Deeu Cultivation.

Charles Barnard, in the last number of
the Farm Journal, makes the following
satisfactory communication on this subject,
We have never had doubt as to the ad-
vantages Of judicious subsoiling'
Having directed my attention somewhat
to deeper cultivation ofthe soil, and ad-
vantagas arising thercfrom, in the fall of
81, purchased a Michigan Double Plow,
and used il for plowing my oats stubble,
(6rst hauling out the manure which cover
cd bu. part of tho 6cld,) and plowcd it
to the depth, the manure and a greater
part of the top soil, it gave the field dii-
ferent appearance than it ever presented
before. A subsol of FIVE or six inches
seemed but poor prospect for crop Of
wheat, aud the question was frequently
asked. "What do you expect to raise on
that field? ?" However, prepared ground
drilled in the wheat. 1t came up uncom-
monty we'll and soon covered the ground
As to the average yield l cannot say, not
having threshed all yet, But | am conf
dent that on the manured part there was at
least twenty-five bushels per acre. To the
remaining part of the field, I applied $50
lbs, of Jordons phosphate of Lime per acre,
which did not benefit the wheat much, but
had an astonishing effect on the young tim
othy forcing it to such growth as to In
jure the wheat. The grain on this part
was purfect and weighed heavier than the
other, but the. wheat did not she'll out
hence less the yield. In the spring of 81,
l used the same plow for corn, plowing the
same depth. I plowcd abOut six acres
with it, leaving one acre in the middle Of
the field, for l used common plow, pre-
pared the ground and planted the corn
1t came up equally well all over the ield'
and no difference could be seen for two or
three weeks, when there was marked diff,
ference in the color. That on the subsoil-
ed part was pale yellow, andlOOked rath'
or sickly, while the other was dark green
and looked more like making a crop
This had tendency to doubt on my part
as to its answering for corn. Bnt as the
season advanced so did the corn, particu-
l,rly that which grew on the subsoiled part
of the field, aud in few weeks there was
also a marked difference in favor of that
subsoiled, and the yield was one-third more
per acre, and ofasuperior quality. l have
also used it for vegetables, and find the
same beneficial results. | will add that
l have full faith in subsoiling, and believe
the Michigan Double Plow to be pretera-
bic to any other that has come under my
notice.

Settitp Ont Trees.

On the opening of early spring, large
proportion of our readers are particularly
interested in any plain, simple directions as
to the best manner of setting out trees, and
especially so, when in that way, common
fatal errors are avoided. Let us therefore
suggest.
l. Do not set them deep This is the
secret of the grand discovery of the great
law of vegetation, for which Russell Com
stock asked the small sum of one hundred
and fifty dollars:
"That the "seat of life, I'M tree or plant
is Just at the point where the earth should
cease to cover the foot of the tree. If cov-
cred deeper it stranglCs the tree at said
seat of life or forces it into sending forth
suckers, which stiles all healthy progress
in the trees"
Now, the discovery is not new one,
that trees must not be too deeply planted !;
certainly no deeper than they were when
growing in the earth previously. With
out doubt thousands of dollars worth of
trees are annually lost to our country by
this simple error.
2. Put nothing but pure and finely pull
verised earth around the roots. Many
persons are told their lands want manure,
ashes &C., and not having time to manure
and ash their whole field, they as a substi.
tutc, put these substances into the holes
for the trees, and minge it in the earth
with which they cover the roots. This is
all rong. The soil may need manure and
ashes, but these should be composed in the
soil before allowed to come in contact with
the 6brous roots Of the young tree.
3. Mulch the tree after setting out
Mulching consists in placing the manure
be it new or old leaves, tanbark or whatev
er is used, loosely on the surface of tn
gronnd for a considerable space around tn
tree. On no account mix it with the sol
in transplnnting.
4. The first step, and most importan
in preparing for fruit yard, is to thol
oughly drain the soil. The tree cannot b
healthy and vigorous without this.
5. Take cate of the tree after setting
out. Many persons do not bestow as mua
labor on tree, which ought in ten yea
toyicld an income Of ten dollars per al
mum, as they do on half dozen hills Of p
tatoes. They do not seem to be awal
how great the difference is between IL
quality and quantity of fruit on kind
treated, we'll fed tree and that Of one ha
starved and dwarfed. Let it be always r
mcmbercd, that whatever is WORTH doir
at all, is always worth doing well.-A'

Rules For Improvement.

