Agricultural Philosophy. There is no great succe s in farming without hard ? ork ; but it is the gooc. thinking , that costs, not 'the plodding alone. A is u hill b tsiness to go against the judgment f all your neighbors, but if you are sure you are right, go ahead, no matter- wh t the say. The servant is not above hi macmaster in industry ; the farmer must b able to lea in the field, and know whe her a man doing good work, and th wo an must know_ that he knows What de?,work is. I said forty year ago that j would use plaster if it cost me $40 a to ; but clover and plaster al ne' wilh not, keep ` up the fertility of grai • far s. hien 1 see a man draining is' fa m an carting out notable piles o we -rotted manure, I consider him afe. He I can borrow money to make improvements, and 'the sheriff will not ften tie up I at his hitch- ing post. Whe the'dge demands an early harvest, or the round is so rich that the straw falls, I have almost saved a crop by sowin' salt.` Farmers miss it by giving up th old %7orm fence.

An Arkansas correspondent of the Scientific Americ to says: I carne here thirty years sin, e, and, began clearing land and buildi g houses with hewn logs and boards s 'lit from the tree. Af- ter several years esidence, 'noticed very often that piece: of the sane kind of timber decayed= re quickly than others, and after m'ich t a oughtand observation, I came to the con+lusion that timber fell- ed after the leaf as I y grown lasted the longest. I no iced at timber felled when the leaf firs cora enced --to grow rotted the sap offs very quickly, but the heart remained • sound ; that timber fell- ed after the fall of the leaf rotted in the heart, even when �.. appa ently sound on the outside. When fire wood cut in the winter was put on, the fi e, the sap came out of the heart ; but - 'hen cut in the summer the sap carne • ut` of the sap wood, and next the b rk.

I saw yesterday a piece of gum fllank, which I sawed in the summer of 859, that has lam ever since, and, is p •rfectly sound, while oak timber that was elled the win- ter before is now entirely otters. My conclusion th' n is Cut timber after full leaf, say i Jul and August, to get the most las from it. The sap goes into the heart if the tree after leaf fall, and causes deca PORK -RAISING.— correspondent of the Germantown Tel raphfwrites : "My own theory of pork7 aisin based upon experience, observati . n, an probably a little philosophy of t, ings, written for the benefit of others would,j be- about, as follows : Daring the hot suinmer months I would feed very li le sold feed, such as corn in the ear or untracked. I would keep hogs upon green feed constantly, either grass, oats, or rye, and feed them at regular intervals, 'Owe oe twice a day, upon mashed feed, either shorts, chopped oats, or rye, buckwheat, !&c., fed in troughs. When fecl. in this way, and al- lowed access to water and: shade, hogs will bear crowding through the hot months—a very good ' time, if not the st to take on . flesh. This puts them n the best of condition for corn feeding, hich should commenee about the first f September, 'when the' new. crop is till soft and tender. Treated in this way, hogs become probably as perfect as any method could make them. Upon, the whole, I believe.it the cheapest and most economical."
