[From the Mobile Daily Tribune.]
On Deep Plowing.
The first step in a good system of ag
ficulture will be (o place the plantation
in a state to receive improvement, and
this is said lo consist in deep plowing.—
Let us ascertain if this be so. Those
who advocate shallow plowing, say that
all plants receive their nourishment from
the surface or within six inches of it, and
that the earth below that is principally
used as the medium in which the tap
and other deep roots are made to sustain
and hold up the stalk. That the food of
the plant is through the combined
agency of air, water and manure, and
these are most active within that dis
tance. That all excrcmentilious deposits
and vegetable decompositions, with guano
and the sulphates are lighter than clay
and the earths and their tendency is not
to sink but to rise to the surface by the
action of the plow and the hoe; and all
these are obtained by the order and con
dition of the pulverization of that amount
of depth. That where the surface is coin
pleteiy turned under by the plow and
the subsoil made to lay over it, that it
covers futility with n "caput mortiium,”
and places it less acceptable to the air,
and moderate shower, and will beinjuri.
ous to the soil, unless combined with
manuring. That any grain may germi
nate at six inches under the ground, but
will push out its system of roots at about
the same distance beloiy the surface that
seed planted only three inches. This
shows that its food is only to be found
near the surface and within the easy
penetration of the air. This is very
manifest in seeing that the great mass of
fine roots that make the' ear of corn
ami the boll of cotton, are barely under
tlio surface, l’erhnps nine tenths of our
planters practice under this belief, and
many fear injury from the substratum
covering all the vegetable matter of the
surface. Admitting this to be correct,
and it is certainly entitled to much
weight, mny not the objection be remov
ed by the subsoil plow following in the
furrow made by the turn-over plow.—
You get great dep'h of loose earth, and
leave the surface soil where it was.
The advocates of deep plowing say
that the depth of the soil gives the same
advantage from a light shower, and sinks
better the greater rains that might make
too much water immediately in contact
with the roots, and preserves the land
better from washing, and the air has a
larger sourco of moisturo to abstract
from. It may bo uncertain whether the
pulverized soil draws its moisture from
the atmosphere or the atmosphero draws
it from the soil. It is very certain that
the plant gets it, and the source whcnco
lias not been made the subject of inquiry.
Corn is often seen nipped by frost to the
very furrow plowed and no farther, and
this from the moisture at the plant
whether it came up or down to it. It
would require a very hard rain of two
hours and more to make an inch of per
pendicular water, ami this would find
amplo room percolated through and in
termixed with the earth within the space
of ono foot’s depth. With the ordinary
plowing of four inches it would soon
saturate that deptli and have to run oft'
perhaps two-thirds of it with all the mis
chief of removal of vegetable surface, and
perhaps making wasteful marshes or gul
lies in the field. Probably the highest
value of deep plowing is in this particu
lar more than in the greater deptli given
for the roots to search for nourishment.
I think the great class of plants get their
supplies from within six inches of the
surface, and get little if any below that.
If this latter practice be proper and the
reason for it what is above supposed, it
gives to the small plows a preference
overa large four mule plow which seeks
to got its depth at a single furrow. 1
should try with a mould board plow
drawn by ono or two mules, according
to tlio hardness of the ground, and turn
over the soil completely ; a bull tongue,
or five inch shovel following in the same
furrow with one or two mules to drive
down to one foot more depth. If on ex
amination I doubted whether all the sub
soil was pulverized, I would cross it with
a coulter or bull-tongue, m ale narrow
where it comes in contact with the sur
face and somewhat broader below, so as
to disturb it as little as practicable.
If well done you wi 1 have a depth of
loose soil for 12 or 16 inches, and the
top soil where it was. I have soon the
usual subsoil plow which saves some
time, as it requires but one plowing; but
taking into consideration the usual con
dition of our plantations, with the chance
of a grub, stump, and certainly some
strong cotton stalks, I see no reason for
giving them a preference over tlio plows
bow in general use.
I am aware that the gardener will sav
thnt the spade is best for all this, and I
am also aware that the sugar in Dema
rara is cultivated with the spade, making
the hip the fulcrum, but these arc not
o tr planter*’ tools. A Piaster.

