The wolves thronging'the interior, leaped at bit with yells of gnaehing rage. Poor old Diock had managed to cling to his idle through it all, and remembering that it htd saved him in the woods, he now,- with the sheer senor y of detiseration,, row his bow abrie ing across the at ilgi, with a sound thail rose high above their deaf e,ning yell1s while, with hig feet kick. 1ing out linto thbeait- he endeavored to avoid their steet-like fangs.

The article in the May number oi t.the Rural artolinian, reminds me ol "theogood old timei" -when f''was a frier-and, I may add, a incoessful one--in vesten North Carolina. I adopted there a rotation whiol suo eeded admirable. I commenced Saith corn, plowed deep, spread all the manure I could gather on the surface, harrowed thoroughly and opened my drill wYith a narrow long hull-ton gue Plow, -running.deep. The plow eing narrow, and land iq good wrdein the *ed when' planted was not more than two inches below tite - surface, but quite deep enough. I cultivated level, Arat running deeply aud very close to the corn with a small subsoil, followed soon after with a cultivator. Seoond plowing, subsoil again,..deep but a littke off, (say -sit or eight in ohes from the corn). I then used the oultivitor as often as practicable un til the corn was between three or four feot high when I put the subs4il as deep as possible into the coetre be tween the corn rows. I followed up with the cultivator and pabsed the hoe through chopping oit.any weeds or grass and leaving everything level an din splendi#l order. This was towards the middle or end of July, in that- olimate. gLgThe laying by of the corn was im mediately followed by the sowing of the grass seed-olover, timothy, red top or any other-ecatlered evenly along the corn- rows. if we had a rain within a day or two after sowing the seeds, the work wasacoomplished. If no rain, then a light brush was dragged through each row by a, mule )r horse, with a small boy to aide and guide. A good walking around would brush itr ten or twelve Bores per day. I never failed to get a good stand ofgruss. planting as deostibed above. You must know, Mr. Editor, that at the la)in. by of the corn crop the toil is in the very beat ooudition, if the corn bas reaceived proper attention. tind work done as should be, gr-as seed put in soil th'at has beens well worked up for several-months, wilb toon make its sp. pearance and grow finely, if not killed out by the hot snn. Now the corn offers all the pro.teotion from the sun that is needed for the gr..ss when it is young. 1y the time the blades are fit for fodder, the grass, is strong enough to take care of itself. After the corn was githorod, (at any time before April) I out the corn etalks close to the surface with a mover or a sharp hoe. If the grass is to be converted into hay the first sea son, the stalks trust be hauled. off ; but if to be grbzed, the stalks after obopping may remain. After the corn stalks have been removed,, and after a rain, when the soil is sufficient. ly soft to admit the pressing 'in of the corn stumps, the meadow must be roll. ed. This may be done lato in spring when% the grass is up several inches high. The rolling will allow the mower to shave very close. By sowing clover on grass seed as above, a full crop of hay may be so onred the following summer-ten or twelve months after seeding. To put in gr.iss seed Pith small grain, the yeung grass will be smothered out if your oats or wheat is of thick and luxerian t growth. Trho corn protects from the sun, but does not in the least smother the young grass. Now for my rotation. I have se cured a good stand of clover after my corn. The clover is cut or grazed off' in early sunmmer : a second crop is allowed to for seed. When the mtost advanced burs (say about one third) turn brown, then put ia the p low and turn everything under deep ly. In fall or spring, plant wheat or oats. After your small grain Is ta ken off you will have quite a sprink lin g of cover to turn under in the etarly fall. Plant corn again in spring, and give yourself no farther concern about your stand of clever. Work your corn well and lay it by in nice condition ; your clover will appear in due time. WVith the above rotation, my form imnproved yearly (beyond my moat sanguineoex peotation). If the 'farmer wili gIve to the sol the second crop of clover (the second crop ,of the season,) he will never have to' re-seed his field. But If he persists in grazing off everything and return nothing, h!is rotation will end in disap pointmnent, and the old cry of "the clover hasrun out." Clover seed should not be planted mno thant a fourth of an Inch deep. Vf buried deep it will remaain in the soil, however, for years without vege tttion ntil brought near the surface onder the influence of atmosphere.

"I ad to work to night." $What, do you work for a living," she inquired in atonishment. "0ertainly," replied the young man, "I1 am a mecbanic." "I dislike the name of moobanlo," and she turned up her pretty nose. That was the last time that young man visited that young lady. He in now a wealthy man, and has one of the nicest women in the county for his wife.

But stra to say overy one he wet turned the r heads and laughed, and some ladi s from the gallery of a residence over the way ran screaming into t e house. 'What did it mean 1" At last he met a little boy whose immoderate laughter drew from hia the indignan$ inquiry 4 "What do you. see about me yen little scoundrel, that everj ody laugh tt?". "Why Mr. D-you've forgot yours pants." Overwhelmed with shame the old gentleman hurried home and eagerly sooght out the mirror. In his.
