Proper Depth for Flowing.

All crops grown on land of tie same quality
do not require an equal depth of plewing If
sod ground be turned for corn, it should only be
plowed deep enough to get a rich warm, mellow
seed bed. The subsoil should not be thrown to
the surface to plant the corn in. But subsoil
plowing may be resorted to with profit, for that
pulverzcs the subsoil deep, admitting air and
moisture, but does not bring it to the top, or mix
it with the surface mould. If Spring grain is to
follow the corn, the next plowing should be
deeper than the first one,-deep enough to bring
to the surface the decayed sod, and an inch Of
the subsoil to mix with it. These make fresh,
fertile seed bed for the Spring grain. If W heat
succeeds the Spring grain, the plowing for it
should be deep and thorough. No matter how
deep That is the opportunity to mingle the
subsoil and top soil, and permanently deepen the
seed-bed. The latter part of summer and the
early autumn is the time of year when the land
is most benefited by deep plowing, and of all
grain crops, wheat perhaps, demands the deepest
preparation of the soil. And this deep plowing
for wheat brings soil to the surface that is fresh
for the crop to start in. The grass seed will be
sown in this; it will become a turf, grow dark in
color, and when the field is ready to break up
again, this top soil will have become rich mould.
This is the proper method of plowing, with the
object of gradually deepening our SOIL by ex-
posing it to the action of the air. light plants and

Age of Trees for Planting.

This depends so much upon the views of plan
ters that the nurseryman cannot always control
the period at which he shall clear block oftrees.
Peaches should always be removed at one year
from the bud Plums and dwarf pears will be
ready to 90 off at two years from the bud or graft;
so with apples and cherries. But many persons;
purchasers and sellers, prefer large trees and
they recommend that the trees should remain,
one, two or even three years longer In the nur-
sery Others, a new school of fplanters, prefer to
set out the maiden tree, in most of the species
above named, except some very teebly growing
varieties, that will scarcely have attained sufficient
size to risk in the orchard. The nurseryinan
should beware of keeping his trees too long on
his hands; they become Improbable stock and
are sure to require much more labor in the dig
ging and handling. The purchaser is his own
master, and his taste and wishes must be consul
ted; if he wants large trees by all means, let him
be indulged; he will have to pay in proportion,
he will have more wood for his money, more
weight to carry, or more transportation to pay
for, more labor in planting, and vastly increased
risk of the life of his trees; but let him be ndul
ged with his FIVE year old trees, while his neigh
Dor, for smaller sum invested with less freight,
less wood less labor. and infinitely less risk, will
plant his maiden trees and FIVE years hence will
market more fruit.
The risk of transplanting large or old trees from
the nursery, may be greatly diminished, and their
value viii be vastly enhanced. BY judicious root

Thorough Culture.

In Europe, subsoiling and trenching are largely
engaged in. Why is this )? 1t is so from neces-
sity Land is cultivated in parcels of but few
acres to man, and much is to be gotten from it,
and this much is depended upon, and hardly ever
meets with disappointment Why not meet
with disappointment Simply because thorough.
tillage is the rule-the necessity. 1t is not so
here; and here it is where we often meet with
failure.
A deeply cultivated soil has advantages which
no other soil has--and they are important ad-
vsntages. Deep culture brings the moisture up
from the great fountain (the under soiD which is
always moist. 1t does it invariably by capillary
attraction; but only when the upper soil is de-
prived of its moisture When this is wet, the
moisture invariably finds its way down. not by
capillary attraction, but by its own weight-and
it passes off except what is wanted: that is re-
tanned by the attraction of the soil, and is no
more than is needed for the benefit of the land
and the crop to be grown upon it.
The deeper the soil is pulverized, the more
moisture in drouth) will be brought up, and
the more readily will the superabundance of rain
disappear. Such soil can never be made wet,

advantages is still taken of the original subsoil,
which underlies the ordinary cultivated ground.
This is brought up from below, where there is
good depth of it, as would be on our prairie lands
and made use Of One of our greatest polti-
clans, who is also good farmer says the best
farming he ever saw was in Belgium, where
much of the land is trenched to the depth of
three feet-and the results are such as warrant
the outlay of the labor. He says the rich men
of our country can afford to farm on the surface;
but the poor man cannot. Why not? Because
there is more advantage even here in this coun-
try to farm thoroughly, than to do the thing as
it is generally done.
What We have said are not new facts, save to
they are facts that should be kept in view con-
stantly; for this is what the farmer must keep
before him perpetually if he would do it. The
temptation We know is great in the West to large
farms; it is almost impossible to take but few
acres and work them in thoroughly scientific
manner Yet it would pay-perhaps less so than
in the older portions of the country, in Europe
but still pay. 1t might be check to ambi-
tion. But is this a harm? Certainly not, if
there is no loss.
More. Deep tillage certainly makes bed for
the roots that penetrate. They will feel tho
uuickened advantage and respond at once and
through the whole season. The soil once
thoroughly stirred (to great depth) it will re-
main in that condition, more or less, for great
length of time passing beyond the life of a man
for this same soil has lain for thousands of
years.
Stir up and get the good which it contains; it
is yours to get. Get it then, and begin with a
little less land.-Colcmon' Rural World.

Glory and Fame.
BY LUOLA.

BY LUoLA
Glory and Fame! oh once those words
M, very being stirred
With throbs exultant. Joyously
The thrilling tale I heard
Of martial hosts, of tramping steeds,
On many sunny plain,
Where Saracen and Christian met
Met ne'er to part again.
l heard the groans of dying men,
And walked among the slain
Of by-gone days; when seas of blood
Rolled Ger the crimsoned plain,
And agony and woe and death
Were scattered far and wide,
And coolly l could count the dead
On one or other side. -
Could talk of carnage, rapine, blood,
OF thousands swept away,
As coolly as I'd tell the tale
Of children at their play.
And | could feel twas glorious
To die, as dies the brave,
BE it the cross or crescent,
That foated DER his grave.
But now. but now!' oh. what care
For glory or for fame!
The one is but passing breath,
The other but Il name
y name that soon is sullicd
Or fades away in gloom,
Unless the wearer carve 1T
Himself upon his tomb.
And for each line upon that stone
There is a counterpart,
Engraved in blood, warm deep with tears
In woman's broken heart
Widowed and lone and desolate-
When earth seems one vast grave
All, does it staunch single tear.
That men should call him brave?
Heart-sick, [ turn me now away
From all that breathes of war;
And martial strains and pennons fair
Do fill my soul with awe,
AS if a host of armed men
Should pass me in the midnight gloom,
Bearing the ghostly, mangled forms
OF slaughtered comrades to their tomb.
Bring me no 'IIistry of the war;
l could not read a line;
The mention Of our ''noble dead"
Would make NE, keep me blind.
Let others tell their gallant deeds,
Let others sing their praise
Such grief as mine benumbs my tongue,
| can no p;ean raise.
Bewidered oft | sit and hear
With bowed or dropping head;
And when they speak of fame I cry,
Give back! give back my dead"

relieve the politicians of the troubles of

no platform at, all, but allowing him to
administer the affairs of Government
just as lie pleases,, This Radical hum
bug is too transparent to gull the peo-
pie. They willhave no man for Presi-
dent whose principles sarc not known

endorsed by the Radical Conventions 10
