“'hee .trade grew slack, and notes fell xdue,zthe=merchant's face grew long and blue; his dreams were troubled through Ithe night, with sheriff's bailiffs all in sight.

Hedid as his good wife advised, and straightway went and advertised ; crowds came and bought out all he had, his notes ‘werevpaid, his dreams where glad; and :he will tell you to this day how well did printers' ink repay. He told us with a knowing wink, how he was saved by printer's ink.

$gnxrulturr. Labour. this month, needs to fellow well- matured plans. We shall have rain storms, coming just when we do not want them, putting us back In our work, giving weeds a start, rotting the seed in the ground, and making the land toowet to work. These troubles tend to make men sour, and to dishearten them; but if work is planned ahead for both fair and rainy weather, we shall find that the " set-backs" of May are not very serious ones after all, The season, as it pro- gresses, makes up for early deficiencies, and it is a satisfaction to believe that late, cold springs, or cold snaps that put vegetation back, often do tenfold more damage to inset life, which thus receives often severe checks.

Srnrrm Gnams arm Cassia—It sel- dom pays to sow any spring grain after the first of May. In very backward sea- sons dt may be done, but every day’s delay diminishes the probability of se- curing good crops. If the prime object of sewing grain is to seed to grass, (for the impression is prevalent that to get a good catch of grass seed, it must be sown with some grain crop,—which is a great mistake.) it would be much better to sow the grass alone on the well-harrowed surface, and brush it in lightly.

Roors.—Bcets and mangels ought to bc sown early. The soil should be in the best order it can be put,—deeply tilled, and well manured, and the rows placed two feet apart, so that they may be worked by horse-power. This dis- tance is about as small as will do for field culture. The plants cover the soil well, and as large crops are gained as when the rows are closer. Parsaipsmay be sown in rows equally distant, but the seed should not be so deeply placed, nor should the sowing be done before the soil is warm and dry. Rows of Carrots may be placed a little nearer together— about twenty inches apart is best on most soils—though, in the garden, they are often 16 to 18 inches apart.

Formosa—There should be little delay now in planting the whole of the crop. On poor land. we think animal manure is quite as likely to prevent as to cause the rot; though in very rich soils, no doubt, it renders the plant more liable to take the disease. There is little risk of' potato sets rotting now. if out even to single eyes. Manuring in the hill with ashes and plaster is good practice, but this' dressing is probably equally effective, if placed upon the hill at t c first or secord hoeing. Among the ncentrat- ed fertilizers in market, a good super- hosphste is probably the best application for potatoes. Guano is rather stimulat- ing, but, like castor pomace, which is very good for this crop, must be mixed with earth in the drill.
