the first and mildest trials of Abraham's
ence. and the promise as reward of l.is fidelity,
that In "him all the families of the earth should bebUwd." The s-cond trial, wMch required the sacrifice of his son, was many years afterward, and the promise was more explicit, and more precisely assigned as the reward of his obedience. There were between these periods two intermediate occasions, recorded in the 15th chapter of Genesis on the first of which, the word of the Lord came to Abraham !n a vision and promised him he should have a child, from whom a great and mighty nation should proceed, which, after being in servitude 400 years .n a ttrange land, should become the possessors of Canaan from that of Egypt to the river Euphrates. On the second, the L ord appeared to him and his wife, repeated the promise that they should have a child, that "Abraham should surely become a great nation," and that "all the nations of the earth should be blessed in htm," "for I know him, saith the Lord, tliat he will command his household after him, and that they will keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgement, that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him:" from all which it is obvious that the first of the promises was made as subservient and instrumental to the second that the great and mighty nation was to be raised as the means ia the ways of God's providence for producing the sacred

Early Planting.
latrge Yield f Corn. A farmer of Lyman, (Me.) raised the past season on ona acre of ground, 217 bushels of ears, which produced 1 10 bushels of shelled corn. There were 52S0 hills in the planting, consequently 4S hills produced on the average a bushel of shelled corn. The hills were counted and measured by three ofthe farmer's neighbors. A sample of the corn was left at the office of ths Saco Democrat. Smut in Wheat. A correspondent of the Gennessea Fanner states that he took six fine heads of wheat, and three W them he rubbed out and sowed with as many heads of smut The product was twa thirds smut, as was found by cutting tho heads rn the crop. The other three heads were sown in a clear place remote from the ethers, not a particle of smut was produced. This experiment entirely accords in result with others, showing conclusively the importance of cleaa seed. Taaroagh Cultivation. We copy the following judicious remarks, on
this absolutely necessary auxiliary to the production of good crops, from the Farmer's
Monthly Visitor: "The land should be kept
loose and finely pnlvereed to a considerabla
epth, that the root may easily penetrate tha
soil in any direction. Under eoch management
i the rain will ma down, instead of running fl", as Is the ease where the rround becomes drv.
sw af hard and baked.
The water that descends in a well managtd
soil will in any port rise by evaporation, and supply the deficiency in time of drought. It la
frequently the case, that so far from thorough cultivation, the manure is only coarsely mixed
with the soil, and it remains undisturbed through the season, the weeds being cut down and tha
earth barely stirred a little at the surface. Tha consequence is light crops.
W lien the soil is very light and dry, there is a
great advantage in stirring it qnite deep. By-
deep ploughing among corn, on a sandy hill, tha
effects of dronght have been avoided in a very dry season."
TVorU for .tlar. Yonr whole force will be required In thla
month. If the season has been late or wet, Tctt
still have your corn to plant. Pastures will bt
ready Tor your slock; remember to salt your stock every wesk. Weeds will now do their
beet to take your crops. Your potato crop
should be put in, as there will be little daneer of
frost After the 1 Sth, you may put out swest potato slips. If you have not grass land for pasturage, try for one season, the system of soiling.
e. seeping up your cattle in the yard or homa
lot, and cutting green fodder for them every day. An acre or two of corn, sown broad cast.
or oats and millet, should be tried. Above all other things, if you have warm, deep, sandy loam, put in an acre of lucerne.
During the last of this month, and at the be
ginning of the next, prnning may be dona. If
the limbs be large, cover tha stump with a coat of paint, wax, grafting day, or any thing that will dxclude air and wet
The garden will require extra labor in all this
month. After the 15th, tender bulbs and tubers may be planted, dahlias, amarylisea, tuberose,
&,c. Teas will require brush; all your plants from the hot bed should by this time be well a growing in open air. Roses will be showing their buds. If larse roses of a favorite sort r
required, more that halfths buds should be taken off, and the whole strength of the plant ba given to the remainder. The soil for this best of all flowers, cannot be too rich, nor too deep.
a-etnsn a proper Food for Crape Tineas A correspondent of the American Agriculturist says on this subject: "Having seen it stated iu a paper of last year, that the ashes of the grape vine contained a large amount of potash, I caused three vines of the same size to be lanted in boxes filled with equal quantities of earth, in which I noted the following result: No. 1 was supplied, when necessary, with pure water, and ia a given time increased si inches in length.
No. 2 was watered with a solution of whale oil soap, and in the same length of time acquired nine inches of growth. No. 3 was waured with a decoction cf potash, and within the same period as above it grew eighteen inches in length! By the beginning of November, Noa. 1 and 9 dropped their leaves and showed no signs of fruit, whereas No. 3 retained Its leaves thren weeks later, and ia the ecu rue ofthe season shot forth several bunches of fruit, which, of course, were not suffered to grow. The above shows the importance of knowing what kinds of salts go to form wood and fruit.
