read several Essays respecting reclaim
ing waste or run out lands-all of which,
inimy opinion, treat CT the same in a
very scientific manner-yet 10 me there
is one thing wanting-and that is the
one thing necdfal-viz. When you
have poor worn-out land, and your
purse also in The same condition, how
to renoyatc both? As to the first, if
you are stout in the second, it is easy
to get stimuIants, such as Lime, Guano,
&C., and force the other on-but
when one is att distance from and also
unable to buy these, &C., what is to be
done? Now here is the question, and
Ianswer it by experience of many
Year,. First-1n the fall plough your
land as deep as possible, (no matter OF
what. qualify your land ISL in narrow
burrows, of not more than six inches at
the most, and lay these over from forty
five to sixty degrees, to remain in this
state all the winter. As. soon as The
season will admit, cross plough this
land as deep as before. (but not deep
er,) then SOW lurni ip seed or any
other seed of the same kind, which
harrow in with very light llarrow-as
soon as this seed has sproutcd and COM
pletcIy covered the ground. say four
inches high, takca Chain TO your plough,
so that when you are plous!'ing these
leaves down, the chain may pull them
to the bottom Of the furrow. 1t must
be remembered that every plonghing
must be crossing the ulcr at igllt-an-
s!es, in a day or two after this plough
ing, SOW the same with some other seeds,
say buckwllcar, and when in full leaf,
plough it down likcwisc-lhis can be
done three or four times in the summer,
and wheat will be found to grow well
after such summers dressing. You
and many farmers | know will smile

behind them, and as they freeze during

very common 10 go round the fields,

nor can you give your landsa complete

That from the shore was floating now,
While parting shouts from all OH board,
In one triumphant plaudit roar'd
California!
They touched the cline of golden sand,
The youth was first to tread the land,
Aud shouting to-his fellows, said,
As waved The banner DER his head,
California
A, las, the asue and fever raged,,
But still with fervor unassuaged.
Slreich'd on the GROUND anil ilsquakes
He shouted loud between The shakes,
California!
Once more, his comfude passing by,
Fhe film Of death was DER his eye;
But'from the sky o'ercast and dauk,
Ayoice fell like broken bank,
California!
