Best Mode or Caring Hay. : x Messes Editoes I notice that a con troversy still goes oa respecting- the time of cutting and manner of curing liay, es pecially timo.hy. I" now intend giving my views at length, as it lias been.my study for half, rnylifetime, tacut and cure tt th!.11nfc'i&d ia tbe rudtiner rhost patat r:1,1 t i,"ir?V- ; 'I t;'r ''uJiO.idne ir:u.: iiai,.i,vi." ' i'bc.iei'il iio:lc2 .oi tood kind " Jt isnutnnve; vnle-i-s It Las a good flavor or smell;, therefore 'i; is important, both lor our own interests and for the conifort of the dumb animals under our care, that we should have their winter food prepared in the test manner possille to retain a good flayor. I will state my reasons for this opinion : I was informed long ago, by one whom I supposed knew, that to make the tobacco plant a narcotic, it had to be gathered at a certain time, and cured in a peculiar manner. If not gath ered and so cured, it would be insipid, or loose its narcotic quality, and would-not be used by man ; and that beautiful flow er, the fox-glove, required to be rather cd at a certain stage of its growth, and cured in a very peculiar manner, being dried in the dark, and then called Digi talis, a powerful medicine for both "rnar and beast.""-So it h with oiher ' medicinal flowers' and 'herbs; they need a1 certain treatment, boUi in. the time' of gathering and curincr; -ctherwise they are worthless.' Such reading led me to try. and if possi ble, find the best manner of curing hdy; and I doubt not, had hay been made for man, that for cenuies before- the 19th, it would have been a settled point by man, or good housewives, as to which is the best tir.ic cf cutting and curing it, to an swer our tastes. I will mw give my time of cutting, and also manner of curing when cut by scythes, asuho the manner which I think indispensable when cut by machines. As to the time of cutting, I know that every farmer will, agree with me, that nothing they ever fed to cattle, that are fairly fed during the 'winter, will put on as much fat or increase their weight near as much in a given time, as rich pasture. Therefore I argue that grass should be mi fut hay, and nutlet it Mand until it becomes dried hay before it is cut. If 1 could cut all my hay in a day or two or a little longer, I would let timothy stand un til the seed was formed, but still quite soft, but as that cannot be accomplished in the time mentioned, I begin when in full Gower. Yhen cut with the scythe, and the grass heavy, I did all the curing in the swath. Grass will stand a good deal cf rain, if left in the swath, without injary, when cut "-rcen. When I intend to stake-it in, if not thoroughly dry cx.the lower si Je, if wet from ram I turn the swaths over De fore rckinc, if eyerr 5&mrrwLat green on the underside of, the swath; but if no rain ha s fallen, 1 raked it tip and took it into the tarns. In that way it took a sweat, if a heavy crop, in the swath, and another swetit in the mow; and I hold it i;di.-pcn -alle that hay, for cither sheep or cattle, should have a sweat and it is equal ly requisite as that tobacco or fox-glove should have their peculiar modes of cur ing and time of cutting. If ah'ght crop, cut with scyihe, as soon as a little wilted, I raked up, put in good sized or rather large cocks, let it take a good sweat in the cocks, and let them alone until dry enough to take in. Timothy hay cut green and cocked in a green state, will stand much rain without much injury if let alone. In this way I always made fine flavored hay, and my stock always did well upon it. I Jut since we all around here cut our grass wi'.h machines drawn by horses, the mode of curing mutt be somewhat dif ferent t-jaiake fine flavored nutritive hay. Th? nnet.uie cuts r.nd spreads it as even ly as it grows vii ihe ground; therefore it f ..u , .. 1,l.,..'tT li on rut ' -' UrieS lll 'Ltl I11UI C Iimuiuij n.uu ij, Y--r - , scythes- and the horserake out to be started in a few hours more or fewer, accord in to the temperature after the ma chme is started, and the grass put in ccek, and not left until the machine has done a day's work, and until the dew goes oil next morning. If a high tem perature, your hay will then be so dry that it will take no sweat; hence no fla vor, and much less nutriment. The trou 1 le with those who make a trial of cut ting green, is that they dry it so much in the hot sun that it cannot sweat in either cock or mew. I have seen stacks of hay in many places, the hay having been put up so dry, that if my arm had been long enough I could have put my hand through them i.nd that after they had stood for months, and the hay had no more flavor, except the little ripe seed left on, than brush from a ceaa tree, l want to see no stacks or hay mows put up for me but will in a week or ten days become so sol id that it is with difficulty yon can push your hand into them one foot. Now, Messrs. Editors, I have given you, as lucidly as I can, my views and reasons for deviating from the rules laid down by far more learned men, as to thp time for cutting and manner of curing timothy hay, and indeed all other kinds of hay I havo had any experience with in this hot climate. Yet I have no doubt but some of those men, possessed of good talents, will criticix. auy mode not a lit tle, but all I ask is, that my brother work ing farmers will prove me and try me, and see whether I know anything of the true principlss of making and time cf cutting hay. Let them follow my plan strictly, ami :hen either approve or con- demn it, according as tiey find it. , As haying will be in less' taan two months, I should be pleased if 500 farmers in the State of; New York, would give my plan a trial and report. ' . It is high time, in this age of enter prise in the world, that the true time and method of cutting .and coring hay was known, so as to malce'it most pleasanMo thd taste of the dumb' brutes, and most rrofitail to- the owner.