W all knows that a eerta'm i(iiatitity of moisture in the toil is essential to vegetation. We knew, too, that an excess of it is prejudicial. Hot owr notions of what constitutes an excess are very vague. Almost the only lands that arc drained, with us, are meadows when the water Maude nearly or quite at tlie top yf the soil. .Says pro fessor Johnston, in hie excelifut work on Agri4 cultural Chemistry, "Among the merely mechan ical methods, by whuh4hose changes are to lie Lruduced iiHin the soil which, are to tit it for the etter growth of valuuhle. crops, draining it now atloiMd to hold the Jii-it place. That Kw an npuiiam step in heavy clay soils, and that it tfoicf before Heeding, "ivnrj farmer should Know,'' says he, na eight jdo ings Iwfore seed ing is more profitable than a less number." Vhy is garten more fertile than the field ? Do you say liecause. tho soil is richer ? . It may lie some richer, hut the prime reason is that tliesoil of the itaroVn is more finely tatlterijed.

If the soil of the field w as as carefully work ed, and fee sh earth couxtantlv exiioacd to the atmosphere, as in tlie well wrought garden, the results wuuld Is? similar. An excellent farmer of liedford, Jas. Walker, thrco years ago trenched a piece of his garden for a parsnip bed two feet tlcep, mixing manure intimately with lus sou.

The consid' ration of nrnig of tlie effects of an efficient drain-, age will, I think, remove the giitet share o' those douhU. lst-J-aiid io these suggestions 1 am following the reasouing of 1'rnt Johnston, although for brevity, 4 am obliged to condense it for the most part, into my own style., instead of following the excellent language of the author. 1. Draining carries off all stagnant water and jjives a ready ecac to the excess of what talis in rains. 2. It arrests the ascent of water from Ietieath in a single locality, derive.thoir uutriuient l v scntlingout rootlets into the surrounding soil to take up food. This food may he mineral matters Indd in solution in the soil, or it may lie organic matter which haa undergone deeoiiiHsiiion mthe soil, furnished to it by vegetable or mineral man ure; or it may be mutter carried into tl e soil by the atmosphera. ittin the soil tnrcecncth'c air t'rwly, then, is one important w sistatice to the uitiodudion of nutriiieiit matter to ilo'sniLi I I he more extensively, then, the .tr finds access to the soil, nud the more finely divided is (lie on two mires, which crop could not havo been ( perfeotcd with double tho quantity of manure on unsuhsoile l laail: Our surface plow run 17 inch es, deep, while the subsoil plow running Ri the bottom of tlie- surfaet fiirrew, disturbed the soil without raising it, 17 Inches room. . "As a general Mile," ay Prof.-Johnston, "it eaunot bo denied that a deep soil is greatly supe rior to a shallow soil of the same nature." Again he says,""thc general tbcoretieeltirineiple on this uh,iert that the deeper the soil tlie longer it may be cropped "without the risk of Pxhawstion, and the greater the variety of crops, deep as well as shallow rooted, which may he grown upon it, is so reasonable in itself tu to command a ready ar quiescence." 8peakingof the subsoil plow, l'rnf. Tohnston says, " it is an instrument unequalled at present, I beliet.i, for giving a real practical money value to etiff clayey subsoil. Yet even he stroiig adyocate as he w for deep plowing and the" usenf tlie subsoil plow,aduiit that oftentimes it is of but little use unless ( rccxleddiv draining. " But though it open up," Bays he, "tho soil for a time to a greater denih, the subsoil, plow will in most cases afford ne permanent cure for the deficiencies of the subsoil, if unaided hti drain aijr. Of its use with a stiff clnv sulmoil he savs, "this may be cut, or, for tho time torn asunder, but scarcely will the plow haw passed over it till the particles will bo cemented again, and prob ably hy the end of a single season, the undersoil may be as solici nnd impenetrable ever, . in or der, then, to deepen the soil it is necessary to drain them tlio uughly aud dry ceiyro the subsoil plow is used. As lieneficial as I lielicvc a deep soil to be, as essential as I Ix.lieTc it to be to tho most profit able culture nl" the soil, it cannot take the place of fine tilth at the surface. I should prefer a soil minutely pulverized for ten inches, not knowing tho .coiu'.iuon of that below this depth, to one 1 knew Vi be broken up to tlio depth of thirty inch es and only coarsely broken afthe surface. But were I to clusiao 1 should sayrgivb me a soil listened h) tlio latter depth, ami iu addition "finc Z pulvcrizl at the surface. So iin;irtnnt is the 'rescnce of air freely admitted to the nsits of plums that a well pulvcrizetli)iellow soil, to which the nir and foots have everywhere ready access, will, though shallow, less frequently dis appoint tho hojH-s of the husliandinau than when a' greater depth prevails, less permeable to the air, end therefore less wholesome to the growing roots-.

