DR-UNING DEEEN THE S0I. The effects of thorough draining in deepen ing the soil are readily seen in a comparison of the characteristics of t ose wet and retentive, with those either nataur.dly or artificially of a porous nature. All heavy soils must hie shallow from the in iluence of stagnant water-of water whieh sat urates the surface, not being able to pass away by filtration. Every fall of water gives a inor tar-like consistencj to such a soil, and as the moisture passes off by the slow process of evap oration, it become4 baiked and bricklike, instead of light and friable. If plowed when wet, it is entirely unlit for the growth of crops, if stirred when dry, it turns up in clods and lumps ; in either ease, it is only after much labor that any finely pulverized earth is obtained to support and nourish vegetable growth, and an inferior crop is ever the result. Saturatios without fi tration kills the productite pouer of aiy soli makes it hard, shllow and sterile, however rich in every element of fertility it may be, when differently situat.-d in the single circumstance of drainage. Porous or well-drained soils, on the contrary never retain, even if they become saturated with water. The surplus moisture filtrates at once into the dreins, leaving the surface loose and friable. Such a soil can he plowed at any sea sonable time, and tura4 up mellow earth, readily fitted as a seed-bol for any cr.,p. Stch a soil invites the roots t' planta Aown, offering them food instead of a stune-like earth, and every year deepens the area of vegetable growth. until the full depth is reached to which it has been drained. That draining deepets the soil, we will bring a single instance to show-one which confirms every point stated above. It is condensed fron a letter from that pimieer drainer and pioneer of good truiers, .John Johnson, near Geneva, N. Y., and was published in the Cuntry Gentle man of Jan. 19, 1654. He says: "Last spring I concluded i , plow a clayey field, containing forty acres, onk m.nce for wheat, and that after harvest. Previous t draining it was one of my wettest fields. and in dry weather, even in April and May, was very har.l to plow, often having to get the coulters and shares shar. pened every day. whevn we used wrought itron shares. tOwing to the great drouth before. du. ring an.1 after harvest. I got a large plow nade. so that I could 1111t two or iore yokes of cattle and a pair of horses to it if necessary. Iimne diately after harvest we started for the field, oxen and drivers, plowmen and fiorses; and besides ne'i shares on the plows. took other new shares along, expecting to be obliged to change every day. "'When we got to the field, I had one man put a pair of horses beflore the -large plow, and to open the land with a shallow furrow. He went seventy rods away and back without even a stop, except when the clover choked the plow. I then put the plow down to eight inches, and after one round, to nearly ten, and he went around without any trouble. His furrow waA over nine inches deep and11 laid as perfect as could be. I then had one yoke of oxen put be hind my smallest horses, and a pair of horses bebre each of my othor plows, and they plowed the'field with perfect ease, only changing shares twice. "Although the field was undoubtedly plowed at the fate of nine inches deep, yet the clover roots.went deeper, and the land plowed up as mellow as any loam; whereas, had it not been drained, it would have broke up in lunmps as large as the heads of horses or oxen. .A few years ago, a neighblor broke up a field abont the same season, and similar land, hut not drained, and ailer enltivating, rolling and haurrowing, he had to employ men and mallets to break the lumps, betore lie could get mould to cover the seed ; and after all did not get the third of either wheat or straw. Mfv wheat looks as well as any I ever saw, and' I 'doubt not it will be a good crop." Those farmers, and they are not few, who have had experience in the cultivation of clayev soils when dry, or in any state, will not wonder that Mr. Johnston exclaimed, on finding this great change in the depth and 'friability of this clay bed,-" I never was more agreeably sur prised in my life-in fact, had my men been plowing in gold dust, as they do ini California, I should have been no more pleased." This great change was the simple effect of thorough drain age-the soil no longer compelled to remain saturated with water, lost its brick and mortar charaetes', and became a lice or at least an ac tive and prodluetive soil, ready to reward the labor of the farmner.-Country Gentleman. From the Lunisville Journal. A NEW PL IN OF DRYING PEA'HES WITIIOUil PEALNG. Neasrs. E(dors :-As the furze which covers the peach is very objiectionaible in drying thenm with it on, and as peeling thema for drying is a tedious process, and causes the loss of much of the sweetest and best part of the fruit, a plan which will obviate both of these objections and give us .the dried fruit as good as if peeled, anid in fact even better, is a desideratum, the supi plying of which would be very acceptable to all who are in the habit of (Iryingt this most excel lent an:1 desirable f-nit thr table use. A lady friend of the weiter has fonnd it out and coin mnunicated it to him, and lhe will here de.<cribe it. Make a tolerably strong lye with wood ashes by boiling them in water-lettinig it stand after being boiled sufliciently- until the ashes set tle to the bottom, when pour off' the lye Then put the peaches to be dried in this, war'mt, but not hot enough to.* cook theni aniy; and rut. them in it a while. T1hen take thiem out and wash thema in clear, colad water. This process wvill take all the furze eiitirely off, and leave them as slick and smooth as nectar-ines, with nothing but a thin skin on them. Then cut off and dry as usual. Peaches dried in this way will be found to be very sweet, and have all the advantages of notjosinig any by the usual pro cess of peeling-as the sweetest part of frumt is generally that next the peeling. We have eaten pastry made with sneh peaches, and can speak from experience. J. Rt. H. Near New Boston, Henry Co., Tenn., April 28, 1858. FtLIEs-At WAY TO GET RiD Ov THEuM.-Ycs3r. Editors: It was my privilege to go through the grounds of some of our ciieps ini the western part of the city on Friday last. When here, I observed bottles suspendedf in the trees, contain ing vast quantities of millers, tlies andl bugs, at. tracted there by a mixture of molasses, water atnd vinegar. Following the example set me, on Staurday snornuing' I pa~ror large mouthed white glass boCttles., that would hold abiont one quart each, andl tiedl them to the limbs of different trees in my garden. Ina each of these bottles I put a half pint of mixture, made by adding to three pints of wa ter- half a pint of molasses anal half a gill of vinegar. One of these bottles, hung in a (-her ry tree, at the end of twenty~fnr hoturs had col * lected more than a pint of millers andl flies. It was then empjtied, aiid its contents buried. This bottle was again replenishedl, and at the end of ten hours more, had collected nearly a quart of' millers and flies. All the bottles put otit (eight) had gathered perhaps two qnaurts more of millers and flies during the same time. .If the placing of bottles thus baited in the different gardens in the city could be brought about, a serious pest would be in a greatt degree mitigted. .

To SALERATr-s EATmaS.-At a late conven tion of Dentists, it was asserted that the main if -. inot the sole cause of the great increase of ale fe-tive teeth was'the use of saleratus and cream of tartar in the maniufieture of bread; and Dr. Pa~ker fully agreed with the facts offered in proof, nelding the results of some experiments made by himself. He soaked sound teeth in a solu tion of. saleratus, and they were destroyed in f.,urteen days I We here have the opinion of men whose talents, time and zeal are given to dentistry, that anleratus and cream of tartar in breed are a chief cause of ruin to teeth. Now will those who know this fact go on, eating all that comes in their way, without inquiring what it is made off-N. Y. Presbytria. PUBLISIED EVERY WEDNEIDAY MORNING. I'.
