AGRICULTURE.
IMPROVEMENT OF SOILS.
.mprove a soil is as much as to say that
we seek to modify its constitution, its physical
7.roperties, in order to bring them into harmony
with the climate and nature of the crops that
are grown. In a district where the soil is too
clayey, our endeavor ought to be to make it ae•
-alert, to a certain extent, the qualities of light
soils. Theory indicates the means to be fol
lewed to effect such a change ; it, suffices to
introduce sand into soils that are too stiff, and
to. ma clay with those that are too sandy. But
- these recommendations of science, which, in
deed, the common sense of mankind had al
ready pointed out, are seldom realized
in practice, and only appear feasible to those
who are entirely unacquainted with rural econ
omy. The digging up and transport of the -va
rious kinds of soil, according to the necessities
of the case, are very costly operations, and I
can quote a particular instance of illustration
of tkis fact -My land at Bechelbronn is 'gen
erally s t ro ng, Bkperiments made in the gar
-den on a small scale showed that an addition
-of sand improved it considerably. - In the mid
•lle of the farm there is a manufactory, which
scumulates such a, quantity of sand that it
• se•,oraes troublesome. Nevertheless, lam sat
isf.,ed that the improvement by means of sand
woald be too costly, and that, all things taken
st.lcount, it would be better policy to buy
-r.ew lands with the capital which would he re
-e_nyed to improve those I already 94oges-s in
he manner which has been indicated. I should
have no difficulty in citing numerous instances
where improvements by mingling different
kinds of soil-were ruinous in the end to those
as ho undertook them.
A piece of sandy soil, for example, pur
-tband at a very low price, after having been
suitably improved by means of clay, cost its
Dprietor much more than the price of the
bees land in the country. Great caution is
erefore necessary in undertaking any im
ivovement of the soil In this direction—in
Jbanging suddenly the nature of the soil.—
Upon stiff, clayey lands we put dressings and
manures which tend to divide it, to lesson its
•_:ohesion, such as ashes, turf, long manure, &c.
-- 41:3 the husbandman has not always suitable
tuaterials at his command, and in this case,
which is perhaps the usual one, he must en
deavor by selecting his crops judiciously, crops
which shall agree best with stiff soils, and at
the same time meet the demands of t he mar-
act, to make the most of his land. in it WW I
lne true husbandman ought to know the quali-
zies and defects of the land which he cultivates,
and to be guided in his operations by these;
and in fact, it is only with such knowledge
that he can know the rent he can afford to pay,
slid estimate the amount of capital which he
, Jan reasonably employ in carrying on the ope
rations of his farm.
If an argillaceous or clayey soil, which we
have seen above, is the best adapted for wheat
ran ',hese countries, it would be absurd to per
sist in attempting to grow crops ;hat require
:an open soil. Clayey lands generally answer
well for meadows, and autumn ploughing is .
highly advantageous to them by reason of the
iislategrating effects of the ensuing winter
Irott.—Boussingault's Rural Economy.
GATHERING- POTATOES.
''_ere is a time which is the fittest and best
in which to perform any kind of work where
-the elements, seasons or nature have anything
in tic with it. Gathering potatoes is one of
lind. When should this be done? Mani
-factly as soon as they are ripe, and ordinarily
Ibis will be in about four months and a half
from the time the . seed is covered in the ground.
After the potato is ripe, there is unreason why
it should remain in the ground ; and certainly,
aince it estnnot increase their size or goodness
'_'.v defeiTing gathering, the sooner it is har
-rested the less danger will arise from heavy
Auti while the soil is dry the more ea
e.an be taken from the earth. But there
J 4 an important consideration connected with
inis. The earlier the potato is dug, the better
•-srortunity there is to destroy the rank weeds
have sprung up since the last hoeing,. In
I,gging, care should be taken , to destroy all
the weeds—and doing this an eye should be
.had for the next season. The potato tops and
all the weeds should be buried as you pass
ha 011 f, in digging. Dig a hill of potatoes, leav
ing the hill open to receive the top weeds;
then take the earth from the next hill back to
cover the tops and weeds thus deposited. In
this way you are destroying at least one-half
the seeds of weeds before they mature, and
are adding to your ground a valuable manuring
for the coming season. And when your lot is
dug over in this way, it looks clean and farm
like, and you have done as good service to the
lot as one good ploughing would be, and better.
This mode of harvesting would suggest the
curliest practicable planting of the potato, that
its harvesting may be made earlier. And the
-earlier it is harvested, we feel satisfied, the
better for the health and cleanliness of the
soil and the more profit to the farmer.—Gra

TIME' FOR CUTTINO TIMBER
Welurge -o r ftetilxrged upon our readers the
- Importance of cutting rails and other timbers
the summer. Experiments of our own and
freinent observation have Satislled us that soft
wood, cut when the bark peels from it freely,
end when it will rapidly season, lasts at least
twice as long as winter or spring cut timber.
The latter seasons slowly and becomes partially
-sou-rotten; the former dries thoroughly and
hardens like horn. There may not be so much
iifferenco in the durability of hard timber
when out in summer and in winter. William
00one, of Michigan, writes to the Rural New
Yorker as follows :
"In June, 29 years ago, having need of a
pair of bar posts, I had to out a tree for that
parFose. I ent a white oak about two feet
through at the butt, and split out a pair. The
- bark peeled off easily. I set them with the
butt end in the ground, Now, that pair of
posts have outlasted about three sets in other
:parte of my farm, and the rails split at that
time are much better than many that were
-split many years after. Nov, bass-wood rails,
wilt, im the summer, when they will peel ea
-aer. will outlast ordinary oak cut in the win
.e_."—Country Gentleman.
KEEP DOWN TUE WEEDS.
The Boston Cultivator well and truly ob
-serves: "Every plant may be likened to a
-7tump---constantly drawing the water and
throwing it off in the atmosphere. The extent
to which this operation is going on is not gen
-trolly observed. Indeed, it is 30112040108 sup
-Posed that living plants keep the soil from dry
ug -A coating of dead vegetable matter
doubtless has this effect; but living plants
zake water from the soil more rapidly than it
tould be carried on by mere surface evapora-
•This has been demonstrated by experiment.
iales found that a sun-flower, three and a
half feet high, lost from its leaves daring 12
!Alan of one day so ounces of water, and in
- another day 20 ounces. The amount of water
lakes up and thrown off by plants depends on
-airwave to the sun's light, it being greatest in
clear weather and least in cloudy weather and
during nights. The amount also varies with
the different species of plants—those whose
Zeaves present most surface to the sun consum
ing most."
