Working the Different Soils.

crops throughout the locality. Such soils are
of gravelly nature-commonl dark loan
But keep plow out of yellow soil generally,
when wet, even when sandy Time must be
given to yellow soil to drain and dry As to
clay it is simply destructive to plow it when
wet. 1t is making brick of.it 1t is lump
of grease when wet. And the hurt it receives
at one plowing will always last for years, not
withstanding the mellowing influence of win
ter. Frost will help, but not cure; it takes
many years to do that. We have had ample
demonstration of this. The ground will be
"hubby and the axe and FOUNDER will be of
little avail. So will the roller and harrow

the Constitutional Amendment recently passed
by Congress, abolishing slavery throughout the
Union. These $4,000 persons are thus fully
committed to the Union and to perpetuate
freedom in the State-committed to the very
things and nearly all the things the nation
wants, and they ask the nation for recognition
and assistance to make this committal. We
have rejected and spurned them; we do our
utmost to disorganize and disperse them; we
in fact say to the white man, "You are worth.
less or worse. We will hever help you nor be
helped by you." "
'1 To the blacks we soy, this cup of liberty
which these your old masters held to your lips,
we will dash from you and leave you to the
chances Of gathering the spilled and scattered
contents in some vague and underlined way.
When, where and how this course, discourag-
ing aud paralysins both 70 the whites and
blacks, has any practical relations with the
Union I have so far been unable to perceive.
If, on the contrary, we recognize and sustain
the new government of Louisiana; the con-
verse of all this is made true, encourage the
hearts and nerve the arms of $4,000 to adhere
to their work and argue for it, and proselyte
for it, and fight for it and feed it, and grow it,
andripenit, to complete success. The colored
man, too, in seeing all united for him, is in
spired with vigilance and energy in laboring
to the same end Grant that he desires the
elective franchise Will he not attain it soon

ward it than by running backward over them.

ter Again, if we reject Louisiana we also
reject one vote in favor of the proposed
amendment to the National Constitution. To
meet this proposition it has been argued that
no more than three-fourths of these States
which have not attempted secession are neces.
sary to the valid ratification of the amend
ment l do not commit myself against this
further than to say that such ratification
would be questionable, and sure to be persist

repeat the question, can Louisiana be
brought into her proper practical relations
with the Union sooner by preserving or by de-
stroying her new State Government2 What
has been said of Louisiana will apply to other
States, and yet so great pecularities pertain
to each State, and such important and sudden
changes occur in the same State, and withal

The true way for Eastern pig feeders, who
do not wish to pen up their swine, is to have
their pens communicate with the orchard-
Don't ring the pigs, but feed well, and just
let them root as they will This course will
manure your orchard and you are sure of a
good crop of appleA In hot weather the
shade is grateful to the swine besides the
great benefit to future crops, by having all the

soon as it falls have followed this course
with swine and orchard for twenty five years,
and but one year failed in having an abund-
anee Of fruit If the orchard becomes too
weedy, plow and plant with early potatoes, or
some crop which natures early. Sow with
small grain next spring, seeding with clover
and orchard grass, harvesting grain by turn
ing in pigs; and If the pigs are fattened by
liberal feeding, without confinement in close
pen, the consumer will find it an improve
ment in the quality and favor of his pork,

KEEP s7ocK OFF MEADows--Many mead
ows are seriously injured by stock in the
spring months, They are permitted to run
uron them when the frost is leaving the
ground, which is soft and easily cut BY the
hoofs of horses and cattle. The scanty pick
ing they get will not begin to compensate for
the damage they cause the meadows. When
the ground is soft, sit always is in the, spring.,
stock should be carefully. excluded. 1t is al
so very bad policy to pasture meadows. in the
fall. Every spring it is generally eaten off,
and the ground and roots are left cold and
naked. If the growth, after cutting the grass,
has been left. it would have acted as mulch
