'The Philosophy of Rotation. -
-Review your system of rotation of crops
ami see it' it is the 'best, and if not.dtter
piiue to revise it, by substituting a system
Utter calculated to develop the capacities
of ib soil liv the way. can fanners give
jSVUy good--reason lor practicing a rotation of
crops? Why may we not as well raise the
ttarne.crop on a piece, of laud, year after year,
a to raise diffeient crops?
It a field
pro-
.duces a good crop ot corn this
year, why
instead of
not plant it to con
next year.
planting to potatoes, or sowing it to wheat,
oats, or harlev ? Are we answered, "He-
.carise it is too much exhausted to oeai me
second crop of corn?"'' Why, then, will it
bear wheat, oats, or barley? And, further,
when two or three crops of other grains,
plover or grasses, have been taken from the
soili why do fanners frequently, without
applying any manure, return again to the
original crop, and go through a similar ro
tation? Have fanners, generally, seriously
asked themselves these questions, and then
set about the attempt to solve them ?
If there are any rational scientific princi
ples involved in the rotation ol crops, V.
must be the following: 1. One species of
grain must extract from the soil some in
gredients not required in equal proportions
by another, and consequently may be fol
lowed by a good crop of smother species
when one of the same would be light. 2.
Subsequent crops must accumulate, from at
mosphere or subsoil, vegetable or mineral
jnatter, which they leave in the roots or
stubble to nourish a crop when it succeeds
i
aain in rotation
3. Or, the rools.ot dit-
t'erent crops mut have the power to decom
pose chemical cor., pom ids m the sou, ex
tracting from tliem such ingredients a they
need, leaving other ingredients to nourish
succeeding crops of other species. We are
not aware that vegetable physiologists have
determined, yet, whether the loots of plants
have any power of selection of the special
components of the plants, or any power of
decomposing mineral compounds, so that
those are merely hypotheses, not yet proven
Jby 'decisive experiments, but without such
a theory we can hardly see how we can
realize a belter second crop of wheat af'.er
A Fticcessioii of two or three crops of other
grains, than is possible immediately follow
ing the first crop.
Where one of the crops in rotation is
clover we can see how the fertility of t lie
Koil may be improved thereby, enabling it
to go through another rotation of the grains.
Clover draws its sustenance largely from
the atmosphere, and also, by means of long
tap roots, from the subsoil, and as much of
the product is left in the roots and stubble,
it is not believed to exhaust the soil, but
rather to increase its product capacity. We
have hinted at but few of the many unpor-j
!tant subjects which should engage the j
thoughts ot farmers dining the season of j
leisure to prepare them for ti e Mieeis-dulj
discharge of their duties, wl.e.i the season
of action comes, but let them sufl'uv for the
present. American linral Hoinc.
A Mule Producing a Foal.
The grand atl ract icn, says the Agi i. ul
tural Gazette, at the Jardin d'Acelimatiou
.'at tbe present moment is an A tab horse, a
"Morocco mule and their foal. Tins unique
'production was born in Algeria, in the pre
HOiit year, and caused a great commotion
uniong the Arabs, who have a saying that
"when the mule shall produce young, men
afiaH become women and women men," and
it was with great difficulty that the offend
ing mother could be prcberved Irom execu
tion before the birth. Fortunately the au
thorities iuterferred, and the birth of the
foal took place, and was officially recorded,
and attested by medical men and by M.
Laguerriere, and a military veterinary sur
geon, who supplied the facts of the case.
The sire is an Arab of Tunis, 4 years old
and 1.40 meters in height, of remarkable
beauty, but with rather long head and ears
a curious coincidence. The dam is a mule
of Morocco, nine years old and 1.30 meters
iu height, a well-made animal who has done !
good work as a bat mule, as the gall marks j
'hliow. It must be added that she is again j
two months and a half gone with foal by ;
'the same stallion, and the three animals live i
together iu
The you ni'
l he most amicable manner.
, ...... . i
young hyorid is a leinale, and more
.than thrco months old, very vigorous, fat, j
well-formed, and except in color and in the J
form of the croup, resembles the sire rather i
'than the dam; and a noticeable peculiarity
jt that it has a corn on ali four legs, like
the horse, w hei cms the ass and mule rarely
jhave them on the hind legs it supposed
that no such lubrid ha.- exer been seen be
fore, although it has been asserted that the
product of a horse and a mule was once
'known in the Neapolitan cavalry, and M.
X. Sanson, iu summing up the evidence ex
isting on the subject, says that s.icii a lact
ot a mule producing a live haithv' fo.ti is

To Merchants Everywhere!
The Wholesale House of
WITTKOWSKY & RINTELS,
S E ND GREETING:
Too well and favorably known in North and
South Carolina, parts of Tennessee aud Virginia,
and too long established (since 1837) the Proprietors
deem it unnecessary in again coming before the
public and soliciting their patronage to go into a
long flourish as to their immense stock and com
mensurate WILL and ability to sell Goods LOW.
We therefore content ourselves by simply an
nouncing that our business having increased $200,
000 in" one year, and Charlotte having additional
Railroad facilities warrants us in still more increas
ing our stock.
We shall have in store by the 10th of September
a stock of three hundred thousand dollars, (300,000,)
consisting of full lines of every class of goods that
go to make a complete assortment for a Store, which
we offer to the trade at competing prices with any
Jobbing House from New York to New Orleans.
All we ask, come, and we will make good the above
assertion.
Merchants in North Carolina have the additional
1 advantage. that by buying in the State, they have no
; purchase lax to pay.
We also have a retail department, where we keen
