"she Advantage derived from Shading
the Soil with Green Crops,
"Wf. hare frequently contended—and the
additional experience which every year briugs
with it odds further confirmation to the fact
—that the rapid exhaustion of even our best
soils is not due so roucu to coustaut cropping
us to the hoed crops which play so promiuent
it part in our system of ugricnlture. It is
true that corn nut! tobacco draw largely upon
our soils, and especially upon the phosphates
and the po'rsb which they contain. It is
true, also, " lout shallow and careless cultiva
tion has done much to assist rn exhausting
lands which were regarded at one time as of
almost inexhaustible fertility," and statistics
likewise show that whilst the area of cultiva
tion has bten extended year after year, the
average product per acre has diminished.
One of the primary reasons why these crops
have proved so deleterious to the soil, is the
fact that the system of cultivation required to
bring them to perfection keeps the intervals
between the growing plants utterly bare dur
ing the hottest months of the year. The ac
tion of the sun upoa surfaces,
together with the constant stirring of the soil
tor the purpose oi keeping it loose and light
and friable, whilst it promotes the solubility
of iu plant food, yet at the same time exposes
the osgunic and inorganic substances which
constitute in their several proportions the cle
moats of fertility to great loss, both by evapo
ration and by washing rains. As an illustra
tion of this process oi exhaustion by the sim
ple eqposure of bare soil to the action of the
son c.ii t!;<* raio in summer time, we may cite
the following facts :
A piece of laud kept constantly plowed,
Without any crop whatever beiug grown upon
ii, if not iUuWea to grow up in weeds, will
gradually laps from a state of fertility iuto
:JC of comparative barrenness it bus been
loosing year after year, by evaporation and by
lraching rains,the greater portion of its plant
food, its vegitable and mineral wealth, if we
may be } ram ted to so term it. As a signal
proof 01 this we have in our mum's eye a peach
orchard which twenty years ago was planted
upon as line a of soil as is to be found
uywhere within ten miles oi Baltimore. 11 was
h light, loose chocolate soil, and the quality
v i .the orchard v.yas originally planted, was
that of the best tobacco laud. That orchard
was plowed regularly every reason to promote
tlie growth of the peach trees and to facilitate
tii" ripening of the fruit It is the usual cus
tom with the best pc&ch.growera. In twelve
years, or by the 1., .e tire peach trees begun to
thaw signs of decay, those fifty acres bore evi
dent e of a foil that had been utterly exhaust
-d. Y< t with the exception of the peach tree
themselves, not a single crop of any k;uii had
been taken from the land. Mow, this rapid
exhaustion couid not bo cliaigcd to the de
irm-.cis uv.de upon the soil by the peach trees
alone, but to the fact that the so l was kept
perfectly bare throughou the summer.
Again—take tiieeonverse of the proposition.
Bo long as Lads are kept shaded they continue
to iueicuse in tertility. ldoes any one doabt
this 1 I. t him turn out an old held, and af
ter a while a new growth of wood and brush
will spring up, except v.heu the land is worn
i to goiiits, and wii.ii the growth of this wood
the to opphig-* of the leaves and the shade of
the foliage, a portion of the lost foiliiity of
the- land wii! bo restored Yet the trees have
been drav. .ug nutriment from the soil all
through these years, 'lake another instance
—leave a bed of eornstaiks, or a pile of brush
upon a tielu that the previous season had
been planted to corn, and is consequently bate
of herbage or weeds ; or, build a iodder stack
i i the lield axu ft nee it off from the cattle. —
\Vh u the land comes into crop again the next
K'c-Mi, the p'uee from which that pile of
Kiuiks, or brush, or loader stack, will show a
ranker growth than any other part of the field.

Valv2 OF COAL ASHES. — A correspondent
of the Dairy Farmer says :
" The only object which I had in view at
first iu using this article, was that of absorb
ing the liquid portions of manure about the
stable?, which was done by scattering them
upon the lowest part* of the floor every morn
ing after cleaning out the stables, at which
arrangement the fowls- cf the barn seemed
perfectly delighted, as they immediately com
meuced devouring certain portions of the ash
es as eagerly as though it was corn ; the re
sult of which has been, that we have been
supplied with an unusual quantity of eirgs dnr
i; g the winter season ; as this article most
likely furnishes them with the necessary ma
terial for forming the shell. Tde next advan
tage was that of seeing the cattle take their
places in the stable, without slipping and fall
ii;g, as thr-y frequently did before the ashes
were used."
