"We bavo tried to be for "spare the birds" for many years, both in the. sense of humanity, and to be poetical. The doctrine, however, has been on the wane for several years, until now "lwe acknowledge to an entire ex 'tlngulshment. Early pea3 and apples eweet grapes anU cherries, have, in a great measure, gone to appease the appetite of ravenous birds. This year the fruit from three hundred choice grape vines Delewares, Dian as nas, Isabelles, Ionas, Hcrtfords, JRog- lrsand Concords have been punctur ed, crushed and destroyed as fatt as .they colored ; nothing left ; entirely destroyed! Robins, Orioles, CaL Birds Blue Jays and Wood Pecks have all proved themselves most desperate and destructive thieves, looking glasses, scraps of tin, and other scare crows have no effect. Powder and shot, and that only while being used has any effect. "We are done with . our bird, sympathy ; our "voice is for war." LABGE HOGS. There have been seven of John Bright's Chester White breed of hogs slaughtered in Naperville, 111., with in the last three months, weighing re spectively as follows, to-wit : One by r .himself, 640Bs gross, 5491bs dressed; jgme by himself, 6701bs gross, and 5761bs aressed ; one by himself, 6951bs gross, nd 5S91bs dressed.

ITqperviUe Clarion, Jan. 2Qth, 3570.?. - Grapes this-season, in this section, are more than ordinarily early. Hart ,9rds(are long since gone ; Delawares are now in their prime; 'also Concords, Israella, and Rogers' 15 and 19. Di anna, lona and Jssabella are well col ored. It will be difficult to keep any of the above fn prime order, except perhaps the Diana, until the State Pair. We have this season, for the first time, fruited the lona and Israella in this State. We have no hesitancy in awarding them all the credit claimed by their originator and most sanguine friends. The vines are hardy and the fruifcsuperb. Capt John L. Carson, of this city, has been for several years past devot isg himself to the introduction and ( raising of blooded cattle. He has a ,.Jine little herd of about twenty young Bhort horns. The past week he pur chased in Illinois and brought on one 'pf the finest short horn bulls we have seen in.the State. A visit to the Cap-- tain's fine farm, and a sight at his stock, especially his cattle, cannot fail , , to be most gratifying to all lovers in , that line. THE ONE CROP SYSTEM. Scarce a'day passes tbatwe-do'not get testimony as to the embarrass ment resulting to farmers depending upon a single crop for revenue. A Wisconsin correspondent and agent, writes: "Jt'isvery difficult obtain ing subscribers on account of the times. When farmers a'ro selling wheat at 75 cents per bushel, which they say st $1 per bushel to raise, they generally say I would like the paper, but cannot take it this year.' " Another farmer in Iowa writes : "I staked mysuccebs this season upon a single crop, and I am as fiat as a flounder. I am in debt for my land and had prices for wheat been as good as the year previous, I would have cleared off my indebtedness and more too. Now I cannot meet my pay ments, and unless my creditors have the milk of human kindness in their hearts I shall lose all I own. I assure you it looks blue to me." We quote from these two, among scores of similar letters, to show the effect of the single crop system, when that crop, or the price of it, fails. On the other hand, another Iowa corres pondent writes one of the editors of the Mural a private letter, which con tains the following.; "You remem ber you said in one ofybur letters a year ago, 'now my dear boy don't go into wheat all'over. Don't you see that your Iowa fanners are all wheat crazy? Buy your flower the coming year, plant more corn and potatoes, sow oats and barley, buy all the hogs vou can keep ana ieett ttrem -well, and vou will win. and your wheat neighbors will lose.' Do you remem ber writing me that? You did, and for a wonder, I followed your advice, and to-day I am at lea?t a thousand dollars richer by it. I am easy .finan cially, as a flowing river. There are hundreds of poor wheat fellows who are not though. I owe you for my serenity." The editor who wrote that private letter (had forgotton it) based his ad vice upon a rule, which he had early learned was a wise one that is, to abandon the extended cultivation of a crop which everybody is going to cul tivate. .Every extra day's labor, dol lar and acre pf land employed in the production of wheat or corn, or any other crop, above the usual average, enhance the value of other crops in market from which this labor, and land money is taken ; so that if ten men in a neighborhood sow an extra aera to a double aera, he plants in other crops, instead of doiug as his neighbors do. Rural New Yorker. We do, as we have often done, en dorse the foregoing views of our co temporary. Our readers know that we have often showed up the fallacy so dilligently propogated in this Com monwealth, and officially to, of the "one crop system" rather than the diversity. In some special cases, as on laud suited to growing the finest leaf tobacco, strawberries, etc.j but they arc exceptions to the rule to be gener ally practiced. The old adage "Send not all your eggs to market in one basket" in culates sound doctrine, respecting the one crop system. Bos ton Cultivator. RCRillifSOTES. HOW DEXTER IS SHOD. Each shoe is carefully balanced, the surface which comes in contact with the ground, slightly curves from heel to toe, so that when the horse is standing firm, the principle weight is borne by the heel and centre, no heavy pressure being felt upon thej toe. Just as a line drawn from the toe to the heel of a man's boot would demonstrate a slight curve, so is the natural curve gived toDexter's shoes. When a man walks there is a risincr sloping action, from heel to toe, and wnen a norse is trotting', tnere-isa rolling motion from heel to toe. Acknowledging the principle to oe correct, it stands to reason, mat a horse will gather more quickly and with less friction if, instead" of the heel and toe beinir forced to the same level, the former being raised a little higher than the lat ter. To secure exact proportion to this curve, Mr. Bonner takes each shoe and places it on the smooth surface of ainarble slab, and weighs it with a critical eye. In the toe of each shoe a slight excavation or sloping indenture is made for the purpose of giving firmness to the step or tne norse. JtJy the force of con cussion the soft earth is forced up in to this excavation, so that in rising from heel to toe the foot does not slip backward. This sloping .Indenture must be carefully proportioned to the size and weight of the shoe, for other wise it mightcreate friction and prove a positive drawback instead of an as sistant. This mode of shoeing has certainly worked well in Dexter's Lease, for the marvel is still a marvel, uuu uu oi ms recent periormauces, which have so much astonished the people, have been made in shoes con structed after the pattern described. Turf, Fteld and farm. Ninety-one and one-half bushels of oats to one acre was grown on the farm of Hon. Wm. B. Nail of Otoe county. "We have no comments to make on this item, says- the Chronicle, only that It is strictly true. Can any State beat Nebraska for grain ? Bees have done poorly in this re gion this season. They have neither worked nor swarmed to any account. HOW TO MEASURE CRIB. CORN IN THE After leveling the corn multiply the length and breadth of the house together, and the product by the depth, which will give the cubic-feet of the bulk of the corn : then divide the last product by twelve, aud the quotient will be the number of bar rels of shelled corn in the house or crib. If there be a remainder after the division, it will be so many twelfths of a barrel of shelled corn over. Exaynple 12 feet long, 11 feet broad, -, I GERMINATION OF SEEDS. The sprouting of seeds can be greatly facilitated by chemical agen cies, especially by the action of ammonia and carbalic acid. A solu tion of the latter will often cause them to germinate withiri a day or two, even after having been kept for forty years. Coffee Beeds, which are prov erbially hard to start, are best for warded by placing them in a covered vessel containing equal parts of water r and spirits of sal ammoniac, at the ordinary temperature. At the end of twelve hours, the roots will-be-found to have started. Most of the stories of the germination of wheat found - p. I16 mummy cases, are of a very dubious character. Travelers and . others have often been "sold" by the r Egyptian rascals, who have furnish ed them with these seeds of two thous and or more years ago. It is stated, - ?S veJ' ?n Pre"y good authority, S11?,!8344 a meeting.pf a German Boientlfie Association, grain was ex hibited that had been raised from seed found in an Egyptian tomb, where it Kust have lain for twenty or twenty- , centuries, xnis seea naa been ' soaked for a considerable time irrfat , tyoll before planting.

