peen or SHALLOW PIowinp

There are two conditions of soil which
are not benefited by deep blowing these are
such as have sterile subsoil and those
which are porous below. A sterile subsoil
does not benefit the richer top soil by inter
mixture with it, and porous subsoil does
not need loosening. But soil rich above
and poor and imperyious below, may be
much improved for withstanding the effects
of severe droughts by subsoiling and loos-
ening to some hepth to receive like sponge
the heavy rains which fall upon it, and to
give out from this reservoir the needed
moisture TO growing crops whea droughts
stances. A row Of potatoes
planted over covered ditch
yielded double the crop given from
either of the adjacent rows, the quality of
the soil being the same; but the loosened
earth over the ditch prevented the effects Of
the severe drought which affected the ad-
Joining rows.
This instance occurred where the subsoil
possessed no unusual fertilzing quality, the
benefit arising from its acting as sponge or
reservoir for moisture, as well as for the
deeper extension of the roots. But in very
large portions of the country, a great posi-
tive benefit has been found by bringing up
and mixing portions of the subsoil with the
earth at the surface. A farmer in one Of
the western counties of the state, in pre-
pairing the land for wheat, set the plow TO
run two inches deeper than the blowing in
previous years. The result was that his
wheat crop was increased eight or ten
bushels on an average. A still more strik-
ing instance occurred on another occasion,
the benefit of an intermixture of the sub
soil with the surface. An open ditch had
been cut through field to drain a small
pond. The earth taken from the ditch was
scattered over the surface for rod or two
on each side. The field was then sown in
wheat. The subsequent winter was very
severe on the crop, and the following sum
mer proved unusually favorable. On most
of the field the product cid not average
over five bushels per acre-it was scarcely
worth cutting. The two strips ION each
side Of the ditch OH which the subsoil was
spread, yielded at the rate of twenty
bushels per acre. This contrast was not
owing to the drainage effected by the
ditch, as the soil aud subsoil of much of the
field rested on gravel and had a natural
drainage

Cnarges In Farming.

The Petersburg Iiadec-Appedt says that
the tendency of the times in farming cir
Giles is to get more of the open land in past
ure and grass, and devote less to summer
cultivation. In slavery times. when labor
was abundant and had to earn its board, the
custom was to nave large areas plowed and
hoed crops. and little or none at all to grass.
For pasturage, if stock we're pastured at
all. the fields in cultivation last year were
left to rest this, and the stock, what little
there was, perhaps a mich COW or two and
a few sheep. were turned in to Craze.
But now labor has to be hired, and is
scarce, and getter scarcer every year The
s.new issue" darby does not take lovingly
TO farming, and many of the old regime that
remain are farming on their own account.
Farmers cannot get the amount CT labor
necessary to carry on farming on broad
scale in the old way. Some do manage to
keen up a respectable show of ''help" about
them, but they oftener find it more expen-
sive than profitable, for the darby is slow
and law. and will shirk and will eat.

Raising the Hat.
From the London TELEGRAPH.

ANSfteN't
On the proper method of performing that
salutation known as ''raising the hat" there
have always prevailed rather conflicting
opinions in France. Sometimes Ftench-
men lifted their hats in three distinct mo-
lions, carefully performed; at other times
they removed them with sweeping and
somewhat rounded gesture. A cer5ai /
Comte de Lartnandie, in his so-called phys
Illogical study of the Fanbourg st. German
for the year 1889, has now laid down rules
respecting the coup de chapedu which ara
based on the precedents furnished by the
most modern and most fashionable members
of the very best society in the city. The
man of fashion, according TO the count,
must now remove his hat in saiuti with
broad sweeping gesture which is at the
same time elegant and brusque The hat,
having remained well aloft for while,
must be brought down on the head quickly
like sword into its scaDblrd. The person
saluting should preserve an impassive coun-
tenance as much as possible While goir z
through his elegant evolusions, hut tt Q
count does not find fault wit a little smi
on the features, the said simpering move
ment beng either patronizing or familiar,

Plant Strawberries.

