M . LOSQ. SoIIlns Stock. A correspondent ot the Dollar. JVcvcs- paper, Philadelphia, gives the following as nis evioence in relation to tne question which is so often asked, will soiling pay !" As many people doubt the profitableness of soiling for slock, allow me . to make them acquainted with a case that came under my own observation. Five years ago my attention was directed to a field which bad been cropped for many years, and which would require liberal manuring - w to secure any crop, ine owner tor jne succeeding three years expended nearly fifty dollars per year on one and one fourth acres in subsoiling and trenching, in the meantime manuring very freely and receiving an ample return in roots and corn for the manure and labor, sepa rate from the fifty dollars before mention ed. Having brought the field to a proper state of culti7ation, it was last year seed ed down to clover and timothy. The success of the high culture was so com plete that on the first day oy May, the present year, the owner commenced cut ting on each morning a quantity sufficient for eight cows and one horse. The cows were confined in stables except two or three hours each afternoon,' when they were allowed to run in a large yard. Each morning a load of grass and clover sufficient for the day was cut and taken to the barn, the time ocupied by man and horse being a little less than ne . hour each morning. This course was contin ued until June 12th, when two of the cows was disposed of, and the one and one fourth acres continued to yield an ample sufficiency for the remaining- six co.vs and horse until August 1st, when there was still a lartre amount of growing clover. The plan of the owner bing to allow the" remaining growth to decay upon the ground, and the cows having averaged tn quarts each of milk per day, whtch has been sold at two and a half cents per quart. Theaccount of the field may be rendered thus: PIELT), PS. To interest on first va'.tte of acres at $100 per acre . . . . .'$7.50 To interest on cost of subsoiling and ing. 150 .dollars . ... 900 To interest on exhausting of previous manuring, say .... 10 00 23 50 c. By milk, 6.3S0 quarts at'2 ctl. per quart . $159 50 Butter from Sunday morning mi'ik unsold, estimated at 30 lbs at 25c. 7 50 To dairy rui!k and cream forfamily of six persons, estimated . . 6 00 $173 00 128 50 Balance $ 46 50 As comp nsation for labor and use cf the cows for the three months, besides the keeping of on horse for three months It is but justice to the field to say' that the cows were purchased without a knowl edge of their milking qualities, and of course would not nearly equal a like num ber that have been carefully rai&ed or selected by a farmer. By a sale of the milk at three cents per quart, the profit is increased to 178,40. It will be seen that over two years of food for one cow was produced on the one aud and-fourta acres. The keeping of the cows is con tinued throughthe fall on corn sowed broadcast, hay, early roots, &c, and in he winter, cut straw and stalks with grouud oats and corn, and a daily allow ance of hay and roots, the plan of the owner being to keep as many head of cat tle per yarashe has acres of ground, by a proper portion in clnver, grass.cornais and roois; ana an in nign cultivation. Mr. Joseph Quincy, of Massachusetts, writes as follows on this subject : "Mv farm being compact, the annoy ance or having fifteen or twenty head of catile driven night and morning to and from the pasture ; the loss of time in of ten turning the team and plow, owing to the number of interior fences, and the loss of surface of good land, capable of being plowed, owing to them and the many head lands, all drew my attention to the subject of 'soiling' and its effects. I found that the European writers maintained that six distinct advantages were to be obtained by the practice of 'soiling' over that of pastureing cattle in the summer season : . 1. It saved land. 2. It saves fences. 3. It economised food. 4. It keeps cattle in better condition and greater comfort. 5. It produced more milk. 6. It increased the quantity and qual ity of manure. Satisfied in my own mind of the beni ficial effects of the practice, I adopted it in the ytar 1814, and adhered to it until 1S22, keeping from fifteen to twenty head of milch cows, with some ether stock, and with entire tatisfectory success. From that time, being occupied in varieus pub lic offices, in Boston and vicinity, I. exer cised no superintendence over my farm for twenty years. Resuming its management in 1847, I returned to the practice of soiling. Since then. I have kept from thirty to thirty five head of milch cows in this way ; so that, in my mind my experience is con clusive on the subject. Tojpioduce a sufficient quantity and succession tf succulent food about one and a half or two square rods of ground to each cow to be soiled sow as fellows: As early in April as the state of the land will permit, which is