LOWING WITH THE "ELEMENTS."
A proper understanding of the proximate
s well as the uliimale results aimed at in
the various mechanical operations upou the
soil would undoubtedly lead to a Letter per
formance of these operations.
Of the millions who follow the piow in
its unending furrow from their boyhood's
days, when they can scarcely reach up to
the handles, and steady the share with thetr
youthful hut muscular arms, until they lie
down beneath the clods they have so often
turned, how few comparatively know more
of the rational* of plowing tuau the brute
semi-r a>nueis that drag the implement
along. The latter know irow experience
that by meekly submittal g to the yoke they
avoid the good of the whip . the former, with
a lit'le tii'irc exercise of'hei- reasoning
lacul.ies, know hy cxpi, also, that they
can avoid the goad of starvation by breaking
up the soil with some such implement—
called a plow—as fat her used. The admis
sion of air loaded with for food for the com
ing crop, the disintegration of the earthy
particles and the unlocking of the Lid-den
elements, the preparation of a suitable bed
or nest for the lender rootlets, the proper
admixture of the upper vegetable mold with
the mineral stones uuderneatb, tie superior
value of a root shciter deep down below the
scorching rays of the sun, the destruction
of poisonous compounds, existing in the
native soil by the admission of air, the be
neficial effect of disintegrating frosts upon
ground deeply plowed in Autumn—these
and many other similar questions of impor
tance, in themselves deeply interesting, are
not those which usually occupy the thoughts
of the mass of agricultural laborers. These
various topics, conuected with the single
operation of plowing, are each worthy of &
chapter longer than the limits of a newspa
per article. We will now refer briefly to a
single one of them as being appropriate to
the season, viz :
FALL FLOWISQ FOR SPRING CROPS
Jho general experience of farmers l.ns
provided that these is a decided advantage
resulting from breaking up the soil deeply
in Autumn for most of iLe spring crops, and
this process, developed Ly and founded
upon experience,is sustained by intelligent
tueorv.
There ar n few soils worth cultivating p.?
all which Jo not contain more or loss ot
materials that can ! >e rendered available for
by tee combined action of air and frost.—
All cur ''pi,* were originally derived from
recks wjicu have been Diekcn up acd worn
dowa by floods, by the alternate expansion
auc contraction of heat and cold, nod the
chemical action of the air or gases mingled
with it. Upon the .surface, a loo;; continu
ance of these agencies has reduced a portion
of the soil to a finely divided sta'c. while
below the reach of frost tiis particles re-
Iniin in the current' Cue state in wi.kh
they were originally deposited Ly the floods
vhioli once wept over the surface, nnd
deposited them in their present position
The action of trcst usually extends but a
few inches boiow the surface, and it is an
object for the cnltivator to so break up and
arrange the surface as to extend their
action as deeply a? possible.
V. o know a gardener, residing near a
town, who devotes his whole time and labor
to a single acre of gtound, and be raises for
the market from this limited space fully
enough to sustain a large family in comforta
ble circumstances, besides "laying up" a
little every year. lie plots it into high,
