Amur's Bcpnttmcut. About Deep and Shallow Plowiug. "EDS. RURAL R — I'm in trouble—in f..ct nl most driven to tk-spnir. Only tl.ink of it ;hi re I have been the last ten years—}<-, for inj v. hole life time, in fact, under the iinpreseion that deep plowing: was one of tho essential re quisites of pood farmiup. A tinp upon th s impression I have been for the last ten year gradually deepening my soil, by plowing a I t tie deeper each time, till I have got ilow n nine, ten and oven twelve inches deep, otiil stiil goinjr down. 1 have pot this impression by reading such agricultural papers and books as I could get hold of—by listening to the teachings of our best farmers, and I often think of the say ing of " Poor Richard " to " Plow deep while sluggards sleep. And you'll have e irn to sell and keep."' I commenced on a piece of land that had been farmed on the skinning system, by plow ing four or Sve inches deep, and, as I said he fore, I have been plowing deeper and deeper, and as my crops hare been gradually improv ing from year to year, I fancied it was owing, in a measure, at least, to deeper plowing.— Judge of nty surprise then, Mr. Editor, on reading the following in your issue for March 26th from " * " of Tnimansbnrg, N. V.:—"On a large proportion of land in our State, deep plowing for corn is not advantageous. Experi ence, and the well known fact that the roots of corn are always foutid near the surface, de monstrate it." You may believe those two little sentences set me to thinking—this is, after I got a little over my amazement,so I could think. I thought if those sentences were true, that after all the labor bestowed, the horse flesh wasted in pi <w ing deep, that like enough I had been injuring my land instead of benefiting if. I began to think whether it was a " fact that the roots of corn are always found near the surface.'' I thought of plowing up corn stubble the other day for oats, and while so doing I stopped rnv team to rest, and sat down on the plow beam to rest myself. While seated there I amused myself by pulling np corn stubbles and exam ining the roots, noticing how very numerous and long they were and how they spread out in every direction, and they descended down even to the bottom of the furrow. That was before I had read the article referred to, and my conclusion then was, that there was evidence in favor of deep plowing for those roots ran down at least ten inches. Was my conclusion wrong ? That is the question that puzzles me. I looked anxionsly for the next RURAL, hop ing to find something in it to help me out of my great qnandarv. But, alas ! in the next RURAL I find the following, which, instead of helping me out of tny difficulty, serves to cast still greater gloom over the " spirit of my dreams." "W.J. F.," in speaking on this subject, says : "In practice, we often see the farmer, who inverts only the small portion of his farm which lies near the surface, reaping larger crops and with more profit than his neighbor who in verts his farm a good way down towards the center. The hard subsoil, miring in winterand and baking in summer, is not, after all, just the right food for plants. He finds, too late, that he has turned his farm upside-down, and luck) is he who docs not find himself turned oft be fore he can get it " right side up " once more." Now, Mr. Editor, is there any hope for me? Can you say anything to give me the lea-t en couragement ? Is there any soil that will hear deep plowing ? and if so, what kind of soil is it ? I hardly dare plow any more till I hear from yn. Do write "* " and have him tell us what soil, if any, to plow deep. I shall be in a perfect acrony of suspense till I know. And, by the way, I wish while you are about it.you would urge upon your correspondents general ly, the necessity, in relating their " experience'" and experiments, of giving as precisely as pos sible. the nature and characteristics of the soil operated upon and written about. By so do ing readers would be much betterable to judge whether encli treatment would answer their own case. To net on this hint, I will begin by saying that I am working fine plain land : soil a sandy gravglly loain ; what few stones there are, are mostly " odbble stones." The subsoil is pretty much the same as the surface soil, except the vegetable matter. This question of deep or shallow plowing, is one of vast importance to every farmer, for no man will be fool enough to plow twilve or sixteen inches deep, after he finds it is ju.-t as well or better to plow only four. It seems to me that the question might be solved to a de monstration on particular soils. I have no idea from what little I know of " hard pan subsoil, that crops would he particularly bene fited by bringing any quanti'y into immediate contact with them. Nor would I recommend bringing much of any kind of subsoil np at a time. " Little by little" him been my motto and practice. JOHN F. OvEXsmnr. Athena. Bradford Co., Pa., 1853. CI.KAN MILKING. —Tt is sometimes forgotten that the last gill of milk drawn from the cow's under is the best part of every milking.— Careful experiments made in England show, (according to a report lately published) that " the quantity of cream obtained from the last drawn cup from most cows, exceeds that of the first in the proportion of twelve to one." The difference in tlie quality also is considerable. Hence, a person who carelessly leaves but half a pint of milk undrawn, loses in reality about as much cream as would be afforded by six or eight pints at the beginning ; and loses, too, that part of the cream which gives the rich ness and high flavor to his butter. A Goon OUT-DOOR WHITEWASH —Take un slaked lime and put it into a bucket with about as much water as will be required in use. Then throw in about half a pound of tallow for a peck offline. As the lime slakes, the heat will melt the tallow, when it is to be thoroughly stirred in—the stirring to be re peated frequently during use it any grease rises to the surface. No definite experiments have been made to determine the exact weight of tallow for a given weight of lime Impure or rancid lard, oil, or other grease, may be used instead of tallow. The philosophy of the process is, that the oily material incorporated into the whitewash will prevent - its being dis solved by rains. Any further definite informa tion respecting this or other preparations, which the readers of the American Agriculturist can present, will gladly received. OSSIFICATION AND PETRlFACTlON—Figurative ly speaking, when a man's heart ossifies, that is turns to lone, he dies at once ; but if it p>{rifi't, that it, turns to stuiu, he invariably j ves too long for any useful purpose.

Leavitt, an American gentleman, now resident in Sydney, New South Wales, dated January 12, 1858 ; " I had a tent made in Melbourne, in 1853, in which there were over three thousand yards of sewing done with one of Grover St Baker's Machines, and a single seam of that has outstood all the double seams sewed by sailors with a needle and twine." " If Homer could be called up from his murky hades,lie would sing the advent of Grover St Baker as a more be nignant miracle of art than was ever Vulcan's smithy. He would denounce midnight shirt-making as "the dire ful spriug of woes unnumbered."— Prof. North.
