THOROUGH TILLAGE
Tho fl In win; remarka, which we cull Cram
one uf our exchanget. ara alike applicable to
the garden and the field. We have mure
lhan once adverted to (he subject of deep til
late, and do su again because we know that
it ia a matter that cannot be too r.ftrn im
pressed upon the mind. The latal fault with
moat young gardeners i, that of commencing;
to plant without a due regard to the prepa
ration of the noil. Many aow with a view
of doing afterwards that which should have
been attended to belore that is to say, they
will work a place wide enough to receive
the seed, and depend on fintkiiing the work
after the plants have come up; others believe
that if they woik immediately around the
plant they are doing all that is required
another cuas account themselves brst rate
garilenera if they keep their vegetables fret
il weeds. All this mav hate done well to
the time of Adam, but wo go upon a differ
ent theory now, and that is, never to put a
seed in the ground until it is broken op as
lar down as tools and strength can go but
read the lollnwtng: '
We have several timet endeavored to im
nreas upon our agricultural friends, the poli
cy ol pitching no larger crops lhan they can
till well. The old cuttom of arratching over
large surface, ia ruinout alike to the farmer
and the land he cultivates. It sounda well.
we admit, to say that a certain man has so
many acres in corn, snd so many in wheat
and rye and oat, but tl by concentrating his
labor and resources hit neighbor produces
double the qusntity of grain on hlf the num
ber of acre, the letter ia witer ami more ecu
mimical of the two, and will be able to hw
the largeat return in pro6t at the end of the
seaton. Whenever operation are carried on
upon an extensive scale, either there must
be corresponding nl torce to j
and a cortenponding increase in the
of manure and fertilizers ned, or the cul
ture will be slovenly and the product far be-
l.iw what it ought to be. Now, with a com
petent force and thorough tillage upon a lim
ited area, the perfect manner in which the
toil it worked and placed to a condition to
be acted upon by atmospheric influences,
will enable the farmer to obtain excellent
nope and to maintain hit land in good con
dition, bv the addition n one hall of the ma
nure or fertilizers which he would find it
nrcetear to apply tn the eame anil under
other circumstances. DVer the svttera of
thallow ploughing and rarelett after culture,
there is not only great Inns of the fertilizing
mailers applied tn the s il, bv (be etrape ol
their volatile gattes, but also in consequence
of the imperlect manner in hich they are
incorporated with the soil
Jethro Tull'a once famous theory waa that
manuring might be abandoned altogether, if
the land waa iieeply ploughed and kept well
and frequently stirred timing the growing
seaton ol the 'plants which bad been needed
upon it. Ilia extraordinary sucreat won over
many converts to hi doctrine, ami for
number of years those who practiced on the
new system found their crops largely in
creased. The avstent of husbandry practiced at I.oi
Weeden, Kniilaiid, it bated upon a similar
theory, but is carried out etea more thor
oughlv and ej.icniatii ally.
At Lois W redon, the spade has superset!
ed the plough, and the crops are seeded in
alternate strips throughout the entire Geld,
the strips which are lilt fallow this year be
ing seeded down the year following; but da
ring ihe growing teaton all the fiflil i work
ed alike. In heavy compact clav, like thoe
of Lois Weedon, this complete dinimegra
tioa nf the soil to a depth cnii'iderably be
yond that which is u.u.Hf reached by the
plough, has enabled the enihueiatic eiperi
metitalitt to rne forty or more i-uaheU of
wheat to the acre upon the tame land for a
turceaoion of year, and without any aenat
bie diminution in the product, and th,,,ii Mock, when no older than the 100 and
the addition of anv manure whatever. It is
rssy to understand hy this thould be so.
The Lois Weedon clays, though intractable
under the plough, are naturally very lerule,
and when compfetrlv pulverized under the
syttem of spade husbandry which ha been
adopted, are not only rendered susceptible
In atmospheric influences, but readily yield
op their soluble constituents to the wants of
ihe growing plants.
