From the Soil of the Srouth. RME IUM ESSAY ON HTIT-SIDE DITCHING, Read before the Second Annual FIair of the Georgia and Alabama Agricultural Sociey. BY NE1.SON (LAY'rOS. In performing this indispensable work for the preservation nani iinprovement of 'and, there is great diversity of opinion as to the best manner in which it is to be done-dif fering, too, as to the most essential points. But this difference is the result, in a great degree, of the diversity and irregularity of our hills, knobs and varlevs, as well as of the nature of the soil. If all our land re quiring hill-side ditches were a perfect in clined plane, with the same grade from top to bottoi, perhaps- this difference wouikl not exist-or if it did, it would be much easier to ascertain and correct the errors and es. tablisli something like a uiiform system. Under the many disadvantages by which the work is surrounded, all that can be done is to lay down some general rules, leaving the balance to the experience and practical sense of the operator. " In a multitude of counsel there is safety." I will therefore give the result of several years' experience and close observation, prefacing it with the hope it may be found of some little service to some one desirous of information upon the subject-not claiming for my essay any thing on account of literary merit. The frame with which I work is made of two pieces of plank nine feet long, three and a half inches wide, three quarters of an inch thick. Fasten the upper ends of the planks together in the form of a compass, or rafter, placinig tile lower ends fifteen feet apart. Four feet nine inches from the lower ends of each piece (this can be varied, however, to suit the height of the person who is to carry the frame) attach two small slips of plank (one and a half inch by five -eighths) upon opposite sides across then., which are to act as a support for the water or spirit level, as well as to fasten the two arms of the compass or frame together, and make them steady. It will also be better to fisten two narrow strips together in two or three places to make them more Era. On the middle of these two, mtrrow strips is fasten ed the level. There can be no doubt of its superiority over the plumbline on account of its requiring less time to use it, particularly on a wintry day. The frame can. now be taken to soic plae that is perfectly level, and by reversing the ends, ascertairr that it is right. If it is not perfectly level, it can he made so by moving one end of the cross slat up or down. After this is done, mark on the level the exact point at which the vacuum stands-then elevate one end of the frame one, two, three and four inches, and mark upon the level each time as at first. Now get at least one hundred small canes or sticks about eighteen inches long. You will have one (a small boy will do) to cArry the sticks. He should walk on tie opposite side of tile frame, and place one0 inl tile grounid a few inches. back of tile foot of the framne, upon the same side that he is on, so that in movinlg the frame for another stride, you can plaice the back end or foot exactly whlere the front one stood. The fall or grade to he given to the ditchl depends upon the length-whether it is straight or crooked-the quality of the soil, and to some extenit the grade of the hill. I will give, for instance, the grade to be used upon gray land hlaving a light sandy or gravelly clay foundation, as it is much the most. difficult, if the ditch is to be two or three hundred yards long, nearly straighlt, with only long and gentle curves, the first .stride of fifteen feet, at the upper end, should have four inches fall-the next thlree -and then the first hundred yalrds should have twvo and a half inches fall to every fifteen feet The second two, and tile third hundred yards should have only one and a hlalf inches fall to thte fifteen feet. The velocity gained by water in running any dis tan~ce makes it necessary that the grade or fall should be diminished about this prepor tionl to tile length of the ditch. If, ho wever, tile ditch shloud be very crooked, add a half inch, and inl extreme cases even more thlan that to tihe rate of mal. At very short crooks for tile first stride below, add as mouch as an half inlch, for the purpose of carrying off thle sand thtat w~ould~ otherwise accumulate at such pllaces. If tihe ditch should be perfectly or nearly straight as much as one hundred yards, tile fall mighlt be the same as the rate given above for straight ditches. Upon steep hill-sides, tile ditches require miore tall thlan whero they are only mfodlerate. Thlis is necessary to prevent them from filling up, on account of the force wvith whlich the wvater and sand come into them ; for let your ditches he ever so close together, inl very hlard rainis there w'ill be some sand washed in from above. I have sonme short ditches on very steep hill-sides, as much as from thlree to five inches. These