Fall Flowing.

The advantages of fall plowing may be
enumerated as follows
l. In autumn, the team having been in-
urcd to work through the summer, is more
vigorous and better prepared for labor than
in the spring, and other farm work Is les
pressing in its demands upon the time and
the attention than in that bustling period.
Let all the plowing be done which is posi-
BILE in the hll, and still the spring work
would give abundant employment to the
farmer and his teams, in drawing manure,
croSs-plowing, cul,ivating, narrowing, &c.
2. In the fall, low, moist lands are gener-
ally in better condition for plowins than in
spring time. We say generally, for this
season low, moist lands are decidedly moist
ut present. Still, we canno. hope for any
better state very early next year, and If
plowed as they should be, wet lands will
suffer very little from water through the
winter.
3. Stiff. heavy soils, plowed in autumn,
undergo, by the action Of water and frost, a
more thorough disintegntion--clays are
pulyeriled and crumbled, and heavy loans
and hard pan lands are acted upon in a
like manner and with like benefit.
4. Heavy, coarse swards, full Of rank
weeds and grasses, can be better subdued by
plowing IN the f,ll-their roots are more
apt to die out, and Gar less liable to sprout
again when plowed in the spring. The turi
Is better prepared, by its moro advanced
state Of decay, for the uss Of the crops
which may bc sowu or planted upon It.
5. Fall plowing disturb. the winter ar,
ransements' Of numerous worms and insects
and must destroy a large number Of thes'
pests. and also their eggs and lave. Thi'
is minor advantage, but one worthy o
consideration, especially on lands infestet
with the wire-worm.
The principal objections to fall plowinl
are these; ......,. r..
1. The loss of that fresh, friable condition
readily pcrmeable to air and moisture, an,
the consolidation Of the soil by long expo
surc to changing and stormy weather. This
on SOILS Of q light character, is a very scri
Gus objection to plowinS in autumn.
i .. The loss Of vegetable matter and IN
gascs of the same while in state Of decay
b another disadvantage. The latter 10 bu

69r One singular fact, connected with
this election, outside from the larScness OF
the aggregate vote, is the falling oil in the
vote OF both wing and democratic cindi'
dates over that they received last year. The
vote for Patten, the whig candidate. is ~
200. and that for Wells is 4 4,40S, less than
their respective votes last ycar-makins, in
the aggregate, diminution of S,-6lO votes
Tor the wing and democratic candidates,
compared with that Of last year.
Here are two puzzlinS questions. LIST.
how did Wells lose 50 many votes? and ii,
how did Patten retain no many? The whig
party had no national organization, and the
democratic party had everything which
should call out the fullest vote that II could
command in Its palmiest days-cxccpt, OF
course, true democratic principlcs-yet the
whig candidate lost, under the circumstan'
ces, much less than the democratic.
The answer to these questions Is this
very many of the democrats voted for Pat
ten, hoping thereby to give him fair vote
and in the belief that there would be nj
choice by the people, to secure his election
as Governor and that Of Gov. Wells rs U
5. Senator. This was the game as distinct
ly and openly talked olby many democrats
We know quite number who avow tha
they voted l.r Patten, under that idea. Thi
is the only way in which this singular phe
nomona can be accounted for. Suppos
every one of the votes lacking to Wells an'
Patten as compared with last year, ha'
been thrown for Hamlin, they would no
have been sufficient To make up Hamlin''
vote. Besides there can be no doubt, juds
ing from the vote among us, that fully tw
thirds Of thosc who voted for Reed last yea
voted for llamlin this year. tn.
We repeat then, that the only way Il
which the vote for Patten can be accounts
FOR, is on the suppositiOn that a large nun
her Of democrats voted for him, in tho be
lief that there would be no election by th
people State Of Maine. lo uc.f.
The suppositiop of the State of Maine
