" ! :- How to Fatten Lambs for Market. A correspondent of the Maine Far- mcry says, that 'Mr. Elisha. Soper of Orland, had for years fed grain to his sheep,' for the purpose of forwarding ' his lambs, but received butlittle benefit therefrom. 'He at .'last' thought there might be a better way, so he tried the "experiment of feeding Ms -lambs with oats, in a. trough made by. nailing two raising it about six inches from the floor. "He puts in the oats-and leaves them until the lambs learn to eat them, -which he says they will do when about three weeks old. . He leaves'a passage for his lambs so small that his sheep cannot trouble them, both m his barn J m 1. " going, to pasture, and continues to feed until he. sells, which' is June. He has " lambs' ten weeks old, that will dress six: teen pounds- ! : .- ' KOTES ON -THE LAST K 0. OF THE COTOTBY - - GEXTLE2IAK... . ' Curing Corn-Fodder, The inquiry is over and over again repeated, how shall we cure.' corn-fodder without heat ing or moulding? -In answer 'toc the question -of W. J.Pettee, the, writer can tate that he haa.raised corn-fodder in Irills, (the best, cheapest, and cleanest way, for the past ten. years, and . has tried various ways of curing. Begin ners are often deceivcdln one 'point. They flunk tlie fodder perf ectly dry when it is ??of. Fodder sown early, so as jtq be cut before autumn, may have two or three weeks of hot weather for drying it: the leaves may be excessively crisp, ' but the stalks will be juicy inside; and this water or juice is sufficient to. spoil any stack ot stalks, when they settle .compactly together in a large - mass.- "We have'often tried placing the stalks in large shocks in the field, and leaving them there till wanted in winter. This " is safe, but is not the best' way. All the outer stalks become weather-beaten, dry, and comparatively valueless but it is much better than to let them spoil ' in stacks. If the shocks could be made quite large, and capped with rye straw, a decided improvement would doubtless be made.-.. The best way would be to use thelofts overcattle sheds', by making - the floor of .the 'loft of poles placed several inches apart, and thendeposit . ing the stalks nearly verticahVon these poles, in one- thickness, ok, as closely together as they could ,be placed. The ventilation would be ample, and green . stalks, or those cut late in autumn, would be safely and perfectly cured in tnntent this way. Long and cheap sheds, made for this purpose solely, would no doubt be 'profitable structures. - Next to this, the best way is to build small and numerous stacks, only large enough for single circular layers of bundles of fodder, placed with the tops to the center, and built up round -an empty barrel (which is drawn up by a cross-handle as the stack progresses,) thus leaving a hole in the center for a chimnev. If the stalks arc salted, and are placed sloping upwards towards the chimney hole; no injurious heating will take place. There mustj of course, be a thin straw cap placed over this hole to keep out heavy rains. The diameter pf such stacks would be six or eight feet. . ' All this may be regarded as trouble some; but it is worth some trouble to find a good way to secure a kind of food, better than hay for cows when well cured, and yielding three or four times as inuch per acrewith Very little labor in cultivation. lb. . . EAED WATER FOE "WASHING BT3TTXS. At one of the discussions held during the meeting of the New York State Agricultural, at Elmira, last fall, Hon. A. B. Dickson spoke of making butter on limestone soils, and was understood to say that the first quality, of butter could not be made m such- situations. From a "late' communication in the Country Gentleman it appears that his position is modified or defined to this effect: "that' no first quality of butter could be made on limestone land, when the water was hard with which the but ter was washed.' This, of course, very much alters the case. That the washing of butter in lime-water injures the flavor and keeping '.qualities of butter is well, known. Even the use' of limestone or marble tables for working butter has been given up, because it was found that the acid of the butter milk decomposed the stone, which being incorporated with the butter deteriora ted i.s quality. The bad effects of lime in salt, used either foi butter or meat, is a fact with which many are familiar. We once knew a trial made by washing a part of a lot of butter made at one churning, in hard water, and working the remainder without washing at all. The unwashed kept best. . . --' . HOW TO KEEP S2KDKED HA3IS. . Hams can . be secured and "sweetly preserved through "summer, by packing them., in cobs; first, a layer of cobs in the bottom of the cask; then hams and cobs until. you finish the whole. Be part'icular.thatthey do not come in con tact with each other.- Unbroken ebbs I would prefer, but "broken ones select ed will answer. It would be necessary to take them out once in summer, and given them'a dry rubbing. Your cask should stand upon .a bench,, in. a dry cool cellar, liaviug packed m this way, the cobs absorb the heat and air sufficient to keep them fresh and fine. It has '.been my practice, for more than ten years, to treat iny hams in this way, and I never lost one. You take them out perfectly clean, not plastered, nor ashed, nor greased;, neither is there any chaff to be swept off, when the hams are thus treated. The cak should be kept covered, and the hams need not bo" disturbed except to be rubbed off in summer. WASH DRINK FOE COWS. . ; My cow dropped her last calf .Au gust 27, 1855." At the age of four weeks it 'was taken away. She -then gave fourteen quarts of milk daily, and con tinued to do so -as -long as the warm weather lasted. . When Iput herinthe barn for the winter, I adopted the fol lowing-plan for feeding, namely; One, pint cob meal, one pint rice meal, and one quart shorts, with one half-bushel cut hay, twice a day. The quantity of milk decreased daily, till she gave but seven quarts. I had allowed her all this" time to drink from a tub .in my yard. ... . ' I concluded to adopt another method. About the middle of December, I fed her in this manner: One. pint of oil meal; one pint cob meal, one quart shorts, mixed withionvater m tnetorm of. a swill, after standing half an hour. " . . 1 .1 ! i- ,1 1 gaven to nermormug iiuuuiguir,uu and half-peck ot carrots at noon, ah the water, she" drinks is warmed, in the proportion of one quart of warm water to one pailtul ot cold.

