Does Sub.SOlltnE Pay ::

In answering this question, the Rural Car
oltnidn, among other things, says:
"Some soils hold water like pan some,
the water will percolate through and go out
at the base Of the hill. Not only the kind of
soil, but the peculiarties of locality should
influence our decision on the subject There
are localities where the surface soil has been
exhausted when eight or ten inches below,
ysu may strike sail as good or better than
the original mound on the surface. Here,
say, by all means, sub soil and not sub soil,
but bring portion of the sub-soil to the sur
face, if possible; but if you have two inches of
soil and pipe-clay substrata, sub soiling can
do no gs0d; for in wet season it will held too
much water for the crop. without sub soiling.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.



At meeting of tue Union Farmers Club. of
Fulton county, ILL.,, discussion was held on
the above subject, and the following facts
elected:
The greatest yield is produced by deep
blowing in the Fall, and if sub-soiled and ex-
posed to the Winters freeze, so much the bet
ter. Land plowed in the fall is cultivated
with much less cost, as the ground is COM
parativsly free from weeds.
From corn ground sub-sSiled the season
previous, in comparison with ground In the
same field where it was omitted, all other
circumstances being the same, the produce
was ten bushels in favor of the ground which
was sub-soiled. That which was not, suffered
from the drouth last season, while it did not
affect the sub sOiled ground.
The manner Of sub-seiling alluded to is, one
pillow following ansther, making the whole
plowed from twelve to fourteen inches.
From the experiment of several members,
the result obtained by sub-soiing IN the same
manner in the Spring was such that it was
not recommended, ordinary blowing pro-
ducing as good, if not better, results though
one of our largest corn producers recommend
ed deep blowing, both Fall and Spring.
All were unanimous in recommending the
use of the harrow and roller, particularly in a
dry season. F.

How Oil "ExplOdes.''

The expression often used that an oil i. ex.
plosive conveys wrong idea. The oil does
not explode. An oil may even extinguish q
burning match when thrust into it, and yet be
highly dangerous as burning fluid. 1t is the
vapor of these oils, mixed with the air that is
dangerous as far as explosion is concerned
Where a partly filed lamp has the portion
above the oil filed with mixture of vapor
and air it may explode. When lamp is
filled while lighted the mixture of air and
vapor in can or filler expodes upon coming
in contact with the flame; the oil itself does
not really explode, though 1t does serious in.

FELoSs.-Many persons suffer extremely
from ielons on the finger. These Affections
are not only very painful, but frequently
occasion permanent gripping of the member
affected. The following simple prescription
is recommended rs cure for the distressing
ailment: Take common rock salt, such as j.
used In sailing pork or beef. dry in an oven,
then pound tine and mix spirits of turpcntne
equal parts. Put it on cloth and wrap
around the parts affected, and as it gets dry
put on more and IN twen.y-tour hours you are
cured-the ielon will be dead. 1t will do no
harm to try it.

An English cultivator of the rose says that
lew persons are aware of the magnitude to
when the rose may be- grown as a standard,
or the splendid effect it may he made to pro.
duce on lawn or pleasure ground. Yet,
with stem sufficiently strong, and system of
careful and patient training. there can be no
reasonable doubt but that the standard roses
could be grown to the size and form of the or.
binary examples of the weeping ash, having
the branches all produced from the ton of a
single STEM and flowing downward on all
sides, thus forming very ornamental object

in the use OF salt upon his tomato plants. He

some cases, he LAYS the roots of back ard

A correspondent Of Hearth ant Home says
that George llenning, ofSarstoga. New York.
sows his tomato seeds in January and Febru-
airy, and when the plants are five or six inches
high, cuts off the tops just above the seed
leaves, and sets them out as cuttings In a
properly prepared hot-bed, where they take
root and grow. In April they are trans
planted to cold frames, and finally set out in
the open ground. 1t is claimed that by this
treatment the plants bear earlier, and are
more productive than when treated in the us
ual way.
