posed to enter wedge with which to split my
argument.
In the early part Of my communication have
stated that with our present system of farming
rotatin Of crops is q necessity, &c. ! made this
reservation, because under a system which | will
hereafter slluds more fully to, it seems to be
very frss from necessity.
The Rev. Samuel Smith, Of Lois Weldon
Northamptonshirs, England, has for eighteen
years past 10 succession rassd crops OF wheat from
the same plot, without the application Of any
manure whatever. Now, says our critic, where
is the e1cretug theory Smiths experiment. if
examined into, neither proves nor disproves, for
his practice is strange combination OF approval
and dsapprobstoB. he marks out his plot into
strips or beds three feet wde every alternate one
| Of which he plants with three rows Of wheat one
foot asunder, and adopting rul's theory Of the
atmosphere supplying all the nssdful, he thorough
| " works and cultiUtss the vacant spaces, and by
the time the crop is harvested they are ready to
receive the next enc, and 30 on over the whole
| course Of his experiment. Such ia the expert
ment, and the result is that from a crop Of twent-
y FIVE bushels per acre Of actual space, (only one
| half OF which was panted) in 1916, he increased
it to forty bushels in 1859, since which time
have seen no reliable account Of his proceedings,
\ but goud like to be furnished with one which
may chance to be in the possession OF thy many
readers 1t will be noticed that Smith partially
admits the benefits Of rotation by planting alter
nate spaces but by raising successive crops fur
nshes forcible coAtroyersion Of the theory that
rotation 10 necessity.
II, then, wheat eIcretes substances which are
poison when again taken into it's circulation, how
does happen that they are not in tho way Of the
third crop'
May not Smiths constant stirring and pulver
zation Of the soll bring theAs deleterious sub
stances to the surface, where by contact with tn,
atmosphere their chemical composition is E,
altered that they are again fitted to become foo,
for he pant'
With the comparative profits and loss Of Smith
system at present have nothing to do aud henc
do not wish to be understood to be advocating th
reduction Of his experiment to field practice.

The Old Couple,

1t stands IN a sunny meadow,
The house so NOISY and brown
With it's cumbrous old stone chimneysr
And the gray roof slopiDg down.
The trees fold their green arms around It,
The trees, century cid
And the winds 60 chanting through them,
Aud the sunbeams drop their gold.
The cowsips spring 10 the marshes,
And t roses bloom on the hill,
And beside the brook in the pastures,
The herds 90 feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them,
They sit in the sun alone
And the old wlfs's ears are failing,
AS she harks to the well known tone
That won her heart in her girhood,
That has soothed her in many care,
And praises be. now for the brightness
Her old face used to wegr.
She thinks again OF her bridal
How, dressed in a robe Of white,
She stood by her gay young lever,
In the mornings rosy light.
0, the morning is rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek is fed,
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it falls on a sivery head.
And the grlhood dreams, once vanished,
Come back in her winter time,
TIL her feeble pulses tremble,
With the thrill Of spring times prime.
And looking forth from the window,
she thinks how the trees have grown,
Siros, clad in her bridal whtenew,
She crossed the old doorstone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure,
And dimmed her hairs young gold,
The owe OF her grlhood pIighled
Has never grown dim or cid.
They sat in peace in the sunshine,
III the uAf vas almost cone,
And then, at it's close, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their bends together
lie touched their eyeIids with balm,
And their last breath 6oated upward,
Like the close ola solemn psalm.
Like a bridal pair they trayersed
The unseen, mystical road,
That leads 10 the beautiful city,
Whose builder and maker il God"
Perhaps 10 that miracle country
They Will give her lost youth back,
And the flowers Of q vanished spring -time,
VIII bloom in the spirits track.
One draught from the living waters
Shall call back bis manhood's prime,
And eternal years shall measure
TIE love that outiiyed time.
But Il shapes that they left behind them
The wrinkles and silver hair,
Made holy 10 us by the kisses
The angels had printed there,
We will hide away meath the willows,
When the day is low in the west,
Where the sunbeams cannot find them,
Nor the winds disturb their rest.
And we'Il suffer no telltale tombstone,
With its age and date, to rise
Der the two who are oil no longer,
In the Fathers House in the skies.
