Deep and Shallow Nowlng.
Tow subjects attract moro nttoiitlon
and glvo rise to moro tlhctisilon tun!
want of agreement tliuti tlmt of llio
depth of plowing. iMmiy do not con
sider tho very Important frt that deep
orfihallow plowing depends upon the
nnluro of tho soil. Tho truth li, there
aro many wills In which If one plow
deep ho may find grout prollt In doing
oj but, on tho other hand, there are
thousands and thousands or acres or
land whoro It Is sheor madness to plow
deep. Oh Hat clay land, where water
cannot drain rapidly away, and where
tho lack of, dralnngo Is the hano of tho
cultivator, It Is found by experience
that a shallow but rich surface soil Is
much better than a deeply stirred one.
And tho reason is obvious. If water
ho tin Injury, ami u cannoi gei mm un
noli by reason of the hardness of the
nubsoll, tho rain will push over tho sur
fuco to tho open ditches, whl.'h always
have to bo mado In a Hat country. IT
wo loosen such soil deeply w only
harbor moro of our liquid onemy, and
this counterbalance what otherwNo
might bo it good thing in u deep Mill
Uesidos those, there are other consid
erations. If the surface snil be poor,
nnd wo turn Mils down Into u still
poorer subsoil, wo bury what llltlu good
tlioro might have been in the surface
soil far below tho reach of the routs
A little learning Is undoubtedly a
duiiL'orous tlilnir In farming. There Is
no department of Indict ry wherein
circumstances nikrnt-ios more than In
this. While deep plowing Is an excel
lent thing when rlreuinitnni'e Milt,
(hero are Innunieralilo eases when It Is
w!h logo tho oilier way.
I'olalo Culture.
Notwithstanding that fur llfty years
people have been experimenting on
potato culture, tho old way Is still fol
lowed, us u general thing, anil there
lias beou but llttlo advance In the ways
which wero most approved In the days
of our grandfathers. Now and then
hiiinii oiin will arise who euulemls fur
whole potatoes, or for cut pieces; or It
may bo for deep planting or lor shallow
planting; or fur large potatoes or fur
small potatoes; for fermented manure
or long strawy litter; or fur placing the
feed a foot np.irt or three or tour reel
apart, llko corn In hills; but It Is rare
that any one continues In any of tho
courses. Wo have sometimes read of
people who have nude Urge prnlll by
working some of these plan-; but they
uro not tempted to purtio these prac
tices, and they usually drop back Into
tho good old way.
It Is not for us to dispute the airur.i
ey of tho fuels In them various Impro
ved ways, .is they have been given to
us. Indeed, we believe they have
generally been as represented; but yet
wo believe that us a rule there Is no
better way to grow a potato than hi
take a piece of worn out sod laud, and.
after putlluir a good dreeing of half
rotted stable manure, plow It down
over tho potato sets three or four Inch
es deep, tho sets ISor'Jn Inches apart,
tho rows about JIO Inches. As fur the
hlzo of the sets, wu hardly think this
of so much eoiisequonco as the condi
tion of the soil. It Is the Illness In this
respect which does the business, fur
after tho plant has once left tho p.iienl
root it depends wholly on the Mill for
lis food. Perhaps one large piece Is
better than n wliolo small potato, as
there will bo a less number of sprouts;
but oven this Is lint meiiMiro theoretic
al, as many perons protest they have
had Just as good crops from small po
tatoes us fruiii cut pieces of larger ones,
In spite of the supposed objection to
the sprouts. (hrinttntoicn Tflcyniph,
Working ltorf without Shoes.
.Many of our exchanges, tioth in tins
country and Knglaii!, luivo wasted a
great amount of spuco In dl-cusslng
tho feasibility of working horses with
out shoof. If those engaged In this
discussion hud been practical men,
they would have known that It is a
liolut which cannot be settled lu news
papers, or any where else. Some horses
can work without shoes, while others
cannot. A hor-e that can go barefooted
with impunity on the soft dirt roads of
our tl.it Western prairies, when taken
to thu lllnty hills of Now Ihigland will
need .shoes. .Mu-tt horei can do the
work of the farm In summer without
shoes; but when the hard, fro-.en, Icy
roads of winter have to bo encountered,
no horse can keep his footing and
' draw a lout without them. Hordes
with Hat feet, will shelly, brittle
hnrd. flinty hoof, on it conciiw
can well go most of tho time without
shoes, unless ho bo put to heavy
drawing on slippery roads. It Is u
question that must ho decided upon
r,.r i.dMi Imrsn for himself; and tho
. ri.n iMw.r Mm allium of the
fimi. tbA uses to which the horse Is
put, and the roads ho travels upon, nit
enter into tho problem. If his hoofs
don't break away so as to make his feet
sore, and If ho can keep his footing so
as to do his work easily, ho does not re
quiro to bo shod. If tho reverse Is
true, ho must be shod. And that Is all

