5lh. The several kinds of soil to be

and also at the conclusion of the expert.
ments, discriminating carefully between
each acre"
There was, it appears, only one person
who made experiments the late j, F.
Osburu, Port Bryan, Cayuga county, New
York, who is represented in the transac
lions Of The So"iety as a most systematic
and careful farmer; and he only lived to
make one years experiments, the account
of which is thus given:
"Mr Osburn commenced his expert
ments on three acres of land, the soil of
which was gravelly loan, with a clay
subsoil from eight to sixteen inches be-
low the soil.
On the first acre he put ten cords of
barn yard manure; hauled it on while
wet, and spread it as he was ready to
plough it under.
On the second acre there was no ma
nure.
On the third he put eight cords of barn
yard manure, half or two-lhrids rotted i,
aud ,four loads of muck, cleaned out of a
ditch, spread on as drawn.
The three acres were ploughed as
nearly alike as practicable, from six to
eight inches deep, and all rolled and
dragged before planting. The Corn was
planted II to 2 feet distant in the rows,
with stalks in hill.
The yield of Corn was as follows:
On the first acre, ll39 bushels of she'll
corn weighed 594 lbs. to the bushel.-
Stalls, when dry, weighed 1862 pounds.
The second acre had $50 bushels she'll
ed corn 5S4 lbs. to the bushel, and 1900
lbs of stalks, and seventeen bushels of
turnips.
The third acre 81 bushels of shelled
earn, SO lbs. to the bushel, and $500 lbs.
of stalks.
Mr.. Osburn's son continued the expe-
rimenls Of his father, in 1S47, with the fol-
lowing results: ,,...I
The first acre, which had ten cords un-
fermented MANURE, yielded one hundred
and twelve bushels oats.

began To think that the homage Of a spirit
like his was thing not 10 be despised;
and she felt something like the palpita-

herself respecting his intentions.
Such was the train Of thought which,
one evening, as it is often the case. she
was interrupted by a call from the very
person who had been its cause. Hour
after hour passed by that night, and still
David fingered. He could not tear him
self away. She was most fascinating
creature, thought he, aud as good as she
is beautiful. Can she ever be mlnel
Aud cloud came over his fine features,
andhe SAT for moment in silence. "This
suspense must be ended" said he to him.
seIfa the clock struck eleven.
"You will certainly think me insuffera.

yet but a deserved tribute to your worth.
And he popped the question.
The lady did not swoon or turn pale
But flush of qualification passed over
her face, and lighted her eye for mo-

She frankly gave him her hand, and
looked up archIy in his face-"The friend

she, David blushed, )"cannot fail to make
