ROLLING LAND AFTER CORN
PLANTING.

Rolling land after planting corn will pay
as well as good ploughing or narrowing
Indeed, the time spent in rolling down a
field pays better than in almost any other
way, while preparing for q crop. Many
farmers who have dropped their seed upon
the dry, hot surface, and covered it with
earth resembling ashes more than anything
else, last spring, had they rolled their fields
afterwards, would have seen nice long rows
of green sprouting corn about the time they
were planting over.
There are two reasons why rolling pro-
duccs moisture in dry seasons. One is, that
the earth, being made frmer, conducts the
moisture from the subs0il more readily and
another is, that the ground, being made
perfectly level, there is little more than ha

PLOUGHING.

Much time and labor is saved ~ plough
ing long instead of short ridges. For in
stance, suppose the ridges are 70 yards
long, four hours and thirty-nine minutes
are spent in turnings in days work of
eight hours whereas, if the ridges are
PA yards long, one hour and nineteen
minutes are sufficient in the same length Of
time.
Plough deep. Let farmer examine the
extent and depth to which the roots of grain,
in loose and favorable soil, viii spread,
and he will cease to wonder at the failure
stirred by the plough.
Small fibrOus roots of vegetation extend
to depth, where the soil is loose and deep;
and where vegetables thus take root they
are much less affected by drought. The
soil being turned up to the action of the
sun and air, becomes enlivened, AMI better
fitted for producing vegetation. An acre
of land yielding ton Of hay, at the usual
season of ploughing greensward contains
more than twelve tons of vegetable matter,
consisting of the roots and tops of grass,
and other vegetable remains upon the sur
face. Such method of ploughiug, then,
a. will be best calculated TO secure for the
benefit Of the crop, this mass of emriching
substance, the farmer should not hesitate
to adopt. BY completely inverting the
sward, and laying it as fiat and smooth as
the nature of the ground will admit, and then
cultivating without disturbing the sod, with
the application of dressing of compost,
land may not only be kept in heart, but
wonderfully improved.

OH. BLAME ME NOT.

Oh, blame me not, oh, blame me not,
There's anger on thy brow
fl have erred in loving him
Blame me not for it now
For earth, with all its lovely things
l. passing swift away
The winds have Chilled the flowers, and L
Soon, soon shall be- a. they.
,,Twere vain to tell, v ben morning breaks,
How bright. glad thoughts of him
Fill this young heart, and sweetly blend
With visions wild and dim;
How every breczr that fans my chez k,
Or song that grerts my ear,
Scrms in its minstrelsy to breathe
OF him, to nc SO dear.
When eve with gentle steps steals forth
And CROWNS with stars her brow,
What trembling, thrilling sweetness comes
With memory Of the vow.
He breathed, as clasping close my hand,
In low, sweet, earnest tone,
He called me his own beagteOus star,
Ills dearest one, his own.
oh blame me not for loving him,
Tho we are severed now,
For have strivcn TO forget
And am striving now;
But sooner far will every chain
That binds to earth be rivcn,
Than forget the smile that taught
My heart to know its heaven.

the surface presented to the action of the
wind or sun, or from which evaporation
takes place.
Another great advantage in rolling land is
the ease with which the land is afterwards
cultivated. Crushing down the Jumps and
filling up the holIows leaves the ground in
such O fine condition that the cultivator may
be started almost as soon as the corn begins
to ..'peep," as there is little danger of rolling
heavy Jumps of coarse stuff upon the young
blades.
In this respect a roller is of as much adj
vantage in wet weather as dry. \ roller
can, and in my opinion ought to be used on
corn ground in any kind of season. 1t is
a chcep implement, can be made with a
scraper behind to clean it at every revolu-
ton in wet weather. A boy can drive the
team and follow a man with the twO-row
hand-planter. can show any person who
wishes two fields of corn, merely separated
by fence, planted on the same kind of
land, at the same time, and out of the same
kind of seed One has been rolled down,
the other has not, and the rolled corn is a
foot higher than the other. No hills are
missing, it has not been planted over, while
the other has been re-planted, probably on
an average Zone hill in five. So much for
the planter on prairie soil j. III. Jones',

FLORIDA LAND AGENCY.

THE undersigned has established an agency
l. in the town of Alligator, Columbia Coun-
ty, Fla, for the purchase, sale or location of
Land Warrants, the purchase and sale OF lands
generally, improved and unimproved. The
fact now being established that Rail Road
is to be constructed Immediately connecting
the Atlantic and Gulf Of Mexico, running
through the entire length of the county, East
and West, and in view of the great fertility
of our soil, the unusually fine growth of pine
timber on the land, the healthfu!ness of the
climate, and the reasonable terms on which
lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps
no section of the Union which affords equal
inducements to the emigrant from the older
States. Having had some experience in farm
ing on the different kinds OF land, and ac-
quired general knowledge of them through
out the county, and having acquired unusual
facilities for pointing out such as are for sale
either of public or private lands, he feels
very confident of making it the interest of
all persons wishing inform alton, or who may
have deter mined to settle in Florida to call
on him.
