I'AIISI AND PLANTATION TOPICS. From the Rural Carolinian. deled plants and their teachings. A friend who had devoted much atten tion to vegetable physiology, especially in its relation to agriculture, lately showed us two interesting specimens of dried'plants. One was the common oat, which the botanists class among the Graminece, or grasses, and the other vetch, a leguminous plant, allied to the garden pea, the bean, the lupines, and n the clovers. The plants had been grown in flawex-pots, from which the ball of earth had been taken and carefully washed away from the roots, leaving them unbroken and entire. The oat plant, or, rather, olump of plants, pre sented a mass of roots whioh would be likely to astonish the nnobserving farm er and] opbn his eyes to the necessity of giving his crop breadth and depth of soil, as well as something to feed upon. The bulk and weight of the roots was, we think, two to one at least as com pared with tho parts growing above ground. In the votoh, on the contrary, the proportion was reveraed?the roots making not more than one-third of the entire bulk. Now the vetch, like the olov&gg, js Jfpund to bo exceedingly rich in nitrogen, and therefore very valuable as a green-soiling crop. Whon plowed under, it enriches the soil by supplying the roquired nitrogenous plant food, j Where and how this and similar plants j get the vast amount of nitrogen, whioh they store up to enrich the soil, is, per- I hap:?, an open question. It was former-1 ly believed that plants like vetch, gar den peas, buckwheat, etc., whoso roots are comparatively small and of limited extension, absorb ammonia directly from tho atmosphere through their leaves. Lato experiments seem to show conclusively that this is not tho case. They get it through the roots exclusive ly, but it still appears certain that it must be the atmosphere that supplies it. It is (in its elements) in the air, tho rains and the dew whioh permeate the soil,; and in that laboratory of nature, and decomposed and mado available in the form of ammonia. These facts, thus briefly and imperfectly stated, teach several lessons of immense practical value to tho farmer. l.'That different olasses of plants have different modes of feeding, as distinctly shown by their roots. 2. That -certain leguminons plante, and probably all of them, in a greater or less degree, ore great pur veyors of nitrogenous plant food, and should therefore be made use of as green soiling crops to onrioh tho land for the grains and tho fibre-bearing plantb, tho limo and other nub elements being; cheaply obtainable to complement them. 8. That in view of the fact that the fertilizing elements whioh are elab orated in the soil come so largely from the atmosphere, it is of the utmost im portance that the land \)o well broken up and the soil kept loose and porous by judicious1 and-frequent cultivation, no that air and moisture can freely pene trate it. ,HHJ IMPROVEMENT OF CLAYEY SOILS. One of the principal defeots of olayey BoilB, especially where they rest upen a subsoil of the samo nature, is the ex cess of water which is held in thorn. The only effectual way in a majority of oases to get rid of this is by thorough nnderdraining. This draws off by im perceptible degrees all tho exoess of water and opens the soil to the free ad mission of the air, which in its passage through it imparts warmth and suoh fertilizing gases as it may contain. Open drains or ditohes, though less effectual, are useful. In some oases water furrows', terminating in some ravirie'oY 'flit?h, serve a good pupose. Lime is exceedingly useful as an ameli orator of olayoy soils, iudnoing chomi oal combinations, the mechanical eiTee. of whioh is to break up tho too groat tenacity of the clay, while it adds, at the samo time, an element of fertility which may perhaps bo wanting. Gyp sum, or piaster of Paris, has tho same effect in a still moro powerful degree. Ashes, coarse vegetable manures, straw, loaves, ohipa, etc., aro also very useful, adding new materials to the soil, and tonding to separate its particles and de stroy thoir strong cohesion. Olayoy lands must never be plowed whon wet. CLOVER AS AN ACCUMULATOR Ol-'NITROOEN. Wo find it stated that Dr. Voolokor, by a series of tho most exhaustive an alyses of soils and of plants, has discov ered and established the fact that an immense amount of nitrogenous food ncoumnlates in the soil during tho growth of clover, especially in tho sur face soil; amounting, inolnding that in the olover roots and tops, to thrco and a half tons of nitrogen per aoro; equal to four tons and a third of ammonia. If this be a fact, the wonderful effects of olover, votoh, and similar plante on the soil cease to be mysterious, and tho farmer need no longer buy ammonia in his commercial fertilizers, bnt only add to the soil the limo and other ash ele ments required, whioh can bo choaply furnished in available forms. CHEATED?THE BROMU8 BE0ALIMJ8 SWIN DLE, Bometimo ago a speoimen of wheat, in whioh there were a few grains of chess, or cheat, was presented to the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Soienoes. It seemed at first as if the scientists wore to bo confounded and naturo made to con trad iot herself. The speoimen laid boforo the learned men of the academy was a head of wheat, to which small branches of chess were united, and apparently in n vory natural manner. The specimen was finally re* ferred to the " microscopical section," who report that the thing was a trick. The ohess was nearly inserted into the wheat stalk, and held there by a sub stanoo" which tho committee believe to be gum tragaoonth." winter PLANTING in the south. In ordinary seasons, our winters in the lower south, or South Atlantic and Gulf Ooast regions, are so mild that the hardier vegetables grow finely, and re main uninjured during the coldest months?December and January?