buahels of bones, ) bushels of ashes, ,
bushels of salt and of plaster per acre
After sowing the mixture. roll the ground.
30 bushels of mari, or % bush. of lime
per acre, would be good substitute for

If you have no pasture, but an old
field that you can spare to form one out
of, you can do so without breaking it
up. in the following manner: harrow the
ground several times. say twice each
way then prepare mixture of ten bush
els of ashes, and 5..hush. bone dust, per
acre. and sow it thereon, harrow the mix
ture in, then SOW the mixture of seeds.
and then roll them in, AMI you will Law
the ground work of permanent pasture.
The old field should not be grazed the
first season. 1t would be well to sow
90 bushels of lime on next winter, and
if you top dress and SOW grass seeds
every few years thereafter, you NAV as
sure yourself Of having a laxuriant pas
ture for thirty or forty years.

lie who works so hard that he cannot
read or reflect after the labors of the
day are over. because OF fatigue, does
not plan wisely. No one should shun
work when work is TO be done, but do
it with neatness and despatch. The
farmers leisure hours should be de
voted to mental improvement and ra
tiOnal enjoyment. The farmer should
have about MIN the choicest works of
his own avocation: let these form the
:ubject of his study at least one evening
in the week. He should also have the
history of his country, and the lives of
some of its wisest statesmen, while the

It's darkened shadows fling,
And hopes that cheer thee now
Die in their early spring.
Should pleasure at its birth,
Fade like the hueS of even,
Turn thee away from earth,
There rest for tLee in heaven.
If ever life shall seem
To thee a to.lsome way,
And gladneSs cease to beam
Upon its clouded day;
If like weary dove,

Raise thou thine eyes above,

Nor always be forgot

When sickness pales thy cheek,
And dims thy lustrous eye,
And pulses low and weak,

Sweet Hope shall whisper then,
Though thou from earth be driven
There's bliss beyond the skies,
There's rest for thee in heaven,
