Whateverv tf home made mantres you intend ffyr Ctottrm, re-ad over this kleld and plogh in before the 1st of Februarv. Let the land be well pulverized. If elay predominates, the field will bea;r a he -0y coat of litter from 'thte voois, especially if closely pas. t ired ty stock last summer. The beA stab!o mantire will do no harm ; ptt in tit this time, &ven if fifteen minutoils do not intervenc between the time of digging up in the stable and thd covering over it the field.- 'PiTe decomposition of manure or any vege. tablo matter in the soil is- les'irable, inasseeh as te gases given~ out in the process are ab'so'rbed antd i'eta?nied by the hungry soil, and afford niutri. ment fort tho first plants that rise 0n it. If Outno is to be tused it should not be applied till you are about ready to putt in your seed, as its volatile na. ture eauses its stimulati-ng properties toi rushi rapidly through the whole bed, rise to the surfaso and travel off to 2tdjm'tcnt fields or forests. Corn tmay properly follow eotton, providetd there be a generous sprink.. ling of fertilizAerc; peng may be plant. ed1 amontg the corn, after it has at t sined suflicient sise as not to be in. -jured by th'e vines. Corn may be followed by wheat or oats, or rye. No injury is likely to result to- the crop if fau gife' theo whole field a sprinkliag of lime, or stable manure, or litter fronm the wonds or' fence corners.

The Dark Year of 1816. A Detroit paper judging from (1 course of the wnather this wititc thinles we are likely to have "anoth year i ithout a sumier," and t I, goes on to acnifort its Ieaders wi these assuring words ! If the pinching weather freez young or old blood into a horror worse things tI come, it nay conso such to know that wOre things la happened, and the world survive, The year 1816, or the year "cighte< hundred and starvdd to death," wi also known as "the year witl oft a buinmbr," anti the colde ever experienced within the memoi of man on this or the Eastern Contii ent. The previous December wi very cold ; but January was so mil that fires were hearedly neellel February was also genial, followed b an ordinary Marcb, with cold an boisterous opening weather, but milt or at the close. A aril Was more ik winter than spring. A fe-ooious Ma killed buds and frqits with half a inch of ice, and the Gelds werU plab ed and replanted with corn, which we constantly nipped by the frost. Fros Ice ahd snow in Juie killed near] every green thing, and destroyc nearly all the fruit. Saow fell tom inches deep in Vermont, and covere the ground in Mas.sachusetts and No, York. On the fifth of July ice thie us window glass was formed. India corn was badly damaged and wha .4urvived was still more injured b the August ice. Farmers wer obliged to plant in the spring of 181 the corn of 1815. It cost from fou to five dollars a bushel. The \V e tern farmers who are burning thei corn for fuel many take the hint. TIh rqst of the year was icy and frosty ending In i amilti anti eotnfurtable De comber. The sun seemed to impar very little heat ; nature looked a melancholy as in November, ani men's ininds were depressed with anx inty fur the future; The averag wholesale price of lour was thirtee dollars a barrel.
