SPRING.


when am weary and the spirit flags,
spent with LIES struggle and too dull for
One haven of delight IL still mine own,
All unassailed by care.
In that dear realm the fancy wanders free,
And drinks unsuliied joy at every well;
NV years are lost in the eternal youth
OF thy sweet spell
Too old Tor innocence, too young for rest,
.. NV troubled spirit W anders to thy feet,
DeioFed Spring with ever new delight,
feel thy hearts strong beat
For ever new the radiance of thy smile,
Ihy tender waking out of sleep. how new!
All else is changing that is not yet changed,
But thou remainest true.
Breathe on my cheek for breath that Death
hath stayed,
And kiss my lips for lips that are no more,
Or Di1ng the fragrance of undying Spring
From Heavens far shore.
and II in sunless cities haunts I stray,
And lose thy birds and flowers, this grace
still bring
That somewhere may know thou art on
Earth,
That some see Spring,

Guatemala Volcanoes.

The mountain climbers seem to have
become dissatisfied with the limits Of the
Alps. They are scattering over tho
globe in search Of new peaks TO con

Whymper and his companions among
the giants of the Andes have just boe0

Torrance in Guatemala, where some
fearless explorers clambered to the top
of the active volcano, Ell Fuego, boldly
penetrating the curtain Of dea lily vaporD
about its summit under protection Of .
favoring wind. The volcano and its
neighbor, FL Aqua, have . curious his-
tory. The City of Guatem ala was first
placed near FL Aqua, and in 1541 was
destroyed by an earthquake and inunda-
ton. The humiliation was ascrlbed 10
the mountain, and 90 the city was rebailt
further to the north. This brought u
nearer to FL Fuego, which proved 20 b
as formidable an enemy a. the other
mountain. It shook up the inhabitants
with earthquakes and terrified them with
eruptions Of lava, uAtil in despair they
moved their townia second time. au4s

including several valuable bucks. These

response to my calls for either of them
when visiting the yards. ! also missed
about q dozen ewes. Marks of % bobs'
on the snow near the Enclosure showed
that thieves had been at work, but, al
though I hunted the surrounding coun-
try, 1 could find no traces Of my lost
property. A month elapsed, and re-
ceived q hint as to the whereabouts Of
the animals, and getting search-war-
rant, 1 rode away some twenty miles,
accompanied with the Marshal for the
district, to a settlers farm.
NV request for the return of the loan
was laughed at and theft denied; but be-
ing we'll armed, my companions (by this
time increased in pumber) and myself
insisted on viewing a flock Of sheep
grazing on the prairie some little dis
lance away. When about 100 yards
off 1 commenced ca ling " Jack, Jack,

when to my delight and the extraordi-
nary surprise of the bystanders the sheep
detached themselves from the herd and
came up to me at gallop. The whole
affair was so evident that restitution and
subsequent punishment followed in due
course. The poor animals had been
changed as to appearance in every pos
sible way, but memory (and q hope of

fact was given in court as evidence, and

The Mulch.

The value of covering the soil has
been known so long and so commonly
as to become a proverb-" Snow is the
poor mans manure" Science and ex-
pertinent have shown that what is SO
beneficial in winter is even more adj
vantageous in summer and that few
things can be more harmful than to de-
nude the soil and allow it TINS to re-
main for length of time. They have
demonstrated that the soil is increased
in fertility by covering much more than
the amount of material placed upon the
ground as q mulch. LIST. A large
amount of atmospheric ammonia de-
posted by the rains is retained. I'd. A
certain proportion of water in the soil is
necessary to the best conditions for
chemical action, to make the largest
amount of plant food available and to
enable the fibrous roots of plants to feed
to the best advantage; mulching re-
tards evaporation. Sd. Our torrid sun
acting upon the black, prairie soil, pro-
duces an amount of heat injurious to the
fibrous roots of many plants; mulching
cools and equalizeS the temperature
near the surface. 4th. Sudden ex-
tremes of temperature effect plants, as
animals, unfavorably; mulching equal
ICES conditions, retards the action of
frost and allows the plant to adapt itself
to the change. 9Th. Mechanically; it
breaks the force of the rains and pre-
vents them from compacting the soil.
Other advantages might be named; but
granting at this point the value of the
ton arises, how mulching can be done
inio IN
benefit field crops? On this some sug-
gestions may be made.
1. All the straw, leaves and coarse
waste of the farm should be kept till fall
and spread on the fields to be plowed in
the spring.
2. Scatter as much manure on the
meadow and the pasture late in the fall
as practicable. 1t will waste some by
evaporation. but the mulch will more
than compensate.
8. Keep the pastures and the meadows
from being grazed too closely in the
fall, so that a natural mulch will be
upon the field at the commencement Of
winter.
4. The fields devoted to small grain
should be plowed as soon as the crop has
been removed and sown to oats or rye,
as are best suited to future crops. The
oats would make from twelve inches TO
two feet growth by the first of October,
when the stock can be turned on to
them. Rye can be grazed both in the
fall and in the spring. The blowing
and sowing to oats or rye would thus an
swer several purposes. 1t would de-
stroy weeds, mulch the land and afford
considerable late grazing, each of which
would more than compensate for the
labor. Where grazing is not desired
the oats may be plowed under for green
manure; or a crop of rye may remain
until spring and then turned under for
corn.
Under our present system of tillage,
lands devoted to wheat and oats are al
lowed to mature . crop of weeds after
harvest, or, if plowed to kill the weeds,
remain uncovered nearly nine months
out of twelve to the serious detriment of
the soil.-Professor Knapp, in IoDa Co.,
