The Elements of Good Tillage.
When the reader "reflects, that ^or tho
greatest production wo must liav? the very
best soil, io the best condition, and furnished
with a sufficient amount of ihoie constituents
which enter into the formatiou of the
plant, he will perceive at a glance what a
field for improvement we have, before we
can say that our cultivated lands are in a
state of good tillage. Take the best lot of
virgin toil, abounding with all the elements
which sustain a vigorous forest growth,clear
it, ntid subdue its natural wildneas by the
piowbitnre, am! tlie very process of culture
usually adopted, independent of tho exhnustiug
routine of production indulged in,
acta detrimentally, and in a few yoais its
tilth is destroyed. It may he light and porus,
when first subjected to the plow, but
the process of repeated cultivation, by improper
implements, with the loss of vegetable
matter, lessen sthe bulk of soil, nml it
becomes hard, dry and lion absorbent, a
state entirely uncongenial to the production
of crops, and the processes of easy tillage.
Another fruitful cause of change in the
texture of soiis is, that as soon as the roots
of the trees are destroyed their cavities are
filled up by cultivation, and natural drainage
is obstructed.
Lauds which wero sufficiently dry for all
the purposes of cultivation whou first cloared,
from these causes become too wet, and
the stagnant water soon causes the tenacious
particles in tho soil to run together,
forming an underlying hard pan, which can
be subdued only by proper under draining,
and in some localities by sub soiling. Nature
so arranges all her requirements, that
there is always a perfect and congenial
adaptation of Roil to the particular plant
nnd locality which is to produce it, and
from this cause the productions of tho earth,
m a completely natural stalo, aro always
perfect. The swamps ami the valleys, the
hills and the mountains, each havo families
of trees and plauts adapted to the productive
clcmonts which their soils contain, us
well as to the particular stato of dampness
or nridity which may obtain. Those productions
which delight in aridity are never
found in damp and inundated locations,
and vice versa with aquatic plants.
TI - A.-*, f
iiicbu nici? irum naiurc me suuicient lo
how with clearness, that when man attempts
to adapt tlie soil lo the various products
grown oil cultivated lands, he has
much more to do, to render this operation
perfect, than is usually effected hy the or
dinary processes ot' tillage resorted to. Exhaustion,
and its injurious effects up n the
nggrcgato products of a country, so prejudicial
to permanent prosperity, is hut a secondary
subject, compared to the importance
of the primary preparation of the soil, and
its peifect reclamation from natuie, to the
rcquiiemeuts incident to the production of
artificial crops. If perfect preparation is
made at the commencement, it requires no
lengthened deduction of figure-* to show
that exhaustion is in r. great measure pievented,
and a cuie is applied before the
disease has made it6 appearance.
The presence of ammonia in rain water
is one of the great elements of fertility, it
being furnished in a natural way lo the
growing crops just when, and in the state
most, needed. The l>c*t locations of natural
loam and alluvia) deposites ab-ord and retain
this element in large quantities. Hence,
the natural fertility of such soils, whilst the
great importance of seasonable and frequent
showers to the planter, whose soil is defi
cient in these absorbing and retentive :
qualities, is made evident, from the same ;
hygroscopic influences. Ordinary plowing
iu the South on upland does uol hung into
use more than three inches in depth of soil.
Experiments have been made by Mr. Dal
ton, with a cylindrical vessel, ten inches in
diameter, three feet deop, filled with g'avel,
and and soil?having a discharge pipo at
the bottom, by which to measure the
quantity of water that ran off, ami which
gave perfect drainage, the top of the s-.i!
being covered with grass, the whole buried
bo that the top was even with the ground,
shows that earth that is moderately m i-t
will take up thrco inches of water without
carrying it beyond the point of saturation.
This amount had in the proceeding dry !
month boon taken tip hy the plants ami
ain^villiaU! ?mu willlUlll IIlSKMlg 1110 So.; j
too dry, had so drawn upon.it, that it could j
imbibo tluec inches which fell in foui
day p.
Mi. D.dton, aiiived at very satisfactory
conclusions respecting the amount of water
imbibed by the soil by saturation, and
stated that in l' e spring after tho melting
of the winter's snows, a cubic foot of tins
saturated earth is to water in its specific ,
gravity as five to three; dried to moisture \
suitable for (ho reception of seed, it loso*
cn* twelfth ofits weight; and when peifoctU*
dried it loses one third. He also argued
that when it had lost one sixth of its weight ;
by drying, it was not t >o dry to supp<ul
vegetation. When it had lost two-thirds,
it appeared like lop soil in summer, llcnco,
every foot of eat 111 so saturated contains :
seven inches of water, and it may pat; with
one-half of its water, and not be too dry for
supporting vegetation. Wo stait in the
spring with this amount of water?say
three inches in depth, within one Lot of
the top of the ground. Roots ami plants
go down lower than lhi?, if the soil i? congenial
to their reception.
Common operations of plowing, with
good implements, wiii render poius and |
permeable ten inches in depth of soil,
whilst extraordinary plowing may reach as
low as one foot. Trenching to the depth ;
of three feet would givo to the plants cultivated
all that is claimed for the above experiments.
When the land is cultivated six inches
deep, it only holds subject to the purpose* |
of vegetation, if no account is taken of.j
water ri>.ing up tlirougli the hard undeilv !
ing earth, one inch and a half of water. If
cultivation goes to tho depth of a foot, the
available quantity of water is doubled. If
the soil is broken up still deeper, though it
may bo that tho roots of inosl cultivated
plants do not penetrate beyond a foot, >et
the water from a lower fountain will rise
up by capillary attraction, and supply the
evaporation from tho surface of the soil. So
it results, that while ouo foot of earth will
hold for tho purposes of vegetation three
inches of water, three feet will hold so
much that it can part, without becoming
too dry, with three inches, and then receive,
in the course of a few days' rain, another
three inches, without danger of flooding
the soil. Hence theso experiments show,
that n soil which holds no water for the
use of plants below tho depth of six inches,
will suffer from drought in ten days, in j
Juno, July or August, and if the soil is in
suitable condition to receive and hold
water to the depth of three feet, it would o
upply, if properly saturated at tbe com- ?.
men cement, sufficient moisture for tlie same b
mouths. We liavo practienlly quoted these ft
experiments to show that a proper propara- e<
lion of the soil, would iu a great tneasuie is
counteract all the inconveniences which re- w
suit both from a deficiency aud an excers r<
of rain to growing crops. Substantial ei
depth of soil, would retain all the moisture ai
which toll, and give it out to the plants an w
it wan needed. What ammonia was not lr
required by the production of the crop, or
subjected to the dissipating laws of evapo- n
j ration, Would also be retained and increas- b
! cd fertility to the soil would he the result. Ii
In rainy season^ such as when the ex- ll
cessivo moisture is ruinous to growing crops r.
I on shallow soils by reason of the imperfect tl
i drainage, this moisture is precipitated be- b<
I low the roots of the plants, and its injur!- ir
i oun effects not experienced. By depth of e<
soil we cuic two disasters most detrimental h
to grow ing crops, and at the same liinendd
vastly inceaseu capacity to tiio soil, for d
the appropriation of those elements which b
I alone can tiatu:nlly perpetuate fcrtilfty. If n
[ we leceivo bcncGts from these, how much li
I more me we benefitted from other causes! n
I Tho ea^e with which the tillage of the crop ll
: is carried on, a complete exemption from u
| the washing of the soil, and tho vast in- ri
i ctease of production, are items not to be ; I;
I regarded in a trivial light. Added to these I a
I the fact that proper tillage would require j tl
| less Inn I, leas capital, and less labor, after i I'
i the primary preparation, and it is a clear tl
1 problem that our system of agricultural opeiations,
though seemingly remunerative, n
! must in the end result in disaster and ruin, e
I if persevered in. We have much to say a
i u on this subject, but must defer further a
reflections to a future day. g

