Clearing and Improving
Marshes.

Marshes.
Some few years since an eastern
agricultural society offered several
premiums, extending through q
course of years, for experiments in
clearing and improving marshes,
and afterwards reported at some
length thereon. 1t is interesting
as showing the cost of bringing
Doggy marshes into cultivation,
and also as presenting the views
of practical aud well informed men
on the best means of accomplish
ing the same.
As to clearing, after a careful
examination for several successive
seasons, of the halfscore of en-
tries Of lands, the committee came
to the conclusion that the most eff
fectnal and thorough process on
very wet soils, with a vegetation
of small bushes and coarse grasses,
was,
1st. To thoroughly drain the
land, as far as it could be done by
frequent bitches; and
Cd. To float or cut off the sur
face of the ground, and piling it
In winrows, let it dry, and then
burn the whole to ashes.
This method, taking all things
into account, they believed to be
more economical than that gener-
ally practiced, of cutting off the
boys and brush, and then subduing
the coarse vegetation by frequent
ploughings and borrowings. 1t
was found exceedingly difficult to
reclaim the soil from It's original
products, by the latter process
By pairing and burning on the con-
trary, the coarser materials of the
land were at once reduced by fire,
and afforded valuable and much
needed amendment, in their abun-
dant ashes. The surface, with
slightly ploughiny or thoroughly
narrowing, was much earlier pre-
pared for a crop than by the 9th
er Notwithstanding one or two
years out of three or four, In the
use and production of the land,
over that of subduing by plough
ing.
In number of examples given,
the cost of clearing and thorough
~ subduing by this process was
abort $40 per acre. The crops
for three years paid all expenses
and more, and the land would re-
main equally productive for long
time, with proper treatment.
If a marsh has much depth of
muck and cannot be thoroughly
drained, we find that after a few
years it will settle down nearer the
water line, and in the moister spots
will displace the cultivated ones.
If an outlet can be had, the most
efficient remedy will be to deepen
the drains, plough and reseed to
grass, and if, at the same time, a
top-dressing of sandy loan be APP
piled, the results will be more sat
isfactory. The grass will have a
better character than on muck
alone, and will be less likely to
become run out" by coarser her
bage.
No doubt many of our farming
readers have had experience in
clearing marshes, the relation of
which would encourage others to
engage in this work of improve
lnent. We hope that whenever
their leisure allows, they will favor
us with articles on this and other
subjects of interest.-Couss. Gen

A SONG FOR THE TIMES.

Let hard times assail us,
Let poverty nail us
Like MYSTICAL horse shoes to every old wall
Let deep tribulation
And fierce desolation
Spread OF Eer all landslide u funeral pail
Though empty our purses,
Thou. creditors curse US,
And quarters squeezed till the eagles all howl,
Let's have merry faces,
And smiles for all places,
Remembering tits better to grin than to growl.
What though banks are breaking
And big houses quaking
Lest one day undo all they ever have done,
Our crossness can't mend it,
Our weeping won't endit,
Why not take the bright side and cali all fun?
Will forfeited pleasures
Or imbecile measures
Bring back our lost conidence-lift the dark cowl.
No, no; to-days sorrow
Brings no brighter to morrow,
When things will go bad let grin and not growl.
But let us keep thinking
That though we are sinking,
We can't go much further, because 1t won't pay ;
The old saw not for getting
That's cured lots Of fretting
The hour is the darkest just before day.
Though vacant our purses,
Though creditors curse us,
Though quarters are squeezed till the eagles all
howl.
Let's keep merry faces
And smiles for all places,
For surely tits better to grim than to growl

SO A correspondent of the Independent
Beige says: "There has been something said
OF the probability that the Pope will launch
bull Of interdiction against the King of Pied
mont Some of his counsslors, perhaps,
would mot hesitate to adopt that extreme
measure, because they do not see all the con-
seaasoeessshstr might follow. Ifthe Holy See
should issue an interdict, the general belief at
Turin is, that the King would accept the
struggle, and decide on embracing another re.
iigion, advising the people to follow his exam
pie. In the present state, Of public excite
ment it is certain that part Of the inhabitants
OF Piedmont and the other provinces would
lollow their Sovereign in that line of conduct.
1t is even asserted that Victer, Emanuel has
indirectly apprised the Pope of bis intentions,
throwing on him all the responsibility that
might occur"

THERE'S ROOM ENOUGH FOR ALL.

What need of all this fuss and strife,
Each warning with his brother?
Why should we. in the crowd of life,
Keep trampling down each other?
Is there no goal that can be won, 30
Without squeeze to gain it! ~
No other way of getting on, Ill
But scrambiing to obtain it?
Oh. fellow wmen, hear wisdom, then,
In friendly warning call
"Your claims divide, the world is wide
There's room enough for all -
What if the swarthy peasant find
No field for honest labor, -. .
He need not idly stop behind,
To thrust aside his neighbor.
There is land with sunny skies,
Which gold for toll is giving;
Where every brawny hand that tries
Its strength, can grasp living.
Oh. fellow-men, remember, then,
Whatever chaLce befAll,
The world is wide-where those abide,
There's room enough for all.
From poisoned air ye breathe in courts,
And typhus- tainted alleys,
Go forth and dwell where health resorts,
In fertile hills and valleys;
Where every man that clears bough,
Finds plenty in attendance,
Up, leave your loathsome cities, now.
And toll for independence.
Oh, hasten, then, from fcvered den,
And lodging cramp and small;
The world is wide-in land beside
There's room enough Tor all.
In this fair region far away,
Will labor find employment
A fair days work, fair days pay,
And toll will earn enjoyment.
What need, then, of this daily strife.
Where each wars with his brother?
Why need We. through the crowd Of life,
Keep trampling down each other9
From rags and crime that distant cline
Will free the pauper's thrall:
Take fortunes tlde--the world 80 wide,
Has room enough for all
