AGRICULTURAL DEI’ARTMENT. The Celestial Railway, The road to Heaven by Christ was made In heavenly truths the rails were laid, From Earth to Heaven the line extends, To life Eternal where it ends. Repentance is the station then Where travelers are taken in: And where there is no fee to pay. And Jesus is himself the way The Bible is the Engineer. It points the way to Heaven most clear, Through tunnels dark and dreary here, It does the way to glory steer, Gods love the fire, his truth the steam. Which drives the engine and the trains All yon who would to Glory ride Must come to Christ and in Him abide. The whistle is God’s preached word, It is the singal of the Lord, At every station on the line It always warns you in due time. 0! come poor sinner now is the time. At any station on the line, If you repent and turn from sir, The train will stop and take you in. The cars are ready now to go, Sav will you go to heaven or no? The Engineer is very kmd, Slay none ofyeu be left behind. The whistle notes sound loud and clear Announce to us the train is here And all who will to Glory go, Must come in time to hear it blow If you would like to take a ride, The Engineer will all provide, You’ll draw your rations by the Way And at the end the best of pay. We have on board n holy band They all are bound for canaans land To see the saints wlio’re gone before, And sing and shout forever more The cars rings through with great delight While all the crew in her unite, 'Till Canaans land appears in view, When all the Saints arc dressed anew. This Heaven bound carruns night and day, | Nor will she tarry on the way. Until she lands in heaven above, Where all the saints do feast in love. ’ ] And when we rcnch the heavenly land I We all shall dwell at Gods right hand, , And on that peaceful heavenly shore We'll ride this earthly train no more." j — ■ i

Honey Blade Hungarian Grass. Below we give some of the facts, as stated in a pamphlet recently issued in relation to the culture of the Hungarian I gruss, which is exciting considerable interest among our farmers: — Standard. ' In order to present to the farmers a more definate idea of its advantages, I will estimate the return of a single acre devoted to it for one year. I shall not, however, base this estimate upon any enthusiastic statement of parties who have raised unusual crops, nor shall I calculate the price of the seed as sold for the purpose of sowing, which must, of course, for next few years, be much abote any fair standard for it as a staple production. If cultivated exclusively as a forage plant, an acre, sowed about the end of May, would at the first cutting in July, yeild, at a fair average, four tons, and at the second cutting about one month later, would yield two tons more, making six tuns to the acre, which at the present price of the hay, from this grass, in my own section, would bring a return of 890 per acre. This estimate is based upon a crop at the first cutting at less than onehalf of the premium crop returned at a late agricultural fair, as previously stated. If the production of seed is made an ob-

•• ~ r* iect, according to the statement 1 have already given from reliable sources, three or four tons of hay, and twenty or thirty bushels of seed to the acre, would be but a moderate yield each year, which will be an equally rich return with the previous estimate. The produce is equally well suited to the wants of all sections of the United Slates and Canadas, and possesses a more universal adaption to all kinds of soil and and climate than the most prolific of our present staple productions. At the south it can be sown ciops are harvested, and will keep green through the winter. The time of spring sowing in the south, should be in the last of April or first of May, and at the north, somewhat later,

the time, of course, depending upon climate. The manner of sowing, is the same as for wheat or oats. The amount tor seeding ar. acre, should be about sixteen pounds. Any ground fit for oafs, or corn, will answer for ibis crop —bu' the cleaner the ground the better. The rule is, to cut it when most of the stocks and blades turn yellow, and the mass of seed* is nearly perfect. Phis se-l* , ,r< •; both hay and «•'< I

Cut, cure, and put up like timothy; or it may be cradled and put intothe sheaves if desired. It comes tn just after oats harvest. When out, the stubble sends up new I shoots, which will make half a crop at a second cutting, or will make the very best fall pasture. At the south, the stubj ble lives through the winter, and sprouts again in the spring, but in the north it must be put in each year. This is the only objection that can be urged against ; it, but the immense yield, and other advantages, certainly more compensates for , this disadvantage. Management of Coarse-Wool of Mutton Sheep. Food and shelter are very essential in j the management of any kind of sheep, and the sheep that are well provided with both, are very sure to do well, and withi out them they must certainly run down and become worthless. In fact, I have , obtained more clear profit from sheep I than any other stock on the premises. I ! have always found that the great success , :in raising lambs depended on the time I j ■ turned in my buck. I found from expe- 1 j perience, that I had always been in too' i much of a hurry—had my lambs too. ■ soon. From the 20th of Novembe to the ' Ist of December, is the best time to turn in. Then your lambs will come when : there is plenty of grass; and then you will have olenty of milk for the young lambs, and you will find them large, strong and and fat, and they will grow rapid enough. Lambs that are docked and castrated ; the first week of their existence, will do , the best; for if left until one or two months j old, the use of the knife will stop the growth, and sometimes cause death in a i few days. Young lambs seldom mind ■ the knife more than one day. To keep the ewes, strong healthy, they j should be separated from the rest of the I flock, and fed some grain—about half a i pint each per day of corn and oats in equal parts, with a few pine boughs, or a little > tar laid in the feeding trough will answer . the same purpose. Begin to feed grain about the 15th of February, and keep it up until there is a full bite of grass.—

Then your ewes will go through strong and hearty. To mark sheep well, you must cut out the initials of your name in the end of 3 : block of wood, dip the letters into some red or black paint, and apply it on one side of the rump of the ewes, and on the shoulders of the male sheep or wethers, which you intend to put off,'you may apply’ the mark on the opposite side.— | Then you can tell at a distance those you want to pick out of the flock. To keep off dogs, put on one good plated bell for every twenty sheep, and you will escape the depredations of the canine tribe; for let an old dog start up a good loud bell, and he will drop his tail and . leave forthwith, for be wants to go it on i the sly. But sometimes a young fool of i a dog will chase after a bell, and bark, too. — Genesee Farmer. Oiling Harness. I have lately met with a process which was recommmended bv A. Baker, proI■, - . * pnetor of the most extensive liverv establishment in Rochester. I forward it for insertion. Lt is as follows: Take neat’s foot oil and ivory or patent black—the latter well pulverized, or to

be made so before using. Mix thoroughly, adding the black until the oil is well colored or quite black. In cool weather the oil should be warmed somewhat before mixing. With a sponge apply a light coat of the mixture—only what the leather will readily absord, unless the harness is very dry, in which case a heavier coat may be necessary. After the harness is dry, wash thoroughly with soap-suds. In making the suds use good castile soap and cold rain water. Warm water should never be used on harness leather. Apply the suds with a sponge. Rub off with buckskin. This will give your harness a nice glossy surface, and the leather will retain a good color and continue pliable for months. Ifitbecomes soiled with mud or sweat, an application of soap and water, as above directed,

(without oiling) will be sufficient to give it a bright appearance. Two applications of this oil and black mixture a year (or once every six months,) will be sufficient to keep the harness as ordinarily used, in good order.— Country Gentleman. The best five acres of of corn presented to the Indiana State Agricultural Society for premium produced 357} bushels of shelled corn, or 17!} bushels to »he acre.
