The reign of James the First of Scotland.
who may Justly bc considered among the great
est of the Scottish monarchs was chiefly spent
in reforming abuses IN curbing the authority
oC the great barons, and in recovering the roy
n estates out Of the hands of usurpers. All
these measures were taken with the approba-
ton ofthe states. and seem to have been ap
proved by the nation at large; but they pro.
cured him many Nirulcnt enemies, and at
length proved the cause ofhij murder. The
perpetrators OF the foul act were the Eurl OF

The king had dismissed his nrmy, without
even reser,ing himself body guard, and was
at supper in Dominican convent IN The neigh
borhood OF Perth. Grahame had for some time
been at the head of gang ofoulaWs, aad Is
said To have brou2htn party of them IN the
dead of tie night 10 Perth, where he posted

was passed over the field to DO followed with

soil, so that the lime would fndits way speed

action, and, as a consequence. the grass would
much sooner be increased in quantity as well
as improved in quality.

WORK for the Month,
EEBRU UARY.

As the time las arrived in many portions
Of our country where our journal has an ex-
,ensive circulation for field Iabor we shall pro.
cced at once to poinl out such matters us may
require immediate attention on the farm.
LINING AND MARLING.
The question IS often asked us,-whai Is the
best time to apply lime or mari to the iondF-
Our reply invariably has been,--dny ttme ];
the great object, in our opinion being to get
the lime or mari, which ever may be used on
the ground. and to distribute it equally.
We hold t,is 10 be an agrieolturaI truth,
that any land which may have been long IN
culture, without having received dressing
of lime or mari, needs one, aud for these rca-
sons.-frsf, because, lime and mari, by their
own specific gravity, sink into the earth be-
meath the plough line, and, as consequence,
get, after series Of years, beyond the reach
of the lateral roots OF the plants which are
their chief feeders and Secoadly because .he
crops themselves annually consume material
portoin, which is carried off the land,-and
thus is the earth deprived Of its calcareous
matter, and the plants grown thereon left
without supply of this element, which is SO
essential to their heaI,hful growth ard to the
maturaton Of their seeds.
MODES OF APPLICATION
There are several modes OF appllcauon'--
Some apply lime at the time of preparing Their
corn ground by sowing it broadcast over the
field and narrowing it in previous to checking
off the ground for planting corn. This IS a
good practice, perhaps as good as any otter, I6
because, by the working of'he corn the ne, =, ime mt
becomes thoroughly mixed aud dilfnsed
through the soil. In stiff clays; however rive we
think that it would be best to plough the land
;ntbe fall, and then apply the lime as it would
thus become more intimately mingled with
The soil, than fits application were delayed
till spring and as a necessary consequence. lis
action would be more prompt. Some dlstrl-
Lutte il broadcast at the time of seeding wheat
while others delay its application until the
wheat plant is up,seectng period of the
winter when the ground is frozen and will not
poach under the hoofs Of horses and tread %
OF the hands. The custom with many sensible
well judging farmers is, to apply it to grass