"U everybody trained vines oil, trees, anil itijvas a well established fact that in riuch a position they puc cqedeU'1 better than elsewhere, than these contrary souls would be sure to try staftes or ,trcllises. A gentleman living at Tiffin, Ohio, .planted a num ber of walnut trees with the intention of training grape "vines 'dpoh them, but harjng failed to make his vines grow underneath the shade of these trees, ho now writes and wants to know if vines will grow at the foot of Wjalriut treen. Hcsuould have thought of thisjbefore, but having had exper ience in theie matters, we do not know of any one better able to. answer the question than himself. We have never tried an experiment of tSiisj kind ourselves, and cannot give any positive information in the niatter; but we have often noticed that curtain kinds of vegetables would not grow under the drip of butternut and black walnut trees. Whether the failure was caused from want of mois ture Che roots of treefc appropriating all that fell upon the soil in their im mediate vicinity or that the trees gave ojfsome poisnous substance, we leave for chemists to determine. Grape-vines will grow when train ed upon willows, popular and mauy other speeiea of trees, but we do not think a man would show much wis dom by-plaiitiug them for this pur pose. Keeping Parm Accounts. How much has been written, on the sub ject, and how important in order to know anything of actual results: and yet how few nmonj all the mass of farmers ever think of doing it; how very few know anything near what any crop oranimal costs them, orseem to care either. They mostly do what they see tlieir .neighbors doingaround them, with very little method or cal culation, and leave the result to ac cident. Ask a farmer how much grain he h:is of any particular kind. and kfc will most usually tell you that ne uous not- Know exactly, because he kept the tally upon the threshing-machine, ahd forgot to take it off on his book before the machine left. Much less can he tell you what his whole year's crop amounts to, or what his whole expense have been. Of course we do not say that all farmers are so, because we know there is occasionally a systematic business man among far mers, as well as in other lines of busi ness; but I take it they are the except ion, and not the rule. Now this ought not to be so; a care ful knowledge of results is just as im portant to the farmer as the merchant or manufacturer, or a railway com pany. Kailway companies keep their accounts so accurately thatthey know to a cent exactly how much each loco motive and car costs to keep it in re pair, how much to run it how much everything about them cost fmm months to months and year to year not merely for curiosity, but in order to be able to detect all waste of time or material, or mismanagement of whatever nature. Is not this kind of information just j liupuuaui, to tne ianaer i. tninK so, and I speak of it more particularly now because it is the begining of the year, ,when all such matters most proporly commence." A blank book of the cost of a few shillings will do for years. And now, brother farmer, such of you desire to know what .you are doing, let me persuade you into an effort to keep farm accounts, for one year, at least, and see howyou'likeit.