narrow ridges every Autumn, and let it be
thus till Spring. These ridges are frctr,
three to four feet high, whan first thrown,
and are us narrow as they weil can be made.
The appearance of a section of the surface
after the completion of the ridging is some
what liuj the following :
AAAAAA
During V\ inter the side crumbles down
FO as to partiy till up the intervening hol
lows, bit - the I'i igesarc s'ill elevated twa
or more foot at the close of Winter.
V e can reality perceive the effects of
snchaa arrarigenicni Owing to the utr
lownesi of tlie ridge- the frl penetrates
to the centre of each, while in the bottom
of the furrow- it goes down as deeply as it
would have done from the undisturbed sar-
ftce, an. by t..:i inr.iii *,lic vb.-'le toil ua-
dergofcs the freezing r .J JO t'; i
of nearly three tVt. it >3 thus mellowed
and littei for the receotinu of th> roots of
future crop=. The air is admitted i;> that
depth, auil oxyuirss or destroys tue po,ton-
CUB compounds that abound m ail s->i 3 not
subjected to its action.
The air also circulate* freely rh.-cvizh the
ridge 3, and deposits :•* rrh stores .if oai
moaia and otiier nutriti"a* irises. Tnc
supplies of organic jjaat-iootl from this
source saves from out-forth •> one-third of
'he manure that won! i otherwise t** requir-
Tue ground is much sooner freed from
water in the Spring, nd quickly warned
up by the vernal sun, so that spring plan
ting acti sowing can be ooiuiiieaee.i several
days sooner thaa on 2it land, as is abun
dantly proved by the fact that tho cultiva
tor of t!\e above garden is aiwuvs first <0
market with potatoes, tomatoes, peas and
other vegetables.
Ihe surface is reatiiy levelled i.o the
Spring by running* double furrow through
the centre of the ridges, an l afterwards
going over theui with a harrow.
In th instance above given, the ridging
is commenced with a piOw aiivi completed
with a space. But the process is applica
ble .n a limited degree over iarg field, with
the use of the plow onlv. A double mould
board plow—one turning a furrow both
ways—is a convenient implement for the
operation. With a strong team such a
flow can be ruu deeply through the ground
at intervals of two or two and a hah" fee 1 ,
which will I save a succession of deep fur
rows and narrow ridges. On heavy, clayey
soil?, it would bo desiraole to rua the same
or a smaller plow a seooni time through
eauh furrow. When tins is done, a wide
yoke or long doabiu tree is required, then
the horses or oxen may waik in the two fur
rows on either side of the one in which the
plow rone.
.But even such a plan may be dispeonsed
with * the common plow will answer. With
this the latiJ may be thrown into narrow
ridges by turning one furrow upon the un
broken soil, and lapping another upou tbe
top of this from the other bide. The third
furrow will of coarse form the first of tha
second ridge. In this method it Is necessa
ry to have a narrow strip in tba middle of
the furrow, a • to tl ")BL<J side"
of the plow.
All the advantages to in the de
scription of the garden pint. are afforucd to
the Spring c.-ups, iucludmg the bettor pul
verization of the soil, tuo earliei Spring
working, the addition of a.uuicuia trotu the
aiuiosoliere &a.
A soil thus expose! is better pulverize !
than ii'three times plowed,anil,in this sense
•we may appropriately terui this winter ex
posure of ttie soil to cold and heat "plowing
with the elements."

