' /larged range for the roots of plants, and in pro portion to its extent, furnishes them with ad ditional means of growth. Now, as we have a rainfall of twenty-two inches during the year, I think it is self evident that deeper cultivation would render us less dependent on the seasons. I shall now refer to the gues ion of deep or shallow ploughing in breaking up. lam quite aware that in this matter I hold opinions very different from those of clever and experienced farmers ; but I will endeavor to show that my view is the correct one. I certainly incline to breaking tip four inches to four and a half inches deep, while many ex perienced men skim as lightly as possible, so as to kill the roots of weeds, etc. No doubt this object is‘a good one, but there are reasons 'against it. . If the land is broken up say two inches, and 'then cross ploughed say six inches deep, it follows that the original surface is four inches deep/- the original top-soil is only one and a half inches below the seed soil. , I will now quote from a good authority on • these matters, so as to strengthen my case : “Chemical analysis has shown that the few : inches of top-soil contain most of the money in bur agricultural purse, each inch from the top containing less plant food from the one above it. ' 4 This is because the . surface soil has the power of arresting an-! fixing a large quantity of plant food, especially ammonia (some of ' which it gets from the atmosphere), phosphate of lime, and potash. Tlie first inch gets the best ' chance of appropriation and then comes the next and lower ones, and as plants multiply their side fibres near the surface, we may com prehend why surface manuring is often found so beneficial.” By breaking up deep, the roots of the plants are able to get the full benefit of the plant food qbntained in the surface soil, and the experi ence of the past season quite confirms my opinions on the subject. . . . Another point is that breaking up should be' done earlier than is at present the piactice. As a, rule but little breaking up is done until the crop is in,, but my experience teaches me that the earliest breaking up gives the best results. ' Last year I had some land broken up early, arid put in turnips in August, and the result fully jnstified an extension of the practice. The turnips did well where not •. taken by the fly, and were fit to eat off long before those sown in November, consequently there was land ready for cross ploughing early .in the season. There is a subject, and in my opinion a very important one, that has not received the con sideration it deserves at our hands. I refer to ■ thi jquestion of manures. It is a matter that will force itself on our attention before long, for no land is capable of bearing the heavy cropping that much of the Canterbury land has been subjected to of late years without the ap plication of manure. A friend in England once gave me the ad vice “Always consider your land poor, and keep it in good heart,” and I am convinced this advice >was the best he could give, and it is ad vice we can all follow with benefit to ourselves; but we are liable to fall into serious and costly mistakes if we go in for indiscriminate manur ing!

. I have lately been reading the results of soriie experiments with a set of different manures as tried on land in various places and. of dissimilar qualities. In each case an identi cal set of manures was used, bui the results varied exceedingly. In one case the applica . tion of isoibs. of nitrate of soda, costing Li 3s, 5d., brought no increase of corn ; 3ooib. of dissolved, bone black (charred bones super phosphated) added nealy twenty-nine bushels, at a cost of Li is. ios. ; while the two to gether added thirty-three bushels, at a cost of L2 4s. 3d. ; and 1501 b. of muriate of potash with these, increased the yield by thirty-eight bushels, at a cost' of L 3 4s. id. In one ex peiimetit this last fnanure increased the yield by 72 bushels. Now this is a very important matter, and one which deserves our most seri ous consideration. , In America great pains are taken and great expense is incurred annually in trying experi ments with manures, seeds, etc., so as to en • able the'farming commnnity to make the most of their land, and thus with their, prosperity to add to the revenue of the state. Having been in the Government myself I am fully alive to the numberless applications from all sources, that the Government has made upon it for assistance. In fact the general • public appear to look upon the’Government as a ' milch cow, and seem astonished that she should " ever run dry. I think such ideas cannot be too strongly de precated on every ground. They certainly are not calculated to make men self reliant, and I think it is in a great measure due to indis criminate assistance given by Governments that so many are now walking about as mem bers of the society of unemployed, who like tlieir brethren, “ The Sundowners,” in New South Wales, are looking for work and praying . to God they will not find it. The Government has, however, lately started a school of agriculture, showing that this most important branch of industry has received their . . serious attention, and I think it would come . within the province of this Associaiion to re present to the Government the advantage that would accrue from a series of experiments with different manures on various crops and in dif ferent districts. This is a matter that can only be done by a Government. The experiments, to be of any value, must be uniform in eveiy lespect, and this end can never be attained if carried out by private individuals, each one in his own way. If taken in hand by the Govern ment they would place the experiments in the hands of such men only, as \yould undertake to abide strictly by the rules laid down for their guidance. I am afraid I have already trespassed too far "on your patience to prolong this paper. It is only by mutual assistance and interchange of opinion that we can hope to arrive at anything like perfection in our calling. It now only re « mains for me to thank you for the patient hear . mg you have given me, and to express the hope that the remarks I have made my lead to dis .. cussion, and cause us to feel that we have gained some benefit from attendance at these monthly meetings, at which every, farmer in the district should strive to be present.

