Extreme sDiteinenls nitty lie

elear and rigid,lnti there is mtn-h
taken for granted in all lliat is
radit-al and extremt 1 . That is
sound ttdviee which s;iys,--<'ari
fully‘analyze assertions."
Some of tlie learned members
of the Farmers' Clnli tell tc that
shallow ploughing is the only
rational method. Others again
tell us t hat shallow ploughing in
dieates tho'mental depth of the
man who advocates so stiperlicial
a prof-ess, while those who advo
cate and practice deep culture
are said to get swamped the lirst
year. Now deep and shallow
ploughing are both advisable un
der certain circumstances.. if in
land like the thin sandy surface
soil in the valley of the Ued Uiv
er, in Northern Texas, you plough
but two or three inches your crops
will not prove remunerative.
Hut. if you go deeper you will
iiud a rich, deep, black alluvium,
almost inexhaustible, and your
crops will lie not only abundant,
lint immense. There shallow
ploughing would indeed prove
that tin- farmer did not know the
capabilities of his own soil, and
that deep ploughing was the re
sul* of thought and observation.
How many farmers do really un
derstand the qualities and capa
bilities of the soil they till, or
rather attempt to till !
It is as advisable to go to tite
bottemofagricultureas.it is of
any kind of business, pursuit or
calling, it is reasonable dial if
four inches of soil contain only a
given amount of plant food, and
tliiit litis soil is rapidly drained
of litis plant-food by annual crop
ping,'-it will eventually become
exhauste i unless these elements
lie some way supplied lo tite soil.
Manure and fort ilizers will main
lain tite soil in good condition if
liberally supplied. Now. econo
my advises ns to cast about ns
to sec how we can best and cheap
est keep our soils productive.
Eel ns lirsi see if we have a rich
soil deeper than we have been
ploughing, and if so vve have two
ways by which wo can make and
keep our soils productive. Then
plough four inches and tthsoil
four inches the lirst year and do
not fail to use both manure and
fertilizers at the same time, if
only moderately. The useofllio
.subsoil plough is of great advan
tage m root crops—beets.carrots,
(fee.
I laving succeeded well I he lii-t
year, let us continue to go deeper
ttud turn up more good soil and
put crop-food upon the soil and
mix them intimately. Frequent
ploughing aids the alnorption of
aerial gases and ammonia, and
enables tin- rootlets to obtain air
and moisture; ii enables tin- line
soil to drink in 1 lie dc\ and slight
bower.'. Many have done as!i.i
pid filing by raising the subsoil,
not properly fertilized, and cover
ing by ii tin- fruit fill -oil out of
reach of the roots of hungry
plants. Deep ploughing enable
in dry v, eat bet t Im* deeper mob
t ure to reach the root., of crops,
and in wet weather the 'opera
bundance of rain can -ink o
that the roots of the crop- are not
drowned.
Another extreme view put
forward is that plants cannot In
too generously .supplied with food
because they will only bike ami
assimilate what they require to
perfect themselves and their
fruits. Some of the fertilizer
are caustic and poison to both
vegetable and animal 1 issues.
Florists and horticulturists ma
nure and feed plants profusely,
il is the secret of their 'ticce-s.
Of course when I say food i do
not refer to poisons in n state of
great concentration, but appro
priato food for crops, I conti
dently refer to the immense
storehouse-of plant-food in *ln
deep, rich, alluvia! -oil- of river
liats and prairies, which contain
a thousand times more food than
any crop can appropriate, andyel
l he large*! and mo-t perfect crops
of wheat and corn are annually
produced on these soils, and no
I tody feels the least apprehension'
of over feeding or stimulating or
glutting them. Some of the
W estern States have local alluvi
al soil' of i weiitv to thirty feet in
depth’, which, when raised from
wells, at once abundantly pro
duce crops. They do not over-feed
plants. Drops can he poisoned
Inti cannot lie glutted like nni
nulls. Therefore, 1 say, if you
find plant food in the subsoil,
bring it to light liberate it give
il to plants and needy man, that
food nia\ abound and happiness
prevail. If I am wrong I look

