REASONS WHY ALTERNATE IIUSBANDRY IS ADVAN- TAGEOUS.

Every student of Nature must observe that the alternation of plants in the siiine soil, follows in it kind of natural rotation; during the growth of one species of plant, it not only exhausts the ground of certain iilimentar substances. but it also surcharges the soil with uueriieiits whic cannot be iisairnilsted so as to nourish I hints of the same species until decomposition takes place. The uickness with which this decomposition takes place, depends on t e tena- city or the porosity of the soil. In calcareous siind, decomposition goes on rapidly, such soil freel permitting the access nfiiir, the oxy- gen of which combines with the organic excrements of plants, thus rspid putritilication takes place through the agency of itlkriline con- stituents. But it requires a much longer time to effect decomposiun in clay or heavy loamy soils, unless assisted by frequent ploughing and harrowin , hence the advantages ofsummer following.

Potatoes, lax, Pens and Clover, are plants, the BXLTBIIICDII of which, in nrgilluceous soils, require the longest time for their con- version into humus, con uently these crops cannot be cultivated in the same soil in succession without degeneracy. But it is evi- dent that the use of Alkalies, Caustic Lime, or even small quan- ties of wood ashes which have not been lixivisted, must enable a soil to permit the cultivation of the same plant: in a much shorter time. Irrigation with water contiiiniog ti certain portion of potnsh elfectstlie same purpose, thus inundation may in some instances supersede summer following. the process is best adapted to the reno- ration of lands lying in periiitinent grass.

A thorough knowledge of these rinciplas, points out the advan- tages of alternate husbandry, for it though a soil ms be exhausted of certain elementary constituents b a crop requiring less of that particular ' . twill ‘, nil the cans of the potato crop though they can tot he assimilated to the species from which they are expelled in less time than three or more years, may be adapted to the nutrition of the cereal class of plants in a much shorter time.

If we examine facts which nature every where presents to view, we find that rotation in the succession of plants is a universal law which cannot be infringed with impunity.

If we destroy the natural forest of Oak or Maple, the trees that a tin up spontaneously in their place are of the fir tribe; whereas

ifln Nine Forest he cut down, young oaks and other allied species will mriketheir appearance afterwards. It is also a fact well-known to ex rienced gardeners, that at young apple tree never succeeds well if planted inimediuiely tiller an old one,—a proof. that the exudritions of plants are unifnrinl more or less injurious to plains of it similar species. These teuc rings of nature suggest alternation of plants as it rule in practice, and the experienced orchurdist will sooner pliirit his Apple and Peach trees on the site of the priineviil forest, than on that of an old orchard. In connection with this, it has been observed, that several species of plants thrive best when growing beside one another; and on the contrary, that others riiutu- nll prevent each other's development. It is therefore highly pro- bn le, that the beneficial influence in the former case, depends on a niiiiuiil interchange of nutriment between the species, and the injurious one in the letter, on ii poisonous action of the OXl‘I‘t!lIlt':llltl («fr-zrcli on lllfl other respectively. l'lnnts thus appear to live for cur-li ntlrcr’a siippo.t, and the science of agriculture consists in tra- cing the relations in which they stand to each other; without this knowledge, the practice ofalternate husbandry, is only based on conjecture, hsstird and doubt, and the art in which nine-tenths of the capital of civilised nations is embarked, mut linger behind and grope on in blind uncertainty, without any fixed rank among the exact sciences.

We must always remember, that a constant succession of grain crops exhausts the soil of phosphoric acid and magnesia, and the ground at the time becomes poisoned by excrenients. 'I‘o iestorc phosphoric acid bone dust or guano must be applied. Magnesia may be replaced b frequent applications ofliine. Without precautions of this kind, and will not continue productive, even under the best system of cultivation, and the most regular application of pa-

trescent manure. JAMES IRONS. Sec’y. C. B. A

NOVEMBER THE BEST SEASON FOR PLANTING TRESS.

We have ever wished to encourage and assist such of our popu- lation an exhibit a taste for agriculture, whether manifested in the planting of u-nnmentsl or fruit trees; and again beg to remind this class of rational men, that Niiveriilier is the proper season for plant- ing nll variation of deciduous trees.

'I‘he following brief rules may be found useful to those who have not had much practice, and being easy of adoption and essential to success, claim particular attention.

Deep planting is a very general error. Trees cnn never thrive when their roots are buried beyond the influence of healthy sir;— for cultivated ground contains a great portion of the atmospheric iriedium through which pliints enjoy the pabulum of food. The young rootlets feed more freely and uniformly at a depth of twelve inches below the surface, than at any other medium.