THE STORY-TELLER.

THE DISRUPTION; A TALE OF TRYING TIMES.

CHAPTER XXII — continued.

“Well, sir, here is my own interpre tation of it. The hill which I was about to ascend is what one of our poets calls . . . ‘ The slippery steep, Where fame and honor lofty shine/ the beautiful flower is Miss t-timper ton ” “ It’ll be a cabbitch rose, then, I jalouse,” replied Robin aside. “The lake of treacle I take to be the cloying sweets of conjugal endear - irients, which clog the movements of ' the most energetic natures who ever get into the slough; the' stinging insects are meddling busybodies who fasten at once on any man who tries to escape from it ; the apes and the mon keys stealing my clothes are the mean ... creatures who have no ideas of their ; but snatch at all they can pilfer , .from other people, and who would be particularly ready to make off with mine if ever I should lay them aside;

and the large, pot-bellied ape with my spectacles, is Sir Robert Peel, assum ing all the honors due to me, and availing himself of my profoundest views. Do you undcs stand ? “Yes, yes, I see plain eneuch. Really the dream reads like the open in’ o’ a stockin’.”

“Nay, it is surprising, sir; perfectly marvellous in its coincidence with reali ties and probabilities. But there is more to come. I next dreamt I was the leader of a great army. Its im mense masses of foot soldiers, clouds of cavalry, . and squadrons of flying artillery covered all the ground as. far as eye could see ; and I, as Com mander-in-Chief, was mounted on a superb charger, and riding at the head of tens of thousands. Well, just in my way, I saw a fountain of the purest water, and was tempted to slake my thirst at it. The very first drop I tasted acted like magic in transform ing everything about me. Why, what do you think my high-mettled war horse at once became ? ” , “ Maybe a ass.”

“No sir, but a. mushroom, a toad stool, a rotten fungus; and mv magnifi cent army was converted into a wilder ness of worthless weeds—hemlock, burdocks, and nettles. Now, the in terpretation of this is also perfectly clear. The glittering hosts which I was leading on to victory were my theo ries, projects, and discoveries in morals, politics, and physical science—destined, I doubt not, to achieve many a triumph, if I only persevere till I have their full powers developed and brought into action'; the charger I rode on is my love of speculation (vulgarly denominated my hobby-horse); and the pure fountain in the way is Miss Stim perton. Do you comprehend ?” “Ou ay, I see what ye mean ; but I dinna weel understand what way your habby-horse grew a puddock stool.” “ Don’t you, I think it is as clear as daylight.. By stooping to the fountain (Miss Stimperton) and tasting the tempting beverage (domestic felicity), my mind would become so enervated as to forget its high aspirings ; my habit of speculation would appear foolish; and all my great projects lose their charm in my eyes, and seem barren and extravagant. That is the plain reading of the dream, Mr. Afleck; and an ominous dream it is.”

