By deep ploughing, also, the ground may be more effectually cleared of root weeds, of every description ; in particular, it is the best mode of eradica¬ ting thistles. 4. By deep ploughing, an¬ imal and vegetable manures, which have such a tendency to rise to the surface, are properly covered. This cannot be done by shallow ploughing, in consequence of which, much of the value of such manure is lost. And 5. By deep ploughing, a heavier crop is raised, than can be got from a shallow furrow. An intelligent farmer, indeed, after pointing out that deep ploughing increases the staple of the soil, keeps the roots of the corn from being injured by wetness, and also ena¬ bles the crop longer to resist drought, adds, u I have ever found deep ploughing attended Kith good crops, when ridges* shallow ploughed, in the same field, were but indifferent ; which seems a decisive proof in favour of deep ploughing. 5. Manner of laying the Fur row-Slice. In several districts in England, it is u- j Sua! to lay the furrow-slice quite fiat, and tlii*- h particularly the case where there | are no ridges ; but in Northumberland, and in Scotland, a contrary system i> a- dopted. It is founded on this idea, that as two of the principal objects in plough¬ ing are, to expose as much surface as pas¬ sible to the influence of the atmosphere, and to lay the land, so that the harrows may, in the most efficient manner, raise mould to cover the seed ; these objects are most effectually accomplished by ploughing land of every description, with a furrow-slice about seven inches deep, and which, if about ten inches and a half broad, raises the fur row -slice, with a pro¬ per shoulder, forming the angle 43, the point which ou-J.tto be referred to, when determining between the merits of differ* enc specjmt-ii> ut' ploughing, re; that purpose, the depth of the furrow,ihould, in general, bear a due proportion to its breadth, that is, about two thirds, or as six inches deep is *.o nine broad. In the southern counties of England, they are j partial to the idea, of smothering weed- by tillage. This cannot be effected, by placing the slices on an angle of 45, but b) turning the furrow-slice completely over, for the purpose of buisiog tin- weeds, and converting them to vegetable mould. G. Seasons for executing (he Work. This must greatly depend epon the soil, and the state of the weather. In ve¬ ry dry light lands, it is advisable, that ploughing should be carried on in damp weather, or even in rain, particularly the last ploughing, and the sowing of the seed. On the other hand, soils, o( so retentive a nature, as to hold water much more in quantity than is useful to vegetation, ought to be ploughed in a medium state, neither wet nor dry. When peifecth dry, they will not plough at all, being so ha id and tenacious ; and if ploughed h hen wet, the land is ruined by poach¬ ing, and plastering. This circumstance, renders the cultivation of clayey soils so extremely difficult. All corn stubbles, (which are without clover or other seeds,) as soon after har¬ vest ?s the OtheJ works of the farm can permit, should be ploughed as speedily as possible, and thus put into a state for re¬ ceiving benefit from the winter frosts. \*~£%iA- -~. *£ NOTICE TO PENSIONERS.

Bringing up new mould, ispeculiar- ]y favorable to cldver, turnips, beans, and potatoes; and, indeed, without (hat arl- * vantage, these crops usually diminish in quantity, quality, and value. % Deep ploughingis likewise of great consequence to every species of plant, furnishing not only more means of nourishment to their roots, but, above all, by counteracting the injurious consequences of either too ifret or too dry a season. This is a most important consideration, for, if the sea¬ son be wet, there is a. greater 'depth of soil to*absorb the moisture, so that the plants are not lively to have their roots immersed in water; and in it diy season, it is still mr*ro u«t ful, for Hi the loner part of the cultivated soil, there is thus \ j^N Monday the 2 cth of October in- llant, an EVENING SCHOOL will commence in an upper room in Mr. Miles' dwel'tBg houfe, fot inftrudling youth in Ueadingr, fyHematic Writing, Arithmetic, EngHfh Grammar,Geograph y.
