an& Kjottscbolb Comparative Price* for Wool. An interesting tabular statement has been prepared by Walter Brown's Son & Cos., show ing the variation in the prices for wool at New York each month for twenty-two years, ending December, 1874. January, 1853, fleece wool varied from 45 to 65; Dec. 1874, the range was 36 to 62; the total] range for the year being 35 to 65. The lowest price for fleece wool was twenty centsin July, 1861. In March, 1863, the outside price reached $1 05. From June, 1864, to Feb. 1875, the outside price for fleece was above $1.05, reaching $1.25 in August 1864. The lowest price for fleece • wool in 1874, 35c., was lower than in any year since 1562, except 1867*and 1873. The highest price reached, 65c ,is also lower than in any year since 1862. In 1874 the market was more than usually uniform. The outside price for fleece varied, in the different months, only iron) 59 to 65 ; the lowest price from 35 to 44. Philosophy of Loose, Deep Soils Re taining Moisture. Compact earth is a better conductor of heat than loose earth, which imprisons about its par ticles a quantity of air that, being anon-con ductor, impedes its rapid transmition. It is for this reason that sandy soils are warmer than clayey soils. While compact earth is a very good conductor of heat, it is a very imperfect absorbent of moisture; two facts which render it both more susceptible to sudden atmospher ic changes than loose earth and less capable of resisting drouths. Capillary attraction bears a certain relation to gravety that cohesion bears to molecular re pulsion. As cohesion, acting at insensible distances, would sodity the earth were it op posed by repulsion, so capillary attraction, acting upon continuous threads, would rob the interior earth and every subterranean root of the last particle of moisture were it not that gravity holds it in powerful check. If, on the other hand, gravity were not modified by ca pillary attraction, all arrable lands near the surface would become parched so soon after rains as to render vegetable growth impossi ble. Capillary attraction, modified as it is by attraction of gravitation, though of the first im portance in vegetable economy, is a feeble force and relinquishes its endeavors upon slight provocation. It seeks soft, porous, thread-like passages, and abhors surfaces sharp and unyielding. That condition and degree of adhesiveness of the soil which most facili tates the action of both gravity and capillary attraction, is that most favorable to the collec tion and retention of moisture. The following rude experiment which oc curred to us a few evenings since, may prove instructive: Three five-inch flower pots were evenly tilled—the first with ordinary garden soil, pressed through a very fine sieve and made as dense as possible by pressure of the hand ; the second with the same soil sprinkled in without pressure; the third with clean, red sand. The three pots were then placed in a pan of water, so that they were nearly half immersed. In thirty-nine mitmtes the surface of the first (compact soil) was wet. The sec ond (loose soil) in sevenieen minutes. The last (sand) was not wet at all; in three hours the moisture had reached but ope incli above tne water level in the pan. We may hence conclude first, that and is not valuable directly as promoting capillary attraction —and Inly indirectly as, mixed with clays or heavy molds, it may be necessary to preserve that porosity indispensable to its free action. Second, that the looser and more fri able a soil is maintained and the deeper it is worked, the greater is the quantity of water passing through it—downward by gravity, up ward by capillary attraction. That, third, a thin covering of sand —say half an inch— should prove one of the best protections against drouths, because water passes through it readily to the ground beneath, and is arrest ed in its return and held upon the surfece of the soil itself—since sand is not a capillary conductor and is a non-conductor of heat- Since in well-worked soils so much moisture is conducted to the surface by capillary attrac tion and at once dissipated by the atmosphere or evaporated by the sun’s rays, it is reasona ble to suppose that it would dry out sooner than the denser earth upon the surface of which less evaporation occurs. We have but to contend that while a loose, deep soil offers slight resistance to the downward passage of rain until it becomes saturated, the compact soil holds it upon the surface where it stands in puddles, or runs off to lower surfaces; so that while evaporation is carried on far more rapidly in loose than in compact soils, its sup ply is proportionately greater. It may also be considered that the dews of the night, while they rest upon the hard sur face to he dissipated at once with the morrow’s warmth, have sunk beneath the porous surface and are there retained long enough, perhaps, to invigorate the fibrous roots near the surface. Other advantages derived from a deeply worked soil—such as the dhemical changes wrought, equalization of temperature, etc., are not a°part of this inquiry, and have, indeed, already been comidered.