THE MEADOWS OF AMERICA. —Gov.
Wright, of Indiana, says that our grass crop
is not properly appreciated. No crop, lie
soys, approaches >0 near spontaneous yield,
and none yields so large a profit. Tno hay
crop or the United States in 1850 be esti
mates at 13,000,000 ton:,; that for 1855 he
estimates aj 15,000,000 ton?, which is worth
5150,000,000; while the whole cotton crop
is valued at only §128,000,000. Of this
cr r p more than half is produced by four
States—New York, (whichyields one forth
of tue whole, Ohio, Indiana, aud Illinois.
The grass crop which is used for pastorage
is at least as valuable ; so that single hub
is worth annually over three huDdred mil
lions of dollars. Few people will believe
that the grass crop of New York ?t*te is
wc;th more than its wheat, and yet statistics
shew that such ir the fact.

; *stei trying almost every physician in my reach,
; and all having failed in relieving my child ot
j the disease, to send for six boxes ot your pills, 1
which proved an effectual cure for my daughter, I
who is now about 18 years of age", i think'
there is no other medicine in use equal to them,
and I will "be forever graletul to you for the use
of them for my daughter whom it has cured.
Yours, respectfully.
Ncrroii& and lonsiiutibual Disea
ses.
Tbeso piils possess a specific action on the
nerveus system, mid although they are prepa
red especially for the purpos. of curing Fits
they will be found ol especial benefit to ail per
son afflicted with weak nerves, or whoso ucr
vous system has been prostrated or shattered
from any cause whatever; in fact it is almost
it.possible to convey an adequate idea vl the
peedy and almost miraculous results which
these pills effect in the diseased, broken down
t" prostrated nervous systems. Persons who
were alt lassitude, werknesss and debility, be
fore their use, at once become robust and full ot
energy. No matter whether the constitution
has been broken down by excess, weak by na
ture, or debilitated by sickness, th ■ r effect on
the unstrung and shattered nervous organiza
tion is equally certain and apparent, iu case,
of neuralgia, headache, vertigo, pain in the
nerves of the face, and the various tram of ner
vous atfjetions, palpitation of the heart, period
ical head iches. cold and shivered state of the
frame, frequent fits of abstraction, total inabili
ty, dislike to society, melancholv, religious mo
nomania, heats and flushes of li.e face on the
slightest occasion, a desire that existence should
terminate; they will produce a cure in an aston
ishingly short period of time, and it will also
remove depression, excitement, a tendency to
blush, restlessness, sleeplessness,incapacity for
study or business, loss of memory, confusion,
giddiness blood to the bead, mental debility,
hysteria, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts 0!
self desfno tion, fear of insanity. &c., Ac.
They will increase and restore tho appetite
strength* D the emaciated, renter the health of
those wt-o have destroyed it by exci sses, and
induce continual cheerfulness and equanimity
of spirits, and prolong life.
Persons of pale complexion and co.numptive
habit, are restored by a box or two, to bloom
and vigor, changing the tkia from a pal,|ye:)oi
alekly color, to a bcaut>'ft;l fioiidcompli xion.
07""Aa these Pilla aremmposed ofavnieof
the most expensive rontc ials in the tUteriv
Medina, it will be iro{x,*<ibte to leave them '
around the country on agency, as common l'at-;
ent Molieines usually are. Bat in order to let
the afflicted in the most remote parts of the
country have a chance to obtain them, they
will be sent by mail free of postage, to any part
of the United States, or any country with which
the United States has postal arrangements, or

Several yars before the French occuca

demned to death—two brothers who We;t

moat surpaWng tales were related. Tic
Bey, fearing they would escap®, ordered
tbctn to be shackled together, that !, each
of them had one foot riveted in the ?an. e
ring of solid iron. No one knows how the
matter was managed, hut every one knows
that when tho execufloner presented Liui
stif, the cell was empty. TLe two broth
ers, who had succeeded in escaping after
vain exertions, to cut or open these com
mon fetter?, proceeded across the country
in order to avoid any urjleasat t
W hen daylight came, they hid themselves in
the rocks; at night they continued their
journey. Iu the middle of the night thev
met a lien. The two brothers leean bv
throwing stones at him and shouting with
all their strength to drive him owav, hut
the animal lay down before them and woe! 1
not stir. Finding that tLreats and insults
did no good, tbey tried the effects of prayer
but the lion bounded upon them, and da.-' '
ed theui to ti< ground, and amused I
l>y eatiug the elder brother of the tv.o at
theside of Lis brother, who pretended to be
dead.
When the lien came to t!>e !c~ wb'c!; ra s

knee. Then, whet her Ire Lad eaten enottuli.

refuge, for he was afraid tie lion would

tberefoto, drawing ufrer him his brother's
leg, he contrived to hide himself ir. a silo
which ho had the gr>„d luck to find hv.
Shortly afterwards, Le heard the lion roar
ing with rage, and pawing to and fro cLw.'
to the hole in which Le had retreated. At
last, daylight came, and the lion departed,
fne instant that the unfortunate man got
cut of the *;!o, he found ltmic'f in t- *
ptesenee of several of the Bev's eavalrr
who were sn his trock. One of them took
him up on horseback behind hi;n, an) he
was brought back to Constantinople, wl e.e
they put him iu prison again. The Bcv.
