FALL PLOWING,
MORALLY, man is said to require "Line
upon line and precept upon precept," and
not less does the farmer require his atten
tion to be called, in season and out of season,
to his duty of thoroughly preparific b his soil
for the future' crop. The frost of winter
works wonders upon a stubborn clay soil
when turned up in the autumn. No imple
ment, hand or horse, can so. thoroughly dis-
integrate it; besides, it sweetens and purifies
the soil from unfavOrablescidS, and"thus•en
ables the farmer to ploW his land deeper
than in spring. " Every farmer, especially
one who owns heavy land, shotild endeavor,
gradually, to: deepen his surfade soil front

true time to do thiS. '.''Somo: years since 'we

PURE MILK FOR LARGE CITIES.
Tins subject, of vast importance' to t,he
people of large cities, we'observe . hds attrae,
ted the attention of the Philadelphia' Society
for promoting agictilture, as appears by it§
tail meeting. We hope they will give it 'a
thorengh sitting, and' the' ',evil being an' ad
!flitted one, suggest some remedy by which
the water can be mixed 'by the retail pur
chaser, to suit his or her taste, and not be
paid fur as milk. Living" ourselve in the
country, and dining in the"city, We have not
I:infrequently found that the pouring- the
article hero called cream into a cup of tea,. or
coffee has barely celOred it. = So accustotned
have some of our citizens ,become to Well:
watered milk, as hardly to 'kilo* what a
genuine article is; and the middle men or
milk dealers, &est/biing - on this, continue
furnishing the watered variely.' The ques
tion is an open one, and, wki presaMo will
never be satisfactorily settled'hoW or where
the water gets in, whether it is Schnylkill
water, or spring,, or well WA,ter from the
country. It is perhaps imiiiatieriEll which—
tee ets, per quart being too much for it.
We have heard of one case where a far
mer, having newly 'Converted his grazing
liirm into a milk - dairy' and unaccustomed
to the trade, doirimenced supplying new
milk to his cuttoiners. ' He was soon dis
charged by one of them, on the ground of
his article not being good, "as a scum always
rose on it (titer ,standing."
In the cheese faCtoiiies in New York State,
where the character'of the milk, determines
the character of the cheese t they use both_
the lactometer and hydro Meter for testing,
the proportion of water. IR one of our re
cent numbers there was . ` accOunto,'f a 4tur
suit on this question, at titida, the company
being plaintiff and the 4 farmer defendant.
Three able lawyers on each side were .en
gaged, and the.jary decided in; favor uf .the
defendant, that these tests were not of suffi
cient scientific accuracy to found a verdict
"Pon. As six lawyers and a jury trial Of a
Week is rather a fearful ordeal, it is proba
ble the Philadelphia Society will find the
subject a difficult one; but a great public
..fiod will have been accomplished, if there
is any way of ensuring a suppy of pure good
milk in our cities and towns.—Practical

JOHN JOHNSON, of Geneva, N. Y., it is said,
sows about five bUshels of salt to the acre,
at the time he soWs his'‘wheat. He finds it
gives stiffness to the straw, prevents rust,
and causes the wheat to ripen several days
earlier.

WHAT RED CLOVER DOES.
S. Edward Todd, in the course of a dis
cussion before the New York Institute Club,
referred to the fertilizing power of red clo
ver as follows : "On the heavy, stubborn
soils of the slopes of our northern lakes, the
production of red clover has been of incal
culable value in renovating and changing
the character of these stubborn soils, so as
to render them more productive from year
to year. Under the ameliorating influences
of a crop of red clover, farms that produced
scarcely a remunerating crop when the vir
gin soil : was first turned up with the plow,
now yield. ,annually heavy crops of choice
wheat or , ther grain. The distinguishing
characterietic of red clover as'a renovator
of the soil, is to produce vegetable mould or
humus. Where humus abounds in large
quantities in the soil, red clover is not the
fertilizer reqUired. But where, the surface
is not covered ; - by a stratum of :the
mould,
red clever ban'be raised with eminent satis
faction and ';profit. Our 'mos t ~extensive
Pennsylvania 'farmers understand and 'ap=
preciate, the excellence and,eifibiency of red
clover. Alinost. our entire country ' has got
to renovate with red' clover. Old' and irnj
poverished fields Will eventually. be made
to - feel. the ameliorating influences of the
efficient renovator" of poor and badly,'m'ari:
aged soil. And this great tin'd' desirable
change will be wrought bytheproduc'