usually be tween the 5th and 10th, on properly prepared land, oats at the rate of four bushels to acre. i About the 20th of the same month, soe either oat3 or barley, at the same raw per acre, iri like quantity and proportions Early in May, sow, in like dinner, ei ther cf the r.l ove grains. Between the 10th and 20th cf May, sow Indian corn (Southern Dent being best,) in drills, three bushels to the acre, in like quanty and proportions. About the 2oth of May, row corn in like manner and proportions. About the 5th of June, repeat the sow ing of corn as above. After the last mentioned sowing, bar ley should be sown in the above mention ed quantity and proportions, in the follow ing successions on the 15th and 25ih of June, and in' the first week in July, tar ley being the best qualified to resist the early frosts. These various provissions for a variety of crops will suply food something in the following order, viz: "The oats sown early in April will be ready to cut for soiling between the 1st and 15ih of July, and will usually remain succulent until about the middle of the month. Those sown about the 20th of April will be ready to cut the 15th and 20th of July, and will last nearly or quite till the 1st of August. . Those sown early in May will be ready to succeed the preceediug, and will last till near the middle of August. The corn sown on the lUth and 25th of May and early in June will supply, in succession, excellent food till early in September. The barley sown in July will continue a sufficient suply of good feed until the first of November, when, as sometimes before, the tops of roots 83 carrots, beets and turnips, with cabbage are a tever failing resource. Reduced to a single statement, my ex perience and system is, for the support of my soiled stock during the months of July, August and September, to sow in the months of April, May, June and July, equal to three-Quarters of an acre for each head of cattle to be soiled, in such order as will give a regular succession cf sucu lent food during the three first mentioned months. For their support frcm the 20th of May and during the month of June, I reserve early clover and other grass at the rate of one-quarter of an acre for each head of cattle soiled. For their support from the 20th. of October, I depend upon the second growth of the half acre cut over in May and June and the second growth of oats and corn cut over in July. It now remains to show the cost of rais ing, cutting and distributing the food to the stock, is compensated by these savings above mentioned, Upon this point, my own experience has satisfied me that the manure alone is an ample compensation for all this expense, leaving the savings of land, of food, and of fencing stuff as clear gain from the system. A popular objection to this mode cf keeping milch cows is, that want of exer cise must effect injuriously the health of the animal. To this, European writers, some of whom have kept, in this way, large herds, reply that they "never had one sick or one die, or one miscarry, in consequence of this mode of keeping." After more than ten years' persuing of this practice, my experience justifies me in uniting my testimony to theirs on this point." ' Overtasking Pupils In School B. VV. Dwight. principal of a high school in western New York, has written a book' upon "The Higher Christian Edu cation." He regards physical health as a duty, and informs us "that the educa tion of a Greek youth consisted of but three parts grammar, music, and gym nastics the latter of which occupied, up to his sixteenth year, as much time as the other two combined ; and from that age to eighteen, excluding them altogether." The following extract from the report of the Dorchester (Mass.) School Com mittee, deserves the specnl attention of parents, and shows that there is peril outside as well "as inside the schools: Much is sai I at the present time of the overtasking of pupils in public, schools. The subject is an important oue. and de serves the careful attention not only of teachers and school committees, but of the community in general. That many of our boys and girls are puny in stature, pale and sickly, nervous and excitable; that they do not promise, either in them selves or in their posterity, a strong and enduring manhood or womanhood, is not to be denied ; but that overtasking them in the schools, is the cause of so much of the evil, as it is sometimes represented to be, is, to say the least, very doubtful. The schools are only a part of the organ ization of society, and they can be respon sible only fcra part of whatever good cr evil exists. No doubt teachers like to see the intellectual developments of the children entrusted to their care. To fos ter this development is one of their most important duties. If ihey did not do this they would not hold their office for a day. Tailing the scholars as a whole, very few of them, indeed, are injured solely, or even mainly, by