Planning.— The siisi>t:ious, systematic fanner 

 will avail himself of llie opportiiuily affonle.l 

 by the leisuiv. of winter, to plan o|ii;ralioMS to hi; 

 carried out the coirjiiit.' season. In this prar- 

 licc lies the the secret oC iiiaiiy a fanner's thrill, 

 us well as many a farmer's jid-thrift. 



The ilevi.sin^' anil perfectinj; of plans before 

 attempting unilertaUin^'s, is as important ami as 

 useful to the farmer in his bni.-'nes.'i, as to the 

 military chieftain in his, and is as sure to con- 

 duce to the success anil fame of the lormer as 

 the latter. The characterivics winch made 

 Wa»hinf;ton a ureal General, made him also, a 

 cood farmer.— anil foremost of thetse were ener- 

 gy and forethought— the head to plan, and the 

 nini to Bxecule. ,11 



Plans for improvements on the farm slioum 

 not oidy be devised in a reason of leisure hut 

 comnntted to paper-considered, reoonside.ed, 

 and placed in the order of lime at which ihey 

 will have to be e.\ecuted. 



This practice, if universally adopted, wonhl 

 tend to the accomplishment of many impruve- 

 menis which from year to year are nnatlempied, 

 merely for the want of forethou-hi.— .V. E. tar-

Orchard Caterpillars. — These plagues, 

 that have of late years become so nnnierous and 

 destructive by loftiation, in our .section, can now 

 be destroyed easily, when pruning' is },'oin^' on, 

 scions ciutin;.', &c. The eg'.'S are now seen on 

 the liirihs of the trees, deposited in rings aiound 

 them. The riuijs are of a brownish grey color, 

 from a quarter ^o half an inch long, and each 

 ccintains -^00 to 400 eggs. Suppose a tree to 

 conluin 20 of these rings (and some have more,) 

 there tire 8,000 caterpillars, with ravenous appe- 

 tites ready to devour the foliage of your trees as 

 soon !is it makes its appearance. Go to work 

 now, and look sharply for these t^^-i pick them

Meteorological observations at Concord, 

 BY A. CIIANDL.ER. 



I'aoGRESS OF I.NVE.NTiON.- A distinguished 

 firmer of Knglaiid, has invented what he terms 

 a ho-^'s /iea(/;)/oitg-/t— designed fortuniing out po- 

 taloes that are planted in drills, without hurting 

 them. It resembles a ling's snnut attached to the 

 front part ofa |)loiigh s\ithout a coulter, hy which 

 the potatoes are raised and turned out of their 

 bed. This may be called copying nature— for in 

 this way swine turn out the crop. 



"Fever and Ague."— Mr. Rowe, in one of his 

 letters to the Belfast Journal, written from Wisconsin, 

 gives the following very excellent account of the " sen- 

 sations " experienced hy a person under the operation 

 of this epideniic : 



A person trouhled with it will get up in the niorning 

 and feel as well as he ever did, and perhaps in an hour 

 after, in the hottest days of suninier, will begin to giow 

 cold, his skin will assume a yellowish pale color iiii.\ed 

 up with bine, his blood will settle under his finger nails, 

 like that of a dying person, and in ten minutes he will 

 tremble and shake so with cold that if his boots do not 

 fit him particularly well, he will be very apt to shake 

 out of them. Should he try to warm himself by the 

 fire he finds that the more wood there is piled on, the 

 colder he grows. He finally becomes sick at the stom- 

 ach, and obliged to go to bed, where he is at it wi-re, 

 surrounded with ice for about an hour. Then the chills 

 gradually leave him, the trembling ceases and warmth 

 hy degrees prevades ihe body. But instead of stop- 

 ping when the limbs assumed their natural heat, it con- 

 tinues to increase until the blood almost boils in the 

 veins; the brain throbs as if it would burst; the sick 

 headache comes on; the pulse is rapid and irregular, 

 and the eyes roll so in the head that you would think 

 the person could not live half an hour. But he is far 

 from being at the point of death. The fever continues 

 about an hour, and then leaves him a good deal weak- 

 end, but as well as ever. I have known persons whom, 

 to look at, you would have said, had they appeared so 

 in New England, to be in a tit of severe sickness, and 

 would not leave their beds for months, if ever,^ in half 

 an hour after get up and go toa ball, — and a " Sucker" 

 [Illinois] ball at that, where one who cannot dance 

 from 3 o'clock, 1'. M., until the next morning at break- 

 fast, is considered nobody at all.

Potato Rot— A ctTiitous fact.— In the latter 

 part of the summer of 1844, a furiner of the 

 township of Lincoln, Aihlisun county, Vermont, 

 was quite behind all his neighbors in cnlting his 

 grass in his meadow.-. At night some waggish 

 boys went into one of his meadows nnd cut down 

 all ihe grass in it. They also went into bis po- 

 tato patch and rut a few swailis through it.- 

 When the time came liir tlii-'giiig, his potatoes 

 were foiiinl piiiieipally rotted except whtre the 

 hoys had mowed off Ihe tops. 'I'liuse were found to 

 be sound and goocl. 



This experiment would seem to show, that the 

 rot or disease begins in the tops; and suggests, 

 ii» II means of savini; a crop, to npply the scythe 

 as soon as the tops begin to die. 



SiiPEP. — Sheep should not run or be fed with 

 any mher stock. Cuttle hook lliem, colts tense 

 otiil cifieii iiijiire injure them. It is often said thai 

 "colls will pick up what sheep leave." Well 

 managed sheep rarely leave anything— and iftbc'V 

 chance to, it is belier to rake it up and throw it 

 into the colls' yard, than to feed them together.
