GREEN MANURING.

By far the most economical method of
enriching land is the turning under of
green crops just before poisoning. The
plants that are best suited for this pur-
pose are those which expose to the sun a
large surface of foliage, aid throw out a
great quantity of roots. Clover, lu-
cerne, esparsette, bean, pea, lupin, spur
~, etc., are usually styled the enriching
crops, ssd are the only sure means
of retaining many soils. Upon the san
dy soils in Holstein, where any applics-
ton of manure is rendered improbable,
because of the porous nature of the soil
and subsoil, the constant practice with
farmers is to SOW spurry, (SpergutG Ar
ue18iS) in the fall, and pillow under in the
spring; or SOW in March, May or July,
blowing in each crop, before seeding, as
the reproductive functions when brought
into activity, are found to be more ex-
haustive to the soil than the litter would
be of benefit. 1t is said that the worse
shifting lands may be fixed and made
productive by this plant, and that green
manuring every other year whit not only
nourishes the alternate crop of rye but
gradually increases the producdVeness of
the soil. Ia addition to the valuable
properties of this plant as fertilizer, it is
highly esteemed In the Netherlands as
fodder, and COWS ere said to give more
milk, and of richer quality, when fed
upon it, either green or as fodder, than
when fed upon any other plant. Upon
the sandy soils of West Tennessee, where
81 much land has been suffered to go to
waste in consequence of the difficulties
and expense of msnuring, we would re-
commend the trial of this plant. Seed
might be obtained through some dealer in
New York; or Robert Buist, Jr., Of
thiladelphis, would likely be able to sup
ply them.
The common black pea sown broad
cast, half bushel to the acre, about the
first of June, has been used with great
success by many farmers in this country
living in situations where the common red
clover will not grow. Il must not be
forgotten that all green crops, with the
exception of those which have long tap
roots, should invariably be turned under
just before poisoning. Atthat season their
fertilizlng properties are at their maxi
mum. The leaves of flowers give off nj
;rogen; and as this is an agent highly con-
ducive to the fertility of the soil it is de-
sirable to retain as much of it in the land
as possible.
The beneficial action of green crops on
land is due to four causes:
l. To their action in shading the land.
As shade IS hIghly promotive of the i'm
movement of land by keeping 1t moist,
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1871-03-16

thereby increasing its capacity for absorb
ing the gases and the prevention of the
dissipation Of volatile particles by the &C.
ton of the sun; care should always be
taken to sow sufaciency of seed to keep
the land well covered with whatsoever plant
may be used as fertilizer. The heavier
the crop and the more completely it COW
ers the land the greater will be the i'm
provement.
2. Totheir trsctile effects:
The large surface of their foliage en-
ables them to draw from the air three
fourths of their sustenance; while their
roots descending beyond the usual depth
of tillage bring up to the surface valus-
BILE mineral Ingredients; all of which, by
blowing in the green crop, is added to the
surface soil and make it richer in organic
matter, and as often as this process is re-
pested, the richer the soil becomes.
8. To their mechanical action in loos-
ening the soil, opening the pores and
changing the color of thelsnd to darker
hue. Other things being equal, land is
always more productive as these three
conditions are increased.
4. To the purely chemical changes
which the turning under of veg
etsble matter induces. When green
vegetable matter decays in the open air,
the carbonic acid escapes and is lost; but
if buried btnesth the surface carbonic
acid is formed less rapidly, and other
compounds are generated favorable to
vegetation. And as the sap Of plants
contain nitrogen, the formation of new
chemical combinations with. other ele-
ments of organic matter are also induced,
such as ammonia, etc. 1t is a we'll
known fact in agricultural chemistry that
the production of ammonia takes place
most abundantly where the oxygen of the
air does not gain ready access, and hence
subsoiling and green manuring, and the
penetration of the earth by the roots of
plants are all favorable to the production
of ammonia, the most stimulating as well
as the most powerful of all the .fertil-
izers.
No other green crop, however, will
bear any comparison with the common
red clover in clayey limestone soils. 1t
matters but little how poor the land, if
this plant can be well set the original
fertility of the land will soon be restored,
whether it is plowed under as q green
crop or left to decay upon the
surface. A beautiful illustration of the
benefits to be derived from clover &C.
CURED on farm few years ago near
Hopkinsville, KY. An enterprising Cit
zen bought thousand acres of well worn
land, indeed almost totally exhausted,
at ten dollars per acre. He broke it up
and sowed wheat Oh it in the fall, and
in the spring seeded it with clover. After
this he sowed gypsum, two barrels to the
acre, and secured good stand of clover,
but made but little wheat. The succeed
ing spring it was again top dressed with
plaster, and the clover plowed under in
June, and wheat supervened in the fall. He
continued this for few years, and the
land increasd in value from ten dollars
per acre to seventy-fye in less than ten
| wears.

