he immediately replied :

v After a time, however, and while I was
stating-to him some facts within my own

ested in what I was sayingj ! He listened,

a, while, as I kept talking he cast alglance
at; me any longer, he did not appear to
minKing ot wnat i was saying. He
appeared rather to be engaged in deep
luuugm; ana his eye often turned upon
",!t Jg- tfy and by he slowly reached
down his hand, and took hold of if. With
a very solemn countenance!, and without
saying a word, (he had hot spoken for
uu on oour; rie placed the brown jug
upon his knee. I talked on, watching his
sueni motions. He turned his bead very
deliberately around, one; way arid the oth
ef fts if he were looking for something ;
his eyes glancing here? and there, as if he
did not see what he .desired, i I kept on
talking to bim. i j M
Just at the spot where ; we w4re, the
road swept politely round a large huge
stone, or side of a rock; which rose about
ten feet above the path : and as those
who built the road could not get it out of
me way, the path made rather a short
turn round it. This rock was withfn three
feet of his wagon. His eye fixed upon it,
and then glanced back to the jug upon his
krtee. Then he looked at the rock, and
then at his jug again; and then at me.
And thus his eye contihued to wander
from one to another of these three objects,
aS if t could not get beyond them- &l first,
I was in some doubt which of ; the three
was the roost attractive to his jeye, the
rock, the brown jug, or myself. Qut n a lit
tle time I noticed that his eye rested on the
brown jug longer than on me. At! length
I was Ipst sight of altpgether,;(tbpugh I
continued,4 talking to -hirn.) and his eye
glanced backwards and forwards, from
the brown: jug to the rock arid from the
rock to the brown jug. All this time he
maintained an unbroken silence,! and I
kept on with my lecture! 1 f
Finally he seized the ! poor iugi by its
side, wrapDine the lone finders of his rieht
hand half round it, ahd slowly rising from
his seat, he stretched up bis tall frame to
its full! length, and lifting the brown jug
aloft, as high as his, arm) could reach, he
hurled it, with all his might, against the
rpck.dashing it into a thousand pieces.
" Whoa 1 whoa I whoa IT (said hetto the
old.) Hold on here! ; Whoa ! whoa !
Turn' about here. Whoa We will go
home now." The horse had suddenly-
started forwards, frightened at the clatter
of the brown jug, and the pieces which
bounded back against his legs and side.
The start was very sudden ; and $s my
long friend was standing up, it came near
tp pitch his tall figure out of the wagon
backwards. However, lie did not pill.
As he cried whoa ! whoa !" be put back
iis long1 arm upon; the side of , the Wagon,
and saved himself. He soon stopped his
old horse ; and deliberately turning him
round in the street, till he got bim beaded
towards borne, he put on the whip, and
without saying a word to me, or even cast
ing a parting look, he drove off like Jehu.
1 drove. en alter bim as fast 1 could ; but
I could not catch him. He flew over the
road. And when I past his house,! about
a! mile from the jug-rock he was stripping
off the harness, in a great hurry; We
exchanged a parting bow, as I drofe by ;
and I never spoke to him about rum after
wards. Within a single month from this
time, thai man became, as bej believed, a
child ot God. His gloom and fears were
gone ; and he had peace by faith in, Jesus
Christ. ' i ii I ii : U- M ,
About a month afterwards, as I i passed
the spot, where such a catastrophe came
upon the jug, and where ray long ; friend
came so bear to be toppled out of bis wag
on ; I noticed that some One had gathered
up some pieces of the unfortunate brown
jug, and placed them high up, on a shoul

THE SCIENCE OF AGRICjCTLTURE.
Wej have said thatibgficulibrejhjas be

this, all men of intelligence will admit ;
although; no doubt, many of pur ,od far
mers would shrug their ishoujders .at the
idea of sending their sons to schoor Id learn
how to manage their firm I However,
they should not think strange of this.-
Instead of being a routine of drudgery, as
in ages past, farming! is becoming ja most
delightful profession, and has already en
listed in its ranks the first intellects of the
world. The day has come Avhien the
scientific farmer takes a high rank in the
world of intellect.