Culture of Fruit Trees, Plants, &c. r'

; The importation and culture of trees, $
I plants, shrubs, Ac., has reached an itnpor- tl
i tnnce, within a very few years, of which few j tl

largo consignment* of these productions j
. are not received in this city from foreign fi
j countiies, to be distiibutod auiong the nu g

I lamented Downing, a taste for this department
of agriculture was widely dissvmina
ted, and is constantly extending with the
increasing wealth and refinement of the c

place during the thiee months of February, ;i
Maielt, and April, and consequently the v

Wife Id Ecstacy, Husband In Fidgets.
Thu deed is accomplished. My wife has

papers, and the big cigars that make ambition
virtue?oil, farewell! And oh! ye
mortal engines, whose rude throats the iro?
mortal Jove's dread clamors counterfeit;"
but stop, I cannot bid them farewell, for
one ol them has just arrived. It came on
a dray. Six men carried it into thu pnrlor
and it grunted awfully. It weighs a ton,
I shines liken mirror,and has carved Cupids
I climbing up its limbs. And such lungs?
I whew! My wifo has commenced to prnc'

j friend upon tho back fence, demolishing a
six-shilling pane ofglass. The baby awoke,
, and the little fellow tried his best to heat
the instrument, but he didn't do it. It heat
him. A teacher has been introduced it.to
| the house. He Rays he is tho last of Napoleon's
grand nrinv. IIo wears a huge
moustache, looks at me fiercely, smells of
I garlic, and goes hv the name of Count
Hun-away-and-nerer-come-back again. lie
played an ex.met de opera tho other night,
j lie run his lingers through his hair twice,
i then grinned, then he cocked his eyes up
at tho ceiling like a monkey hunting flies,
then down came one of his fingers, and 1
iieard a delightful sound, similar to that
produced by a cockroach dancing upon lha
tenor string of a fiddle. Down came
another linger, and I was reminded of the
wind whistling through the knot hole in a
hen coop. lie touched his thumb, and I
thought I was in an orchard listening to
the distant braying of a jackass. Now he
ran his fingers along the key*, and I
thought of a bov tattling a slick upon a
picket fence. All of a sudden lie stopped,
ami I thought something had happened.
Then down came both fists, and, oh. Lord!
such n noise was never heard before. I
thought a hurricane iiad struck the house,
an I the walls were caving in. I imagined
1 was in the cellar, and a ton of coai was
falling upon my head. I thought the ma
I chine had burnt when the infernal noise i
-ti pped, and I heard my wife ejaculate?
: "Exquisite!"
"\Y hat the deuce is the matter?" The !
all-over was, '"Why, dear, that's La Son-I
nainhula!" "Hang Sonuainhula!" thought i
1, and 111o Count tolled up his sheet of
paper. JIo calls it music, but for the life
of me, I can'i make it look like anything
cl-e than a tail fence with a lot of juveuilo
niggers climbing over it. Before that instalment
of torture came into the house I
