The general expression was, that the carrot is the best root for this purpose, in situations adapted to its: growth. Hon, Mr. Brooks stated that he had made exper iments in feeding carrots, and for young stock he thought them as valuable in weight as good hay. ' He thought they din not produce as much milk, when fed to cows, as potatoes, and hogs pre ferred jiol&tofs. , He considered carrots compared with oats,"lo worth t33 cents per bushel when oats were worth 50 cents -that 10$ lbs. of carrots were equivalent to 3 lbs. of oots. lie consi dered the .tops ol carrots of sufficient value to pay the expenses of harvesting. He put them up in small stacks oat of doors, aid they kept good till midwin- ' Mr. Rice said he sowed carrots early in Mfy on ligh; land tjsnal crop 600 bushels per acre, 40 bushels weigh about a ton, and were worth is much as half a ton of hay, Mr. Pre tor said 35 tons of carrots been grown on an acre at a single crop, aud it wns not uncommon to obtain '& tons.

CORN CULTURE. As to the culture of corn we are not vain enotish to suppose that we could prescribe any mode that would even be most an approximation to the best plan. corn planters have peculiar views of their own, while almost every, neigh borhood has its particular method. Whilst, then, such diversity of opinion exists upon , the subject of wuat is the be st plan, it may be the part of modesty In us to be cautious in what we say. oo far as our observation and experience enables ueto speak, we -would remark 'that we believe that corn should never be worked with' the plough aAer it is a foot high; that We have no faith ut large hills 6r in the cutting of the roots of the corn plants wi.h the plough; that the great object In every, corn grower should be to keep dowp alf weeds' and grass and keep the soil open to the action of sun, air, dew and rain, and that, after ; the first ploughing, the objects can be at tained by tne use ot the cultivator better than with the .plough.

'London Alhemrum. HOWTO IMPROVE CLAY SOIL The natural remedy for a heavy clay soil in a kitchen garden, is to mix sand the stubborn alumina, and, allowing the atmospheric influences to penetrate where they were lornwrly .chut out, gives a stiu.uiuc, or rattier an oppor tunity,-w vegetable growth, which quickly produces US result in trie quau titv and aualiltr of the croos. But it not unfrequenily happens that sand is not to be' had abundantly end cheaply enough to enable the proprie tor of moderate means to effect this beneficial change. In this case, we propose to the kitchen gardener to 'a chieve his object . by another modo, e quail y efficient, ana so easv and cheap as to be wiihui the reach of almost ev ery one. This is to altfT the t texture of too heavy soils, by burning a portion of the clay. very few of our practical gardeners seem to be aware ol two Important facts. First, that clay, when once burnt never regains its power of cohe sion, butalwiya remains in a pulver ized slate; and, therefore, ii just at useful, mechanically, in making a heavy soil tight, as sand itself. Second that burnt clay, by Jts power of attracting from the atmosphere those gases, wruch are the locxJ ot vegetable. is really most excellent manure itself. Hence, in any clayey ' kitchen garden, Vhere brush; faggots, or refuse fuel of any de scription can be had, there is no ' reason why its cold compact soil should hot be turned at once, by this process of imrn ing the clay, into one comparatively ligX warm and productive. . The difficulty which stands In " thet way of the kitchen gardener, who has to contend with a very light and sandy soil, is its want of capacity for retaining moisture, and the consequent failure oi the summer crops. ,.:,- In some instances this is very easily remedied. We mean in those cases where loam or heavier subsoil lies be low the surface. Trenching, or subsoil ploughing, by bringing up a part of the alumina from' below, and' mixing it with the sand of the surface soil' rem ledies tlie defect verv speedil edies the ' defixt . very speedily, Dut . l. n . . ....,...-.. vj,... .... r, butwo modes of overcoming this bad constitution of the soil. One of those is, to grasp the difficulty at once by ap plying a coat of clay to, the surface of the soil, "nd mixing it with the soil as yea would mannre-, the other . (a. less expensive and more gradual process) is to- manure the -kitchen garden every ear with compost, in which clay or strong loam forms a large proportion. i It may seem to many petsons, quits out of the question to attempt to ameli orate sandy soils Hy adding lclay But it is surprising how small a quantify of clay, thoroughly intermingled with the loosest sahdy soil; will give It a differ enttxlnrc, and convert it into ft good loam." And even In' sandy districts there are often valleys and low" places, quite urar the kitchen garuen, wnerf a good.stnck of clay ,lirn, (perhaps quite unsuspected j' jeauy ,for uses, of this kud r .. . j.t. . , n. it I , -la the Journal, of . the Agricultural Society of England a case is quoted, ivol. ii. p. 67,) where - the soil was a white sand varying in depth from one to tour leer; u was so sierun inst no crops could ever be grown upon it to profit. , By giving it a top dressing of clay, at the rate of 150 cubic yard to the acre, the whole surface of the farm so treated was unproved to the depth of ten or twelve inches, so as to give ex cellent crops.iS'.'flr fit fA West. PRACTICAL BLUNDERS. There is hot a week passes over our heads hut We see or hear tell of some lucky Tjerson who has discovered per- petnat motion.
