by four horses each.

JERUSALEM, PALESTINE, AND
Syria.
BY DIR, J. v. c. SMITH.

Having very recently visited every Sec
ton of the Holy Land which is regarded
worthy Of examination by pilgrims OF tray-
oilers in general, the result of my examina-
ton is placed at your disposal. 1t would
be quite impossible TO present detailed ac-
count Of all that has been seen or expert
enced, while exploring a region Astounding
IN objects of intense interest TO those who
are DESTROYS of understanding the geography
of a country in which Christianity had It's
origin, and where our Lord aud Saviour
first appeared on the earlh--completed his
divine mission and suffered painful death.
In the first place Palestine, although usu-
ally described as land flowing with milk
and honey, am quite disposed to regard
as poetIcal figure, if its present aspect is
any criterion Of its former condition under
the palmy reign of David ana Solomon.
IL is the toughest, rockiesl, aud altogeth-
er the hardest country for cultivation, as a
whole, that have ever seen in Europe, A
STA, Africa, or America. Even the tumult-
uously stTown about mountains of Switzer-
land, steep and rugged as they are, to me,
present more hope for the former than the
central portions of Palestine. The valleys
are exceedingly beautiful. fruitful and easy
for tillage; but their whole extent, compar
ed with that which is either good for moth.

er It may be made on any farm by thor
ougli mixture of fine manure aud soil. Dc
guano may be taken for the manure and soil
may be mixed with it, in the proportion Of
three to one--that is three bushels of ioamy
matter to one of guano.
Any OF these composts may be applied in
small quantities to each hill of corn or pots-
toes. Ashes aud plaster may be thrown on
the top of the hill as soon as the coverinp is
done but poudrette or guauo will do bet

mer.
When tillage land is kept in high order,
however, nothing is needed in the hill to
start the crop-and whenever great por-
ton OF the manure is put in the Hill the
stalks will be found to be larger than the
corn or the potatoes. A farmer therefore
who keeps his fields in high condition has
this advantage among many others--he may
spread all his manure broad cast and trust
to the instincts OF has plants to find it.

Why do you put Ashes on Corn.

The above question was put to US the 9th
er day by a farmer, who stated that several
years ago he applied ashes to a field of corn.
and il seemed to increase the crop wonder
fully. Last year he ashed' his corn, on
another field, and i, did not appear to do any
good.
We pu. ashes on corn to supply the crop
with potash.
Corn requires pretty large proportion OF
potash TO form the kernel Hence one rea-
son why we generally get such good crops
on " burnt ground" as the new clearngs
are called. When the soil does not contain
potash sufficient for the corn crop, an appli-
cation of ashes is of great use to il. If
there is already sufficient supply of potash
in the soil. the application of ashes does not
manifest any beneficial effects This was
probably the case with our friends soil.
The first field was undoubtedly deficient in
potash, and hence the good effects of ashes

Giving Corn a Start.
Name Farmer.

Instead of putting shovel full OF manure
in each hill il is better to form a compost of
such materials as have bu, little bulk, and
that will keep the worms and insects away
rather than attract. The labor will be less
and the ears OF corn better if the stalks are
not larger.
On warm and dry soils mixture of ash
es aud plaster is excellent. We have tried
eight bushels of ashes mixed with two BUSH
els of plaster for an acre. This is applied
by hand and with but little labor compared
with putting shovel full OF manure III the
hill-lor in either case manure must be
spread over the whole field to insure good
harvest.

of him. How many of this kind perish
annually, to cement the vast prosperity Of
that city, cannot be told. About fifteen
years ago when II contained only one fifth
of its existing population, few bold specu-
lators began the trade. Selecting the hams
and sides of the animal, they made picked
