PLANS FOR THE SEASON.

What are you intending to do on your
farm the coming season? You mean, no
doubt, to sow grain, plant corn and potato
es, &c. You know where you shall sow,
and on what land you shall plant. Very
well so far. But this is not enough.
You ought now to have thought of the
peculiar properties of the soil Of each lol
on which you are to operate, and to have
Judged what kind of-crop is best suited T.
each particular lot and to the crop that is to
grow upon il. You should know too, how
many loads OF manure you can spare TO
each nelo' probably. BY load we mean
about As cubic feet. or one third of the
Sord q 10 ieet. These general points
should be sellled, before the sprino work
commences. The outlines Of ihe Season.
work should be well defined and d;s,;,,.,
in the mind. For then you may rive A..
rcciions 10 others with prompness or Won
may go on resolutely with the work. If
you are doing il with your own hands.
You can tell as well now as in April
what ktnd Of grain will probably do best
on the Iaud you intend to lay down-you
can tell how much and what kind Of rass
seedyou shal want. These things should
be obtained IN good season, before the
spring work drives.
You know very well that your unmix-
ed barn and hog manure has never lasted
long on that plain field where you inlend

loose. that such manures there deeompose
very rapidly, and though they nourish the

From the N. E. Farmer.
FARM woRK-FUEL-PRUNING.

FARM woRK-FUEL-PRUN
The usual time for active commence.
ment Of field labors in this vicinity, is
ABOUT the hrst week in April. Previous
to that time, the fuel for the year should
be collected and worked up. The winter
has been so mild, that many of the swamps
from which wood is usually taken in the
winter, have not been firmly frozen, and
the absence Of snow has rendered many
other wood lots inaccessible. The quaint.
ity of fuel collected around the farm.houses
now, is probably much less than is usual
at this season of the year. There NAV
be opportunity 10 use The sled vet; and
there probable will be. But good shedding
is not to be expected. On many farms il
will be well to give the old apple trees
the old forest trees in pastures and around
felds-lhe willows by the brook, &c. &C.,
a thorough pruning. BY this course,
much good summer fuel may be procured.
And though it may be better for the trees
to prune in May than in March, yet since
the labor can be much better spared now
than alter the planting season comes on,
we advise farmers TO be trimming the trees,
collecting the brush, and working it up

cessible to the poor as we'll as the rich,

Constitution of man as one of the finest

crop well in the early part OF the season,
they fail in the latter part OF summer.
Whatever manure Of this kind you put on
that field, should be mixed with good
supply of swamp muck that has been
frozen or dried, or with clay, or both, and
into the compost. should be put ashes, lime,
or plaster, according as the one or the
other is found most useful TO your soil.
Such compost we'll worked into your
porous land, will be more enduring than
pure dung. Here the whole should be
spread, and the crop should not be hilled.
But you know equally we'll that the slop,
ing lot near the foot ofthe hill, which you
intend to plant is cold, and that the man,
ure does not work well ia the early parl
of the season here the meadow mud OF
muck would imbibe too much moisture,
and would not undergo decomposition
with sufficient readiness to make it valu,
able. This soil being liable to become lum.
py and be covered with hard crust, needs
something to make It more friable fine
gravel or sand will do this; and your
manures for this lot will be better if com.
posted with these articles, than if mixed
with heavy soil or loan, or with muck. A
compost half dung and halffine gravel, will
be better on heavy, tenacious soils, and on
peat meadows, than pure dung. On the
cold soil now referred TO, the manure
should be kept near the surface and some
Of il put in the hill. r.
If you intend to put potatoes on any por
ton of this heavy soil, you may put the
compost of dung and gravel in the hill
but put in the hill also, something thai
will give the potatoes loose and airy bed
Butt stalks of Indian corn, old potato vines
rotten chips, fine brush, brakes, ferns, or
any thing Of the kind will answer the
purpose.
Ii you are to put potatoes on light and
porous soil, these substances are not SC
needful IN the hill, but on it they would
be Of great service. Also a sprinkling o
salt and lime-two parts of lime and one
of salt, which had been mixed for severa
weeks, will be of great service either in OF
on the hill, for this is one of the most cool
| ing applications that can be made to the
earth.-I5.

II have paid some attention to the I'm.
fermented Juice of the Grape, which Mr..

and DELICIOUS article, and evidently free
from that lOaedening quality which, in
fer1ented wines, is so destructive TO
souls and bodies of men. lift can be gen.
orally introduced into the churches, so that
the people of God shall no longer in this
holy ordinance contribute to the suppor
OF alcoholic manufactures, a great and i'm
portant advance will be made in the cause
of temperance; an advance now loudly
called for the reform of more than 10000

+" Fruit of the Vine" free from the poison

TIE STORM.

mr.. J. JEFFERSON.
mUrrERIKe roar, a rumblng, fearful sound,
SweIIs on the air and quakes along the ground,
And in yon pitchy cloud, just reard above
Tn horizons verge, pale fires begin to move;
The varying winds, in short, uncertain way,
Seem now to threat, and now they gently play
The waves break rndely on the pebbled strand,
And hollow murmurs whisper through the land.
Anon the breeze concentrates all its force,
And from the darkening West holds even source
Light scuds fly swift before the roaring wind,
Precursors Of the fearful storm behind
The tall trees stoop beneath the rushing blast,
Firm be the roots that now will hold them fast ~
The white foam dances on the green waves crest,
And gathering darkness all the skies invest.
Wide and more wide the pitchy cloud extends,
Till sea with sky in wild confusion blends;
Fierce and more fierce the Iurid lightnings fash,
And louder still the mighty thunders crash;
The mad tornado shakes the groaning globe,
And clothes the tempest in its dusty robe
A secret awe comes DER each breathing form,
And vocal Nature, silent, waits the Storm.
Look forth, and in the dread uproar behold
How vain is now all power Of mortal mould!
Who shall control the tempest at his will,
And to The surging waves say Peace be stll1
Who shall confne the wind, or bid it ly,
Or roll the black cloud down the Western sky?
He, only He, who gave to each form,
Treads the wild wave, and rides upon the Storm.
Now through the arch Of Heaven red lightnings
play,
And crashing thunders roll along their way
Blinded each eye, and stunn'd is every ear,
And Wanting mortals quake from coward fear
While from the o'erchang'd clouds comes driven
amain, Fl:
In copious showers, the long-expected rain,
Floods the parch'd Earth relieves the burden'd air
And makes the face of Nature doubly fair.
Swept to the East, the drenching shower has
pass'd- ...,
70 gentle zephyrs sinks the roaring blast
Ger all the West appears the ether bright
The unchanged sun bursts full upon the sight
The mighty waves in gentle ripples die,
And mirror back the lovely, calm, blue sky
And where the rain-drop with the sunbeam blends
The brilliant bow its baseless arch extends.
Thus when deep troubles press upon the soul,
The waves Of Life in maddend tumut roll
Wild passions flash in terror from the eve,
And Virtue, Truth and Love the conflict fly
Hates thund'riDg voice browns every bette
thought,
/. Till, to the utmost verge Of suf ring brought,
The soul for aid on Calvary's Martyr calls,
And Ger the Storm q sudden calmness falls.

reach of their medicines. In the spring

prised to find so sudden and efectual re-
