The PLOUGH.

The important question for the farmer t,
ask is, not so much how plant nutriment i
contained in the soil, but how much is ther
which is in such physical and chemical CON
daton as 10 be aDaild5ie" for the support o
the growing plant.
Soils that have the greatest amount of cap
Hilary porosity, it is well known, will con
dense the greatest amount of manurial sub,
stances will retain them longest, and will
give them out most readily to the rootlets Of
the growing plant. A mass of adhesive clay

able manure but il this same.mass is rem.
dered friable by mechanical processes, its
power of absorption is amazingly increased
by pulverization the air is admitted to the
soil, which becomes the agent of converting
the carbon existing in it to carbonic acid,
which in its turn renders many substances
which were previously useless, very efficient
IN promoting the growth of plants.
1t Is clear that the pl0UQh is the implement
to bring the soil into the condition described
above; and that is the best plough which will
the most completely do this work-other
things being equal The use Of the spade for

will compact the mellow soil of field into

plough Is the only efectual and economical
tool yet devised TO work the soil into its finest
particles. To bring the plough into the proper
shape to accomplish this, and at the same time
have 1t set squarely on its sole, run even with
the power impelling it, and of light draft, has
cost AN immense amount of thought, labor, and
very large expenditure of money. The

out the aid of any other tool upon it.

But don't give all your time and attention
to the production of these; do something to
ornament your homes and make them pleas

heads without planting an orchard of at least
two hundred trees from those varieties of ap-
pie which it has been proved will stand the
rigors of this climate.

ments in agriculture, raise ten acres Of broom

Wheat.

Let no Vermont farmer who is the pos.
SCISSOR of upland that will with proper tillago
produce an average crop, say from forty to
sixty bushels of sound corn to the acre. IL.
more the idea Of raising wheat Vermont
now stands as State No. three in the produc.
tiyeness Of this crop per acre, and we are sure
it is susceptible of taking still higher rank,
from the successes which careful culture in
many instances meets with. For if one acre
can be made to produce from thirty to forty
bushels Of wheat there are thousands in the
State that can be made equally productive.
A correspondent of the Nao England Farm
er writing from Lyndon, informs that paper
that Mr.. Henry Chase Of that town, raised
on q acres of land last season. 80 bushels
Of excellent wheat Two bushels per acre
was the amount sown. The kind Of wheat
grown was bald variety known as the gold
drop The ground was in good condition,

corn the year previous
As another specimen Of good Vermont
farming, which takes the wheat crop into the |
account, we find statement from Orleans
county where forty -fve bushels Of wheat were
raised on one acre and seven-tenths. Instan. /
ces as encouraging as the foregoing, are by
no means scarce, even in our own county.
and the argument is, that they can be in.
creased TO a profitable advantage. Plaster.
lime, and some of the mechanical fertilizers.
no doubt, contribute largely to produce so
favorable results, and we have known a good
crop on land where little or no other manure
had been applied for years.

can soon learn from observation and cxperi-

You think your cellar or basement is in

know that diptheria, typhoid and scarlet

country; and we can do our readers no
greater service than to urge them to see that
at all times, they are in dry, sweet, whole

farmers families, living in the country, away
