1t will always pay to make it deep,
even if done with a spade but remem-
Der to keep all the surface soil at the
top, and not bury it at the bottom, as I
have seen done by some gardeners. If
the expense of trenching or deepening
the soil of the whole garden this year be
too much for the purse, then select one
portion for this seasons improvement
and another for next year. Clay soils
are especially benefited by trenching,
and while such soils are not specially
adapted to early crops, the trenching
will be found great aid, in the aeration
it gives, toward earliness, and for dry,
hot summer, clay soil trenched is
superior to any of lighter texture.

NECESSITY OF MAHUREs.-We have
thousand times, probably, urged the
same views upon our farmers as are
contained in the following paragraph
from the Atlantic Homestead; and yet
we believe they cannot be too often
pressed upon the attention of those for
whose benefit they are presented:
Every plant Is the result Of an or
ganized seed, endowed with vegetable
life, and capable Of being acted upon
by appropriate stimuli in the soil. This
vegetable life is at first excited and
subsequently kept up by the applica-
ton of natural stimulants much in like
manner as in animals. If there is a
deficiency of these stimulants in the
soil, it must be supplied by the hand
Of man, or plants cannot thrive and
yield their full increase.
Continued cropping, without the
restoration Of the proper elements Of
plant food, viii finally exhaust any
soil, no matter how fertile originally.
No system of agriculture can ever be-
come a successful one that does not re-
turn, as much at least, of plant food as
the successive crops take from it.
@This is the reason why our lands
become less fertile year BY year, sim
ply because we do not restore to the
land as much Of the plant food as the
crops take from it. VIII your horse
hold out to work day by day if you do
not feed him? Gould you long endure
the tolls of the farm without appro-
pirate food to supply the waste of the
system? No more can your land CON
tinue to produce good crops indefinite
y, unless the proper food Of plants can
be supplied by your hand, No one
has ever succeeded in keeping up the
fertility Of his soil without an applica-
ton of manures."

EARTH PULvERIzERs.-Not the
least valuable implement for farmer
or gardener is a good drag for smooth
ing and pulverizing fields which are to
be planted orsown. There are several
methods Of constructing such a drag,
but one Of the simplest is to take two
pieces Of joist, each with the front end
beveled like the front of sled runner,
and then nail on plank across them, on
the under side, letting the planks run
out by the jOists a foot or more. They
may be Of any size Or weight desirable,
according to the amount Of team to be
used. Some farmers recommend to
nail one or two narrow strips upon the
face Of the plank to collect the Jumps
and soil, and drag them along until
or until all inequalities in the
surface are filed up. We recently re-
ceived cut and description of pull
veriser with a half dozen or more
cleats nailed upon the under side of
the drag for more thoroughly pulver-
izing and leyeling the soil They are
nailed on with the outer ends forward
Of the middle, and thus tend to gather
the soil toward the middle, and pre-
vent ridges being left at the sides Of
the drag when in use. Either of the
various styles are very useful in their
place, and the cost of making one is so
small that every farmer should have
one Of his own. They are sometimes
lsed for covering potatoes, fodder,
,orn, OF other crops, and may often pay
orthemselyesin a single days use. On
and clear from stones they may be
lsed at seeding time instead Of roller

PEs.-I have often transplanted
grape vines as late as the first Of June,
after the leaves were as large as a dol
lar, and they did well. The leaves will
wilt and drop of, but new ones viii
grow speedily; and in the faIl the
vines are apparently as if set earlier /;
but the proper time to set them is in
May before the vines have leafed out.
Never buy old vines, thinking to OBJ
tain a crop Of fruit a year or two ear
ier than from those two and three
years old, the limit in age that vines
should be reset. Cuttings set to pro-
duce young vines should be shaded a
little with hay or grass till they take
root, which is not till late in June.
When the thermometer is in the nine
ties in the shade, the heat Of the sun
will often kill the buds Of cuttings that
have not taken root. As the canes to
your old vines grow, 50 as to be in dan
ger Of being broken off BY high winds,
they should be tied to the trellis; and
q watch kept on them til July tying
the new canes as needed. Most vines
oyerbear, and if the smallest clusters
be cut out, 50 as to leave about two
thirds Of the fruit that set, the remain
der viii be better in quality, and equal
to the whole quantity, ifnone had been
cut out.

The VALUE OF SHELTER.--Bart-
lett Brothers, Of Round Grove, Iowa,
write: eIn looking over the letters on
thesubjectOf hog cholera in the Week
q Inter Ocean, am more than ever
satisfied that the key to the mystery is
overlooked; and that it is good shell
ter. Seven years ago the disease went
through this vicinity, commencing in
the month Of September, and every
herd, with two exceptions, suffered;
those two were treated no better than
the rest, only they had good shelter
and we're well bedded. Our herd at
the time numbered about one hundred
head Of yearling hogs and as many
morespringpig of which we lost about
one-half They were running on tame
grass pasture, with a grove in it, and
creek fpure water running through it;
had corn all summer, and had COM
menced feeding new corn. This dis
ease broke out among our hogs, as
with our neighbors, just after cold rains.
Since this experience we have provi-
ded good, high posted, well ventilated
sheds, and kept them well bedded and
dry at all times of the year, and have
lost no more hogs from cholera, thumps
or any other disease. We use no pre-
ventative medicines, and are raising $50
head yearly. We feed young pigs and
sows mill feed and soaked corn through
the winter. with once in 4 while feed
ofOats for a change. Give ashes every
morning, either of coal or wood, as it
comes from the stove salt twice
week We think it ones own fault if
his hogs have cholera, unless brought
to them, until / find better proof Of
the contrary than ! have yet seen. /
think it tcontagious but generally spon-
taneous.
