AGRICULTURA L DEPARTMENT. NIGHT. The day is gone, and the darkness Falls from the wings of Night, As a feather is wafted downward From an eagle in its flight. I see the lights of the village Glean through the rain and mist, And a feeling of sadness comes o’er me, That my soul cannot resist. A feeling of sadness longing. That is not akin to pain, And'resembles sorrow only As the mist resembles rain. Come, read to me some poem, Some simple and heartfelt lay. That shall soothe this restless feeling, And banish the thoughts of day. Not from the grand old masters. Not from the bards sublime. — Whose distant footsteps, echo Through the corridors of Time. For like strains of martial music. Their mighty thoughts suggest Life’s endless toil and endeavor, And to uight 1 long for rest. Read from some humbler poet, Whose song gushed from his heart, As showers ftoin the clouds of Summer, Or tears from the eyelids start. Who. through long days of labor. And nights devoid of ease, Still heard in his soul the music Os wondrous melodies. Such songshave power to quiet The restless pulse of care. And co..e like the benediction That follows after prayer. Then read from the treasured volume The poem of ihy choice, And lend to the rhyme of the poet The beauty of thy voice. And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that 'ufest the day, Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs, And as silently steal away. ——————— Horses vs. Oxen. Which is the most profitable team for the farmer, horses or oxen? The question has been variously debated, but we have seen no better statement of both sides of the case, than that given by Thaer, in his <Principles of Agriculture>. — He in substance, says: Horses are capable of all kinds of farm labor; they adapt themselves to every degree of temperature. When horses are kept, there is no occasion to select the particular kind of labor; they may be employed in any work, and be attached to any vehicle or implement of the farm. Horses perform all kinds of work expeditiously as well as continuously, thus keeping those who labor with them more fully employed than in the case in working with oxen. Horses, though less steady at heavy draught than oxen, have the advantage of spirited, rapid motion, enabling them to overcome all obstacles of short duration, and such as would frequently stop oxen. Oxen, on the contrary, can perform many kinds of labor equally as well as the horses, and when well fed, are capable of enduring nearly as much fatigue. Many persons consider them better than horses for ploughing. Oxen are kept much less expensively their first cost is far below that of a horse —their harness is also much less costly, and their food of a cheaper character. Oxen, when well fed, and not overworked, frequently increase in value, thus almost prying the interest on their original cost; horses on the contrary, decrease in value with age, and finally become a dead loss to the owners. Oxen are less liable to accidents and disease, and produce a greater amount of valuable manure than horses. Another writer goes into a lengthened comparison of the cost of the same work when executed by oxen and horses, and states the ration [sic] of the first to the last named as 4 32 100 to 3 4 10, giving almost one-fourth advantage in the use of horses. This we think altogether too large, and that the economy in either case depends upon the work to be done, and the plentifulness or scarcity of appropriate food, and work on the farm.—<Country Gentleman>. ———<>——— TO PREVENT RABBITS GIRDLING TREES. A good protection is afforded by narrow strips of cotton cloth, wound about the bodies, as high as the rabbits can reach to be removed in the spring. If the cloth is then dried, and put away carefully, it will last a number of years, or until the trees have outgrown all danger.—<Country Gentleman>. ———<>——— FENCE RIALS [sic] AND WOOD.—Cut early all fencing stuff you may want, and have your stock of wood for next winters use cut and corded.

Applying Manure to Corn And Potatoes. 'On the relative advantages of applying manure in the hill for corn and potatoes, and plowing it in.’ I am greatly in favor of spreading and plowing in manure upon ground which is to be planted in corn or potatoes, instead of placing it in the hill, for several good reasons. I would not place the manure in hills bicause its effects are of small value to the crop of corn or potatoes. What possible benefit can a shovelful or two of infermented vard or stable manure do a hill of corn? Two thirds of the farmers use the manure made in the winter, for application to their fields in the spring.— It is nothing more nor less than green manure. If the weather, after planting, should prove wet, it will be one chance in a hundred if the seed does not rot —corn especially. If the weather is dry, the the manure dries into a solid mass, and is more of an injury than benefit. Should the season be just right, the roots of the corn soon grow beyond the effects of the manure, and leave it useless at the bottom of the stalk, where it can be of no use until the field is plowed up again for aj crop. If well rotted manure is used, applying in the hill will veiy well. let its effects are too contracted, and the full force of the manure is lost to the crop. I am not in favor of manuring potatoes in the hill, under any circumstances, as 1 believe it more of an injury than otherwise. I have always seen the best potatoes raised upon ground which was well manured for some other crop the previous year, especially of late years when there is danger of the rot.

3ly reasons for spreading and plowing in the manure are, because it is where it can benefit the crop during the whole period of its growth. It is mixed with the soil and within reach of the roots of the plant along its whole length, where it must be of more value to the plant than when placed in the hill. It is impossible for the manure, when placed in the hili, to influence the growth of the crop beyond the first commencement; and although an early start in the spring is very beneficial y et would that hill out grow and out yield, which could obtain a supply of nourishment for its plants during the whole season. instead of the one which had a full supply during its early growth, but was stinted all the rest of the season, as corn and potatoes must be, when dt-pendt-nce is made upon applying manure in the hill alone?—E. P. B. —lnd. Farmer.

Roots for Feeding Horses.— Horses in livery stables and all animals kept on dry food the entire year, need a liberal . feeding of roots to keep their digestive organs in healthful-action. It is owing! to the fact ol their medicinal or aperient i qualities that we see such extravagant (statements as are frequently made up after short trials—that a bushel of carrots I is equal to a bushel of oats as food for a 'horse. The facts are, it is contrary to nature for horses to be kept month after month and year after year, upon dry ! hay and grain without grass or roots — i Every horse owner sh '.uld remember this; and let a liberal supply of grace food into the bill of fare for his horse, that its health may be kept up, nor himself suffer loss from neglecting this precaution. — i We never yet found a livery stable keeper that had tried them who did not value carrots very highly. Let the reader who owns a horse use roots ‘as a medicine,’ if nothing more. — Country Gentleman.

] Scratches —This complaint comes t from bad grooming—allowing horses to stand long with muddy feet, &c. If the ’ horse is poor, give a generous diet. If in ; good condition, give cut hay or straw, | with bran or ship-stuff, once or twice a t day—and reduce the feed of oats. Then keep the 'eet clean by means of good casI tile soap and water, and use unsalted lard > to aid the healing process. This will be , probably enough. We may add, howevI ( er, that Professor Morton, of the Royal . Veterinary College recommends the fol- , lowing:—Equal parts of vinegar, linseed oil and turpentine. Wash the heels with lukewarm water and castile soap, and, after wiping dry, apply the mixture. We were once listening to an eloquent divine, who tn the course of his sermon was comparing the state o! the unconverted sinner to t hat of a man in a boat away from land and only one oar. He was suddenly brought up with a «evere round turn by an old sailor, wno jumped up and asked:—‘couldn’t the d d feol scull?’ A Russian miser is noticed as having learned to bark in order to avoid the expense of keeping a watch dog
