Sjsfcmtlc Agriculture. . 9 Agriculture is the art cf dermm frnm the earth the most valualle criranic pro- 1 w w auctions, lie wno esercises this art seeks to obtain profit by causing to 'grow, and by using-, its animal and f vegetable productions. "The more considerable the gain derived, therefore, the better is the oojp.ci accompiisneu. ine most perfect Agriculture is, evidently, that which pro- J i duces, by the application of labor, the largest and the most permanent' profit in comparison with the means employed. Systematic Agriculture ought, then, to teach us ali the circumstances by means of which we may derive the most consid erable profit ly the practice of the art. Now there are three methods of teach ing or of learning the practice of Agri culture. " 1. As an occupation, by the manual ex ercise of it. 2. As an art. 3. As a sci ence. The skillful practice of Agriculture; as an occupation, is limited to the imita tion of certain operations, and the obser vation of events and circumstances. It is nothing more, when thus pursued, than- a simple mechanical art : for the practi cal farmer can only imitate and repeat the ordinary operations of - Agriculture, occasionally modified by times and cir cumstances ; and often,, perhaps, without considering or even knowing the motives by which he is governed. The art of Agriculture is the realiza tion of some ideal object. He who prac tices it has received from others, without considering the reasons on which it is founded, the idea or rule by which he proceeds. The skillful practice of an art consists, therefore, in the adoption of new ideas, in the study of new rules, and in judging of the fitness of their being car ried into practice. - The science of Agriculture does not lay down aoy positive rules, but it devel ops the motives by which the best possi ble method cf proceeding may t e discov ered and Fticccfuliy pursued.. In fact, the art executes some law given and re duced, but it is from science the law em anates. Science alone can be of universal util ity, embrace the whole extent of a subject and enable us to devise the best execution of it under every possible circumstance. Every positive direction is applicable on ly to some determinate case, and each case requires a special rule which science alone can supply. That system of Agri culture can only be called the most per fect which is the most reasonable for these are synonymous terms. The manual exercise and study of tte art can never be useless to the agricultu rist who wishes to elevate it to the rank of a science, and to the mental consider ation of which it is deserving. It will be advantageous to him to have experienced the labor and the energy which are nec essary, in order that he may judge of the mechanical execution of the various por tions of it. - A purely practical agriculturist is com pelled to follow the rule which has been laid down for him, although it may not be wholly applicable to the peculiar case which presents itself, lie cannot depart from it without adopting some other rule, which may, perhaps, deviate entirely from the first. This is the reason that so many agri culturists who have practiced with suc cess, in other counties, and under other circumstances,. on being removed else where, have committed very deplorable blucders. Thus, the man who has not studied the science or Agriculture can mate mue use of books, or even the best of them. He knows not how to arraDge the new ideas which they unfold, and he cannot fol io .v them in their fullest extent. All that he dares to do 13 to read those books which have the closest relation with the circumstances in which he is placed. BERKSHIRE SWINE, of unmixed brotd, from different Utters, at low r.rioc. fr snlo. WAI. J. PETTKE, LakcviUe, Conn. fall When Shall Wc Break Prairie? We answer, at anytime when the frost is out of the ground. "Ah !" but that won't do." Well, it will do every time, if you will only use the right kind of a plow, in the right way. From the time that the grass makes a vigorous growth and while it continues to grow, prairie can be the most cheaply broken up with a good sixteen inch prai rie breaker, but should not be cut more than three inches deep. At other sea sons, or when the grass is in a state of rest, use a double Michigan plow; set the top plow so that it will cut an inch deep, and the bottom plow two or two and a half inches deeper. We sowed spring Wheat on seven or eight acres of prairie, broken up about the first of March, in the Spring of 1859. with the double Michigan, and replowed in the Fall, and sowed last March.. We now have the result: 23 bushels of the first quality of Canadian Club to the acre. Our son had never sowed any grain before, and in sowing the first four acres put on less than a bushel to the acre, and on the other three we bad him sow one and a half bushels to the acre. It was all sown beautifully even and came up well, having been thoroughly put in and rolled. On the three acres it was esti mated that it turned out over thirty bush els to the acre. It should be borne in mind that