How to PIOM.

In his address on "Plowing" before the
State board of agriculture of Connecticut,
Professor Stockbridge said: "There are
two kinds of soil on every mans farm
the agricultural soil and the subsoi. The
agricultural soil may be two inches deep,
or it may be nine, but it is not twenty feet.
1t is no deeper than the air can penetrate.
If the agricultural soil is too shallow, it
may be gradually deopened by lifting an
inch of the subsoil at each blowing, bring
ing it up to the air and enriching it with
manure. Our agricultural society commit
tees, by their premiums for smooth, shiny,
fiat burrows, have done the community
great harm. Such blowing as oftenest
takes the premium is the very poorest kind
of blowing. The soil is best plowed when
it is most thoroughly crushed, twisted and
broken, with the sod well covered. On
some kinds of land would have the fur

A Valuable Property.

Harvey's "reminiscences of Daniel Web
ster, just published, contains the follow
ing:
Webster at one time took in payment
of his fee for legal services, small farm
in the neighborhood of the White Noun
tains, New Hampshire. He left the ten
ant, who was living there at the time, in
possession. After his removal to Boston
he heard nothing of his White Mountain
estate for several years. One summer, as
he journeyed northward with his wife, in
quest of recreation, lie resolved to turn
aside from the travelled road, to ascertain
the true condition of his property. He
found very miserable hut upon it, occu-
pied by an aged woman as the only tenant
of his farm. He asked for glass of wa.
ter, which was readily served in tin dip
per. He then began to make inquiries
about her prosperity, and the present con-
dition of things about her. She said that
she did not own the farm, but that it be-
longed to a lawyer down in Boston by the
name of Webster.
"Does he often come to see you, my good
woman 2" said Mr.. Webster.
mo" replied she, che has never been
near his land since lived here"
"Well," said he, "what rent does he
make you pay for the occupancy of his
farm 2"
"Rent !" she exclaimed, ~ don't pay
him any rent. 1t is bad enough to live
here without paying anything for it; and
if he don't fix up the house don't mean
to stay here freezing to death. much long
er!"
"Well, madam" returned the kind
hearted proprietor, "is is pretty hard
case confess. If you will accept of this
bill Give dollars toward your holding on
for another year, will speak to Mr.. Web
ster when / next see him, and perhaps he
will do something more for you"
So he took final leave of his valuable
farm and his interesting tenant.

Bright and balmy May has come
From Winters dark and dreary tomb,
With the fairest flowers to grace
Natures sweet and smiling face.
Now we hear the hum of bees,
And among. the leafy trees
Caroled softly all day long
The warblers' gay and merry song.
The rainbow takes its brightest hue,
The earth is bathed in sparkling dew.
'Mong whose gems the sunbeams play,
In the rosy month of May.
Then, welcome! welcome joyous May,
With sun so bright and flowers so gay;
With hum of bees, and warblers' song,
Welcome, and continue long.

Trees and Moisture.


1t has come to be at last understood that
trees are essential factors in the fruitful
ness of land. Where they have never be-
fore grown, as on the prairies, they are be-
ing planted, and where they have been
thoughtlessly destroyed it is found neces-
sary to replace them. 1t is not merely that
they assist the clouds, or in some other
way promote ranfals. They have ben
eficial effect upon the ground ofthemselves.
From recent English work, "Forests and
Moisture" by DR.. John C. Brown, the fol-
lowing brief and conclusive paragraph is
extracted: "In a rocky nook, near the
crest of mountain in the Tuscan APP
ennines, there flowed clear, cool and per
ennial fountain, uniting three distinct
springs in single current. The ancient
beeches around, and particularly above the
spring were felled. On the disappearance
OF the wood the springs ceased to flow, ex-
cept in thread of water in rainy weather,
greatly inferior in quality to that of the
old fountains. The beeches were succeed.
ed by frs, and rs soon as they had grown
sufficiently to shade the soil, the springs
began again to flow and gradually return
ed to their former abundance and quail
ty."
Analogous facts have often been observ-
ed in the American clearngs; and hence
the late revival of care for the trees and
forests. First settlers and even new pur.
chasers of old farms, are too prodigal of
the trees. Cooper, the American novelist,
in "The Pioneers" notices and protests
against this wasteful tendency. Scientific
observation finds many reasons WHY the
trees are valuable. The beneficial influen-
ces Of vegetation Gas noticed by DR.. Brown
go below the surface. Without trees the
scanty fountains in the Apennines, and all
similar fountains are mere surface water
The better water, which flows in the shade
of the trees, is filtered through the orifces
made by the roots, and thus purified. If
the European observer could see and taste
the springs in the cedar forests of New
Jersey, he would find that the water gets a
positive, and by no means disagreeable fla
vor, from the roots Of the trees. 1t is, by
residents and by summer visitors, esteemed
on that account superior to the springs
which get their flavor (often repulsive)
from minerals and metals.
Tree roots and vegetation are said to
have another office. They concentrate the
waters in streams and rils and, where
there is no drainage, in ponds. The evil
low culture" an industry pursued to fur
nish materials for baskets, actually re-
claims, to great extent, DOGGY lands
The author before us mentions case in
which plantation of trees made on the
rising borders of swamp converted the
low land into healthy soil. Here is
hint for farmers clearing low tract not so
clearly to sweep off the trees as to make
artificial drainage necessary. The progress
of inquiry into the facts of natural history
and science, pursued as practical study,
applied in mems dealings with natural
things, and turned to the removal of unnat-
ural anomalies is constantly contributing,
in practical ways, to the health and COM
fort Of humanity Ledger.

/ BARRETT AS R1cHELIEU.-Ric Richmond lasi
might again testified its high appreciation oI
the great American actor Lawrence Bar
rett. There was q full and fashionable
attendance at the Theatre The audience
was one Of the most brilliant OF q season
| that has been marked for brilliant assem-.
bIages. II was not only large and elegant
gathering. but one eminently critical and
intelligent.
The play was Bulwer's masterpiece,
Richeleu-a play which seems destined to
keep the boards forever, and which, in the
bands OF so finished an artist as Barrett, is
indeed thing OF beauty and Joy forever.
Barrett's Richelieu defes criticism, or at
least it has been so perfected that only q
very extended criticism can do it justice.
The first critics of the country have given it
the stamp OF their unqualified approval.
Richmond but reechoes the universal voice
when it declares the most lavish praise that
has been bestowed upon it deserved and
well merited.
AS the Cardinal Duke last night Mf. Bar
rett was equal to any emergency. His au-
dience was in hearty sympathy with him,
and testified their appreciation by prolonged
applause. It was performance that will
not only live as bright memory with all
who were SO fortunate as to witness it. but
will blossom in the dust OF memory's tomb.
The company supporting Mr.. Barrett is q
fair one. Miss Cumrnins, Messrs. Langdon,
Power, and others, rendered very efficient
aid to the hero OF the evening in rightly in
terpreting the language Of the great draua-
tist, and in making the night one Of plea
SAINT memories. With the fragrant recol-
lection OF the matchless Richelieu still hoy
cring over us we can afford to pardon and
overlook some shortcomings in the minor
parts, and be lenient IL not entirely Just.
Tonight Barrett appears in his grand i'm
personation of Cassius in Shakspeare's
great tragedy OF Julius Cnzar-a role in the
rendition of which he is acknowledged to
be without peer.
The play-goer who fails to see Barrett
during this engagement will deprive him
self Of the greatest Of intellectual treats,
and fail to pay tribute to one OF the great
est actors OF the age.
