Plowing-.
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.
