It has always been constdmed as the beginner of -all work on the term. Withoet it the farm; fer ara- ble culture, was useless. Being so very important therefore, we are not surprisel to find. the ancients possessed of instru- ments analogous to, the plow of the pres- ent day. Then kiwi, however. were very rude in const uction, being in some cases a simplesha p pointed stick drawn .by some beast of burden. We are sur- prised, though, to learn that •with ,this very rude implement, the ancients used to raise cretps rivalling, if not excelline 0 . ours -with our almost aerfect plow in this the great day of advaricenient. Within the last Ififteen years the plow has undergone •al wouderful series of changes as regards- ilts form and the power applied to work it. . Twenty years ago the sole object of the farmer with the plow was to turn over the ground as quickly ae possible. It is not so now. The old farmer used to be able tb turn over. " not plow," two and. a half acres' per day, -whereas now if we plow en acre itnd a half in a day we call it a fair day's work. You are all, no doubt, more or less acquaintecl with the old fashioned filow. The old nu ber four and Pre - !ilium plowa are it easity forgotten if once seen. Those *ere the days when the farms 'Were skinned ; now is the day When the, penalty is to be. paid. After - having used the old. plow with their wide shallow furrows as long as they). could make it peey, they 'introduced the narrow but deep running plow. The consequence was the farmer breught up from beneath virgin sdil, and hid crops imptoved ; also he could. not pldw so much in sa short a time, and conseq witty he could not raise as much wh at. This caused him to rotate other crops with wheat, and thus, all things working together, the standard of cianadia,n farming reised. In coining right to the point ' we ask why do we spend so much time, labor and money in plosting ? To austter this question we should have to go to the , chemist, and even he could not irievver it I fully, because the ,soil is a very complex : Mixture of elements -which differ in unm- I ber and kinds in -different localities. ' Thestvve might have a soil _cemposecl al - mot entirely of inorganic matter; an- other made up almost entirely of orgauic mattcr, as muck ; another containing a mixture of tlae two ; another of a sandy nature ; and another of the stiffest clay. The first great peactical thing we look at in plowing is the -loosening of the soil and the admission of the air. Air is . . necessary in the soil, for without it seeds will not germinate. This has been prov- ed by some experiments which were made to induce germination of seeds in other gases, whieh failed , • FARM FOR SALE. _ S°tun He -ea of the Sonth half of Lot No. 21, Fifth Concession of the townshiP of Monis, Containing 50 acres,35 cleared; well watered by a spring ereek ; good og house and •frame stable.* • The above farm is only a mile and a half on a good road from the rieing village of Ainleyville, whore a station of.

Now on some farms if deep -plowing is introduced the crops are ruined for some years, just • becauae of this poisonous oxide of iron being in the subsoil in large quantities. Some years age near Brantford the farni- ers introduced the -plow they called the jointer. It was what is called a trench plow. Wfth this plow, to -which three or four horses were attached, they termed up some of the sub -soil. When harvest- . soil and the sub -soil plowato follow after and loosen up the bottom of the furrow. Sub -soiling is a practice which is eminent- ly if performed with caution, . yet -it is one • which, through ignorance, has been much abused. The first thing gained by subsoiling is a deepeningtof the soil, The soil dif- fers, as you all knew; from the subsoil by being of a darker color. This dark color is caused .by the vegetable matter, which the soil always contains in greater quan- tities than -the sub -soil. After sub -soil- ing the roots of all the plants go deeper into the earth—perliaps down as .far as the ground -is loosened. Consequently when the plant dies its roots are left in the earth, part in the soil and part in the sub -soil. ff enough of root is left in the sub -soil and the soil is deepened or as- sumes a dark a color, then the corn - mon plow can be run deeper. We would, therefore, naturally supppse that plants with long tap roots, such as red clover, would be well adapted to deepening the soil. By sub-soilirig the soilis enriched. However, as in the deepening of the soil, the simple act of sub:soiling 'does not increase the richness of the soil. It is the plant thatllotnishes better after 8rib-soiling that does the enriching. Plants are like pumps, but being a little better mode than our common pumps they can pump both up and. down. They pump DOWN from the air, and pump DP • from the soil and sub -soil. If the sub- soil is loosened they send their roots down to greater depths- and ,pump up food to its stem and leaves, and thus. if the plant dies on the ground, the soil is enriched by the matter dratvn from the sub -soil. Plants thrive better atter sub -soiling. This is o wingath the fact that the plant's rooteencounter less opposition after sub - soiling is performed, and' therefore des- cend to greater depths in search of. food. It is well known that land, if kept open by working, is always moist: So it is with -the sub-seil when loosened --it contains and holds more ID oistire than before it was broken up.

