ITEMS OF AGRICULTURAL ExPERIENCE.-1. !.
All soils are benefited by being gunderdrained,
butthe benefit is more apparent and lasting in
in those of clayey nature, or subsoil reten-
tive Of moisture.
.. After drainage, subsoiing and good
cultivation are necessary to ensure good crops
on heavy soil.
5. Lime is the best manure to supply
strong clay soils. 1t renders them more per.
vious to light and heat, and also corrects their
acidity, by combining with some of the chem
ical 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 rotation,
after grass has been grown for length of
time.
5. Green crops plowed under. when in the
most succulent state, are powerful auxilia-
ries in rendering light soil fertile, but if
this is done too often successfully, the soil
becomes overcharged with carbonaceous
matter.
6. Leached ashes applied in large quanti-
ties to sandy soils, or those containing too
much vegetable humus, will greatly amelio-
rate their condition, and render them more
compact.
:. There is no soil so poor or sterile but
some mode may be found of amelorating and
enriching it.
5: 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, with.
out piowing, and when the clover has taken
hold and becomes established, pasture sheep
upon the land for two or three years prepare
tory to manuring and cultiyating it.
y: Two successive grain crops on the same
land leave it very foul.
10. Summer following ameliorates a soil.
and It properly done gets rid of most of the
weeds and noxious plants infesting it.-FCa.

How DIVORCES ARE OBTAINED IN INDIANA.
The New Albany (Indiana) Commercial,
SAYS Various and inferal are the subterfu-
CUES often resorted to by parties desiring TO
be rid of matrimonial letters. We have heard
of case illustrative of this statement that Oc-
Cured not many years ago in this county.
A widow woman held property which she
might transfer while she remained single, but
which, according to her husbands will, she
could not dispose of if she married again in a
state of coverture. Well, she did marry
second time, and in the course of time she
desired to transfer the property left her by
her first husband. but this, of course, she
could not do, the provision of her frat hus-
band g will innibiting her. Here was quan-
dary. A lawyer of this city was consulted.
He "se. things up" for the wife and her hus-
band. She went home, told her husband
what advice the lawyer had given her, and
he thought it '.just the thing" And what.
reader, do you suppose that advice was!
Simply this The husband and wife were to
quarrel and fight every day, and this was ie
be done in the presence of the children of the
wife, who were well grown, and they were to
believe the quarreling and fighting were genu-
inc, instead of feigned. The programme was
carried out to the letter, the husband applied
for a divorce. Heset forth "incompatihility-
10 his complaint, the wife admitted 1t. and
the children swore to it. Judge Bicknell
granted the divorce. The same day she trans
ferred the property as she had desired to do
and the next day the divorced couple were re-
married. Such is one of the phases OF the
divorce practice. -. tH 4lg

THE GRANDEsT HOTEL IN AMERICA.-Few
people who pass along Broadway are aware
that on that bustling thoroughfare, between
Bleecker and Amity streets, there is in
course of erection, on the site of the old La
farge House, what is destined, when COM
pleted, to be the largest hotel on the Western
continent, and equaled by one only in Europe,
the Grand Hotel at Paris.
After the conhagration that destroyed the
Winter Garden Theatre in April 1867, the
Laferge Hotel remained untenanted, and
was put up at public auction during the
month cf March last by the heirs of the es-
tate. and the building and grounds sold to E.
S. Higgins, who gave 81 900, 900 for his pur-
chase. These gentleman conceived the idea
of erecting the largest botel in the country,
and, when completed, it will without a doubt
come up to his calculation. The building is to
be eight stories in height, both on the Mercer
street and Broadway sides, surmounted with
three gothic towers, from which q magnif-
cent view of the city and surrounding coun-
try may be obtained. There will be 500
rooms-300 of which will be divided up into
parlors. This will be 200 more rooms than
either the St. Nicholas, Fifth Avenue. or
Metropolitan hotels can boast of, and surpass-
es even the celebrated Lirdell Hotel. destroy
ed by fire some three years ago, at St. Louis,
Mo.
The cuisine and dining apartments are
large and spacious. the largest dining room
being Us feet in length by 75 feet in width
with capacity for accommodating 700 guests
at one time. The item of furniture and up
holstery is amazing, they requiring an ex-
penditure of S400, 900 alone. The carpeting
reouired tO cover the vast numher of rnoms
and halls in this monster concern is sufficient
to cover seven acres, all of which will be of
the finest velvet and Brussels, ordered ex-
pressly from Paris. The walls of the old ho-
tel, fronting on Broadway, will remain as
they are, with the exception of the entrance
which will be greatly enlarged and improved,
the Offices being at the further end of the
rotuhda upon entering. The structure,
which will bear the name of the Southern
Hotel. will be completed by next June, but
will not be opened until August. The whole
affair will cost 81 600, ,000.-New York Her.

GRAPE PRUNING.-A correspondent Of the
San Jose Mercury furnishes the following
views upon grape pruning: "From over
twenty years of practical experience, divided
between France, MADEIRA, Australia, seven
years in California, and six years of the time
cultivating the grape vine under glass in Eng
land, l am led to believe in fall pruning.
The time for pruning has been the subject of
much controversy. l believe the best time is
after the vines have completed their season s
growth: the worst time, the spring, fall prun-
ing enables the wounds to heals, which is We
ry beneficial. Spring pruning often leads to
decay and i'll health, sometimes death. Hop
ing this brief communication upon the sub
iect fraueht with SO much importance to our
farmers and winners may be the means of
eliciting further information, | remain, etc. "
Upon which the editor of the Mercury re-
marks: "There can be no doubt but the fall
is the best time to prune the grape. The
work should be done as soon after the leaves
fall as possible. When done in the spring,
the vines, not having time to close the pores
caused bv amputation of the limbs, before ac-
tive growth commences, bleed profusely, and
thereby lose much of their strength. This
evil is greatly obviated by pruning in the fall,
or Immediately after the wood has become
thoroughly ripe AMI hard. In addition to
this. the remaining buds are better developed
and more completely matured, by having all
branches not required for the future years
crop removed as early as possible after the
vines have completed their season. growth.
