The Bachelors Burial.

With wrinkled brow and matted hair,
And heart that neyer loved the fair.

Bring rankest plants Of name unknown,
Bring wither'a boughs from dreary wild,
To strew the bier Of Errors child.
And make his grave where the lizards hide
Where nght-shade strews the swamp creek

Far out of sight--where gentle Spring
Shall send no gentle birds to sing.
His old jack-knife lay with him low,
That cut the string of Cupd's bow,
The sad house-cat shall whine around
His lonely grave in grief profound.
Lowlay him who was often sshigh,"
Here, where shall fall no plying eye
For him-for him no loving heart
Shall ache--for him no tear shall start.
His bloodless limbs skall fall to dust:
His old jack knife shall waste with rust;

Shall never fright the babes again.

Beneath the ground and out of sight;

THE GRASSES.

The raising of grass for hay aud pasture
comes in with good farming every wh.re,
and is made more important object as
husbandry advances. Some OF our best
farmers, however, prefer to raise grain
mainly, and get along with their stock,
with a very small quota of hay. Cattle
thrive well upon cut straw mixed with
meal, roots, &c. We have kept working
oxen and cows fat on straw and turnips
But these are EXCEPTIONS The gensr ali
ty of farmers will raise grass for stock,
I and il is no duobt decidedly their best pol
icy ito do 60. Grass is the natural food
of our dome site animals.
From all that we have yet been able TO
learn from experiments made with. the diff
lerent English Grasses in this C ountry
more of them equal cur own, either ior
meadows or pasture. The perennial Rye
grass is the best English grass for gener al
use. 1t is now cultivated to some extent
in Ohio and the southern part of Indiana,
where on clay soils, weare told, it ihrives
well. London speaks highly Of this grass.
II might be introduced Ielhaps TO advant,
age on our prairie soils. But it is sheer
folly TO talk about. the general introduc.
tion of the Eng lsh' grasses while our own
proved varieties, are not half as much Gu |
tivated as they should BE. Red clover
timothy. redtop, fou.-meadow, Kentucky
blue grass ard white clover, are really all
wereed at present.. A mixture OF these
seeds should be sown with every grain
crop,-say. for SANDY SOILS. three pecks of.
clover and one Of timothy; for clay loans
halfand half; and on stig clays, one fourth
clover and three-fourths :imothy;-mix-
ing in, the other varieties as desirable.
4. White clover should always be added, -
there is no grass which viii supply lis place
