ner; and perhaps this process may be ad
vantageously repeated third time; after
which they should be suffered to go to
seed. The first covering should, unless
the land be very rich, consist in part of
manure, in order to furnish nourishment
to the plant; the second and third may
consist of straw or leaves, as the princi-
pal object is to keep the earth loose and
protect the tubers from the action of the
sum-
{ The propfiely of this suggestion, re-
speeding the best method of planting po-
tatoes, will be apparent when it is recol-
lectcd that the tuber or potato never grows
on the true roots, but on what may be
termed underground branches, or shoots
from the main stems. So true is this
that De Candolle in his experiments on
this root, by peculiar management, was
| able to produce them on the stem itself
BY increasing the number of these under
ground shoots, while we take care tina
the supply of nourishment shall be am
pie, we of course increase the number o
potatoes, and the quantity of the crop
If the reasoning of the writer is vel
founded, ample killing of potatoes mus
be useful, while the greatest care must b,
taken not to disturb either the true roots
from which the whole derive its nourish
ment, or the shoots which are to original,
the tubers. To obviate this danger O
disturbing the roots or shoots, Gen. Barn
um, OF Vermont, we'll known as one
the most successful potatoe growers in tn
, United States, is in the habit of cartin!
rich earth on to his potatoe fields, an
putting shovel full on each hill whe
the plants have gained few inches i
: height. Potatoes require soil or be
r that is loose for the tubers to form in, an
moisture and exclusion from light is in
: dispensable to their perfection. In har
, ground they cannot grow, in dry poo
they will not Genesee Farmer.

PULvERIz1NG THE SOIL.

The celebrated Tull maintained that
good crops might be produced without
limit, by simply keeping the earth finely
pulverized; and, though that theory is
untenable, no one can doubt that much of
the fertility of the soil is owing to its be-
ing in such state that its particles can be
exposed to atmospheric influence pro-
cess termed eration. All atmospheric air
contains more or less of the gases neces-
-sary to vegetation, particularly carbonic
gas, and this is absorbed by the water of
the earth, and in that way is made availa-
BILE as food for plants. Where animal
mancres are used, large quantities Of am
moniacal gas are generated and thrown of
into the air; and this substance, one OF
the most energetic OF vegetable stimu-
lants, is also absorbed by the earth with
which it comes in contact This is prov
ed by the non-escape Of these gases from
piles of manure, when covered bv earth
during their Preventative process. This
absorbing process is always in proportion
to the surface exposed to the action of the
air.
The surface of square inch of earth
and consequently its absorbing power
may be increased a million fold by pull.
verization, and hence the advantage and
necessity of stirring the earth, and rem
dering it fine, becomes apparent Othel
circumstances being equal, the goodness
of any crop will be in proportion to tn,
care used in keeping the earth fine, AM
in proper absorbing state. In no crol
is this made more plain, than in that G

Agriculture in Canada.

Notice has already been made in this
paper of "The Canadian Quarterly Ag-
ricultural and Industrial Magazine" for
August. If we again revert to this mag
aztne, its importance is a sufficient excuse
1t cannot but be matter of regret that
this work is not only not well supported
but that the proprietor and editor, who
has done great service to this province by
his former works on agriculture, has not
received sufficient patronage to pay the
expense Of publishing. No farmer should
be without this Magazine, and to every
person residing in this country, it will be
OF more or less benefit. We have room
to-day but for the following extracts on
The Importance of Agriculture, &C."

the Creator and Benefactor OF the Unit
verse, for the support and happiness OF

ton, by the process of respiration, are
constantly consuming oxygen, or the VI
tai portion of the atmosphere, which. ex-
cept for some provision for replenishing.
mus! eventually render the air we breathe
incapable of supporting animal life
This provision is found in the vegetable
kingdom, which, by the process OF veget-
alton, decomposes carbonic acid, or fixed
air, and separates from it the oxygen,
which was consumed by respiration. in
the formation of the same carbonic acid.
which is again decomposed by the veget-
ables it supports; thus the animal and
vegetable creation, in obedience to laws
established for both, are performing I'M
portaLt services for each other.
But the most important of all laws, in
stituted for the government OF the three
great kingdoms of nature, are those de-
signed for the use of moral universe
for the intercourse Of moral beings with
each other, and for directing and aiding
rational creatures to perform faithfully
1 and constantly, the duties they owe to
their Creator. These laws, so clearly
fully and beautifully developed in the vol
ume of inspiration, and by natural reli.
gion,, it is the first duty of every farmer
as of every rational and immortal being
to understand and observe
By strictly observing the laws here
glanced at, and established by the Crea.
tor for the government and happiness O.
his creatures, whether in the ordinary
pursuits of business, in the intercourse
between man and man, or between the
creature and his Creator, not only farm
ers, but every other class of the commu

ing, and of answering the purposes o

can be observed. they must be understood
To understand them is the great object o