grades, or this work, to the inex perienced, may appear complicated, but niot so with tlie experienced. It takes but little practice, accompilaniedl with good judgment, for any one, by looking at the land, to tell wvhether the dlitchl will be stright or crooked, long or short; anld if he should be mista ken, it is better to run it off' agin thlan suffer it to remain wrong--for to make tile fall greater or less is a very easy matter when your level is marked as before directed. The only difference between the grading or fall, given the ditch in red stifF land, or< where there is a good clay foundation, and the above, is that the fall may be made, for the reason it is less liable to wash. In commencing to ditch you will first take a general viewv of tile land. Perhaps from some local cause there is some particu- I lar place where a ditch shlould be-er soe starting point (eithler above or below) whlere,C above all others, there should be a dlitch. (I neglected to say before, you can go up hlill inl runninig your ditch, as wvell as down, by simply reversing the endls of your frame.) If you can get an outlet by running your I ditches with a branch or bottom, it is pre ferable, as the best land will thereby be t saved. But if this cannot be done, as very a frequently happens, you will have to use the I branlch or bottom for an outlet. There n~ must always be a ditch near the top of the a hill. If this cannot be done in any other g wvay, the grade must ho changed or reversed so as to make tile ditohes enter into eachl f other, until a suitable outlet is secured. In elc this case, there must be a log eighlt or tenm feet long placed upon the ditch you run into, 9tri at the point of junction, to prevent the water from breaking over. Thie ditch should also wt be wider from that poinut down. of When you have an outlet in opposite di- at rections for a ditch that is as much as twvo be hundred yards long, you should reverse tile bc grade about midwtay, so that the water will be run in different direotions. so It is best to have ne9 ditch exceeding threes bmndrod yards long running in the same di- 'at j~n , nranmostalwys ivid th fr ditch betweert the two outlets where the dis. tance is so great as that. The distance the ditches should be apart is owing altogether to the land-its quality, and the grade of the hill. I have some of my ditches as close as thirty feet to each other. The usual distance is about twenty to forty yards on hilly imid -red stiff lamd will bear even more than that. The only general rule that can he laid down on this point, however, is, be sure to havethem close enough together to- prevent washing. WIen you have finished striking off a ditch wihi the small sticks, as above directed, you should then go, back and alter them where the crook is too abrupt, and then remedy it by cutting the ditch deeper or more shallow at that point. You. will find many places can be done in this manner, on account of the general unevenness of the surface. When this is done have a furrow run with a plow six or vight inches from the stakes on either side. The furrow is run a little distance from the stakes, so as to pre. vent the horse from stepping on them. An other furrow is then run upon the other side of them-making the space between about fifteen inches at the upper end, about three feet at the lower end, (the ditch three hun. dred yards long.) Now plow out the mid. die and have the dirt pulled out with hoes on the lower side, until the ditch is six or eight inches deep. It will be necessary to Plow it out two or three times, first with a scooter and then with a shovel, so as to make it concave when fiuished, or you can use any kind of plows you wish. After this is done, by stooping down low in the ditch you can see the rough points or lumps that will, need trimming. I think ditches should be as sludlow as possible to answer the pur. pose for which they are designed, so that horses and mules will step across them more readily and the dirt will not bo so apt to fall in from the edges. The ditch should be wide for the reason., the water being spread over a greater surface is less liable to wash it into a gully than if confined in a narrow space. Even when a ditch is well laid off, iW it is made too narrow it may ftil altogether. IH at any time you discover that a ditch is too narrow, alter immediatelv -if too wide, (though this is rarely the case) let the grass grow into it on the upper side, and in one year it will get narrow enou_ +. At all gullies and washes across which yout wish to carry your ditch, put a log upon the upper as well as the lower side of the ditch,as long as the wash is wide. The size of the log to be in proportion to the depth of the gully. The ends of the log on the upper side must be placed in the earth even with the surface. If logs are placed carefully in this manner in several places between the ditches, the gully will soon fill up. Pine brush, if conveuient, may