KEcLA1M1Ne AN OLD FIELD.
Dce1, PLo,cing &c


A correspondent of the East Tennesseean
writing from Laurel SPRING under the date
of May 18, says:
Mr.. SWAN Permit me to relate the fol-
lowing experiment in subsoiing, as related
to me by Mr.. Louis, who resides few
miles west of Knoxville, and spends por-
ton of his time and capital in supplying this
vicinity in goods and groceries, on easier
and better terms than we have had before.
Mr.. Louis had an old field of 25 acres, the
surface soil completely exhausted, he plow-
ed and sub-soiled twice and reached the
depth offifteen inches, and seeded in wheat
and says it now looks more vigorous, and
bids fairer for heavy yield per acre. Than
he ever had on the best portions of his well
cultivated farm. for one feel thankful to
him or any other gentleman for trying to
blot out such stains, as fold felds) in a
christian and reading community. An ex-
hausted and worn out field, with limestone
base and clay surface, ifit has depth of soil
cannot be worn out, for if the clay, which
rests upon the rock should be so feet, it
will be more productive near the bottom on
exposure than the top. l could cite you to
hundreds of cases to prove this fact with
out chemical analysis. Look at the earth
thrown from mines, wells, deep cut races,
&C., after one winters frost, it will give
you a new species of herbs of luxurious
growth This is one point in regard to the
true philosophy of deep or sub soil blowing,
and yet there is another important point
gained by deep cultivation, In an extreme
cold winter, like the past, where wheat has
been sown on shallow plowed lands it is
much winter killed for want of depth ofroot.
YESTERDAY passed through field of wheat.
sown in corn, the last plowing of the corn
was thrown hardly to the hill, and gave a
deep loose bed near the hill. Now this
wheat looks as if it had been drilled in rows
feet apart, all the centre being winter
killed, it could not get depth of root.
Yours respectfully,
CALVIN PosT.

PERPETUAL MoTIoN.-The editor of the
London Builder thinks the following in
stances come as near perpetual motion as
any one can desire: In the rotunda at
Woolwich Barracks there is, he says, a
clock, moved by machinery, which has been
going for more than forty years. He further
states that he knows a gentleman who has
had watch in his possession for more than
80 years, hermetically sealed, which there
is no means of winding, which tells the day
of the week, the hours, minutes, seconds,
months, and he believes years, and how far
you walk in the day. 1t cost $500, and
was made by q Frenchman in Paris. 1t
was left with Mr.. Oldham, of the Bank of
Ireland, for six weeks, and locked up in his
strong box, when the gentleman went into
the country, about 25 years ago, and the
watch goes well, he believes, TO this moment.

SIMPLE CURE FOR SNAKE BITE.-Mr
John Andrews, of this district, informs US
that few days since he was fishing; he had
with him small negro boy, who, mistaking
mocasin for a stick, picked it up, and was
bitten on the thumb. Mr. A. had frequently
been informed that his grandfather one of
our oldest settlers, who was great hunter,
had never failed to prevent any evil conse-
quences resulting from a snake bite, by
washing the wound in water, and at the
same time squeezing out the poison. lie,
in this case, resorted to this cure. Holding
the wounded member under water, he
washed it for some time. The cure was
complete; the thumb did not even swell.
The bite of the mocasin is as much dreaded
as that of the rattlesnake. This statement
may be relied on. Mr. Andrews IS a man Of
character.-Dar!ington Flag.

SUMNER LUxURIEs.-The New York
Daily News says that, after the Fourth of
July, no frequenter of the fashionable
thoroughfares of that city can fail to notice
the sudden falling off on the promenade.
Four-fifths of the fashionables at least,
disappear from the sidewalks. Yet the
News asserts that not ten thousand people
in the city, which contains 100000 inhabi-
tants, 90, for any length of time into the
country, in the summer season. They do
not 60 to the Springs, nor to the Seashore,
nor to the Mountains. What then becomes
of the four-fi;hs who have mysteriously
disappeared? According to the News,
nine-tenths Of them pretend to 60 into the
country, shut the front doors and blinds,
cut off the gas and the water, and 60
into the back-rooms and the attics, to
keep up appearances

