He may woo and win another. But the daughter clings In unchanglnging grief To the immage of her mother. A Good Barn. Much has been written and published in the various agricultural journals upon the construction of barns, and so much importance do tre attach to the subject that we feel inclined to publish every article that we can find which contains an idea or suggestion calculated to im press our readers with the great advan tage of a well-consiructedand thoroughly ventilated barn. In the multitude of in ventions none has been attempted for the purification of the free air of heaven. Our only aim should be to give it to our domestic animals as pure and free from offensive and deleterious gases and odors as possible. The following upon the sub ject of a good barn, is from a correspon dent of the New Hampshire Journal of Agriculture : One of the most essential requisites for the farmer is a good and convenient barn : yet there are many different opinions in regard to the best mode of constructing them, and as there can be but one best way, it would be well, if possible, to as certain what that best, way is. This of course must depend in a great measure npon the ose for which it is intended. A barn finished suitable for a professional roan, who would keep only a horse and perhaps a cow, would be quite unsuitable for a farmer, who would keep thirty head of cattle, with the usual number of hor ses, t-heep, &c The one horse barn might be clapboarded, painted and glazed in as good style as any dwelling house, while such finish would be much too tight for a Urn in which hay and grain in any considerable quantity were to be preserved. Oue of the most essential things for the farmer who would have handsome, thrifty stock, is to have his fodder sweet and kept in the best possi ble manner. No one can expect that each load of hay which he puts into his barn will be ecjually well cured; during the six weeks in which he is employed in securing his hay. he will find the first put in too green while the last will be too dry. and owing to unavoidable causes ar ising from showers and other things, he will find but very little, if any, of his hay to have been properly cured when put into his barn. Now the question ought to be, how this mass, thrown together while each load is undergoing a different process of cure, can be made to afford the most nutriment. I have no hesitation in saying that z barn sufficiently large for a good sized farm, which is made tight by clapboarding, painting and glazing the outside like a dwelling house, however many and large the ventilators may be in the roof, is the very worst kind of a barn for the purpose of preserving hay and grain. Hay, in order to be well preser ved, should always be accessible to fresh air, especially if it is in large quantities, and ia order for that, the body of a barn should be covered with boards, jointed if not planed, and nailed on perpendicular ly, leaving the joints so that in a dry time they will be open at least one-eighth of an inch. This will secure to the hay, however large the quantity, a good supply of sweet, fresh air, the benefit of which will be readily seen by the slick hair and bright eyes of the catile ; but ha which iu any laree quantities is kept in a tight barn, will become sour and musty, and will smoke when fed to the cattle, and the only reason why they will eat it is because they can get nothing better". Tho roof and eaving of a barn should be well finished and made tight, while in the cowering of the body especial reference should be had to the preservation of the hay and giain, as well as to the conven ience of the stalls. Blue Army Clotli. Considerable feeling was lately manifested by woolen manufactuiers in Boston on account of some large orders which had been given by the Adjutant-General U. S. A., for En glish army blankets. They protested against sending abroad for such goods, and it was asserted the mills in New England were capable of supplying all tho demands of the War Depart ment. This may be true with regard to the capacity of our blanket woolen mills, but unless our military regula tions be changed we shall yet have to send to England for large supplies of army cloth. It is well know that dark cloth is the chief color required for the coats of the officers and privates of the army and navy, and we do not oversight the number when we say there are not far from six hundred thousand men now wearing military uniforms. The amount of dark blue cloth for equipping half this grent host will be about four and a half million yards per annum, allowing three coats to each man. Tnis is not putting the allowance too high for men 'engaged in hard warfare, especially when it is also taken into considera tion that a large portion of the array must also be furnished with dark blue overcoats. Can our manufacturers supply this large quantity of cloth? We believe they cannot; and we think they have never manufactured the finer qualities of army cloth. In conversation a few days since with a customer clothier who frequently fur nishes suits for many of the highest officers in the regular army, he in formed us theyalways wanted the best cloth, such as maintained a fresh ap pearance from the day it was put on until it was worn threadbare. The West of England blue broadcloth was usually selected as possessing this quality. Besides the blue coats re quired for our army and navy, the officers wear dark blue trowsers, and so do the entire cavalry. The color of the trowsers and overcoats of the infantry soldiers who are clothed in the United States' uniform, is also blue, but its tone is quite light. For the entire annual equipment of our army ami navy in uniform, we may safely allow one-half the quantity of cloth for trowsers that is necessary for coats, thus making the total six and three-quarter million yards of indigo blue cloth. Our manufacturers, we are