All such communications should be addressed to Cram!" dreacKraa. Agricultural Editor, Columbia, Lancaster county, Pa. Thin-Skinned Land. What Is the real meaning of this? I am so frequently told, "I have no depth of soil, mine is thin-skinned land," that I naturally ask whether there is hard rock immediately under this thin skin of 5 inches of plowed land, and then I find that there is under it,probably,lso feet deep of good honest land, but that It has only been skinned, the body re maining untouched. Now there is nothing really more easy and simple than deepening this thin stable to any reasonable required extent. Keep the top-soil where it is, but break up the hitherto undisturbed soil, so that air and water can have free access into and through it, and so that the top-soil and manure may rest upon broken ground and gradually mix with it. This has been my practice for the last 21i years, and as a natural consequence I get those large crops which are thesurpriseof many who once knew thepoverty of thesoil. I effect this object by following in the track of the first plow with another plow minus the breast, drawn by four or six horses, the first plow turning the top-soil on to die broken under-soil. The effects are prompt and obvious; rain-water sinks rapidly through the top-soil Tito the broken under-soffand thus facilitates its passage to the drains. The top-soil is thus left to dry, and lit to receive the full benefit of warmth and changes of temperature, the subsoil partaking also in degree of the like advantages. As a rule, the sub-soil having remained un broken for ages, is panned down so tight as fo become almost impervious, and certainly in a great degree debarred from atmospheric influences. All this becomes gradually changed by sub-soil ing or under-plowing, called trench lowing. See what takes place on our heath. The uppersoil has often been tak en away; the exposed sub-soil, for a time remains barren,but after a certain period it becomes improved b . , the action of and water, and is again well coated with vegetation, and is again robbed or strip ped, as I have frequently witnessed dor ing thirty years. Elements of fertility exist in our subsoil abundantly, but are in au unavailable or passive condition. They are raw, and want cooking by at mospheric exposure and influence.— How well the late Rev. Samuel Smith, of Lois Weeden, understood this. He not only exposed the subsoil to atmos pheric action by plowing his top soil together, and leaving the intermediate space of raw subsoil uncovered, but greatly hastened the cooking process by intermixing with the bared subsoil I.le ity of manure, so that it became r ve quickly good feeding ground for i thec oots of plants. The adjoining toot crops (Swedes) soon found this out, and occupied the hitherto barren soil with their fibres. The evidences of the value of deep cultivation are plainly shown wherever it ditch has been filled up, or where the drains have been deeply placed. There the crops show a visible advantage for more than twenty years. Some fancy that it Is because the land is there better drained, but the true reason is the deep loosening anti disturbance of the soil. Deep and good cultivation and manur ing remain visible for nearly a century or more. Walking with a friend on his fields, I asked what was the canoe of one portion of the crop look ing so much bet ter than the rest. "Oh ! ' tie said, "that was once a cottage-gurden (1 long while ago. 1 have known the field fifty years, and It roust have been some time before that." I have a proof of this on my own farm. In Is 11l I exchanged two acres of land with a neighbor. These two acres (in common with the rest of my land i had been drain ed and deeply subsoiled about lout' years previously. Twenty-live years have since elapsed, and during the whole of that period die crops on these two 211 . 1141 have shown a marked superiority over the rest of my neighbor's 11,-Id. As a basis and permanent improvement, I look upon deep cultivation as equal in importuned with manure. The two, combined with drainage, give the key to profit,. It is very much to Mr. Smith's if Woolston ) credit and profit that he concentrates the power of his en gineonasinglesubsoil tine passing deep ly into the furrows between the ridges. The disturbance of the subsoil can never be too deep, provided the surface soil is allowed to remain uppermost, or gradu ally intermixed with the subsoil. Every Impediment to the fibres of plants is a loss to the farmer, causing delay in development ; we all know that the Jaenpression of heavy land by carting or treading renders it comparatively barren—witness a cart-track. The ele ments of fertility are there, but are not available. The roots of plants descend tuany feet in a friable subsoil, naturally or artificially drained, Theoldstory con ' veysasoundagricultural moral. The old Man 1/11:iliti death-hued told his sons that somewhere in the field he had buried some money. The earth was