We give to our readers the following poem,

good sense and also to show how near
composition may come to being and YET not
be poetry. A non-observa4t reader might
take it for good poetry. RhyEae is not poetry,
and if it was, this fails in rhyme. And II
fails in measure and verse; or, perhaps II
would be better to say, there is no regard
paid to either measure or verse.

It appears that there are two subdiyis,
ions of the reform party, the reformers
and the radicals. The latter have re
nounced the faVorite dogmas cherished
by orthodox Israelites, the advent of a
Messiah to reign as king over the Holy
Land. the return of the Jews to Palestine
and adherence to dietary laws. They
also object to the employment of prayers
and chants in the Hebrew language; they
except the laws and institutions of society

them are even in favor of substituting

The Israelitish race, like the Gothic, IS

pensity to sojourn in new dwelling places

Measure of Manure.

What is meant by the term "a cord of

of wood-125 cubic feeti If so, what
would be the average weight Of "a cord'
of ordinary barn-yard manure By
measurement, as freight is measured, a
cord would be three and an eighth tons;
but will it weigh that' l ask this in
consequence of some experiments de-
tailed on page 437, Country Gentleman,
current year, not conveying to my mind
any definite idea of the relative amount
of manure and soil used, when "two
cords of manure well retted and mixed
with one and ene-half horse carts of
SOIL" well applied. V. G.P. We take
it for granted that a cord of manure
means 12S cubic feet. The average
weight of solid, compact, half,rotted
manure is about nine-tenths that of
water, say 80 to So lbs per cubic foot,
and the weight Of cord would be over
three tons. But if loose, fibrous, and
straw, it might not be two
tons, or even ton and half. Nothing
is more variable.

Orchards in Pens,

A correspondent writes that he finds
sowing the common field or Canada
pea, at the rate of about two and one,
half bushels to the acre, and plowing
them in about two inches deep, early
in spring, one of the best methods OF
keeping the ground loose and light and
the trees healthy that he has ever tried.
The crop is left to decay on the ground,
and the whole expense is the cost OF
seed and blowing in spring.