So long as a due proportion nf those con
stituents is contained in the soil, the crops
will continue to be good, hut each succeed
ing Crop darins the soil of a certain portion
of them, and the time must tome a lew
ears hence perhaps when fertilizer will
be required to restore Ihe wssfe, or other'
wise the land will become gradually barren
from exhaustion. Bui although the theory;
la pushed loo Tar, the lesion which has tho
been taught is an minor tint one. It shows
the value of thorough tillnge, and indicates
ihe manner in which certain sod reported
to be sterile can be at leat improved, and
perhaps, with the aid nf little mannre, be
rendered capable of bearing heavy crop.1
f tin not plough deep enough, or tilt assid
uously enough. We lay ton little slre up
on the value of atmospheric influence, and
forget tht the motr tomplfiely, in our hot
summer climate, the toil is loosened to a con-
siderable depth, the more assuredly it will be
cspsble of storing tip a supply of moisture to
carry the crop in a vigorous condition through
a drought which would utterly destroy the
hopes of the farmer under tne oia system ot
shallow ploughingand indifferent after cul
ture, '' -
" C0MPO8T FOR CORN LAND. '
.Swamp muck, 'when more convenient to
the proposed cornfield than to the barn yard,
may be com potted there to aave hauling
the heit of compost at auch dittan.ee t in
the field aa may be easy lor distribution,
thirtr to fifty load a in each heap composed
of alieroste lay era of four to sx inches of
swamp muck and farmyard manure. (W ith
bre or sheep manure, or other atrong sta
ble manure, where grain or roots have been
fed to the atock, you may put at least two
parts of muck to one ol manure; but yard
manure being coaraer and not ao atrong and
a-tive, will not Dear more tnan equal pane
of muck with it. In either case, however,
some hat larger quantitiet of muck in pro
portion to manure may be uteu, provided the
muck has previously lain a year or more in a
pile on dry land, to drain, diaintegrate, and
in a measure part with ita acidity.) ."The
piles should be laid up as lightly as possible,
and the height should not he more than about
five reft, lebt the bottom courses should be
to comprestcd to hett and ferment well "
the object being to sweeten and decompose
the muck, a wtll as ferment the manure;
and if pmperlr laid, the piles wtll soon be
gin to heat. Mr. 11. has " made op heaps of
tin kind as late aa the nth of April, over
hauled them in two or three weeka after, and
had them fit for use by the 10th of May,"
and the labor of thia " overhauling or shav
eling over the piles ten daya or a fortnight
before they are ued, he cniders amply re
paid " in the superior fineness and anectK'e-
nes thereby imparted to the manure." tie
think it alio "far better economy to com
post green manure than to use ft to any great
extent alone."
" At the suitable time in spring plow your
green sward nine or ten inches deep, say
with a sod and suhtoil plow, if the land ia
free enough of obstructions to permit the ose
of that kind of plow; if not, then uses large
enough plow of the common green sward
form, to acro-nplibh that depth of furrow.
The plowing should be accurately and nice
ly executed, making the furrows meet and
uatify. il j niatch well, and shutting the sod down be
s amount '",ath, securely out of reach of subsequent
tillage. I hen spread the compost oroaucast
on the surface of the plowed land, putting it
on aa liberally as you r neaps will allow ; plow
it in about lour inches deep with a light,
sharp plow, guaged to the right depth by a
wheel on the beam. I hie incloses the ma
nure perfectlv with mellow earth, which bv
ita mellownesa abtorbs and holds the good
ness of the manure, and yet the com pott is
in a situstion to be immediately, as well as
at all other times, available to the growing
crop, and to receive suitable atmospheric to
fluences to promote a perfect decomposition,
and to enliven and improve ihe upturned soil."

From lb Rural Gentlemen,
HOGS FOR POKIC
Being in company with several planfen of
Hind, at our county aite, I am gratified in
being: able to say to our Irllow-citurns gen
erally, that there are quite a number of our
citizrna who are now feeding hoga for a sup
ply of pork. This is altogether proper, for
hogs will latten Taster and on lets load in
October than ordinarily in November or in
December, becauae November and December
ia cold enough to require food to keep up
heal. I think smaller hog are taken up thao
bas been heretofore, and if a proper feeding,
the deficit in quantity needed will be less
thsn anv of us have counted upon. As to
my own exertion, I think my prospect is lair
lor a surplus of a few thousand pounds, and I
have my calculations upon facts. Many who
have seen my pigs des'gned f r pork are in
credulous tiiat 1 can put down pork at 150
to 250 pounds each, becsuse, first, they have
never fed Suffolk, Eex, &c. and their
criu-et; and secondly, they have never tried
feeding young stock at all. I am as certain
about the age of pig killed aa of my own
Inted daughter, and am positive that I nave
killed nig at 1 1 month old to average net!
210 pound. 1 know I have weighed pig
again and again, to gain from I to U pound
per day. I have killed twenty to upward
oter I now have in feeding, and they weigh
ed from 15 to over 50 pounds each.
Admit there are hogs about our country,
and I saw last week over 250, this dy about
200, that cannot be made to neigh from 150
to 3()0 pounda when even ait months older
thn the oldest of mine, but they have been
neglected, and they are of a breed, if to be
called a breed at all, that will not thrive fast,
or give a god result from good (erd, but
this no reason why the Essex t twelve
months old will not give COO pounds of potk.
I care r.ot for the money value, whether I
sell pig or not. I heard to-day of a sale in
this county where hogs not possibly nettim
200 pounds to aril from 120 to K7 each;
this i over my price, I let a friend have a
lot of brood sows that t will guarantee I can
spay, feed and aalt down at Irotn $00 to iTS
pounds, and I will not get the above extreme
prices some of lha sows farrowing since
tale. A man can make more money oat of
a three months pig than I5, and tl I cared
lor dimes alone, 1 would not sell. ', P.
DON'T Til INK. .
Walking in th country on morning, in
early spring-time, we seated ourselves to
rest en a Urge stntie near are orchard gate.
