Items of Agricultural Experience.

1. ALL soils are benefited by being
underdrained, but the benefit is more APP
parent and lasting in those of clayey
nature, or having subsoil retentlve OF
moisture. A-.4 = = -
2. After drainage, subsoiling and good
cultivation are necessary to ensure good
crops on heavy soils.
8. Lime is the best manure to supply
strong clay soils. 1t renders them more
pervious to light and heat, and also cor
reefs their acidity, by combining with some
of the chemical salts in the soil, making
plant food of poison.
4. Summer following is the most efficient
and profitable means of preparing strong
soils for wheat, and of beginning rota-
ton, after grass has been grown for a
length Of time. as ~
5. Green crops plowed under, when in
the most succulent state, are powerful
auxiliaries in rendering light soil fertile ;
but if this is done too often, successfully,
the soil becomes overcharged with car
bonaceOus matter.
6. Leached ashes applied in large quanti-
ties to sandy soils, or those containing too
much vegetable humus, will greatly
ameliorate their condition, and render
them more compact.
Z. There is no soil so poor or sterile but
some mode may be found Of ameliorating
and enriching it. ~
8. Blowing sands may be gradually
made productive by spreading six inches
thick of straw over them, to remain till
rotted. Then seed thickly with clover on
the surface, without blowing, and when
the clover has taken hold and becomes es-
tablished, pasture sheep upon the land for
two or three years preparatory to manuring
and cultivating it.
8. Two successive grain crops on the
same land leave it very foul
10. Summer following ameliorates soil,
and, if properly done, gets rid of most of
the weeds and noxious plants infesting it.

The President and the Gold Excite

The New York Ledger publishes the
following correspondence between Robert
Bonner and General Grant:
"NEw YORK, Oct II, 1869.
"MY DEAR GENERAL: AS / stated to
you Immediately after your election that
there was no office which desired, either
for myself or any friend, have had no oc-
casion to write to you in regard to such
matters. There is matter now, however,
that concerns you personally, and in
which [ feel that | discern your interest
so plainly that | take the liberty to write
to you with reference to it. do this with
less hesitation because you did me the
honor, after your election, to confide to
me pretty fully your views
"In the present disturbed state of the
public mind concerning the recent gold
combination, is it not theq quickest and surest
way to set at rest the great excitement
and uneaslness which prevail, for you to
make a brief denial, over your own sigma
ture, of all foreknowledge of that combi-
nation, in order to relieve yourself entire
ly from all responsibility for the acts of
others? OF course those who know you
personally do not require such disclaimer;
but the great public, whose minds are liza
BILE to be warped by the determined and
persistent efforts to injure you, will be, it
seems to me, at once satisfied and quieted
by such statement Sincerely yours,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Is, 1869.
Robert Bonner, Esq.,:
"DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 18th
inst. is received. l have never thought
of contradicting statements or insinua-
tions made against me by irresponsible
parties, as those alluded to in your letter,
but as you have written to me ON the sub
ject in SO kind spirit, I will say that
have no more to do with the late gold ex-
element in New York city than yourself,
or any other innocent party, except that /
ordered the sale of gold, to break the ring
engaged, as thought, in most disreputa-
BILE transaction. If the spectators had
been successful, you would never have
heard of any one connected with the adj
ministration as being connected with the
transaction. Yours truly,

haste, and without exercising judgment as

THE Republicans carried Philadelphia

the October election last year the vote
stood as follows:
NJ nemocrstic .f-s go ,S03
1t was charged by the Republicans that
from six to eight thousand fraudulent
votes were polled by the Democrats, and,
to put a stop to such practice, a stringent
registry law was passed by the Legislature,
by means of which only legal votes can
get into the ballot, and we now see the
effect-the Republicans carry the city by
four thousand majority without putting

WE often allude to this, the vilest pest

is allowed to get foothold. We say al

where farm is free Of it except it has
permission to do so from the occupier OF

chased seeds, or it may steal over his lines
from the lands of careless neighbor; but
in either event it is easy to dispatch it if
taken in time, and the farmer who neglects
to take it in time and destroy root and

against the law, and the community which
the law is intended to protect.

Ben Wade's Endorsement of President
Grant.

In speech at Akron, Ohio, the other
night, Ex-senator Wade said:
"Mr. Pendleton says you are ground
down with the debt and oppressed so
that you can hardly breathe. But every
dollar of the debt must be paid, though
you are to be relieved from taxation.
How, brother Pendleton, can you relieve
the people from taxation, and yet pay off
the debt? If you can tell us that, God
knows l will be with you. | don't
see how it can be done; but do say, to
dishonor the debt, and thus wrong those
who lent their credit to the Government
IN the time of It's greatest necessity, would
be one of the most shameful acts men
could do. Why, sirs, fifteen years will
wipe out every dollar of this great debt,

ministration is performing its duties with
an honesty of purpose, and determination

paper in their professional duties will be
glad to know that any paper capable OF
the transfer of a drawing in ordinary ink,

stout drawing paper, can be made as trans

its opacity as the benzine evaporates, and
if the drawing is not completed, the
requisite portion of the paper must be again
