Underdraining upon Clay Ground


Underdraining upon Clay Ground
A Trumhull Co., correspondent Of the
AshtaJuLa Sentinel, relates the following Of
8 farmer iG a ReigLboring county OF tenn-
sylVania:
In Mercer Co., Pa, lives Mr.. Charles
Meiks, WHO owns clay soil farm. On that
farm, lust summer, he underdranrd about
eight acre. after this manner: The drains
were dug parallel with each other, twenty
seven feet apart, thirty inches deep, snt
abobt twelve inches iae. Being un bic %
procure drai tiles, they carted sandstone to
the tire nches, broken to proper size, and
filled in about twelve inches, and wherever
there was low spot they eul cross drain
Alter it was 6n!shed, il was sowed 10 VIII tt
wheat, and The average yield this harvest
was tortvthree bushels per acre, and in
weighing, 1t oreTan Two pounds and hal
per busliel. Other farmers in The neigh
borhood think they have very gaod crop If
they get twenty bushels rer acre, while
with many 1t does not exceed fifteen per
acre. Thus you see there is clear gain oil
tweaty-three, if MT OK twenty eight bushels
per acre.

This city,where the English residents
have been in great perl |, is the capital
of Dude, the kingdom which the Eng
! sh recehtIy annexed 10 their other In
dia possessions. Its population is about
two hundred thousand, and it is situa-
ted on the south side Of the river Coon
tv, which is at all times navigable, and
fails into the ianges between Benares
and Gazypocr. By the nearest road it
IS so miles from Calcutta, @ miles
from Delhi, 2O2 miles from Agra; and
l89 miles from Benares, all important
points at this moment. he streets in
Lucknow occupied by the lower classes
are sunk ten or t~elve feet below the
surface, and are So narrow that the carts
can scarcely pass each .OtbeI; but the
palaces, mosques and burial grounds
are. gorgeously magnificent. 1t was
some years since one Of the largest and
richest cities in Hindostan.

Value of Straw in Manures.

1t is found by careful chemical exami-
nation, that different kinds of straw pos
sesses quite different value, to work up
into manure. This relative value is We.
ry nearly determined by the quantity
OF nitrogen they contain. Barley straw
is the poorest Of al. oat and rye straws
are about one-,hird better; wheat is near
ly double IN value to bar,ey; buck q heal
is rather better than Mhe 1t; meadow
hay or corn stalks are far ahead of any
OF these, being five times as rich in nj
trogen as barley straw, and red clover
hay and pea straw are each about ten
times as rich as barley. Whether sub
stances are mixed directly with manure,
or eaten first by animals, they produce
their relative effects.

Cincinnati Hog Trade.


There has been further decline in
the price of slop-fatted hogs at Cincin
natl The Price Current Of that city
says they are now dull at l,75a2, 95
gross, with a continued downward ten
dency; and on change on tuesday corn
fatted hogs were offered at S5 so net for
Nov delivery without finding buyers.
Those who have contracts 10 receive
hogs at 81 net in November are in an
uncomfortable condition. The Price
Current is of opinion that farmers will
ho'd back in hopes of meeting better
market as the season advances. and this
will lead to an increase in the weight Of
hogs brought TO market and heavier
supply in December. because when they
are fatted they must be sold for what
ever they will bring.

Love-.

never was so impressed with the power
of love as when heard the following story:
A woma had Geadly hatred against iel-
low creature. Now there lived near her,
child no was not polluted with the worlds
xickedness. Mortal man mao taught that
child only simple prayer, but the angels
Ia lked TO her soul, and the IL rd's light
shone clearly there Now that woman once
left her home burning with jealousy, and
she stumbled and fell just where that little
child lived. The woman was angry, and
spike bad words, when the child sweetly
asked, Has she been hurt!' Now The child
was not afraid, but looked her in the face
sud i'd. Never mind! God will rure you:
and will ask him. So she put up her little
hands to the Lord, and said her little prayer.
The tears Of the woman started; the child
was asking the Lord 10 bless her. and the
Lord was looking al her through the chi d!
She could not bear it: she screamed in
agony. And then the child rose up, and the
woman caught her and said, Teach me to
pray The woman forgot her hatred-her
fel.ow-snner, every III ny but that child.
Her look MS on her when ;he child said
DO you love! Me! love! Me! o! who can
I lover I hen said the ch Id in whisper
Love GUd, who loves you and ne, and all
The world 'Yes,' said the woman He
loves you, but he can not love me- The Il
said the child OF love, sYou do not know
our Father, then, for He is love-
Now what that woman felt do not
know, but she fell on her knees, and the
power OF love impressed her; and she let
The chi ID, the little child, lead her home
feeling an angel had been sent to keep her
from great sin, and to tell her Gud was love
and loved her.
Now this wcman became transformed
not by fear, but by the power oi love in 4
little child.