Such persons beg their daily happiness from door to. door as beggars their daily bread, and, like them, sometimes meet with a rebuff. A mere gossip ought not to wonder if we evince signs that we are tired of him, seeing that we are indebted for the honor of his visit", solely to the. circum stance of his being tired of liimself. He sits at home until he has accumu lated an insupportable load cf ennui, and then sallies forth tp distribute it among his acquaintances. .

Workman, late of Richland township, Holmes county O., committed suicide on Sunday morning 27th ult. by hanging himself with a bridle. He had lately been elected Assessor of the township, and had given a heavy bond. ,t Fearing he was not fit for the office and to avoid the mortification of being laughed at, he rose m the morning at four o clock and went to the barn and hanged liimself. He leaves an interesting family. 1 Coolness of Wellington. It is re lated of the Duke of Wellington that he was once in great danger of being drowned.- It was bed time, when the captain of the. vessel came to him and said: "It will soon be all oyer with us!"

THE Western Corn Planter Company, having com pleted their arrangements for Manufacturing this valuable Labor-Saving Implement, now offer them to the Farmers of the West, in the full confi dence that they will at once supply a want long felt by all, for a substitute to the old laborious, slow, and expensive methods of planting with a hoe. The ob jections heretofore made to Corn Planters, are, in Wakefield's invention, entirely obviated; their sim plicity, accuracy, cheapness, and durability, will at once recommend them to all Farmers. It is carried and used a3 a cane or walking stick, requiring no de lay or additional motion or effort is adapted for planting in rocky and uneven ground, and in all kinds of soil is easily adjusted to piant at any desired depth, and to drop any required number of seees in a bill. - The method by which the seed is planted with this Planter is new, and, it is believed, possesses advan tages over every other,notonly in facility of use,but in hastening germination. The seed is forced, by pressure, obliquely from the surface of the ground to the required depth, thus insuring the immediate absorbtion of moisture, by bringing it into perfect and hard contact with the soil, under and around it, while the earth falling loosely over, cannot obstrnct the coming up and growth of the blade. The economy of using this Planter, that will more than iay for itself if only wanted to plant in a com mon garden t apparent to alL .
