The advocates of deep cultiva tion will read with satisfaction the following remarks made at a recent meeting of the Maidstonc(England) Farmers’ Club : Mr. Barling said lie would con fine his remarks chiefly to the prin ciple of plowing. Plowing was a mechanic! ] action, which was to bringabout another action—a chem ical action. A remark had been made that evening to Which be at j tached much weight. It wa3 pos sible to cultivate well without plow ing—that was, that by moving the soil sufficiently, they could bring about fertility w ithout plowing. It was thus brought about. The or ganic matter within the soil was ca pable of being dissolved and hro’t into a soluble condition, if it be suf ficiently exposed to the oxygen in the air; but if they kept that or ganic matter sealed up by earth— it might be kept as many genera tions as they like—they could get nothing from it. The more they broke the soil and let in the oxygen of the air, the quicker would the organic matter which they or per haps their grandfathers had placed in the soil, become soluble and the food of seeds which had been placed in that soil. The question of steam plowing as against horse plowing seemed to come to this—it did not matter how they plowed, whether by animal force or the force of ma chinery. They might plow by turning over the sod or by break ing it up, but whatever they did, the object was to let in the air In advocatiug deep cultivation, Mr. Barling said that if they broke the soil low down—he did not say turn it over—they altered the condition of thatjsoil; they rendered it warm er upon the whole. If they laid the thermometer on the land, it would bo found that the better and the deeper the soil was broken up the warmer would he the land, and temperature was one of tiio ele ments favorable to the life of plants. Mr Paine has remarked that they could get rid of the water by deep cultivation ; but it would be better distributed, and land that has been thoroughly and deeply worked would, generally speaking, be moist, but not surcharged with water. Moisture was one of the elements upon which vegetable life so greatly depends; an excess, was however, harmful, but a certain quantity was needful. The land being warmer and inoister, must, oa principle, be greatly changed by deep cultivation. fiumio vs. Clover. An intelligent correspondent of the American Farmer says: Denude the earth of its grass herbage and plants, expose it to the frosts of winter, and the burn ing suns of summer, and a most de structive experience will soon teach us the consummate wisdom and be nevolence in a provision whith furnishes food for the philosopher, and which should fill all minds and hearts with gratitude to Him who has dent all things well. Grass, and not guano, then, is the means we should use to improve our worn out lands. Some plants, however, are letter adapted to this than oth ers, such as the clover plant and the pea Just here I would bring in a little guano to'iteip out the cause, as in this case it would pay more than compound interest.— Now, if we wish to improve our lands, this is the way to do it; one of the ways, at least ; Plow up your land, and get it in good con dition, prepare it well and then sow it down to clover, g-iving the land a good strong dose of the fer tilizer broadcast. By this moans voa will secure the first year a strong, rapid grow th of dense clo ver. a stand that will completely hide the land, keep it moist and cool, and therefore improve it the first year more than fifty per cent, perilous. The second year you need only plaster it, and the growth will he greater than the first, so much so that you can cut hay enough to more than pay for your guano. Ami the third year your land will be in good heart and pay for all your trouble, time and ex pense. And so continue from year to year, and I will warrant the sheriff will never mend your coat for you I call this the land-reno vating systom. You enrich your 1 1 mis in order to make good crops, and you make good cropj, and you make them because you act thus wisely. Any man can improve his farm in this way if he will, since it is cheap, economical, permanent. I do not ignore guano altogether. It is good in its place; but, used to excess, while it pays the manure merchant it ruins the farmer. loni and Cotton IMsmting in (lie Mouth. Riuheh- l,b.

