The farmer's garden is too often left to the care of women and children, and if any work 13 required to be done in it by stronger hands then theirs it is too often put off' from time to time, with the exclamation, "Oh, we are all so busy now we can't be bothered with the garden." Or if the labor is given at the pemand of some petticoated tyrant, or to please some dearly loved wife or sister, it is perhaps grudgingly bestowed, and some inexperienced .man or stable-boy sent to perforin the unenuied task. So great, in our opinion, is the value of a garden well stocked wite vegetables of every kind, that if too busy to attend to it ourselves, we should not hesitate to employ an experienced hand, even at a a considerable expense, to put it in prop er order every spring, after which the care of the garden and cultivation of the plants in it would beenme a source of pleasure as well as profit. If there are some "big boys" in the family, it is a good policy to consign the care or the garden entirely IZ .hPm an as an inducement to attend well to it, pur chase for them a good stock of garden tools, seeds, and one or two good practi cal works on horticulture, and allow him him to sell the surplus vegetables, not re quired for family use. What is the mere value of money in comparison to having health, and enjoy ing the comforts of civilized life, towards which nothing conduces more than hav ing the table plentifully supplyed with wholesome vegetales, both summer and winter. The farmer's kitchen garden is too of ten a dirty little spot somewhere out of sight at the back of the house, where all the slops are thrown, the clothes hun? out to dry on the few currant bushes growing there, the fowls allowed to scratch for a living in Summer, and the hogs to root in nuturrtn nd winter. What Trmder then if it 1 . - v r : i !"- '' r y r-.j;; r.d for nil ' i an tyci're to the I, 10 Kit, are reseved for this purpose, should pos sess csrtairt points indicative of future ex- j cellence ; viz.: a weli shaped head, small ears, short, thick neck, deep brisket, and broad chest and shoulders, fine bone, long body, well rounded behind the shoulders, stright back, wide loins, full quarters, tail thm and tapering, soft skiu, and not too thin. ' ' ' i - It is often the case, that animals are selected for rearing from thoir boicg cf a pretty'color that takes the fancy of some member of the family; or the calf cf some pet of the dairy-maid without attention being paid to its defects or ex cellencies. Not unfrequently, valuable calves are fattened for veal, simply be cause their color was unpleasing to the eye Sovthern Homestead. f ir I or: it up .t .. :.ce, sr. ; ; - ; down to Tt.:& i:.an to allow it to remalifthus.' " Others, again, writh every disposition to do justice to their garden, yet turn it into an orchard, by filling it with fruit trees, which are well enough while younj and small, but when they crow into good ly proportions of maturity they shade the ground so much that any attempt to grow vegetables under th in ends in failure from the want of liaht and air ; the em bryo horticulturist becomes discouraged and gives up gardening in despair. But there are some, and we hope nu merous excepiious to the picture w? have just drawn.. Wehavj seen farmer's gar dens that it was a real pleasure to viit and look over, where every vegetable the climate would admit of, grew m abun dance and where the useful and orna mental were so well combined that the eye could detect no fault. Surrounded by close board fence neatly painted or whitewashed, and trained witn vines on the sunniest ides ; the walks nicely grav- elledthe soil well cultivated, the beds all kept neat and clean, and n )t a weed al lowed to blossom, nor when rooted out to block up the paths, but when removed at dnce to the rubbish heap in the wood or stable yard. In horticultural matters let l . J .... U 11 .J ..I ... I I wnat IS uone v: wen uuntr, ur tnat: leuie gardening alone. It is of imp mnce that the soil of a garden should be rich. deep, and well drained if not naturally so, no paines should be spared to make it so. It i? not advisable to do any Work id the garden till the frost is entirely out, and the soi becomes dry, unless it is to construct a hot-bed oi two, or wheel ma nure on the ground, to be ready for spad in? at the proper time, which may be done while the ground is frozen, though if spread over the surface Aen, it is apt to retard the thawing of the ground. No manure but what is well rotted or com poste 1 should ever be use in a garden. Another important consideration is that a - rotatton of crops should be followed in the garden as well as the field, and no an nual allowed to grow two years in suc cession on the same spot. Pea-Nuts- "The pea-nuts may be sown in Vir ginia and more south from April to May, and more north or west one month later; it is necessary to have the ground plow ed, and drills are made one foot broad and the hills six inches high, all parallel It is on the tops of those hills that the pea-nut seeds are put from one to two inches deep and from six to eight inches apart. When the plants begin to grew they are hoed and hilled, this operation is rentw.'d when the seed is formed, and would be injurious in the time of tlos 'omin"; ihe ground must be kept clear of weeds. A light and moist soil 13 ths best adap ted for the peanut, and their capsules tannot be introduced in clayey soil, and would give but little produce in a dry and sandy soil. In Spain, following Don Ucloa. the ordinary cultivation gives 100 lor one, and a careful cultivation 200 and 300. The drying of the leaves indicate the maturity cf the seed, and ho says that in Spain the seeds produce nearly the half of oil, and the remainder of the substance (mare,) taken from the press is generally used for half or two-thirds inthe manufacture of the Chocolate, and the oil is very much employed in the composition cf soap." Nebraska soil is most admirably adap ted to the cultivation of the pea-nut. Mr. Alexander Sseen, of Net:..:: i.c:-.:jt -aUtd, aud had on exhiliiion, sc;ii3 .ry Line specimens, at the county fair.

