FLOWING DEEP.

All soils can not be treated alike.
and because one farmer finds it best
to pillow deep should not be accepted
by every one as conclusive evidence
that deep blowing is the best under
all circumstances, and especially is
this the case where shallow blowing
has heretofore been the rule.
1t is not a good plan, in all ground
especially, that has been plowed
shallow for a number of years, to all
at once bring several inches of sub
soil to the surface in which to plant
a crop. And yet this would not i'm
ply that if properly done deep plow-
ing would not be more profitable.
Either one of two plans should be
followed. The blowing should be
deepened gradually, or, if plowed
deep Tor the first time, the work
should be done a considerable time
ahead, so as to give the different
elements time to act upon the soil.
1t the land is plowed deepin the fall
tor the first time usually by spring
it will be in fit condition for plant
ing, or if plowed in spring it can be
sown in the fall. But some soils
should not be plowed deep, even
when this plan is followed; while
with others the deeper it is turned
the better.
The character of the soil should
largely determine the kind of plow-
ing should be done, and land that
has been previously cultivated, if
deep blowing is the best, should be
done, and land that has been pre-
viously cultivated, if deep blowing
is the best, should be deepened
gradually, turning up a little sub
soil blowing, until a great depth has
been stirred. Generally, if done
properly, deep blowing and shallow
preparation and cultivation will be
found the best; and deeply stirred
foil will be able to stand moisture
better than when only plowed shall
low. So that when the character of
the soil will admit, the better plan
is to pillow deep and thorough, tax
ing care to do the work in good
season.
The action of the light, heat, cold,
rain,snow and air is to render avail
able plant food that is already in the
soil, and if the subsoil, is brought
to the surface in this way in.suffic-
lent time to be acted upon by these
the work can be done with benetit.
But before blowing deep, under
stand the character of the soil, and
know that it will stand deep stir

the day is not far distant when the
salt and fresh water marshes of
Southern Georgia will be reclaimed
and brought under cultivation.
They are OF inestimable fertility and
the reclamation and cultivation of
salt water marsh is not experiment
al. 1t has been successful in this
country. 1t has been done in Geor-
gia. AS the country develops, as
land becomes dearer, these lands,
which can be reclaimed at less cost
than the cost of cleaning timber
lands for cultivation, will attract
the attention of capitalists, and
vast fortunes will be m ade in their
reclamation and cultivation.

LOBSTER AND COZ CULTURE.

4 New Departure in the Propagation of

II is very probable thGt unless we have
resort TO artificial culture TO repleniSh
cur lobster fisheries there viii be a
marked decline in Nova Scotia's output
during the next few years. Alreldy
Newfoundland is ahead of Us in this
branch Of fish culture, for under the
management Of Adolph Nielsen, Nor
wegian expert, the ancient colony has
taken new departure in the propaga-
ton of cod and Holsters. In a recent
article Rev. Moses Harvey writes that
the fish hatchery on the shore Of Trinity
bay is the largest in che world for the
propagation of Goldfish and Holsters, and
capable of Matching 500, 10000 of cod
and 200, 900 eco Holsters in a single sea-
son.
A single mother lobster can stow away
no less than 20. 900 eggs. and she carries
these about with her until they are n
pened and Matched. The lobster trapper
takes these mother fish and carries them
TO the factory, where they are thrown
into boiling water. and of course the eggs
are destroyed The quantity Of lobster
ova that perish in this way is beyond
all calculation, and is one great cause Of
depleted fisheries.

male lobster at the factories before they
are boiled. and with sort OF spoon con

The newest game for indoor recreation
takes the form Of an Information party,
and according to rules given in Golden
Days is played as follows: Begin by giving
90 each boy card and to the girls small
pieces of paper, which should be mum Oered
from one up to the number Of girls in the
game. The boys then write a number on
their cards, and those who discover the
same number on their cards and paper are
partners for the game.
Each couple must think OF question,
sensible or ridiculous, historical or in re-
gard to the weather, TO be written on the
cards, after which the cards are TO be
gathered together, and the leader reads
each in turn, giving few moments for
the partners to consider the subject and
write the answer, which should be read
aloud in turn. This is where the fun
of the game begins, as many Of the answers
are exceedingly queer.
