therein, they will make more money that day than they could any fine day
in the field.

American Cultivator: In winter, while the ground is covered with snow
and the soil is frozen deeply, it is sometimes curious to note the
effect of openings leading down to deep underdrains. The snow will be
melted away by the warm air coming up from the unfrozen earth. Even in
an uncovered drain three feet deep, a little straw or loose earth will
generally protect the bottom from severe freezing.

Cincinnati Gazette: There are so many excellencies about the cow pea,
and it is good for so many uses, that we advise our Ohio, Indiana, and
Kentucky farmers to be sure and cultivate it this year. Next spring,
when all danger of frost is over, sow, plant, or drill more or less of
these valuable peas, and, in the language of the elder Weller, "you'll
be glad on it arterwards," and so will your live stock.

New England Homestead: Nearly level culture, hand-hoeing and slightly
hilling but once, and keeping the cultivator running, was recommended at
the Waterbury meeting as the best culture for potatoes. It was said that
the second hilling induced a second growth of roots higher up on the
plant which produced small tubers. If this is not done the additional
growth will make large potatoes.

Cincinnati Gazette: During sundry recent visits to Tennessee, we noticed
that a considerable share of the immigrants arriving were from Michigan.
They are mostly of the second generation from the settlers from the East
in that State--men in the prime of life, who are seeking cheap lands in
a genial climate, where the pastoral, dairy, and fruit-raising pursuits
to which they are accustomed may be pursued with perfect success.
