Effects of Cropping upon the Soil.

May soil which Is naturally fertile be
rendered barren by continual croppage!
Yes. If the same kind of cropping be
carried on Tor long time, the land will
gradually become less and less productive
Give me an example. 1fthe same field
he cropped year after year with wheat or
oats, it will at last become unable to grow
either of these crops.
Why is this! Because these crops draw
certain substances from the soil in great
abundance and aitera number of years the
soil cannot furnish these substances in sutil-
cient quantities.
What substances does grain especially
draw from the soil! The grain of our corn
especially exhausts the soil of phosphoric
acid and of magnesia.
How would you remedy such special ex-
haustion? BY returning to the soil the
particular substances my crop had taken
out.
How could you return the phosphoric
acid for instance! would apply bone or
guano, or some other manure in which
phosphoric acid abounds.
But with any kind OF cropping may not
fertile soil at length be made an unpro-
ductive one? Yes. If the crops are car
ried off the land and if what they draw
from the soil is not restored to it.
How is this explained! Every croI
takes away from the soil a certain quantity
of those substances which all plants require
If you are always taking out OF purse il
will at last become empty.
Then you likcn exhausted land to al
empty purse9 Yes. The farmer take hi'
money out of the land in the form OF crop
and if he is always taking out and putting
nothing in, it must at last become empty
or exhausted.
But il he puts something into the sol
now and then, may he continued to cr.ol
it without cxhausting it! Yes If he
put in the proper substance in the prope
quantities and at the proper time, he may
keep up the fertility of his land-perbap
lOrevcl.
How much Of everything must the far
mer put into his land to keep up its pres
ent condition! He must put in at least a
much as he takes out.
But if he is to put into the land as mucl
or more than he takes out, where is hi
profit to come from! His profit consist
in this, that he takes off the land what h
can sell for much money, and he puts II
what he can buy for comparatively Attl
money.
How do you mean2 7 mean that If
sell my oats, hay Or turnips, l can get
much higher price for them than ! after
wards give when I buy them back agal
in the form Of horse or COW dung.
Then the farmer can really afford to pu
as much upon the land as he takes of an
vet have profit? He can. He puts i
what is cheap and takes off what is dear.
| What do you call the substances who
the farmer puts into his land! They ar
called manures-and when putting ther
in the farmer is said to manure his soll.-

There is voice fpiaise and prayer
That through creation rings
A.hynn ofrapture and Of love,
The God ofDature sings,
And every bird and breeze and stream
Join in the antheln'd song,
Will music sweeps the bounding air,
And JOY the notes prolong.
That voice is heard in every Hover
Spring,pg on hill and dale;
Il swelleth in the blooming rose,
And lily of the vale,
It speaks in tender cheering words,
To frail and wayering man,
And bids his thoughts from earth arise,
A hoier sphere to scan.
Thank God for all those precious gifts,
Gemming the face Of earth;
They prompt a thousand springs ofjoY,
With thoughts of kindred birth;
They wear u soft angelic smile,
In mornings peary dew,
And typiiy our musing thoughts
With feelings good and true.
The balmy works of May unfold
wealth of blossoms rare,
The golden sun looks out at morn
Upon the charmed air;
And flowers spring up in wood and wild,
The droopinp heart to cheer,
When winter leaves the smiling sky,
And genial days appear.
Oh! who but feels his bosom then,
With streams Of gladness flow,
When spring with ireshening beauty steals
Along the wales below;
The withered fields and forests sere

The koclluk (Iowa) Register SAYS: We
learn from St. Paul, that this place is the
theatre Of almost as much excitement as
San Francisco, Calitornio.-1he emigra-
ton to that place and the surrounding coun
try is immense. Hundreds are pouring in
from all parts daily. Everything in the
shape of house is filled to Overlooking,
and large numbers are encamped IN tents,
for want of house room. He SAYS. that
money is very plenty, and prices OF lots
and othe property high. A large amount
of English emigration has come in tins
spr.ng, bringing with them plenty of funds.
Minnesota bids far for speedy settlement
and most rapid improyement.-Ou friend
was highly delighted with the beautiful
appearance OF the country. A few days
since, the Hon. William Slade, Ex-gov-
ernor of Vermont, and Genera! Agent Of
National Popular Education passed up TO
Minnesota, to engage in the establishment
of schools in that Territory. He had in
his company eleven young ladies, who
came out from the Eastern States, under
the auspices of the Board, to engage in
teaching the young Minesotians.

Mrs Sutton came to the desperate resolu

rather than comply with his wishes; and
with that view on the night of the Goth
