An experiment in Draining.

When we witness the change of sterile
soil into fertile one through the influence
of draining, it is conclusive evidence of the
vulue of labor so applied. Such has recent
ly come under our notice, and we shall recall
it for our readers. 1t not unfrequently hap
pens in hilly or gently undulatlng districts,
that intervales and damp springy soils abound,
requiring draining before it can be bror ght
into profitable cultivation. The instance in
question, was field of fair surface, quite free
from stone, but receiving from more elevated
land continual supply of clear, cold, soft
spring water, which ran over nearly the whole
surface. The owner, faithless of reclaiming
the lot, was yet desirous of collecting the
water to supply reservoir for cattle. This
was mainly accomplished by cutting drain
across the slope of land near the upper side
of the field, for about hundred rods in length
which did so much for draining the surface
that other bitches were cut completing the
work. The drains were finished with the flat
stone usual in such districts, carefully laid
and covered with good coat of straw, before
replacing the dirt. Now of the change pro-
duced.
A crop never grew upon this lot from the
Water grasses and weeds were the only pre-.
duct; but since draining it has produced an.
nually over two tons of good hay per acre
without any manure. The appearance of the
soil is wholly changed, from a tenacious blus
clay, adhering to the boots like tart has
become a clear black loan just such a soil as
always produces renumerative crops to the
farmer Country Gentleman.

Soil for Pears.

"Will you inform me, through the Cultiva-
tor, which is the best location for the pears?-
a stiG clay soil lying high and exposed to the
wind, subsoil clay and limestone gravel, or a
loamy second bottom, with similar subsoil
protected on all sides from the winds?"-
II. A. w.
ANswER.-Of the two locations the latter
will prove the best for pears both standard
and dwarf, provided the soil is not of the black
or mucky kind, and has. got depth without
liability to water soaking.
Pears love deep clayey loan, free from
standing water, not too dry nor so compact as
to prevent the access of air and moisture. The
stiff clay soil described above is probably too
stiff, and lacking in fertility and depth, other
wise the trees would grow well on it; but
then the exposure to wind would prove inju-
rious to the trees, as we'll as destructive to
much of the fruit.-B. in Ohio Cultiuator.

THE IRISH POTATO.

We find the following clever parody on
Woodworths celebrated "Old Oaken
Bucket" in the last received (old)--Spirit
Of the Times:
How sweet to the taste is the Irish potato,
As memory awakens thought of the plant,
Its dark verdant vine-top and beautiful BIOS
som,
In pleasing transition my memory haunt,
Aye! thought of the root in profusion once
growing,
On the broad sunny hill-slope adjoining the
mill,
At the homestead, how many we raised there's
no knowing,
For some were but small ones and .fe,U in
the hill.
The .mealy potato, the Irish potato,
The thin skinned potato that grew on
the hill,
That delectable plant would praise while I'm
able,
For often at noon when returned from the
field,
found it superior to all on the table,
The best favored edible nature could yield
With what eager appetite, sharpened by labor,
piled knife and fork with a hearty good
WILL
Alas there are none of the old fashioned
flavor,
None like the "real Simons" that grew on
the hill.
The mealy potato, the Irish potato,
The thin skinned potato that grew on the
hill.
How prime from the full-heaped dish to re-
ceive it,
As poised on my fork it ascends to my
mouth;
No appeal to the palate could tempt me to
leave it,
Though affected by "rot" or long summers
/ drouth.
And now far removed from that loved situation,
Where l used to partake of the root to my
fill;
Fancy fain would revert to my fathers plan
tation
And sigh for the "kidneys" that grew on
the hill.
The mealy potato, the Irish potato,
The thin skinned potato that grew on
the hill.

The WOMAN WHO LIVED WITHOUT
FooD.-Fort Ed,cara, March 23.-Some
three weeks since q committee of six
were appointed to watch Mrs. Hayes, of
Horizon, Warren County, the woman
who had pretended to live without parta-
king of food for the last two years.
The result of the investigation is that she
has managed the whole thing through de-
ception. Crackers and meat were found
concealed on her person.-zroy Wing.
This case was probably not all decep-
tion in its origin. The woman was in q
state of disease, in which the feeble flame
Of life was kept alive by the smallest
nourishment. But such condition must
have ended in death. She became the
wonder Ct the village; and by and by the
story spread. and curiosity brought to the
place hundreds of visitors. The neigh
bors and strangers all contributed to the
support of the suffering family; and what
had commenced innoeently enough end
ed in imposture.-A6amy Argus and 1t.

MY LAST CIGAR.

And looked down in the sea;

Were curling gracefully.

Fast drawing towards the end:

But still the fame crept slowly on

I've seen the land of all loved
Fade in the distance dim:

Where once proud hope had been;
But I've never knowna sorrow
Which could with that compare
When off the blue Canaries

Tight VS. Open Barns.

Some years ago there was considerable CON
troversy on the comparative advantages o.
tight and open siding for barns. The follow
ing is recent statement of one side of the
case, from Mr.. Powers of Pi.tsfeld, Mass, il
the N: E. Farmer. He says: IL find by expert
ence, that hay can be put into tight barr
much greener, and will keep much better
than it will in loose boarded barn, the stock
will eat less hay, and look better and do bet
ter, and they are better every way, ifit be prop
erly ventilated, than they possibly can be il
the old fashioned loose bOard-barn.
