In roplying to inquiries elsowhore, mention is niaelo of a recent visit to Ute farm of Mr. Orme, near West Point, Georgia. It is an historic farm, the first terracing of laud in thc manner now so gcucmlly practiced having been done there. A former owner observing that nu old hillside ditch ruu nearly on a level, and which had become obstructed, tilled up and overgrown with weeds and grass, bad caught tue washings from above and saved the soil, conceived the idea that a narrow bcd or dani run on a leve w uld do the B0?1Q thing. Ile prece ' d to construct some of these, and thinking that the edge ot' n terrace more than three feet high would l e very incon venient in a field, located Ut om at Mich distances apart that the difference in level between two successive cues should bc just that amount. Subsequent ex perience has shown that he hit upon thc very best distance. When Orme subse quently purchased thc tann, he quickly perceived tho value of the discovery, und terraced all his lund as rapidly as it was brought into cultivation. Tho result is simply marvelous. Without a hillside ditch on the place, and. entirely through the agency of terracing, steep' hillsides, which were formerly defaced by great gullies, have changed uno smooth, level terraces, susceptible of highest cultiva tion. Whero the lines of level had been correctly run, the results nero perfect; in a few instances, incorrect running had caused slight wash, s. We saw terraces which wt re established some fifteen years ugo. Tho .<oil had accumulated on their upper sides until the intervi nmg surface had become almost or quite level, just as it appears in yards and gardens where the work is done with spade and shovel. A little bod ulong tho line ot level is thrown up by two furrows of a large plow, the centre of tho bed not being disturbed and remaining firm. This strip, about a foot wide under the bcd, is very important, as it prevents the bed from being cut through by heavy rains before the growth of grass and weeds have strengthened it. To facilitate this strengthening, grass seed aro sown on the boils as soon us they are thrown up blue grass perhaps the best tor thc pur pose. Nothing moro is required bid to repair any point through which water may have cut before the bcd was wei: established, to mow down every year thc weeds, bushes or briars that may have sprung up, and to plow well down t<< thc upper edge of the terrace border to keel: it from widening too much. Thc lo wei edge of the border should be kc pt nicelj trimmed by running the plow near it, but care should be taken never to under mine it. If these rule- aro observed, tin uncultivated terrace bord .r will not ex ceed a foot and a half in horizon'a width, though its vertical height m.rj reach th rei feet. Such is thc process by which a broken, hilly farm has been held firm against tin. ravages of water, and which, by judicious cultivation and manuring, has beeu made one of the most beautiful and val uable in the country, ll thc terrae, border or beti can only bo held until it becomes linn and tilled with roots. UH battle is won. If it is broken, promptly repair it, and as Mr. Orale's experience clearly demonstrates, you will finally succeed. His land is now no mon liabh to wash than thc most gently inclined planes. The manure put upon it is in no danger of being carried into thc sea, He holds both soil and manure firmly ii his grasp. Pointing to tho soil whicl has been held by the terrace border, alu which, in some cases, hau accumulate! to the depth of two and a half or th rei feet, Mr. Orme very pertinently asked What would have become of that soil i only hillside ditches had been present' Would it not all have been washed inti and carried away by those ditch sV Wi could not answer no. Our faith in ter races has been greatly strengthened bj inspecting this tarin. They have bool tested-testeil by prolonged time (fiftcei years i, tested on deep declivities aud ol gentle inclines, and tested oil a variety of soils; in each and every case thc vcr diet is, successful.
