During the week ending the Isl instant,
there were S. deputies and 10 senators

gravest approximations are entertained lest

the editor on the proper treatment OF differ
ent soils. and the improvement of such as
are deficient in the proper qualities. We
make the following extract:
The natural remedy for heavy clav
soil in kitchen garden, is to mix sand with
it. This acts like charm upon the stub
born alumina, and allowing the atmospheric
influences to penetrate where lhey were
formerly shut out, gives a stimulus, or rath-
er an opportunity, TO vegetable growth,
which quickly produces its result III The
quantity and quality OF the crops.
Butt not unfrequenily happens that sand
IS not 10 be abundantly and cheap!y enough
had to enable the proprietor OF small means
TO effect this beneficial change. In this
case, we propose TO the kitchen gardener to
achieve his object by another mode, equal
~ efficient aud so easy and cheap as to be
within the reach of almost every one.
This is TO alter the texture of too heavy
soils, by burning portion OF the clay.
Very few of our practical gardeners seem
10 be aware Of two important facts. First,
that clay, when once burut never rcgajns
It's power of cohesion, but always remains
in pulyerized state; and therefore is iust
as useful, mechanically, in making a heavy
soil light, as sand itself. Second, that
burnt clay, by its power of attracting from
the atmosphere those gases. which are the
food OF vegetables, is really most excel
lent manure Itself. Hence in any clayev
kitchen garden, where brush, taggots, or re-
fuse fuel of any description can be had,
there IS no reason why It's cold compact
soil should not be turned al once, by this
process OF burning clay, into one compara-
lively light, warm and produrliye.@
The difficulty which stands in the way
Of the kitchen gardener, who has 10 contend
with a very light and too sandy soil, is its
want Of capacity torrciaining moisture, and
the consequent failure Of all the summer
crops.
In some instances this is very easily re-
mcIIed " mean in those eases where
loan or heavier subsoi lies below the sur
face. IrcncHiHg. or subsoiI blowing, by
bringing up a part Of the aIumiua ftom be-
low, and mixing it with the sand OF the
surface sod, remedies the defect very spec
dtly. But where the Suhsoi is no better
than the top, or perhaps even worse, there
are bat two modes Of overcoming ibis bad
constitution Of the sod. One Of those is. to
grasp the difficulty d! once by applying 4
coat OF clay to the surface Of the soil, and
mixing it with the soil az YOU would ma
mare; the other "a less expensive and more
gradual proclss) is to manure the Kitchen
garden every year with compost, in which