It is, therefore, of the utmost iniportnnce to train out the roots horizontally at that depth, nod to prevent the trip root from striking vertically into a cold subsoi|—an artificial bottom must be made in the pits previous to plrinting. This is successfully eflected by making the pits about eighteen inches deep, placing a floor of bro- ken brick and lime rubbish, mixed with street scrapings, in the bottom of the hole. This preparation should be beaten firmly toge- ther, leaving suflicient depth for planting the tree with all its roots strained out horizontally twelve inches under the surface. 'I‘hia rule applies to young trees. Old plants generally require deeper pits. In filling in the holes, the finest mould should be carefully shaken in ttmon the roots, and the young fibres carefully trained out singly. Be ore pressing the ground firmly round the stem, the tree should be gently pulled up a few inches to straighten any roots which nisy have been bent with incumbent earth. When finished, the ground should be irioderntely watered, to settle the earth to the enrtli to the roots; the tree ought then to be firmly secured to three stakes placed in a triangle, and secured to a strong bondage of soft rope yarn near the top of the hole where the branches diverge. A hay band should be wrapped round the trunk of the tree before bringing the tops of the stakes together;—this will prevent the tree from being barked by the contact of the stakes.

To enrich the ground without injury to the tree, it is better to cover the surface with s motlerate coat of manure, than to dig it into the ground among the roots. The manure may be removed early in the Spring, leaving only the finer particles to be pointed in with it dung fork. The more the round is cultivated about a tree the better it will thrive, provided t e roots are not disturbed. The best manure for all trees, is a compost of decayed leaves. rotten chips of wood from the fuel yard, saturated with soap suds, or mixed with wood ashes. Other maiiures will induce luxuriant growth but not contribute so much to the lvsalth of the tree.

In low damp ground, trees soon become rnnse-grown, which stops the as of the bark and causes disease. Drsini the ground, and was ing the tree with hot lay of wood ashes is t best remedy. 'l'his wash may be applied early in March month, and put on scald- ing but without injury to the biirk; it must elfectuully destro s the nines and kills the larva of insects, and induces clean Itealt y bark on the tree.

The Larva of the " Borer " may be destroyed by placing a quan- tity of snlesched wood ashes round the trunk of the tree at the base earl in autumn.

It is almost as colour- less as water, and possesses so m.-iny advantages over the flux seed oil, that it may ultimately supersede that article. Where fl.ix con- not be grown, poppies ollen can he in poor sandy soil. Linseed oil is becoming dearer, and the demand for paint is increasing. \Vith white lead, poppy oil leaves a beautiful surface, which does not afterward change, by the action of light, into is dirty yellow.

From late English and American Papers,

A large ' of people who were leaving Sydney for California, in the ship Julio- stone. have forfeited their passage money, and gone up to the Biith- urst diggins.

EDUCA’I'ION IN Assv.-itit‘A.—It is by the attention it pays to public education. that tho originiil character of American civilisa- tion is placed in its clearest li ht. Schools were established by law in every township, obliging t e iuliabitiints, under pain of heavy fines. to support them. Schools ofa superior kind, were founded in the same manner as in the more populous districts. The muni- cipal authorities were bound to enforce the sending of children to school by their parents: they were empowered to inflict those fines upon all who refused compliance; and in case of continued resis- tance, society assumed the place of the parent, and deprived the father oflhose natural rights which he used to so bad it purpose. At this very tiriie (iii the year I660). those principles which were scorned or unknown by the nations of Europe, were proclniined in the deserts of the New World, anti were accepted as the future creed of ii great people. 'l'he boldest theories ofthe liumnii reason were put into practice by a community so bumble, that not it states- iiian condescended to attend to it,nnd n legislation williout precedent was produced olflinnd by the iiiiagiiiatioii of the citizens.—De Toc- quwillc.

It represents Ciiliforiiiri, under the form of a beautiful female figure, uftlie Indian tribe feature, point- inn wilhn divining rod to n mass of nuriferous quartz, which is skilfully disposed so as to form the support of the statue. 'l'he vo- luptuous beauty of the figure, the smiling expression of her face, and the richness of her cap, bracelets, and urmlets of nntive gold, are sullicient to awaken the enthusiasm of those who, through ava- rice or through adventurous spirit, leave rill in search of the tempt- ing metal; but here, indeed, we muy say. ‘fall is not gold that glitters "—the too often deluded hopes of the adventurers and tho "deceitfuliiess of riches," are all typified by it bunch of thorns, which the enchanting Culiforiiiiiit holds behind her back in her right hand. and which, in the first burst of admiration, are not visible to the gaze of the dazzled spectator.
