Thorough Draining and Deep Culture
The fact is patent to the most su
perficial observation that the total
sum of the vast production of our ag
riculture is the yield of an average
depth of cultivation of soil not exceed
ing six inches—comparatively a mere
film of the earth's surface. All the
inorganic matter needed by plants,
and all other elements of their nutri
tion and full development that come
from the earth, must be supplied
within this limit, while all the soil be
low this depth is unemployed and in.
ert. The roots of the grain and grass
es do not ordinarily extend below the
depth cultivated; and the average of
this in our country is insufficient either
for protection against drouth, for ad
equate returns for the labor of culti
vation, or for full supplies of farm
products for national consumption.—
We may not be able to calculate the
precise amount of increase in produc
tion due to an additional inch in depth
of cultivation, but experiments have
shown that in many soils it bears, rel
atively, a near proportion to the in
crease in depth of culture ; so that,
where the soil is now worked to six
inches, an inch greater depth of culti
vation would give nearly one-sixth
more production. The agricultural
production of 1867, of those articles
which would be influenced by depth
of culture, has a total value of at least
$150,000, 000. Now, an increase of even .
one-tenth of this amount by an addi
tional inch of culture would add $l,-
500,000, to the value of the annual ag
ricutural production of the country.
An erroneous impression exists rel
ative to the depth to which the roots
of the cereals and clovers, as well as
many other plants, will descend in an
areated and healthy soil. In ravines
that have been filled with surface soil,
or wherever mould is of suitable tex
ture and condition, carrots and pars
nips are often found of a length of
three feet or more; clover roots from
three to four feet ; and instances have
been given of still greater length of
the roots of wheat and oats. With
the prevalent mode of culture, in very
compact soils, wheat roots are so near
the surface as to be thrown out by
the mechanical displacement of freez
ing and thawing, and, and if not lit ,
terly destroyed, they struggle fruitless
ly to pierce the unbroken sub-soil,.
packed, perhaps, by the tread of cat ,
tle for a century, and finally yield to
the blasting power of an early drouth,
blighted, shrivelled, light, worthless
for seed, and of but little value for
bread. The drill, planting the seed
firmly in the earth, instead of scatter
ing it on the surface, already saves
half the winter-killing in the fields
where it is used ; and deep culture,
with proper drainage, would exempt
from most of the remaining lia
bilities, and ordinarily, from all dan
gers of loss from drouth. The advan
tage of additional depth of pulveriza
tion, therefore, would often be far
greater than the proportionate in
crease of depth, and the profit of im
provement would be increased in cor
responding ratio. In this country the
average yield per acre of one of the
principle staples, wheat, under our
system of shallow cultivation, has been
gradually lessened, until at the pres
ent time it does not exceed 12 bushels
per acre, while England, with her
deep tillage and rotation system, has
raised her avearge to 28 bushels. Es
timating our wheat area at 18,000,000
of acres, and allowing an increase of
16 bushels per acre under a system of
thorough and judicious cultivation,
the increased production would
amount to 288,000,000 bushels; and
wheat is but one of the staples to be
benefitted by such an improvement.
Deep cultivation is a prime necessi
ty of root culture, which forms the
basis of English agriculture, and ena
bles the English farmer to pay annual
rents equivalent to the fee-simple val
ue of our farms. The growing of the
" green crops" results in a more thor
ough admixture of the food-producing
elements of the soil and its prompt
permeation by water and the gases,
which are so neccessary to plant
growth.
France, following in our footsteps,
or we in hers, in at least one particu
lar—the want of a proper rotation
system--has reduced the average
yield of wheat to 15 bushels. The sin
gle fact that, while England has two
acres in " green crops" for every acre
in wheat, France has three acres in
wheat for every acre in "green crops,"
and that with us roots are scarcely
raised as a farm crop, explains the
cause of the great discrepency in the
yield of that valuable cereal in these
countries.—Report of Colll72llSioller Of
MANURED POTATOES.—T. Mont
gomery, of Mattoon, 111., writing to
the Rural American on the subject of
raising potatoes, says, that last year
he planted five-eighths of an acre of
Peachblow potatoes. Before pant
ing, the ground was laid off with a
two-horse plow in deep furrows; these
were then filled nearly half full of
very well rotted manure, then harrow
ed over and the potatoes planted and
covered with the hoe. Then another
patch of the same size was planted the
same, except the manure, Nov for
the result, the cultivation being the
same. The first lot yielded 248 bush
els, and the latter only 75. I think
the• manuring paid in this instance,
as it will doubtless always do.
