? ^ FALL PLOVGIIIAO.
The1 Monthly Genesee Farmer, vol. 1,
page ISO, in an article on this subject,
* says:
1st. It is one of the established principles
of philosophical agriculture, that the
soil derives much of its productive pmpcrfi-nm
the air;>-and that chemical chan
v ? - . - .
ges and combinations arc constantly going
on, !>y which fertility is much ii -.reased.
Those alternative effects of the a'-j
mosphere, and these changes of the]
qualities of the soil, arc the more active]
and efficient as new surfaces arc exposed :
to new action. For instance, much great-1
er quantities of carbonic gas will bo absorbed
by a given surface of earth, if the 1
earth, is frequently stirred, than if it was;
allowed td"remain with a single saturated
surface. Ploughing, by exposing new
surfaces to the action of the atmosphere,
must be productive of essential benefit; I
? and as fall ploughing generally takes place!
after crops which have partially exhausted
the surface of some of its nutritive;
? * and absorbent qualities, its service in aid '
of spring crops is greatly enhanced.
-2d. There is always on land more or!
less grass, weed-, stubble, or other vege-j
table matters convertible into mould by j
fermentation and decomposition, a process!
which is greatly aided by being turned
? under the surface of the earth. Fall j
~i?.mniiope cnr.h substances much ;
piUU?U.II? iv..v,v..~
sooner available in advancing the growth !
of crops, than they would be if left un- j
* . covered during the winter, independent of
the great loss necessarily sustained by the!
* washing away of the litter materials and I
their dispersion by tfie winds.
3d. Nothing acts more efficiently on j
moist soils in promoting vegetation, than j
high pulverization; and fall ploughing aids
this operation most c5feentially. Lands
that if ploughed in the spring only, will
in large cakes t>r lumps, defying
Ep^j^Jie/effbrts of the farmer to reduce them
suitable, will if ploughed in the fall, he
.-4 . Xound loosened in texture and fitted for
" early operations in the spring of the year, j
'" Frost is the most disintegrator of the!
' soil with which the agriculturist is ac-1
quainted, and he should avail himself off
its available labors in all practicable cases.
^
/ 4th. The earlier the ground can be
prepared for the suitable reception of
spring crops, such as corn, spring wheat j
and barley, the better it will be found for i
the cultivator; and in nine cases out of,
ten, earty sown crops are the heaviest and '
mqjfproductive.
5th. Ploughing land acts more eflectu-1
ally in destroying insects than any other j
mode of treatment, and fall ploughing for j
this purpose is preferable to any other.? '
Those insects which produce the most'
" cnrh as the ffv.
miscmei 10 nic lunnvi, w? ?
cut-worm, grub, &c., cannot resist the
frost of our jvintcrs, if prematurely exposed
to its acti >n by a fall ploughing.?
The cut-worm which accumulates in such
numbers in old meadows and pastures, is
thus destroyed, and crops planted on them
saved.
Lastly. Our summers are so limited
in duration, that unbss the time allotted
. . .. to vegetation is fully occupied by the
growth and ripening of plants, the certain
jailu re of crops may be anticipated,
fence the farmer usually is more hurried
By his work in the spring than he ought to
be, in order to avoid having his crops
caught by the the frost and snow. It
should be the object of the farmer
to have his necessary labor as nearly
_ equalized through the season as possible,
and thus avoid all pressure at inconvenient
v: .^-fiBbasons of the year. Experience shows
^'that the farmer in most cases, has more
leasure hours in the fall of the year than
at any other time, and he who would
work it right, should employ this 4.ime in
advancing his next sp> trig's work?for
such, fall ploughing emphatically is?and
thus preventing the pressure of business
than usually felt.
Tomatoes for Cows.?It is not generally
known that this vegetable is a superior
article for food for Milch Cows. XVc.
have tried it two Summers, and find it
decidedly superior to any other vegetable
we have yet tried. They add greatly to
the quantity, as well as the richness of
* the milk, and give a rich golden color to
jthc cream and butter, which is at least
. pleasant to the eye, even if the flavor is
not improved. , We do not know however,
that they impart any richer flavor to
the butter.
We have known a cow to refuse them
fwhen first offered, but soon become very
fond of them, others?we believe, a large
mrjorilv, eat them greedily from the first.
Thus far we have ied them only in the
raw state, but ifb iiled'with corn meal, say
Uftii auci imuf iwu uiiitis iwiiuiuw ...v;
would doubtless be far better.
Tyrone who has a dairy farm, the cultivation
of an acre or two in tomatoes
would be repaid by greater profit than;
any vegetable we know. From one acre
not less than eight bushels might be gathered
daily From July until frost. There
is some trouble in picking tlrcm, but then j
nearl^fivery farmer has some small negroes,
of but trifling value in the field,
that might be very usefully employed ai
few hours each day in this work- In fact
* ^9*'
I if the farmer has children, his little boys |
| ?aye, and his boys loo, would not be
I worse ol a little work. V/c should .be;
iglad to sec the experiment, tried on a
larger scale than ours, and learn the result.?Temperance

'For the last twelve or thirteen yenrs I have resided
in the neighborhood of the White Sulphur
Springs, and have huifrequent opportunities of
>bscrving the beneficialjciffects of waters, when renoved
from llic spring in bottles and barrels, , "
The turtice properties' of this water depend upon \
lie satine ingiieuients which it contains. In coroboration
of tlii * opinion, I stale that I have known
ndividuals in this place use the water after it had
ict-n kept-in barrel Is for twelve months, and after it
ippearcd to have parted vvjth all or most of its volailc
properties, and that it acted as promptly and
efficiently as when used at the spring.

From the Rev. Win. S Plumer, D D. Editor of
- - A
the Watchman of the South.
The Subscriber has had considerable opportunity
if testing the value of the White Sulphur Water '
when brought to Richmond. He has used it in his
family the last summer and the present, nnd is hap- * ]
iy to be able to say, that it has been as valuable in
.liis way as a visit to the fountain would probably
lave been. ... , '

The same gentleman, in the "Wafchroan of .th?
>outh," of the 23J July, remarks, "The Editor of
his paper has used the White Sulphur VPater free-"?**'1
y, in his family, and has no doubt of its efficacy
'icing great in ordinary cas^s. , Tuking into conhdcration
tho comforts of home, he would, in ordi- ' "
i:iry cases, prefer the use of-the *"t..er itt casks to
1 visit to tho White Sulphur Springs. The
jood effects of the water brotighfifa casks to Richno
nd hare hern cery_ manifest."

While Sulphur Springs, lOlh Aug. 1840?
Sir?Towards the close ot the last session of
Congress, which had been protracted to an unusual
cngth, I fouiirl that the confinement to which I
lad been stihji ctcd had affected my health most' in- _
nriously. The tone of ray stomach was materially
cstroyed, and my digestive powers greatly impair
d. By the advice of my physician, I procured th*
rater of this Spring in bottles, and used it with
he happiest effects. I have no question that tha
A'hite Sulphur Water can le trunsjmted to any
istancr without impairing its medicinal properties- ,
Very respectfully, I am your obedient servant,
