Too many persons who use the hoe
suppose that the chief benefit derived
from it is to kill the weeds. That, GER
tainly, is an important work, and
which is greatly neglected. Weedsare
not only in the way of cultivating the
crops which we plant, but they rob
them of much of the nutriment which
they need. Hoeing, then, is an t.s-
sential service in respect to destroying
the weeds.
There are other advantages, however,
which are quite commonly overlooked.
Let us see.
/. The loosening If the soil in II c
opera ion of boeing is beneficial to the
plant rs much As the destruction OF
the weeds, or more SO.
| 2. Moisture ahOunds in the atmos-
phere during the hottest months, and
| il is absorbed and retained most album
,lantly by soil which is i'm the mos
friable state. Prof. Schluber found
that ! goo grains of stiff cay absorbed
in twen;y-four hours only thirty-si1
grains of moisture from the air; whil.
garden mold absorbed forty-fve grains
and fine macnesia seveDty-six grains
| b- ifCi', dSdiii, pun CllDiiiS Chc SUI
enables it better to retain the moisture
absorbed.
4. Tie soil, in order to be healthy
and active, must breathe. A light
porous soil admits the air, and thus j
is fed and greatly invigorated by thu
atmosphere.
5. The suns rays heat a hard sol
much quicker than loose one, and th,
hotter soil is, so much greater will b,
the evaporation from it. So that tb,
hard soil is deprived of its moistur,
mich sooner than one of loose text
ure.
6. The roots of plants can find thei
way through a moist, loose soil, in
search of food, much better than they
can through a hard, dry soil.
Z. A soil that has been plowed well
and then kept loose near the surface by
/ tie action of the hoe, will rcceiv,
and holds the rain water that falls
while hard soil will allow most of i
10 run Off into the valleys and streams
rs il falls.
An English gardener, Mr.. Barnes
Of Devonshire, in giving an opinion
If the importance of hoeing, said h,
q did not agree with those who say
that one good wedding is worth two
good hoeings; say never weed any
crop in which hoe can be got between
the plants not 50 much for the sake O
destroying weeds and vermin, which
must necessarily be the case if thu
hoeing be done well, as for increas
ing the prosperity of the soil, to allow
he water and air to penetrate freele,
through it." He adds: az am wei
convinced, by long and close practice
that of;imes there is more benefit de
rived by crops from keeping them wei
hOed, than there is from the manur,
applied. Weeds or no weeds, i still
keep stirring the soil, well knowing
from practice, the very beneficial effec
it has. "-Nea0 England Farmer.

A correspondent Of the Southern
Planter Richmond, Va.,) says there Is
no other branch Of husbandry that pre-
sents greater Inducements to the far
mers Of that region, than feeding sheep.
az have every year, since the war,
fattened a lot Of sheep purchased either
from drovers or from parties living
West of me in the mountains of West
Virginia, and I have never failed to
make heavy per cent. on the invest
ment-rarely ever failing to double.
My own is not an isolated case. The
same is done by many persons In the
Valley of Virginia.
"SOme farmers say that sheep are
injurious to land, and will not keep
them on that account. belive just
the reverse, as they always leave their
drorpings on the highest part of the
field, which is generally the poorest.
You will always find the sheep at night
on the highest point in the field.

lambs than ewes. The lambs / have
sold in June IA high rs $3.50 per head,
and have sold them when three years
old as high as $12 per head. The WOOD
will invariable pay for the keeping OF
the sheep, and the increase Is clear
gain.
"My plan is to employ an agent to
purchase for me, limiting as 10 quality
and size. and price. My directions are
about as follows Buy no sheep that
will weigh less than one hundred
pounds, and get them as much heavier
as they can be had-nO deliveries TO be
made before the fist day of October.
When delivered, Craze them, and by
December 1 have my sheep ready for
