THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR. 
laiid lor beans, so as to admit the action of frost 
and air abundantly. A demurrer was instantly 
raised by a farmer present. Oh! we always 
plow shallow for beans. Weh, I know you do. 
Do you ever double-spit your gardens'? Ob, 
certainly we do. Do you ever grow beans in 
your garden ■? To be sure, capital ones. What, 
and that on double dug ground'? Impossible, 
surely. It would puzzle a conjurer to tell why 
a farmer always digs his garden 20 inches and 
plows his land only 5 inches. Docks, this- 
tles, couch, and other strong, deep rooted weeds 
are not to be found in his garden. What rea- 
son can a farmer give lor drilling his beans at 
7 inches in his field and 27 in his garden ? Does 
the former mode give him a larger or earlier 
produce? Again, a farmer will caution you 
against sitting in a draught, or lying in a damp 
bed — of course, he takes care not to do so him- 
self, and recommends it to his friends, but pur- 
sues an entirely different plan with his cattle. 
They must be exposed to both, as if their sensa- 
tions and pnysiology differed in that respect 
from our own. Let us keep our cattle warm, 
dry and well fed, and we shall seldom feel the 
cramp in our pockets . — Chelmsford Chronicle. 
Cruelty to Animals. — In Henry Colman’s 
first Report on European Agriculture, there oc- 
curs a passage which does honor to the heart of 
the writer, and is worth the subscription money 
of the whole work. Alter speaking of the aqua- 
tic birds kept on the artificial lakes in the Parks 
of London, the protection there afforded to their 
lives and the consequent lameness of the birds, 
he continues, “Man, in general, is a great 
savage, and a ferocious beast of prey. He 
makes continual war upon many of the ani- 
mals below him, not for subsistence mere- 
ly, but for pleasure. His conduct towards 
the brute creation shows, too often, how certain 
he is to abuse unlimited power, and conveys 
a strong argument against despotic authority. 
Indeed, his war upon the birds merely as a 
matter of sport, always makes me look upon 
him with a degree of shuddering, and feel that 
a man who can find his pleasure in the wanton 
destruction of little birds, the mosr humble of 
all animals in their claims, the most delicate, 
innocent and pure in all their tastes and habits, 
and comparatively useless for food, puts him- 
self beyond the pale of humanity, and could 
scarcely, with safety, be trusted with a child. 
It were worth considering always how many of 
our pleasures are purchased at a most bitter ex- 
pense of happiness and life to others! Two or 
three days coursing, manly and healthful as the 
exercise on horseback undoubtedly is, and 
strongly exciting as the sport is, did not quite 
reconcile me to it; and the wailings and shriek- 
ings of the affrighted and dyin? bares in the 
jaws of the hounds, sounded in my ears for se- 
veral days afterwards like the cries ol expiring 
children.-r-Sos/mt Cidlivator.