the hard stuJy requi red of them by their teachers. Their teachers are generally mere willing to wait for that normal development of the mind which ccmes from years, tban the parents are. It is the parents, rather tLan their teachers, who are in haste.; Teachers may not be entirely guiltless ; but, if they drive, ihey are also driven. Children, especially girls, have net enough out-of-doors exercise. The habits of society are in fault. The modes of dress are in fault. ChilJren should hart free play of boJy and limbs, so as to bt able to run, jump, drive hoop, see saw, &c, without restraint; tut this, tha fashionable modes of dress will not easily allow. The fatricsare too nice to allow of violent or prolonged exercise. A fev? of the rich may dress their daughters ia silk and muslins, and when they are "torn oros iled by out-door play, they may re place them by new ones; tut .ly tha greater part of the people this cannot be done; and instead cf dressing their child ren in prints and wcoiens, that will tear hard usages, they dress them in rich fa brics, and then teach them to be careful of their dress, to the injury of theif health. The silk dress must aot be soil ed or torn, will cot allow the little girl to take freo out-of-door exercise at the school recess, or in her raoiher's gardea at home. She must be restrained, net enly ia school hours, but out cf school hours. Not unfrequently is the teacher request ed by the mother to let her little daugh ter stay in the school-room during the recess, because she is frail and delicate Why is she frail and delicate ? Whatever, may be the cans, the request is, ordiua rily tin unwise one. Ordinarily, the out-of-door play of the recess is just what tha little girls needs. Again, school duties and fashionable dissipation cannot go hand in hand toge ther with impunity. The one or the oth er ought to be relinquished. It is unfair to attribute tohard study required by the school, the lassitude which arises frcm late hours, not cf the required hard stur dy, but of exciting amusements. The school girl, doing faithful duties of tha school, must be gifted indeed to be able to enact, at the same time, the part of fashionable lady of fashionable society. When she assumes the latter character, let her relieve the school of its responsi bility. The preceding remarks, however, are not intended to make ttachers kss care ful of their pupils' health than thty hith erto have teen, but more careful of it. By assigning to the evil its true cause, all will be able to work more intelligent ly and efficiently for its removal than ty assigning it to a false one. The spirit of the time must be recognized. No cna person, or class of persons, must be held responsible, but each and all partially so. As a general rule, not less study in the school is needed, but less excitement of a deleterious kind, out of school. Th teacher's directions to his pupils hasbeea for ages, study hard and play hard ; study in its proper time and place, play in us proper time and place. Ths teacher who shall judiciously enforce this direction, will do much toward introducing a proper system of "Physical Training imo our Common Schools." Salting Seer for Summer Use. Frcm the New England Farmer whuso editor has in answer to inquiries, gath ered them from various sources, we copy the following modes for the benefit of our readers: 16 qts. of salt, and 4 oz. faltpetre, fcr each 100 lbs. beef. Rub the peicesall over with salt, end pack it in edgwise, and after a layer is completed, take an axe or maul and pound down solid. Then" sprinkle on a little saltpetre and fill up all interstices with salt, and so on until the cask is f uli. Those who do not like saltpetre may omit it without injury to the meat. Mr. A. Wauzer, who communicated this receipe to the Albany Cultivator says he has salted his beef in this way for fifteen years, that it needs no soaking be fore boilings and will be tender and sweet the year around. By this way of salting it makes its own brine, and never want repacking, nor the brine scalding. If the brine should not cover it in the spring, sufficient may be added for that purpose. Take a barrel aud turn it up over ar old pan or kettle, and burn cobs or har wood for seven or eight days, keepin water on the head cf the tarrel to prt vent its drying. Make a pickle as follows: 6 oz. saltpetre. 2 qts, of .nolasscs, 3 ga' bn3 of water, for each ICO lbs. of ham.

A good story is tolJ concerning the writing of a certain railroad manager He had written to a man on the route, notifying him that he must remove a barn, which in some manner incommoded the road, under penalty of prostcutirn. The threatened individual was unat!j to read any part of his letter tut the signa ture, tut took it to be a free pass en the road, and used it for a couple tf years as sjch, none cf the condut tors being atlq to dispute his interpretation. Appopleiy is most prevalent between forty and sixty.
