The self-Manuring Capacities oi

The power possessed by soil of
manuring itself from the air con.
stitutes the real value of fallowing,
and this has caused the introduc.
ton Of mistaken theories, among
which may be classed Jethro Tull's
plan. This agriculturist had 90,
hold of an idea, which was, that
he could, by continually pulveriz-
ing the soil, render the particles
40 fine that hey would pass
through the pores of the roots and
enter into the structure of the plant,
and thus do away with the neces.
sity of manuring. 1t is not neces.
sary to point out here the absurd
ity of such notion, as every one
knows that the substances. extrac.
ted by plants from the soil are in
the form of fluid but yet the prac.
tlce which it gave rise to was in a
great measure sound. He obtain.
ed crops without manure in the
sense in which it isgenerally used,
and yet not without manure in a
scientific sense, for he manured his
land from the atmosphere. The
plan he adopted was to prepare
the whole field by. thoroughly dig
ging and torking it. The wheat
was then dibbled in, in rows of
three together, each row being one
foot apart; then a space of three
feet was left without anything
planted in it, and then three more
rowe, and so on. AS soon as the
wheat was up, the one-foot spaces
between the rows were forked over
repeatedly with a fork about six
inches wide, SO that it did not
come nearer than three inches to
the wheat, which destroyed all the
weeds, and allowed the air to PEN
citrate to the roots. The three feet
spaces were treated the same as
fallows, and were thoroughly turn
cd every way, and exposed to the
air up to the time when the wheat
met over the three-feet intervals.
After the crop was cut, the three
feet tallowed spaces were dibbled
with wheat, and the part which
bore the wheat in its turn remain.
ed fallow.
This will show how necessary it
is to subject land to a proper work
ing, and that when persons hear
the frequent admonition to drain,
dig deep and often, and they neg
lect the injunction, they incur a
more serious loss than they may
at first imagine.

The Lrsihmdn--Gana Chickens
80 and Ldmper EeLs.

"t" LOWtpCT ISCO.
A raw Irishman, many years
ago, emigrated and settled in this
section of country. 1t was q COM
mon custom, at that day and time,
to breed and raise game chickens
for the sport of the pit. The Hi.
bernian was greatly pleased with
the sport, and resolved OH having
stock of his own to pit against all
other game of the country. To
this end, he procured a setting of
eggs from a party who was repre-.
sented to have the best stock in
the country. The party to whom
he applied, for the fun and amuse.
ment that would most likely grow
out of the application, furnished
him with a setting of duck eggs
instead of game chickens. The
Irishman, on the Matching, was in
ecstacies of JOY and delight at the
appearance of his game stock, and
called in his friends and neighbors
10 look at tnem.
Behold" said he, "what a
large and broad bill they have
they can bite, and tear all other
tiU pieces :; look at qchat a broad
and fat foot they haze: beiabers
all kingdom come could not taS;p
them e.p !" .aa .a..ya =
Suffice to say that he fed and
raised his gamesters to full and
mature age, ready, as he conceived,
Cor the sport of the pit. On a Ger.
tain day, n time was fixed for the
assembling OF all who had fighting
game stock, at q public place, to
enter their stock and pay the en-
trance fee to contend for the hand
some purse made mp for the win
ner of the prize. Our Hibernian
friend, with the multitude of con-
testants, entered his stock, paying
the required fee. On loosing them,
however, in place Of the pit, they
made for a pool of water near by,
and put mp the tune of-guack,
4,1dck, diving and playing in the
water, to no little amusement OF
the crowd at the expense Of the
1rishman. He, however, with that
wit and astuteness, common to this
noble race, replied: "Bejabers
my fowls are macy fghters-bring
on your land lubbeys and I will
fight the ring for the prize.n l1S
On an other occasion our Hiber.
nian friend, when on branch near
his place, not long after bis settling
in this country. discovered a water.
moccasin in the branch. Suppos.

The ACTION OF LIME ON SOILS
AND PLANTs--The action of lime is
twotold first physical, and second
chemical. AS a mechanical agen,
it opens stiff clays, rendering them
friable, mellow and more easily
worked chemically, it acts npon
the vegetable matter ofthe soil and
sets free those stores of valuable
substances which, without the ac-
tion OF this agent, must have re-.
mained inert and useless. 1t also
enters directly into the compost
ton of plants, and in many varie
ties forms a large proportion of the
weight of their inorganic constitu-
ents. 1t neutralizes certain acids
which are often present in soils,
rendering them useful to vegeta.
ton instead of being positively in.
iurious, which they are in their
original state. The existence of
water in tho soil however, affects
the action of lime very considera.
bly,. If the land is wet and un-
drained, lime will not exert the
same influence it would do in the
case of thoroughly drained land.
A greater quantity of lime is nee
essary to produce n given effect,
and thus the neglect of thorough
drainage entails q considerable
greater expenditure in lin in g,
than would have been necessary, II
the land was either naturally or
artificially dry.