WE think from present indications
that wheat will raise.
The Farmer's Workshop.
No reasonable farmer will dispute
the importance of having a workshop
upon his premises, and especially those
who have boys to' bring up. Boys
will be busy, and if opportunity is not
given for a full employment of their
time, either with work or sport at
home, they will seek diversion abroad,
which will net usually result profita
bly. A farmer gives his experience
and opinion upon the matter in the
subjoined sensible talk:
How many farmers do we find that
have not the ingenuity to repair a
rake, or other small farm implement.
Were they brought up on a farm?—
Yes. Well, then, why is it? Some
may say they are of that unfortunate
class of mortals that are not gifted
with their share of ingenuity. This
is a great mistake. If you will take
the trouble to inquire of them what
they spent their time at when young,
they will tell you farming. Was their
father a farmer? Yes, the best in
the neighborhood, they may say.—
Well what did he employ himself and
boys at rainy days? "0 nothing;
when it rained too hard to work,,we
generally spent our time at the village,
in the stores and tavern, You know
that boys want rest sometimes."—
Very true, but is there no other en
joyment for boys than at the tavern
and stores? Had the father had a
workshop, with a selected lot of tools,
would not those boys have had some
job for a rainy day, such as a little
cart, sleigh, wagon, or boat to make
or repair? There are very few boys
who do not have such things to make.
Thus by having a small workshop,
boys soon acquire a taste to handle
tools, and tinker up many little play ,
things of their own.
When older, the knowledge gained
will be of great service to them in
making and repairing implements on
the farm. But there are habits which
they acquire in spending their leisure
time at the village, which is the ruin
of many a promising boy, for where
we do find a village now, in . which
there is not one or two taverns,where
the temptation appears to be strong,
judging from the numbers we gener
ally find in them getting spirituous
liquors to drink?
When will farmers learn to make
their homes attractive for their boys
and them Selves ? A few good books,
one or more good agricultural papers,
and last, hut not least, a workshop.—
Ohio Farmer.
SUPERIOR EARLY ROSE POTATOES.
—We learn that several parties last
spring sold large quantities of a
variety of potatoe that resembles the
Early Rose, but is a spurious kind.—
That same variety is now being sold
in various parts of the country at a
reduced rates; and it will be well for
our readers to be cautious in making
purchases of irresponsible parties.—
We obtained our supply from the
party who first introduced it to the
public; consequently, we guarantee
that it is genuine.—Rural American.
Tau Commissioners on the cattle
disease appointed in New York, have
ordered that all cars containing cattle
shall be stopped on entering the State,
and if not in good condition the cat
tle are to be disembarked awl the
cars disinfected, after which, if the
cattle are healthy, they can be reship
ped. At othei points, the same pro
cess will be repeated if necessary.— -
Sufficient precaution will be taken in
case actual disease is found.
SORREL, which is a pest to any field,
may be eradicated by the judicious
application of lime or ashes. The
souring principle of sorrel is oxalic ac
id;. if this is removed from the soil,
sorrel cannot grow. Lime or potash
unite with the oxalic acid, forming
oxolate of lime or potash. These
substances are sometimes called sweet
eners of the soil, from their ability to
remove acide from it. Sorrell will
never grow on lime soil.
IT is said that owing to the clrouth
last year, short keeping during the
exposure to heavy rains in spring, the
wool clip in Ohio was much lighter
than usual this year. Some persons
estimate the average yield per head at
15 to 25 per cent. less than last year ;
but the staple is white and clean, and
remarkebly free from oil. The num
ber of sheep in the State is greater
than it was last year.
THE wheat crop of lowa is said to
be immense, the yield averaging 27
bushels to the acre. The yield of corn
is also very large. The cultivation of
corn in lowa is conducted principally
by machinery. It is said that 50,000
acres of new prairie land have been
broken up in Newton county alone
this year.
STEAM plowing in California, prom
ises to be a success. The machine is
their own invention. It cuts a furrow
nine feet wide, and from five to eight
inches deep, pulverizing fine, travels
six miles an hour, and weighs but
seven tons.
THOROUGH. drainage, deep plowing
a liberal use of manure with fertiliz
ers, and good eultivation, cannot fail
to produce remunerative, beautiful
harvests. Let farmers heed these
hints and suggestions.
THE wool crop of New York Sta to
is about 17,000,000 pounds; which is
Principally grown in Washington,
Rensselaer, Gennesee, Livingston, On_
tario and Steuben counties—the first
named leading off with $700,000 lbs.