on new land, spring wheat re quires thick seeding, as it will not tiller out so much as on old land, heaco the thickness of the crop on the four acres. which must have been less than twenty- four bushels per acre. Fawkes broke up four acres with his steam plow in November, with common breaking plows. Three acres of this we sowed at the fame time, putting on nearly two bushed of the seed to the acre, and giving it a most thorough har rowing. The result was a spindling growth, not worth cutting, in fact, too thin and light to cut at all. One acre was sowed to the Black Tartarian Oats, and a most vigorous grower, and the re sult of that was ten luihels of oats! We have now plowed up ail of this stubble land, and find that of the March breaking is in fine order, well rotted and friable; that done with the common break ing plow is but little rotted, full of gras3 and weeds, and required a breaking pLow to turn it over, whereas the other was re plowed the first time with a common plow without the use of a coulter. And the difference is easily explained; when the grass is growing, by turning it over, the turf or roots are wilted, not so when in a-state of rest; but iu plowing with the double Michigan - plow, the turf is cut thin and rolled up like a scroll, so that the frost and winds of winter and of spring will kill out and dry the roots; but when turned over with a common plow, the turf rest3 on the ground, and keeps the reversed turf from dying out, and the roots are preserved in all their vitality, and, ready to grow on the ap proach of warm weather. From our experience, we would rather have prairie broken with the Michigan plow in November or March, than with the Common plow in June. And we are now prepared to recommend Fall and Spring breaking; but we want it distinct ly understood that in 110 case is the break ing to be over " three or four inches at most. Because the Double Michigan plow was intcr.dc'd for a deep tiller, it does not follow ;hat it cannot be ucJ.as we have described for a very different purpose than inventor intended. At the season for early and late break ing, the laud Is usually wet, and the. work is done much easier for the team. We care not how wet, even if the water fol lows in the new cut furrows the subse quent frost will make it all right. We have been asked if this early breaking will answer for the small gram sown in the spring soon after breaking. If done in November, we think a fine crop of oats could be grown, but the chance for spring wheat would be rather uncertain. The great advantage of this new order of breaking, is to do it at a season of com parative leisure, and when the weather is cool and the team capable of doing a large day's work certainly better than in the heat of July, under a glowing sun. We hope our readers will give the subject their earnest attention, and prove its truth or falsity. Cor. of Prairie Far mer. Valuable Fleeces. A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer sends the following in regard o the value of fleeces of wool clipped in Ohio county Virginia: 'Mr. P. Pearson bought in 1S56, sixty-six Saxon ewes, from a flock that av eraged about two and 1-3 pounds, wash ed wool per head ; these ewes were bred three years to a Silesian buck, bought of J. E. Sission. This year, Mr. P. shear ed from 175 sheep, 1, 2, and 3 years old, from this cross, 625 pDundsof well wash ed wool, an average of three and six tenths pounds per head, and sold at CO cen.3 per pound, making 82 17 per fleece, showing an increase of one and a fourth pounds by one cros3 with the Sile sian. J. E. Sisson, shared 500 head, mostly Silesian and crosses, which clipped 1,725 pounds clean wool, being nearly four pounds per head, and brought 2 17 per fleece. This flock contains 7 bucks, 32 two year-old wethers, the other breed ing ewes and yearlings. In this flock are 40 pure Silesians, whose fleeces av eraged 5 pounds of clean wool. Mr. S. raised 206 larnbs. His flock numbered at the last time of shearing twenty sheep more than at the previous one ; the sales of sheep and wool amounted to $2,000 Sheep Raising in Texas. A great deal has" been written about sheep raising in Texas. I send you the results of my. last year's work in this line, which, although not as flattering as figures made heforehand, is more to be relied upon. I will premise that the flock were grade merinos and light shearing, yielding not quite three to five pounds per t ... - . a a head had they been full blood the prof it would have been greater. The valua tion of the sheep might seem high to some of your readers, but will not to those who have driven sheep from Illi nois and Ohio to Texas, and have sold them at the rates given: DB. 285 Ewes, 108 Lambs, 7 Bucks, at 525 Keeping one year, Shearing, &c, at S5 81,065 175 200 25 Total, CR. By 1335 lbs wood at 25 cts 2S0 Lambs at S3 50 82,365 343 75 080 00 Total S 1,3 13 75 From this SI80 should be deducted for 37 sheep that died, leaving 81,128 75, jrivinr an interest an the investment and expenses for one year, uf -17 per tent. I think your readers will