to those of deep blowing, already given.
1t also opens up new source of fertility,
for the subsoil always contains many
substances needed as food for growing
crops. 1t gives deeper space for the cir
culation and retention of air and mois-
ture. 1t is akin to draining, if the sur
face is level and of such character as to
retain too much water which falls on it,
the broken subsoil let's it pass off more
freely from the surface-sOil. But on level
land, in cases where there is stratum of
stiff clay beneath the broken soil, there
will be no outlet for the surplus water,
which will remain, as in a shallow BASIN
Draining must precede subsOil blowing,
else the blowing will be of no avail. If
land is level. then subsoiling will be of lit
tie service, unless it be naturally or arti-
icially drained.
One peculiar advantage subsoiling has
over ordinary deep blowing, is that it
gives deeply pulverized mass, without
exposing upon the surface that portion
which is often unfit for such a purpose
If, for example, the subsoil is tenacious
clay, which would quickly form a hard
crust on the surface, it had best not be
turned uD; Or if it is Of lighter color than
the surface soil it would not absorb heat
SO freely, and would in that respect be in
furious.
In very many situations subsoiling need
not be resorted to. In very deep loamy
and sandy soils it is sometimes better to
run two ordinary plows, the one after the
other in the same furrow-the second
being set deeper than the first In this
way the surface and subsOil are inverted,
to some extent, Or at least completely
mingled. and where the surface has been
exhausted by long tillage, it's place is
thus supplied by fresh soil. This method
is called trench blowing.
The harrow and cultivator ares impor-
tant aids to the pillow in reducing the soil
to more completely pulverized condi-
ton; in mixing fertilizers more entirely
with it; in giving smooth surface to
plant or SOW crops, and i'll covering the
seeds of plants. The roller is an impor-
tant implement on many soils. When
light sandy soils are cultivated in wheat
or other grains, the roller is frequently
necessary to render the surface sufficiently
compact; and also in crushing clods.

Mechanical Treatment of the Soil.


treatment of the SOIL
AS sand, clay, oxide of iron, carbonate
of lime and vegetable matter make up
the body of all soils, we may reduce all
soils into six general classes. Other in
gradients, such as potash, soda, phos-
pilates and sulphates. are no less essential
to a good soil, but they generally form
only small portion of the whole mass
The classes we propose are
L. Sandy SOIL such as have at least
seventy-fve per cent. OF sand. Thequan-
THY of sand may be determined with con-
siderable accuracy by very simple means.
Dry and weigh a pound of soil, and put
it into vessel which will hold a gallon
or two of water Pour clean water over
it, and stir it up thoroughly, then pour
the water gradually off. The sand will
sink on account of it's weight. By repeat
ing the washing with portions OF clear
water, until the water passes Off clear,
the sand alone will be left, and may be
dried and weighed, and the quantity of
sand in pound of soil determined.
2. A sandy loan is soil which con-
tains fifty to seventy-five per cent. OF
sand, which may be separated and deter
mined as above
3. A clay loan has twenty-five to fifty
per cent. of sand, and the remainder
chiefly clay.
4. A clay soil has less than twenty five
per cent of sand, the remainder chiefly
clay. The dark red clay soils have large
per cent. of oxide of iron.
5. Any soil containing ten per cent. of
lime or more, may be considered limy or
calcareous soil, whether the remainder be
clay or sand, or both. To determine the
amount of carbonate of lime in the soil,
heat two ounces of we'll dried soil, on
piece of sheet iron, or in an iron ladle, till
the vegetable matter is burnt out. Then
pour over it pint of water, and add a
fluid ounce of muriatic acid. The acid will
dissolve the lime, while it will dissolve
very little else from the mass. Wash the
earth with clear water several times, take
the remainder, dry and weigh it, and the
loss will be carbonate of lime. This is but
a rude experiment, but near enough for
practical purposes.
6. peaty soil is one which contains
twenty per cent. of dark decayed vegeta-
BILE matter. Such soils are common in
low, swampy places The quantity of
peat may be determined by burning out
the vegetable matter, and ascertaining
the loss of weight.
Compactness is quality OfimpOrtance
in a soil. 1t must be sufficiently firm to
hold the roots of growing crops firmly in
place. This is especially important in
wheat or grass crops, which are exposed
to the frosts OF winter; yet it must not be
so compact that the roots cannot readily
penetrate it.
The property of absorbing and retain
ing moisture is important. Clay loans
and peaty soils absorb the largest guam
tity of moisture, and retain it best, espec-
tally those peaty soils which have large
excess of organic matter in them. Pure
clay soils are generally too compact, while
sandy soils are too loose either to absorb
or retain moisture. On level clay soil the
water will stand and become stagnant.

