2, oats; 3, wheat with the manure of the farm; 4, clover to be cut or pastured.The farmers in all this region attribute the great change in the value of their lands to this rotation.the wheat fields as promising as in any part of the West, fn all the better farming districts of Pennsylvania, similar results are manifest.Clover and lime, io counection with the mavure The crops are luxuriant, aud made upou the place, keep tie farms in good heart, and constauily improving.aud of corn iu these distriets is much The average produciion of wheat higher than in the Western States, which had à richer virgin soit.Wherever this treatment of the soil Las been introduced, it secures the most satisfactory results.We do unt see how this management of the soil eau Le considered as pertaining merely to the theory of agriculture.Yet the mags of our farmers in the Eastern States continue to raise clover in small patches ne à forage crop, without reference to its valne as a reuovator of the soil.\u2014 If they would travel more avd seo what is accomplished in the line of their art, they would form better views, both of the theory and practice of agriculture.\u2014 Agriculturist.RS Numser or Huns\u2014A stock of from twelve to twenty hens, with two or three cocks, are suflicient for a mod- efate sized [umily.If more are kept they will not do so well, as the cocks will disagree.If suffered to roost out in the tops or branches of trees inwin- ter and summer, and made to scratch for a living the best way they can, it could scarcely be expected they would prove thrifty and profitable.Vermin and inclement weather would blight expectations.Neither are all situations favorable to raising poultry ; there are many lands of a wet vature, where chickens will not thrive.Geuerally a light sand or gravelly soil is prelora- ble.- Poultry proves a very profitable branch of a small farm couveuiently situated ;

the wool on some of the lambs measures ten inches in length.From Mr.Kingsborgh he purchased eight sheep ; from William Collum he purchased a three year old purely-bred Cotswold buck of superior quality, and the balance from breeders of note in various parts of the Dominion.The principal part of the flock has been Lred from the celebrated stock of F, W.Stone, Esq.The Butter Humbug.Many of our readers may have been taken in by this swindle.\u201cHow to tnuke à pound of butter out of a pint of milk,\u201d ought to have been a waru- ing sufficient ; but covetonsness on the one haud, and credulity on the other, for nature.The fraud has been exposed in the Uuited States, where it is believed to have orvigivated, but it is vow having fuil swing in Canada.\u201cCounty rights,\u201d ns they are called, are sold at from a few hundreds to thousands of dollars.Essex was sold a week or two siuce for about $1,400.A word of common sense ought to Le sufficient.\u2014 We will show how the fraud is committed, and then how to expose it, To commit the fraud, také a pound of butter, a proportion of the so-called butter powder, nud a pint of milk.\u2014 Beat aud erush them together, and they will seemingly uuite ; the powder which is used forms a emulsion between the milk aud the butter, and the result is a mass looking like butter, and tasting tolerably (of course proper quantities of salt must be used to flavor it).\u2014 Now, to suppose that the result is BUTTER is simply folly; but if you doubt the fact, put the vesulis of what you are oftentimes ivo much human weigh about two pounds) into a vessel, which stand in boiling water until the conteuts melt, then add some warm water aod leave it to rest for a while in a melted and warm state, and you will find your original pound of butter floating on the top, and the balance of the quantity, being about a pound of liumbug, separated from the other in while water and eurds, with oceasion- ally a small quantity of white powder at the bottom.You will, of course, find the proceeds increased by the waler you have added.This is « most mischievous fraud, and will ruin many a farmer's credit.\u2014 Municipal authorities and magistrates will have av \u2018assize of buiter\u201d at their markets ; thie article will be forfeited, and the fraudulent farmer exposed, and most likely punished for swindling.A Honk Mave Fewnvizer.\u2014a0r.Earle: 1 notice an article jn the Standard, taken from the Journal of Chemistry, headed, \u201cAn Excellent Fertilizer,\u201d aod I will give à recipe for one that costs comparatively vothing, and is within reach of every one.It may be made in the following masner :\u2014Take oue barret of heu manure, due barrel well rotted muck, one bushel.of good wood ashes, one peck fine salt, five pounds unitre, mix thoroughly and let it stand three days covered up and it will then be fit for use.You will then have two barrels of it, and each barrel will be worth more than a barrel of Coe\u2019s, Bradley's, or any other phosphate now in use.Oue gill in a hill of corn will work wonders.It is good forall garden vegetables and root crops.O.V.PrncrvAL, West Glover.\u2014 Standard.The San Fravcisco papers complain that the yields of wheat in California has falleu from forty Lushels an acre dowu to twenty bushels;

