Increasing Soil.

BY deepening the cultivation Of your soil
you add To its quantity. Thus, BY having your
soil eight inches deep, where before you had 1t
only four inches, you double its capacity
somewhat as though you had two acres now
where you had only one before. Did you ever
think Of thisl Eight inches Of cultivated soil
has double the strength of four. This IS new
way Of increasing your land.-not new to our
best farmers, who understand all this-and
hence they cultivate deep-not deep at once. but
gradually, each year q little deeper, or at every
ploughing. Ploughing alone makes the soil
mellow, and has wonderful effect, even with
out manure but manure, it must be remem-
bered is the main reliance always.
In deepening your soil, judgment is required
Not too much ofthe raw subsoil must be brought
up at n time unless IL Is rich--then plough
deep. In clay soils, little ut n time is the true
theory. Cut of half an inch Of clay, more or
less, at each ploughipg. This, thrown up to
the action of the elements, will be reduced to
powder, and II at once goes to work drawing
strength from the atmosphere-clear proht,
you see il has the effect OF plaster. Then 1t is
manure in itself These heavy clay beds are
valuable beds of manure. As they are general
ly spread out with your soil, you need only to
adjust your clevis-pin to manure your ground.
But this must only be done when the super.so
Is thoroughly friable, In good cultivated order.
Too much clay brought mp will stiffen your soil; I;
and air, and heat. and rain are kept out ; and
thus, IL remains, stiff, cold. stubborn soil, on
which little or nothing can be grown. Grass is
the only thing that stands the least chance

DIFFERENT ANIMAL MASuREs.-Cows in full
milk or with calf, secretc from their feed. great
quantities of valuable substances which fatten-
ing COWS or oxen viii not withdraw from what
they eat-hence the manure Of the mich cows
is not worth nearly SO much rs that OF fatten-
ing animals. This must be evident from the OBJ.
yious fact, that out Of the milk, or what would
be milk, the entire structure OF 3-weeks old
calf Is formed. The calf continues to grow and
learns to eat the same kind OF food that the COW
does. and for several years is building up his
frame OF heavy bones all the valuable ingro,,
dicnts permanently entering into his system, OF
course come out of his feed, and would, were he
a full-grown steer, have passed into the ma.
uure. Many farmers are likely to underyalue
the important differences in the quality Of the
excrements of different classes af the same kind
Of stock. The differences which we have allud-
ell to, of course exist as well in the manure OF
other kinds of animals as in that of neat cattle.
Let us then bear In mind that keeping milk-giv-
ing aud growing animals is q great tax upon
the land, that fattening animals make rich ma
nure heaps, and that full-grown male animals
draw much less upon the soil than females bear
ing young and giving milk.

MEASUREMENT OF GRAIN BISs.-Joseph W.
Wood, Sauk Co., Wis, communicates to the
American Agriculturist the following couven'
lent method of measuring grain bins, etc. He
Us; A cubic foot is l72S-2l50.42 OF bushel
=.sO3. Three thousanths of bushel Is less
than oneffth of pint: therefore to estimate
cubic foot as eight-tenths Of bushel, gives an
erroi Of less Than one.ffth Of o pint, which, in
measuring bin Of ordinary size, would be OF
small account. by this estimate the capacity
of any cubical vessel can be readily ascertaned.
by simply multiplying the number of cubic
feet il contains BY the decimal IS: Thus. in q
bin ST long, 2 Il. wide, and n. high. sx3x6
LA cubic feet, which multiplied by 8 gives
ll5.2 bushels as the contents. The error in
this example amounts to less than half BUSH
el. BY fixing upon two dimensions OF box
or bin, the other can be calculated so that the
receptacle shall hold any required amount -
For example, bin is wanted to hold $50 bush
els Of grain. Suppose 1t be n. long. and n.
high what must be the widthl Sx6=4S, this
multiplied by .S=3s.4-that is, one foot Of the
width OF the bin will hold 3S.4 bushels, and
80 bushels divided by 3S.4 gives 6.5 OF u n.
as the required width. BY carrying out the
decimals, any required eIactness can be at

And on thy girllsh brow Is laid
The crown which happy mothers wear.
And through the years has swept blight,
Which dimmed the glory overhead
Our eyes have missed the morning light,
And, shrouded In the early night,
Our hearts have wept above their dead.
Yet, strength may come, when beauty dies.

Should light the way TO noblor lives,
And gild the path where Duty strives
For purer effort, through her tears.