carbonic gas and the oxygen of the air.
! How necessary then that the soil should
be we'll plowed and well pulverized
Three points must be kept distinctly in
view in reducing soils to their proper me-
chanical condition, viz:
1. They must be well pulverized, so as
to allow the roots of plants to spread and
grow freely in every direction.
g. They must permit free circulation
of air.
g. The water which falls upon the sur
face must be readily absorbed and have
at the same time such free circulation
that any surplus moisture will pass Off
without becoming stagnant, andwithout
washing away the surface soil.
To accomplish these objects several
methods may be pursued, one or all OF
which may be employed, as the condi-
| ton OF the land, Or other circumstances,
may require. We will only describe the
methods best adapted to the farming
operationsin our own country. The most
common and most economical means of
giving a soil it's proper mechanical condi-
ton, is blowing. The history of the world
shows that nations have prospered just
in proportion to the skillful use they have
| made of the pillow. If two men, with equal
force and capital, are placed on contigu-
Gus farms of equal size and fertility, they
| will prosper very much as they pillow. The
| one who scratches the surface to the
depth of two or three inches, will soon
| find both his farm and himself growing
poor, while the one who breaks his land
| up to the depth of ten Or twelve inches,
will soon find it necessary to "pull down
his barns and build greater"
Deep blowing is absolutely necessary on
| almost every farm, in order to obtain
the highest profit from the soil. The rea-
sons for this can berendered plain enough
| for any mind to understand in few SEN
fences. The space in depth to which the
roots OF crops penetrate, and from which
| they derive their food is usually limited
| by the depth to which the pillow has run.
Beneath that point, especially in clay
soils, the roots make none or but little
progress. The unbroken subsoil witch is
compound of clay, is not easily Penetrated
! by rains Hence, after the plowed mass
becomes saturated, the surplus water es-
capes over the surface, carrying off the
most valuable portions of the SOIL and
leaving unsightly gullies behind. Deep
blowing tends to prevent washing
A deeply broken soil is storehouse for
moisture. keeping moisture in reserve for
seasons of drouth. When the sun, the
air and the growing crops have taken up
the surface moisture, some of the roots
are still deep down in the earth, where the
supply is abundant. In a deep broken
soil great deal of moisture rises to the
surface by capillary attraction, it brings
with it elements of fertility in solu ton,
and as the evaporation at the surface
goes OH, these are left to aid in enriching
| the surface SOIL A drOuth may thus
improve land which has been properly
plowed.
The subsoil pillow is designed to follow
the ordinary surface pillow in the furrow
left by the latter By this means the bot
tom of the furrow is broken and pulver-

BUT YOU MISREPRESENT.

The Wichita EAGLE is appalled, by the
magnitude of the figures involved in n
service pension and says the country can't
do it. This country has q record for doing
impossible things-Emporia Republican.
The EAGLE didn't say any such thing.
1t simply asked how it was 10 be done
without burthening the producers and
consumers of this country by the add,-
ton OF enormous duties and taxes. and
it asked the question in all good faith.
1t may be entirely feasible, and If SO we
are for it. The statement that there is a
hundred millions of surplus gold. how
over. lying IN the treasury is not true,
but even if true this vast amount would
last less than ten months. The pro-
posed issue Of three hundred millions of
greenbackS, or treasury notes, would
last but wenty-seven OF twenty-eipht
months. There may be some way de-
vised for steady flow of one hundred
millions or more per annum into
the treasury OF the United States over
and above what is now collected. and

then are we for it. 1t would DOUBTLESS
result in war prices and flush times. at
least for the first two or three years. and
also result in the west receivingan eouit-
able share of monies paid out bv the
treasury, which the west does not now
nor never has received. However. we
agree with the Republican in its state
ment that this country can do about
