ROTATION OF CRoPs.-A judiccus fo-
tation of crops will keep q farm in a good
state of fertility without any manure,
except what is made on the farm. In
the first place, turn over a field in sod
for corn, first spreading upon the field
what manure you can spare, and turning
it under as fast as spread, or the same
day at least. Deep,ploughing is not me-
cessary in ploughing sward land tor
corn; but itshould be turned over fat
and evenly, and after harrowipg thel land,
the corn should be planted Immediately,
so as to get a good start ahead of the
grass. The next year this land may, bear
crop of oats, barley or spring wheat.
Seed it down to clover or to- any other
grass with it, the clover being necessary
to fertilize the land the third year, by
turning under asecond growth (the first
being cut for hay) early in September
and sowing the land to wheat or rye, and
seed it down to grass again, emitting to
SOW the clover seed in this case Till the
following March, when il, may be sown
even if the ground should be covered with
snow; and as soon as the SHOW is gone
and the ground is dry roll it, and the
clover seed will catch we'll. There lis no
kind of grass so good a greensfertilizer as
clover; as its roots penetrate the soil
quite deeply, and with the green clover
turned under,it is equal IN Ifertifiziug
and to moderate spread Of stable ma
nure. t,.,y ...,f ss.,..,tA ~

LITTLE BY LIrTLE.-If you are. gain
ing a little every day, be content. Are
your expenses less than your income, 80
that, though it be a little, You are con-
stantly accumulatihg and growing richer
and richer every day? Befcontent SO
far as concerns money. you are doing
we'll. Are you gaining knowledge every
day. Thoughsit be little by little, the
aggregate of the accumulation, wheae no
day is allowed to pass without adding
something to the stock, will be surpris-
ing to Yourself. Solomon did not become
the wisest man in the world in minute.
Little by little-neyer omitting'to learn
something, even for a single day--always
reading. always studying a little between
the time of rising up in the morning and
lying down at .night-this is the. way to
accumulate full storehcuse Of knowl-
edge. Finally, are you daily improving
in character? Be not discouraged be-
cause itcisllittletby little. fhebest men
fall far short. Of what they themselves
would wish toibe: D Isis something atiis
much if you keep good resolutions better
to-day than you did yesterday, better this
year than you did last year, Strive to
be perfect, but do not become down
hearted so long as you are approaching
nearer and nearer to the high standard
at which you aim. Little by little for
tunes are accumulated ), little BY little
knowledge is gained little by little
character and reputation are achieved.

IMPROVE AND REPAIR.-As the time
is close upon US when we have more
leisure upon our hands than dnring the
early part Of the season, farmers should
try to improve. the spare time by carry
ing out some long contemplated improve
ment upon the old farm. There is al
ways upon amy farm hundreds of odd
jobs that are always begging the master
to do them favor, and TO US they seem
to smile after being brushed up. An
old stoneswal1 after being ueatiy'reset,
always richly pays the master for This
labor. Scattering stones-in7the meadow
pay great-interest for their removal
Buildings that are JUST commencing TO
leak, if they be neatly fixed will save a
large; outlay in the neaIfnture. Brush
growing ALONGSIDE the road and around
the walls and fences would furnish good
job and well repay the doing. In fact,
the jobs are numerous upon farm, and
therefore farmer need not find himself
out of work : if he looks about him he
will always find plenty to do. Onegreat
reason why 80 many homesteads are de.
serted is simply because the owners have
let the odd jobs increase too much. The
case is but seldom seen where a neat,
we'll kept homestead is allowed to fall
into the hands of strangers. There is
generally some member Of The household
that will contrive plan. to keep farm.
There, is nowhere upon earth that nature
lavishes her gifts soprodigall as inl the
country. Nowhere can'mana make him.
self more happy than upon farm. All
he wants is a will to do it, and that he
must furnish alone. We think a farmer
upon neat farm is about the happiest
Of men, and particularly about these

Carting out Manure.

In hauling out manure at this season
Of the year. upon fields to be ploughed
in April or May, if the heaps be made of
size TO equaiize its distribution, the
same as wonld be made-if, the land we're
toibei iploughed without delay, there will
he great loss in the manure by the .es-
cape of its ammonia and drying of the
surface of the heaps. Suppose two
horse load of first-rate stable dung be
splaced in six heaps.in n;a.fsldSin Februa-
~, and this manure remains lin these
heaps to the middle Of April, or the fore
part of May, and are then spread and the
land ploughed, how much loss does the
manure sustain9 Mothers than 10 per
cent. Men argae frequently thstthe loss
is not so much; but it cannot, / think
q be less than 10 per cent. There must be
a certain degree of loss--more than far
mers can afford to lose-and the question
is, how isgthis loss 10 be prevented ? One
way is to wait till the ground is to be
pl6ughed, and then haul out the manure
and plough it under as fast as it is spread.
But farmers are too busy to haul it out
then. and are compelled often to draw it
out in the winter. If one must, do so it
would be good plan to make the heaps
large, but not too large TO be spread
properly with a little extra hard labor;
pack them, as ,solidly as. possible, and If
they be well built up and trodden down,
they may lbemade socompact with'aslit-
tie labor that not over one or two per
cent. loss will take place. Another way
is to put only three OF four very large
heaps to thesacre, make them compact,
as in the foregoing ease; and wheIi the
time comes to spread the manure tske a
team and sled with movable side boards
and proceed to remove some of the ma
nure to other places, so that when it is
spead it will be evenly distributed. 1t
would be but short operation to remove
part of the manure in that way, and /
think that the labor can we'll be afforded
by farmers, rather than lose so large a
portion of,their stable dung by evapora-
tion, rs the ordinary method of hauling
out manure in the winter is sure to cause.

and patients afflicted with it reconcled themselves to
death without making an effort to escape from a
doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. 1t is
