TO IMPROVE SANDY SOILS.
Mr. Editor: —There is a very erroneous but
strong impression on some minds, that light,
loose sands are valueless for purposes of cul
tivation. In ibeir natural state, it is true,
tbey are not very productive; a few crops of j
rye or buckwheat reduces their fertility) and
so much manure is thenceforth requisite to
reinvignrate and keep them in heart that they
are either turned out to pasture, or abandon
ed in despair. I have bad some experience
in the cultivation of this species of soil, and
ray success has induced me to attach to them
a much higher degree of importance than is
usually accorded. And lam fully persuaded
that even the lightest and most sterile sands
may, by proper management, and without
any ruinous outlay ot expense, either in time
or capital, be made highly and permanently
productive ; in short, that our poorest plains
land can be redeemed from this unjust impu
tat ion of utter worthlesness, and made to
yield not only remunerating crops, but crops
equaling in abundance and richness those af
forded by the most affluent soils upon which
labor has ever yet been bestowed.
In the first place, in order to successful
amelioration of sandy soils, it a ill be necessa
ry completely and thoroughly to cleansethem
from stumps. After this is affected, let them
be plowed dfeply, with a strong team, in the
lust of *um.nu., turning in all the wild growth
upon them to the depth of at least one foot;
then harrow thoroughly and roil with as heavy
a roller as you can procure. The next thing
is to give the surface a good dressing of clay.
This earth will generally be found in lire near
vicinity of the field to be clayed, either in
some neighboring run or water course, or be
neath the sand, lor sand and clay are never
far apart. The finer it is, and the more
great), the better and more durable will be
its action ; and the more liberally it is ap
plied. the more thorough will be the iraprov
rneut consequent upon its application. Ihe
best time for applying it is immediately after
plowing, and to secure its being refined and
broken up, it should be deposited in heaps
and Spread evenly over the surface, to re
main exposed during the winter to the action
of the frost. In the spring plow again not so
deeply as before, in order not to disturb the
sward, harrow, and again roll. Vou can now
sow on rye, or plant, and the crop will come
off in season to allow yon an opportunity to
give another dressing ol clay, which in quan
tity should be equal to the first—sny forty
cords to the acre —and spread as before.
This will entirely change the texture ol the
soil, and you will no longer have the barren
ness ot sand to contend with, but a soil en
dued with all the essential requisites of per
manent and vigorous fertility, and on which
manure will act with as much celerity and en
ergv as upon the richest loarns. It may be
thought that the quantity of clay recommend
ed —eighty cord 9to the acre—is large, but
when we reflect that some cultivators bestow
this amount of stable manure, and bear in
wind the very important fact that while ma
nure is an article for which money has to be
paid, the whole cost of clay is embraced in
the carting, tbe objection arising from tbe
quantity requisite to insure a complete and
thorough improvement being large will at
once cease to retain its force. If tbe farmer
cannot afford this, he can apply a less quan
tity at first, and add to it year by year; but in
this case be must be contented with a much
less lucrative return for his annual labors, as
a verv large percentage of clay is called for,
in order thoroughly to improve the soil, and
overcome the many and serious imperfections
of sand as it naturally exists. Therefore it is
much better and more in accordance with the
policy of enlightened economy, to give enough
at first to effect the object desired, and enter
at once into the profits of tbe business, than
to occupy years with only a limited annual
return.
One great reason—and indeed I regard it
as the principal one—why manure never acta
vigorously on light sands is, that the extreme
pero>ity which charauteriz- s it, causes the
durig to keep dry, and consequently to remain
inert. A lump of dry manure is no better in
the soil than a chip or a stone, and will pro
duce just the same eiFects upon the crop.
The clay gives Cohesivene.s to the particles,
unites thein by a sort of glutinous attachment
and consolidation, and while it favors the ab
sorption and retention of moisture, ensures
the fermentation sui ultimate decomposition
of the dung. It: a few years the soil will as
some a fine dark appearance, resembling
garden mould, and the various grasses will
find in it a bed capable of affording expansion
to their roots, and supply a moisture and so
luble food commensurable with iheir wants.
To every pers n. therefore, who is the pos
terser of sandy soil, I would say. clay it at
once! No soil is so easily worked, and from
no soil, when managed in this way. will ta
bor secure to itself a more certain and rich
reward.

RECREATION FOR FARMERS.
'•Humph !" I hear some farmer say, "what
does he mean by recreation for farmers?" I
will try to tell you what I mean. At the
present day it is found that all classes and
conditions of men are greatly advantaged by
an occasional relaxation from their daily
round of duty, whatever its name or nature.
None seem to be exempt from this law of
our being. None can ignore it without se
rious lo>s to person and purse.
The loss to a person grows out of the fact
that we cannot continue one set of muscles
in work, to the neglect of others, without
sooner or later overworking the one and im
pairing or enervating the other. Persisting
in this course tends to deteriorate the whole
system. This is in all probability less true
of farmers than of people itl most other oc
cupations. Tbeir necessary labor brings
about all their muscular system into use.
Ihe extent of the use in their case is just
where the evil comes in. Unceasing toil tells
upon them to such an extent as to bring on
premature old age. We see them bowed
over in what should be tbe prime of life.
They lose the buoyancy and elasticity of
mind; they become taciturn in their homes.
A sombre sadness seems to pervade all
around.
The wife is too often overworked and pai*
lakes of the same spirit. The children grow
ing up in such at atmosphere lose interest
in home—it tbey ever bad any interest in it
and look forward with longing eyes to the
time when tbey can escape to the city, the
IV est, or the sea.
I "O much of the emigration from our New
England farms has its cause just here. I
knuw of individual cases iu which this is true.
Tne homes are not pleasant to them by reas
on of unceasing work and the want of cheer
fulness in the family.
The remedy, I think, in a measure U to be
found in farmers finding out that tbey can ac
complish more, year by year, if they devote
a portion of their time to recuperate their
powers by relaxation. After a season of re
laxation we bring new energy into all w e have
to do. Work is done with a will. More of
cheerfulness accompanies it. Disappoint
menu fail to dep,e*s as formerly. Old things
have passed away. The future wears a new
aspect. "V\ o have renewed our youth as the
eagle."
1 am aware thai most farmers will say,
'This is all very well; hut we cannot possibly,
bring it round." Just here is where the trou
ble lies, lam ready to admit. At tbe same
time I would urge yoa to seek for gome way
to accomplish it. Take your wife into your
counsel, and also the children. You will
find that they will enter into a solution of the
difficulties with a will. Your combined wis
dom wi'l be sure to triamph tn the end, be
cause your interest is involved iu it.
When once the matter has been put to the
test, no lear of it ever being dropped. Much
of seeming discontent and hardship will dis
appear. Try it.— Sew England Farmer.

A sprightly little girl being asked, "What

A SENSIBLE contemporary says: "The

go for that too."
"IMAGIXASUUN, tew mutch indulged in,"

A MAN who had been artested as a vagrant

"Well, what is the animal?" "Mv grand

Two friends, taking a walk on a turnpike
