WHAT '1 KNOW • OF FARMING.

STONE ON A FARM
This earth, geologists say, was once
an immense expanse of heated vapor,
which gradually cooling at its surface,
as it whirled and sped through space,
contracted and formed a cruet, which
we know as Rock or Stone. This crust
has since been broken through and
tilted up into ranges of mountains and
hills, by the action of internal fires, by
the trans-mutation of solid bodies into
more expansive gases; and the frag
ments: torn away from the sharper
edges of the upheaved masses of gran
ite, quartz, or sandstone, having been
frozen into icebergs floating, or soon
to be so, have been carried all over
the 'surface of our planet, and dropped
upon the greater part, as those ice
bergs were ultimately resolved, by a
milder temperature,into flowing wa
ter. When the : seas were afterward
reduced nearly or quite to the present
limits, and the icebergs restricted to
the frigid zones and their vicinity,
streams had to make their way' down
the sides of the mountains and hills to
the subjacent valleys and plains,sweop,
•ing along.not merely sand And gravel
but bowlders also, of every size and
form,. and } sometimes great rocks, as
well, by the force of their currents.--
And as a very large, if not the larger,
pOrtion of our earth's surface bears
testimony tcithe existence and power
ful action through ages, of larger and
smaller water-courses, a wide and.gen
cral diffusion of stones, not in places,
hut more or less triturated, smoothed
and rounded, by the action of water,
was among the inevitable results.
These are sometimes a facility, but
oftener an impediment, to efficiency
in agriculture. When heated by fer
vid sunshine throUghout the day, they
retain a portion of that heat through
a part of the succeeding night, there

erally'broken so finely so to offer no
impedimentici they not
merely absorb heat by day, to be giv
enoff-by,night, but, by rendering the
soil open and porous, secure a much
more extennive difftision of air,tbrough

. 'The great Prairies of the West, with

beneath them, until the soil has been
'traversed, and the vicinity of the un
derlying;rooli in place fairly attained.
To farinerti inured' "to the perpetual
stone-picking of• Now England, and
other hilly regions, this is a most wel
cdme•change; but when the pioneer
comes to look about him for stone to

like now to cull some of them back
again. - , •
Yet, the Eastern farmer of to-day
has feweruses for stone than his
grandfatherlad. He does not want
his farm cutup into two or three acre
patches, by broad hased, unsightly
walls, which frost is apt to heave year
into greater deformity and less effi
ciency ; nor does he care longer to use
them in draining, since ho must exca
vate and replace thrice as much earth
in making a stone as in making a tile
drain ; while the former affords shel
ter and impunity to rats, mice, and
other mischievous, predatory animals,
whose burrowing therein tends con
stan4 to :stinaulate its 'natural
ten
dency to become choked with sand
earth,

Still, my confidence that nothing

by the prevalence.

and have 'Uses for them which we

tbo Eastern or Middle States, may be
made to pay a good interest on from
sso:up -to 8100, provided there be soil
enough above its rocks to afford a de

wiN answer this purpose none can im
agine'Who have not seen tho experi
ment , tried. Sow thickly that you
may begin to cut out poletisix to ton
feet long within three or four years,
and keep cutting out (but never cut-
ting off) thenceforward, until time
shall be no more, and your rocky
crests, steep hillsides and ravines, will
take rank with the most productive
portions of your farm.
In the edges of these woods, you
may deposit the surplus stones of the
adjacent cultivated fields, in full as
surance that moth and rust will not
corrupt nor thieves break through and
steal, but that you and your sons and
grandsons will find them there when
ever they shall bo needed, as well as
those you found there when you
came into possission of the farm.
I am faither confident that we shall'
build more and more with rough un
shapen stone, as we grow older and
wiser. In our harsn, capricious cli
mate, walls of stone-concrete afford
the cheapest and best protection alike
against heat and frost, for our ani
mals certainly, and, I think, also for
ourselves. Let the farmer begin his
barn by making of stone, laid in thin
mortar, a substantial basement story,
let into a hillside, for his manure and
his root cellar; let him build upon this
a second story 'of like materials for
the stalls of his cattle; and now he
may add a third story and roof of
wood for his bay and grain, if ho sees
fit. His son or grandson will proba
bly, take this off, and replace it with
concrete walls and a slate roof; or this
may be postponed till the original
wooden structure has rotted off; but I
feel sure that, ultimately, the dwell
ings as well as the barns of thrifty, far
mers, in stony districts will,mainly be
built of rough stones, .thrown into a
box and firmly cemented by a thin
mortar composed cf much sand and
little lime, and that thus:nt least ten
thousand tuns of stone to each farm
will be disposed of. It may be some
what later, still before our barnyards,
fowl iuclosures, gardens, pig-pens, &c.
will ho shut in by cemented walls; but
the other sort affords such ample and
perpetual lurking places for rats,
minks, weasels, and all manner of de
structive vermin, that they are cer
tain to go out of fashion before the
close of the next century.
-. As to blasting out stone, too large
or too firmly fixed to be otherwise
hauled, I would solve the problem by
asking, "Do you mean to keep this
lot in cultivation ? If you do, clear it
of atone from the surface upward, and
for at least two feet downward, though
they may be as large as haycocks, and
as fixed as the everlasting hills. Clear
your field of every stone bigger than a
goose-egg, that the plow or mower
may strike in doing its work, or give
it to timber, plant it thoroughly and
leave its stones unmolested .until your
descendants shall have a paying use
for them.
A friend deeply engaged in lum
bering gives me a hint which I think
some owners of stony farms will useful.
lle is obliged to run his logs down shal
low, stony creeks, from the bottom of
which large rocks often protrude, ar
resting the downward progress of his
lumber• When the bedsofthesecreeks
are nearly dry in Summer, he goes in,
with two or three stout, strong assist
ants, armed with crowbars and levers,
and rolls the stones to this side and
that, so as to leave a clear passage for
his logs. Occasionally he is confron
ted by a fellow, which defies his ut
most force; when, instead of drilling
.and blasting, he gathers dead tree
tops, and other dry wood of no value,
from the banks, and builds a hot fire
on the top of each giant bowlder.—
When the fire has burned out, and the
rock has cooled, he finds it softened,
and, as it were rotten, on the top, of
ten split, and every way so demorali
zed that he can deal with it as though
it were chalk or cheese. lie estimates
his saving by this process, as compar
ed with drilling and blasting, as much
more than fifty per cent. I trust fur
, mers with whom wood is abundant,
and big stones super-abundant, will
give this simple experiment a trial.