THE BEST' STRAWBERRIES.
[To those inquiring for the most desirable
variety of the strawberry, we commend the
fbllowing exceedingly enlightening exper
iences related in . the bippigmeethig of the .
National Pomological ? Society, held in St.
Louis, September 11. The conclusion reached
will be "clear as mud."]
Mr. Jordan bad been so deeply interested
in the subject, that he had this season trav
elled over two thousand miles to see straw
berries in different ,sections.
'Mr. Hoag said a; friend of his had found
the Agriculturist variety fail in sandy soil,
and he himself had it fail in clayey sea.
4. member said the originator of the Ag
riculturist himself 'regarded the Green Proli
fic as superior.
Dr. Edwards, Missouri„ for, two years had
found no strawberry to compare with the
Agriculturist in quality,aad pro,ductiveness,
unless the Green Prolific. He referred to
Dr 7 Morse to corroborate his statement. His
tri i al of the Jucunda was limited. Saw it at
Pittsburg, but it did,not equal what he had
since, seen of the Green Prolific. But in dif ;
ferent localities various results were found.
He fOund the Triomphe de Gand not worth
culture.
Mr. Quinette, Missouri, had seen the.Ag,
ri I turist„ extensively, and ,it was every
where inferior. , . 7

Mr. Parry had proved it excellent in his
region, and, his experience with it was-highly
favorable. , ;
Jl.lO U NDA • STRAWBERRY.
Mr. Hooker. Three years' trial with it
had pleased him.. It cwas of .good size, fair,
healthy, productive and second in quality.
Mr. Heaver. Most have tried the Ju
cunda; it has merit in appearance, but in
quality it is'about as good• as a turnip. He
thought it an imposition. [Applause:]
Mr. Hoag had five years of Rwanda, and
it had done well; brought a good price. >lt
is not first in quality, but good ; more pro
ductive. than the. Wilson, and 'a valuable
market fruit.
Mr, --- got more quarts from a Wilson
than berries from a Sucunda. •
Mr. Stevens ; St. Louis, knew of gentlemen
strongly in favor of it, and gOing• largely
into its cultivation. •.• , „
• Mr. Knox had tested: it thoronghly and
used no deception, and defied the most criti
cal examination. ; uniformly large, has
perfect beauty in=form and color, and , yields
enormously. Seeing it on My-grounds said
Mr. K., you ask,'" low is it possible ibr
vines to yield so much'?" As for flavor,
that's a matter of taste. Some like , the
Wilson, others the Triomphe de Gand,
Others tolerate neither. If to the gentle
man .it. resembles the turnip, he either grows
fine turnips or has a fine taste for that vege
table. [Laughter.]
POULTRY-KILLING AND DRESSING;
Poultry killed and dressed by some per
sons resembles the breaking up of a hard
winter, rough and dirty, while in the hands
of the experienced the defunct f4wls look as
smooth and unruffled as though slain by
touch ethereal. In Geylins' Poultry Bleed
ing the following excellent 'directions for
dressing poultry are given: "Open the beak
of the fowl,
,then with a pointed and narrow
knife, make an incision at the back of the roof
which will divide the vertebrae and cause
immediate death ; after which hang the fowl
up by the legs till the bleeding ceases ; then
rinse the beak out with vinegar and water.
Fowls killed in this manner keep longer and
do not present the unsightly external marks
as those killed by the ordinary system of
wringing the neck. When the entrails are
drawn immediately after death, and the
fowl stuffed, as they do in France with pa
per shavings or short cocoanut fibres to pre
serve their shape, they will keep ranch long
er fresh. Some Breeders cram their poultry
before killing, to make them appear heavy;
this is a most injudicious plan', as the undi
gested food soon enters into feimentation,
and putrefaction takesplace, as is.evinced by
the quantity of greenish,putrid 7 lOpking
fowls. that are seen in the ma rkets;"

