On the effects of stirrinf: the surface of the
earth as a relief against drought.
This is a irite subjeci, and one, which
we are aware has been long since settled
by intelligent cultivators it» all cauntrie>.
It is very familiar to gardeners, and the
cause of the superior production of gar
dens over field culture, may be attributed
in part to the more frequent ajjplication
of the hoc and spade. Yet it is true that
great number of farmers deny the pro
position, and disapprove the practice.
They think it dantjerous to plough and
hoe ill the time of extreme drought and
leat, Nvhile our own experience of 20 years
nus convinced us that it is much superior
as a remedy against drought than watcr-
ing4n the litiiiied manner, in which that
must always be applied. The»e has ne
ver l)pen a season in our memory ii» wliich
mere was a greater necessity for the ap
plication of all remedies against droughts
thiiii the j)resent. The drought was not
only of longer duration, but i; took place
when the plants were least able to jenisi
it, not having sent their roots in cjuest of
rio'jrishmeni far, wide and deep. The

may be owing to its preseiiting a much
greater surface to the moist an of the
night. The lact, however, w hirli is whit
most concerns its, is settled. Perhaps some
of the rxpenments of our distinguished
countryman. Dr. Wells, a physician of
London, who rendered himself conspicu
ous by his remarks on dew, may tend to
explkin this fact, though it is not my pur
pose now to examine the theory.
Every man who feels an interest in the
question, can s.>usfy himself at once by
stirring a small piece of the earth, in a
time of severe drought, and if he does not
find it in the morning more filled with
moisture, .than the undisturbed ground
in its vicinity, let bun continue a disbe
liever.
But there is another mode, and it is one
which I have never seen suggested, by
which I appreliend the stiri ingot the sur
face, and making it ligiit and pq.rcus, is
beneficial in great droughts. It is this-:
light porous bodies arc bad conductors «d
heat; perhaps because they have inore
air between their inlerstices. The facts
are familiar to us. Metallic bodies ac
quire an intense heat undei- the rays of tin
Sim, so do stones in proporiion lo their
density, 'i’he earth, when very compact,
will beconu* exceeditigly hot; but garden
loam, which is very poi utis, remains cool
utnoon-day, two inches below the surface.
1 believe, therefore, that moving the sui-
lai e, and keeping it in a light and poi ou-
slate, enal)les it to re.uat the heat of the sun'n
runs, thal the air between the particles oi
earlli communicates the heat more slow
jv, than tiie particles themselves do when
111 close col/tart.
Siich is my theory ,- but I am an enemy
