FURTHER EXTENSION Of STEAM NAyI-

late English papers it would seem that Eng

her already extended chain Of steam nayi.
cation.
The English merchants connected with
Australia, New Zealand, &C., are forming
plans for a%yailing themselves Of the West
India steamships. The former place is
about 10000 miles from England, taking
from a hundred to a hundred and twenty
days for the fastest vessels to accomplish
the voyage; but the ADORE named steamers
call at Chagres and Porto Bello twice every
month, being 1900 miles from England,
in twenty-five days. From Chagres goods
and passengers are to be passed over the
isthmus of Panama, thence to Cruces, and
on to Port Nicholson, by steam, 6,2s5
miles more, occupying twenty-six days, and
from the latter plaGeto Sydney, | ass miles
further, in Eve days thus completing the
transit from the mother country, in about
ffty-six days, all but a saving Of one half
the usual time under the most favorable
auspices.

A pretty deer is dear to me,
A hare has downy hair
lev a hart with all my heart,
But who can bear a bear?
'Tis plum that no one takes aphnc
To pare a pair of pears,
A rake, though, often takes a rake
And tears away the fares
That grow a gruin against a grain,
Not caring for his cares.

For rite, nor wrtte are either right,
And don't TO Wright belong,
Beer often brings a bier to man
Coughing a ce0in brings;

That person lies who says he lies
When he is but reclining;
And, when consumptive folks decline,
They all decline declining.

OF THE INTERCHANGE OF CROPS, AND OF

~ MANURES.
It has long since been found by expe-
rience, that the growth of annual plants is
rendered imperfect, and their crops OF fruit or
herbs less abundant, by cultivating them in
successive years on the same soil, and that,
in spite of the loss of time, a greater quantity
of grain is obtained when a field is allowed to
be uncultiyated forsa gear. During this in
~tesval of rest, the coil, in a great measure,
'regaining its original fertility.
1t has been further observed, that certain
plants, such as peas, clover, and flax, thrive
on the same soil only after a lapse of years !;
whilst others, such as hemp, tobacco, heliAn-
this .tuberosas, rye, and oats, may be. %cultiva-
ted in close SUCCESSION when proper manure
is used. 1t has also been found, that several
of these plants improve the soil, whilst others,
and these are the most numerous, impoverish
or exhaust it. Fallow turnips, cabbage, beet,
spelt, summer and winter barley, rye, and
oats, are considered to belong to the class
which impoyerish a soil whilst by wheat,
hops, madden, late %turnips, hemp. popies, tea
Sci, flax, weld, and licor ce,ait is supposed to
be entirely exhausted. )
The excrements of man and animals have
been employed from the earliest times for the
purpose of increasing the fertility of soils !;
and it lie completely established by allexpe-.
rience, that they restore certain constituents
to the soil which are removed with the roots,
fruit, or grain, or entire plants grown upon it.
But it has been observed that the crops are
not always abundant in proportion to the
quantity of manure empiayed, even although
it may have been of the most powerful kind !;
that the produce of many plants, for example,
diminishes. in spite of the apparent replace
ment of the substances renewed from the soil
by manure, when they are cultivated on the
same field for several years in succession.
On the other hand it has been remarked, that
a field which has become unified for a GER
tain kind Of plants was not on that account

horse dung, with a quart of unslacked lime:
then add some good INFLOW soil, and mix
it up well on the suface without disturbing
the horse dung at the bottom. The hills
may be made from SIX to eight feet apart;
for water MELONS, on rich, warm land,
where they grow most thrifty, nine feet is
near enough.

the plants become strong and thrifty, so as
to be out of danger, pull out the weakest,
