SUN ON MERIDIAN. 
Look out for weeds; kill them 
as soon as they come up. When 
they first appear above ground, a 
slight matter will destroy them. 
A scuffle or Dutch hoe, is a good 
tool with which to kill weeds in 
gardens. Ground intended lo be 
fallowed for wheal, should be 
p'owed.

MICHIGAN SOD AND SUB-SOIL PLOW. 
This is a very valuable plow for certain purposes, 
especially for alluvial, or other deep soil, where it is 
wished to reverse the soil, by burying the surface and 
bringing the sub-soil, more or less to the top. A spe¬ 
cial premium, equal to the highest offered, was awarded 
to this plow at the trial of the New-York State Agri¬ 
cultural Society in June, 1850. The committee, in 
their report, spoke of it as follows :—“ It is particularly 
useful where trench plowing is required; that is, where 
it is wished to bring the subsoil or a portion of it to the 
surface. This is a useful operation where the sub-soil 
abounds with vegetable food in a greater proportion 
than the surface soil; as on alluvial and other very 
deep soils, where the upper stratum has been exhausted 
by cultivation. It is also exceedingly valuable for ordi¬ 
nary stiff adhesive soils, the greatest defect of which is 
their tendency to pack too closely. This defect is in a 
great degree obviated by the manner in which this plow 
performs its work. It cuts its furrow-slice in two parts, 
horizontally, by which operation it makes twice as much 
division of the soil as is effected by an ordinary plow 
when going at the same depth and width, and from the 
fact that each part is turned over by itself, it falls light¬ 
ly, and remains in a pulverized state. 5 ’ 
SELECTING A WIFE. 
The first requisites are the moral and religious quali¬ 
ties; and next and quite indispensible, an intellectual 
culture, industry, and knowledge of domestic economy. 
Ignorance of the latter, will always keep the house in 
any other than apple-pie order, although the printers 
might call it pije. A countryman married a city wife, 
whose chief occupation had been at parties and the pia¬ 
no ;—on visiting the cow-yard, she earnestly inquired 
which cow gave the buttermilk. Another one directed 
her domestic to throw out all the milk which had stood 
over night, as it must be very bad, a yellow thick scum 
having risen on its surface. We knew of another who, 
when the plowman came in to ask her advice in the ab¬ 
sence of her husband, as to what he should do when the 
plow was broken;—having heard of such an implement 
as a cart, advised him to use that instead. City girls 
are not always thus ignorant, for some of our acquaint¬ 
ance are the best managers of country establishments 
we ever knew; and on the other hand, many country 
girls, disdaining what is useful, and courting what is 
frivolous, scarcely know a gravy-dish from a griddle, 
or a churn from a cheese-press. The sum of the whole 
matter is, those who are determined to be intelligent 
and useful, will not fail to accomplish their desire; and 
those who are not, will not be sought by a wise young 
man. - 
Hydraulic Ram. —J. J. Conet states in Moore’s New 
Yorker, that he erected a water-ram which sends water 
62 rods, at the rate of 15 gallons per hour, to his house 
and barns, elevating it 100 feet.
