Agricultural Experience.

l. All soils are benefited by being under
drained but the benefit is most apparent and
lasting in those of a claycy nature, or having
a subsol retentye of moisture.
.. After draining, subsoiling and good
cultivation are necessary to ensure good crops
on heavy soils
}. Lime is the best manure TO apply to
strong clay soils. 1t renders them more per-
vious to light and heat, and also correots their
acidity, by combining with some Of the chem
ical salts in the soil, making plant food Of
poisons.
4. Summer following is the most efficient
and profitable means of preparing strong soils
for wheat and Of beginning a rotation, after
grass has been grown for length OF time.
.. Green crops ploughed under when in
the most succulent state are powerful auxili-
aries in rendering light soil fertile, but ii
this is done too often successfully, the soil be-
comes oyercharged with carbouaceous matter.
6. Leached asehs applied in large quanti-
ties to sandy soils, or those containing too
much vegetable humus, will greatly amelorate
their condition and render them more compact
I. There is no soil so poor or terilc, but
some mode may be found of amoliorating AMI
enriching it.
s. Blowing sands may be gradually made
productive by spreading six inches thick Of
straw over them, to remain till rotied. Then
seed thckly with clover on the surface, with
out ploughiug, aud when the clover has taken
hold and becomes established, pasture sheep

tory to manurng and cutivating it.

The New York EreRing Post describes
the ideal farmer in the following moderate
and well chosen terms First of all, he
should be a healthy, honest, scrupuous man
a man whom his neighbors will trust, and
in whom all with whom he deals will place
implicit confidence. Such character, cou-
pied with robust and hearty good health,
would be the best half of young farmers
stock in trade. Then, again, he should be
thoroughly versed in the details of farming
as an art. When and how to plough, to SOW,
TO hoe, to harvest to garner, and to sell how
to keep his land improving in richness and
in filth how to buy, how TO breed, how to
feed, how TO grow, and how to sell his lire
stock how to drain land build fences, lay
out fields, arrange and construct farm build.
ings, break roads and manage all kinds of
farm machinery how to manage the dairy,
from the setting Of milk to the marketing of
the products. All this aud much more
should be learned, not parrot-iashiou, but so
that the knowledge will become as intimate
as an instinct and always ready in any emer-
gency
Underlying all this should be a knowledge
Of the science of agriculture reason
Why Of all this work, so far at least as the
present state Of agricultural knowledge makes
possible; vegetable physiology, that is, the
construction OF plants and the manner in
which they form their growth aud perpetuate
their species; vegetable chemistry, or the
composition of various parts of plants, and
the different composition Of the same parts at
different stages Of growths; vegetable nutri-
ton, or the sources from which the plant OBJ.

Potato EXperlpnce.


My experience in growing the potatoe has
shown me the fllacy Of some Of the theories
advanced in regard to the production of seed
balls and rot, and Planting whole Iotatoes
|. 1t is not true that the reason why old
varieties fail to produce secd-balls is because
from frequent and long-coutinued planting
they have become exhausted, as some assert,
for these samples which | send you are but
two or three years from the seed, and although
they bossomed regularly, not single seed
ball did find in the entire patch
,. | have found four or five potatoes which
were affected by the rot, proving that new va
reties do not always escape the disease My
opinion is that it depends more upon the soil
and weather.

whole and cut potatoe, and could perceive nc
difference in the condition Of each, and have
come to the conclusion that the results from
one eye in hill are the most satisfactory.

1t is surprising that the round fat, com.
monty called English, turnip, so palatably nu.
tritive, is so seldom found on any of our
farmers tables. 1t must be that the farmer
does not understand their worth and the small
cost Of raising them, and we recently heard a
farmer say that they did not cost him more
than three cents per bushel, and as a feed for