- r-'F '" - -. : - vJOH:r JOHNSTON:'-; ii.- is- -' - .... .. - r-0ja the J-uruAi tii 'Agriculture. Cnxacrcntal Ileuses Screens. , Western people seem to have a. grow ing passion for ornamental hedges, and the question is frequently asked, what plants will make the most satisfactory hedge or screen ? The two most popular plants for the purpose seem to be the American Arbor Vita? and the Privet or Prim both good, and yet we seldom see a satisfactory hedge of either; nor do we consider them exactly suited to our soils or climate. The American Arbor Vita) does not keep its green in winter, and if it did it would never make a hedge at all comparable with the Norway Spjuce or Siberian Arbor Vita;, which make the most elegant evenrreen hedges iinajnna- Me. I he Norway bpruce can be had at, very low rates cy tne quantity, ana iney s bcar.rcmoval admirably, will flourish?; almost any soil, and never present the dingy barren appearence so objectionable in the-American Arbor Vita:. They are' patient of the -shears and can bo easily kept in bounds. But perhaps there is no evergreen that would make a more ele gant and durable, and easily kept hedge than the Siberian Arbor Vita;. It is open to but one objection, its slow growth, But one always has to wait a few years to get a hedge up just right ; so as long'as you must wait it is better for you to wait a little longer for something that is certain to be perfect in the end. Fur ther to the south, where the "winters are milder, very satisfactory evergreen hedges may be grown from the Chinese and American Arbor Vitcc, and from the the Red Cedar the latter we believe, would, if properly trained, make hedge that would turn stock, for the leaves of the Red Cedar are almost equal to thorns for stiffness and sharpness. The Hem lock would no doubt, make'a beautiful ev ergreen hedge, but, unfortunately, it is ditiicult to remove, and only thrives in particular situations. For a low ever green hedge, (he Mahonia will' perhaps answer, still we fear that its foliage would always be more or less scorched each winter. For the latitude of Chicago, there are tut two trees that will ever make satisfactory evergreenhedges, and i out one mat is orstuiv,-iy TapKi grow-in i obeccihe universally.'. popular. .The two are the Norway Spruce and the -Siberian Arbor Vitar, the one is the first named. We have been thus bold in stating our convictions, because long experience has convinced us that we are mainly correct in our estimate of the value of the va rious evergreens" for "hedging purposes. The qtiestien is really an important and interesting one, and we hope that our hasty remarks will, at least, provoke a discussion of the subject, and tend to draw out the experience of a few of the many persons who have made this matter of ornamental hedging a sort of hobby. In our next paper, -we will give our opinion in relation to the deciduous shrubs and dwarf trees best adapted for ornamental hedges and screens. Mean while, ladies and gentlemen, let us hear from you, for we too are" axious to learn, and can assure you that any new light on the subject will be gratefully appreciated by a goodly number of those who read our journal. From the Country Ccntleaian. Remedy for the Curculio. Messrs Editors Allow me to give, for the benefit of your readers, what I consider a certain remedy for the curcul io. after having tried it succesftilly for a few years. It Dimply wn" u remov- j ing the soil to the depth of five or six inches, and as far out as the branches ex tend, and replacing it with other soil. It ' should be done early eay as soon as the blossoms fali. The remedy is based upon the suppo sition that the larva of the insects remain during the winter in the ground, upon which the punctured fruit falls the year previous, and that by removing them with the soil, and scattering i: about a little, in advance of the time thej annually hatch, that the heat of the sun will kill them, if they escape the chickens which they will not be apt to do if the soil is scattered in the poultry-yard or thrpn into the pig pen. - Another reason for t'ainking that this remedy will be successful, is, that I be lieve that the curculio does not ' migrate during the season of depositing its eggs; and I see, by a commurication from .Mr. Mathews to the Hortictrturist that he is of the same opinion, one I am' of opinion that his remedy, be it what it may, is based upon this belief; far in the commu nication above referred to, he says that I was mistaken in supposhg that I had de- stroved the insects by scattering them about, and that he woull as soon think of destroying a wheelbarrow load of young tortoises whose shells lad become hard ened, in the same way I agree . with him that the "Turk" has a pretty, hard shell as a perfect insect, but I do not think his shell had become hard enough to pro tect him from the heat cf the sun, or from the fowls, at the tim I dislodged him from his winter quarten. Mr. M. says r that tiey were not de? stroyed but merely removed froms their rendezvous, and that if they could fly ihey would have returned ; tut as to their be long destroyed, that matters but little. V e agree as to the mam point, that they cannot, or at' least jdo not migrate or fly from tree to tree. Of this I have proof conclusive this season upon my own trees two of which are standing in the same kir.d of soil, and both in the grass, to.one cf which I Lu . 