Great improvement has taken place within a few years in tho construction of plows and'in the mode of plowing, but there is^till room for much further im? provement, particularly in tho mode of plowing. The perfection of plowing is described as "tho inversion of the surfaco %o\\ of 3'our field at an even depth, with a furrow slice cut in perfectly straight lines, of a certain width and thickness, and tho same in every part of the field, either laid com? pletely flat on its back, (if green sward or stubble,) or made to recline upon its neighbor at an angle of forty-five de? grees." It would bo next to impossible to lay down uniform rules as to tho proper depth of plowing, tho width of thofurrow,how often the land should bo plowed, or at What seasons. All these must be varied by a number of circumstances, such as the' character of the soil and the purpose to be attained. On thin, poor land it would do harm instead of good to turn up to tho surface large quantities of tho cold, barren and inactive soil in which to sow tho seod, while the thin surfaco soil was buried away where the roots could never reach it through the poor soil. We havo seen ft remarked that "the depth to Which land should bo turned (not broken) uhould bo regulated, in every case, by the depth of the soil. If that be but one inch, the land should be turned not more than one inch and a half. Tho proper rule to ob 6orvo is to turn over just so much of tho subsoil as will glaze the surface. In pro? portion as you go beyond this, tho crop for that ye^r will be diminished, but tho land will be ultimately bencfittcd." These remarks refer only to the depth of land to be turned up. However shallow the froil is turned, in every case the subsoil should be broken and made loose with a subsoil plow as deep as tho plow'can be made to penetrate. To loosen the soil and make it friable so. that tho roots of plants may easily penetrate it in search of nutriment; to allow tho rain and air to enter it, and thus bring supplies of ?xygen and ammonia to feed tho plants; ancTto mix manures with the soil so as to make them available for plant-food, constitute the objects of plowing. There are wide differences of opinion among practical men as to tho proper depth of plowing, some recommending three inches as the proper depth, and oth? ers seven or eight; but the weight of opinion of tho best agriculturists, both in the Old and. the New worlds, is in favor of plowing to a depth of seven inches, and then loosening the subsoil to a depth of eight or nine inches more, by a subsoil plow following in tho same furrow. Thus 'the land is broken to a depth of fifteen or sixteen inches, and without bringing to the surface any of tho inert subsoil which is not suited to vegetation, it is gradually mixed with tho top soil and made activo by the admission of light, heat and moisture, while at the same time the roots of tho plant bavo the means of expansion in every direction. On most, if not all, of our lands which have been cultivated "in the old way," that is, scratched on the surface by a ''turn-shovel" or a "scooter," below the surface soil is a "bard pan," made hardor every year by tho sole of tho scratching plow and tho treading of tho horses in tho furrow, through which it is impossible for tho roots of a plant to penetrr.te, and which is as impervious as a stone to air and moisture. By deep plowing and subsoiling, this hard pan is broken, (not brought to the surface,) the loam or veg? etable mould of the top soil descends to, and is partially incorporated with it, it becomes accessible to the air and light, and acquires tho character and properties of mould. Few people who havo not given the subject special study are aware of the depth to which the roots of plants will go in search of food and moisture, if the soil is so broken as to allow them to pen? etrate it. It is an ascertained fact that the roots of corn will extend to the depth of fivo or six feet; wheat, three feet; eotton, four or fivo feet; clover, threo Sect; turnips and carrots, three feet; and lueero, to a depth of twenty feet! It is undeniably true that the deeper tho soil, the deeper tho roots of plants will do scend, and tho deeper the roots can pene trato the more vigorous and productive will be the plants. "Deep culture and thorough pulverization of tho soil," says Governor Bowie, of. Maryland, " are amongthe rudiments of good husbandry." After deep plowing, the next conside? ration is the width of the "furrow-slice." In old plowed land a very narrow furrow is most desirable, and in stubble or sod, where it is intended to completely invort the surface and turn undor all the vegeta? ble matter, the furrow-slico, to turn over well, should bo in width equal to one third more than its depth, and should bo laid over, one upon the other, at an anglo of