PROTECTION AGAINST DROUGHT In tillage, the best protection against drought that can be conveniently practised to a great extent, is frequently stirring the earth, so as to keep it light and loose. In this way, the earth at the surface is in many small particles, which serve as a non conductor of moisture, and retains it below, where the roots obtain a supply. On the contrary, when the earth is hard and compact, the moisture is readily con ducted off through it, even to a great depth it) a very dry time. As an illustration, if one end of a long bar of iron be put into a tire, the heat will readily pass to the other end ; but if that bar be cut into pieces of one inch or less in length, and laid along in the manner of a bar, the pieces would touch in some places, and in others there would be a small space between them ; and on heat ing one end, the other would not bo effect ed, as the heat would not pass but a small space through the pieces. Again, we will suppose that a fire of in tense heat be made on a block of iron, that is four feet square, and ten feet high, the body of iron would fast become heated downward, even to the bottom. Now, if that iron should be cut or broken into line pie ces, and a body of iron formed of these pie ces, of the same size as the block, and a fire of like degree of heat made thereon, the fire would work down slowly, after penetra ting a small distance through the many particles, and the air intervening between them. We give this as the theory. It is the practice, as in all other things, that we rely on as the foundation of true science. There is in a dry time, a great quantity of moisture in the earth, that is continually rising and passing off in evaporation ; and J if this evaporation can be prevented, in a j great measure by a non-conductor of mois ture at the surface, the plants will suffer comparatively but little. This is abun dantly shown in practice. Those who have not witnessed from ex periments and observations the advantages of fine loose earth on the surface, as a pio tection of plants against the drought, would not be likely to suppose its effects so great as it is, though die theory is plausible and reasonable. Corn and other vegetables that have been well hoed in extremely dry times, have flourished well, while some parts left for experiment, were nearly de stroyed by drought. We noticed the powerful effects of this protection last season. We cultivated a few acres mostly dry land, and the drought was severe indeed. Where the soil was fre quently stirred and kept light and loose on the top, there was a constant moisture a short distance from the top ; but where the earth remained unmoved it dried to a great depth. A narrow strip, running across the piece, was left for turnips, & remained unplough cd. On this the soil became dry below the usual depth of ploughing, and the weeds were almost dead for want of moisture, while at the side, weeds were fresh and vi gorous, and the soil was dry only a few in ches on the surface. j Where some grain was sowed, the earth was dry down six or seven inches ; while by the side of it, where the soil was often stirred, it was dried down only three or four inches. And in this latter case, the moist earth had a good deal of moisture, while the former contained but little. On this subject an intelligent cultivator observed, that he would rather have six men among lands, stirring the earth to keep it loose and fine, in a severe drought, than to have the same number of men engaged in watering the plants. From the American Farmer. RAISING OF CALVES FOR VEAL. There is perhaps no meat which comes to our markets in so indifferent a state as that of Veal. When proper care is taken with calves, there is no variety of flesh ap propriated to the consumption of man, more palitable or gratifying to the human appe tite, and yet notwithstanding this fact, from the indifference manifested by those who prepare them for the butcher, there is no meat, generally speaking, brought to the shambles so utterly destitute of all preten tions to fitness of condition. A calf, if pro perly fed, would command as veal, such price as would be ample remuneration for all trouble and expense for rearing and feeding; but as they are now brought to market, there is no part of the product of the farm which pays so indifferently well. And as there is a remedy at hand, this evil should be corrected. AV ith a view of contributing our mite to wards the reform of this custom, of bringing ‘poor calves to the slaughter, we will detail a method of making fat ones, which we have seen successfully pursued : The calf when first calved should be ta ken from the mother and confined in a dry dark room, with plenty of bedding. The mother should be let to it to suckle it three times a day at regular hoars, and the calf should receive all her milk. When the calf is a week old, in addition to its mother’s milk, it should be given be tween the morning and mid-day and even ing times of suckling, force balls made of raw egg and half a pint of corn meal at each mess ; the balls to be made of conve nient size to be given the calf without diffi culty. The manner of feeding which we have seen pursued is this : the calf’s head is held up and backwards by the feeder with one hand, who opens the calf’s mouth with the other, and thrusts the force ball down towards the root of the tongue, when, by ‘’loping and holding the •’■'■•tth. the calf is compelled to swallow the ball. These two additional feeds will answer until the third week, when another egg and additional half pint of meal must be