sonable unreasonable, let rejoice that warmer

Srupy THE So1Ls.-It is well known to every
one that there is vast difference in the nature and
qualities of Soils Soils differ not only in different
parts of country-but in different farms, and even
different parts Of the same farm. And nothing Ia
more material, or necessary, to those who wish to
cultivate the soil to some useful purpose, than
thorough and accurate knowledge of the nature and
Qualities of the several kinds of soil contained within
their farms, and the judgment and skill to adapt their
crops accordingly.
For want of such knowledge and skill, it is some-
times the case, that man will select the most I'M
suitable pieces of his ground for certain kinds Of
crops, and when disappointment in harvest takes
place. the natural consequence Of his folly, he COM

Providence But if the farmer will do his part with
adue depree of care and attention, Providence will
almost always smile upon him The fostering breezes

and the genial warmth OF the sun will temper all
into the perfect year.

WEARING OUT SoIL.-It is an idea conceived IN
profound ignorance, that the soils of a country must

sarily improve How is it in England, in France In
Germany and Italy? portion OF these countries

This has been effected by rotation OF crops