Keeping Potatoes i'm Winter,


Potatoes spoil in winter, if buried,
from three causes. First and greatest
want of ventilation. Secondly, and
nearly allied, dampness. Thirdly and
more rare. freezing armers find most
Of their potatoes spoiled at the top of
their heap; where they suppose they
became frozen; but this is not the usual
cause; the damp, foul. steamy air ascen-
ded there, and could not escape, and
this spoiled them. A hole made IN tt e
top, with a crowbar. and closed with
wisp of straw would have allowed
egress TO the confined air and saved the
potatoes.
The best way to secure potatoes out
doors is to make large heaps, say fifty
or sixty bushels: see that they are dry
and clean, by digging before wet wea-
ther comes on; ever them all with one
foot of packed straw, and three inches
of earth The straw will prevent damp.
ness and the few inches Of earth will ia
ver ventilation. A farmer who raises
many potatoes, and practises this mode
does not lose peck, on the average, in
fifty bushels.

Mineral Wealth Of Ohio.

Men go to California for gpld. and seek
gold. O. pearl. is here. Experience hss
proved that the nsost profuc tive OF all mining
is OF coal and iron. The Boones and Ken
tons hunted over mines, unsuspecied and un-
known, which will become the wealth ,,f
ia. ure ages. Alre idy there is lar Ehore coal
and iron miRes in Ohio, III IN the public
have any idea of. Either the census of 1850
was greatly defect We, OF the growth Of MI
ming in Ohio has imme increased III
the last seren years. In .act, | know the
last To be the case. In lae Counties OF l. W.
renee, Jack on, VintGn and Hooking. many
new furnaces have been opened. aid III
these as in other things there are grea' iu-
provemenls. A furnace now turns out near
ly double as much irUn as It did twenty
years ago. The demand for iron increases
also ttyond all precedent. Ii is not, as
some suppose, the construction of railroads
only, which has Occasiuned this demand.
All the new ar1s Of lite demand iron, and
every new town adds 20 its consumption.
Most happily for Us, we have not only iron
inexhaustibie, but We have begun 10 manu-
facture il, far beyond the increa.e OF impor-
tations, SO that we shall, in a lew wears, be
rid oi the Disgrace of going to foreign na-
tiens for what lies hes2ed up around Our
doors.
In this mining. we find beautiful illus
tratlon Of the dependencies of various ele-
nenis Of industry on each Other. These
iron furnaces cUnsume a great amount OF
food for men and horses. This opens d
market ior the farmer nf The mining coun-
lies. IN fact, the iBrmers oi that region
will soon no other. IL will need the high
est cultivation to supply that demand. So,
also, OF n-tural production. Soon the fur
nacrs, railroads. and all other masIinsry
must use Coal, and here il lies, whrre the

RAIL RoAD MAITERs.-At a meeting
of the Board Of Directors of the Central
Ohio Railroad Company, in this city.
on Tuesday last, Mr. Fasset, who has
filled the Office of President Of the Com
pany for several years, resigned his
place, and II. j. Jewett, Esq. of this ci.
ty, Vice President, was chosen to fill
the vacancy. The selection is general
y considered judicious one, and gives
undoubted satisfaction to those who are
interested in the success of the road.
Mr.. Iewett will do for it all that can be
done, and we shall be mistaken if, un-
der his administration, the road does
not gain decided impetus. The posi-.
tion of Vice President was conferred
upon Mr. VIM. j. Baldwin, of Colum-
