Thus you see, 'tis in your power either to vex or please him. Del which you will, and so farewell.'* ' Order and system, is of as much importance to the farmer ai to other individuals, and a well arranged plan of operations it essential to continued success. '* A place for every things and everything in itsplace,*^ is a first'truth ; a truth that proves itself, land of which the single enunciation is sufficient. The farmer then should have his farm divided according to system ,* his crops hould follow each other in regular order ; the influence of these |governing principles should be felt in every department of his bu iness ; it should be seen in the feeding and management of hii lock, in his fences and gates, and in his houses and barns.

It is wrong to suffer years to elnpio without prariT lag; since when it is then done, the cutting out of branches ofl many years growth, makes large woundx and injures the tree] It will do cattle and sheep goo(i to have the privilege of browsing the prunings as they fall from the trees. A little labour expended on the Orchard every year, will be better than heavy and closel pruniiigs at once. In pruning, the great object is to no thih thi| branches that the sun and air «nn penetrate every part. If ^oa kave young fruit trees, around which the iitow is lying, it is i good plan to tread it firmly around them to keep the neld mice from gnawing the bark, and killing the trees.

The most certain mode of securing good fruit is by grafting ; and the latter part of this month is an excellent time to select and cut scions. It is an excellent plan to remove the grass for a few feet/rom the fruit trees, and with a spade to loosen the earth in the spring of the year. Sometimes the snow ditiappears in Feby., and leaves the wheat fields and meadows bare — it is not uncom mon at such times to see on some farms, such fields covered with cattle, sheep, or geese, trampling or feeding down the young wheat, and the roots of grAss — keep your fences up, and allyoar creatures where they should be, until the proper time for turning Ihem out arrives. Look to the drains'in your fields, and see that |the water courses are clear— water flowing over, or standing oti Winter Wheat, is very sure to kill it. 1S45. MARCH begin! on Saturday.

Salads, radishes, cabbages, potatoes, peas, &c., may now be planted or sown, the earliest varieties of^each should of course be selected for the first planting— asparagus and strawberry beds should be cleaned off, dug over, and manured — none but compost manures of the best kind should be used for such purposes.

The farmer will find it to his advantage to put in his Ispring grains, such as wheat, barley, oats. &c., as early as the noil can be fitted for their reception — the grain from early crops, [when properly put in, is always more valuable than from later )nes; being better filled, heavier, and of a finer quality in other aspects— it suffers less, also, from the injurious efTecld of our Iry summers, by which the later sown is prematurely ripened lanures may now be drawn upon the fiells for the crops to ifhich they should be given— there should be corn, potatoea, and Bther roots ; all of which will bear hi^h manuring; while if the lanure is applied to the grains directly, the product is very apt |o be more straw than berry!

Give constant attention to your animals, and do not imagine that care ceases when the stocl< goes to the fields — do not be in too much of a jhaste to turn them into the pasture— belter keep them on hay |and roots until there is a good bite of grass, than have them, to liatisfy hunger, gnaw the young grass and clover to the very roots —pastures so fed will scarcely recover from the effect during the whole season. More failures occur from bad seed ^vith corn than any other crop ; and prbporlionate care should be used in the selection — it is a good plan, where any doubt exists, to test |the seed by sprouting a given number of kernels; and there should always be a liberal supply of seed used, since all but the inumber required can and should be pulled out at hoeing. To one error in planting corn too early, there are fifty too late. D M 1845. JUNE begins on Sunday. New Moon. 4th d. 8h. 53m. afternoon. First Quarter, 12th d. lih. 99in. afternoon.

As to the value of Guano as a manure, all who have published the results of their experiments in England, concur in the opinion that it is very great. The manner of applying it in England, appears to be various— some mix it with pulverized charcoiil, some with wood ashes, gypsum, &c. The quantity pnerally applied to an acre, was 2 cwt. of guano and 2cwt. of ppium, or 2 cwt. guano and 3 times its bulk of wood, charcoal, r coal ashes, but some considered that a larger quantity would ave yielded more profitably. As a top dressing for Wheat, arley, and Oats, it will it is' said prevent the wire worm from estroying the roots, and all insects, and rats and mice will not emain where it is used, and in many instances have' prevented ildew. 1845.

It cannot be too firmly im|)ressed on the mind of every farmer, (hat it is much easier to keep an animal in good condition, and will require much less food to do it, by not allowing him to fall away, than to restore him alter he once becomes pool —than to keep the fodder until March to raise the animals after the flesh is nearly gone, endeavour so to manage them that frcih the first cold weather, there shall be no falling off in their food or flesh. A good farmer is characterized by benevolence to his animals, not less than by the general management of his tillage or crops — he will keep no more than he can keep well, and llitd his prbfils rather in their excellence, than in their numberi.