told, cannot obtain a sufficient quantity of indigo to dye the amount of wool required for one-half this amount of cloth. Never before have we required so much of this coloring material, and never before was the supply so limited, the stock of the finer qualities being nearly exhausted. A dealer iu indigo told us a few days since that he could sell fifty cases of it for every one he has on hand or can get. The East India crops of Bengal and Manilla indigo were greatly reduced last year by disturbances among the cultivators, and the crops in South America were unusually light. These facts and cir cumstances lead U3 to conclude that we shall j'et have to send to England, which commands such a large share of the world's indigo crop, for very large stores of indigo unle3 our military regulations are greatly relaxed so far as they re'ate to permanent colors. We have no hesitation asserting that durable dark blue colors can be died with logwood. They will with stand exposure nntil the uniforms are ! worn out, and this should be satisfac tory. Such colors are dyed by several boiltng dips" alternately in a weak mordant of sulphate of iron and a bath of logwood untill the proper tone is received, then finished with a very weak liquor of blue galls. The color thus obtained will be as permanent as that of common black felt hats, which is well known to withstand sunlight and rain for along period. A blue color can be dyed, with log wood, upon wool with a variety of what is called "mordants." By pre paring the wool with a sulphate of "copper solution, then dyeing it in a logwood liquor, a blue color is obtained which, when new, is not unlike that of indigo, but it is photogenic, and soon fades when exposed to the action of sunlight. A very beautiful dark blue can also be dyed on wool with the prus siate of potash, the muriate of tin and a minute quantity of the nitrate of iron; after which logwood is applied to render the tone deep and rich. However pleasing this color may appear when new, it fades when ex posed to sunshine and moisture. A mordant composed of the bichromate of potnsh and crude tartar make3 a very good blue with logwood, hut the sulphate of iron and logwood blue is the most tenable color. A logwood blue is neither so beautiful nor so per manent as the color obtained from alkaline indigo, still it will answer every purpose for common army clothing, and effect a saving of at least a million of dollars to the country. Sciealific American. Clean Hogs vs. Dirty nogs. It seems to be believed by some that hogs, to be healthy and comfortable, and fatten rapidly, must be dirty must wal low in mud and water every warm day, to keep them from "melting." It is very true that hogs are inclined to behave like a drunken man sometimes, and wallow in ihe mire but from a very different cause. There is, perhaps, no greater error afloat, in relation to stock raising, than that of thus permitting: hogs to grat ify such an inclination. The best place to keep fattening hogs, is in a dry clean pen, with a good plank floor, with cracks between them sufficiently wide to allow the liquid manure to pass off freely ; a good roof to prevent them from sun and storm, and the pen well ventilated. The pen should be cleaned often and thor oughly ; and washed, too, if convenient. Let the hogs lie upon the dry plank, in warm weather. They should not, when fattening, be allowed to touch the ground. The reason is clear. The more quiet you can keep a hog while fattening, the Ihss food it requires to fatten him. If you permit him to lie and root, and bur row upon the ground, he labors to that extent ; and consequently so much of ihe food, as is exhausted in such efforts, is entirely lost, when it might have been saved by keeping him quiet. The shade of ihe pen with the air circulating freely through it, is better than all the mud and water as the hog never seeks the water for the sake of the water itself, but for the coolin? and shade from the sun which it affords him. He will sooner (unless flies trouble him) lie beneath the shade of some wide-spreading tree, where he can feel the air, than frequent the water. And when he has no litter in his pen to lie upon, but rests his limbs upon his own flesh, he is not inclined to stir more than is necessary, while lying upon the floor; and, at the same time he will be induced, by way of change of position, to stand upon his feet enough to give him healthy exercise. There is raore skill required in feed ing hogs, than people generally are apt to think. In the first place, in my opin ion, under ordinary circumstances, hogs should be fed three times a day, and that regularly, morning, noon and night, and that only, and only what they will eat up clean, and not too much drink, the di gsiive organs require time to perforin their duty ; and when hogs are gorged with food all the time, they soon become cloyed. Nature has fixed the rule for feeding, and we should endeavor to fol low it. No animal can eat continually, and be healthy. Your pigs and store hogs can wallow in the mud and water if yoa choose to let them; but never let your fattening hogs have that privilege. North Western Farmer. How ta Take onr 3Ieal3- The tables of the rich and nobles of England are models of mirth and wit aud bonhomme ; it lakes hours to get through a repast, and they live long. If any body will look in upon the negroes of a well to do family in Kentucky, while at their meals, they cannot but be impres sed with tbe perfect abandon of jabber, cachination. and mirth ; it seems as if they could, talk all day ;"and they live long. It follows then, that at the family table all should meet and do it habitually, to inter change of hih-bred courtesies, of warm affections, of cheering rnirthfulness, and that generosiiy of nature which lifts us above the brutes that perish, promotive as these things are of good digestion, high healih, and bag life.

