A correspondent of the Neao En-

worthless part of his farm, and made
it wonderfully productive. The mead
ow was divided 10y a crooked stream,
which rendered it too wet for cultiva-
ton. but by digging a straight ditch
through it, three feet wide and three
feet deep, with permanent walls to
support the banks, and running other
drains into this, the land has been inn
proved, until it now produces immense
crops of hay and grain. Seventy-five
bushels of corn and from seventy-five
to 100 bushels of oats to the acre have
been raised on this land since the
drains were completed. The expense
of draining the land has been paid for
several times already.

Effects of Smoke on Vegetation.

In paper addressed to the French
Academy of Sciences, M. c. Husson
calls attention to the disastrous effect
of smoke on vegetation. For many
years proprietors of vineyards situated
in the vicinity of lime kilns have been
complaining of the damage done to
them by these inconvenient neighbors,
and various chemists have confirmed
their statements. M. Husson, having
an opportunity of examining the mat
ter himself in Il vineyard known as the
Saint Esprit, near Toul, where lime
kilns have been built, found that the
wine made there had disagreeable
smoke and smell. This vineyard is sit
uated on the slope of small hill, be-
tween the canal and the railroad. The
hilnS occupy lower side. The west
ern winds drive the smoke from the
klns to the vineyard The leaves of
the vines had a taste quite similar to
that with which the wine was infected,
and the few remaining grapes had it
all the more ripper they were. On the
opposite side of the railway line there
are other vineyards, which, being shell
tered from the carnations of the lime
kllnS, present none of these disagree
able characteristics. Several days later,
the kilns being eXtinguished, a new in
Spection was proceeded to after copious
falls Of rains. The bad smell and taste
had disappeared from the leaves. BY
way of experiment an engine was made
TO go up and down along the vineyard,
It's heavy black smoke being driven up
on the leaves by wind; a thick deposit
of SCOT was found on the leaves, but
which impaired no taste to them.
Hence it was proved beyond doubt
that the empyreumatic taste and smell,
resembling that of creOsora, was entire
ly owing to the decomposition of lime
stone i'll the kilns.