and She smiled to herself to think how utterly futile the efforts of the two masked men would bo.- She kuew nothing of those thoderu improvements in the science of honse-breaking whioh would seem to make light of the strongost safes that onn bo coustructed, When Murtha had fully make up her :niud that it was impossible for her to oscupo, she set\u2019 about caloulatiog how long her imprisonment was likely to lust.It was now about lialf past one A.M., aud at fen o\u2019cleck Will Trafford would be here to spend his Christmas duy at the bank.If not set at liberty before that time\u2014aud she could hardly hope to bo so, seeing that the burglars would require some time to get clear away after laaviug the bauk \u2014she might calculate npou being re- lensed on the arrival of her swest-heart.Ho would naturally be surprised at finding his summons unanswered, an alarm would be raised, aud finally she, Murtha, would be discovered, and set at liberty.But eight hours aud a halt of imprisonmont\u2014aud sueh imprisonment !\u2014was n long aud dreadful timo to look forward to.This thought wus still in her hond whou tho maskod woman came gliding noiselessly into the office, with the intention of secing that her prisoner was still safe.The ro- ndjustment of à kuot or two satisfied her.\u201cYou have been trying Lo esonpo, and you have found that you can not,\u201d she said, ns she turned to go.\u201cTake my advice, and rest quietly.At such n time as this we do not stick at trifles.\u201d \u201cWho can the woman be?\u201d asked Marilin of herself, \u201cWhat a strange thing for a female to be mixed up iv such an affair!\u201d .More dreny minutes passed: how many she could not have told.She wus dreadfully cramped, and the cord hy which she wns [nstoned seemod biting into her very flesh.All ordioary thoughts were being gradually swal- owed up in u pain that with every mivute was becoming more unbearable.It was all that she could do to refrain from crying aloud.She bit her noder- lip in her agouy, nnd mosuned below hier breath ; but there was no one lo hear Wk.Suddenly, when her torture waa at the sharpesl, thera flashod into lier brain a thought so startling, so unexpected, that for à momont her every puin was deadened in the rush of utter suprise with which it overwhelmed her.There lind been revealed to her at one glance a sure and speedy mode of escape.She stood for a few seconds almost breathless, trying to steady her brain.Yes: there it was before Ler very eyes, a sure and speedy wode of cacape, but not & painless ove.Auy thing but a painless one, indeed, but still one that must be carried out nt all costs to lier- self, She was in torture already ; and that other torture which she must uu- dergo lor the sake of liberty might be sharper, perhaps, but it would soon be over, But she would not give herself time to argue the point.lest her courage should fail her.She would put herself Lo the immediate proof.The pillar to which Martha wus tied was within a yard of the desk that had been broken opeu.Close to the edge of this desk was the upright gas.pipe from which sprang the small jet, still alight, of which mention has already been made, By stretching out her arms Martha could reach this jet, She could do more than that; she could hold her wrists over it, nod Jet the flame burn away the band by which they were fastened together; and her hands once at liberty, the rest would quickly follow.This was the method of escape that had flashed like an iu- spiration across her brain ; aud she now proceeded to put it in operation.She drew in her breath, and locked her teeth, and pushed out her hands with a quick movement, and so held them extended while the jet of flame played on her wrists and on the band that held them together.She shut her eyes involuntarily, and her cyebrows came together in a frown of agony.The tiny jet played lightly against the baod that held her, which presently burst into a flame.Even then she did not falter.Her arms might have heen made of steel, so fixed aud rigid were they, so steroly was she bent ou accomplishing the thing she had set -her- seif to do.In a few moments\u2014\u2014ma- ments that to her seemed\u2019 hours\u2014the blazing ligature gave way, curling itself swiftly back like a burning serpent, and her hands were free.Her Lands were free, and they fell helplessly by her sides.She gave utterance to & long sigh\u2014a sigh that was half a sob ; theo her chin dropped on her breast, and for a little while she knew nothing.; Martha's returo to her senses was quickened by the pain from which sho was still suffering.After one bewildered glance round she came back to a knowledge of her true situation, and of the peril that was still before her.Wiih a great effort of will she pulled herself together, and, despite her paiv, began, with quick and nimble fiogers, to unloosen ove of the knots in the cord by which she was fasiened.This offered no long opposition to her-efforts aud the first koot unloosened, the rest quickly followed, In - two.minutes more Marthe Backhouse was a free woman.A deep, silent thanksgiving went up from her \u2018heart as the last fold of cord dropped to the floor, | Cy She was ?casi d \u2018by.ber that for a little\u2019 while sl : Shi nod -|'what ought her ngxst:move to be?She \u2018thing to do, if such a-thing were p hough! except, how.free herself;