And, llr.st: I once bought eight bush
els of wild outs, and soweil them, as I
would common feed oats, for meadow,
or rather Tor hay. Now murk the re
sults. Tim ilr.st ea.-on mowing them
before Ihey bloomed I got three tons
to tho acre of tine hay. The next
season I got one ton per acre, and the
third year, in spring, there were no
wild out-. Then I killed them oil' at
two mowings, not letting them go to
coed; and all the seed having come tip
and been mowed oil", they died.
Mowing, then, in this cae, killed
tho wild outs. What Is tho conclusion?
Hero It Is: You mow wild oats two or
three years, never letting them go to
seed, and you kill them. That's ono
process. Now Tor another.
How .some kind of grain that will
ripen brfore tho wild oats; you can
thus prevent their going to seed and
this Is the main point lu de.stioyiug
noxious n-eds of any kind. If you
never let weed go to .seed, they will
no' be troublesome. Another method
is a very good one pasturing. All
kinds of stock eat wild outs, and are
fond of them.
Now, If you let wild outs grow lu
your fence corners and along your
turning lows, and go to seed, you will
never get rid of them. Keep them
down; pull them up, anil cut them oil,
all over your place. Hut, if you let
them grow In your oats, wheut, and
other grains, you aro but sowing them
broadcast over your farms, if you sow
clean t.rnln, and are careful, sensible,
energetic, and keen, good bye to weeds
and wild oats. If you aro sluggish,
stupid, lazy, and dull, ou Invito wild
outs and oncourago every filthy weed.
Energy makes tho man, and tho far
mer, too. So much for wild outs.
Now for soircl. This Is an ovll In tho
shape of a weed; a dttestablo thing,
and hard to kill. It niurs tho soil,
chokes out tho grain, and takes our
meadows. This Is a far moro trouble
some visitor than wild oats or fern.
Wild outs and fern do not kill tho soil,
sorrel does. Where sorrel has formed
a solid mat or turf, nothing else will
Lrow Sheen, if starved to It, will
partially, eat it. (louts eat It, though
they are not passionately rouii or it.
They eat it In hay, and, in tills form,
It Is' worth more as feed than any other
to the husbandman. Yet It is poor
pasture, poor hay, and an Infernal post!
Tho only way 1 have succeeded in de
stroying Hirrol Is by shallow plowing,
111111 often, through tho dry months.
Uv this means you kill the roots, ami
thus prevent the top from producing
seed a double imIii. Some Use n (so
called) ferii-killer, runnlne; over tho
laud every two weeks, cuttlue; oil rem,
sorrel, and all other woods, ami thus
bli'odliii: them to death, fur, tho leaves
lolnu tho Iiiiirs, If we keep them cut
oats, fern, and other Injurious weeds,
Is to break up tho land early In spring,
harrow, and roll it, so as to mako It as
level as possible, and mow off tho veg
etation with a two-horso mower, every
'two or three weeks, till near frost.
You will thus keep down all noxious
vegotatlon, and orovont their going to
seed. That's It.
But, you will say, all this takes work
and time. True, but what aro wo to
do? Lot nil theso abominablo pests
grow? Surely not. Then wo must
labor, tind kill thorn out. or they will
kill us out ruin our fields, and, conse
quently, us.
I wish others would glvo us, In tho
Fahmkr, their experience In destroy
ing theso Intolerable nuisances.
Tho big fern Is comparatively easy
to kill. Why? Uecause It makes a
mat of roots near tho surfico. Plow
and harrow theso up to dry In the sun,
and you will soon got rid of It. Tho
llttlo fern is dlllluult to kill; its roots
run deep; but It Is generally thin, and
docs not Injure tho grain materially.
Now, I huvo said, plainly, my way.
Lot us hear from others. Wecil-kllllng

