as hard possible.' I then put a quarter of ait ox carl load of swamp inn t around each tree, covering the asbet around the trunk to tho depth of about four inches. This I also Ipressed down leaving .the surface smooth and hard. From Ilia' time trntil the 14ih of the pres ent month, I made many and careful ex aminations of every tree; and in no single instance did I find any aign or indication nf thy workipg-"o( boreis: On the 14th of litis month, supposing that the time had passed for the miller to deposit her e gys; I commenced removing from each tree the muck and ashes. On examining the first tree.I foun.T, about four inches below the surface of the muck the chipping or eastings of a borer pressed hard against the ashes, ihe chips having become almost bar;! atihe hark itself. I proceeded to search for him, and itnmedi ately found him it seemed in. me in a and predicament. He had excluded himself from the air, nnd was in a lean, soft, flabby, condition, head downwards. The chips he had apparently last made looked old, as if he had given up work for ft considerable time before. The first tree and first borer was a fair sample of the whole, for out of almost every iree m ine orchard t dug out from one to ten borers. I found them all, as it were. in a perlect sate trap, and many of them were actually dead- The result then shows most conclusively to my mind that the bo rer wai obliged to give up wotfe, in conae- qucnee of tbe, muck anl ashes, being pres sed so hard around the trunk of the tree as to exclude the air, and prevent him from throwing out his chips. Since then, there 1snflrsig or tffdicatibh whatever of the mdler having left the trees fiom April 10 August, and consequently could not have deposited any eggs the present soason, 1 feel confident that I have killed every bo rer, unless tome may have escaped my obi tervation.

Relucted. THE UNCERTAINTY OF LIFE. Scarce a day passes that we aro not re minded ol the trail tenure man hat upon life and the things of time, and the necessity of preparing for that change which await all. A striking illustration of this fact came to our knowledge a day or two since. A gentleman, actively engaged in extensive business itt East Boston, was crossing the Ferry in company with a friend, and in the coune of conversation remarked, "Well, 1 have worked long enough, and hard enough, and have managed to secure sufficient prop erly to support myself and family through life; I mean therefore, to retire from busi ness and enjoy inysell tho real of my life." The gentleman arose the next morning , in his usual health, and went to the place of business, at about two P. M. he was seized with the Cholera, and ere (lie aun again arose, was numbered among io tleatlj His bright anticipations of future enjoyment on earth were blasted, and the wealth which for rears he had been toiling lo secure was in a moment forever matched from his pos session. Life ia indeed suspended by a brittle - thread, - which the faintest breath may Bunder, lioeton Journals ANECDOTES FOR YOUNO LADIES' We remember tome wheie to have tead a story of a youth who. hesitating in - his choice between two young ladies; -by both of whom he was beloved,, he Wat brought to a decUion by meant of a rote. It hap pened ode day, at all three were - wander ing through a garden, that one of the girls, in her haste to pluck a full blown rote, wounded her fingers with a thorn; it bled freely "rtdi applying the petala f a while rose to the wound, she laid, smiling! 'l am a second Venus, I have dyed the white rose red." At that moment they heard a cream; nnd fearing the other young lady, wno nnn loiiereu nenmu, nan met with accident, hastened back 10 aiti her. The fair one's tcream had been called foith by no worse an accident than had befallen her companion. She had angrily thrown away the oflendm flower, and mai'e to pertina ciout ami fretful a lamentation over her wounded fingers, that the youth, slier a little reflection, resolved on a snecdv union with the lesst handsom?, but more amiable of the two you nor friends.