THE WHISKY TAX.
When the Government found it necessary
to, frame a• tax bill Which should yield a
large 'revenue, it was a udaninadlis feeling
among all temperate and gdOct men that as.
much Of the burden' as possible :should, be
placed upon intoxicating 'Uglier.; The ,tax
upon .whisky, or distilled spirit, Nyas, fi fly
fixed at two dollars per gallon ; The various
bran Ches of ' 'art and industry - depen
dent upon .Spirit, , iir the sh4e of: alcohOl;
readily accommodated themselves to the.in
creased cost, the Tariff beipg altered:, in
such
,a manner as to protect their predu,cts,
PrObably no ri,ght-mihded man objecta to
the amount of this tax upon he liquor traf
fi'd: r If it =were'double, or even made su'ffi
&lent to:yield'the, whole of our,neceSsary re
yenne, we ‘ Should, think it well-placed., But,
the practical workings of the tax,, they
are develoPed ever clay, raise' a serious
iiuestion. By secret distilling, or La sinall
fractional return of the amount
by the connivance of- officials,—by the cor
ruption of Government is,
defraufied out of. nineteen-twentieths, of its
dues. The tax, 'by making, a noniinal high
price afford§ to the smugglers 'a large Mar
gin df profit,,and they accumulate
. princely
fortunes: Many ai coarse ruffian displays, to
puzzled eyes, costly diamonds and, heavy
,jewelry which are the fruits of such villainy.
By 'secret cOinbina.,tions, the contraband
whisky league hits become one of the most
powerful monied interests in the .country,
and openly boasts that " the ring" is, too
strong to be,broken. The corrupt or, weak
official is bribed,—the scrupulous intimidat
ed and Overwhelmed. They do not shrilik
from murder: The poor fid'dler; who a feW
months since, without any apparent Offence ;
was left weltering in his blood oil , the side
walk, had been ,employed by,,*.e.t.Rsvenue
detective.
' Besides this fearful and wide-reaching de-
moralization, the effect upon some Manufac
tures is disastrous. Among the chemikts,
pharmaceutists, varnish Mel), &c.,; who. Con
sume alcohol, some are too conscientious to
endure complicity in any fraud upon the
Government, and have therefore sought to
ififitain spirit which 'has paid its tax. BuEin
so doing, they are unable to compete - with
their unscrupulons neighbors, who secretly
buy smuggled 'spirits, and their business is
ruined. One manufacturing firm of this
city, producing such essential articles as
chloroform, ether, spirits of ammenia, &c.,
has submitted to the decay ofan important bu
siness in those articles because of their stead
fast refusal to buy any but dutY-paid spirit.
And more than one honest mau ' cr
`enaged in
rectifying alcohol for mechanical and t ' scien
tific uses, has been forced entirely out of
business.
The distillers, who profit so hugely by
this state of affairs, are sometimes heard to
complain of the heavy tax laid upon their
calling; but they secretly use every influ,
ence to maintain it as large as possible, be
cause under the highest tax they have the
widest margin of profit. In this effort, they
acknowledge a principal, vital support from
that influence which dictated the imposition
of the tax, and which, uninstructed, remains
substantially thb same,—the moral and re
ligious sentiment of the community.
Ought not this, influence to, be withdrawn
and reversed ? Should there not be a popu
lar-determination to end this bold unblush
ing 'fraud which shifts its appropriate bur
den to the.shoulders of honest tax-pa - yers ?
After two or three years of trial, in the last
of which the Government has put forth her-,
culean efforts, its best officers acknowledge
that their endeavors have been like the
sweeping back of arising tide'with a broom;
and that, in a country like this, it is practi
cally impossible to reach all the recesses of
this fraud. Liquor is more plenty, and in
toxication more alarmingly prevalent than
ever before. What is the remedy? Some
have urged a reduction of the tax to one dol
lar, to fifty cents; to twenty cents. But a
slight calculation shows that the smallest of
these sums would still offer an enormous
premium to rascality.. Apparently, the
only 'effectual remedy is, the entire removal of
the tax,—or its reduction to an amount so'
small that it would be no-object to evadelt.
Probably more revenue would be gained, at
the same time that the temptation to fraud
would be withdrawn, and the support uttei
ly knocked away from the ismugglers, by a
tam of five cents per gallon, or even the five
per cent. assessed upon other manufactures.
That the liquor traffic might not feel any
encouragement from such a course, the tax
should be replaced by a heavy license, which
can be collected with comparative ease and
certainty.
It is earnestly to be hoped that the corn
,
ing . ' -congress may successfully combat
this giant' evil. The people of the whole
