Compost for Wheat. — For every acre of 
clayey ground which you intend to put in wheat, 
prepare enough ftompost, as follows, to allow a 
dressing oi ten double horse cart loads, say oi 
40 bushels each. 
Take 10 loads of loam irom the woods, or 
the same quantity of rich mould, or well rotted 
manure, 1 bushel of salt, 10 bushels of char- 
coal, 1 bushel of plaster, 10 bushels of ground 
bones, 10 bushels of lime, add 10 bushels of ash- 
es. Let these be well incorporated together ; 
after letting the whole remain a few days, tarn 
over the mass, and, as mixed together, add twen- 
ty gallons ot urine to each ten loads; taking 
care to sprinkle plaster over it as the operation 
is being performed. A compost thus formed, 
will comprise all the constituent elements which 
the wheat needs, either lor the formation of the 
straw or der?i/, and will prove to be the means of 
greatly increasing the quaribity and quality of 
the product of the latter, while it will also tend 
to maintain fertility in the soil for several years, 
and thus augment the yield of subsequent crops, 
whether they be grass or grain. The above 
would be an admirable mixture also lor a corn 
crop . — American Farm.er.

“SHE’S NOTHING BUT A COUNTRY GIRL.” 
A young lady, daughter of an agriculturist, after hav- 
ing been introduced to a company of professed ladies in 
a neighboring city, heard one of them remark to the 
others in a low tone, accompanied with a scornful 
smile, “ She’s nothing but a country girl.” Upon her 
return home, she sent the scornful iMiss a note, which 
contained something like the following lines : 
I know that I’m a country girl, 
Andmorethan this, I know 
That such far rather I would be. 
Than her I’m writingto— 
For pride of heart, and scornful mien, 
Detestedare, wherever seen. 
A country girl ! and what is there, 
So dreadful in the name ? 
Though” verdant,” yet I’ve too much sense 
For that to blush for shame : 
For it will ever sound as well 
To me, as that of city belle. 
I would not change my country home. 
Where nature’s scenes o’erspread, 
For one where earth can scarce be seen. 
Or blue sky overhead, 
For all the wealth and splendid din. 
Your ‘‘ languid beauties” revel in. 
What think you of our mother Eve, 
Who dwelt in Eden fair 3 
No luxuries which gold procures. 
Or dainties nice were there— 
And as there were no cities then, 
A country girl she must have been ! 
I hope for this you’ll not deny 
Your ancient parentage : 
Unless yourself from all our race. 
You wish to disengage— 
If so, I pray let old and young 
Be now informed from whence you sprung I 
But if, as still I apprehend, 
You are a girl of sense. 
And that it is from pride of heart. 
You make such vain pretence : 
Please know, humility of heart-' 
Does to our sex new charms impart. 
When next in some disdainful mood, 
To say you are inclined, 
“ She's nothin? iiU a country girl !” 
This couplet bear in mind— 
That scornful lips and haughty air 
Ne’er made a homely face more fair- hi. B.

BOMlTfEK rflANE'KE. 
T he bommer method of making 
Matiure has been before the public in the Northern, 
Eastern and Middle States, where it has met with the 
approval of the ablest, scientific and practical agricul- 
turalists, and received, after very thorough practical 
experiment, the sanction of the Legislature of Mary- 
land. Two years residence in the Southern States, en- 
ables the agent to declare that the abundance of cheap 
material at the South, renders the manufacture of this 
manure peculiarly adapted to the Southern planter. 
The right can be had on the following terms : —