Wet soils arc always cold, caused by the -ousiau.t evaporatian g dug on from the ui-f ice. The removal of the moisture, removes, also.iuocti if not all this coldness. So great is this change, oftentimes as to amount to a cliamre of climate. The maturity of crops is often hastened from two to three weeks. 7. Many lauds aro so w'et in the spring for n 1 in" time, that the time of see ling is very much delayed, producing"" hurry unprofitable in the year's results. By a proper drainage such lauds become dry and workable in the projior sprije reason, and the fanner in his labor is rcudoie I aoiuevvhat imlcsnrdent of the changing .ea-ons. K. On all kinds of land this removal of the su rrllnoiis water is equivalent to an artu tl ' li- -ji. w inj it tfir iil. Kveryono has observed that when hind is seemingly dry e-.nsugh to admit hibrfbti it. yet that it is wet beneath. Water in the soil lejiels the ro 'ts of plants, f-'o that if it is to le ordinarily within -12 or 14 inches of tho surfai-e, it occupies space that the roofs would otherwise '"'occupy. They are eonLequo;itly deprive. 1 of ter ritory in which they may range to collect nutri ment. Ilemovc the water and the soil becomes drier tn a greater depth, the air-penetrate freer, ly, diffuses itself through the region rrit-Sted by the water, and opens a virgin soil to which ti e roots may have free and safe access. A writer in the llnivlun Qnarirrlif Itrrittc. expresses the opinion that the existence of the water table or level nearer to the surface than four feet is in jurious to vegetation. I). The removal of wafer from the oil enables Mhe farmer to use manures with the hojic of nu adequate return, tin wet soils, bones, wood ash es and other artificial manures are almost thrown nway. Keen lime exhibits but one-half its fer tilising virtue w here water is allowed to stagnate in the soil, .vl in v ol tlie tailuros ol cxis-riiiient . - -. t .i .!. .i .

