RecIaiming Harsh Soil.

SOME soil is hard - clay bound and
will crack. Such soil requires sand. But
as sand is too expensive to apply, other
means will have to be resorted to.
One of these land the foremosD is, to
pillow in the fall OF early winter-plow dry.
The elements are the best ameliorators
At the same time lime may be applied to
advantage.
Next in order, and Of great consequence,
is cropping the land with certain kinds of
grain, &c., Peas will mellow the soil. So
will buckwheat And so will clover.
These can all be applied without any diff
Guilty, not being hoed crops that require
fine tillage.
A stiff soil turned up in the fall and
well lined, the lime narrowed in, followed
by crop of peas, and sown in the fall to
clover, will, when the sward, few years
thereafter, is turned down, show an i'm
provement that amounts to a complete
change. The land now is in fair worka-
BILE order, and needs but manure and
blowing when dry enough (and usu-
ally in the falI to keep it in good condi-
ton. Of all things, a clay soil is the
most critical to manage.-C oJDaa1a's Rural

Fascination Of Snakes.

WHEN / was engaged as surveyor, L
had frequent opportunities of seeing
snakes, and as stood one day very slug
gishly leaning over a fence, saw large
rattlesnake in as pretty coil as painter
could have desired. The only apparent
living part of it was its head, which moved
to and fro. My eyes fell upon it, and i'm
mediately l lost power to move. / felt
surprised-dizZy--and Indifferent. How
long was SO l do not know, but my pres
sure against the fence caused piece of
the timber to fall; the movement aroused
me, and made my fascinating enemy glide
off. And so l was saved, but the feeling of
horror, sickness and fainting that came
over me effects me even while / tell it.
Another says: 81 was passing through
Maryland with three others, when one
was observed to stop behind without any
assignable cause; his companions called
him, but he not moving, one returned and
upbraided him with indifference of their
companionship, but not moving, he came
up close to him, and taking him by the
arm, pulled him towards him, saying,
Why do you hpger, man?' He now OBJ
served his eyes were fixed, and directing
his to the object of vision, saw an i'm
mense rattlesnake half bowling and half
crawling toward him, His companion
