The NECESSITY OF DRouonI AND ITS BENEFITS.
The State Agricultural Chemist Of Maryland,
MIR. Higgins, publishes n paper showing the neces-
sity of ~droughts to replenish the soil with mineral
substances carried of to The sea by rains, and also
taken up by the and not returned by manure.
These two cause, always IN operation, in time rem
der the earth a barren waste, in which no verdure
would quicken, and no solitary plant take root, if
there was. not a natural couu,eraction by drought.
which operates to supply the waste in the following
monncr. During dry weather a continual evapora,
ton tlkes place from the surface Of the earth,
which is not supplied by any from the clouds. The
evaporation from the surface creates a vacuum, so
far as water is concerned, which is at once filled
by the water rising up from the subsoil replaced
from the next strata below, and in this manner The
circulation of water in the earth is the reverse to
that which takes plac, in wet weather.-Wit
water also ascend The minerals held in solution, the
phosphates and sulphates Of lime, carbonate and
silieate Of potash, which are deposited in the sur.
face soil as the water evapCrates, and thus restore
the !osses sustained as above stated. The authur
OF this theory appears to have taken considerable
pains to verify the fact by a number of interesting
experiments. The subject is worthy the attention
of men of leisure and of education, who pursue
the rational system of blending chemistry with
agricultural science.

By HOWARD WORCESTER GILBERT.
The horseman rides through the valley bright,
On the soow-feld ~shimmers the clear sunlight.
Through the chilly snow in sweat rides he,
Yet to-day must he reach the Bodonsec;
To-day with his horse, in the boat, pass Ger,
Aud land, ere night, on the othor shore.
On his toilsomC way, over thorn and stone,
Ga his stalwart steei he journeys alone.
From the mountains out IN the level land,
The snow be sceth spread out like sand.
Behind him far vanish thorp and town,
The way is level and smooth like down.
Neither hill nor house in the plain of white.
The trees and the rocks thoy fade from sight.
A league and twain thus hurrics he by,
lie hears in the air the snow.swan's cry;
Up futters the water.hen in fear,
No other sound breaks on his ear,
No wanderers lone can he there espy
To show him whittier his way may lie.
As DER velvet the path DER the yielding snow
When shall rush the water, the broad lake glow ?
Now closeth around the early night;
In TIE distance wrinkles many q light.
The trees from the mist rise, ono By one,
And hills Sound the widespread plain of dun.
lie sees on the ground the thorn and stone,
And spurs his steed DER the pathway on.

"Groat God Ger the lake thou hast ridden here a.!

Thy steed's mad hoof ha'h awaked from sleep;
"And rourd thee did not the waters dash?

"Of the silent tribes thou vast not food?
OF the hungry pike in the cold, cold food |"
She calls the village the tale to hear,
The boys around her arc gathered near;
Old danes and sires her story heed,
Eyes, stranger, now bless thou thyself indeed |"
"Come in to the hearth, to the board-at wish,
Break with US OF bread and eat of the fish"
But the rider ne'er on his steed hath stirred,
His ear hath heard but the first dread word.
His heart it ~falters. and stiaens his hair,
Behind yawns the awful danger yet there,
His eye sees only the dread abyss.
He sinks in the black gulf fa,homless.
Tie hears of the ice the crashing roar,
Cold swear, like the wave, hath covered him DER.
He signs and sinks from his horse on the strand,
He hath found a grave on he firm, dry land.

DEFICIENCY.

But. it must lie observed, that wheat is almost
exclusively used among the white inhabitants Ior
bread and that Of corn we arc now exporting
(which we formerly did not an amount equal to
the apparent gain. On the whole, it is apparent
that the increase Of vegetable food in the United
States, has rather fallen behind than kept up with
he progress of population. 1t is also apparent.
that in future, the great sta pie in Jreadstuhs for
us. and for the world, is the Maize, or Indian Corn
This is the only crop. even in our fertile country,
which keeps up and goes beyond the Increase of
population. 1t may lie we'll to look for Il moment
at the increase of this crop. We have the follow
ing data for II calculation, viz:
Corn crop of 1910 377,54l,s75 bushels
1850 592, Oh ,l04 "
Annual Increase 6 per cent.
Crop Ct 1885 calculated on this
basis 500, 900. 900 bushels
Probable crop of 1860 : : 1000, 000,0 0
This increase, however will not take place unless
we find a foreign market, which we shall probably
do. On this head we intend hereafter, to give the
data for surprising that the rapid increase Of the
corn crop will continue.
One of the most remarkable facts in relation to
the diminion of the agricultural production, is that
Of the diminished relative increase of animals.
