§LoTirttUu*ai. Ploughing. BY D. a. EDWARDS. Floughiug, like navigation, has its the ory, as well as its practical part ; and the better both are understood, the more profi table, and easier the plough-man can per form his work. The theory of ploughing differs much in diflereut soils, and in diffe r eut seasons of the year, and for different kinds of crops ; for instance,if greensward, well manured,is turned over for corn in the spring, it should not be ploughed so deep as the same ground ploughed at the same time without manure, for summer-fallow, or buckwheat ground, should be. Also spring wheat ground,ploughed iu the spring,should not be ploughed too deep, (I speak of our red-shale soil); with few such exceptions, deep ploughing suits me the best. And deep ploughing I have practiced, both on this and on the other side of the "briny ocean. Mr. President,before I leave what I think is in connection with the theory of plough ing, I beg permission to condemn one habit that I have seen in this country, and which is still more or less practiced, without any earthly reason for so "doing, and only the same us the man going to mill with grain in one end of the bag and a stone in the other, because his father and grandfather did so. And that habit is cross-ploughing every other year. It never was practiced iu the school that I have been to, excepting summer-fallow or barley ground ; and in both those cases it is ploughed in very large lauds,in order not to make it uneven ; for when the lands are ploughed six or eight paces wide, (which is the ordinary width of lauds iu dry ground,) the whole field is thus made uneven. Wherever the back furrows cross, it raises the ground, and wherever the dead-furrows cross, it forms a wide low spot,from which spots the surface water can never be drained oil'; aud after heavy rain, water remains on such spots, • until the infant sprout catches cold on its ' mother's lap, and it never comes to maturi ty. Besides a loss of several bushels of grain per acre, it makes the ground unfit for both mower and roller, when seeded down for a meadow. If such practice is considered profitable among the stumps on new land, then the stump machine itself certainly ought to be considered a sufficient sign that it is out of date for such fields as the stump .machine is used upon. Much more could be said on the theory of ploughing, but I hasten,for I expect oth ers to speak, who I know are full as capa ble of handling both the subject and the plough. Next the practical part. Having noticed much negligence iu performing this import ant part of our occupation, I have for many years considered it necessary for some one to make a public notice, and correct the negligent, and teach boys a better style.— And while I am at that, the scientific and practical ploughman will be considered as the well man, who needs no medicine. The first neglect I notice, is, not to com mence in the right place ; and that is, to plough a shallow furrow to form a headland, the width of which should be in proportion to the teams —if a single team, the length of the team, harness and plough will suf fice ; if double, so much wider ; which fur row will serve as a mark to keep the fur rows uniform in length. • The headland should be ploughed last, in the same manner as the other lands,revers ing it every other year by back-furrowing it, in order to keep it even. Nothing I despise more than to see a •man ploughing without headlands ; for, by ploughing round, (or square,if you please,) the team inust be driven on the ploughed ground, in every corner, trampling the fur rows, until it looks more like a road or brickyard than ground turned over on which to produce a crop. The second negligence, which is not the least, is not to measure every land before it is struck out, for it should be uniform in width, and straight, in order that the last furrow may be whole and avoid turning back in the middle of the land. I hope, none of the hoys will ever under take to strike out a land without a mark ; for even our Bible teaches us to look on the mark, and not turn back,but hold our hands fast on the plough straight to the end.— I hope you will have pride enough to plough straight, if nothing else. Show me a plough man who has no pride, and I will show you one that I don't want to employ to plough for me ; lor I follow my occupation fur plea sure as much as profit. The house-builder, and the wheel-right, Ac., have their chalk-line and square to use ; and it is right they should use them —for without they would waste both time and lumber. Why not plough by rule ? Business men have their detectors ; farmers ought to know how to detect poor ploughmen ; for there are many worthy capitalists who in vest in agricultural pursuits, who arc not judges themselves ; and also widows, hav ing lost their life-mates, and are dependent on others to do their ploughing, Ac. F irst, they can be detected generally by their voice ; but most always, like hog- noise than wool. Next they curse, and whip or stone the team, sending the plough to a watmer climate, and him that made it, when in fact the fault lies all behind the plough. I beg leave to address myself once more to you, boys. Never keep much noise when ploughing, nor allow yourselves to curse nor swear. I have no doubt if the ploughing-matcb, ouce existing under the intlnence of our county Fair, had been continued, that it would have done much good ere this. I propose that another shall be organized.— One sub-district is enough in which to hold a ploughing-match. By so doing,we would raise a spirit of pride and competition,with out which we shall never have the pleasure of seeing much reform. To KEEP EGGS. —Last August we placed a thick layer of salt on the bottom of a large sap-bucket—oiled the eggs with fried meat fat, and placed them in the salt in such a way as to prevent touching each other, lit tle end down. Then a layer of salt and then eggs, till the bucket was full. Set in the cellar. I sed the last in May,and found them as fresh as need be—not a bad ono among them. —To MAKE BERRY PODDING. —Take two teacups of sour cream ; two eggs, well beaien ; one tablespoonful saleratus, a lit tle salt ; stir iu wheat flour enough to make quite a thick batter ; put half the batter in a well buttered tin, then put in one quart of heri ies, aud remainder of your but ter. Bake one hour and serve hot, with sweet cream and sugar. It is excellent.— The above is sufficient for four or five per sons.

To those requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to his new kind of work which consists of porcelain ior both plate and teeth, and iorming a continuous gum.