Julius Cesar's letter, "I came. I saw, I conquer ed," has been admired for nearly two thousand years for its terseness. We think it rather verbose. ' The words "I saw," are entirely superfluous. Indeed, we think "I came," wholly unnecessary. "I conquered,'" would tell the whole story. But Julius had, no doubt, a good deal of leisure when he wrote that letter, and his style suffered in consequence.

Use judgment in selecting such heifer calves as are to be reared. Select only those whose mothers are good milkers, and whose sires' have come from good milking stock ; at the same time, the calf itself shoul have those character istico that indicate an aptitude to develope good milking qualities, viz; small, fine head, rather long .in the muzzle,, bright eyes, thin, tapering neck, small, well-shaped legs, long body, larg hind-quarters, set wide behind, soft skin, fine hair the col or of which is immaterial and above all. the milk mirror, or udder veins should be large and well developed.

Ill j rn witn. it woum te no loss to tne country were the numerous specimens cf scrub bulls, too often seen, condemned to perpetual exile. j But there is no reason why a portion of th mule calves should not be reared as bullocks either for the team or for the butcher ; and it is important that such &i Setting Fence Posts. We have, all our lives, heard that fence posts, when set in the ground, should be inverted from their growing position; that is. that the but end should be up and the other down. The suggestion is bas ed upon the apparently plausible theory that, being set in their natural position, water is more readily absorbed into the sap vessels and decay hastend. We do not know what the theory is worth, but it is little trouble to invert the posts, and it is very well to give it at least a trial. Old as the notion is, we do not know of any experimental test of it3 value. The following, communicated to the Gennessee Farmer ii the nearest approach to it. "About thirty years ago, I, to test the thing, split two bar posts, side by side, out of a chestnut log. They were eight feet long, eight inches wide, and three thick. One I sat but down, the other, top down. At the end of ten years, - the one set in but down was rotted off, and I re-set it in the same hole. At the end of six years it was rotted off again, and I put in a new one. The other lasted four years longer, when it got split in two, and I took it out and it was about two thirds rotted off. Sixteen years ago, I set six pairs of bar posts, all split out of the but cut of a large white oak log. One pair I sal buts dewn. another pair one 1 but down, the other top down, the others top down. Four years ago, those set but down were foiled off, and had to be replaced by new ones. This Summer I had occasion to re-set those that were set top down. I found them all sound enough to re-set. My experiments con vinced me that the best way is to set them tops down. The Study of Flowers.

We have not only an endless variety before our eyes, but are continually struck with the purpose and foresight displayed ;u apparently trifling peculiarities. We are always learning something new ; and the knowl edge, we thus acquire is such as calls forth our admiration and gratitude; and while it gives that conscious power which all acknowledge, more cr less, it be stows, awakens a sense of humility, by a comparison, which cannot fail to occur to us. between our own powers and the simplest works cf "Nature.