FLAx seed occasionally given to
horses or cattle, will make them shed
their old hair, and whether young or
old, soon get sleek and fat. It is the
only thing that will fatten some old

She Would'nt Marry A Mechanic.
A young man began visiting a young
woman, and appeared to be well pleas
ed. One evening he called when it
was quite late, which led the young
girl to inquire where he had been.
"I had to work to-night."
" What I do you work for a liv
ing?" she inquired, in astonishment.
" Certainly," replied the young
man. "I am a mechanic."
" I dislike the name of a mechan
ic," and she turned up her pretty
nose.
That was the last time the young
man visited the young woman. He
is now a wealthy man, and has one of
the best women in the country for his
wife.
The lady who disliked the name of
mechanic is now the wife of a miser
able fool, a regular vagrant about
grog-shops, and the soft, verdant and
miserable girl is obliged to take in
washing in order to support herself
and children.
You dislike the name of mechanic,
eh.? You, whose brothers are but
well dressed loafers.
We pity any girl who has so little
brains, who is so verdant, so soft, as
to think less of the young man for be
ing a mechanic—one of God's noble
men—the most dignified and honora
ble personage of Heaven's creatures.
Beware young lady, how you treat
young men who work for a living, for
you may one day be menial to one of
them yourself.
Running Out of Meeting.
Lorenzo DOW is reported to have
stopped persons from leaving his
meeting by requesting '`all who had
holes in the heels of their stockings
to go then or stay through." A simi
lar instance though more truthful,
and in better taste, is given in the
history of Phineas Rice, a Methodist
itinerant.
While he was stationed in one of
the New York churches, he found
that many of the young N people, of
both sexes, were, accustomed to leave
the church before closing the even ,
ing service. It annoyed him, and he
determined to stop it. The next Sab
bath evening before he commenced
his sermon, he said: "Some of my
brethren have been greatly afflicted
that. so many young women leave
church before the service is through.
But I tell them that they ought not
to feel so, for doubtless most of those
that go out are young women who live
at service, and their mistresses re
quire them to be at home at nine o'-
eleck; and the young men have to go
out to wait upon them home; so here
after, when these young women leave
church before the service is over, you
*ill understand - who they are, and
not feel badly about it." The broth
er who gave me this fact, said: "'We
were no more annoyed after this; they
either staid away, or staid till the
meeting was closed."
RESIST TILE BEGINNING. —Toe Arabs
have a fable of a miller, who was one
day startled by a camel's nose thrust
in the window of a room where he
was sleeping. "It is very cold, out
side," said the camel ; " I only want
to get my nose in." The nose was let
in, then the neck, and finally the
whole body. Presently the miller be
gan to be extremely inconvenienced
by the ungainly companion he had
obtained, in a room certainly not large
enough for both. "If you are incon
venienced," said the camel, " you
may leave. As for myself, I . shall
stay where I am."
The moral of the fable concerns all.
When temptation occurs, we must
not yield to it. We must not allow as
much as its "nose" to come in. Eve
rything like sin is to be turned away
from. He who yields even in the
smallest degree, will soon be entirely
overcame; and the last state of this
man is worse - than the first.
A mountain exchange tells of a
band of Indians who made a sudden
attack on a band of soldiers in the
mountains. The soldiers had a moun
tain howitzer mounted on a mule.—
Not having time to get it off and put
it in position, they backed up the
mule and let drive at the Indians.—
The load was so heavy that mule and
and all went tumbling down the hill
toward the savages, who, not under-.
standing that kind of warfare fled like
deer. Afterwards one of them was
captured, and when asked why he
ran so, replied : "Me big injun,.not
afraid of big guns or little guns, but
when white men load up and fire a
whole jackass at injun, me don't know
what to do."
This is the way a French paper
chronicles an accident : "On Satur
day an accident, which might have
been attended with sad results, took
place in this city (Paris.) Abricklay
er, having lost his balance, fell frum
the sixth story of a house to the street.
Fortunately, two women, who were
chatting on the sidewalk, received the
falling man on their heads and broke
his fall. The bricklayer was taken up
safe and sound. The bystanders shud
dered to think that but for a lucky
chance the accident would have cost
him his life. The two women were
instantly killed."
The distinguished English orator,
Robert Lowe, said in a speech made
a few days before the Parliamentary
election : "My wish is to carry on the
progress of the country in the direct
ion which for good or evil it has tak.
en. That is the problem which I invite
you to consider. Perhaps the best
thing is to look at Americ, not as a
warning to deter, but as an example
Lo imitate."
