The Farmer's Prospect.
Wo learn from different parts
of the country that the pros
pect for a rich harvest is very
flattering. The Wheat crop is
well spoken of north of us
and in this county the prospect
is pronounced to be cheering by
those who have enjoyed the
means of obtaining information,
so that we hope that low price9
may be counterbalanced by the
abundance of production
This is the season for the
farmer to enjoy the pure and
unalloyed sweets flowing from
his occupation. Having just
returned from market with cash
to pay his taxes, his merchant's
and blacksmiths accounts
and here and there a generou
hnart, to pay the printer he
feels till the independence of a
freeman, and views with de
light the budding beauties of
his coming crops. lie views
all nature as she sports and
smiles around him, and inward
Iv adores Him who is the ffiver
of all blessings He listens to
the song of the birds, and con
templates the beauty of the
lawn he smiles upon the antic
feats of the young lambs of his
flock and surveys with calm
and dignified joy the scene act
ing upon his Homestead and
all around attunes his peaceful
heart to sing the praise of the
great and glorious author of his
existence! Oxford Exam.
Carrots. It appears not to
be generally understood in this
part of the country, that carrots
are among the best and most
nutritive food for cattle and
horses. One bushel of carrots
will yield more nourishment
than two bushels of oats, or po
tatoes, and it is a remarkable
fact, that horses will frequently
leave oals to feed on carrots,
after they have acquired a rel
ish for them, and thrive aston
ishingly well, when fed upon
them. They not only give
ihem a fine flesh, but a rich
brilliant gloss.
If our farmers would turn
their attention to the raising
of this vegetable extensively,
they would find a great saving1
in grain, as well as a visible
change in the thrift of their ani
mals. As a matter of economy
and profit, it is of vast impor
tance. The quantity of carrots
which may be raised from one
acre of good land, is almost in-
crctu
lible. Where the land is
rk'h and mellow, an acre will
yield from 1,000 to 2,000 bush
els. The process is simple,
and the labor comparatively
light.
Horses will work on carrots
nearly or quite as well as on
oats, and keep in much better
order. Ohio paper.
Hilling Corn. Erastus
Ware, of Salem, Massachusetts,
says of an excellent field of
corn, which obtained a premi
um, that it was hoed three
times, but not hilled as has
been customary; and upon a
comparison of that not hilled,
with a piece which was in some
legree hilled, after u 5evere
gale, he is satisfied that no ad
vantage i-s gained by hilling ;!s
was formerly practised. Ilia
opinion is that there is no bene
fit to be derived by hilling corn;
and corn raised on a flat sur
face, when the weeds arc de
stroyed nnd the ground kept
loose, is by no means so likely
to suffer by the drought, or to
have its roots impeded in the
search after their proper nutri
ment, as where the ground is
drawn up round the stalk in a
high and steep hill.
Mass. Gaz.
American Silk. The Editor
of the American Farmer is au
thorized to say that any quan
tity of cocoons will lie purcha
sed the ensuing season, by a
gentleman who is preparing to
erect a filature in Baltimore.
From forty to fifty cents a
pound will be givr-n for ihem,
according to tho quality. Par
ticular care should be taken in
killing the chrysalis, that the fi
bre of the cocoons be not inju
ried by heat, and that, all the
chrysales be certainly killed.
If me cocoons be put into a tin
vessel the cover closed perfect
ly, and the vessel be placed in a
kettle of boiling water fur half
an hour, the chrysah's will be
all killed and the cocoons re
ceive no injury from too high a
heat, as the water will piMtnt
the temparature from rising a
boye the boiling point. At for
ty cents a pound, cocoons will
be a very profitable article.
One person with a buy to asMst
during the last ten d ys, can
attend to one hundred thousand
worms; which if well attended
to, kept clean and well fed with
white mulberry leaves, will pro
duce 30U0 pounds of cocoons,
which will bring at the minim
um price, 8120.
Lampas of Horses. As the
season of the year is now ap
proaching, when some people
commence one of the most, cru
el and barbarous practices, ever
retained by any people, pre
t( tiding to be civilized viz:
th:tt of burning out the bimpas
fiom the mouths of ycung hors
es, we cannot refrain from ma
king a tew remarks upon that
subject.
The idea that the enlarge
ment of that pan of the roof of a
horse's mouth, a disensu, has
long been exploded by all vete
rinary surgeons. All horses
are subject to it, between the a
ges of three and five, mo or
less; and in many cases, this
soft spongy enlargement, de
scends to a level with the fore
teeth, yet upon examining it,
there will not be found any
marks of tenderness or inflama
mation indicating disease; and
if left to the operations of na
ture, will disappear, and the
horse will have a sound and
healthy mouth; not to speak
of the danger of bleeding the
horse too freely, by opening the
palentine artery; the manner of
performing the operation, is
shocking to the feelings of hu
manity, as well as painful to
the animal. It is uncalled for,
and must be considered a piece
of wanton cruelty.
