must be aware, that unless the land is well tilled, the crops wil 0 very indiflbrent. Deep lougliing brings new earth to the sur- face, and forms a deeper, active soil, altering both its physical and chemical coin sitiou. There are certain substances contains in the soil which have all a natural tendency to sink, such as lime, marl,&e.,&c. The rains also assist in carrving on this process. so that in the course 0 time, many valuable fertilizing substances are sunk below the reach of ordina- ry ploughing, rendering it necessary frcin time totime to increase the depth of the furrow a few inches, in order to bring to the sur- face a portion of these substances. Many deep- rooted plants possess this property to a great extent. And when lupins, buckwheat, &c., are sown to plough doivn, they enrich the soil by bringing to the surface the ingredients thus lost. Many experiments have been made to prove the immense advantage the farmer will derive from deep ploughing and subsoiling. with the most satisliictory results, as is shown by the following table : til ="d 2': ¢: . :13 '52.: Q. ?s- i s O O Qua‘) th 5' :6 0:’ 3'0 ‘JO rs G I9’: .4 8°: 1: I in Z —— 2 s _§_t3C>oo ~r.:,...

'1: This table shows clearly the vast benefits re- sulting fronideep ploughing undsubsoiling, and an the“ berielits are not transient but lasting, it becomes the farmer who is really desirous of casting oil" the old plough of prejudice, and obtaining the full value of his labor, to attend to these iniitters. Many intel- ligent farmers place as uiuch faith in deep ploughing and tiiinute division of the soil, by constantly stirring it, so that the air may be readily admitted to the roots of the plant, as u n heavy inanuring. Jethro Tull, the inven- tor of the drill system of husbandry, was one of these. It is well known that plants derive a consi- derable portion of their food from the gasses contained,in the atmosphere. These gasses could not reach the roots of lants unless the soil was sulliciently open to a mit of their absorption. The doc or and more open the texture of the soil, the less will plants be allccted by the drouth in summer, because they will grow deeper, and while the upper surface is dry the drought does not reset the roots. The plants is consequently enabled to withstand the eflects of an extreme dry season better than those upon land which has mercl been skim- med over in the very slovenly and unsltillful manner frequently observed in the island. The extent to which the roots of some of the culti- vated plants, cereals and others, will extend in search offood when the soil has been suflici- cntly o nod by proper cultivation is very wonder iii. The roots of the turnips have been traced to the distance of four feet —the same with wheat and many other plants. Since the match, I have heard a good deal of wonder expressed that a bi her rise was not iven to Mr. Isaird. whose otighing certainly ooked very well to the eye, ing level. straight. and equal, showin also a hoe crested furrow or festlter rigs. ‘his description of plough- ing which is called “rropesoi‘dol” from the aha of the furrow slice, is not true plough . ing, and were the furrows cleared of the land,‘ the surface would he found to be very irregu-_, lar, in fact the furrow slice does not carry its depth throughout—that exposed tothe eye may be In inches deep, while the crtion covered by the next furrow may not be a on 3;. Wil- k s's iron plou hs can generally sett to cut _a furrow slice c this kind, and are in vogue in Lonarkshire. In East Lothian a plough is made to cut a rectangular furrow; that is a furrow having the sides as well as ends paral- lel, and will turn over a furrow which will measure say 6 inches by 8. in any part, and ' these furrows were cleared on’, the surlace of the ridge would be found smooth and level.‘ Donald Scott made very good looking work] with an imporbd Wilkiss plough, but it ‘had the same fsultas t other.
