Affricultaral Experiment, Shellsburq, Iowa," Feb: 1870. Several years since I selected a plot of new. jriclK alluvial prairie, TTlth a clepttr rrf nearDw feet of black surface soil, x or six years in succession I grew upon the plot such crops as I could remove almost completely, root a nd branch, . from the ground such , as crops of currant bushes, and grapevines from cuttings, seedling apple trees, follow ed by beans, rutta bagas, &c,'At the end of ix years of careful cleaning everything from the soil, this plot, with the land ad joining (fanned in the ordinary way), was prepared, and in due time planted corn. With the same culture, the contrast in the crop surprised all who had Hot given this vegetable mold-doctrine some study. -Upon the side cropped in the ordinary way, the growth of stalks and of large, well-ripened ears, were above a good average prairie rrop. Upon the experimental plot the blunted looking stalks and ears reminded i one of cobble knolls of Jew -England. s.. ' For the eighth year the cornstalks were removed from the soil J by pulling, and the land, with that adjoining, was sown to bar ley. Again we had the same contrast. On the one side a strong, well ripened growth, with half developed heads, too short to be all cut by the reaper. No chemical analysis wonld detect in this rich, deep, alluvial Boil at the end of the eighth year, any deficiency in the ele ments of plant growth, aside fromlta vega table mold. By practice upon our rich soil it is found that even dry cornstalks or stub ble plowed into the ground year after year, will hold the land measurably- ill good condition. But perhaps no portion of the Ptate will be more benefitted , by . alterna ting with clover than the great prairies, i Why ? Simply because when the great natural supply of humus, furnished by the virgin prairie sod, is exhausted, it must be renewed. J. E. Btjdd, in the German- j town Telegraph. j Stirring Soil Around Trees. Open ing or lightening the soil around the roots of tres, either In the spring or fall, for thm purpose of letting, in warmth, and afford ing a freer medium for the expansion and development of the roots, is of great value in promoting the health and vigor of the tree. All trees, whether fruit or ornamcn-. tal, young or old, indigenous or exotic, are vastly benefitted by this process: In old orchards, the 6oil about the trunks of trees, and to a considerable distance from them, in every direction, should be carefully bro ken, and the upper surface, to the depth of three or four inches, removed in the tpring, every four or five years. The eggs of the curculio and other insects are depoji ited in this stratum, and If not removed or destroyed, will produce insects, the rava-. ges of which the succeeding, year, will be nrmliitivA fif far trrpaifr Iosh than the ex pense of-removing the soil and replacing n wim compose or iuhlu. . ai hopeless undertaking to attempt the. culti vation of good fruit, when no measures are resorted to to obviate the fatal ravages of this detestable and insidious foe, and the remedy now suggested la by no means ex pensive, if we take Into consideration the advantages otherwise resulting to the trees from its application. '. - ' Any good soil, taken from the open fields or culUvated lands, may b&u?edas a sub stitute for compost, and a very small quari-: titv will suffice. Even if no fresh matter is applied, I would recommend the remov al of the surface soil, and -would replace it when convenient.: Chip mazmreor old dung covered with straw, answers well for that purpose. GermaMown TcUgraplu . .... O ' ' ! f Scours in Cows. I once had a valua ble cow that was troubled with scours, and I expected to lose her, till using this reme dy, she was saved: One quart of wheat flour, tied tight in a cloth, put into a ket tle or boiling water, and boiled three hours. After it was taken out" and cooled; it -was Sjunded fine, and given Aer to.eaLdry y twice feeding with this she was cured, and never troubled with it again It is said to have been equally effectual in cases of dysentery with persons.
