off that which first comes up before it

shelter to the succeeding crop, and
that in its turn falls before the hungry

are effectually killed out, and nothing

to keep his cattle till the grass has fair:

PASTURES

Sir.-It is now general opinion,
and believe well-founded one, that
old pastures, if they have been well
used, and are in good condition, are
better than new ones. The reason OF
it | take to be this. The different kinds
of grass are numerous, and spring up
and come to maturity at very different
times. In new pastures there are one
or two different kinds, and by being fed
down as soon as they come up, and
being kept short, the growth OF the
grass is checked, and no other kinds
spring up in sufficient quantities to
supply their place. But in old pastures
the different kinds of grass natural to
the soil have been introduced, and when
one is consumed, the others grow up
10 supply its place. The constant 70.
tation thus produced, at all tines gives
sufficient nutriment to the animals pas
tured upon it, if it is not overstocked
But in order that this system should
have its effect, judicious management,
is necessary. If the cattle are turned
into it too early in the spring, they eat

There is no one thing that is so i'm

choice of company every thing in

The dashing rakes and dissipated tops
may have their allurements, but above
all things, young men beware OF them
They entice but to ruin, and he who is
weak enough to be led into their snares
may be sure of meeting with nothing
but disappointment, chagrin, the loss
of health, and an empty purse. There
fore it is Of the greasest consequence,
to choose suitable companions to asso-
ciate with.
Many imagine that they shall not be
considered gentlemen without they

of wine, and smoke their dozen OF Sc

TIME subscribers have received supply
Il of this celebrated Harrow, now gene
rally used in the cultivation of corn, and
which has, in a great measure, superseded
the use of the hoe, through Pennsylvania and
parts of the adjoining states; and, it is be-
lieved, may be used with great advantage in
the cultivation of tobacco and cotton, as
well as corn. Planters can be supplied with
this Harrow at moderate price, on applica-

SOAKING SEED CORN.

The practice Of soaking seed corn in
copperas water, Immediately before
planting, has been recommended by
several farmers. The advantages of
this process are the accelerating ofveg-
citation and the preventing Of the de-
struction Of the plant in its earlier sta
ges by worms, sc. The first is de-
sirable object; the latter is highly i'm
portant. The experiment may be made
with little trouble and expense, and we
hope our farmers generally will be in
duced to try it. An ounce of copperas
is allowed to every quart Of seed. 1t
should be stepped about "a hours.
Perhaps grain might be equally benefi
ted by the same treatment.

PRUNING APPLE TREES.

/ beg leave through the medium OF
your paper, to offer few hints to my
brother farmers on the importance Of
pruning their fruit trees. 1t has been
more neglected here, than in any Sec
ton of the United States which / have
visited. The fruit that grows in the
shade where the sun does not come,
nor the air circulate freely, is vapid
and tasteless; and it must be obvious to
every one, that the cider made from
such apples is not so rich and good as
that made from fruit that has had the
benefit of the sun and air while grow
ing. Pruning trees, if done properly,
makes them healthy and long lived.
Great care should be taken to cut off
the dead limbs, and those that cross O.
theirs, close, and in such manner as to
leave the wood smooth, that there may
be no place for the water TO settle and
make it rot. If it is found necessary
to cut large limbs, composition made
of rosin, beeswax and tallow, OF equal
parts simmered together is very good
10 put OH the wound. 1t would be
well to take a small sharp hoe, and
carefully scrape the rough bark from
the trunk ofthe tree and the limbs, as
far as you can reach, and cut up all
sprouts around the trees. 1t is consid-
cred of SO much importance in France,
to remove the sprout from around the
trees, that French gentleman inform
ed me that if any man was so slack, as
not to attend 10 it, the people, would
not trust him one dollar. Young trees
should be washed with soapsuds.
Take brush, such as is used to white
wash, or mop made Of wooden rags
on stick, dip it in soapsuds, and rub
the trees with it. About the middle
of June, take knife and slit the bark
on the north side carefully down not
so as to penetrate into the wood; but
on no account whitewash the young
trees; it dries and contracts the bark,
and is injurious to the trees

THE LONELY GRAVE.
There is a grave upon that sounding shore,
Where friends me- er met to mingle sympathies,
Where ne'er rose requiem, but yon cataract's
roar,
Nor wav'd its grass to friendships holy signs
No bending willow (sorrow's emblem) there,
Did ere affection nurture with her tears,
Nor evenings music lingering on the air,
Die DER this lonely tenantry of years.
Stern nature has supplied the forms ofwoe,
And thrown a sacred wildness DER the scene,
Mngling the din of waters ceaseless flow,
With the deep moan of yonder evergreen
When midnight silence hangs upon the spot,
And silver moon-beams dance upon the wave

A spirit Waterman keeps the s'lonely grave"
