THE AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE. 



was once made in Scotland, and it was found that 27 head 

 of cattle were as well kept upon the same quantity of 

 ground in one method, as 18 in the other. Added to this, 

 there is an immense saving in the making of manure, 

 which process, the most important one of any, may be 

 going on during the whole summer, instead of having what 

 dung falls, scattered abroad, and dried up in the heat of 

 the sun. — Rawstorne's Remarks on Lancashire Farming. 



Sub-soil Ploughing. — The first object sought to be 

 obtained by the operation was deepening the soil; the 

 xecond^ facilitating the descent of surface-water where the 

 sub-soil was retentive; and the third, to secure the bene- 

 ficial influence of the atmosphere and manure to a greater 

 ■depth. The first object is described as mechanical, 

 deepening the soil so as to remove obstructions for the 

 more easy and perfect performance of all the operations 

 necessary to correct cultivation ; and the essay points out 

 the advantages of this mode of deepening the soil, over 

 the frequent practice of carrying on earth. " To cover an 

 imperial acre one inch deep with soil, would require a 

 fraction more than 134 cubic yards. It is well known 

 *hat a cubic yard is a good cart load, and if brought from 

 any distance at all, with filling, spreading, &c, would not 

 cost less than 1$. per yard ; this would amount to Gl. 

 lis. bid. , an expense sufficient to sub-soil plough the land, 

 and leave more than 5/. to be applied in manure ; this, at 

 the present price of guano and bone, would purchase 7 cwt. 

 of the former, or 40 bushels of the latter, being double 

 the quantities of these manures usually applied to an acre, 

 and undoubtedly sufficient to manure several inches of sub- 

 ■oil." The second object may also be said to be mecha- 

 nical ; when the sub-soil is retentive, or when "a pan 

 or cruit" exists, this does much good, by facilitating 

 the descent of water, and by equalising the supply of 

 moisture during drought, not only by capillary attraction, 

 but by allowing the roots of plants to penetrate freely 

 below the parched surface into a cooler and damper 

 medium. But besides its mechanical operation, it is 

 intimately connected with, and lays the foundation of the 

 third, and most important change, that of allowing the 

 influence of the sun and air to penetrate, and, by the 

 filtration of rain, to make that one of the most beneficial, 

 which had previously been one of the most detrimental of 

 atmospheric agencies ; thus producing such remarkable 

 changes as are often seen by the draining and deep culti- 

 Tating of land, without any visible foreign chemical agent 

 or re-agent being introduced. Then follows a detail of a 

 number of experiments, tending to show the advantages of 

 the operation on various soils — on thin soils with open 

 shelfy killas sub- soil — on blue and other clay sub-soils — 

 on granite soils when the bottom is retentive — and in 

 cases in which the actual sub-soil plough had been used, 

 and the soil and sub-soil had been deep ploughed up by 

 the common plough and mixed together. In conclusion, 

 it is stated, u that if the experiments are not held to prove 

 the advantage of sub-soil ploughing, they prove that it is 

 not injurious. In no case where the writer has seen 

 either deep working with the common plough, or with the 

 sub-soil plough, has it had the least injurious effect ; but, 

 on the contrary, the crops have turned out beyond his 

 expectation. And if, as will be conceded, a deep soil is 

 better than one of a contrary character, and if it be of 

 importance permanently to improve land, this appears to 

 be one of the most feasible and necessary preliminary 

 steps. Not that all land requires such a process; nor 

 should a practice be condemned from having been tried 

 without producing any good effect where it was absolutely 

 not needed. In regard to the expense of the operation, 

 it may be slightly different in different soils and situations ; 

 but where four ordinary horses draw the sub-soil plough, 

 with two going before with the common plough, three- 

 fourths of an acre may be a fair day's work. At this rate 

 the cost would be per acre — 



One pair of horses and a man l£ day, at 8$. . . ±60 10 8

as the additional expense for sub-soiling an acre." — Report 

 of Mr. Peter's Prize Essay ^ read before the Cornwall 

 Agricultural Association^ December , 1843. 



