"The New Agriculture"

Western Reserve Correspondence Country Gentleman.
Among the noticeable things during this trip
was a visit to a gentleman who. on limited
scale, is experimenting with the new agricult-
urea patented system that Is now being more
or less ridlculed commended by the press.
This gentleman has large and well-cultivated
lot of small fruits and vegetables, and at differ
emit parts of the lot he has dug deep trenches
and partially filled them with stone, over which
something was placed to keep the earth from
getting in among them, and then the remaining
fifteen inches of the ditch was filed up with
soil. The plants and vegetables over and
along these trenches showed remarkable
growths as compared with the truck
further away. On clay soils these trenches
may be made very effective to hold water for the
plants to draw upon, especially in such dry
years as the present one; but the expense of
trenching and filling for an acre of land must,
to take the gentlemans own figures, closely APP
proach ST., 900 per acre. This expense puts it
into the domain of fancy farming to be played
at by bankers and capitalists who farm
for fun instead of owning yachts and white ele-
plants.
That this 'snew agriculture 10 not humbug
is evident, as the luxuriant crops about the
trenches show. but it's value in very wet year
: is quite another matter The gentleman was of
the opinion that if the surface were kept at
proper levels to discharge surface water rapidly,
the trenches would absorb and hold the IN
der surface moisture and not require under
draining. Another point that argues against
the system as of universal application, is the
fact that it can only be used on soils that have
hard, waterproof subsoil, for the whole system
is based upon the trenches holding water like a
reservoir to tide over drought or dry spell. In
sandy soil, the water would percoate through
and below the trenches, and thus defeat the OBJ
iect of the reservoir plan Its cost will initiate
against its general Introduction but, on limited
scale, it may be made to do wonders in vegetable
growth. if the specimens shown US are samples
Of its working. The plan or system is very like
the muck farms of Berea, o., where the natural
water-line comes up within about two feet of the
surface, aud dryish summer is rather to be de-
sired than feared by the onion-growers.

INDIANAPoLIs Aug "a.
Reports from all the most important trade
centers, more especially in the West show that
the volume of business is steadily increasing. In
many ways this statement can be readily sub
Stimulated Clearinghouse statistics, so far as
they represent the relative proportions of actual
business in progress, afford satisfactory proof
that the payments made through banks, outside
the centers Of speculative activity are generally
expanding from week to week, while the steady
absorption of merchandise from all the primary
sources of supply, together with the absence of
any over accumulation of stock, is the best evil
dence of the healthy character and satisfactory
condition of the general trade movement The
conservative buying that has been in progress
for many months. and the fact that dealers have
been carrying light stocks, is beginning to bear
fruit. for which the assurance of good crops and
the unquestioned progress of the country in ma
terial wealth and industrial prosperity, the re-
buyers have more confidence in replenishing
their supplies. In tae principal markets upon
the eastern seaboard the trade movement is also
slowly increasing, ana wnlie the Improvement is
not of radical character in any department.
the enlarging proportions of general trade are
plainly visible. Locally, to-day, there were no
changes of Importance. The coffee market
maintains its strong position, and an advance of
one-fourth of a cent on roasted grades is fully
established. Sugars, as well. are frmer. al
though prices are unchanged. Other staple ar
ticles in the grocery line tend higher. and this
rather stimulates trade. In the produce mar
kets there is good deal of activity. Produce
comes in literally and the shippers show dis
position to make the best of the low prices they
are obliged to sell at Eggs and poultry are
both firm at our quotations. The increased de-
mand indicates further advance in prices Re-
ceipts are, comparatively speaking, light, bnt
have increased somewhat since prices have inn
proved. The hide market is fairly active, but

 Gold-beaters, by hammering, can re- duce gold leaves so thin that two hun dred and eighty-two thousand must be lad upon each other to produce the thickness of an in inch, yet each leaf is so perfect and free from holes that one of them, laid on any surface, as in gild- ing. gives the appearance of solid gold. They arc so thin that if formed into a book, twelve thousand would only oc- cupy the space of single leaf of com mon paper; and an octave volume of an inch thick would have as many pages as the books of q well-stocked liLrarv of one thousand five hundred volumes, with four hundred pages in each Still thinner than this is the coating of gold upon the silver wire of what is called gold lace. Platinum and silver can be drawn in wire much finer than human hair. A grain of blue vitriol or car mine will tinge a gallon of water so that in every drop the color may be perceived. A grain of musk will scent a room for twenty years, and will Tn that period have lost little of its weight. A burning taper uncovered for single instant, during which it does not lose one thousandth part of grain, would fill with light sphere four miles in diameter, so as to be visl- ble in every part of it. The thread of the silk-worm is Sc small that many of them are twisted together to form our finest sewing thread; but that of the spider is finer still, for two drachms of it by weight would reach four hundred miles. In water in which vegetables have been infused, the microscope dis covers anlmalcule of which many thou sands together do not equal a grain of sand; and yet nature, with a singular prodigality, has supplied many of these with organs as complete as those of the whale or of the elephant, and their bod ies consist of the same substance, ultl- mate atoms, as that of man himself. In a single pound of such matter there are more living creatures than of human beings on the face of the globe.-M. K ChTiStiGn AdUOcIte.
