PATIENcE.-Of all who have written of
that sweetest virtue, patience, no one has de-
scribed it so fairly as he who calls it "courage
in repose )" thus presenting to our minds an
image at once grand and modest, in which
sweetness springs out of strength, like certain
beautiful flowers, which, though of marvellous
delicacy, we are told, spring from roots as
deep as trees!
Patience is far higher virtue than noisy,
active courage, since the latter, of all earthly
things, has more Of its entire reward here
while quiet, meek.eyed patience, finds no re,
cord, save in the eternal rolls of heaven. In
its silent work, it is humanity's great puri.
fyer, like the oceans salt and the earth's
suu-its great soother, laying cool hand
like perfected will, upon its passions, and
subduing them.
1t is that part of us most like Christ, for il
is the craciGed and can only be perfected in
life of Gethsemanes and Calvaries. What
being so beautiful here, it will become in
heaven l know not but methinks, when pa
thence arisen is looked for, it will be found

Wet the whole thoroughly as it is being put
up, and tramp down very firmly to prevent
overheating. Thrust stick down into the
mass at intervals, and if, after letting it re-
main ten minutes, it is found uncomtortably
hot to the hand, make numerous holes with
stick or crowbar and pour in water freely
to quench the heat 1t is not necessary to
protect from weather, but do not put under
the caves of buildings. A compost prepared
as above, may be used in four weeks after it
is put up-but 2 to 3 months is better.
The same materials may also be used with.
out composing, by scattering the cotton seed
aud stable manure iu the drill, and afterwards
the phosphate upon them. Do this in Febru-
ary, list with tuo burrows and complete bed
in April
BEDDING COTTON LAND.
1t is well either to bed up now and reverse
beds in April just before planting, or else to
lay off rows, and apply manure, and list with
two furrows and complete bed afterwards.
Two points are gained by the latter. 1st,
where the land is rolling the washing is not
so great with low lists as with high beds; and
End, while time is gained by having half or
more of the work done, fresh surface and
the weeds killed, are secured at planting time.
WASHING OF LAND.
As this is one of the greateet of evils on q
cotton farm, attention cannot he called too
often to modes of preventing it. On very
steep hill-sides nothing but well constructed
bitches can prevent it but on moderate
slopes, we suggest that lines of level be laid
off at ordinary distances of hillside bitches,
and strips FIVE to ten feet wide along these
lines be sown in OATS rye, orchard grass and
clover. No land will be lost, and these un-
cultivated strips will quite e6ectually stop
the washing, if care be taken to lay off the
cotton rows on level.
PREPARING FOR CORN.
On stiff soils break very deep-drought
is the great enemy of corn on uplands. Lay
off rows and put say ] Of the manure to he
given the corn, and list on it. The remainder
of manure apply in siding furrow at first or
second working On uplands be sure to give
good distance. 1t is better to err on the side
of too much than too little.
CLOVER AND GRASSES
May be seeded down this month, just as soon
as the heavy freezes are over. II to be soWn
on small grain, run light harrow over the
land, and then SOW seed if by themselves,
break the land thoroughly, and pulverize it