-but, occasionally, severer freezes occur, and tho gardener must'be content to take some risks, even in the ease of tho hardiest speoieB. This, in tho limited operations of the family garden, he can well afford to do, for failure costs mere ly a little not unpleasant labor and a few seeds, and success rewards him with an early and excel lent crop. An excellentoontrivanoe for securing plants in rows against frost consists in two boards, a foot wide, nailed together at the edges in the form of a threo-cor nerod trough, made of light thin boards; these are easily handled, and a few such protectors will be found very useful. - It is bettor that tho ends should be closed, though the more shel ter of the lateral pioees will bo sufficient in cose of light frosts. In planting seeds of any kind at this soason of the year, it is best that tho rows shoul d be slightly elevated abovo tho general sur face, and tho covering be light. A good way is to saw on the surface, and then scatter or sift over them a little vegeta ble mold or light soil. USEFUL KNOWLEDGE. Cabbage WonM.?After trying vari ous remedies, we have found boiling hot water from a watering-pot, the simplest, easiest, and most effectual modo of destroying the cabbage worm. If applied quickly and not too long on the leaves, it produces no injury. It is easy repeated as ocoasion requires. It may not bo possible to proouro sand enough for mixing with large quantities of roots intended as food for stock. Tho next best thing to bo done is to keep them seoure from frost, light and air, and to prevent heating and fer mentation by the ueo of air-flues. Oar rots, rutabogaB, beets and mangolds should bo stored before they are dam aged by frost, as thoy never keep well after boing frozen.? Western Mural. Family Glue.?We make our glue in the following way; Crack up the glue and put it in a bottle ; add to it common whisky ; shako up, cork tight, and in three or four days it can be used. It requires no beating, will keep for almost any time, nnd is at all times ready to use except in the coldest of weather, when it will require warm ing. It must be kept tight, bo that the whisky will not evaporate. Tho usual corks or stoppers should not bo need. It will become clogged. A tin stopper, covering tho bottle but fitting as closely as possible, must bo used. The United States of America pro duce annually about 275,000,000 bushels of wheat, or about 6} bushels per cap ita. Of this amonnt they consume over 230,000,000 bushels, or about 5J bushels per capita; and havo about 42, 000,000 surplus left for sale, The United Kingdom of Great Britain nnd Ireland produces annually about 05, 000,000 bushels of wheat, and consumes 100,000,000 bushels, or about 6} bush els per capita. It has therefore a de ficit to purohaso, amounting to as much, of wheat, as all it produces, or 95,000, 000 bushels. Thus, England has two bushels of wheat to buy where wo have ono to sell. Staiu Carpets.?To prevent the pilo from separating at the edge of the stair and wearing off, pads are usod ; these aro mado of a low grado of cotton, cov ered with tho choapest muslin. A quilt or comfort that has soon sorvico will answer the purpose of stair pads. In additiv, u to increasing tho leaso of use fulness of tho earpot, tho pads provont noisy clattering of feet, aud, in ense tho baby should fall downstairs, tho injury rocoivod would bo materially lessonod. Whon first laid down the oarpot should bo several inches longer than needed, that it may bo disposed of after each shaking so that n fresh placo may oome to all tho edges. A wisp or small diiBting broom is tho best for sweeping stair oarpots. After thor ough sweeping n wot cloth may bo used to good advantage in removing all dust. M akv was the proprietress of a dimin utive, inoipient sheep, whoso outer cov ering was as devoid of oolor as congealed vapor, aud to all localities to which Mary perambulated, her young South down was morally certain to follow.

PREPARING FOB WAR. A. Special Alssiago from tho President? Recommending an Appropriation for Scn-COant Defenses. The president sent the following message to the senate and honae of representatives: In my annual message of December 1, 1878, while inviting general attention to recommendations made by the secre tary of war, your speoial attention was invited to the importance of the prep aration for war in the armament of our sea-coast defenses proper. This armament is of vastly more importance than fortifications. The latter can be supplied very speedily for temporary purposes when needed. The former cannot. These views gain inoreased strength as years roll by. I have now again the honor to call special attention to the armament of our fortifications, and the absolute necessity for the im mediate provision by congress for the procurement of heavy cannon. The large expenditures required to supply the number of guns for our forts, is tho strongest argument that can be ad duced fcr a liberal ssnusl appropria tion for their gradual accumulation. In the time of * war suoh preparations cannot bo made. The constant appeals ' for legislation on tho armament of fortifications, ought no longer to be disregarded, if congress desires to prepare for important mate rial, without whioh the futuro must in evitably lead to disaster. This subjeot is submitted with the hope that the con sideration it deserves may be given it the present session. [Signed] U. 8. Gbant.