she protruded her head within the line of, light and looked.Her gaze went dowo the stono staircase and into the collar, \u2018I'he iron door at the fool of the sinirs had boen forced open, and the thisves: were now busy with the grent anfo ît- self.Various house-breaking iniple- ments were scattered about the floor.Ono of the men was busy with a crowbar, swathed in flannel, which he \"was usiug as a lever to force open one of the doors of the safe.The second man was busy drilling holes in another door, with a strange-looking implement the hke of which Martha had never sven before.\u2018The woman was lighting thems operations with a lamp.held aloft iv one of lor hands.All \u2018threes were standing with their bucks to the stair- cave.Martha's eyes took iu the entire picture at a glance.There was one thing besides which they took in\u2014to wit, the bunch of keys with which she had opened the dvor at the top of the stairs.This buuch of keys was now lying on the lauding w the bottom of the stairs, close to the iron door.Could she but*obtain pos- Hession of it she saw notonly à way of escape for herself, but à way by which the thieves might bo caught in their own trap.But to obtgin possession ol the keys without disturbing the thieves was the one difficult thing to do.- There was ouly one mode of obtaining them, and that was fo fetch them, But to do this unseen, nnd unheard seemed at the: first glance utterly impossible.At the second glance it seomed a little more feasible, but still à dungerous thing tu do.Nevertheless, she at once made up her mind that it must be attempjed.L'artupately the broken door at the foot of tho stairs had not been pushed quite back to the wall, in covsequonde \u2018of which its bulk intercepted part of the light of the lump held by the womno, so that thet pertion of the landing which was beliud the door lay in deep shadow, and this shadow extended itself in a narew strip from the bottom of the stairs to the top.It was down this strip of blackness, herself n moving shadow, that Martha vow Legnu to glide ou her dangerous errand.Fortunately her dress was a dark one, and lier feet were unshod.Her sole chauce of safety lny iu the fact of the three peuple below stairs being so inteutly occupied that they would neither see nor hear her ; and Martha judged that they were so cecupied, because, for thé/\u2019 lust few minutes, converBation among themselves had almost entirely ceased.The grand crisis of their labors was ab hand.) With her back aud hands pressed close to the wall, 80 ds Lo keep herself within ns small à space as possible, and with the skirts of her dress kept close about her, Martha begun to move slow-| ly down the stairs.7 Her face was very white, but filled with a fine resolution.From her pres ent position the inmates of the cellar |;

ove beivg a feeling of bitterness against our colouisl ueighbors for their supposed sympathy with the rebels during the war,\u2014the other that the restoration of free trade will prejudice the markets of the West, Neither of these objections ean hold ground upou sound reasoning As we are engaged in uegotiation for the settlement of the Alabama claims, in the light of policy is it not well to extend the olive brarch, when and where it can be done without the saeri- fice of dignity, and would vot this approach ou our part to the former rela- tious with the Auglo-Americar Provive- es uid greatly iv bringing about the desired result ?As to the secoud objection, it would be dillicult to show adletriment to our Westeru States by placing the Canadas aud the Provinces ov their former commercial footing with the Uuited States.We are in every esseu- tial sense the legitimate market for the agricultural, mineral, and commercial products of the Canndas aud the Provinces,\u2014for their grains, their four, their coal and their fish.Senator Morrill on Reciprocity.The Vermont Senator objects to any Treaty of Reciprocity with Caoada.\u2014 There are but few sections of our Union that seriously object to such a treaty, and Vermont is one of them.\u2014 Vermout sends us wool, dairy products und horses, aod naturally objects to any rivalry ju these brauches of trade.A few owners of timber land also object to the removal of a duty on timber, which enubles them to add twenty-five per cent.to all the timber they can furnish.aod muke haste to strip the country of its pines and spruce trees before the duty is repealed.A few owners of coal land, not content with the growing market for their anthracite which the States und Provinces afford, and the limited use of Provincial coul iu furnaces and gas-works, put in a weak protest against a (reaty, while those who have studied the subject rod are free from any local bias, concur in the opinion that some Lreaty is essentikl tu revive our lisheries, exteud the sale of our manufnetures, to check the immense amount of smugsling oo our froutier by assimilation of duties and to reduce the cost of food and fuel.Lt may Le that we have in the last year drawn a few millious from taxes of twenty to thirty per cent.chiefly ou coul, lumber aud barley, but we draw two-thirds of it, not from the Canadi- aos, but {row our own people, aud have at least quintupled the tax our people pay ou them, by increasing to a like extent the price they are obliged.to pay for our lnmber, barley and other ve- cessaries.Mr.Morrill, however, while he favors his constituents by objecting to a treaty, is too able and sagacious a statesman to present their real objec tions to the measure, and wisely makes uo allusion to them.He takes other aod very different ground.He suggests that it is impolitic for this country to hamper itself with & treaty that hus no elasticity aud to tie its hands with respect to duties, so that it camuot impose them in any emergency, and he appeals, too, to that watchful jealousy with which one branch of Congress guards ite franchises, more especially its right to originate revenue bills noder the Constitution, and argues that this right should vever be surrendered to the treaty makiug powers, This shows great sagacity, and is a side blow at a than a direct attack.But canuot this blow, desigaed ss à coup de grace, be effectually parried ?Mr.Morrill concedes, what is all important, that our fisheries are a great interest ;

