Think of Me some Day.

You'll think of me some day
When nevermore the waves will play,
When fingers light on the beaches gray,
Their wordless song to me;
When nevermore while the shadows grow,
We two shall wander to and fro,
Amid the breezes speaking low,
Beneath our trysting tree.
Some day, some day, at memory's will,
When ali the hours are hushed and still,
And fancy bends with kisses chill,
Ger pleasures once so sweet;
You'll think on all that might have been,
OF love whereon hoped to lean,
OF wavering faith too slowly seen,
OF parted years to meet.
And feel that in your heart still lies
A morning dream with hopeless eyes,
Whose Light has passed beyond the skies,
Yet cannot wholly fade;
The dream that bound my life with yours,
AS currents clasp the magic shores,
As Spring the breath to earth restores, .
A joy without a shade.
The dream by bitter truth denied
So from henceiorth our ways divide,
My peace no more at that dear side,
ill now My world, my sun;
Alas to you there comes no pain.
Loves soon-lit torch Will fame again,
. While I-each hope forever slain
Shall pray that life were done.

How TO FPEsHEN SALT FIsH-Many per-
sons who are ia the habit of freshening mackerel
or salt fish never dream that there is right and
wrong way to do it. Any one who has seen
the process of evaporation going On at the salt
works knows that salt falls to the bottom. Just
50 it is in the pan where your mackerel and
white fish lies soaking; and as it lies with skin
side down, the salt will fall tothe skin and re-
main there, when if placed with the flesh side
down. the salt falls to the bottom of the pan,
and the fish comes out freshened, as it should;
in the other case it is nearly as salt as when put
in If you do not believe this, test the matter
for yourselves

Rotation Of Crops.

Few farmers have land that they can afford
TO raise more than two succeeding crops OF corn
on; and generally it would be better to raise but
one crop in two years, and sometimes one IN
three. Corn is hard crop on land; not so much
because the elements of the soil are taken up so
largely in the crop, because the bare soil Is so
unnaturaly exposed to the direct rays OF the sum-
mer sun. 10 the use of small grain or grass, the
seed sown does not act as a manure, but the
growing crop serves covering for the ground
at the time it is most needed, and allows nature
to repair the damage done by former cultivation.
In connection with the rotation Of crops will
introduce a system Of manuring, which may be
practiced with satisfactory results, especially on
clay land that has been properly underdrained
and SUBSIDIZED First, SOW in wheat. In the
spring SOW one bushel Of clover seed to eight
acres Harvest the wheat. but do not pasture
the stubble. Allow all to grow until after the
first heavy frost in the fall, aud then turn all
under deep and subsoil. Or, if it cannot be
broken in the fall, let it lie until about planting
time in the spring, when the green clover will be
about knee high. Then turn old stubbe, old
and new clover. all under deep possible.
Harrow and if need be- roll, and then plant in
corn Immediately. In the fall, again to
wheat, and in the spring to clover, and proceed
as before Under this system a good crop may
be raised every year, and the land in time great
~ improved.
The heavy crops of vegetable matter which
are turned into the ground every other year,
for clay land good and cheap manure For
clay soils We want regetaL/e nan"ures, such as
stable manure, corn stalks the refuse of straw
piles, leaves and muck If the manure has been
well composted and thoroughly rotted, it can be
best applied as top-dressing in the fall for
wheat, or in the spring to the corn in the hill
IF it is to be applied before rotting, it should be
ploughedin the fall lind that vegetable manures
produce better returns when applied to cioy lan1s
than to arg o'her. Having the soil well cleared
thoroughly underdraincd and prepared for plant
ing the next step is to select the seed; and it is
of great Importance to obtain GOOD seed