Be charitable in thought as well as ac-
tion.
Be open for correction; if you are in
the wrong, acknowledge it frankly.
Be virtuous in mind and body, and let
your thoughts be always pure.
Improve yourself by all the means in
your power, mentally and physically.
In studying concentrate your thoughts
and ideas solely upon the subject before
you.
Never be ashamed of praying "Call
upon the Lord in thy trouble, and he will
answer thee"
Persevere. Never give up thing until
you have tried every every possible way.
Be truly polite. Lord Chesterfield says;
"Good breeding is benevoence in trifes, to
the preference of others to ourselves in the
little affairs Of life."

Little Children.

Ah, these little children!-little witches!
pretty even in all their thoughts and absur-
dities! See, for example, yonder little fel.
low in a naughty ct, he has taken his long
curls over his deep blue eyes-the fair
brow is bent in frown-the rose leaf is
pushed upin de6ance--and the white shout
der thrust forward, Can any but child
look SO pretty, even in their naughtincss?
Then comes the instant changc-Aashing
smiles amt tears-as the good comes hack
all in rush, and you are overwhelmed
with protestations, promises, and kiss
es.-
They are irresistible, too, these little ones
They pull about the scholars pen tumble
sommersetts over his books, and what can
you do? They tear up newsparers-li.tcr
the carpets break, pull, and upset, and then
labber and talk uninteligible English in
sclf.defensc and what can you do for your
self?
"If l had a child" says the precise man,
you should see!
He does have child----and his child tears
up his pauers, tumbles over his things,
and pulls his nose like all other children
and what has the precise man to say for
himself? Nothing. Hei is like every body
else "a little child shall lead lim."
Poor little children, they bring and
teach us human feelings more good than
they get in return. How often does the
infant, with its soft check and helpless hand
awaken mother from woridliness and ego
tism to world of new and higher feeling
How often does the mother repay this, by
doing her best to vipe off, even before the
time; the dew, and fresh simplicity of child
hood, and make her daughter too soon a
woman of the world as she has been.
The hardened heart of a worldly man is
touched by the guitless tones and simple
caresses of his son; but he repaysit in time
by imparing to his boy, AL the crooked
tricks and ways that have undonc HIM
self
Goto the jail-the penitentiary-and find
the most sullen, brutal, and hardened---then
look at your infant son.
Such as he is to you, such to some moth
er was this man. That hard hand was soft
and delicate-that tough voice tender and
lisping; fond eyes followed as he played
and he was rocked as something holy.
There was time, too, when his heart, soft
and unworn, might have heen nodded to
to the questionings of his Maker, and been
sealed with the seal of Heaven. But harsh
hands seized it-and it is over with him
for ever.
So the tender weeping child-he is mad
the ca!lous, heartles man, of the all believ-
ing child-the sneering skeptic, of the
beautiful and notes.-the shameless aban-
doned; and this is what the world does for
the little one.

A Temperance Story.

One evening last week we took our place
at the supper table of Cincinnati and

ton had progressed some before we were
seated. IAN animated discourse was going
on 'twixt an exceedingly sober-faced lady
and gentleman, on the subject of temper
ance.
ooh" exclaimed she, with horror dcpic-
ted on her thin lips, ~ do despise the
whiskey drinker."
The gentleman dropped his knife and
fork, seized her hand and giving it hear
ty shake, We thought tears were going to
drop from his twinkling eyes.
"NIadam," said he, 81 respect your SEN
timents and the heart that dictated it, |
permit no person to GO beyond me in de-
spising the wiskey drinker. I have been
disgusted cn this very boat, and say it
now before our worthy Captains face
What, l ask you, can be more disgusting
than to see well dressed, respectable, ay,
virtuous looking young men, whose moth
ers are probably even now praying that
the tender instruction by which their youth
was Illuminated, may bring forth precious
fruit in their maturity. say, to see such
young men step up to the bar of this boat,
and, without fear Of observing eyes or the
condemnation of enlightened opinion, bra
zenly ask for old Bourbon, Or Rye, OIL