In legislating for tha Territory, and mould ing its institutions you should boar in mind that however small the population and inter est you represent mty,apie4r, when compared with older communities, yoa are laying th foundation for a populous, wealthy aai pow erful State, that m .y be aSected for good or evil, for many years, by tha character of your labors. Nebraska Territory was organized iri Hay, 1854, but the first Lf gislature of the Territory did not meet until January, 1835. At thai time, according to a ccn?U3 ordered by th then acting Governor, tha whola number of inhabitant iu the Territory amounted to about. 2,700, or, to be mora explicit. 2,732. 0;:r jwpulation has increased from that period until the present as steadily and as rapidly as tha most sanguine could de.d re ; showing, whea the last enumeration was m ide, that wa had increased more than ten fold in a little over five years ; and I can sea no reason why this rapid increase may rot continue for many years to come, enabfir.g in, at an e.irly period, to add another member to tha family of the United States. A mere glHnce at tha map of the country will convince every intelligent mind that tha great Platte Valley whbh passes through tha heart, and runs nearly tha entire length of Ne braska, U to furnish the rnuto for tha Great Central Railroad which is to connect the At lantic with the Parilic States and Territories. Through Nebraska must pas, with'n a faw years, not only tho travel atd trade betwesa the eastern and western portion ofonrovca country; but, also, much of the trade and travel between the Old and New World. The intelligent and far seeing Telegraph com pany have made this discovery alraa ly, and have located their Pacific Line and staked out the very routo where they expect scon to be followed by this great highway of commrca. But Nehrask.1 does riot i1rniul a'nnn rtrni her geographical position for her prosperity and wealth. She possesses a soil unsurpassed in riliTia nnil lvintir trail onrtil!.irl 'tV m ... ...... wi.i. , " OUIl.4 1.1.1 144. nunierab' e S Drinks of the unrest wa'cr. nni a climate insuring almost uninterrupted beilth for both man and beast. It is manifest, there lore, that this must soon become one of tha best grain-growing and stock-raising countriej on tho globe. Its capacity to sustain animal life, on a gigantic scale, is placed beyond all doubt by the presence of immense numbers of deer, antelope, and millions of buffalo, sup ported by the spontaneous vegetation of our prairies and valleys, unaided by cultivation or tho care of the herdsman. A country which sustains such vast herds of wild cattle, in a state of nature, possesses the elements of ex haustless wealth, and mnst, in time, become a populous and powerful State. This jteriod may be hastened by tha char acter of our legislature. You should endea vor, as far as possiblf, to render N. b aska a desirable place for homes for an indtutriouj, intelligent and frugal people. To this end you bhoild cicourage tha construction of roads, bridges, highways, and railroads, and the introduction aud construction of machinery to supply the varied wants of the people with in our own limits. You should, ss far as pos sible, protect the natural growth of timbir, (of which in msnj places there is found to be a deficient sunnlv.1 ?uard against its unnecessary 1 O CI - Mf destruction, and stimulate its cultivation. Ia many parts of Europe, and in soma of ths older communities in this country, the culti vation of timber ha been fully tested, al timber crops thus produced, have been found to be very profitable. In my opiuion, tha people of the Territory ought to ba advised and stimulated to engage in this work on aa extensive scale ; arid the sooner they are in duced to net about it, tha sooner our vasS prairies will bo put in a state of cultivation, and ba made to yield a profit to the owner, and prove n blessing to the country at larga. It will be our duty es far as possible, to protect the interests of the Agricultural clas st'i, by such legislation as onr rapidly chang ing condition may demand, by encouraging the production cf approved varieties of graia, grasses and fruits; the introduction of im proved breeds of stock ; and by directing at. tention to such branches of husbandry as may prove most lucrative to our citizens. In this connection I would e-pscially call your attention to the uvject of wool-growicg. Ia my judgment, many parts cf th;s Territory, particularly the high and rolling lands, are well adapted to sheep-raising, aud I suggest thether it might cot be well to encourag their importation by some special provision of law. In Saline and Lancaster courties, ia th"a Territory, are found numerous and valuable talt Kpiiugs, whieh,if properly worked, would not only furnish salt for the people of the whole Territory, at much lower rat than i can be brought from the States; bi't would afford employment for very many of our in dustrious citizens. The-e springs, with tha adjacent lands, h ivo bot-n resjrved from sale by i he Geiienl G virnm.ut. and no lgil usa or disunion can h) rut la of them by tha people of the Territory. I recomnieud, there lore th.it you nirmruliza C nress on this subject, and ak that these pritiis, vi:h tha reserved land;, may bo placed under tha con trol of our Legislature, or that Conres may
