Deep Cultivation

AGsop narates the following fable A
husbandman dying was DESTROYS that. his
two sons should continue his business.
He called them to his bed side and thus
addressed them: "My farm and it's
treasure l bequeath jointly to you as
your only patrimony. l charge you
never to sell it, for somewhere In the
ground, within foot of the surface,
there are treasures buried" The sons
concluded that he talked of money
which was hidden there so after their
fathers death, with unwearied dill
gence they carefully dug over every
inch of the farm. The treasure they ex-
pected to find was not there, but the
ground being well stirred and loosened,
brought forth so bountitully that it prov
ed real treasure. Few farmers are
aware that underneath their visible
acres lie others equally valuable. The
man who does not improve his property
to its utmost capacity, is slothful in a
moral sense, if not in physical: That
the products and profits of the best
American farms can be doubled by
deep cultivation, judicious rotation and
high manuring, is unquestionable. Ii
the best American farms can thus be in
creased in profit, how much greater the
on the thousands of poor
acres. a little farm well titled is both
more pleasant and profitable than a
great farm carelessly run over. Labor
and industry well applied to agriculture
seldom fail of reward.

The Day After the Great Battle.

- nv 10Y AASCI tAC UICdG 0stttkGs
A correspondent of the London zsze-
graph under date of June 18th, 1859,
who visited the battle ground the day
after the great battle of Solferino, des-
cribes the piles of dead and their ap.
pearance as follows:-
"The plain of Guidizzolo is really hor-
rible to look upon. Even SO late as yes-
terday the dead were not all buried
They were to be seen in groups of TWEEN.
ty and thirty, huddled together in one
spot, where shell had exploded, or the
Chasseurs d'Afrique had passed. All
still maintained the attitude in which
death had struck them down.
Here was one with uplifted arm to
ward off the blow which split open his
skull, and splaShed his brains far and
near. Close by was another, with his
hand upon his breast shivered and rent
by the grape. Another seemed to be
smiling, as if in mookery of the grim
warriors approach. Some were lying
upon their backs, with faces turned to-
wards heaven, and prayers seemed to
hnger upon their lips.
Further on, there was a Hungarian
who had thrust his clothes into ghast-
ly wound near the heart. At his left
was Tyrolese, with the unused cat.
ridge between his teeth.
To the right,a Croat has his head cut
off by ball, and the head was by his
side, with its horrible eyes, glaring and
leering, as it seemed, at the dismem-
bered body.
Two young lads, of certainly not more
than sixteen, were lying in each others
arms. Death had surprised them in
that attitude, or perhaps, feeling them
selves about to die, they had chung to-
gether in last embrace, and fallen thus
never to rise again. Upon the body of
Bohemian officer, we noticed a dog
waiting, apparently, for his master to
getup! We had not the heart to call
off the faithful animal by word or ges-
ture, for..we felt sure God would reward
the devotion of this poor dumb creature,
so touchingly shown amidst the carnage,
which man had waged against his fell
low man. ass
On every side it was the same. Death
in his most horrible and CHASTITY form,
glared at us, no matter where we gazed.
Enough, however, on this fad theme.''
The Kenosha telegraph and tribune. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1859-1860, 1859-07-28
The Times on the Battle.

We take from the London Times of
the 4th, the following capital presenta-
ton of the spirit which distinguished
the two camps at Solferino:
"To-day the battle of Solferino takes
its place in history in the place in which
it will be known for evermore. 1t was
agreatand culinary battle, fercely con-
tested by nerly 100000 men, from sun
rise to sunset of summer day, and it
was battle in which the Austrians
were defeated, but not broken, by an
enemy inferior in numbers but superior
in intelligence and arms. While the
mind of Europe is still excited by the
details of this mighty carnage, and is
growing familiar with the events of the
battle, it is time for us to point the NOR
al Of the catastrophe. Why did the
Austrians lose this great battle? Why
have they lost every battle that has been
fought in this war? 1t is not that they
are less brave than the French. In this
very engagement, according to the Off
cial accounts of each army, the Aus
TRANS killed and wounded 10000 Frech-
men, with loss to themselves Of but
5000 killed and wounded. There could
have been no flight when the numbers
stand thus at the end of the day. Their
rifemen hit 72O French officers, where
of 100 were shot dead, while the French
succeeded in killing and wounding only
230 of the Austrian officers. They Ger
tainly are not inferior to the French in
disciplin. Their "a sinertCe is magnifi-
cent, and they retreat invariably with
bold, steady front to the foe. Why is
it, then, that they who lose so valiantly
never win? Because, unfortunately for
them, present knowledge is present
power and their knowledge is not of the
present, but of the past. They are a
stagnating responsibility. They are
governed and directed by old rules, old
men, and old routine. They have an
enemy who does not care ce1atinae for
antiquity, and is not above taking the
most irregular methods to win victory.
The French opposed artificial to the
Austrian natural advantage, but not so
as to equalize the two armies in the rife.
There was another point however, in
which the two nations were equal
The Austrian mountaineers do not use
cannon in their Sunday games. Here
France went abroed, and Austria
marched au pas. The consequences
have been obvious enough. The battle
of Selferino has been won by the supe-
,ior,ty Of the French artillery. The
shells from the French rifed cannon
fell at distances whence the old guns
could not reply. Every reader can
work out the result. The enemy's ar
tillery was silenced befoIe it could
comd within effective distance. Mans
thews and flesh are to-day as they were
thousand years ago, but machinery is
not thus immutable. Mere pluck and
courage, and standing still in squares,
and coming forward in lines, is of no
use if there is an engine two miles off
which will NOW down your line and
reap death harvest in your squares be-
fore you can roach your living enemy.
All that is left in such case to gen
tleman of the old school is to die with
dignity and constancy, scorning if he
should so please, with his last breath,
the foe that seeks victory by such pie
bian and irregular means"

ed in the ordinary way. The only secret
in having apples abundant every year, is
in keeping the trees clean and feeding
them. recently read an account OF an
apple tree standing near a house in

bore large crop of early apples in al
ternate years yielding nothing in the in,
terval. BY way of experimenting, the
green sward was broken up, and the
yard MANFRED and planted as garden.
TO the great disappointment Of all the
skeptics in the region, the old tree
changed its habits, and bore very full
crops two years in succession. The
yard was seeded down and it relapsed,
but continued to bear in the years which
would have been barren in the old Or
