1. All soils are benefited by underdrain-
ing, uulers the subsOil is grayelly, or porous
enough to form good drainage otitself. But
the benefit of drainage Is most apparent
when applied to soils Of claycy nature, or
having 4 sub-soi reten,iye of moisture.
Q. After drainage, ,subsoilins and thorough
pulyeriration are the chief means to be en-
ployci to secure good crops on clay Lands.
3. There is no ground 50 poor and sterile
but that some means maybe found to amelior-
ate 1t, and recuperate its wasted fertility.

8. Lime is not beneficial as mannre when
applied to stroug clays.
&. Seeding land to clover. and feeding Oh
the clover BY stock ON the ground, (sheep es-
pecially) is the cheapest aud easiest mode OF
enrichiag the soil. According to Won Thaer
il adds twenty per cent to Its fertility each
year.
:. Green crops plowed under are power

8. The productiyencss Of the land depends
greatly ON the nature OF the subsoIl. lfthat

o. Lands naturally fertile soon lose their
fertility by growing successive grain crops
on them, unless the organic elements 40.
stracted by the crops are restored to the soil
in the shape Of manuros.
10. Deep plowing is beneficial TO all soils

TA correspondent of the Annalen land.
wirthschaft states some interesting expert
ments to test the use Of salt in htteniug
swine. He selected two pairs Of barrow
hogs, weighing two hundred pounds piece,
One pair received with their daily allow
ance offood, two ounces Of salt, the other
pair similarly fed, none. In the course of
the week 1t was easily seen that the saltcd
pair had much the stronger appetite than
the Others, and after fortnight, the salt
was increased to two ounce piece. After
four months the weight Of the salted hogs
was $50 pounds piece, while that Of the
unsalted, five weeks later, reached only 800
pounds. This experiment was repeated with
almost precisely the same results. The au-
thOr feeds young pigs, according to their
age, a quarter to one ounce daily. breeding
sows very little during pregnancy. and dur
ing the heat of summer withholds il in a
great degree from all, as it induces thirst,
and liability to disease.
