£hc £mw's Jqmvtmcnt. Classification of Soils. Soils are named from the amount or proportions of the various substan ces which enter into their formation. If a soil consists of sand, it is call ed a sandy soil. If the largest portion is clay, it is called a clayey soil. When lime predominates, it is call ed a calcareous soil. Those substances may exist togeth er, but in different proportions, in the same soil, in which case it usually re ceives a distinct name. A mixture of sand a"d claj-, with n small proportion of lime, is called a loam. If it contains much lime, it is cal led a calcerous%am. If it be composed of clay, with much lime, it is callcff a calcareous clay. A certoin proportion of these sub stances has given specific names to soils. Pure clay, which is commonly called pipe clay, is composed of about sixty parts silica and forty parts of alumi na, with a small quantity of oxide of iron. This kind of clay contains no silicious sand which can be separated by washing with water. It forms but a small rmnntity of soil, and is found in cotnfß'atively few localities. The clay which forihs the strongest of clay soi!.<, consists of pure clay, mixed with from five to fifteen per cent of a silieious sand, which can he j separated from it by boiling or wash- j ing. Clay loam contains fnorn fifteen to , thirty per cent, of fine sand, which can be separated by boiling. The different parts of the soil 111113' he very easily seperated, and it is consequent-; ly more easily worked. Such soils is ■ very properly sought for in these- j lection of a farm. # . A loamy soil contain.* from thirty: to sixty per cent, of sand, which is re- 1 tained so loosely that it con be readi- j ly separated from it by washing. A sandy loam leaves from sixty to i ninety per cen*. of sand. Asandy soil consists mostly of sand, and contain no more than ten per cent, of clay. * In a marly soil the proportions of j lime must be more than five percent., ! but less than twenty per cent. Marls are called sandy, loamy and ' clayey, in accordanco with the pro- j portions they may contain of these substances, provided they be free j from lime, or do not contain more than j five per cent, of this material. Soils are denominated calcareous ; when the proportion of lime exceeds twenty per cent., and thus by quan- j titv becomes an important constitu ent. They are calcareous sands, which take their names from proportion of clay andsiind which diet- may con tain.—Farmer and Gardener. Rot iii Sheep. Professor Simonds lately deliver ed a lecture on "Rot," in which lie j -remarked, —"110 was not there to way that rot was, in all eases, a cura ble affection; but at the same time he was fully aware that many animals which are now considered incurable, might be restored, if sufficient atten tion were given them. He mention ed one fact in illustration. About two years ago, he purshaeed seven or eight sheep, all of them giving indis putable proof of rot in its advanced stage. lie intended them for experiment and dissection ; but as he did not re quire all of them, he kept some un til summer. They were supplied with food of a nutrious quality " free from moisture ; they were also pro tooted from all storms and changes of weather, being-placed in a shed ; the result was, that without the appli cation of any medicine, two of those rotted sheep quite recovered, and wlTen he killed them, although the liver had undergone some change, still the animal would have lived for years. Rot in its advanced stage is a disease which may be considered somewhat analogous to dropsy. A fluid of a watery character accumula ted in various parts of the body, chief ly beneath the skin ; consequently some call it the'"water rot," others the '-fluke rot;" but these we're mere ly indications of the same disease in different stages. If Jlukes w ere pres ent, it was evident that in order, to strike at the root of the malady, they must get rid of the ilukcs, and that could only be effected by bringing about a healthy condition of the sys tem. Nothing that could be done by the application of medicino could act 011 them (the parasites,) to affect their vitality. It was only by strengthen ing the animal powers, that sufficient tone could be given to the system to throw off the*flukes: for that pur pose many advocated salt. Salt was an excellent stimulant to the diges tive organs, and might also be of ser vice in restoring the biliary secretion, from the s!6da which it contains. So well is its simulating action known, that some persons always keep salt in the troughs containing animal food. That salt was a preventive they had good proof, seeing that it mattered not how wet the sod might be in salt marshes, no sheep were ever attacked by rot in them ; while infected sheep that were sent to salt marshes, al ways cameback free from the disease. Salt, therefore must not