NEWMAN (-IVES II IS VIEWS. hi Response to uu inquiry Ho Writes Interestingly ton corning the Value ol Subsoiling. Mr Charles Petty of Spaitanburg recently obtained Iroiu Pro . Newman the following in roler enco to aubaoiling lan i: CleiDbon College. Mr. Charle- Petty, Spartan ! tanburg, 8. C.?Dear 8ir: In response to your inquiries of the l-lth inet, I havo been laboring for thirty years for the pr mo-, tion of better methods in .111" Southern agriculture and through ; this tho increase of intelligent:and prosperity of our farmers Your first question as to the no J cossity of deepening and more thoroughly pulverizing the soil before planting strikes at tlm , root of tho matter. The m-ist ' important thing for the farme; to' do is to secure good icxlu.e ' through tire agency of thorough tillage. Without this much! labor in the planting, fertilizing and cultivating the crop is done in vain. There is an ohl saying, which is especially applicable to; farming, viz: "One bad job , makes another." If good fixturej is not secured before planting1 we are apt to have poor stands of j weakly plants, poor cultivation and small crops. If the soil is broken only a few inches in depth, and even this much not pulverized, there can be no storage of moisture again1-'* I a summer drought, but oriom 1 risk of surface washing upon ' tolling lands, since the compact subsoil or bar!pan resists the 1 -1 ? i c .? 1 iiowuwuru penetration 01 i!.< 1 bummer si oivers, tKo small j amount of broken soil >oon becomes saturated, ami the water which should sink into the subsoil llows on ill Hurl ,Ci-. Tins is ( the season for deep ploughing and | tut broiling, while Jack Frost, the best pulverizer, is renderinc cfli- i cietit aid. Walk ovoi the fields ' now and obseiNu tin- iw?-I!ow con dition of the surface, md notion ' that the clod.; which were lVt < iltrouuii poor - lait spring ' crumble under tlm foot The 1 surface brting pulveuzed by tl . i Irost presents little re-i*taneo to < the plough, and hc-i iv tin same team can pull the plough one or ! two inelu - dc pi r than if will be:' able to !;? afl< r the baking rains 1 niiM n:; mjr woe's < ! M irch One or two inch s of the sub-; soil nmy bo turned up now with advantage, since the frost will pulverize it and ntiridic it with the sc?i 1. If this is done in spring the portion of the subsoil turned up will bake into clods and remain so dur;ng the sum mcr. Every tiller of the soil >hould learn as his lirst and most important lesson th" value of a! deep soil, thoroughly pulverized to admit a free penetration of the air and circulation of m<dv ture, rendering tht pi netr; ;i? and multiplication of tl ahso bing root so/face - possible. This simplifies .and facilitates all subsequent operation in produ | cing t ho crop. There is another old -eying which i.^ applicable here, viz: "Thorough prepera-i tjon is half cultivation." Thorough preparation and shallow cultivation should ho our motto. WHAT FKHTIin/HCH IS NKKDKD. As to your <|iiestioii about. 1 ho amount of pliosphoric acid and potash is the first 10 or '20 incites of our "Piedmont clays?" 1 have no sourco of accurate information. Prof. Bailey, in "The Principles of Agriculture," says; " Roberts calculates from many analysis that in average agricultural lands the surface eight inches of soil on each acre contains ovei 3,000 pounds .ANCASTER, s! C? BA of nitrogen, nearly 4,<)()<? pounds of phosphoric acid .and over 17,000 pounds of potash." Much of these essential elements of plant food is locked up in insoluble compounds. Hv t.hm?mi?fb tillage, admitting iho oxygen of the air to which the fine particles of soil are exposed, toy allowing an abundant absorption of moisture to dissolve the mineral plant food liberated by the chemical action of the oxygen upon the insoluble compounds, and by incorporating organic matter into the soil th^re will he less need of artificial fertilizers, and those applied will proye more efficient.

On November 24 of that year an Act was passed by the legislature of South Caro li: ?. 'Mo authorize the formation of a com pan\ for constructing railroads or canals from the city of Charleston to tho towns ol Columbia, Camden and Ilam burg." This was the beginning of the South Carolina Railroad. Early tho next year the scheme of building this road, for which a charter had been obtained, was agitated and the town council ot Charleston had an experimental railroad constructed on the lot at the northwest corner of YVentwor'h and Smith streets, which j fully demonstrated the fact <lthat 'room iron viieel would run J over :i smooth iron rail." In the n--.\< t?vr> years the plane were j perfected, and on January 9. 1830, the building of the road b mn ;f Lino Stre- t, in Charlesou.