It is not only painful but a dangerous act. For every time living flesh touches n metal much be low tjio freezing point, the latter ex tracts the heat from the former aud freezes it. Thus a horse's mouth be comes frozen by the cold iron several times a day put into it; each time causing these freezings to go deeper and deeper, to and at last in exten sive ulceration. .With such a sore mourn ino poor norse refuses to eat and pines away, which calls the horse-doctor in.

Manv a valuable horse has been "myster ioutly" lost in just tha'Eway.

Now all this trouble and loss are entirely avoided, as wo have found on large trial, by getting the harness-makers to get leather, bits for winter use, so made iuiiu uo meiai suostance can touch the flesh.

Value orForcst Trees. ' TheOnarga(IH.( Horticultural So ciety has placed upon file the follow ing resolution for discussion at some future meeting: "Besolved, that the cultivation of for-e-t trees is more profitable fo the pra rie farmer than the cultivation of fruit trees." So far as xt relates to the direct profit to be derived from the cultivation of forest trees, the farmers in each lo cality will have to determine for themselves, but, we judge that the resolution might have been a little stronger if it had read. "The culti vation of fruits cannot be made profi table in prarie countries without pro tection, and this cannot be obtained in any other way so cheap as by grow ing forest trees." In the Western Si ates this subject of growing trees for protection and profit is receiving considerable attention, but not more than it really deaires. Whenever the Western farmers cover at least one fifth of their laud with forests they will find that they can grow more upon the whole. The country will be less liable to suffer from drouths; in sects will do ''Jess damage, because their natural enemies, birds will find shelter in the woods, and will multi ply accord ingly. We have Only to read the history of any country that has been deprived of its forest to veri by the truth of these assertion. Too much forest is certainly not desirable, but to little is a calamity not readily repaired. " Every farmer should have a few acres of woodland, and those who have neglected to secure this ought to be gin immediately to supply this want, either by purchase or by planting seeds. There will never be a better time than the present. Forest tree seeds, of many specie, are now begin ning to ripen, ana tnose wlio have the small seedlings for sale will be pleased to receive orders for the same. Hearth and Home. Mules on the Farm. Mules are almost universal on the sugar and cotton plantations of the far South, while the favorite team on the Northern farm has always been the ox; partly because his carcass is so valuable when cut into steaks, partly from the rough character of the soil, which makes a slow team very desira ble. The mule is much stronger than the horse on stony soils, or carts on rough roads. They are more easily kept than either horse or oxen; and will consume almost any rough fodder with relish. A serious drawback to the ox team is, that it demands a pasture a part of the time, or its equivalent in green foder. If kept up continually and fed with dry hay and meal, oxen will lose appetite after awhile and fail in flesh. The mule can be kept up as steadily as the bore, without any loss of flesh or strength. This is a great advantage to those who have full work for their teams. It rather agrees with mules to have a daily task, and to be kept straightatit. A week's idleness seems to demoralize them, and they have to learn their lessons over again. They are not as liable to disease as either the horse or ox, and are much longer lived. A well used mule team will last thirty years; and that is about long enough. But itrwill be said(he mule is such -ten- mvfcerctto- Klolior thfif; vnn rjin never feel safe with him. "Tichus,jRj ins aptest mode ot defence. It is so natural to return blows for blows that the mule receives a good education in the line of kicking rather than in for bearance. If we are persistently pa tient with him, and treat him with kindness, he will lose his fears, and his disposition to kick. If you want a good tempered mule team, you must keep your own temper. You must join Mr. Berg's society and come into good fellowship with brutes. Yelling, scolding, cursing, and blows will make a vicious team almost inevitable. lwz.

Without these, thnush the soil and climate are favorable, farming in the nine teenth century cannot be made profitable, as the basis of all prices is upon that which can bo produced most successfully, with the least labor, in the greatest quantity, on a given amount of land. The first requisite to farm ing is a good PIoy, one that will scour readi ly in all soils, and Is made of the best mate rial upon scientific principles based upon the experlenceof centuries. The Canton Clipper Plow will be found the plow combining theso qualities in the greatest degree.

The next Implement is a good Cultivator; such is Par lin's Walking Cultivator. It is easily man aged, does its work well, with ease to the horses, and Is dnrable.
