As it was approaching the wagon road crossing east of the depot, a fine team of mules, driven by a colored boy, with two other negroes in the wagon .pulled out of a the deep cut and struck the railroad track with the train coming not fifty feet «,way.

The custom of prolonging the Christmas festivities iu to a good part of January mul then consuming several more days in settling down to work should no longer have p in our methods. If the weather should prove misuited to outdoor neld work, there are numberless minor mat calling for attention; the farm im P lemcilts > which have beeu bro "" ht mi der shelter, may receive a thorougn l cverhauling and bo put in firstclass condition for future use; the compost heaps,'always important, may be built up; stables and sheds cleaned out and fresh bedding put in; leaves hauled and placed conveniently for use in the sta bias, aud various other duties which will suggest themselves to each thrifty farmer, and which, if neglected now, stand a poor chance for recognition work of when tho' heavy and regular cropping begins. The fall has been un usually favorable for turning the laud and subsoiling, aud mauy fanners havo taken advantage () f the bright, clear days to thus mako suro 'Sdd.T'kS of a supply of U we subs al, we, to that extent, lessen ^ t^t'bLlud^St^gSS render enough wo may in largo degree SiJSSSlv'” Sh! bSjSS.'SKl'Sf reproduce it here, .tru&fc hensivo that I S^wto othor^i^S'tho original artielM: “Subsoiling is not a turning m the under soil to the surface—this would bo only deep plcyving-but it is simply a loosening of the subsoil and allowing it to fall back without bringing it to the Eur f ace a t nil.

Subsoiling does away with the hard packing of tin; hot tom'of the furrow as left by the ordinary followed plow, and if all plowing erosion were of tho soil by subsoiling the top oil rolling lands, which Professor Sluder estimates at 230 square miles each year, would be reduced to a minimum, if not entirely stopped. “Two hundred aud fifty square miles, ivn'caeh 1(50 000 acres, of good soil rendered Jsar. ' year from tins one cause! At |g0 an acre—a low estimate settled for parts good of farm lands iu the more the country—this means a money loss of $8 000,000 per annum to the farmers of the United States. If subsoiling will stop this ruinous waste, is it not worth trT i ]ig ? ‘ffButtho oxpwiss of subsoiling! Yes, it is an expense, and yet when we con aider in addition to tho saving to future fertility of this enormous acreage now rendered barren by erosion, the vastly increased crops and improved quality of tho product—for these things are a mat ter of actual experience and not a mere theory—the small additional expense of subsoiling need n t enter into our con videratioq. Besides, it is not necessary to subsoil every year, hut only once in two or in some soils once in three years.

Farmers condemn t-lwso latter as .tum¬ blers and vampires, drawing the lii’e blood from legitimate and healthy trade conditions, but just as surely, the man who cuts short his provision crops and plants a big cotton crop in tho hope of high prices, is a speculator, and fascination a dealer in “futures.” There is a in the rosy pictures, which H po holds up to ns, and at this season, when wo start out with renewed vigor for tho leave work of another year, the temptation (hough to the conservative and safe, rather .humdrum path, and venture on nle.ro attractive, though for more un¬ certain ground, is sometimes almost overpowering.

The prospect: is that next fall the price of pork will be good, therefore tho man who lias the necessary conveniences for raising hogs economically and putting" them on the market as early as possible, besides will run small risk of loss, if raising his family supply, he makes ar¬ rangements for a few extra porkers usually to meet the demand which is most pressing and with better prices in September and October, where Peas aud other forage crops can lie raised i.s easily as with us, the difficulties of hog raising are com¬ is paratively few, and the whole process much simplified. Our winter and spring crops of rye, barley and Crimson clover are followed iu quick succession by cats, wheat, peas, grouudpcas, ehufas, arti¬ chokes and sweet potatoes, necessitating but a short period of the more expensive corn feed before they are ready for market, in first claw* condition.