forty-five degrees, so as to leave tho lar? gest possible surfaco of the upturned soil to the influences of tho atmosphere. An eminent Scotch agriculturist says correct plowing should possess the follow? ing characteristics : " Tho furrow-slices should bo quite Straight. They should bo quito parallel in length, and this property shows that they have been turned over of uniform thickness, for thick and thin slices lying together present irregularly horizontal lines. The furrow-slices should be of the same height, which shows that they have been cut of tho samo breadth, for slices of different breadths, laid together at whatever angle, present unequal vertical lines. The furrow-slices should present to tho eye a similar form of erect and equal surface, should have their back and face parallel, and should lie over to the same angle. The ground on being plow? ed should feel equally firm under the foot at all places." By tho diligent use of a two-horse turn plow, of anjT of the newest and most ap? proved models, followed by a Brinly or a Murfce sub-soiler, the great object of plowing?a thorough pulverization of tho soil?can be attained, avenues for the en? trance of those natural' fertilizers, heat, air, light and moisture, are opened, a aoit. porous bed, through which tho roots of plants can easily penetrate and extend in every direction in search of nourishment, will be afforded, the manures which are applied will bo thoroughly mixed with the soil, and the rocky portions of tho land under the decomposing action of the atmosphere will supply that mineral food which contributes so largely to the growth and fruitfulness of our crops. The looser, more pulverized, and finer tho soil, the healthior and more productive will be the plants we cultivate, and tho suicrour protection against drought and ''bad sea? sons." The key to the accomplishment of all this is good, deep plowing. Corn Culture?Mr. Dickson's Plan. During our visit to Mr. Dickson's plan? tation last summ'fir, M?e gathered some in? teresting facts in regard to his system of farming, a portion of which were given to our readers in our October number, and have been extensively copied throughout the ?outh. Our attention, in the article alluded to, was more particularly directed to cotton. We purpose now to speak of his mode of planting and working his. corn crop. WHEN* AND ilOW TO ? BREAK UP THE LAND. It should be remembered that in Mr. Dickson's system of rotation, corn follows cotton. He expressed the opinion that, as a rule, the later the land is broken up the better for both the land and the crop ; but where a large area is to be planted, the plowing must be commenced by the first day of January in his latitude?earlier further South. Mr. Dickson's plantation is situated in a rolling country?"hilly, perhaps, it may be called?and he lays off his land so that the teams go round the hills on a level, the dirt falling down the hill. "A team," he says, "will break up the soil nine incheu deep in this way as easily as it could sev? en inches on level ground." He, we think, uses two horses to the plow, one team fol? lowing another, and all the time going round the circle. If the land is to be sub soiled, -a subsoil plow follows each turning 4>low. The ground is then ready for LAYING CFF AND rLANTING. . Mr. Dickson's directions for laying off and planting, are as follows: "Lay off fur? rows with a long shovel plow, on a level, seven feet apart. Commence at the oppo? site end, with a longer shovel, and open out the same furrow. The reason for this is, you get up to trees and stumps, and make a better -finish at the ends. This furrow should stand open seven or eight inches deep. Whether you use compost, cotton seed or guanos, let each hand have his three foot measure, and deposit the manure in the bottom of the furrow, ju6t three feet apart. Then drop the com within three or four inches ol the manure, one or more grains, as is your custom? dropping on the near side of the ma? nure, as the dropper goes; then, with a very Fght harrow, cover the coru one or one and a half inches deep. The harrow should go the same way the dropper goes, to prevent from pulling the manure on the grain." Low planting, but not deep covering, it will be perceived, is the rule, and we are able, from personal experience, to endorse, to the fullest extent, the principle involved, though we have not been accustomed to make onr furrows quite so deep as Mr. Dickson does. To cover deep, however, is to lose the advantage of low planting, for the corn will, in all cases, throw out its roots near the surface. WORKING THE CROr. Mr. Dickson says that he is opposed to earthing the corn as soon as it comes- up. In the latitude of Middle Georgia, he usually finishes his first working from the 20th of April to the 10th of May. For the first plowing