given, about an hour after the evening suckling. By feeding in this way, in four weeks the calf will be in good condition and ready for the butcher, and will command ns much again as one which receives nothing but mother’s milk. These bails would be the better of being made up with milk which had been scald ed. Should this method of feeding scour, that may be very promptly corrected, by mixing with the balls a teaspoon-full of powdered chalk, and add one-fourth that quantity of powdered alum. A calf which is largo and strong, may be further improved by being fed with sweet skimmed milk. The calf may be taught to drink the milk by forcing its head down into the vessel containing it, and inserting the forefinger into its mouth for a day or two. And the color of the veal may be greatly improved by subjecting the calf to the operation of bleeding, twice during the fattening period, say at intervals of'2 weeks apart. At all times the calf should have in a trough convenient to it, with two apartments a small quantity of good hay, and grass of some kind, at either of which it may pick when it pleases. ENGRAFTING LARGE TREES. From some recent experiments it would appear that there is no difficulty in engraft ing trees of any size on to other stumps, if the two correspond in size. It is only re quisite to cut off both and plane them smooth, so that every part shall come in contact; then placing the tree on the stump, secure it in its new position by braces, and cover the seam or joint with engrafting wax. MISCEL L ANEOUS. AN EXTENSIVE SPECULATOR. Some days ago we noticed the arrest at St. Louis, of a man named Bruce, for sel ling a forged check for SSOO to Messrs, Benoist & Cos. The St. Louis Republican gives a curious history of the gentleman, who turns out lobe a near relative of the Hon. Thomas H. llenton, of the United States Senate. A few years ago says the Republican, Thomas Benton Bruce came to Maysville, I Ivy., about as fine, noble-looking a fellow : as might be met with in a month’s travel, i in possession ofa splendid iron grey char- I ger, richly caparisoned, upon which he fre quently shined most brightly to the admira tion of all beholders, and not only to admi ration, but to effect—for he took captive, by means of these exhibitions, in connexion with a profuse display of other graces, as w’ell as the grace of possessing a fine horse, the heart ofa rich widow in that little city, whom he married in some two or three months after his arrival there. After marriage they took a jaunt to Sara toga and Ballston Springs, in New York, where he dashed around like a true noble man during the watering season, and re turned to his residence, his new and com fortable residence at Maysvillo. On their ! return they stopped at Pittsburg, where the | lady’s father resided, and sojourned there several days. But it came to pass, upon his arrival at home, that he was taken down with the small pox—the worst kind of a way—the infection of which he had received in Pitts burg. But what was worse than the small pox, if not for him, at least for his wife, du ring their absence intelligence had reached Maysville that, through the influence of the uncle of this Mr. Bruce, the Hon. Thomas Hart Benton, of the United States Senate, he had in bygone years been appointed a postmaster in North or South Carolina— and that for making rather free with the contents of the mail bags he had been elec ted for a goodly number of years to the penitentiary of that State—for a period ter minating somewhere in the teens General Jackson set him at liberty ; and at the pe riod now spoken of, he finds himself very comfortably located in Maysville, bating the small-pox. Upon the receipt of this information, his wife instead of informing him thereof, wrote on to the Governor Chambers, at Washing ton City, who was then the Representative in Congress of the Maysville (Ky.) district to procure for her all the information he could respecting the matter, and to com municate the same to her. Before the gen tleman was half well, or in travelling or der, she received an answer from the Gov ernor, confirming the report in all its details. After he had recovered so far as to be able to travel with safety to himself, he was one night very politely escorted to a steamboat at the wharf, and very significantly charged to put out, and never show his face in Maysville again—a charge which he has ever since religiously observed, so far as is known. The next information we have of him is in Scott county, in this State, where he marries another rich widow, whose proper ty he swamps by a mortgage to the tune of fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. The mortgage being foreclosed by the creditor, somebody, not known who, to a certainty, went and poisoned the trees of a fine young orchard of choice fruit which grew upon the mortgaged premises, and set fire to and burned down the buildings thereon. Who did this is not exactly known ; but about the same time the gentleman decamped, and left his innocent seffering wife—not on ly minus her estate, but also to be arrested and undergo an investigation upon the sus picion of the commission of a crime of his own or someone else’s. Such is the biography of our hero, so far as it has been narrated to us. The hiatus, between the time of his decampment from Scott county and his triumphal entrance into our city, remains to be filled up by fu ture developements. Avarice, says Rollin, is a great gulf which would not be filled, if the world were thrown into it Wilkes Sheriff’s Sales. IN JULY. WILKES SHERIFF’S SALE.
