drawing plow exactly alike-so that his plow
will readily take the precise right depth and
width of furrow and hold easily in it, and so
that he can perfectly and instantly control, or
vary the bias of the plow, to meet the peculiar
lay Of the land anywhere, and bring the furrow-
slice over handsomely into its place. and pre-

you will do well to plow the fiat sod furrow,
using plow of sufficient strength and capacity
for team of four horses, or oxen, when re-
quired, and carrying depth of furrow of eight
TO ten inches in good style.

SOP AND SUBsoIL PLowING.-This kind of
plowing, as the accompanying cut indicates,
and as you are doubtless, already aware re-
quires two plows upon one beam. The forward
or skim plow should take depth of not more
than two or three inches, dropping the sod ac-
curately into the channel, grass side down; and
the rear plow should lift the remaining depth
or under SOIL raising it high, and laying it hand
somely over the sod or skim furrow-slce and
well matched up to the previous furrow, break
ing the soil well in the act and leaving clean
channel behind for the reception of the next
burrows. When a well-constructed plow for
this style of work is accurately adjusted as to
the line of draught, and held so as to cut uni
form width and depth, and turn up the rear
furrow-slice to meet fully the preceding one, as
represented in the cut, the upturned soil is lain
over in a remarkably light and pulverized condi-

LAPpED FURRow SOD PLowING.-The an
nexed cut shows you the proper movement and
position of the tapped furrow. This is style
of plowing much practiced in Great Britain,
and in some sections of our country where the
soil is stiff clay. AS the cut shows you. there
is little air space, or drain, under each forrow-
Slice and the projecting angles of the surface
of the plowcd land present the stiff clay soil
favorably to the action of the harrow or other
surface-working instrument, for the raising of
q fine tilth or mellow seed-bed. To execute
this mode of plowng in perfect style, the fur
row slices must not be cut more than one third
wider than they are deep, for if they are, they
will not stand at a steep enough inclination, or

ton, making a very level and timely cracked and
opened seed-bed or tilth, superior to what can
be done with any other implement yet intro
duced, and indeed superior to what the most
accomplished spokesman could do in grass land
by hand labor For the deep breaking-up of
sod land, would recommend you to employ the
sod and subsoil style of plowing, on all such of
nit of the use of the double plow. Deep plow-
ing is done with lighter draught to the team by
this mode than by any other, because you can
pillow quite a narrow furrow in proportion to
dcpth-say ten inches deep by eleven or twelve
inches wide, while by other modes you would
be obliged to carry at least from q third to a
half more width than depth to turn the furrow
slowly.

You ask about kids of fplowing. This short
inquiry might well demand an entire commu-
nication for reply, and having devoted con-
siderable thought and experience TO the science
and practice of the thing | could give you a
pretty good dissertation upon it; but ! must

many words to describe inteligibly. Let me
observe in passing, that the mould-board Of
the plow is a perfect and beautiful mathemati-
cal problem, and when understood and fabrica-
ted accordingly, it is capable in the hands of
skillul plowman, of about as accurate plowing
as these cuts represent; and furthermore, tn /,

THE FALL OF FORT SUMTER.

Saturday, the 18th of April, 1861, marks the
most momentous day in our history. On that
day Fort Sumter, strong national fortress in
Charleston harbor, surrendered to a rebel force
of 1000 that had long besieged it, after Wig
orous bombardment of thirty-three hours,
bravely met and replied to by Major Anderson
and his little garrison of seventy-six men. That
event gives direction to the whole future cur
rent of affairs and fixes the future destiny of
the nation beyond recall. 1t leaves no option
to the government or the people of the United
States but the vigorous prosecution of war un-
til the southern rebellion is overthrow and the
Union restored to its integrity and loyalty, or
the fact is settled that the recusant States can
achieve and maintain their independence. The
smoke of the first battle having cleared away,
let us take compact view of events up TO the
present moment.

rather at an angle of forty. five degrees, which
is the best inclination. The usual proportions
of furrow-sliee among finished plowmen are
6 and 10 inches. For new country,
where the land has not yet become cleared OF
distractions nor its surface much smoothed,
this is difficult style of plowing to execute
well, and indeed it is better adapted to an old
seven inches deep, the sod and subsoil style
of plowing is preferable even in clay land, being
easier of good execution, lighter in draught
and requiring less width of slice than even the
Tapped STYLE and therefore making finer tilth
of the clay.

moving among the tents. As these guns
are good for eight hundred yards, it may
naturally be inferred that their IRE was, 70
say the least, PFOvOkingly TsxatiOus to the
rebels. As il to taunt them into replying,
the boys kept the balls Whaling about