— Rural New Yorker. mingling the Mlln of Different Cow*. At a recent meeting of the dairymen one of the members gave some interesting details in regard to experiments in mingling the milk and cream of different breeds. He found that the mixed tailk from two breeds will not pro duce as much butter as will the same milk ohurned separately. The explanation is in th e variation in the size of the glohulets. When a large globuled milk and a small globuled milk are churned together, the large globules separ ates first into butter, and the breaking of the gmaller seems to be retarded. When, there fore, a Jersey cow is kept in an Ayrshire or Dutch heard for the purpose of influencing the color of the butter, the larger globules of the Jersey milk are broken first in the churn, and, while the smaller globules are being bro ken, the butter which came first is being over churned, and—theoretically, at least—the quality of the result is impaired, if not the quantity lessened. When a few Ayshire or Dutch cows are kept in a heard of Jerseys and the milk churned together, both theoretically and practically, a large portion of the butter of the small globuled milk is left in the butter milk in a state of globules. A like applica tion may be made to heards of native or grade cows. Unless there is uniformity within cer tain limits in the milk globule there is a loss of product. When uniformiiy is so seldom found in the external shapes of a grade or native herd, it is not probable that any greater uni formity exists between their functions. To produce this, the fruit must not only THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST. have good cultivation, but must he thinned; and we agree wiih Mr. Meehan that “one half the trees which bear fruit every year would he benefited by having one-half the iruit taken ofias soon as it is well set, and the overhearing of a tree will in a lew years destroy it.” We may lay it down as a certain rule, that exces sive production is always at the expense of quantity and quality ; if not in the same season then in succeeding ones, for when branch is contending with branch, leaf, and fruit with fruit, for its supply of light and food, it would indeed be an anomaly in nature if this should not result in permanent injury to the trees as well as to the annual crop.

Preparation. —Laid off rows four feet apart, and bedded out with large one horse turn shov el, and strewed in water furrow 50 bushels compost, made of 125 pounds Phoenix guano, 26 bushels cotton seed and 25 bushels stable manure, and planted corn in same furrow about the 12th of March, covering the whole with a forked plough. First working, plough ed round with scooter, breaking out with shovel; second ploughing with sweep, sowing about one bushel peas. Gave two hoeiDgs each immediately after the plowing. Result. —-84 bushels corn and 1,000 pounds fodder ; also 20 bushels peas. The whole cost of manuring, preparation, planting and gathering was only S3O 50. Corn, fodder and peas, worth $124 00 Cost of all expenses 30 50 Net gain on one acre $ 93 50 I have been careful in noting every dollar of expense in >the cenduct of /the two above experiments made on the farm the past year. The land on which these experiments were made, was planted in corn when f* pnrehased the place, six years ago, and I am confident did not yield five bushels to the acre. I have by deep plowing and rotation of crops, with manure, brought it np to its present fertility. I have planted the land every year,*and the crop of corn of which the above is a true re turn, is the sixth I have taken from it. The idea that the corn crop is an expensive one, is not in accordance with these figures. Ido sincerely hope that the time is not distant when not one bushel of com will come from other States to supply the wants of the Georgia farmers. J. S. L. In Breeding of Swine. At a recent meeting of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, Mr. Cheever gave the experience of Mr. LeviT Ballou, of Cumber land, L 1., in breeding from two Suffolk pigs down through a period of ten years, raising about 1,100 pigs, and crossing close relations in every conceivable manner, brother to sister, fa ther to daughter, mother to son, uncle to neice, cousin to cousin, and so on, and without hav ing, during the whole time, a single deformed or imperfect pig. —Rural Sun.
