Deep Tillage.
NJ aine Farmer,

A deep and thorough tillage is con.
ducive to fruitfulness in crops; yet IL
is never safe to turn up too large por.
ton of the .ubsoil at once. The work
Of deepening the vegetable stratum Of
matsois should be consumed gradually;
a little of the substratum only being
brought up at time,-say from half to
third Of an inch at each successive
plowing. and so on till the soil has been
stirred and improved to the depth re.
quired. Manure should be applied lib
orally. and lime sowed every time
fresh layer is brought TO the surface
The fall is perhaps, the kmost favorable
season for this operation. as the soil will
then experience the greatest benefit from
the neutralzing effect of the calcareous
matter applied, and also from the pull
scrulent and disintegrating influences Of
the winter's frost
The quantity of lime required in'this
process Of ameioraton will be best de.
Iermned by a chemical examination Of
the subsoil in connection with that Of
the surface earth. Ii of calcareous ma.
turc, very little lime will be required,
and perhaps none; but if this principle
lime) be present in only small quanti-
ties, 1t should be supplied, and caustic
lime is the best, article that can be used,
though wood-as es, in liberal quantities.
produce very sslutary effects.

exhaust this coat of natural manure, but We
do not exhaust the soil--we reduce it to a
more normal condition. Instead of censur-
ing the farmers OF new country for avail
ing themselves Of the elements Of fertility
accumulated in the soil, we think they acted
well and wisely in converting them into
crops which would command the ready cash
In some cases. as Mr.. JoHN.ToN says, they
may have wasted the money so obtained; but
as d rule it has been expended in improving
the country-in fencing the land, i'll build
ing houses and barns, in digging canals and
constructing railroads. Churches, school
houses, academies, and colleges, all represent
money dug from the soil An indolent, ie
norant, unenterprising race of farmers would
have let this wealth lie dormant in the soil
We can not but think it was well to avail
ourselves of the food of plants lying dormant
in the soil. We have now advantages for
cultivating the soil which the early settlers
did not enjoy. The soil is not az rich-the
natural manure has been perhaps exhausted.
and we must now add manure to the soil if
we would grow rs good crops rs formerly-
Onr agriculture is in transition state.
Farmers may not readily adapt themselves to
their altered circumstar ces. Their crops
may have been sadly deficient for a few years;
but they are now beginning to farm better
to underdrain, keep more and better stock.
make more and better manure,-and in a
lew years, if we are not much mistaken, we
shall witness very great and general improve

Beard, of the Nashua Telegraph thinks
Es is about the most cowardly way of
going to bed that we ever heard tell Of.
Our advice ,s-don't hang round the

lacing, but go to your cold room, with
yonr clothes all on, all standing as the
s.iors say-if there isa pane or two of
glass broken out, so much the better

where you can lay your hand on it in the
dark-draw on your night shirt-(of

is just as good for them as for any body

CULTIVATE SEVERAL CRoPs. Poll
ticsl economists point us to division of
labor as a means of attaining the highest
results from labor. This is particularly
true as applied to all manufacturing
interests, anl with considerable force to
agricultural pursuits. 1t should be
carried out in all the operations of the
farm 50 far as practicable; but it does not
hold good to its Ultimate extent. Who
will say that in any one neisf borhood
farmer A snoull rise hogs, farmer b
cattle, farmer c root crops, and farmer
d the cereals; then as G or ID want beef
or pork, or cheese. they must % to A
and b and give them in exchange their
vegetables and grain. We all know
that would not work. whatever the theor
lists may say about it. No farmer should
depend upon any single branch Of agri-
culture. The failure of that single branch
involves him in ruin; whereas, were his
pursuits diversified, he could fall back
upon his reserves.

THIS is n good time to 90 among 70,

THIS is n good time to 90 among your
young fruit trees and pick off all the
worm nests, which appear like small
bunches Of dried leaves sticking to the
limbs; in these are eggs layed to be
hatched for next seasons operations; 40
by carefully removing them now, much
mischief will be averted, and your trees
saved from the ravages Of this worm
nuisance. These worm nests should
always be Turned.
