From the Yankee FJrTler,

PROTECTION AGAINST DROUGHT.
la lllIage, the best protection against
drought that Gun be conveniently pTac.
tlced to grea. extent, IS frequently stir
ring the earth, so as to keep it light aud
loose. Ia this way, the Garth at the sur
face is IN many small PARTICLES, which serve
as a non conductor Of moisture, and retain
il below, where the roots obtain supply.
On the contrary, when the earth IS hard
and compact, the moisture is readily, con.
Quoted off through it, even to a great depth
10 very dry time. As an illustration, If
one end Of a long bar Of iron be put into fire.,
the heat gill readily pass to the other end f.;
but # that bar BE cut into pieces Of one ach
or loss IN length, and laid along in the man.
ner of a bar, the pieces would touch IN
some places, and in others there would be
a small space between thtm; and on heat.
ing one end, the other would not be affect.
ed, as tho beat would no, pass but small
space through the pieces.
Again, VIC will suppose that fro Of
intense heat be mado on a block of iron,
that is four fee, square and ten feet hugh, the
body Of iron would fast become heated
downward even to tho bottom. Now, il
that iron should be cut or broken into fine
pieces, and body Of iron formed OF these
pieces, Of the samo size as the block, and
fire Of like degree of heat made there
on, the heat would work down slowly, after
penetrating a small distance through the
4 many particles, and the Dir intervening be
tween them. We give this as the theory,
1t is practice, as in all other things, that
we rely On as the foundation Of truo science
! There is in dry time, great quantity
Of moisture IN the earth, that is continually
/ rising and passing of IN evaporation; aud
! if this evaporation can be prevented IN a
great measure, by non conductor Of mos
ture at the surface, the plants will suffer
comparatively but little. This is abun,
dainty shown in practice.
Those who have not witnessed from OK.
pcrmens and observation tho advantage
of fine loose earth on the surface as a pro,
lection of plants against drought, would not
be likely TO suppose its effects so great as
il is, though The theory is plausible and rea.
sonable. Corn and other vegetables that
have been we'll hoe9 in extremely dry time
have nourlshed we'll, while some parts left
for experiments were nearly destroyed by
drought.
We noticed the powerful effects of this
protection last season. We cultivated a
few ,icres mostly dry land, md the drought
was severe indeed. Where the soil was
frequently stirred and kept light and loose
on the top, there was constant moisture q
short distance from the top; but where the