conclude, with me, that sheep raising in Texas will pay if managed with judgm'ent. - Cur. of CiiocK journal. From tbe Prairie Farmer. Protection or Cattle In Winter. Farmers shiver at the bare thought of the wild animals cf our prairies lying out durtng those intensely cold nights, with the thermometer sinking, and al ready far below zero. The rabbit, the wolf, and the prairie chicken even.shart in our liberal sympathies, while our less fully naturally clad dotnesiic animals, can drop down anywhere by the strnw stack and none too wtdi filled up at that, without sympathy.. The herds of the farmer represent the increase of a portion of his capital, and the time and care which he takes of them quite clearly indicates his intelligence and adaptation to business. That farmer who winters an animal constantly lessening in flesh, that he may realize its growth dur ing six months of the year, is like the man who would not let his boy go to school when he wat young, fearing that he would have noihing to learn when he be came a man and went to college ; or he is like a capitalist, willing to have his mo ney decreased in amount one-fourth the time, for want of care, because it brings a remunerating profit the balance. The growing of stock in Illinois is highly profitable, whether for home or distant markets, but.the subject of protec tion from cold is one upon which we are very, very negligent. I dare not give my opinion as to the fraction of domestic ani mals sheltered and cared for, as they should be in Illinois and other western States and Territories. The almost uni versal excuse given is want of lumber;! the real cause is the want -of desire, or! will, for "where there is a will there is a way."' ' Hovels construct J ( . v rie haywith stone or straw; sides, arc to be had for a small expense almost everywhere. Shel ter is the great object, no matter if it is 'neath an humble roof, shelter from the pelting storms, the relentless winds, and mitigation of the effects of carbon con suming cold. Oh, ye who care for the herds of pri riedom ! Where sleeps your conscience ? Which forces creatures capable of mani festing affection as well as returning profit, to winter with no protection ex cept the lee of an ill-shaped straw pile. Shiver you selfish bipeds around your war ming fire, when you feel the waring blast shaking your cabin and the frost biting your nasal extremity, over the unsympa- thysing and frozen recesses of your own heart. Look to it, that your own stock is cared for those calves, those young steers, and heifers, and cows protect and feed them. Mules s. Horses. The prom'ment reasons for using mules in teaming and farm labor in preference to horses, are briefly explained by a cor respondent of the Genesee Farmer: They live to a much greater age ; a mule has scarcely attained his natural strength at twelve years, an age in which horses have commenced rapid deterior ation in value and usefulness: the aver age life of the mule is about thirty years, but often at forty they are known to per form efficiently the most laborious servi ces. A team of of mules will accomplish al most the labor of horses with the consum tion of one third less provinder. Within the last few years mules have been ex tensively introduced into the teaming op. erations of the manufacturing district in which I reside, and are universally con sidered here more efficient and economi cal than horses. Mules are subject to but few diseases that prevail among horses. Their hard skin and soft hair render them less liable to be galled by the harness or affected by cutaneous diseases. They are said never to be infested by vermin. The vision of the mule is much more quick and distinct than that of the horse, and, therefore they are less lia ble to shy or become frightened. They are sure-footed to a proverb. The mule excels the horse and emulates the ox in his steady and uniform efforts in labor. It is objected to mules, that besides their disagreeable braying they are obstinate and slow, but these defects, I believe may be overcome by gentleness and practice. The breeding of these animals is a subject worthy of serious and considerate reflection of every farmer. It is evident to my mind that mules may be bred with less care and expense than horses, and they will command a price nearly equal to that of an ordinary horse, while the demand for them is prompt and continu ally increasing. Keeping Uorses'Fcet In Order. If I were asked to account for my hor sest legs and feet being in better order than those cf my neighbor, I should at tribute it to the four following circum stances: First, that they are all shod with few nails, so placed in the shoe as to per mit the foot to expand every time they move ; second, that they all live in boxes instead of stalls, and can move wherever they please; third, that they have two hours daily walking exercise when they are not at work ; and fourth that I have not a hand-stall or track-chain in my stall. These four circumstances comprehend the whole mystery of keeping horses' legs fine, and their feet in good working con dition up to a good old age. t To drive away ants put leaves cf sweet elder where the ants come, and they will soon disappear.

