4 wandered lonely as . cloud
That aoats on high Ger wales and hills,
When all at once saw crowd,
A host of golden dafodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fiuttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of bay.
Ten thousand saw / at q glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay
In such jocund company;
gazed-and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought.
For oft when on my couch lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They fash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daff0dils.

Benefits of Deep Flowing.

pertinent had previously farmed it as others did,
thinking that there way to increase the pro-
duct but to increase the number of acres.
l had field containing four acres and one hum
dred rods of ground which had been cleared nine
years, and had had grain crop on it every year
wheat, corn and oats-the three last oats. The
field was considered nearly worn out, and would not
have produced more than fifteen bushels of wheat
per acre. There were many large stumps and four
green trees on the field. The soil was clay loan.

June, when the ground wet turning up about
five inches that lad never been stirred before plow
ing about three-tourths of an acre per day. The
ground was dug up with a spade around the stumps
narrowed and ploughed shallow twice afterwards
and sown the fifth day of October with two bushels
of velvet headed wheat per In the spring were
sown $50 pounds of plaster where the wheat looked
the poorest The result was, although much was
wasted in gathering, for it shelled badly, had BY

on soil like mine will prevent the crop from suffer

The editor of the Michigan Farmer thinks g it is al

The general system has been ever since the frs
settlement of this country to pillow shallow and grow
wheat after wheat, without manure, seeding
to grass until all the food for the wheat plant is ex
hausted, and then we are told that the seasons ar
such we cannot grow wheat and must turn our atten
ton to raising sheep: but will sheep thrive if W
serve them as we serve our wheat! Will they liv
without proper foode Or will they live in the waite
without turning to muskrats? Yours, &c,

different sense, and in less degree, than with rea-