Very soon we observed a large man hanging
to the topmost limb of a smsll apple tree by
one band, while with the other he was cut
ting on twigs and branche. We bade him
good morniug. i He answered cheerfully., and
we ventured to hint that the tree hie had
climbed bore a heavy burden. "Yen," he
Laaid, " the trees all need pruning, but I can
only attend to a lew ol them, ilia other
would not bear my weight."
"Why don't you, fasten your w to a
pole, stand upnn the ground, ad prune such
trees aa most require it?? we asked.
Well, I declare," he answered, " that
would do I didn't think of it."
There waa a vaUabl leston in that con
fession, I didn't think of it." It explain
ed why, in many respects the farmer was
not protprroiM.' He was a hard worker. He
endeavored to be ecnnomiral, but he was al
ways behind. His orchard didn't yield a
bundantly ; bia cattle had disease; his grain
waa often poor, and he could onlv self at a
low price because he didn't think. He hail
never learned forethought; he did not know
what it was to consider; he did not under
stand how judicious head-work asbiatshand
work.
Don't think !' that is the sorry expla
nation of much error, of many a crime, nf a
rrilure, ol many a hartuhip, and many an
buse.
Little boys and girU, bear in mind that
whatever advantage you may hare at home,
in school, in nusines or sncietv, unlets vim
think, your lives will be aid and your effort
unsuccessful. Learn, then, while you are
young, the art of thinking. To be great ami
good you inuat understand ihe art i reflec
tion, as well as appreciate the pleasure ol
memory.
SUDDEN DEATHS.
Dr. Hall, in hia Journal ol Health," sayt
that very few of the eu'ldeo deaths which are
ssid to arise from disease of the heart do
really ariae from that cause. To ascertain
the real origin ol sudden deaths, tha Doctor
says, the eiperiment has been tried in Ka-
rope and repnrtra to a scientific congret
held at Sirasburgh. 6ixty-six rases of sud
den death were niade the subjects uf a tho
rough post mortem examination. In these
eases only too were found who died from
disease of the heart. Nine out of the anty
six died from apoplexy, while there were forty-six
rases ol congestion of ue luua; thai
ta, the lunga were so full of blood lliey could
not work, there not being room enough fur a
sufficient quantity of air to enter to support
lite. 1 he Doctor goes on to enumera e the
causes that may produce congestion of lungs.
1 bey are: cold leet ; ttht shoes; tij;hi cloth
ing; costiveneos; sitting still until chiUet
through alter being warmed bv iaiMr or a
rapid walk ; going too suddenly IVo o a cine
heated room into the cold air, ejH'ti4uj al
ter speaking; and tuddeu deprean,g news of articles of prime aod indispensable oeces

when ea h tucceetling price current notes an
' advancing tendency in most of these arti
cles, we append (he following anecdote,
which is said to have occurred about the
time of the firt revolution.
Two fanners were chosen deacons of the
church, and their obituaries have since as
serted thst they adorned their profession.'
juat at tne clone ot the war the district in
hich they lived was viated by a grievous
famine, and the farmers were generally keep
ing ineir corn tor tne contingencies ot ihe
future. Thoie who could offer no other ex
cute for refuainr to sell, were keeping it
for teed !' A poor man in the vicinity went
to one of tlteiie deacons and said:
"1 have come to buy a buhel of eorn.
Here is the money ; it is about all I can gath
er." The good deacon told hint he could not f
spare a bushel for love nor money. He waa '
even stinting his own family in order to
have a large supply for seed! The poor
man insisted urging that his family were
even then suffering from want of bread
but all in vain. At last he said" Deacon,
if you do not let me have the corn 1 shall
curse you." '
"Curse me !" replied the deacon, "how
dare vou do a thing so wicked ?"
" because," said the man, " the Bible
says so."- .......,.
"Nonsense," exclaimed the deacon,
" there is no such thing in the Bible."
" xes there is," replied the poor man.
" Well," said the deacon, " if you can
find such a text I'll give you a bushel of
cum.
They went to the house, and taking down
the family Bible the poor man turned to
Proveras eleventh chapter and twenty-sixth
verse, and read: "He that withnoldeth
corn, the people shall curse him; but bless
ings shall be upnn the head that selleth it."
The deacon was fairly caught, and taking
the man to the corn-crib gave him a full
bushel. As he helped him to put it on hia
ahoulder, he told his poor neighbor to "go
over to Deacon Clark, and curse him out of
a bushel!"
Will not somebody take a Bible In hand,
and visit the speculators in various staples
of army and domestic necesity on a similar
mission! AWWro Flddtnifiruidt.
THE M0NEV-CRABBER8 IN WAR TIMES.
As winter approaches the prospect becomes
more immediate of great and bitter suffering
among the poorer classes, not on account of
any protiration of business, but solely on ac
count of the combinations and extortions
practiced by speculators to sdvance the prices
-jiering ot its victims, on one band, or the
gloated wealth of its rapitaiieta and managers
on the other. These men are making their
wealth out of the blood ol their couotry. The
j money-grabbers in war times seem not to
! care tor man or devil. Ilia iron box is gorg-
,nl with go d and silver, and this is the Ark
