ton and pulverization of the soil is
concerned. tho later the breaking up

heavy clay soils, if plowcd very early,
will soon run together by the heavy
rains of the early months of the year,
and be in but little better condition

experienced farmer has said that if it
were practicable TO do so he would pre-

has excited great deal of incrcdulity,
but there is nothing really improbable
in 1t. From the sixteenth century to
our own day there is hardly any form
of torture that has not been inflicted
on girls, and endured by women, in
obedience to the dictates of an I'M
reasonable and monstrous fashion. I'm

Indeed, instances of absolute mutila-