lit England deep ploughing and
high eitll tiro are generally prac
tised, and improved farming im
plements are used. In Belgium
from six to seven inches is the
usual depth ploughed for cereals
ands (o !i inches for root crops,
hut on small plats of ground tin*
spade reaches eleven inches. In
Prussia ten inches for grains and
thirteen inches for roots. The
average depth of culture is ton
.inches, though in some districts
the plough reaches sixteen indies
dee]). In Switzerland it is from
six to eight inches only. In Xwe
den five to seven, and for roots
eight to ton, and some even fif
teen indies. The medium depth
in Italy for cereals is eighteen
incites, while for hemp it is still
deeper. The subsoil plough is
uncommon in Austria, and six to
seven indies for cereal crops and
eight to nine inches for roots is
the practice, hut in some parts of
Hungary even sixteen inches is
practised for roots, in Egypt,
though tin* Kedivo lias 1)0,000
acres in cultivation, with sugar
cane in Epper Egypt, yet the
soil i--- scarcely more than Scratch
ed. In < Hiina, though not an ex
ample of judicious culture is often
me!, yet added to superficial til
lage, concentrated manuring is
generally practised. In the Is
land of .Java they have the richest
agriculture in the world. Deep
ploughing is unnecessary, for the
earth is deep in fatness, irrigation
is lavish, and the never failing,
crops are always bountiful.
Improved American agricul
I lira! implements are nowhere tip
preeiaied in the East. Wevelhey
used in Dliimi no horrifying spec
lade of the starvation of 10,000
000 of people could sadden the
world. Wore these same appli
tlUloes used in Egypt, the poor la
borer instead of ! cents per day
would receive ten limes that a
mount. In all Oriental culture
the earth is not encouraged to
yield up it- treasures of wealth
t o maiik ind. Aml even in t his
country farmers -com afraid to
penetrate the deep rich soil, lest,
perchance wealth of production
may Im poured out in overflow
ing abundance. The soil is far
richer I ban the gold and silver
mines, .and if treated judiciously
will never become exhausted of
il - 1 tvs -u r< . The prodigal and
not tit- frugal man, comes to
want.

V Few Words about Fish Culture.
Fish culture has lately become
a profitable employment and
branch of business in main see
1 ions of the eon 111 ry, and may lie
made such in many others. In
numerous localities where little
or no attention has been given to
the matter there are laeilities
for rendering ti-It both
plea -a n t and |>r a
farmer Im ha-
lake on his farm, or a
ing spring so sifmit'od that
damming up I lie gully or hollow
below il 11 pond can he formed,
may make an acre or two
located the most profitable par™
of his premises by slocking tin
water with fish. This can now la
done wit it little ex pense in I lib
and other States where then- are
Fish Commissioners, as ihey fur
nish the spawn of choice varieties
on application, with rcquisilenli
reel ions and information. by
giving the nuttier altention al
the proper season thousands of
our readers may easily inaugurate
upon I heir I arms a brunch ol' in
dusfry which will not only prove
a source of substantial income,
hut from which much pleasure
may also'be derived by them
selves and their friends, Tin* profit
which have been and are being
realized from eoniparitively small
ponds and streams of trout in va
rious parts of the country, and
notably on Fong Island, demon
strates Hull the business, proper
ly conducted, must, lie lucrative
in favorable sitnations.
l’iseiculflire is a natural branch
of agrienll tire and may Ik pttrstt
ed to advantage by many fanners
who never gave a serious I bought
to the subject or figured upon
the income that might In-derived
from slocking the lakes, ponds nr
rivulets upon their promises with
suitable fish. “The relative fer
tility of wafer and the land is al
together in favor of the water,*'
said N| r. [Johor! I>. Itoosovelf til
New York now I'residcnt of 1 lie
j American Fish Dulliirisls' Asso
Million -in a speech in Congress
! some year> ago ; and lie added:
>‘An acre of land will produce
i corn enough <0 support a human
being, bill tin acre ol water will
support several p'-rsoiis.and could
readily be made, with proper aid,
<0 sustain the lives of many more.
The former requires manuring,
working, plant ing and harvest
ing; tin' latter merely requires
harvest ing, and that when Hie
tisli are sufficient ly abundant is
hard ly :t labor at all. While I lie
yield from the land i- reasonably
large the profit is exceedingly
small. The field must, lie plough
ed and harrowed ami fertilized;
the corn must be planted ; ii inn-1

must be lined ; and a Ila I I lie <-a 1