Accounts from Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Ar kansas and Texas, all agree in the statement that the acreage of cot ton will he fully up to that of last year, while the acreage of corn, wheat and oats will be increased from fifty to seventy-five per cent. Especially will there ho an increase in corn planting. .The price of corn lias been so high during the past season that Southern people have been compelled to part with all the money they could get from their cotton crop in the purchase of corn and meat. Unless the “Venusian equinox” of June in flicts an extended frost upon the country, titers will be harvested in 1875, the largest corn crop ever raised on earth. Already corn is well up in Texas and Southern Arkansas. Emigration to both these localities has been largo dur ing the last winter and fall, and the emigrants are mainly agricultur ists, and will either work farms of their own or hire to other planters and fanners. Beyond a doubt the South, the Southwest, and in fact, the entire country, will experience better times from this year for ward until the next great panic oc curs, for which untoward event the prudent will always he upon the watch. Manufacturing industries are resuming full operations ; fur naces are going into blast; work is resuming in mines, and the coun try begins to exhibit in every de partment of activity a renewal of its wonted life and vivacity. ll • Itmnixrani*. Col. Dennett, writing to Our “Home Journal” about immigra tion, says: In spite of the predictions of po liticians, bad State governments, high taxes, negro rule, “ku-klux and “bandits” the immigrants are preparing to enter the South. # * The 700,000 square miles of Southern territory yet unculti vated will be in a great measure settled up by industrious farmers from other lands. The vast mineral resources of the South will be turned to valua ble account. Our beautiful South is not doomed to be either African ised, or utterly destroyed by dema gogues, or allowed to go back into a wilderness state. Its future will bs more glorious than its past. It will yet be the garden spot, the glory and pride of this continent. It will be prosper ous and rich in due time, or the writer does not truly understand the “signs of the times.” ———— Job Work soli cited. Tlie olouhite Sttmc. Avery singular and strikin'; •/ir “ eonfii uintion o’ the truth of certain ancient Bible lately been brought to light. The land of Moah, lying east, of the Jordan and Dead Sea, being under Turk ish rule, and the authorities being jealous of all the movements of trav elers, has been a land of mystery, arid few and far between have been explorations of it. In 18G6, Rev. F. A. Klein, a Prussian missiona ry at Jerusalem, treveling in Moah under the protection of an Arab Skcikh, discovered a remarkable stone among the ruins of the an cient city of Dibon. The stone was originally three feet and five inches in bight, and one foot nine inches in width and thicknes-, with an in scription of thirty four lines. It is believed that originally thero were eleven hundred letters on the stone, but only six hundred and sixty-nine have been restored, as it was partially broken in pieces after curiosity concerning it had led tho Arabs to suppose it valua ble, and that money could be ob tained for the separate pieces. The inscription was in the ancient char acters used by tho inhabitants of Moah, and having been deciphered by adepts in this species of lore, it is satisfactorily ascertained that the inscription is older than most of the Old Testament, and was beyond doubt made in the year that Elijah, the prophet, was translated to hea ven. It reads like a chapter in the Bible, and gives strong confirma tion to the facts related in the in spired volume. It lias an ago of at least twenty seven Jiundred years, being the work of a people who dwelt in im mediate contact with the people of Israel during the whole period of their marvelous history. The in scription narrates the achievements of King Mesha, the Moabite mon arch who fought against Jehoran and Jehosaphat, and speaks of the vessels of Jehovah taken from the captured Nebo and dedicated to Chemorb, the national deity of the conqueror. This inscription not only "depicts the wars between Is rael and Moab, so vividly p : cturcd in the Old Testament, lint striking ly illustrates the historical, geo praphical and religious relations of these kingdoms. There tire few occurrences more remarkable, even in this age of surprise, than the manner in which the Moabite stone has been awakened from the sl.een of nearly three thousand years, to unfold the secrets of language and of history, and to confirm, by its emphatic testimony, tho essential accuracy of the Book of Books. —A youngster, while perusing a chapter in Genesis, turning to his mother, inquired if people in those days used to ’do sums upon the ground. It was discovered that he had been reading the passage, “And the sons of men multiplied upon the face of the earth.” Laws IColatnigjo t \ews|m|ier Siihseriittioiis anti Ar rearages. 1.