Counting tho Cost.
In common with most other elus-es,
ranners feel tho prosuro or tho times,
and aro ntrtiRRlliiB under tholr bur
tlens. Tho llattory or iiRrlctilturul and
political orators will fill to convince
them that they, more than any other
men. aro crowing rich. Tho constant
confronting and pressure of debts, tho
resulting forebodings' and anxloly, the
low prices and heavy taxes, uro u con
stant protest against the truth of such
statements.
Tho lessons which farmers tiro now
receiving In regard to Incurring largo
debts, will not need to bo repeated to
this generation, at least lo thoso who
aro made wiser by experience. Is It a
question of expediency merely, or of
right and Justice to all concerned, foru
fanner with but llttlo Capital to run
Into debt for acres of rock-ribbed hills
and stinted valleys? If u fanner wants
to bo "shook over hell" all his days,
lie can do so, but will the act increase
his reputation for wisdom among the
wiso? Tho folly of such ucourso should
bo patent to all observers at tho pres
ent time, l'aruiers and others who
have paid for their present farms and
homes, need not hesitate, at fair prices,
to gradually add to their acres or build
ings us tliey need, incurring debts
therefor which they may bo able to
meet. Such gradual additions will not
distress the family, and often prove u
stimulant to industry and economy,
anil thus tend to wealth, Hut to Incur
such heavy risks as many have done,
is most egregious folly. A shrowd and
niiccessful business man, who owns
hundreds of acres of land, to'd mo ho
never bought or run Into debt for any
laud that ho cott tl not pay for at any
time, If necessary. With so many ex
amples of falluro on account of excess
ive dobts, Is It not tho dlctato of wis
dom to heed tho suggestion of ilr.st
couutiiiR tho cost before laying the
shoulder to tho terrible burden of debt?

We Want Education.
Tho members of tho order of Patrons
of Husbandry have much to learn and
much to discuss, and it will taken long
time to bring farmers to a true know
ledge of tho dltl'orent subjects that af
fect their interest in common with thu
Interests of every other Industry. We
want to know how better to work our
soils, fertilize and preserve our lands,
and prepare tho products of our farms
for market. We want to know how
better to adorn our houses, plant gar
dens anil lawns, make orchards and
vineyards, and render our homes at
tractive and happy. e want to know
how better to Judge men and to learn
their motives, when designing dema-
where all wealth comes from who cre-
ates It, and who hoards It. Wo want
to know how monopolies originate
whoro they are created, and for whoso
benefit they nra run. We want better
to know tho cheapest way In which
govcrnmontH can bo supported, whenco
comos tho rovonue, nnd who arc tho
beneflciarlos of tho national treasury.
All this, and much more, may bo learn
ed by association and discussion in our
granges, if wo have the patience and
nnorcv to nttend the meetings regu
larly, and each ono do his or hor part

A Cardinal Principle.
Tho Muster or the Maryland State
Orange, In his address at tho sixth an
nual mooting, said:
"Ono or tho cardlnnl principles or
our order is co-operation a working
together as individuals for tho good or
the masses. Now, to nccomplisli this,
tho first stop 1? to got tho Individuals
together, and Just hero Is our weakest
point. Many think, If they pay tholr
dues regularly, and support tho agency
occasionally, they aro doing tholr full
duly as members of the ordor. Far
from It. I can assuro all such that tho
very hfo or the organization depends,
1st, upon tho regular attendance of tho
membership upon the mootlnga or tho
subordlnato grange; 2d, upon our hon
est support or tho grango agency.
Theso aro facts which I desire to bring
homo to tho heart or every true patron
in our state. It will not do to say our
meetings are dull nnd uninteresting,
ror It Is clearly the duty or every ono
to bo on liu..tl and glvo his or hor mito
to overcome this vory dullness. Wo

ber. Wo aro each and every ono links
lu the grant chain, and, to be ready for
use, we must bo on hand and in the
shop whore the chain Is being welded.
As masters ol subordinate granges, let
mo urge you io Increased vigilance on
this point."