he uses a heavy twenty-two inch sweep, with the right wing so set, that its back end will not be more than one inch above the ground? This is to run near the corn, and should fill the furrow within one or one and a half, inches of the general surface. lie breaks out the middles with the same sized sweep, with the back of both wings tared up. If the plowing is well done, four furrows will finish out?four hands completing fourteen acres every day. For the second plowing, he has the wing of the siding sweep turned a little more than half up, and runs close to the corn, leaving nothing for the hoe; for if the plowing is well done there is no use for a hoe. He breaks out the middles, with three furrows, to make a good place to plant peas. He plants peas from the first to the 20th of June, in his latitude. This is the way he does it: After the sec? ond plowing, he runs a shovel furrow in the middle between two corn rows, and drops one bushel of peas to every eight acres?say six to eight peas to a hill.? Sixteen acres per day can be planted, and will use two bushels to each plow. He covers with a harrow. For the third and last plowing, he pairs his hands, putting one to side the corn and one to side the peas. The hand that sides the corn uses a twenty-two inch sweep, right-hand wing well up, and runs close to the corn?not going more than a half inch deep, and thus cutting no corn roots. The left wing should be nearly flat. The hand that sides the peas uses a heavy twenty-six inch sweep, with the. right wing set at medium height, runs it near the peas, so as to fill the pea furrow en? tirely up. The left wing should be up, to push the dirt near the corn. This is the last plowing, and should leave the field smooth and entirely free from weeds and grass. For manure he uses the Dickson Com pound, described in our October number, and on his land (some of it very poor and seventy years under the plow} averages from twenty to twenty-five bushels of corn to the acre, never fdiling to make a crop, be the weather wet or dry. What is the secret ? Deep breaking up; liberal manuring; shallow, level culture ! These are the means by which a good crop of corn can be made every year I When our farmers have all learned this simple lcfson, (and it shall not be our fault if they do not learn it,) there will be no more failures of the corn crop.?Rural Carolinian. The Jacques Stump Extractor.?For many years, indeed as long as the clear ing of forest land for agricultural purpo? ses has been necessary, (and this period dates anterior to the days of Columbus,) the great difficulty in clearing has been -to get rid of the stump or root of the tree which remained in the ground after the tree was felled and converted into the thousand and one usos for which the tim? ber was necessary. In such land, inter layed with roots and stumps, the modern improvements in agricultural implements could not bo made use of, and in these days when all such labor-saving machines are most essential to the thriving fanner or planter, he must first look to the radi cal'clcaring of his land. Our enterprising fellow-citizen and mas tor mechanic, Mr. James M. Eason, has given this subject much of his attention of late, and has been so successful as to invent a very simple machine, which has been illustrated and descriocd in the De? cember number of the Rural Carolinian, but which was not put to tho test until yesterday. This new invention of Mr. Eason is appropriately called tho "Jacques stump extractor;" and on trial yesterday, with a Icverago of only 36 inches, it raised 1600 tons of iron ; while the young man who worked the lever felt no more inconvenience than it working a common cistern pump. With a ten-foot leverage, a man, it is supposed, could raise one hun? dred tons; and the stump which would rosist this force should be left to its na? tive bed. Mr. Eason has appplicd fora patent for tho extractor, and in the course of ft few days will take it up to some of the neigh? boring farms and extract some of tho hind teeth of old mother earth.?Charles-, ton jfteics. An Appreciative Auditor.?A lectu? rer relates the following among his expe? rience*: "I remember, once, when making an effort at the pathetic, I touched a secret chord of every heart and brought to view a little coffin, over which the grass had grown green in summer and the frosts had whitened in winter for many a year. She was my darling child, scarce two years old, but, in my love for her, more than threescore years and ten. With all a father's love, I pictured how, from day to dayj, I 6aw her fade away. I told them how at length, one August morning, the sun an hour high, she was prepared for her long flight. The angel came, invisi? ble to me, but I knew that.he was there, and with his pencil dipped in some raj'of living and eternal light he