Every practical farmer has noticed the diff

ference has been more especially observable
upon heavy lands with clayey subsoiI.

however highly manured, it has been found
impossible TO produce good crops.
In England, draining has come TO be con

all productive farming. Sterile and worthless
lands have in this way been brought into use.

LEACHED ASHES on wHEAT.

LEACHED ASHES on WHEAT.
Whatever difference Of opinion there may
be respecting the particular ingredients to
which the fertilIzing power OF leached ashes
are owing, nearly all agree that they are a
valuable manure for the wheat crop And as
there are, in different parts of the country,
old asheries from whence old leached ashes
can be obtained at a mere nominal price, we
are surprised that they are not more exten.
siyeiy used than they are The good effects
Of 100 to 300 bushels Of old leached ashes per
acre are most decided on all light wheat soils,
and are visible often for years after their ap-
rllcation. This prolonged benefit is probably
derived from the lime, OF which the leached
ashes contain some 50per cent. Itis not im !.
possible, however, that leached ashes contain
the double salt Of siicate Of alumna aud so.
da, which Prot. Way found was the real agent
ot soils ln retaining ammonia and other fer
tilizers;and that therefore. by adding leac he'd
ashes. we add ammonia. or al least, the me ans
Of obtainlng it from the atmosphere in the
most available form for the wheat plants, aud
that II is This alkali that 80 much benefits the
crop, and not the potash aud soda, which
may be left undissOlyed from the ashes. II
this is the case, the older the leached ashes
are the better;--the more they have been ex.
posed to the rain and the air, the more am
monia will they contain, and the more good
will they do to the wheat crop. And il would
Indicate that on all our wheat soils leached
ashes would do more good than the unleached
ashes, from the fact that ammonia is 50 much
more necessary as a manure for wheat than
the akalies. potash and soda, which are wash
I'd out in teaching.
These views. however, are at present some

are necessary 10 confirm Of relate them; yet
the fact that lesched ashes are first rate

not decidedly account for their good effect;

PAY OF VOLUNTKE Rs.

That the 1aborcr is worthy Of his hire
seems to be well understood by Congress.
The pay Of q private soldier in the army
Of the Union amounts now to half a dol
lar per day in addition to Ills board, cloth
ing and medical attend ance, beside tue
500 premium to be paid at the end Of the
war or expiration Of his term Of enlistment,
and the 100 acres Of bounty land which
has always heretofore been granted to the
soldiers Of the Republic. The pay Of pri-
Yates in the regular army las heretofore
been $11 per month without premium or
bounty lands. The pay Of the volunteers
is now raised to SIS per month exclusive
Of the gratuities already mentioned. It is
safe to say that every soldier Of regular
and economical habits can so through the
year without expending more than ten
dollars of his paY. In other words he
can lay up $40 per year, or send thai
amount home to his family or friends, re
ceiving, bis 500 premium and his land
warrant, when he leaves the service as SO
much clear gain. Indeed, many soldiers
Of the regular army not only save the
whole of their pay, but they frequently
keep a company fund of $500 to $1,000
supported by contributions OF five or te1
dollars from each man, saved out of .thei1