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Editor Southern CGltirator Please
| give the cheapest mode of renovating poor
sandy soil by turning under green crops, in
your next No, for the information of your
subscribers that cultivate poor sandy land,
How would the following process do for
improvement, in the absence of manures,
such as guano, poudrctte. &C., to be ap-
piled, viz: on stubble land, or land that has
lain idle this year! To sow and turn un-
der peas with the green vegetable matter
that is growing upon it in tho fall sowing
it down with wheat for next years crop.
Or sowing it down with rye, to be turned
under next spring for planting corn crop.
Will such a course, aided by such manure
as can be raised ON q small farm, and a re-
gular rotation of corn, wheat aud peas, i'm
prove the soil and make it productive
l find by experience that scattering pine
straw, leaves, &C., over the land and burn
ing it off previous to sowing wheat, or plant
ing corn, has very marked effect in i'm
proving the crop, and, when conveniently
obtained, to haul into the field, will paw we'll
on light sandy soils. My method for wheat
is to scatter in the morning as much as can
be plowed in the next day. After sunset
burn it off, it becomes cold by morning,
and the dew damps it sufficiently to stick
The ashes to the ground and prevent the
wind from blowing them away next day
while being plowed in. And for corn /
open deep furrow, and fill it full from end
to end, burn off and turn two burrows on
the ashes as soon as they become cool en-
ough for horse to walk, then either drill
or check, planting the corn on the ashes,
thus coveredup. In the absence Of manure
this is good method on light snSdy soils.
Would such soils be benefited by subsoil-
ing! Would portions of sandy soils around
swamps and in hollows that are of close,
loamy quality, with subsoil inclining to
clay, and that sometimes, or in some places
seems to be dead and unproductive, be i'm
proved by subsoiling? Would portions of
low sandy land, inclining to be moist, with
Tin some spots) large portions of the oxide
of iron, be benefited by subsoilng the
application of lime or gypsum; and what
quantity per acre? Would any of the
above qualities of land be benefited by
sowing down with grass and pastured p
And what kind would suit the different soils

THE course indicated by our subscriber,
viz: manuring and deepening the soil, lies
at the bottom of all agricultural improve
ment, and if he follows out faithfully the
different plans he suggests he cannot fail
to be remunerated by vast increase of
product from his lands. There are few, if
any, land which are not benefited by sub
soiling-plaster or gypsum is an excellent
top dressing for growing crops of Peas,
Clover, &C., and lime aids greatly in de-
composing green manures and preparing
them to feed other pants.-ED.

There is no greater error in the manage
ment of children than that of giving them
animal diet very early. BY persevering in
the use of an over stimulating diet, the di-
gestive organs become irritated, and the
various secretions, Immediately connected
with, and necessary to digestion, are dimin-
ished, especially the hillary secretion and
constipation of the bowels, and congestion
of the abdominal circulation, succeed
Children so fed become. moreover, very liza

mentioned to us that, in families where chill
dren lived on simple diet, if they were sez-
ed with measles, whooping cough, mumps,
and similar diseases, he never called but
once, as he knew there was no danger but
that in families where all opposite course
was pursued, he always expected trouble.

DEVASTATION BY A WATER SpoUT-The
Quebec Journal contains thrilling de-
scription of the progress of a water spout
which devasted the parish of St. Eleazor,
on the 18th ult., Beauce county. The
information is furnished by the priest of the
parish, who states that the first warning the
people had was noise, like that of the sea
in storm, proceeding from a large and
dark cloud overhanging the place. Soon
the cloud seemed to burst, letting fall
towards the earth long train, somewhat
in the shape of funnel, with the small end
turned downwards. 1t revolved rapidly,
kissing like escaping steam, and swinging
to and fro, and initiating the contortions of
snake. When the small end reached the
ground, it lifted and carried away in its
revolving impetus whatever it came in
contact with. Boards, TIMBER stones and
portions of houses were whirled in the air
and thrown at a distance with fearful
report. Several houses were thus raized to
the ground. One horse and three COWS
were drawn by the power ofsuction to the
water-spout, and after being raised high in
the air were let gradually down; they
escaped uninjured and were only covered
with mud. Five carts were carried to a
great height and thrown across some fields
into the wood, being smashed by the fall.
Large trees, such as naples, were uprooted
and removed distance Of five acres. This
phenomenon, although disastrous and awful,
must, however, have been sublime
sight.