'applied the ; .ore reme h r.ovt Ijuc'H -.?th plums, -arid them, while all on . the other are punc tured by him. ' The trees are about 50 yards apart. I hope that this may-reach you in time that some of your northern renders may give it a trial and report the result thro' the Country Gentleroau. J. R. GARDENER. Susny Baxk, Moxt. Co. Va. How (o Extirpate tiic Apple-Tree Worm. A Dutchman in our neighborhood does this most effectually. He provides him self with a basket, ladder, and leather gloves. . He then ascends the tree, tak ing advantage of the time when the worms are all in. He moves about among the branches rolling up by hand each nest tn with its contents, and. deposits it in his tasktft; - In k few, minutes the work is tccomplished, when he descends with his freight of worm nests. Passing through an orchard in this way, he does up the business for years to come. Some or chards in our neighborhood, which had for several years in succession been de nuded of foliage, have been almost en tirely relieved by one thorough cleaning in this manner. One man can pass over a good sized orchard in a day, and the benefits conferred will bear no compari son with the trifling expense incurred. One cf the most prolific sources of the apple tree worm is the existence of a few black cherry trees scattered about the farm. The worm prefers this tree even to the apple. These trees serve as nur series for worms, where millions are an nually bred without molestation. Every such tree growing along the fences about the farm, should be cut down without re serve Co. Gentleman. Grafting the Grape Vine. We have met with many experienced persons vrho have never seen grape-vine grafting. The process is so easy, that thousands who are anxious to possess the newer varieties, should especially take core of their old roots and. insert scions of the new. No clay or covering of the Tnftrrl r.nrt i nrrpemrv. 1 PVor.d tbr ml. 'rat vpiow wh,vh iho. rni!t is to inserted. Saw ofTvnnr stock and nut lnf your scion with o or three buds, wedjre . . . . I fashion, as in the cleft grafting of fruit trees, and then cover up a few inclics, leaving one or two buds above ground ; where the stock is very large, and incon venient to split, a gimlet-hole, so made as to bring the two barks together has an swered the purpose. The sprouts of the old stocks as they spring up to rob the graft, must be broken olT. Grafts often bear some fine cl jsters the first season of their growth, and many more the second. In this way, the old stocks of wild grapes removed from the woods are very useful with due care. We have lately seen an old Catawba vino that was wanted for shade forty feet off, laid down for a year till it had rooted well, and then was graf ted with perfect success, and fruited the first season. IlorticultureJ. Cure for tlie Heaves. A correspondent of the Country Gen tleman says : I have great pleasure in staling that your prescription of sour milk, has prov ed an effectual cure for my-broken-win-ked horse. I do not know that it is a cer tain cure for this equine ill, but it has cured my horse. Did you ever hear that in certain mountain districts of Virginia and North Carolina, where the men are' the hardiest and stoutest of any in the Union, muk is never used as human food until it has become sour ? Pears. The iron filings that accumu late about a I lacksmithshop, though poi sonous to plants, is of value about hi roots of the Pear tree. It is common for gardeners to use it when they can get it to advance the growth cf the tree, and improve the flovor and size of specimen fruit. Where can you take exercise more profitably than in your own flower gar den ? You are not strong enough, do you say ? This is just the way to acquire strength. f0n Gender. Punch slanderously says: The sun is called masculine, from its supporting and sustaining the moon, and finding her the wherewiihall to shine away as she does of a night, and from his being obliged to keep such a family of Ftars. The moon is feminine, because she is constantly changing, just as a ship blown about by every wind, lne church is feminine be cause she is married to the State ; and Time is masculine, because he is trifled with by the ladies. A box of goods intended for a roer chant at Wyandotte was received at De- troit a few days ago, with the following address: Thomas Markham, Y & . Mitchigan. Hisceffaneons. A Parisian Stoy-Ettc A young soldier of four and twenty, a lieutenant ofartillery,-has just married a banker's daughter, ..with 500,000 francs f or dowry ; - Lieutenant of artillery ! Not a bad rank.