Although the strawberry, considered as a
food, says James G.. Baird in the American
Rural Home, is not rated as very nutri-
tious, as it's Office is not one of nutrition,
but that of supplying beneficial vegetable
| acids to the system, diluted aud favored by
sugar, and delicate fruit flavor, which
makes it so tempting aud delicious. 1t is
not so much food, then, as an appetizer, so
to term it, hence is a very important in
promoting healthy tone in the system.
And considering the pleasure and gratifica-
ton which is derived from this fruit, to
say nothing of its more solid benefits, and
| the little labor required to produce it, is it
not very strange that so many families do
without it?
1t requires but small piece of ground on
which to produce as many berries as most
families would need; and the care and at
tention required to cultivate them not
great. Besides the berries one can grow on
his own ground or garden, are worth twice
as much to him as those he buys. Because
no money is paid out for them, they are-or
may be-ripe, fre,h, and at home with the
| mornings fresh dew and fragrance upon
them. And this difference is considerable,
when contrasted with those one has SO often

Minaral Manure.

A correspondent desires some information
upon the so-called mineral" manures, and
asks wherein their action is different from
such as stable manure, cotton seed and the
like.
To state it as briefly as possible, when any
organic matter, stalk of corn with its
ear, say, or a mature cotton stock with its
hollis is burned the palpable residue con-
sists of small quantity of ash matter that
could not be burned away. This Is the
mineral matter that was diffused through
out the entire plant, and was taken up from
the soil while in solution with the water
that was taken up by the plant 1t constl-
tutes the skeleton or bone work of the plant,
somewhat as the bones of animals consti-
tute a framework for the deposit of flesh.
A plant or animal cannot exist without
such framework.
When the plant is burned all the vegeta-
bic matter goes off into the atmosphere as
so much smoke. This matter is composed
mostly of carbon. Whatever water was in
the vegetable matter existed as oxygen and
hydrogen in combination. A small proper
tlon OF nitrogen was also dispelled, along
with these. This existed, also. disffused, like
ash, throughout every part of the vegetable
matter in minute quantity. Any manure
that restores to the soil olly that part that
made up the ash of the plant is styled min
eral manure.
The proportion of ash or mineral matter
IN various vegetable substances varies
greatly. For instance. it would require
nearly ten thousand pounds Of lint cotton to
make when burned 100 pound of ashes, but
In 1000 pounds of oat straw there is that
weight of ashe.
1t would require about <125 bushels of
corn to make 100 pounds Of ashes.
Among the commonest vegetable sub
stances tsoacco leaves contain the largest
proportion of ash, 500 pounds OF the air-dry
leaves yielding over 100 pounds Of ASH

Not only are white men getting out with
negro labor as unsatisfactory. and reducing
operations to a more moderate scale. but
the negro, too. is gradually emigrating from
the farm to other callings.
The farmer must needs, therefore, adopt a
system that will do away with the necessity
for much labor. So IL is that the farmers,
if..they do not reduce the sizs of their farms.
are at least trying to get more Of them I'M
der grass cultivation and more in grazing
land for stock. And this, beyond any
doubt, is the proper course. IL is best il
many respects. 1t puts the forage supply
at home. 1t utilities all the land; i: saves
many items of expense before incurred in
the cultivation, manuring and harvesting
the larger area. IL concentrates manure
and renders the land more fertile. 1t saves
in risks to the crops; it saves time. These
are important gains. Farmers have been
wearing out their physical frames blowing
and hoeing necessarily. They have had too
little time for resting. The whole farm had
to be plowed over, and it took all their time
to do it.
The new system is bringing them relief.
It is not such drain upon their purse, their
strength and their resources. Farming is
made pleasanter, and it is certainly as
profitable as in the olden time. We like
the change. 1t will work good. 1t will
not drive so many men from the farm We
shall have better farms and more of them.
More land in grass and pasturage, less in
cotton, tobacco and titled crops. Don't
worry any more about labor, but make the
farm work itself by grazing and grass.
