Thorough Pulverizatlon Of The Sol.

" The finer the land Is made by tiIlage, the
richer will II become, and the more plants il
will maintain. Ii has been observed that
when part Of the ground has been better til
led than the rest, and the whole ground con-
stantly managed alike afterwards for six or
seven years successiyely, this part that was
bnt once better titled, always produced bet
ter crop than the rest, and the difference re-
mained very visible every harvest"
So wrote Jethro Tull. To certain extent
experience has fully proved the truth Of this
assertion. On heavy clay soil, abounding in
all The elements Of plants, but which were
locked up in an unassimilable condition,
thorough tillagc, by admitting air and tight
into the soil, and thus fasoring the discnte-
grafton Of the inorganic. end the decompo-
sition Of the organic matter Of the sol, has
in innumerable instances rendered the soil
exceedingly productive for several years.
But on light soils, which contain less pro-
portion Of those substances which form the
food Of plants, and which are naturally less
'imperyinus 20 air aud light, no such results
are obtained. Good tillagc i necessary on
all soils, but tillagc alone will not enable the
farmer Of light sandy land 10 obtain large
crops for but a few years at the longest.
Tillagc renders available The food Of plants
living in an insoluble condition in the soil :
but IL this food of plants i not in the soil. no
amount Of mechanical or chemical action can
render such soils fertile.
II Is true, however. that iAs soils are 50

From the Ohio Valley Farmer.
EFFECTS or CLOVER HAY ON ANNA

EFFECTS OF CLOVER HAY ON ANIMALS.
Some late writers have taken the position
that clover hay produces most injurious ef-
feet on domestic animals. particularly horses,
and that to this cause the great increase Of
diseased horses is to be attributed. We late
ly heard farmer affirm, that he believed the
introduction Of clover into general cultiva-
tion the greatest curse yet inflicted on the
country, and assigned as a reason for this
singular opinion its effects on animals when
used es fodder. Late English writers have
attributed to this kind Of hay the prevalence
of heayes in horses and the great Increase of
other diseases that affect tile respiratory or
gans. This is most important subject, and
should receive a full investigation. Clover
is too important plant 10 be discarded, or
condemned, except upon the most satslac-
tory evidence. lis value as fertilizer and
preparatiyc for wheat, to say nothing Of its
use for pasture or hay, would demand that it
should not be condemned unheard. For our
selves, we have very little belief in the in-
furious properties assigned to clover. We
have used i constantly for pasture and for
hay, more than thirty years, and never 10
our knowledge, has any animal suffered from
IL; certainly no horse has been taken with
the heayes when fed on it, or while in our
possession. A, hay for sheep, we have con-
sidered il unriyalled. and should have no
fears that any stock would not winter we'll
with a supply Of wcll-cured clover hay.
And here lies, We think, the great source
Of objection TO cover hay. 1t is too often
limperiectly cured. To save the leaves and
the heads, which are apt TO fall in handling
or curing. the hay is put iuto the barn while
the large stems are full Of moisture, or the
natural juices, and the fermentation which
ensues causes the whole mass to become
damp; and if not spoiled wholly, il becomes
mouldy, black, and when used raises such a
dust il il no wonder that horses and cattle
are choked or their lungs DESTROYED. Our
experience shows that clover may be perfect
Il cured without losing any Of ITS valuable
parts: cured so that when fed out, no more
dust will be Gying than from timothy or
herds grass. and We shall be slow TO believe
that from such hay any injury to animals ever
ensues.

of their experience. One writer only, as far
as We remember, responded, and his opinion
was that the guano afforded no protection.
We have recently seen the gentleman to
whom we have first above alluded, and he
still contends that guano is a preventive. He
says he has field Of one hundred acres, on
all Of which he designed to use guano, but
that his supply gave out before the seeding
Of the field was fully completed. Where the
guano was applied, he sees no appearance Of
ily, while the wheat on the remaining por-
