VARIETIES OF SoIt.--Some Of the most
valuable improvements in modern agricul.
ture proceed from the discovery that all
plants do not exhaust from the component
parts of it and that no two plants of a diff
ferent kind abstract the same proportion of
each ingredient.
Hence, beyond all question, it is esta-
blished lst. That every kind of soil is,
in its natural state, fitted for the production
Of some one or other ofthe thousand plants
that cover the earth and ID. That the
addition to it, by human labor, of those in
gradients or substances Of which any soil
is deficient will fit it for the production Of
plants that require those ingredients.
Careful examination has also shown that
sIlicious or finty matter not only cOnsti.
tutes a large portion of all soils, but also
the largest ingredient in the composition Of
oats, wheat, Indian corn, rye, and barley.
1t also demonstrates that certain other sub.
stances, of which lime is always one, are
contained In these and other plants, a very
large portion of it entering into the compo.
sition of clover and corn.
From these facts 1t follows that the adj
dition of lime to soils from which it is ma
turalIy absent must confer upon them the
power to produce those useful plants, es@
peciaIly corn and clover, so far as unpro-
ductiveness of them was caused by its alb.
sence.
The same may be said of potash, soda,
~magnesia, and certain acids, all of which
are ingredients in most of the useful plants.
In this view of our soils, the presence Of
limestone in large quantities in any coun-
try is second in value to hat of no other
mineral, not even excepting coal or iron.
For, as the productions of the farmer are
Indispensable to persons in every business,
and as the proper application oflime to the
soils which are destitute oft will convert
them into fruitful agricultural districts, the
value of limestone must be beyond that Of
any mineral we possess.

Sailing MEAT.-The sooner meat is
sailed after being killed the better, as it
then possesses considerable absorbent
power, which It gradually loses by age,
and when it once becomes putrid it can
never be sailed at all. One of the best
modes of curing is, to rub the meat well
with a mixture of common rock salt 2
pounds; sal,petre 2 ounces; and moist
sugar II ounces, ill every c~revice is
thoroughly penetrated, after whichit should
be set aside till the next day, when it
should be covered with fresh salt in such
parts as have been most exposed. 1t may
then be advantageously placed in a proper
vessel and subjected to pressure, adding a
little more salt as may be necessary, and
turning it daily ill sufficiently cured
When the brine, as 1t forms, is allow
cd TO drain from the meat, the process is
called dry.salting; but when, on the con-
trary, it is allowed to remain on it, tho
mode is called wet-salted. On a small
scale, the latter is most conveniently per-
formed by rubbing the meat with salt, &c,
as above directed; and after it has lain a
few hours, putting it into a pickle formed
by dissolving four pounds of rock salt, half
pound of sugar, and two ounces eff ~saltpetre
in two gallons of water. This pickle H.
quor becomes weaker by use, and should
therefore be occasionally boiled down a
a little and skinned, adding, at the same
time, more of the dried ingredients.

ELECTRo CULTUBE.-Much vas said Il
year or two since, and high expectations
raised relative to accelerating the growth
of vegetables by electricity. Plats of
ground were encircled by wires buried
beneath the surface ofthe soil, and con-
nected with upright pointed conductors for
stimulating the growing plants, the opera.
tor forgetting tbat :be moist soil, being a
free conductor of electricity, dissipated in IL
moment every particle of the fluid that
came down the rods, and not reaching the
plants; and also forgetting that If the soil
were not a conductor, the electricity thus
brought down could never reach them; two
conflicting absurdties thus laying at the
very threshold. Extraordinary expecta-
tons were also raised by the occasional
observance oftbe great luxuriance ofsome
plants at the foot of lightning rods-result-
ing from growing in the deep bed of mel.
low soil made by digging the hole for the
lower end ofthe rod.
Accurate scientific experiments have
been lately made under the supervision Of
Professor Solly, Of the London Horticultu-
raj Society, which set the matter finally at
rest. A large and powerful cylinder cleo
trio machine was used, and the plants, in
pots, within doors, were kept heavily
charged, four hours each day, for four weeksj
and although the experiment was va ried in
many different ways, not the slightest in.
huence could in any case be perceived, Ell.
thBr favorable or detrimental TO vegetable
growth. The plants operated Upon, seve-
raj pots of each sort being aken, were
young French beans; young plants ofthe
common scarlet geranium; plants of tht
strawberry; seeds of wheat; and seeds o
mustard and cress. Experiments were
afterwards made in the open air on a NUN.
Der of different plants, and the machine
worked four hours each day for nearly si1
weeks, but not the slightest difference could
be observed between those electrified and
those not.

COTToN IN INDIA.-The British Gov.
eminent has for several years had its alton.
ton directed to tho subject of promoting the
culture Of cotton in its possessions In India
Heretofore il has not been able to accom-.
plish much. A late number Of the London
Times says that the British ministers have
received and are considering Il most Coth-
prehensive plum for the further growth and
greater encouragement Of the cultivation
ofcotton in India, 80 as to make England,
whenever ~expsdient, entirely independent
Of the United States for the basis of tho
greatest Of its staple manufactures.
What the nature Of this plan Is is not
stated. The efforts, that have been made
in former years, were rather diScouraging
to the hope entertained In England Of rem,
dering her independent Of the U. States
for the supplies Of cotton. II she should
ever be able to obtain her supplies from
India, there would be a very speedy and
universal conviction started up in the minds
of the free .tradists in the U. States in fayot
of protection. The cotton growers then,
instead of exPatiating on the glories o.
free-trade, would become convincingly e1o,
quent on the subject Of the necessity Of d
highly protective tariff.
