LAFAYETTE COURIER. FRIDAY, NOV. 14th, 1873 Winter Irrigation. .■ - ~ ff 1 . • • Under tho signature of W. T. a cor respondent of the RitraL Press a&ys: It may be considered as an axiom • amonglhoso who devoto their atten tion to the true principles on which a rational system of agriculture should be comluctrd, that one of the most important objects in good farming is the proper condition of the «oil in e winter. In this State, farmers know, to their bitter experience, that in sea sons when there is little rain, a defi cient crop is the natural result. In several others, and in other countries, too much rain, except due provision ” m made to secure the land against be coming oversoakod with water, is found to be equally injurious. It be comes, therefore, the duty of those who would instruct the less informed in agricultural science, to explain so that practical men may be able to appreciate’their lessons; why it hap pens that a large supply of winter rain sometimes proves of little serv ice. Without pretending to be so ’ much of a guide that I would like to be contradicted, I do claim to have some practical and scientific knowl edge of agricultural matters, and therefore expect tha^your readers will have patience with me in attempting to reason with them, whether in re gard to the present or other agricul tural subjects, in the columns of pa pers, as they may rest assured that I «ha.ll always be influenced by the ■ prime motive of an endeavor to pro mote their interests. Water, although indispensable in the growth of plants, is by no means their only requisite. Such was the idle dream of the old Dutch chemist, / Von Helinont, when after planting a slip of willow in a box of earth, and supplying if with distilled water, he found th|t though the earth in the box hadF’only decreased a few ounces, the sprig had become a tree. We must excuse him; for vegetable phy siology was in .his time but poorly understood, and the sources from which plants derive their food only a matter of/conjecture. Yet I often think of his idea when I read the high-toned notices of the vast ad vantages to be derived from irriga- tiou, as if irrigation alpne were all that is necessary to render our dry soils perpetually productive. Still if is true, and indisputably true, that without a sufficient supply of mois ture in the soil, the best of cultiva- tjem most prove abortive; although it is equally true that too much water may be even worse than too little. Henoe in arguing for or against wa ter irrigation, the particular condition of the soil to be so treated has to be taken into account; and more especi ally in the growth of wheat, which is generally sown before winter pi oper oommences. x .In almost all countries where ag riculture is prudently conducted, the greatest care requires to be taken to prevent the young wheat from suffer ing from the excess of winter rain; In England, for instance, wheat is sown on ridges aftdut 20 or 25 feet in width, having water furrows between them to drain off the surplus water of • winter rains; and in the colder lands near Antwerp, in Belgium, the ridges are frequently not more than half that width, and the water furrows twice as deep. Such practice is in either case in accordance with scienoe; for air is heeded in tho growth of plants as well as water. If water is indispensable for the, purpose of dis- ---------- be prevented., If, on tho other hand, ii 1 ' I * the soil is of a < dry porous nature, and care is taken t ;hnt tho additional wa- ter is so applied as only to put it in such a condition as it would naturally have in those rainy winters which, in sure on such lands an abundant crop, I do not see why j a prudent fanner should not lot a avail himself of securing, by artificial his po pow cial means, if within hjs er, what he finds to be in .favorable seasons so advantageous to him. It is really a question which can not he decidod generally, but must depend on the particular circumstances of each particular case.h - i j ( .............................................. .................................................................

A lady on North Main street saw something on her carpet on Saturday morning, and hunting up an old p&Der, placed it over the object, carefully lifted it, went to ti.e “ back stoop and carefully dropped in the slop-pail a pair of gloves.