also be used to advantage for this pur pose. Stubble land is much the easiest ditched -because the surface of the earth is more smoth, and it' done in summer, immediately after the grain is cut, so that grass will grow on. thme emibankment, it is not so liable to wash. The largest gullies may be stopped in this manner: First, run off~ your ditch with, out any regard to the gully, and at the place where it crosses dig out two plaices on each side of the bank of' the gully, opposite each other, above and belowv where the ditch is to cross, and as deep as the gully. Cut logs long enough to reach across the gully, and fit them in the places dug out in the sides-then put thenm in at each place one upon top) of the other until they are as high as the bank of the ditch should be to pro. vent its running into the gully-then fill up the space between as high as the bottom of the ditch, with dirt, carefully stopping the cracks between thme logs with straw. Put in a single set of logs every twenty or thirty feet across the gully between ditches, in the same manner, then fill up with logs, brush, or anyting that is convenient and the wvork is done. I have filled up and am now cultivating across gull~les in this manner-one in par ticular that was from five to seven feat wide, Rnid equally deep, abouit one hundred yards long. Lay off' the rowvs for cultivation on a level Plant corn, as well as cotton, in drills. Lay off guide rows about thirty to fifty feet apart on ordinary hill sides; but as they will not run parallel upon1 a level, soe places will be much wider than others. In the middle of these wide places run another rowv upon a level, then commence laying off your rows for plantinig parallel with the irst rows, above andl below alternately, until they meet in the narrow places-then run upon side of the guide rowv in the middle until you have finished. The very short rows (they wvill sometimes occur) may be aid off~ by guess. To preserve these guide rows wvhen graini s sown, I make the best hand that laid off, ;o ahead and run them over. This lie can to, very nearly, by oounting the rows at he narrow and wide points. Then take a ~urninig plowv andl run a furrowv upon each ide ot it, making a ridge. This will enable ~ou to identify it the next year. Every time in plowing over a field, I nake some of the plow hands clean the onse di~rt out of the ditches, at" twelve >'clock," while the horses are eating. I now there is great diversity of opinion as o how land should be cultivated after it is itched. Many reasons are given for plans lifi'ering from that here laid down. Some contend that the rows should be aid otTf so that each one will carry off its )wn surplus water. Now, if each row is .o carry off its own surplus water, why aye ditches at all? Mly argument for aving the rowvs upon a level is, wvhen here is too great an accumulation of water o be retained in the middle of the rows, et it come over all the way in one smooth heet, and before it collects in a body suffi ient to wash, run into a ditch. The great error in all that I have seen vritten on this subject is, that there was no iff'erence made for the fall of straight or rooked, long or short, very steep or gentle ill-side ditches. I wvill here close this subject, that might 11 a volume, and still hie productive of' no ood-still fail to convince others, as others ave failed-to convince mue. I have tried any plans, adopting in the outset the iotto, " Try all, and hold fast that which is nod." If I have made myself understood in the regill pgs, I anm satisfied ; and, in coin usion, inbehalf of the plan here recomn eunded, wilonly claim of others a fair lal.

YEAST. -A new method or inakng yenst, is to take a large tea-cup full of split and dried peas, put them in a pint of boiling wa ter, cover them closely to excnde the air, place them. hy the side or the fire for twenty tloqr hours, when it should have a flne froth on the top. A table-spoon full will raise a pound of flour. To M.%xr SNow BALLs.-Swell half a pound of rice in water with a roll of lemon peel until tender, and drain it. Divide it into five parts, and roll a pared apple, cored, and the hole filled with cinnamon and sugar, in each heap, tying them up lightly in sepa. rate cloths. Boil for an hour, and serve with pudding sauce. Apr.E FntTrEs.-Beat six eggs until quite light, then stir in one teaspoonful of s-t, one tablespoonful of fine white sugar, the grated rind and juie of half a lemon, one piit of milk, half a pound of sifted flour; stir all well together and mix it into a batter, -cnd fry and servo as above. This batter may also be fried on a griddle as pancakes. How TO Coox A PomTAo.-Wash it well, but let there be no scraping. At the thickest end cut off a piece the size of a sixpence. This is the safety valve through which the steam escapes, and all rents in the skin are therehy prevented,just as the valve prevents a rupture in the steanm boiler.
