AGRICULTURAL. =EMI The impression is a, very general, if not an universal one,- that a winter-of much snow is productive of More abundant crops in the onsuifig.year:. .The faett-of 'se scrtion ,as well as their consequent results deserve to bo inquired into: for all such tltings enter into the general stock of lcnowl edge which makes up the successful farmer. Why shoislc~~ho quantity.of snow adminis ter to the poll rs of the earth, to produce its own fruit? Are there in,it the ingrediL cots which adininister to the food of plants ? Is its'effeet to cover up end confine to' the earth, that food which. may be stad to be intiere'at, that ft may not scents from the bare earth to the wild winds ? Is it a warm and 'genial :covering to the plant itself, which-keeps-up its life and increases . its strength preparatOrrto ,the growth_of spring, and production of harvest? Or is it 'all m any of these combined ?'- It irk -subs. jest worthy of thought : and one -with which it is worth while to tax our Minds and memories to inquire after the truth : and this, too, without the Height of prev ious prejudices to bias slur minds: for there is no elms- of people whose opihionannd no, Lions are so influenced by apparent facts as farmers:--.they often- set down —results to causes which they think they see, but which, in truth, have no such relation as causes and ,elfeCt. is it tri4 then, yet it is the quantity 91* sr,". ii,,: i.., bor,o6j,Qzw. ... ~ think it is not true. Because we 'do not find ii n , snow itself', such a quantity of food as would benefit plants. And' whilst we concede the fact that a winter of snow is beneficial, we think it is only so,, when it covers the - ground , throughout the whole winter. Occasional and heady snoysiying just long enoug'h to draiiinll frost out of the earth, and start the life of the plant, followed by a ihaw to the bare earth, and subsequent 'frost" and wind is what 'the farmer has to fear ; and' let the quantity of snow have been what it' mnyrit 'has only served to destroy the fiirmer's hopes.' Wheat is a winter plant, and by nature capable of enduring uny - degree.of 'cold in winter and heat in summer, but never both at the seem swdon We may N;enture to _affirm „that if wheat -- were frozen - with 'the Ciirth in the early part of winter and so,. remained until early- spring .the _same productive crops would follow. It is the alternate freezing and thawing, which breaks and forces the roots of wheat from their bed and exposes them to the winds of Maich„ of which 0 , 0 have to complain. But how are wo to guard against this ? for theoretical problems are of little consequence,•unles‘s they MITI be solved for practical 11 . ,ed profitable results. It is a: fact which as perhaps fallen within the observation of every farmer, that poor and, badly cultivated lambytre more injured by excessive wet, hent,c,ffd or any of the contingencies of an irregular season, than' that which is in good. huhrt and well culti vatecl: that to which we must resort at last, to attain 'anything like a bountiful harvest. More. manuro upon' our_ wheat •lands, Mc_inglimg them oftener, deeper and 'better, cultivating :mil harrow*, them' more,. and careful drilling, is cMtainly pre paring to meet the casualties of heat, cold, wet 7 and,dry at, feast halfway, and to make it pay bountifully for the amount of it bestowed. If we but calculate how few bushels of wheat it will take to !my for two, three or four days' additional work upon 0' field, neither the hurry of the season, nor the greater amount we desire to accomplish, will prevent, us. 4-oin,cloing well; that. which we have to do aCall.