and, as I trust, with commeosurate advantage to the coua- try.\"rhe regulations as to the cutting of timber on the lands of the Crowu have received the earnest attention of my Government ; and 1 have deemed it my duty to sauctiou certain changes of system calculated to secure a more prudent management of out forest resources, and ap increase of the revenue, without injury to the real interests of this important brauch of trade.1 am happy to see the great progress made by the agricultural and manufacturing iodustries of the Province; aud when I visited the Provincial Exhibition et Montreal, I could uot fail to observe the lively interest taken by all classes of society iu the development of these two greal sources of prosperity.The Constitution having assigned the matter of Immigration to the concurrent \u2018action of the Federal and Local Gov- erninents, my Government, in concert with these of Oatario and New Bruus- wick, has couferred as to it with the Federal Government.Ihave reason to hope that the result of our joint efforts will tend to increase the.prosperity of all the Provinces.oudjery, cotton goods, boots, shoep, the country material resources, #4 from you with this view.| R 5 | Bonorable Gentlemen fi ft Council, Gentlemen af the Legislative disomy.;

and the subject is so intimately counected with that of the settlement of our wild lands, as to call for your most favorable atten- ion.The general revision of the Railway Act, in reference not ouly to this class of Railways, but also to all others to be constructed onder the Provincial Charter, may advantageously receive consideration at your hands, The revision of our Jury Law, aud of some portions of our Schoo! Laws, as also other matters couvected with the administration of Justice and the better orgauization of our Proviucial system, will no doubt receive their share of your attention.In the discussion of (hese matters, and of whatever other subjects may xeem to you to be worthy of attention, [ do vot doubt that you will be animated by that spirit of loyalty aud devotion to our Gracious Sovereign which has heretofore distingnished you, and that you will show yourselves sincerely altached to our uew institutions, aod æuxious to maiutain harmony aud goodwill os between all the various classes of our community.I pray earvestly that Divine Providence may bless your efforts, and that your labors may be crowned with all success.\u2014\u2014_\u2014eé éme ere From Quebec.Quesec, Jau.22.A deputation from the Montreal Corporation is shortly expected here to look after the proposed amendments to the city charter.In the House, to-day Mr.Murchand, of St.Joho, presented eleven petitions from French Canadians iv many parts of the Northern States, praying the Legislature, in case they should conclude to return to Cauada, to place them on the same fouling with regard to settlement on wild lands in the couv- try as that now ocenpied by Europeau immigrants, aud give them an opportu- vity of adopting measures to develop agricultural, manufacturing, and ivdus- trial resources of the Proviuce.The petitions contain about 3000 signatures, representing fully 10,000 souls, nud was reccived with applause.After some discussion, regarding the receipt of of some other petitions, involving mouey grants, on motion of Mr.Chaveau, un special committee was uamed to strike standing committees, the intention, he said, being to re-ap- point commitices ns far ns \u2018possible, as they stood Inst session.Mr.Duukiu gave notice for Tuesday, to consider His Excelleuey\u2019s veply, as the first formal step to going into Committee of Supply.Mr, Chauveau gave notice, for the same day, to introduce a bill, providing tor the indpeudeuce of members.The House adjoursed at half-past | three to Monday.Quesec, Jan.25.Assembly to-day, Mr.Joly presented the first petition for the incorporation of a wooden railway, the Quebec and Gosford Company.Mr.Ogilvie presented one from the Ladins\u2019 Beuev oleut Society of Montreal, asking an increased grant, Mr.Ouimet presented a number from other charitable societies in Montreal, with the same prayer, Mr.Chauvean responded to His Excellency's reply to the address, thaukiug the House for the expressions of loyalty aud promptitude in attending to busi- Dess, Ou motion of Mr.Chauveau the Standing Committees named last year, be only changed by Mr.Dumoulin ro- placing Mr.DeNiverville, Mr Lange- vin, added to the Railways, aod Mr.Marchand to the Colunization.Joiut Committees on printing and library, and especially to secure correct and grammatical trauslations of the House documents to be also named.The House adjourued at balf-past three.In the House of \u2014 The Coos (N.§H.)