Farm yard manure, when applied in sufficient quantity, is the best inanun? which can be employed alone, inani:ch as it contains all the elements requiredto nourish every kind of cultivated plant. 2. A mixturo of farnvyard manure and superphosphate of lime or ptiano, formed the best fertilizer that could be employed fcr every kind of crop, but more especial ly turnips, and rcot crops generally: The farm-yard manure supplies all the ele ments of the food and plants, and by its decay in the soil causes the latter to have a higher temperature than it would have if manured with guano or super-phohate of lime alone. The artificial manure was a valuable auxilary to the naturti!; it con tributed one, and sometimes two, and three ingredients of the food of plants; but it was especially useful aj a means cf forcing the young plants cut cf reash cf the fly. 3. Whilst Peruvian guano, in combin ation with super-phosphates of lime, or farm-yard manure, was a' most valuable adjunct, yet its continued use, per se, would be attended with injurious resulti, and for the following reason: Peruvian gu-mo contained a verylargs proportion of ammonbele matter in rela tion to the amount of pho?phste of lime found in it. This ammoniacal matter ac ted as a solvent upon certain constituents of the soil, and rendered them available for the purpose cf vegetable nuitrition much sooner than would be the case if no tributed. itself, to the food of plants,, but enabled the plants to draw (so to speak) in advance upon the resources cf the soil, which, if they did not exist in creat abun dance, would speedily be exhi3ted under the slimulatim influence ot the uano. In limine the effects of tho prolonged use of Peruvian guano may justly be com pared to those produced by the adoption of the Tullian or Lois-Weedon system of tillage. In both cases the soil will roon- er or later be exhausted of its store cf fer tilizing matters. 4ih. Phosphate manures, such as super phosphate of lime, and even such asphes-pho-Peruvian guano, which contained a moderate proportion of nitrogenous mat ters, exerted but little solvent action upon the fertilizing constituents of the soil. The effects, therefore, which much man ures were observed to produce in the de velopement of plants, might be attributed solely to the nutriment afforded by these manures, and not to the intervention be tween the plant and the soil He reccommended the empolyment of the natural and artificial manures in con junction, and stated that the results of his own observation led him to reccommend a mixture of two parts of suner-nhosrhate . - a of lime and one of Peruvian guano, in preference to the use of guano alone; and this mixture might with advantage be em ployed for every variety cf crop. Scien tific American. To Destroy Insects in Grain. Grain i3 sometimes subject to depreda tions from the flying wevil or grey moth which develops and mature in the heart, of the grain, and which imparts consid ereble heat to the bulk of the grain. The heat is equal to or above blood heat. Grain infested with this insect is easily detected on thrusting the hand into body of the grain, by means of the heat of the mass. Another insect is sometimes found m the granaries and in the mills that depredate on the stored grain. In France large quantities of grain are stored up against the time of scarci ty, and in order to protect it from depre dations of insects that 1 pray upon it com missioners have been appointed to exam ine into the means of destroying them, who have reported that a small quantity of chloroform or sulphuretted carbon put into the interior of the grain pit (which 13 usually in the ground, and when her metrically sealed up, will destrty all the pest3. About 75 grains of Sulphuret of carbon are sufficient fos about four bush elc of the grain. Grain put up in rail pen3, as 13 the custom in the West, may be treated with equal success with this agent by covering the heap with a tar paulin or close woven cloth. The "jupon multiple" is the name of the latest invented Paris petticoat. It does away with hoops and crinoline; "supporting itself by the harmonious and inteligent disposition cf the waves cf muslin of which it is composed." It can be modified' or increased at pleaiure. Several nice young gentlemen went to the residence of damsel to give her a ser enade. After ome time the servant stepped out, and walking up to the harpist exclaimed: "My friend, the folks are all abed; you cant get a cent here to-night!" It is stated that a French savant and travder of reputation denies altogether that the remains discovered by Mr, La yard and now in the British Museum have, any thing to do with Ninever. His p roof will be looked for. To destroy Pin Worms in! ones, mix a gill of clean wood ashes with cut feed, and give the horse every other day cce feed for a week, and watch the re?ult. If you observe small white streaks about the anus, continue the doses a week longer.
