mud that this water is not far from so degrees
or say from IL to 20 warmer than the first

when he wants drinking water will pump out
the water that has been standing in the pump,
because he knows that II is warmer than the
water III the well. We should do the same
thing Tor our stock in Winter, because this first
drawn water Is much colder than the water in

A NEw SysTEM.-lt was thought that the
use, Of steam In blowing would finally decide
the question Of deep blowing in England, and
that with the increased motive power thus
placed at tie disposal OF the ia ner there would
be general deepening Of the furow. The re-
suit has been quite an opposite one--a general
giving up of the furrow. Only where there 10
clover or grass To be turned under ts the pillow
used at all In steam cultivation. In all stubble
aud fallow work (which Is much more In pro-
portion 10 the grass work than Il 10 hers) there
is substituted for it deep-tined grubber or cul-
tivator which tears up and loosens the ground
very thoroughly without reversing II at all. The
cultivation Is deep, It Is true, put the top soil
is kept at the top, aud the subsoil Is only torn
asunder and loosened whsre II lies. This Sc
cures the great advantages Of deep blowing
better drainage and better protection against
drought misunderstanding the disadvantage Of
burying the richer surface soil away from the
action of the sun and air, and out of the reach
of surface roots. 1t is, in fact, more like our
long advocated but too costly subsoiling, and
II constitutes the most effective cultivation yet
known. As a whole, the farming of England
il the best In the world. The farms are usual
ly large, and the farmers men Of int lllgence
and Large capital. More attention is paid there
than anywhere else 10 the making OF manure
grain is largely grown and the system of reg.
ular rotation of crops TO maintain the fertility
part Of the country the cash profiit Of farming
is secured by the sale Of grain, but the fertility
Of the land, the ability 10 produce the grain, Is
kept up by the feeding OF heavy stock of cat
tie or sheep, which are kept mainly for the sake
of the manure they MAXI, and which are fed
largely on purchased food-in great part oil
cake and Indian corn imported from America.
Such complate system could hardly be carried
out ON 50 large scale ON many farms in this
country, for few of our farmers have the cap-
tai; but il is, after all, the system toward which
We should work, and TO which We must look
Tor The permanent future Of Our agriculture.
Our farming can never be perfect, nor anything
like it, until We have reached the point of u
constant improvement Of the soil. A constant
deterioration has been necessary consequence
of the rapid spread Of population over the whole
breadth OF the land, but 1t must before long be
followed ny wave OF better farming, which
alone eau enable such a population to be self
| supporting. Happily the improvement already
made Oh farms at the East, which were con
sidered to have Leen exhausted, shows that tue
injury was not deep, aud that the pioneers who
| have been tempted westward by virgin soil
have left behind them a fair field for the esab.
lshinrnt of the better agriculture hat an Older
and denser community demands aud makes
possible.