Manures are to farming what blood is to the animal 

 frame; divested of their aid vegetation languishes, as the 

 abstraction of the other leads to dissolution. Of all 

 manures that are in use, commend your friends, I pray 

 you, to that from the farm-yard. Much goes to waste 

 about every steading, that, being otherwise carefully used, 

 with a trifling amount of labour might be made available 

 in superseding the use of artificial or foreign manures. 

 Guano, I have found, under certain circumstances, to be 

 excellent, when of pure quality — an article rarely to be 

 found— producing fine Potatoes and good Oats. Clover 

 treated with it has also done well, and seems to be deeper 

 coloured than that from farm-yard manure ; yet, tested 

 on poor ground (recently reclaimed bog-land) compared 

 with the latter, I have found it to fail. I have no doubt 

 it hag more of a speedy stimulative than a lasting nutri- 

 tive quality, and, therefore, ought always to be used in 

 conjunction with farm-yard manure, which it cannot, and 

 should not be allowed to supersede. It perhaps ought 

 not to be used at all, excepting under peculiar circum- 

 stances, or in the least accessible situations ; certainly 

 not after a sufficiency of green crops can be raised to 

 enable the farmer, by the aid of house- feeding, to make 

 plenty of dung for his land.— Mr. Mc Arthur, in the Ayr- 

 shire Agriculturist. 



Notices to Correspondents. 



Ba ri,bs\— A. S.—A bushel of good Barley weighs from 52 to 55lbs. 



Blossom.— W. S.— We know of no application of manure which 

 will hinder a plant from blossoming. Mr. Knight, we believe, 

 ultimately obtained a variety of Potato without blossoms, by 

 repeatedly growing the tubers of plants from which the bios- 

 soms had been plucked immediately upon their appearance. 



Chemistry op agriculture. — Tropicus. — Read Johnston's 

 " Agricultural Chemistry and Geology." The advantage of 

 liming land does not depend upon its introducing carbon into 

 plants, except in so far as it is a solvent, so to speak, of humic 

 acid, which contains much carbon. Plants require mineral 

 as well as organic substances in their food, and among these 

 is lime. See Dr. Smith's article in another page. The prin- 

 ciples of Agricultural Chemistry act independently of climate. 



Churns.— ToA^.— The small metallic churn is useful for families. 



Cloacink.— W. C. A.— You are right in mixing it with an equal 

 bulk of vegetable mould; throw over every cubic yard of the 

 mixture about 10 lbs. of sulphuric acid, diluted with such a 

 quantity of water or other matter, as will enable you to mix it 

 thoroughly. Sulphate of soda is useful as a manure, where 

 there is a deficiency of it in the soil, but as it will not decompose 

 the carbonate of ammonia, it would not fix ammonia in cloacine. 

 Where it is needed, it may be spread broadcast on Grass or 

 young Wheat, now, at the rate of 1 to2cwts. per acre; unless, 

 however, you have a special reason for selecting it, you would 

 probably obtain a greater crop by the application of guano. 



Diskasbs of Cows.— FT., Sheffield.— If you will favour us with 

 your name and address, we will forward to you information on 



the subject. 



Fikld-beet.— H. C. S.— The Globe Mangold Wurzel is prefer- 

 able to the other on shallow soils. You had better try it in- 

 stead of Turnips, after Swedes. The seed can be easily sown 

 by one of the Suffolk drills, with or without a mixture of sand. 

 Potter's guano will probably suit you. 



Food for Cows.— A Tivyside Coiv- Fancier will be much obliged 

 to a " Cow-fancier" for information as to the kind of Carrot he 

 uses, and whether he feeds his cows on hay or straw besides. 



Guano. — Cor.— Your specimen is good guano. 