Of Course they blamed the plow and its ad- vocates for the injury, when it was their own ignorance of a principle long known and explained. Let us now coesi ler the requirernemts Of common plowing as 'regards style of work.' It seems to be the object of every • plowman to turn a fine looking furrow, which is without erook, jog or any such thing.; In plowing sod. if the _plowman can tutu the furrow -so as not ter crack . or crumble it, he thinks he is second to none 'in the colintry. Now, I do not mean to undervalue a straight furrow,„ although 1 do not care about the plow- • man being over careful to prevent -the furrow nrumblinge The more it crumbles the better—it Makesless work for. the • harrow. - Supposing the furrow is riled- erately straight, the first thing then to look at is the average depths. By this I. lo not Mean the everaee depth of the length of the furrow, but of the width. .Thus, suppose your man is plowing, and for curiosiby you measure the upturned edge of the furrow slice and find it to be six inches ; well, you say that is deep enough. • But then suppose you cut mit • a piece of thefurrow and -measure the. under edge, and find it to be only four ieches t is 'the average dePth ? Sim- • may • carry • away larger amounts of , not to return railing for railing but con - very rich deep loam; I would not in any ' -cane sub -soil extensively before draining. Still I would not mind trying a piece of nice high and. dry land. especially a field which suffered greatly from draught. For a, sub -soil plow 1 took a common iron beim plow, took off the mould board, bolted the handles together had a draught rod attached to the landside and hitched the device to this rod. The draught being thus so much on the land side of the plow makes the blow folic w in the tracks of the off horse. We now pass on to the trench plow. Trenching differs only from common plowing in depth. Where common plow- ing rarely exceeds a depth of eight or ten inches trenching goes- clown as far as eighteen or twenty, and even thirty inches. As a practice it requires great caution. 'Sometimes it is the making of a farm, and other times its ruination. If the seb-soil contains large quantities of iron it would not do to trench. If, on the other hand, the sub -soil does not Con- tain much iron, but instead some com- pound. which would_ be very desirable, such as lime, plaster, &c., why then trenching is just the diing. Take a farm which has been shallow plowed or "skinned" at we call it. The crops previously have been very light. Trench plow that farm and the crops will equal if not exceed those on the best farm around. But, bear in mind, the land should be drained first. Other things beinet'right for trenching there are two evils to be guard.ed against in trenching, and they caimot always be well managed. In the sub -soil there may exist the eggs of some insect, which it brought up in the warmth of the sun, may prove a scourge to the farmer. There may also be the seed of some noxi- ous weed in the sub -soil, which if broaght up would prove a great nuteance, but if left below would' do no harm. With re- gard to the insects, fall plowing, naay de- stroy them, but the weeds we cannot get over.

Be- cause, among many other benefits, it has brought.the Bible from it t obscurity and led men to think. Formerly, it lay hid in-cloistere known to only a few. For- merly, it was written in most instances in either Greek or Latin, and could only he purchased at an enormous sum. Now it is printed in the common * language of every country, and is so cheap as to be . within the reach of all. But let the printing press beoome the inediumdhtf eonveying a system of more* into die minds of the people, not in accordance with the Gospel, and its effects will Soon be felt. He challenges me to mention a single Christian .nation which existed prior to the invention of the art of print- ing, whose morality could. compare with tat of ancient Greece or Rome. The challenge is a pure perversion of history. Lethim study the enormities practiced. in the worship of Venus, Bacchus and Sati Even the pas whom they worship d were the impersonations of wickedness. During the dark ages in Europe with the Bible hid in cloisters, much wickedness, no doubt, prevailed, but e•ven with them it was done in opposition to the spirit of their religion ; whereas, with the ancient Greeks and Roman.s, it had the sanction of, and was directly inculcated by their religion and laws.

The slave trade, although condemned 'by Christianity, destroyed more in a year than the lequisition did in a Jitindred, or Perhapa has done since its foundation.
