never went mad after ihe ladies of modern times and f lie modern fine ladies a reservoir of moisture vhich is brought up to the roots of the plants by the evap oration which the heat of the sun occa sions 3 by deep ploughing also the ground may be more effectually cleared of root weeds of every description in particular it is the best mode of eradica ting thistles 4 by deep ploughing an imal and vegetable manures which have such a tendency to rise to the surface are properly covered this cannot be done by shallow ploughing in consequence of which much of the value of such manure is lost and 5 by deep ploughing a heavier crop is raised than can be got from a shallow furrow an intelligent farmer indeed after pointing out that deep ploughing increases the staple of the soil keeps the roots of the corn from being injured by wetness and also ena bles the crop longer to resist drought adds u i have ever found deep ploughing attended kith good crops when ridges shallow ploughed in the same field were but indifferent which seems a decisive proof in favour of deep ploughing 5 manner of laying the fur rowslice in several districts in england it is u- j sua to lay the furrowslice quite fiat and tlii- h particularly the case where there are no ridges but in northumberland and in scotland a contrary system i a- dopted it is founded on this idea that as two of the principal objects in plough ing are to expose as much surface as pas sible to the influence of the atmosphere and to lay the land so that the harrows may in the most efficient manner raise mould to cover the seed these objects are most effectually accomplished by ploughing land of every description with a furrowslice about seven inches deep and which if about ten inches and a half broad raises the fur row slice with a pro per shoulder forming the angle 43 the point which oujtto be referred to when determining between the merits of differ enc specjmtii ut ploughing re that purpose the depth of the furrow ihould in general bear a due proportion to its breadth that is about two thirds or as six inches deep is o nine broad in the southern counties of england they are j partial to the idea of smothering weed- by tillage this cannot be effected by placing the slices on an angle of 45 but b turning the furrowslice completely over for the purpose of buisiog tin- weeds and converting them to vegetable mould g seasons for executing he work this must greatly depend epon the soil and the state of the weather in ve ry dry light lands it is advisable that ploughing should be carried on in damp weather or even in rain particularly the last ploughing and the sowing of the seed on the other hand soils o so retentive a nature as to hold water much more in quantity than is useful to vegetation ought to be ploughed in a medium state neither wet nor dry when peifecth dry they will not plough at all being so ha id and tenacious and if ploughed h hen wet the land is ruined by poach ing and plastering this circumstance renders the cultivation of clayey soils so extremely difficult all corn stubbles which are without clover or other seeds as soon after har vest s the othej works of the farm can permit should be ploughed as speedily as possible and thus put into a state for re ceiving benefit from the winter frosts ia- notice to pensioners a i k ll pensioners whore residence is at near the

nourishment to their roots but above all by counteracting the injurious consequences of either too ifret or too dry a season this is a most important consideration for if the sea son be wet there is a
