Piovy Deeper.

Many farmers have great dread of
turning up little yellow sand, or hard
pan, when blowing their fields, lest its ad-
mixture with the surface soil should injure
the land and have bad effect upon the
growing crops. AS consequence, their
lands continue, where the surface soil is
shallow, in a very unproductive condition
from year to year. The roots of such crops
as incline to strike deep have no means to
supply the plants with moisture in a dry
time, and the evaporation from the surface
being much more rapid where the subsoil
is uDbrOken than where an opportunity is
given for the moisture to ascend from a
lower stratum by the disintegration of its
particles, a severe drought generally ruins
the crops. With plants whose roots do
not strike deep, this system of shallow
blowing, which so generally prevails, is
equally injudiciOus. Nothing is more COM
mon, for instance, than to see potatoes
planted beneath thin surface soil, the
seed being laid at the bottom of the fur
row upon a subsOil as hard almost as solid
rock, with no chance to obtain moisture
except from above, or to extend the roots
laterally any longer than sufficient moist
ure is furnished from the dews and summer
showers to keep up the vitality of the root
and stalk.
A potato luxuriates in good bed. The
tibrous roots of the plant are very tender
and delicate, and moisture is one of the
essential conditions of its successful culti-
walton. 1t is, therefore, useless to expect
a full remunerative crop, where the sur
face soil is only skinned over with the
pillow, merely to bed the seed tubers upon
clay or hard pan. Two or three inches
more depth of blowing than is customary
will remedy this difficulty and greatly inn
prove the future as well as the present
crops. The apprehension that the subsoil,
mingled by the pillow with that of the sur
face, will "poison the land /" and ipjure the
crop, is an old fogy chimera, as every man
may assure himself who will try the ex-

Raising Calves.

The great secret of success in raising
calves, after keeping them clean and com
Portable, is very regular and uniform feed
i. g, combined with nutritious food, and
avoiding all sudden changes in their food.
On the whole, it is best to wean them very
early, as they will then never suck the
cow again, nor themselves. Their food
may at first be new milk, then warm skim
med milk, then skinned milk with meal
intermixed, thus passing from new milk
to common food with meal, and being es-
pecially careful that all these changes
should be very gradual, and almost imper-
ceptible. Country Gentleman. .

pertinent upon few alternate rows, with
deep and shallow blowing, the present
season.
The roots of all plants follow the laws Of
their being and organization. They search
after the sustenance suitable to their
growth and condition, selling the best and
rejecting that which is unsuitable, just as
the cattle and sheep in the pastures do,
and there never need be any serious ap
prehensions that system of deeper plow-
ing, which only increases the facilities for
the roots to extend themselves and takes
nothing from the soil, will have any other
than beneficial effect upon the land, and
promote the growth and development of
every farm crop, whether its roots are OF
deep or shallow habit.-Plo~man.

charge of being connected with the forg-