These several points may be summed up under three pr.jsitinns, which I would were graven on the lueinorj of every cultiirist. A. Kflieient drainage is equivalent not only to a change of soil, hut also to a change of climate in reference to tho growth of plants. , Ii. It is also equivalent to a deepening of the soil. C It is a necessary preparation .to tho many other means of improvement which we may wish In apply to the land. If the views expressed on this subject are cor rect, and they have been subjected tn rigid expe riment, especially in P.nglaud: if we would attain to the fullest rapacity of our land to pnnluce.'the question would bo, not what pieces, js it necessa ry to drain, but whatjijrta can wo safely permit to go uudrained. W'e drnin and clear up a mea dow at an expense of fifty dollars per acre nnd bring it into English hay at a yield of a ton and a half per acre, and call it a good operation. Would it not bean equally giaal operation to drain our tillage lands and double our crops thereon ? Hays Prof. Johnston, it has been calculated that the drainage of the arable lands (of England) 10,000,000 of acres, would at oneo increase their produce by " lft,noi,000 quarters of the various kinds of grain now grown uiu them. '8o rapid Is tho return found to be, that money invested in training Is soon returned to the farmer, fays, the holder of a largo Knglish form, " I drain so runny acres every ye-ir, aud I find niysulf always " temd by the end uf the third year, not interest but principal, sothat if Hmv e spare capital enough In go on for three years, I can gradually drain any extent of land 'by the repealed use of the Kline sum of money.''. Of the expense of drain ing it may be said to vary, nci-tmling to eircum Mance,;frum twelve to thirty dollar. With our soil thoroughly ilrained.we are ready to proceed to airse3.md phoi Sir increasing the rf.-.;i; ..-.i ft .i.... i. - t . ..... .... .,,..,.. p,,u, ioh in aiterrng too nrefiiiiii eal ooudition of Ue sjil, reducing it to fine, dcf-fi iiun. uimediatcly comb nsed noon the side of the irlnss in drops. - Now -thi imdstnre-is eairied by the air in smon the roots of plaiits if the soil be kept open to admit it. . v Sj great was the effect olttcrved from frcquont aud deep piowings up-ui the soil, that oi;o of the mostren.arkablu agriculturists that bnirhuid has ever produced, proponed a theory that nmnnre was j uiinoctvs-oiry, that tilth only. was needed. But .lethfo Tull, after some years of culture, was ot-iicil to in knowledge that s. ine e- urso ttr the l illtrotliiciioii oi oifj-ai.ic inaiter lo xne sou was ! neces:irv. By h'n excellent tilth, he, for the i fiast few vcars of his euhure, brcaight the exist ing or-i-uiie inntOM:.! of tio' soil into the prndvtc ti n ol cxtrunrdinn y nutrition; Ivut, unfortunate ly fr hi th"orv, he so n found his soil failing. and that beyond nil the labor of the plow alone j to rotore it. Toll w rote a tieatisc on Jim' It' I lii'.ihiiiif--. in which he puts f'r.Ii his views as io the. decided adv antages of Constantly pulvr veriiing nnditniiig tlie soil. "I hay had, ' savs he. the '-experience of an altitude of instan ces, which confirm it so far, that I am in.no doubt that any soil, be it rich or pisir. can ever be made too lino by tillage; for one cubical foot of this minute powder may have more internal supeiiiccs, than a thousand cubical feet of the same or any other earth' tilled in the common manner. And 1 believe tl at notwijirable earths in the world do exceed each other in their iiatur ul richness twenty times that is. one cubical foot of the richest is notable (o produce an equal quantity of vegetables tn i njiartlmr, to 0 cubi cal fect'of the poorest; the:cl'oio, it Is not strange that the airet, when by pulverizing it, has ob t lined oliil'tinios the suiicrth ies'of the rich, mi t lied innds should exceed it in fertility; or, if a f.ot of the pisirest was made to have 20 times the siqicrticies of the rich land, tho poorest might oroduce an cdual iiitanlitv if vegetables wilh r.cli. iuo also iii'inoiisttaies mai witii nne tnui more plants could be grown on a given measure ment of laud, than in the ordinary coarse state of the soil. "For when the roots of plants in Jjw-soil are Imtter supplied' with nourishment, it being nearer to them on all siues within reacn, than it can be w here the soil is fine, as in coni inon tillage." Tull satisfied himself, also, by his expei imetits. of the length to which the resits of plants- w ill grow if ro im can be given them, that the ordinary depth of plowing was en tirelv inadeounte to the necessity of plants, lie said that grassroots, if allowed, would extend to uuica.tiuui double the.distancoto which they usu ally did, on the soil as usually prepared. He ob served the same with the roots of w heat plants, lie also nl -served that such plants ikjs'sossiiI a stronger vitality than the others. Tull also wrote as follows: To demonstrate that dews mm. ton ti e hind Wit 'lysjk at yon box bra. ' 'Yes, she .? a fine hsiking woman.'' Who is she, I wonder do vou know ?'