deeply and carefully searched; the money was not found, but a treasure arose from the greatly increased produce, resulting from deep and perfect cultivation. Most of the great old docks, thistles and other weeds, that I see as I pass by rail, standing high above the laid corn crops have a safe and lasting anchorage in ihe undisturbed subsoil. My agricul tural friends, like myself, are, I know fond of profit.. Let rue assure them that one of the most ready ways to get it is by deeper cultivation. Every farmer covets deep, triable toll—as it is so scarce, let us make some—we van do so profitably if we choose to use the means. - ('or. Country Gentleman. From Grass to Ilay There is no part of the year, or portion of the life of horses, cattle and sheep, especially store stock, in which they so often suffer for luck of care, food and shelter, as during the season from the lallure of grass to the time when they aro regularly enstalled in Winter quar ters, and are receiving their Winter daily rations. The bleak winds, chill ing storms, long nights, cold ground and • frost-bitten grass of November have a very different effect upon all farm stock, from the warm stables, soft bedding, early cut hay, appetizing Sweeties and daily nursing of January and Feto nary. Of the many excuses offered by farm ers for neglecting their stock at this sea son, scarcely one of them Is worth the hearing; but still they are made under standingly if nut orally, and have the effect to stultify and quiet the conscience of the herdsman, to the great detriment, of his stock. f every stock raiser would receive as truth, embrace it us such, fully compre hend its importance and various bear ings, that any and every th Lng that much or little interferes with the comfort of animals, lessens their thrift and Costs him dollars and cents, there would be much less loss in the weeks intervening Summer and Winter quarters. There is such a reluctance to COMMellee feed ng out the grain, hay, coarse feed In the barn, and roots in the cellar, that the stock is often left to browse and grub on the hills, among the bushes, on the meadows or in the woods, as long and lute iu the Autumn as they continue to /1// themselves tolerably lull, with the mistaken idea that until they begin to look la i plt and sharky, they are " get ting along," and the Winter feed in the barn is saved. But stock may look full without bait ger being satisfied ; yes, they may be full constantly, and all the time grow ing poor, as it matters little whether full of bleached stubbles, grass, leaves, or wind. And if they have no place to feed day times away from the bleak and chilling Autumn winds, or to lie nights except on the cold and wet earth, and unpro tected from wind and storm, they will be uncomfortable, and necessarily de teriorate in consequence. A fat animal keeps warm easier, and of course requires less food for fuel, than a lean one; and it is far better thatstock should come to Winter quarters extra hit than otherwise. The Winter ,1 unrters should be so coil structed as to exclude frost at "pinch of Winter" and all other times, and yet so as to have good air—especially for mileh cows—which may be done anti allow rive times the cubic space of the cubic size of !each animal, for each to occupy. —the. Western Rural. Saving Seed Each farmer is to have seed to sow and plant. This he usually retains from his crops. Sometimes he is care ful to select, sometimes not. Now, each farmer can be an improver of his seed, his crops, as is done by those who make it a business to im prove. It is done by selection—select ing every time such quality or qualities as he wants. Selecting every time the largest, earliest and best esti - , there will be a dhow of larger, earlier and vette' corn. So with potatoes. Secure always the larger and coarser, and there will ue large and coarse, illage the same. This will do for feeding. But a smaller potato is wanted for the table, a liner grained, better form; approaching the flat and smooth, so that the cookingja expedited. There Is also more sweet ness and better quality generally in medium-sized tubers. These, and only these, should be selected yearly. Squashes and pumpkins may be im- proved in the same way. Select such as you want every time, and of the same quality. Thus tomatoes improve or di.- terlorate according as we select them. Poor, dirty wheat (or any grain) will give poor, dirty wheat; that is the ten dency. If the season is very favorable, this will be less seen ; but the tendency is nevertheless there, and a good selec tion of seed would have made a better crop. Each farmer may thus be his own improver of what he raises.—Cor. Coun try Gentleman. Charcoal a Good Farm Medicine. Nearly all sick horses and cows are made so in the first place by eating proper food, or too much of it. As soon as the owner finds any of his animals sick, it is the common custom to begin dosing with medicine. "We mustn't leave the :animal to die—we must do something!"