FARMING MEMORANDA.

ExHAusTIyG THE SoIL.-It is well known that
if the same kind of crops are planted or sown
for several years in succession on the same
SOIL they will at last cease to yield. This is
called ssexhausting the soil, - for which par
tiaI remedy is found by the use of manures,
but even with thorough manuring every sea-
son. the soil will fail to yield, If the crops are
not frequently changed by what is called ''ro-
tation of cropping" To account for this, it
is believed that each crop eXhaustS the soil
of the peculiar nutritive matter which 1t re-
quires, and thus it takes some years to bring
back or restore such matter to the land. 1t is
well known that some soils are so rich in GER
tain salts as to be capable of raising 4 success
sion of crops for a number of years, but this
is not the case generally. A rotation of crops
and frequent mauuring can alone ensure any
soil from becoming exhausted. A grain crop
should always be succeeded by root or a
green crop, and rice rersG. Thus wheat. then
grass, oats, potatoes, corn, wheat, turnips, bar
ley, potatoes, rye, clover.
MANUREs.-Guano is powerful fertilizer,
but 1T is too concentrated to be used singly.
1t is found to produce superior effects when
mixed with equal quantities of common salt,
and then stirred up with about four times their
quantity of moist loamy soil. The superphos-
pLotes are coming into more general use for
root crops, and they valuable for such pur-
poses. They should be applied as early in the
season as possible, as they require consldera-
bic moisture to ensure their absorption n1 tue
plants. There are many adulterations oi gu
auo Sold and as it is an expensive fertilizer,
deception in its quality is heinous crime.
IN burning Peruvian guano, it should loose
from 90 to 80 per cent. of its weight; It's ash
should be white, and dissolve readily without
effervescence in dilute muriatic acid, leaving
an insoluble residue of only about per cent.
a bushel of pure guano weighs about 40 lbs !;
if adulterated with clay, mari or sand, it Will
weigh more than this. This latter test Will
detect gross adulteration; the former more
refined adulteration.
WEEDs.-Farmers should be careful not TO
cultivate weeds, as they steal that nutriment
from the soil w1ich should otherwise be taken
up by genuine plants. To prevent weeds
great care should be exercised in securing
clean seed. In clover seed there are as many
at &c, 900 weed seeds in every pint AS about
from twelve to fourteen pints of seed are so"h
to the acre, over forty weed seeds are so"h
upon every square yard.
SEEDs-In seeds, as in live stock, defects
are handed down from generation 10 genera
tion. and constant care is therefore required 10
remove anv hereditary taint Seeds from
| bliobted straw should never be used, because
| this is an indication of disease, and yet TINS

is an unscientifc and incorrect notion. Inc
yery soundest seed, and nothing else, should

ALLITERATIVE VERSES.

There is good deal of ingenuity displayed

Fluttering friend farewell forever,
Hope hath hung her harp on high,
Every effort or endeaver
Starts some serious, sobbing sigh
When with warmest wishes wooing.
fingered long loves languid look
Silence still sublimely showing,
Firmest faith for forms forsook
Pleasing prospects provo protecting
Innocency is innate
Deserts dear delights directing,
Far from former frowning fate.
Pleasures pleasing path pursuing,
That through fearless time tread
Fagrant virtues yainly viewing,
She still pseudo shinings she'd.

Shall sorrowing sighs still silent Sleep
To truant time thy troubles tell
Why with wearied wanderings weep,