jBut a few reflections ought to do away
wi all surprise upon this subject. Let
the old fashioned farmer ask himself why
it is that some piece of land will produce
a better crop jof oats, corn or wheat than
others. Or wfhy is it that kernefof corn
placed in the ground will spring up, grow
to a great height, "and produce a large
bulk of the same material?" From what
are the large stalks, leaves and ears of
cprnj produced ? ppw can the farmer an
swer this question? j No one substance
exists in the ground to spring up myster
iously in this way. The most slight ob
i lorced to say that the stock and
taken from the atmosphere, and
drawn from the water and gases in the
earth by the roots ivbicb extend them
selves in every direction from the grain
rln n.J .L.i i .
pio.ui.cu. (rue water so lanen ua oy tne
roots is charged with mineral and vece
table substances, and by a process similar
to that by which nature changes food ta
ken into the stomach into flesh, they are
converted into the growing plant.
To learn exactly what these materials
taken up by the roots and grain are, is the
first step in agricultural science: and if
this can be found but, is there a farmer in
tpe world who would hesitate to say that
the discovery would! be of the highest im
portance ?i By finding this out be would
at once see that he would have a guide
in selecting the soils and preparing them
for any required crop. Soils vary. t All
are not formed of the same materials.-
Neither are grains all composed of the
same principles ia the same proportions.
The soil that will nourish one kind, will
not sustain another. . ,
J The chemist is able fb separate all the
parts of a plant, arid tell us of what they
aire composed. This has been done re
peatedly.: The corn plant, of which we
have beep speaking, is found to be com
posed of; the following materials, viz:
when green and growing, about 89 or 90
parts in a hundred of water ; of carbonic
acid ; silica or flint ; sulphuric acid ; phos
phoric acid ; limb ; i magnesia ; potash ;
soda, and chlorine; the principal substan
ces of all plants. jTjhe. proportions of the
above substances, saying water, are not
given, as the allusion to the composition
plants is only made to show of what they
are formed. Perhaps it is well to say that
the' substances most abounding in the
green stalk, after separatingthe water,
are silica, phosphoric acid and soda, rot-
ashUibounds in the blade ; but is far more
abundant in the ripened kernel. Conse
quently it is seen that ashes are a good
manure for this plant, and the experience
of farmers has confirmed the indications
of chemical analysis!
The foregoing observations lead to im
portant inquiries and considerations. The
substances which form a blade of urass,
or a vegetable plant, are all conveyed to
them through Jbe (medium of gases and
water. The mineral parts are of course
dissolved by the water flowing through the
sojt, and arrested by the roots of the plant,
and thus converted into vegetation. Thus
we see, why. in order to be productive,
the water must have a free circulation
through the soil ; as' when it is otherwise,
the! mineral substances are not so easily
dissolved ahd circulated, and the air is ex
cluded, leaving the land wet with cold
and sour. And here we see that drain
age s another confirmation of the indica
tions of chemical analysis.
We propose here to state another indi
cation of chemical, analysis, which has
been sustained by experience of farmers,
although the course indicated is, plowing.
The! idea is, that byjputtirig the plow down
deep, more soil and mineral substances
are brought to the surface, exposed tome
atmosphere and water, and thus decom-
po$ed and rendered nutriment lor pianis.
Deep plowing is called for by the princi
ples of agricultural science, and is sus
tained by well tested experiments.
Tljere can be no qbestion,other things be-
mg equal, out inaipne acrcui un, iwims

