fully recommend this experiment to
the Managers of the Eastern Model
and Experimental Farm. Let altern-
ate lands be ploughed Spring and
Fall. and the result carefully noted,
not for one year, but for several
years-the corn on that pioughed in
the Fall will be found to be the most
vigorous, to suffer the least from cut
worm and insect pests, and by COM
bination of these and other favorable
circumstances, will yield the best crop
and least unsound corn.
Let those who doubt the benefits of
Fall blowing, carefully pillow small
amount of their "corn-stalk" ground
after the corn is of, and after throw
ing it into high, narrow ridges leave
it undisturbed all Winter, and in the
Spring re-ploW it or simply harrow
down the ridges-and after blowing
like amount of the undisturbed
ground-alongside plant both with
potatoes, and carefully and accurately
note the result; having a pair of Fair
banks coal scales convenient, L find
they obviate the necessity for the
usual plan of guessing at such results.
Nor is the increase in the crop all
the advantage gained-for the farm
teams are usually in good order for
work in the Fall, and though the days
are short, yet they are cool; and /
have found that l can accomplish as
much as when the days are longer and
warmer.
When done in the Fall we get en-
tirely clear of the usual rush of
Spring work, and are able to give
more attention to preparing the
ground and planting the crop.
AS the question of the relative adj
vantages Of Fall and Spring plewing
for our various crops comes clearly
within the province of the Expert
mental Farm. / hope we will hear of
its trial there and have a definite
result, which will have more weight
than if from a private individual who
is only PRACTICAL FARMER.

MANURIAL Power OF SALT.-A
correspondent of the Journal of Agri-
culture says he finds his clay loan
ground increased more in productive
ness by the use of eight bushels of
salt to one bushel Of plaster to the
acre, than from the application of an
imal manure. Others b ave been
equally benefited by the application.
Perhaps a judicious mixture of both
would secure the best results.

FEMALES OF TARTARY. Some of the
Tartar women wear long snow-white wells,
which cover not only the face, but the
whole of the head and upper part of the
body and as if wells were insufficient to
protect them from observation, they no
sooner behold man, than they hang their
heads and endeavor to escape notice by
fight. An English servant observing this
practice, deemed it to be an act ofrudeness
on his part, to give them the trouble of
hiding their faces and running away on his
account therefore whenever he encounter
ed them, he covered his face and took to
his heels, in order to hide himself in the
first place he could find. This passed un-
noticed for some time at length the Tartar
women, struck by the singularity of seeing
a man always avoiding them, let fall a
portion of their wells when they next met
him but this caused him only to run fas
ter than before. Such conduct excited
their curiosity more than ever, and at last
they hunted him after following him in
parties to his hiding place with their wells
off, they resolved to see man who for the
first time concealed his face at the ap-
proach of a woman, and, having caught
him, they actually commanded an explain
alton of his unaccountable behavior.

VALLANDIGHAM ON BUCHANAN Most
of the Democratic papers attempt to eulo-
gize the late President Buchanan but the
Dayton Ledger, Of which Nalandigham is
supp osed to be editor in chief, speaks more
candidly. 1t says;
His administration was marked at ev-
cry step by complication of errors and
misfortunes. He inherited the Kansas
question, but failed to adjust it with sue
cess. A sarcastic and i'll advised letter of
ten lines arrayed Douglas against him on
the i'll fated Lecompton controversy. Ex-
tricated in part, at last, from the difficulty,
through the extraordinary skill of Alex.
II. Stephens, by the passage Of the g Eng
lish Bill" and thus defeating the " Little
Giant" Of the West, instead of conciliat-
ing his batfled but still powerful foe, he
resolved, in spite of the entreaties of many
of his best friends, to carry the war into
Illinois, and to drive Judge Douglas out of
the Senate, even though Lincoln should be
his successor. In this, he signally failed
Douglas was reelected became candi-
date before the Charleston Convention,
where he was bitterly opposed by Mr.. Bu-
chanan's friends. The fierce contention
shivered the Convention; the Democratic
party was divided Lincoln was elected
civil war came, and the end is not yet
Both by temperament and by age Mr..
Buchanan was wholly untitled for the rev.
olutionary tempest which beat upon him
during the last months of his administra-
ton. His patriotic purposes and impulses
no man has any right to question; but he
failed utterly to meet the crisis Demon
strating with logical exactitude, the uncon-
stitutonality of coercion, he yet denied
the right of secession, and ignoring the
fact of secession, did nothing; but lying
upon the waters of revolution, huge but
powerless hulk, he drifted with the cur
rent till the fourth of March and disap-
peared. His successor drifted on, too,
crying out at every surge of the waves,
that nobody was hurt but he drifted
speedily and straightway into civil war.
What Mr.. Buchanan should have done,
what he could have done, it is now mere
matter of speculation to inquire. But
William the Silent, William the Third,
a Lord Chatham, or an Andrew jackson,
any one worthy of place in the grand ar
ray of Gods eternal men'-would have
done something, and done it with COM
manding promptitude and efficiency. But
all this, and all else which pertains to the
great American Revolution OF 1861, we
commit to the high and impartial tribunal
of history, for solemn and diligent inquest,
and Judgment from which there is no
appeal"
