The experience of the farmers of England, and other portious of Europe, in the seed of small grain, lias long since established the advantages of this method of seeding. In deed, the English fanners are not satisfied with the great advantages of the drill over broadcast sowing, but they even go to the still greater expense of dibbling in tho seed by hand, in order to secure greater uniform ity in the depth and manner of depositing the seed. But in our country the low price of land, and the scarcity of labor require that we should adopt some more expeditious method of seeding, and at the same time se cure the greatest possible benefit, over the primitive method of scattering the seed pro miscuously over the land, without regard to depth or distance. In broadcast sow ing, one-eighth to nne quarter of the seed is lost by being either covered too deep, or by not being covered at all, and liable to be picked up and devoured by birds, &c, before it begins to vegetate. Seed deposited sn irregularly, exposes the plants to injury from drought, as well ss to the action of frost in heaving the roots out in winter. The various improvements made in the grain drill have rendered it quite per fect, so much so thit anr required quantity of seed may be dropped upon an acre, and at the same time at unilorm depth. The action of the drill upon the land leaves the ground in the best possible condition to pro tect the crop during winter from the washing rain and the injurious action of frost. Run ning the drills north and south, when practi cable, secures another great advantage in giving tree access of sun and air, and thus in a great degree checking the tendency to rust. Besides the savins in the amount of seed ; sown.it ha been ascertained that on most j lands the drilled wheat will yield from three merits.

MAN" I RE. The following extract is from the corres pondence of L. Ilai licit in the Country (im tltman. The subject i.f manure fails to re - ceive it proper share ol attention unless pro- piietors are driven to that nece.s.tr by tlie extreme povei tv of their land. The amount ol manure undonui'Uiy ueponu on tne care used in saving it, but the following estimates exceed any idea we had formed on the sub- ,..... t jert. The authority, however, is gnml, and jn our practice saturated clay or muck has given entire satisiaction t In speaking oi manure. Acer mvs t But few farmers can buy manure. They must manufacture it. Esch head of cattle, and eirh Imf.e will make veailv ten Iwii.horae ' loads if the thing is will managed. The good (, . ' cf,m . . ..I ,.U lid excrement, or about one bushel or 83 lbs. per day. i Forty bushel is a gnml ti.ed load for a common cart nr load lor two horses. Then the cow makes s load every, foiiy days, and there is a trifle over nine i timet forty days in year. Then we get nine loada nf clear cwinanure annuallv j from one cow, besides the urine, which, it is ! said, if prnfierly saved, is worth as much for i Wf" h "ementa. i .- ine luaiia 111 roiiii nines, or citvev main tai- , . " - - urated with the urine of a cow for a year, would, with th solid excrements, make eighteen loada of forty bushels each from one cow. There is no theory nr guess work about the above statements. 'The lood as above, fed to, and the dnng voided by a cow in a week, has been accurately ascertained by weight ami mrssiire omier ine viguani supervision of Dr. Dana, ot Lowell, A! ass. Mr. Alexander, wh kept a large milk es tablishment in lagnw, Scotland, found that while his cows in the stsbl were mak ing sit loads of sol it! manure, the urine would saturate seven loads of clayey loam, each of which, for immediate effect and du rability, was equal to a load of the solid ma nure. " '. I I An-account of Mr. Quincv'i loilinz system hat often been alluded to in the agricultural journal, ao we need only repeat, aa regarda the quantity ot manure that can be derived Irom each cow annually, when kept moat ot the time in the barn, " if the thing is well managed." Mr. Quincy says: "One eow will produce three and a half corda of aolid and the same of liquid manure; this composted with twice its amount of muck, would increase the a mount to twenty-one corda of manure a year from one cow." From the facts cited, it will be seen that so fat' from Acer'a over-estimating, " if the thing1 is well managed," he has fallen far short from the amount of manure that can and ought to be made from each head of cattle, and each horse." In this section sit eems to be the opinion of some farmers, that a ton of hay, when fed, wilt make a cart-load of manure. They sometimes sell the taverner, trailer, or me chanic some of their best hay, and fir fear of injuriag their farms by the sale or the hay, stipulate that they shall have a cart-load of .nanure to draw back on to their farms for each load ol hay sold. Front observation in our drive about the country, we believe there are a vast many farmer that do not realize one good load of manure for each ten of hay expended. Their cattle ate out of the burn belure the boys start for school, and remain out till the boys return st night. The cat tie are out of the yard, most of the day, and obtain their drink at some distant brook or spring, and the manure is scattered broad cast and mostly lost. That in the hovel is thrown out to receive the drippings from the roof. .Slow, when audi farmer are told that ten loads of first-rate manure can be made annually from each of their rattle and each horse, their reply is, " That's bonk farming;" yim can't tluffut with such ontiie as (hat I" ' we know belter." GOLD; OR A TRIAL OF WOMAN'S LOVE. Mr. Adam Flidge, nf Moddvbrook. U. S.. returned from California, after an absence of two years, bringing home with him seven thousand dollara in gold. This snug sum was considered a fortune in Muddy brook; Muddybrook, accordingly extended its arm to receive the amiable Adam; although I am sorry to say the Flidge family being poor, fie young adventurer never had hcen appreciated by his townspeople, until the new a that he had inide a fortune in Califor- nia opened their eves to his extraurdinarr : hi.n were fond as the breath nf spring to the bleak hills and tempest-tendered trees.

He firmly believing himself the most lorluiiate fellow in the world. But while Adam w as so happy, somebody was very miserable. To every "laugh of his aomrboily echoed a sigh. While the balance of his happiness" was full, that nf another kicked the beam. I hat other was his luster ! sister the fair Rose w ho had loved him ever, j from his youth upward, with an unaltered tfTectiun.

I he a lairer than Matilda, and it must i.v wwb a miu wMikn a,auei;ii Jtuilfll to prefer the portion of the latter to the thar Offer of Ror-e. Adam, in effect, did not appreciate Rose. He did out understand her. Could he have known how she loved him, the startling truth might have brought him to his senses. But he was one of Cupid's bats; he could not e the light. Olten, after his return, he discovered tears in (he soft ryes of Rose, " My dear sitter," he would ay, what is the matter r" fool, Hot to see fool, not to discover, in her evasive answer, the grief which was breaking her heart ! Blind, indeed ! he an pea red td see nothing except the rharms of Matilda, and the glitter or his gold, which he kept locked up in a stout oaken chest, previously to investing it in a farm fur self aud wife." Now, Adam had many old friends, who warned him against Matilda, and hne wise Counsel was despised. His hthcr snd elder 'brother begged hun to make a different choice,! ivmica.siiiij m convince nun mat ii was on ly his money that Matilda loved. And Rose dear silly, limbing Unse "Do vou' think I'm a baby?" cried Adam ( yielded herself without a struggle, and Ad once, in Rose's presence " Can't I read a am took her home in triumph, woman's heart?

Vpup which buiti left the house ever aud ever. in different directions. Rose, trembling and weeping, remained alone. It is a rather singular coincidence, that on the very next morning Adam opened his eyes considerably wider than usual, on first setting up, at the strange, startling sight that made him trem ble anu grow taint. 1 he im ot the ouk client was lilted.