be neglect ed. But then came the question "Could thev not do something more ?" }le believed they could. They must throw tonics into the system, especi ally those that were obtaihed in the mineral kingdom. He would prefer the sulphate of iron—iron wa<3 form ed in the blood of animals—and used in the form of sulphate, it gave a greater tone ami energy to the framo than in any other form ; its use, therefore, ough never to be neglect ed in the earlier stages of the dis ease. He had already attended to the fact, that when the liver did not per form its fifhetiens greater effect was made by the kidneys to depurate the blood. The kidneys should therefore, be stimulated ; but he must not be supposed to advise the exhibition of strong diurectics, which would in dnce debility, of medicines, which would give strength to the frame, and at the same time act on tho kid neys; for which purpose nitric ether was an agent that ought to be em ployed. The principles lie wished j tu lay down were, to husband the an imals' powers, by placing ftlcm in a situation where they should not be ex- 1 posed to the debilitating effects of cold storms —to supply them with nu trious food, such as contain but a small quantity of water ; and to mix salt with the food : like wise to ad ministeu sulphate of iron and occa sional doses of nitric ether.—Far mer and Gardener. To MAKE FA KM 1 NO PROFITABLE. — Every beginner in farming, by secur ing the following escentials will suc ceed. Buy no more land than the.ie is capital enough to pay for with one third more for surplus. A siujdL farm free from debt, with pbjntyWßf means to stock it, anil carry on its" vjyjrk, will yield more than* a larger one encumbered with debt, conducted feebly in every part, with bad fences, ; poor implements, bony animals, weedy fields, and thin crops. Lay out the fields in good order, so as to give ready access to every field at all times, passing through other fiel'ds. Provide good fences and necssary gates, and valuable time will not be lost in driving out intruding animals, nor crops lost by their dcprcdat : ons. Furnish good farm buildings to se cure properly the crops, and to af ford shelter to animals. Select tho best aniina's and the best implements that can bo secured for a'reasonable price. Bring the soil into good condition by manuring and draining, and keep it so by p. jddicious rotation. Effect a clear and systematic ar rangement of all the work, so that there shall be 110 clashing or.confu sion. Employ diligence and energy, and adopt careful management. — Far mer and Gardener. HUMAN FKET.—The French foot is meagre, narrow and bony; the Spanish is small and elegantly curved—thanks to its Moorish blood,corresponding with the < ,'as tilian pride—" high in the instep." The j Arab foot is proverbial for its high arch; a "stream can run under the ho low of I it." The foot of the Scotch is large and j thick ; that of the Irish, flat and square : the English short and fleshy. The AID or-! icau foot is apt to be disproportionately small. A foot, for both beauty and speed,should j be arched, fail if rounded, and its length ! proportioned to the lieighth of the per son. . Tho ankle, especially of women, should express tenderness —should be' round and firm, and not too small. The reader may readily trace the marked pe culiarities of a nation by the form of the feet of its people; and from the national characteristics evinced by the feetrlready cited, it will be perceived that the ablest people, intellectually, enjoy the advan tages of the firmest understandings. Judged by this theory, the inhabitants of our Middle States occupy the highest scale in the intellectual entitles; forwith out their feet being so diminutive as are those of the Orientals, they add to the firmness of the English, Scotch and Irish feet, the arched elasticity of tho Arab and .Moor. we enjoy tho blessings of such superior feet, how great is the cause of re gret that we have not better shoemakers! There is not. one of them in a hundred who understands the first principle of fit ting tho toe easily and gracefully. They vainly suppose that by tracing the shape of the sole on a piece of paper and then measuring round the toe. heelaud instep, they have thereby obtained the shape of the foot; whereas they have not even de rived the data from which to guess its shape. If in High Art the aphorism by Raphael that " outline is the picture" should always be regarded, how much more implicity should be adhered to in dressing the feet! The shoemaker must obtain tho shape of the foot before he can find it. The size is not the shape, lie sides the size, the artisan should ascertain the height of the instep from a dead lev el. This piece of art-philosophy, shoema kers would do well to study. Vaf A private letter from off Charles ton states that the rebel officers recently sent to Geu.