Through thus * this Ointment when rubbed on the
skin, is carried to any organ or inward pari. Un
cases of the Kidneys, disorders of tin* Liver,
affections of the heart, iutlammation of the l ungs,
Asthmas, Coughs and Colds, are by its means
effectually cured. Every housewife knows that
salt passes freely through bone or meat of any
thickness. This healing Ointment far more
readily penetrates through any bone or fleshy
part of the living body, curing the most danger
ous inward complaints, that cannot b? reached i
bv other means.
REYSIPELAS, SALT RHEUM AND SCOR
BUTIC HUMOUS.
No remedy lias ever done so much for the cure
of diseases of the skin, whatever form they may
assume, as this Ointment. No cisc of Sait
Rheum, Scurvy, Sore Heads, Scrofula, or Erysi -
pelas, can long withstand its iiitluence. The* in
ventor has travelled over many parts of the globe,
visiting the principal hospitals, dispensing this
Ointment, giving advice iis to its application, and
Ims thus been the means of restoring countless
numbers to health.

GALLERY OF AMERICAN BEAUTY,
scarcely inferior, it is believed, to the famous
collection of British Beauties in the reign of
Charles the First, at the Palace of Hampton
| Court; and the entire volume, illustrated as it is
by the best artists of this country and Europe,
and printed and bound in a style of unsurpassed
richness and elegance, takes rank at the head of
all the literary, historical and artistic souvenirs
ever offered for the approval of the taste of the
people of the United States. The design of
“THE REPUBLICAN COURT” is, to give an
interesting and faithful view of the private and
sqoiul life of this country in the days of Washing
ton. Referring as briefly as possible to political
affairs, it introduces the great characters of that
illustrious age in their jxjrsonal connections -in
the parlor, the ball-room, the theatre—in anec
dote, descriptions, and details of even-day expe
rience. It embraces particular i.arn.fivcsY f Pie
sident Washington’s celebrated tour through the
Eastern States, with all its festivities, parades,
Ac., and of the subsequent tour through the
{■Southern Slates, with the imposing and enthusi
astic receptions in Charleston, Augusta, Ac. The
author says, “ It seenud to me that the mlnme
would be, upon the whole, far more acceptable
if, in its preparation, I confined myself, in even
the most trivial tales of narrative, delineation,
and suggestion, to what was clear!v warranted
by unquestionable authorities. And of such au
thorities, forinnately, 1 have bad an ample collec
tion. Besides those which are printed and acces
sible to every student of American history, 1 have
had in my nos session more than two thousand
unpublished private leDcrs, of which some three
hundred were by Washington, and great numbers
by Mis. Ada - ns, Mrs. Jay, Mrs. ( tithing, Mrs.

THIS preparation is entirely harmless. Itacts
by stimulating the skin of the head, or the
roots of the hair to a natural nr healthy action,
and bv imparting to the hair an OTI essential to
its growth and beauty. By frequently rubbing it
thoroughly upon the roots of the hair, then brush
ing it with a good brush, it will keep the hair in
its natural healthy state, and prevent the accu
mulation of Dandruff. Its rich perfume makes if
a delightful article for the Lady's Toilet.
The ingredients are of the best quality, and the
most efficient to cause a healthy condition of tin

PROSPECTUS
OF TTJ.fi
TEMPERANCE CRUSADER.
[QUONDAM.]
TEMPERANCE BANNER.
ACTUATED by a conscientious desire to fur*
th.*r the cause of Temperance, and experi
encing great disadvantage in being too narrowly
limited in sjjace, by the smallness of our paper,
f>r the publication of Reform Arguments and
I assionate Appeals, we have determined to en
large it to a more convenient and acceptable size.
And being conscious of the fact that there are
existing in the minds of a large portion of the
present readers of the Banner and its former pa
trons, prejudices and difficulties which can never
be removed so long ns it retains the name, we
venture also to make a change in that particular.
It will henceforth be called “THE TEMPER
ANCE CRUSADER.”
Tins old pioneer of the Temperance cause isl
destined vet to chronicle the triumph of its prin
ciples. It has stood the test—passed through
the “ fiery furnace,” and, like the “ Hebrew child
ren,” re-appeared unscorched. It has survived
the naexpaper f<>mint which has caused, and is
still causing many excellent journals and periodi
cals to sink, like “bright exhalations in the eve
ning,” to rise no more, and it has even heralded
the “ death struggles ’ of many contemporaries,
laboring for the same great end with itself. Ii
“ still lives,” and “waxing bolder as it grow*
older,” is now waging an eternal “Crusade"
against the “ Infernal Liquor Traffic,” standing
* e jl 4 Priesf” of the Israelites, who
stood between the people and the plague that
threatened destruction.
We entreat the friends of the Temperance
Cause to give us their influence in extenaing the
usefulness of the paper. We intend presenting
to the public a sheet worthy of all attention an«
a liberal patronage; for while it is strictly a T&i< m
per a nee Journal , wc shall endeavor to keep it*
readers posted on ail the current events through
out the country.
as heretofore, sl, stnctlv in advance.