dipped her lit? tle cj'clids o'er. We had watched long and were wearied, and when night cirac the shutters were closed .ind tho doors all barred an old gray-headed man la}- him down beside the little coffin and slept. It seemed lonesome to us to leave her sn, but the thin lips needed no m?ro moisten? ing now?tho pulso had ceased to beat, the heart was forever still. "And when the morrow came wo put her away among the grass and flowers and singing birds. In the fullness of our almost breaking hearts I was about to mourn that thus they made an angel ftwny off yonder, where tho young and lovely never die,' and the flowers never fado, when to my great surprise, one of my hearers, an old lady, hustled to her feet and, with her eyes in tears, vehemently exclaimed, 'I want to know, stranger, if that child died.' I gavo up the pathetic." Tue Natur of Roosters.?Roosters, according to profane history, if mi cduka shun remembers rno aright, were former? ly a man, who cum suddenly upon one ov tho heftthen gods, at a time when he was not prepared tow seo company, and waz for that offence rebuilt over into the first rooster, and waz forever afterwards des? tined tew crow, az a kind ov warning. This change from a mftn akounts for their fighting abilities, and for their politeness tow the hens. Tharo is nothing in a man that a woman admires more than his red dyness and ability to smash another fel? low, and it iz jis so with ft hen. When ft rooster gets licked, the hens all march off with the other rooster, if ho ain't half so big or handsome. It is pluck that wins a hen or a wo? man. Roosters doo but very littlo household work. They won't lay enny eggs ,noi* try to hatch enny, nor sec to the young ones. This satisfys me that thcro is some truth in the mithological akount ov the roos? ter's fust origin. Yu kan't git a rooster to pay attenshun to a young one; tha spend their time in crowing, strutting and occasionally find ft worm, which the}' make a remarkable fuss over, calling their wives from ft distftneo, apparently to treat them, but jis az the hens <jit thare, this elegant and elaborate coxcomb bends over and gobbles up the morsel. Just like a man, for all the world.? Josh Billings. A Practical Application.?Nicholas Wain, though a regular Quaker preacher, was a grcftt wag, and many of tho good things said by him are still current in cer? tain Philadelphia circles. Ho was once traveling in tho interior of Pennsylvania, in company with two methodist preachers. They discussed tho points of difference in their respective sects, until they arrived ftt the inn whore they were to put up for tho night. At suppor, Wain was seated between the two methodists, ftnd before thorn was placed ft plate contftining two trout. Each of tho circuit-riders plnoed his fork in ft fish nnd transferred it to his plato, after which each shut his eyes and said an nudiblo graco boforo ment. The Quaker availed himself of the opportuni? ty to transfer both of tho trout to his own plate, merely remarking, when tho others opened their eyes, "Your religion teaches you to pray, but mine teaches mo both to watch and pray." My Wife's Bridal Tour. BY MOSE SKINNER. When I married my second wife, 6he was dredful set about going off on a bri? dal tour. I told her she had better wait six months or a year, and I'd try to go with her, but she said she rather go alone ?when a woman was traveling a man was an out-and-out humbug. So I gave her seventy-five cents, and told her to go off and have a good time. I never begrudge money where my wife's happiness is concerned. My firat wife never could complain of not going any? wheres, for I'm dreadful fierce to go off on a good time myself, and always was. I don't pretend to say how many times I took her out to sec the engine squirt, and there was no end to the free lectures I let her go to. The ncighbots used to say : "It does beat all how the Skinners go !" When Sigrior Elitz was in Slunkville, with his wonderful canaries, he gave my wife a complimentary ticket. I not only sold that ticket for my wife, but I gave her half the money. I don't boast of it, though; only mention it to show how much I thonglit of my wife's happiness. I don't think , any man ought to get married till he can consider hi? wife's happiness only second to his own. John Wise, a neighbor of mine, did thusl}', and when I got married I concluded I'd do like Wise. But the plan didn't work in the case of my second wife. No, I should think not. I broached the subject kindly. "Matilda," I said, "I suppose you arc aware that I am now your lord and mas? ter." "Not much you ain't," said she. "Mrs. Skinner," I replied, k'you are fearfully demoralized. You need reor? ganizing at once. You arc cranky." And I brandished my sixty-two cent umbrella wildly around her. She took the umbrella away from me, and