THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT. It is not always sunshine In this bright world of ours; Sharp thorns and weeds grow thickest Amid the fairest flowers; In fruits, howe'er enticing, Lurk worm-spots at the core; For each one's bread and butter There is a sanded floor. In lustrous silk there's cotton, In flowing tresses rats, In ermines, soft and snowy, The skins of Thomas cats, In Hebe's form there's whalebone, On-Venus' lips carmine. Old boots are thrown in Sherry To make Madeira wine. The best of golden butter Is oleomargarine; The finest of old brandy Is next door to benzine; The fragrant leaf of Cuba Is cousin to sour-kraut; Too often are the milkman's cans Replenished at the spout. If, then, your reputation Proves quite unfit to air. Pray, how then does it diner From most things seeming fair? And why heap maledictions Because through me?no doubt? You broke the 'leventh commandment? "Thou shalt not be found out ?" [From Puck. Carting oat Manure. In hauling out manure at this season of the year, upon fields tobe ploughed in April or May, if the heaps be made of a size to equalize its distribution, the siirae as would be made if the land were to be plonghed withobt^deJay, there will be a great losa.in the mannre~by-the.es-. cape of its ammonia and, drying of the surface of the heaps. Suppose a two horse load of first-rate stable dung be placed in six heaps in a.field in Februa? ry, and this manure remains -in these heaps to the middle of April, or the fore {?-art of May, and are then spread and the and ploughed, bow much loss does the manure sustain* Not-leas than 10 per cent. Men argue frequently that the loss is not so much; but it cannot, I think be less than 10 per cent. There must be a eertain degree of loss?more than far? mers can afford to lose?and the question is, bow is this loss to be prevented ? One way is to wait till the ground is to be pkughed, and then haul out the manure nd plough it under as fast as it is spread. But farmers are too busy to haul it out then, and are compelled often to draw it nut in the.winter. If one most do so it would be a good plan to make the heaps large, but not too large to be spread properly' with a little extra hard labor ; pack them as solidly as, possible, and if they be well built up and trodden down,, they maybeTxiade so compact with a lit? tle labor that not overfcne^or Jwo per cent, loss will take place. Another way .is to put only three or four very large heaps to the acre, make them compact, as in the foregoing cane; and when the time comes to spread the manure tiike a team and sled with movable side boards and proceed to remove some of the ma? nure to other places, so that when it is' spead it will he evenly distributed. It would be but a short operation to remove a part of the manure in that,way, a nd I think that the labor can well be ajforded by farmers, rather than lose so large a portion of their stable dung by evapora? tion, as the ordinary method of hauling cut manure in the winter is sure to cause. ?T. B.M. _ Improve and Repair.?As the time is close upon us when we have more leisure upon our hands than dnring the early part of the season, farmers: should try to irriprove the spare time by carry? ing out some long contemplated improve I ment upon the old farm. There is al? ways upon any farm hundreds of odd jobs that are always begging the master to do them a favor, and to us they seem to smile after being brushed np. An old 8tone^roU,:1j?fterJ>eipg n-eat"y-res?t? always richly pays'"the* master for "his labor. Scattering stones in the meadow pay a great-interest for their removal.?1 Buildings that are just commencing to leak, if they be neatly fixed will save a large: outlay in therneajrfhture. iBrodr growing alongsde the road and around the walls and fences would furnish a good job and well repay the doing. In fact, tbe jobs are.numerous upon a farm, and therefore a farmer need not find himself out of work; if he looks about him he will always find plenty to do. One great reason why so many homesteads are de? serted is simply because the owners have let die odd jobs increase too much. The case is but seldom seen where, a neat, well kept homestead is allowed to fall info tbe hands of strangers. There is generally some' member of the household that will contrive a plan to keep a farm. There is nowhere upon earth tba^uature lavishes her gifts so prodigally- as in the country. Nowhere can man mate him? self more happy than upon a farm. All he wants is a will to do it, and that he must furnish alone. We think a farmer upon a peat farm is about the happiest of men, and particularly about these times, , _ Rotation of Cbops.?Ajudiccus,^ tation of crops will keep a farm in a good state of fertility without any manure, except what is made on the farm. In the first place, turn over a field in sod for corn, first spreading upon the field what manure yon can spare, and turning it under as fast as spread, or the same day at least. Deep ploughing is .not ne? cessary in ploughing sward land for corn; but it should be turned over flat and evenly, and after harrowing the land, the corn should be planted immediately, so as to get a good start ahead of the grass. The next year-this land may bear a crop of oats, barley or spring wheat Seed it down to clover or to any other grass with it, the clover being necessary to fertilize the land the third year, by turning under a second growth (the first being cut for hay) early in September and sowing the land to wheat or rye, and seed it down to grass again, omitting to sow the clover seed in this case till the following March, when i it may be sown even if the ground should be covered with snow; and as soon as the snow is gone and the ground is dry roll it, and the clover seed will catch well. There is no kind of grass so good a green fertilizer as clover; as its roots penetrate the soil quite deeply, and with the green clover turned under, it is equal in fertilizing and to a moderate spread of stable ma nure- ' ? y vO : .../ "Little by Li,tti.f..?lLyou-.fire, gain-,, ing a little every day, be content.

With such a warning before us, let us at least be prepared to contest the point before we "shuffle off this mortal coil, and we can only be strengthened in our defence by full supply of this invaluable medicine, which, white moving the bowels very gently, purges live whole system. The bowels form but one of the natural outlets for the removal of waste matter and impurities; the kidneys draw away one species of waste matter in the form of water, and the skin another species in the form of vapor and perspiration. All the organs must be stimulated to in? creased but natural action, and thus the whole system, even^to the blood, the very life of the body, is cleansed and made healthy.
