Benefits Of Hoeins.

Keeping down the weeds is not the only
end Of hoeing Exterminating them, SO that
they may not interfere with useful plants, or
80 to seed, is highly important, but this is
not the whole of the chapter. We refer now
to the great benefit arising from a thorough
pulyerization Of the soil Hard, unbroken
ground, though free from, weeds, is not in a
condition to receive sensible benefits from
the atmosphere. The dews Of night cannot
penetrate it, and when SINNER rains fall, they
only dash against the surface and run off as
from . rock.

Flowing.

All crops, even the grass crops, depend
greatly upon the manner in which this work
is done. Deep blowing is an antidote against
drought. A light porous soil admits the air
the air is loaded with moisture, penetrates
the light soil until it gets down where it is
cool, and there the moisture is condensed,
taken up by the light particles Of earth, and
held in reserve for the roots Of the plants
So if you pillow deep and pulverize well, there
is perpetual watering going on, be the sur
face ever so dry. This is the reason the soil
in our valley will stand a drought so we'll

The Davenport Gazetse says, that singu-
lar disease has attacked the cattle in, that
vicinity, chiefly the young ones, which had
been fed on June hay. Six yearlings, some
of them very valuable, had died. The first
symptoms Of the disease were lameness and
swelling of the hind quarters. 1t generally
proved fatal in about twenty-four hours, re-
sisting all medical treatment -

Sprouts around Trees.

Allow no suckers or sprouts to issue from
the roots Of your fruit trees; cut them all
even with the surface, and arrest every new
development as soon as it appears. Every
particle Of new wood from this point denim
ishes the vital force of the system, without
yielding any thing valuable in return. Pear
trees are more seriously injured by a neglect
of this duty, than other trees, as they are
more delicate and less hardy.
