RENOVATION OF MOVING FIELDS.

John F. Pond ESQ., of this town, has made some
interesting and successful experiments in the rem
ovation of moving lands, without the usual pro-
cess of cultivating with other crops, some OF which
we shall occasionally lay before our readers.
In July, 1874, on a lot of about three acres,
which had been laid down for about ten years,
the crop of grass was so light that he determined
to plough it up. Accordingly, in August, he
turned the sward over as smoothly as possible,
and, in the latter part of the month sowed grass
seed, narrowed it, and rolled the land down, but,
owing to its not having been sufficiently harrow
ed, twas not rolled down so smooth as it ought to
have been. The September following was very
dry, and consequently unfavorable to the germ-
nation and growth of the grass seed.
This year, although readers are aware,
the season has been very dry and unfavorable for
grass, the crop Of hay upon the field has been
about double that of last year and the extra yield
is more than sufficient to pay all the expense Of
the operation 1t now looks well, and bids fair to
give an increased crop the next year.
We are pleased with the opportunity of laying
the results of such experiments before the public.
There can be no doubt, that in the present case,
if there had been good dressing OF manure, it
would have added greatly to the benefit derived
from the operation. But this experiment shows
that those who have not manure to put upon their
out fields, need not be deferred from attempt
ing their renovation, but they may, by the simple
process here detailed improve their old moving
lots to profit, adding to the quantity OF their hay,
and thereby furnishing themselves with an in
creased supply of manure for further and still
more profitable Improvements.

genteel dress for such an occasion. But had
rather go with calm consciousness of having
done my duty, than without it, to appear in the
attire of queen.
&c The dear girl spoke with an earnestness that
made her cheek glow and her eye brighten.
thought had never seen her face wear so lovely
an expression. True to her resolution, she went
over to Mrs Bender's and remained with her all
night. Her dress could not, of course, be fin
ished, and that was not all. An attack of sick
headache, was the consequence, the effects of
which, upon her appearance, you all observed to-

&c Admirable girl!' murmured Alton to him
self as Mrs Hinton ceased speaking. Sc How far
beautiful is truly good self-sacrificing ac-
ton, than all the exterior graces that art can put
on
AS he said this, he looked up and his eye fell
upon the belle of the evening, Martha Green.
But, like magic faded all her exterior loneliness
as he compared it with the moral beauty of the
other. He sought not her side again, and left the
company as soon as he could do so with propriety.
The next evening found him at the dwelling
of Ellen, in whose very look and tone, he now
perceived a new attraction and in every move
ment new grace. He soon yielded his heart
to the power of virtues unperceived and unfelt
before; virtues, whose bloom and fragrance time