' At the Conference of.'Eufurt, during pvhic h 'Coi:jrr e , E u v;n 'tors - a nd ' Ki ngs become the simple sta!:;Ltes of Napoleon one day at the table they were speak ing of the old Germanic Confederation, and especially of the famous Golden Bull of Rome. Its date was asked. There was a moment of silence ; no one remem bered it. Napoleon spoke "1356." "What, sir!" cried a courtier king; "you know our history so well ! When has your majesty found time to study it?" "When I was Lieutenant of Artillery," said the Emperor. The words produced a singular effect among those princes, all born to thrones. Napoleon perceived it, and repeated: . "When I had the honor to be Lieuten ant of Artillery.- Well, although the grade is a nice cue, our Lieutenant of Artillery did not think it enouga to -win the heart of Auademoi- selle ' ; so he had never dreamed of aikingf it. But one day he was fallow d by an elderly gentleman, tall, thin, and blessed with a large, pointed nose. The person followed him into the Gymnase Theater, seated himself beside him aud drew him into conversation. The acquain tance was made. The long nosed man visited him at his quarters, oii'ered friend ship, and one day said : "I am interested in you have a lively friendship for you. I must have you married." "Nice proof cf friendship," said the officer, laughingly. "My dear friend there are marriages and marriages. What would you say to 500,000 francs cf dowry, "with expecta tions?" The officer ceased laughing. In brief, the long nosed man introduced him at the banker's. The officer pleased the daughter. The father shrugged his shoulders when a marriage was spoken of ; but the man of the nose gave such excellent accounts of the young soldier, covered up his wild oats, exaggerated so well his merit and his virtues; had so many resources and ingenious stratagems I at hand, that the marriage took place ! soon after The Lieutenant was astonished at such devotion, such a warmth" of friendship.

You will dome the kind "ness to pay me these acceptances, signed by you, amounting to sixty-three thousand six huudred and eighty-two francs sixty five centimes, interest and expenses in cluded. I could have cancelled the debts in about three or four thousand years. I preferred to have you married. Was it not better ?" The lieutenant came down frcm the clouds. This frier.d, benefactor, was not an angel, only j creditor! A Curious Document. Washington, as everybody knows, was very methodical; and he was particular to have matters about which a dispute miijht arise, "put into writing. Ihe article below is copied trom one ot nis "papers and is both characteristic and amusing. It is an agreement with his gardener, who, it appears, was in the habit of et ting"tight." "Articles of agreement made this 12th day of April, Anno Domini, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven, by. and between George Washington, Esq., of the Parish of Truro, in the county of Fair fax, Slate of Virginia, on the one part, and Philip Eater, Gardener, on the eth er. Witness, that the said Philip Eater, for and in consideration of the covenants hereinafter mentioned, doth promise and agree to serve the said George Washing ton for the term of one year as Garden er, and that he will during the said time, conduct himself soberly, diliigently and honestly that he will -faithfully and in dustriously perform all and every part of his duty as a Gardener, to the best of hi? knowledge and abilities, and that he will not at any time, suffer himself to be dis guised with liquor, except on limes here inafter mentioned. "In consideration of these things being well and truly performed on the part of the said Philip Bater, the said George Washington doth agree to allow him, the said Philip, the same kind and quality of provisions as he has heretofore had, and likewise annually, a decent suit of clothes befitting a man in his station; to consist of coat, vest and breeches; a working jacket and breeches of homespun besides; two white shirts, three check do; two lin- ra pocket handkerchiefs, two pair of lin en overhalls; as many pair ql shoes as are necessary for him; four dollars at Christmas, with which he may drink four days and four nights; two 'dollars tU Whitsuntide, to be drunk two daysf & dram in the morning, and a drink, of grog at dinner. "For the true and faithful performance of all and each part of these things, the parties have hereunto set their hand this twenty-third day of April, Anna Domini, 17S7. t Philip Bateii, his X mart, Witness: Geokce WAsniiroToir. Gxokce Washington, Tobias Lear. a temperance address. la this connection it may be well to adj a letter from Washington to one of his overseers. The "Temperance Cause. has such, had not been heard of in the days of Washington; he was a "moder ate drinker," but he was "down on" in temperance. Here is the way he talks to his overseer: "I shall not close this letter without ex horting you to refrain from spirituous liquors ; they will prove your ruin if you do not. Consider how little a drunken man differs from a beast; the latter is not endowed with reason, the former deprives himself of it; and when that is the case, acts like a brute, annoying and disturhlo every one around him; nor is this all, nor, as u respects himself, the worst of it. By degrees it renders a person feeble, and not only unable to serve others, but to help himself; and being an act of his own, he falls from a state of usefulness into contempt, and at length suffers, if not perishes, in penury and want. "Don't let this be your case. Show yourself more of a man and a Christian than to yield to so intolerable a vice, which cannot, I am certain, (to the greatest lov er of liquor,) give me more pleasure to sip in the poison, for it is no better, than the consequence of it in bad behavior at the moment, and the more serious evils produced by it afterwards, must give pain, I am your friend.