—and so all manner of hurtful drugs and poisons are thrust down its throat—saltpetre,copperas,tur pentine, &c.—quite sufficient to make any well animal sick, or to kill a sick one. " You didn't give the poor thing enough—you should have given it often er—you can't expect your beast to get well if you don't/do more for it !" Our rule has always been to give nothing, unless we know exactly what to do ; and in the meantime attend to every exterior comfort practicable. If the weather is cold, place it in warm quarters, avoid all exposure, and attend to pure air and strict cleanliness. But there is one medicine that can never do harm, and is commonly beneficial. This is pulverized charcoal. As we have just remarked, nearly all sick animals be come so from Improper eating, in the first place. Nine cases out of ten, the digestion Is wrong. Charcoal is the most efficient and rapid corrective. It will cure ill a majority of cases, if promptly administered. An exam pie of its use—the hired man came im with the intelligence that iine of the finest cows was very sick, and a kind neighbor proposed the usual drugs and poisons. The owner being ill, and unable to examine the cow, concluded that the i trouble came from collie over-eating,and ordered a tea-cup of pulverized charcoal given in water. It was mixed, placed in a junk bottle, the heed held upwards, and the water with Its charcoal poured downwards. In five minutes an im provement was visible, and in a few hours the animal was in the pasture quietly eating grass. Another instance of equal success occurred with a young heifer which became badly bloated by eating green fipples after a hard wind. The bloat was so severe that the sides were almost as hard as a barrel. The old remedy, saleratus, was tried for the purpose of correcting the acidity. But the attempt to put it down always coughing, and it did little good. Half a tea-etipffil of fresh:powdered char coal was next given. In six hours all appearance of bloat had gone, and the heifer was well. Vie disapprove of quackery—Where without a precise knowledge of the dis ease, powerful remedies are given at random, and indiscriminately. We call only compare such practice to that of the teamster, who as soon as he finds that his wagon is In Liken, iiumediately pro cures a quantity of nails, spikes, screws, &e., and immediately begins to drive I 11(.111 into all parts of the vehicle at ran dom, in the hope of hitting the right place. The scientific practitioner first ascertains what the trouble is, and then goes at once to apply the rem edy to that particular point. The ob jection of ,mackery cannot extend to the use of charcoal, for it can do no harm, never makes u well animal sick, nor kills a sick one, and goes directly to the seat of the trouble ill most sick animals, and if timely applied etlecte a cure. What are commonly termed " colds" in domestic animals, nearly always origi nate in the first place flout derang ed digestion, and ill connection with cleanliness, pure air and warm quar ters, charcoal will accomplish what is desired if used in lino.. It may be pre pared 4,11 the spot liy pounding up fresh burning embers from a wood-fire ill au iron kettle; this will make a bet ter and fresher article than old char coal. -f ioodry fiend( mon. Staggers In l'lgs A correspondent asks information IV grinding the cause and management of pigs suffering from what appear try he Muggers. The symptoms are as follows: The nig stands and works his mouth, and froths at the mouth, then staggers and falls as if in a lit. After remaining in that state for a time it recovers, hut at last the symptoms prove fatal. ;-ionie pigs force their noses against tire wall, or into a corner, but the symptoms are always nearly the same. The dis ease which is popularly termed staggers in medical parlance is vaned epilepsy. It depends usually upon imperfect nu trition of the brain and nervous system. In pigs, as well as in other animals, epilepsy is often hereditary. Frequently it is developed by breeding imand-in Continued feeding on poor, innutritive fare, such as brewers' wash or Indian ecru, or even on such unduly stimulat ing food as beans or peas will favor the production of epileptic fits. Wet, foil uncomfortable beds also lead to epilepsy among young and delicate pigs. In preventing further losses we would advise the attending carefullS'to cleanli ness, comfort and liberal feeding; sup ply the small pigs with some good milk and a daily mess of boiled linseed,which is particularly good, as containing u large proportion of oleaginous matters. A few cabbages, grass, dry peas and bar ley flour will help to vary the dietary. If the pigs are weakly, ten or twelve drops of tincture of the chloride of iron may be given twice daily In beer, water gruel, or mash. For the next litter se cure a strong, sound, vigorous sire of a strain of blood entirely different from that which has been hitherto used.— t. Ed. ...Yurth British Agriculturist.
