Flowing and Cultlvating by Steam.

The day will probably come, when
n large share of the cultivation Of the
land will bo done by steam-power,
The steam-plough has for some years
been in successful Use in England,
but in this country where we have SO
much land especially favorable for
lts operation, the attempts at steam
cultivation have been 40 few as to
amount to little in demonstrating its
value IA compared with ordinary
methods. The English machines are
ponderous, cumbersome, and eXprn-
sive, and 1t ls this coupled with the
fact that the steam-plough implies n
moro thorough system Of agriculture
than we have yet adopted, that has
retarded their introduction. In the
most successful English Implements
the plows are drawn backwards and
forwards across the field by means of
two engines, one stationed at each
end Of tho furrows.
There are several Of these plows ut
work upon sugar plantations in Lou
lsiana. The cane crop is very cX-
hausting one, and deep plowing is
necessary. Ono OF the most enter
prising planters, finding it impractic-
able to obtain the required depth of
soil by ordinary ploughing, imported
a set Of steam machinery. Tho re-
suits attained by this were 40 salts
factory, that the first importation was
followed by others, and in Louisiana
at least, steam-pleughing may be
considered an established fact. Aside
from the thorough working Of the
soil one great point in favor of the
steam-plough upon plantations is
that the most favorable season for
ploughing is autumn, and this is just
the time when the teams and hands
are busy in cutting cane and carrying
1t to the mill. The stcam-ploughs
usually require only two or three
hands to work them, though in cane
fields, where there il much trash" )"
more help Is required, to keep the
ploughs from being cloggcd. The
ploughs are carried upon frame,
and are from two to five in number,
The frame carries two sets Of plOughs,
and is so arranged that it can be tilt
cd when it reaches the end Of the
field and tue direction is to he revcr-
scd, thus lifting one set Of ploughs
out Of the soil and bringing the other
set into proper position for work. The
ploughs are moved by means of n
wire rope, which is wound upon a
drum below the engine. When the

Almanacs.

Every year, throughout the United
States, all over Europe, and in other
parts Of the civilized world, q class Of
pamphlets, similar In character
though different in contents, is regu-
larly printed, millious Of copies in the
aggregate are circulated, enc Of these
finds its way into every household,
and Is received there with the heartiest
welcome. We refer to almanac- -
manuals replete with instruction and
interest. The Bible, the newspaper

pensibles OF a well regulated family.
They have ceased to be luxuries, and
have become necessities. We are lost
without them. II wanting, they are

The almanac is reminder Of the