character, which proposes to break up
the established order of things in the
ancient organized machinery of the State,
should, if allowable at all, be general

State, in order that the people may be
guarded from hasty and ruinous legisla-

an equality alike necessary TO the public

We will not countenance any depart

think the laws now under review present
any considerations in their favor that
will authorize q liberal construction of

assured that all exceptional legislation of
this character is evil in its tendency, we
can safely decree it in violation of the
constitution, and strike it down with the
certainty that no great public OF private
interest will, in the least be injuriously
affected by such decision.
The question has now ceased to be
practical one, as all the legislation of this
character complained of in this bill, has
been swept away by legislature that has
been guided by feeling of deeper rever-
ence for the past and more thorough
recognition of the long established usages

The examination ct this institution, which
commenced on Monday. the ODD, and is now
going on, has shown that the earnest and I'M
firing efforts Of Professors Storum and King
have been productive of great good. The

men over twenty years of age, who only very
recently learned 10 read and write On the

Society, and is doing a good work in the way
of dssipsting that feeling of prejudice against
colored people entertained by such white Bap
lists as declare their belief that the institution
Of slavery was the best possible academy for
cOlored people. A declaration of this kind

The sku-KIux Law and John Chi
namHn.

Strange as it may at 6rst seem, says the ST.
Louis Democrat, the much abused Ku.klux
law devised with the sole intent of remedying
the existing disorders at the South, promises TO
be first tested GA the Pacific coast. Our readers
will remember that by a recent decision of the
Supreme Court Of California, Cinnamon are ex-
cluded from the right Of giving evidence in cases
where u white man is the party. For some
time past this rule has worked serious hardships
for the Chinese residents of San Francisco and
other cities IN which they are permitted To
carry on business. The almond.eyed citizens
are shrewd at bargain and careful in keeping
their accounts. No little bill escapes them
and rarely do they permit any of their customers
70 deal with them on the credit system. Occa-
sonally, however, the books in which they
record their sharp dealings show Al entry of
sale that was not made tor cash. In such cases
it is Il rare chance il the high spirited white
men. who are their creditors, do NOT attempt TO
eyade the liquidation Of the responsibility, be
ing possessed OF feeling akin To that which
moved Bill Nye aud his friend 10 enter upon
that memorable game of euchre with An Sin.
This indifference Of the native San Franciscans
to Chlnese bills has been fostered by the decision
OF the Supreme Court above alluded TO, which
eieCtually locked the gate of the witness stand
against the Chinamau. Under the present
arrangement, when they geek to recover anv
demand TO the amount Of $500 or over. they ore
permitted, to be sure, to bring their action in
the Federal courts, where their testimony is
received. But for ali sums under $500 they are
forced to go begging oil their days OF seek re-
dress IN State court, where neither they nor
any OF their kin can testify.
We are informed, however that an effort
will be made in San Francisco 10 practically
and finally test the question whether the Fed.
eral Constitution and the laws of Congress can
be set aside and nulified by the California Su
preme Judiciary. A bubble over the letter
of the previously existing laws has enabled
these officials to peryert their spirit, recourse
will be made in this instance to the Ku K!ux
law, whose language is too plain TO admit of

One DR.. Ii Pc Tai who has brought suit

cannot prove his right to judgment save by his
own testimony, has sign fled his willingness to
make his the test case, and thus once for all
prove what is the measure Of right his country
men are hereafter to ENJOY in California. The
trial of the cause, which will necessarily be
slow on account Of its frequent appeals, will be
regarded with nearly as much curiosity by the
citizens OF the United States in general as the
Chinese Of San Francisco, whose interests only
it seeks will evince in it.
