Exhausting the Soil.
\\ u hear ami read uuieh concerning exhaust
ed soils. " Worn-out lands " would seem to ho
the patrimony of many femurs in the middle,
eastern and .southern State-. The " great j
gun," if we may so speak, of the western a;-]
rieultural ]>r.ss, is tho rich, he, so l of the
jirairie and bottoms—in many instances this
heiug from twelve to fifteen and even twenty
feet in depth. There is doubtless in the "hand
to month " proceedings of many of the tillers
of the soil much cause for deterioration of
land, subjected, as it is, to the skinning and
bleeding processes practised bv thetn. That
this, however, is the general tendencies or una
voidable results of American farming we beg
leave to deny, and the experience of everyday
life, both at home and abroad, will, we think,
fully sustain our position.
That land from which crerylhing is tikev
urn/ no teturns motif will in the course of time
fail t<< produce its average of crops is palpa
ble--but under a system of judicious cultiva
tion. where that which is grown upon a field
i returned to it either in the shape of manures,
refuse matter or the plowing under of green
crops—where the farmer will carefully hus
band the various elements of fertility and give
them to the soil, land instead of deteriorating
will improve. Vegetation, while in process of
growth, draws no inconsiderable portion of its
vitality from the atmosphere in the form of
carbon, and where this is given to the soil and
incorporated with it, it inevitably tends to
augment its fertility. Animals, in the masti
cation and digestion of their food, partake of
this component to supply the demands of the
system, yet much of it is retained in their ex
crements, and, should the soil, from which
their provender is removed, receive the total of
the droppings a higher standard of fertility
would result.
An Ohio gentleman, Clias. Roemclin, at pre
sent in Europe, writes to the Ohio Farmer on
this subject, as follows :
"We read in America much of the ' ex
hausted soil of Kurope.' I have seen none of
it. So far from being exhausted, I think the
soil of Kurope is now better than ever, and
that it is made to yield larger crops than ever.
I low can soil he exhausted which has for cen
turies received plentifully of manures, and ma
nures made upon the best possible system ? I
think a little reflection, coupled with the pro
per observance of European agriculture, must
lead to the conviction that the soil of Kurope
is constantly receiving more hack in manure,
Ac., than is taken away in products. Of all
farin products, the atmosphere and rains fur
nish the larger quantity of its component
parts, and whenever a proper system of ma
nuring exists, the ground must become con
stantly enriched. In Kurope manure is the
ever-present idea of the fanner, and by gath
ering all offals, and making manure in every
conceivable way, he does not only bj green
manuring, such as plowing clover under, hut i
by stable, factory, street and dwelling nianure, j
take good care to return to mother earth the '
rental she requires,and do it without grudging, 1
and with compound interest. Soil is only
there exhausted where crops are raised which
are entirely removed, and of which nothing is
returned to the soil—for instance, tobacco.—
This is very little the case in Eurojie. The
tine wheat crops which smile upon the traveler
as he is rushed past them by railroad speed, '
would be an impossibility if the idea of cx- i
haustion were true. The meadows, too, which
are mown thrice every year, and each time give
a good crop, and have been so mown forages,
contradict this exhaustion theory. No! the
European farmer and his land are always on
good terms with each other. The man gives
good husbandry and the laud yields good
crops."
The various modes by which soil that has
lost its fertility can be restored, and which are
most extensively adopted, may l>e called me
chanical and chemical. The first of these will
more particularly claim our attention at pre
sent, as every cultivator possesses the means
to bring it into use. The most important of
the operations in this department is deep and
thorough tillage. The soil, as a general rule,
is not plowed to exceed three or four inches in
depth. The manures applied are carried by
moisture below to to the subsoil, and remain
there until brought to the surface by the sub
soil plow. Thousands of acres in Virginia
that have been subjected to this slovenly kind
of treatment, and have been sold for a mere
nothing, now rank among the best, producing
lands in the country, and the change has been
wrought in a very short period of time by the
simple agency of deep culture. Fertilizing
properties that have lain hidden for years are
turned np, and the new comer is put in pos
session <f a soil equal to any its powers of pro
duction—rich in all the elements of fertility
—and waving grain fields and luxuriant growth
usurp the place of barrenness and sterility.—
The under, or subsoil, having received more
less of the rich deposits upon the surface, and
an accumulation been going forward for years,
in many places it equals the earth above in its
producing capabilities, and the farmer who, by
constant cropping, has impoverished or worn
out his land, cannot restore it to its original
richness and fertility in anyway so readily and
with so little expense as by the free use of a
subsoil plow.
Impoverished soil can be restored either by
a frequent rotation of grass, clover, or other
forage crop fed off upon the soil and receiving
the droppings of animals ; by green crops, such
as clover, plowed under, or the application of
barnyard or mineral manures. In many res
pects there is a similarity between the soil and
the h unit nit tf that stands upon it. The body
often fails from exhaustion and overwork.—-
Want of rest, paucity of food, constant ex
citement and slovenliness, are no more detri
mental to the physical well-being of every in
dividual, than the same principles and action
carried into agricultural economy arc to the
successful operations of the farm. A sound
mind in a sound body is the acme of maids
perfection—right principles and well directed
labor are the basis and summit of progressive
agriculture.—if ural New- Yorker.
ADVICE TO Yocxtt FAKMERS. —AIIow mc to
say, to young farmers especially, let us be stu
dious and inquisitive, as well as laborious ; let
us be simple and frugal in our habits ; avoid
useless expenditures ; leave fine dress, and fast
horses, and showy dwellings to those who real
ly need such things to recommend t hem. Let
us ever remember that for health and substan
tial wealth, for rare opportunities, for self-im
provement, for long life and real independence,
farming is the best business in the world.
bif Ve should transmit to posterity our
abhorrence of Slavery.— Patrirk Henry.

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
DIRECT 8t TO &. FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
JAMES HARRIS. ELECTRICIAN - , of Towanda, re-pert
fully Informs tlie public that lie lias lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chcmien! Bath,
which lias proven to lie one of tlie most Important and
wonderful discoveries of tlie age, from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the body,
by galvanism : more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
his art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected, with like results. His success exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, but cured many diseases, some of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of this liath to draw from tin- system all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. A'ery often persons are afflicted by diseases
which are beyond tlie comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which arc tlie effect of poisonous mine
ral's accumulating in the system tor years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the diseases cured by these
baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, painter's i'holic,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer,
Neuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also S.T*. Smith'snewlv invented DIRECT AND
TO-AND FRO ELECTROMAGNETIC MACHINE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic nun bines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is very
great, in introducing medicines into the system through
the pores of the skill—applying it directly to the parts af
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local diseases.
I am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough
of Towanda, or I will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford count v. for the above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