Gypsum.— $, U.S.— Mix it with farm-yard manure; spread, and 

 plough or dig ir in. Salt and soot may be more beneficially 

 applied along the tops of the drills, just as the Potatoes are 

 coming through, than in the drills along with the sets. 



Liquid Manurk.— J. X.— You may have a roughly-made filter, 

 of considerable size, filled with fragments of gypsum, through 

 which the runnings of the stable must pass before reaching the 

 tank, and renew the gypsum now and then ; this is Professor 

 Liebig's suggestion. The surest, and when near the factory, 

 the cheapest plan is to pour in it, say every week, as much 

 sulphuric acid as will fix the ammonia in the quantity added 



each week. Subscriber. — Water will not dissolve all the 



guano -a portion, and a very valuable one, is left behind. It is 

 a better plan to apply it as recommended by Mr. Booth. (See 

 Home Correspondence.) 



Manure.— J. Ridge.— If you have enough good manure to put 

 on your land at the rate of 30 cubic yards per acre, you do not 

 require anything else. If you have not got sufficient for this, 

 you had better mix with it 4 cwt. of guano for each of the 

 acres for which, at the above rate, you have no manure, and 

 then divide the compost equally over the land. 



Moss.— I?. K. 31. S.—A sufficient application of lately-slaked 

 lime is said to act beneficially, but there is no certain remedy 

 except breaking up the pasture, cropping it for a year or two, 

 and laying it down again. 



Soot.— Anon.— The red" soot you allude to probably differs from 

 the black in being ferruginous ; but we never saw it. In what 

 chimneys, and in what parts of them, does it accumulate? 



Transplanting.— A Render informs* 4 W. S." that Beet can be 

 transplanted with perfect success, if watered with a very dilute 

 solution of nitrate of soda immediately after sowing. 



Uratb.— O. S. — Peat charcoal would fix the ammonia of the 

 stable-runnings, and would be a valuable manure. 



Windmills. — A.H.— Steam will, in the end, prove a more eco- 

 nomical power than wind. Windmills were at one time 

 erected in considerable numbers, to work threshing-machines, 

 in the Lothians; but steam-engines are now being substituted 

 for them. The uncertainty to which you allude renders wind- 

 mills unfit for Agricultural purposes. We should be glad to 

 know your experience and analyses connected with $\r. Camp- 

 bell's processes.

 We have to-day a very short supply, the time of y*ar considered, and the 

 trade for everything is improved. The town is very clear of meat ; the supply 

 to the dead markets has been very limited of late, consequently everything 

 meets a very ready sale. The best Scots, &c-, readily make 4s, and the 

 best Short-horns from Norfolk 3s 8d per 8 lbs ; those from Lincolnshire make 

 about 2d per 8 lbs less- The trade tor Mutton is still brisker then the Bef f, at 

 an advance of fully 2d per 8 lbs. The shorn Sheep are getting more in request 

 every week as the weather gets warmer. Lamb, abo, is in greater demand. 

 and trade for it is brisk, at prices above quoted. Veal maintains it> price, but 

 not very active. Pork is rather heavy, but neat Porkers maintain their price.

 a shade lower price. The Colonial Wools are selling briskly, at price* fuJJy

MARK LANE, Friday, April 19.— We have no fresh arrivals 

 of English Wheat offering on Market this raoruing, but its value 

 may be considered quite equal to our quotations of Monday, in 

 free Foreign there has been an increased business doing, both on 

 Wednesday and to-day, particularly in low qualities to country 

 buyers, and late prices are fully supported— the fact of so small a 

 quantity entered at the 16*. duty having given confidence both to 

 buyers and sellers.— Barley is a very dull sale, and barely supports 

 its late value ; several cargoes are being landed, the want of 

 demand rendering them almost unsaleable.— In Beans and Peas 

 we observe no alteration.— The supply of Oats is good, and wcy 

 meet a fair sale, at quite as good terms.
