ADVANTAGES OF DRILL C~ULTCRE.-To an
inquiry on this subject tie GcucSce Farmer gives the
following reply:
The principal advantages OF sowing wheat in drills
instead of broadcast arc the following:
LIST. Ii is impossible 10 cover seed at a uniform
depth when it is sown broadcast, and either harrow.
cd, cultivated, or plowed in consequently it Gomez
at different times, and never acquires the same degree
of maturity, 40 that thrcc-fourtfs Of the crop will bc
ripe enough to Gu: X or eight days earlier than the
other fourth ought TO be harvested. This uucvennes
of ripcning often causes Il considerable loss.
I'd. Less seed by n fourth is required per acre
where il is we'll drilled than where it is sown broad
cast; and it can be covered az nearly equal depth,
thereby securing u much better stand.
Sd. 1t is entirely practicable to stir the ground be-
tween the rows of properly drilled wheat; and this
cultivation, duly performed, benefits the crop as much
rs tillage between rows of maize, turuips, bects, cur
rots. potatoes. and beans benefit these well-kuown
agricultural plants.
18th. Clean culture tends TO prevent undue %dnmpncrs
about the stems and leaves Of wheat rs it approaches
maturity, thereby renders il less liable TO be attacked
by rust at the n os, ri 'ical period Of it's growth. g

THE FADED ROSE.

Yes. bind that rose upon thy brow,
Thou light and laughing one
But think not il will be as now,
When sets you evening sun.
IT'S lovely now, but soon the bloom
From it's sweet folds may fade;
A single hour may seal It's doom
Aud Join il with the dead,
To his hall OF rest,
lu the golden wcst,
Ere the brilliant orb sinks low,
That blooming rose
Its hue may lose,
Never again TO glow, dear girl,
Neveraga;n TO glow.
And human life is like that rose,
a weak and fragile thing:
In Natures garden fine it grows,
Fann'd by the winds Of spring.
But wint'ry blasts the riited corn
In angry storms blow through
Nipp'd by disease its bloom is seer
II falls us roses do.
In burning one
Though light cnthroncs
Thy forehead fair to lave
Aworld ofcarc

That bends It for the grave, dear girl,
That bends it Tor the grave.