PLOW DEEP AND PLANT SHAL-;
LOW, ! 5 . '
Mb Editor : In looking about me this
.rJA 1 knvA nntinerl A. ?reat number of
farmers in this part of the country break
ing up their lands about ten inches deep,
andl planting their corn nearly as deep as
is the bid adage with us, Plow deep and
plant deep but plant deep anyhow."
Now, sir, do you not know that thisis a
mistake ? If you don'tI do know that it
is as broad a mistakeas was ever made
by intelligent farmersbecause I haye
tried it and I knpw it by experience. My
rule is to plow deep, and ! plant shallow,
(contrary Jo tbtf rccommendatiorr of sev
eral ''Agricultural papers") and I will
give you: my reason for so doing. I plow
deep (subsoil from fifteen totwenty inches)
so as to et as much clay on top as poss
ible, which will, through a chemical pro
cessr uro to soil ;f and to turn the soil un
derthe clay, in which I intend for the
toots bf corn to grow. I have the rows m
which intend planting run offabbut four
inches deep ; by this means j secure the
richest soilor my corn to take root in ;
fnd by Pawing deep and planting shal
low, lhavje a deep, loose soil, and wilf alv
ways secure moisture to the roots of corn.
The question might be jasked : Why is it
that he don't plant his corn deep It is
this : suppose I break my land fifteen in
ches deep and plant my corn twelve? I
would only have three Inches or loose dirt
for my corn to grow in. and more than nrn.
!bable that would be clav u-hiU rh rAtm
t - j v w a wt9
of corn would have little or no advantage
from the soil, it must be to all, that will
look at the reason of the case, very ovi
ous. I would ask some of your readers
that have their doubts about this (if they
question it at all) to try the experiment
next year, and inform you of the result.
Wishing you great success with your pa
per, I remain, . TRUTH
Ejects of Ploughing in Green Crops as
Compared Kith Feeding them.U is yet a com
mon notion tbat berbiferoua aoimals have some
distinct and peculiar mode of action upon the
various constituents of their food, by which
those parts expelled as eicretae are rendered
more tit for the food of plants than could be the
original food, rotted or decompose! in any olh
er way. It is also ordinarily received that the
deposit of a number of animals fed upon an
acre of any green crop will be more beneficial
to the land than an acre of the same crop plow,
ed in and properly decomposed in the land.
For some years past, I have endeavored I to
combat these opinions, but as they are still re
tained in some quarters, I intend in ibis letter
to repeat my arguments, and to give instances
where practice has proved the truth of theoret
ical deductions. I shall not here argue as to
the amount of profit and loss attached to the
mode of proceeding, as that always depends
upon circumstances ot which the farmer is the
best judge. Nor shall I attempt to prove that,
under all possible circumstances, to plough: in
a green crop will give a greater produce than
to feed it off. For in case of exceedingly light
lands, the mechanical action of ihe treading of
the feet of the sheep, however, is, that tinder
general circumstances, in ordinary soils, the
ploughing in of any green crop, and its subse
quent decomposition in the soil, will give more
manure to t,bai soil than if the crop had been
off; and that the effect of this great amount' of
manure will be seen in the subsequent crops.
The arguments in proof may be staled as fol
lows :
' Firstly: It is well established that animals
in breathing give, back more lothe air than they
derive frorii it. They receive nitrogen and ory.
gen, and return them again, plus a certain ex
cess of nitrogen, carbonic acid and aqueous
vapor. Animals also transmit to the air much
insensible and sensible perspiration. I
. Secondly : The experiments of Boueingnauli
ahd others have shown that the liquid and solid
excrements ol animals wpigh much less than
the food from which they have been derived,
and that as regards the food, excretae are defi
cient in nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen.
Thirdly : It is well known thajfanimals con
sume a considerable portion of the farinaceous
and oleaginous portions of their food for the
production of animal heat, and the greater por
tion of the excess is laid up in the form of fatj;
part of the nitrogenous portion is consumed by
the voluntary and involuntary motions of the
muscles, and part forms fresh flesh for the
growing animal. Of the inorganic ma'lers of
the food, a portion is required for the formation
of bone. It is, therefore, quite clear that there
must be less manuring matter in the excre
ments than in the food, of which they are mere
ly the unjeonsumed remains the ashes.
; Fourthly : It is known that animal and vq.
gelable substances are composed of the same
original elements : that all particles have had
vegetable life that though ihe proximate chang
es and combinations of their aliments are most
innumerable, yet that the results of the ulti
mate decomposition of animal and vegetable
matter in contact with air are the same.
Fifthly: To sunriip ; if, as it has been prov
ed, the excretse of animals weigh less than the
food they have eaten ; if there is a diminution
of the most valuable of the ingredients in pas
sing the animal ; and if tn their ultimate de
composition, the food and excretae give the same
products, it follows that the products of the de
composition of the original food will be' great
est in quantity and richest in quality ; but prac
tical experiments are, in this instance, so ea
sily made, that I should be wrong it I omitted
to mention some of the numerous facts which j
experimentally prove the truth of my assertions.

Rrrors in Composing Farm Manures.- The!
farmer's manure heap is usually the receptacle;
for every substance that has served its original
purpose ; but it is a mistaken idea that every-
thing thrown in there will serve a useful pur
pose. We may, however, just say here thai
this error has considerably influenced farcnj
practice. Belief in the alcbymy, rather than
the chemistry of the farm-yard, has led some
persons to cart soil into the manure yard, and
to carry it back again with the dung to the very
field from which it was taken ; adding materi
ally to the bulk and expense of the manuring.
They presumed that they added to its valued
but the effect of the earth upon the farm yard
manure would be merely to retain decompoiil
tion, and thus might be a loss or a gain, ac
cording lo the circumstances of the soil and
the crop. . - :j
Animal substance, offal, and fish of every del
script ion, are also very unprofitabiy applied to
farm yard manure. The natural tendency of
animal subslaocet to enter into putrefactive fer
mentation i well known to be greater than
that of vegetable substances. By placing them