locked me up in the clothespress. I am quick to draw an inference, and tho inference I drew hero was, that I was not a success as a rcorganizcr of female women. After this, I changed my tactics. I let her have her own way, and the plan worked to ? charm from tho very first. It's tho best way of managing a wife that I know of. Of course this is between you and me. J So when my wife was bound to go off on a bridal tour anyhow, 1 cordially as? sented. "Go, Matilda," said I "and stay as long as you want to; then if you feel as though you would like to stay a little while longer, stay, my dear, stay." Sho told me to stop talking, and go up stairs and get her rod flannel night-cap, and that'bag of penny-royal for her aunt Abigail. My wife is a very smart woman. She was a Baxter, and the Baxters arc a very smart family indeed. Her mother, who is going on eighty, can fry more slap-jacks now,than half these primped uppity girls, who rattle on the piano, or else walk the street with their furbelows and fixings, pretending to get mad if a young chap looks at 'em pretty hard, but getting mad in earnest if you don't take an}- notice of them at all. Ah ! girls ain't what they used to be when I was young, and the fellows arc worse still. When I went courting, for instance, I never thought of staj'ing till after ten o'clock, and only wont twice a week. Now they go seven nights in a week, and cry because there ain't eight. They write touching notes to each other during tho day. "Dear George, do you love mo as much now as \'ou did at a quarter past twelve "last night ? Say you do, dear? est, and it will givo me courago to go down stairs and tacklo them cold beans left over from yesterday." Well, well, I suppose they enjoy them? selves, and it ain't for us old folks, whose hearts have got a little calloused by long wear, to interfere. Let them get together and court if they like it, and I think they do. I was forty-sc*ven when I courted my present wife, but it seemed just as nice to sit on a little cricket at her feet and let her smooth my hair, as it did thirty years ago. As I said before, my wife is a very smart woman, .but she couldn't be any? thing else, and a Baxter. Sho used to givo lectures on Woman's Jlights, and in one placo where she lectured, a big cols lege conferred the title of L. L. D. upon her. But she wouldn't take it. "No, gentlemen," sho said, "give it to the poor." She always was just so charitable. She gave my boys permission to go barofoot ed all winter, and insisted upon it so much in her kind way, that thoy could not re? fuse. Sho fairly dotes on my children, and I've seen her many a timo go to their trowscrs pocktet and tako out their pen? nies after they'd got to sleep, and put them in her bureau drawer for fear they might loose them. * * * I started to tell you about my wife's bridal tour, but tho fact is, I never could find out much about it myself. I believe sho had a good timo. She came back im? proved in health, and 1 found out, before she had been in tho house twenty-four hours, that 6he had gained in strength al? so. I don't say how I found it out. I simply say I found it out. In conclusion I would say to all young men : Marry your second wife first, and keep out of debt by all means, even if you havo to borrow monoy to do it. ? Judge Jerry Black, who was Mr. Buchanan's Attorney General and Secre? tary of- State after Gen. Cass' resignation of that office, is preparing a statement, which will be made public in a few days, giving a history of the occurrences from November to the 4th of March preceding Mr. Lincoln's inauguration, concerning the action of the Administration in its endeav? ors to reipforco Fort Sumter, and the po? sition which he and the late Edwin M. Stanton maintained regarding that matter. He will make known a portion of the se? cret history of that period, which will, of course, be interesting. ? A young lady was alighting from an omnibus, when a ribbon fell from her bon? net to tho floor of tho stage. "You havo loft your beau behind," remarkod a lady passenger.

The suit of the Rothschilds against the Ssate of Virginia for a quantity of to? bacco stored in one of the warehouses at Richmond at the time of the evacuation, has been revived. Messrs. Ould and Car rington have been employed as counsel, and at the next term of the court a motion will be made for judgment. Tne amount claimed is about 8250,000. At one time the Confederate authorities half way agreed that this tobacco might go through the lines, and under a permission from President Lincoln and Secretary Stanton, two French ships came up as far as City Point to receive it. Although it had been hauled to Rocketts, it was not allowed to be shipped through, and was returned to one of the warehouses, where it was de? stroyed in the great fire of the 3rd of April.