“ Fegs, I think if there’s ony chance o’ your sodgers turning oot dockens, the sooner ye ken what they are the better; and if ye really be ridin’ on a puddock stool, ye canna come doon in owre great a hurry.” “No, sir; I won’t dismount. My speculations are sound, and well deserving the devotion of my whole life to them. Still lam sensible of the truth which is shadowed forth in these visions—the incompatiblity of matri mony with the ambitious hopes of fame. But I have not yet told all my dreams. I thought next I was some glorious bird, brighter than the peacock and more powerful than the eagle.” “ A kind of bubble3'-jock, like ? ”

“No, nothing of the turkey kind, but a bird more magnificent than any known to naturalists. Well, while I was sailing through the middle sky I saw, in a pool of water far beneath me, a beautiful white cygnet, and w r as tempted to pounce on it as a prey. But I no sooner did this than I was transformed into—what do you think?”

“ Ou, maybe intil a guse.” “ No, not a goose nor a gander either, but a swan; and ! was chained as you see the swan often painted on tavern sign-boards chained in a garden pond too small for boys to sail their tiny fleets in, condemned to the per petual company of the little cygnet, some frogs and a tame perch or two ! The dullest mind may understand what all this means. But the worst is still to .come. My last dream was this: —I thought I had at length obtained an audience of Sir Robert Peel, and, just as I began to address him on national affairs, a drop scene such as is used in theatres, fell down between us, and immediately I found myself in my own house at Auchterbardie. But the house was strangely changed. The sitting parlor was crowded, not as usual, with books and philosophical apparatus, but: with pots of jam, jelly, honey, and marmalade, all covered with shreds of my most valuable manuscripts* and Miss Stimperton sat at the fireside with a child upon her knee. While I stood gazing with astonishment at all I savy, my whole frame became rigid, my legs and arms were extended, and I was covered all over with half-wet baby clothes. I discovered, in, fact that I had become (by Jupiter !) a clothes horse, or what in some parts of the country is called a pair of winter dykes, and in my horror I awoke !’’ “ Pegs, Mr. Bacon, that’s the best dream ye’ve had ava; and it’s an easy read ane. I can see through the babby clouts fine.”

“ I don’t like it, though, and that’s enough. What! should I be content to forego my long-cherished schemes of greatness, and sink my talents in the quagmire of.family occupations? No; not even for Miss Stimperton, lovely and aimable as she is, will I do this— nor for any created woman. What I may do some time after this, when I shall have got my views promulgated, and have brought the nation out of the peril into which it has been plunged by the incapacity and ignorance of states men—mere red-tape , functionaries — what I may do then I cannot say; but in the meantime I’ll step aside for no flower, however beautiful; I’ll stop at no fountain, however tempting; but

pursue right onwards my arduous way ! ” “ And div ye mean to gang to the Palace withoot Miss Stimperton, after a’ her practeesing at coort manners for the purpose ?” “By no means. I can’t do that, you know, but I’ll not trust myself again in her presence till the Drawing-room day, and then just as little as possible.” “ But you promised to see her this vera day.” “ I know I did, but as I see matters now,. I can’t. You must go over to Nicholson Street and make the best ex cuse iyou can for me. It will be neces sary too, for you to tell her to be ready. to go with me at eleven o’clock on Monday, at which hour I will be at her lodgings for her. with a carraige. And be sure to remind her that she must study to be in proper costume—showy, flowing robe, and no head- dress but a few ostrich feathers.” As Robin traversed the town on this errand, he was struck with the bustle of preparation that, seemed to be going on for the illumination. Gas fitters and painters were working in front of the public offices and places of business of every description, with a vigor such as only men preparing to resist some imminent danger could be expected to display. Crowns,, stars, and the initials of the Queen and Prince Consort, in tin piping, were multiplying with the rapidity of icicles in a sudden frost after a thaw; and Queen, Princes, and Britannias in var nish colors, tvere executed with a bold recklessness that might be said to amount to a species of petty treason. Robin gazed agape at ail this as he passed along, but concluded in his own mind that none of the devices he had seen were so striking as Mr. Bacon’s : transparencies, particularly the one with the improved horse; neither did he deem any of the modes of lighting (not excepting even that with colored lamps), half so ingenious as his own cut-potato method. He therefore re solved that these special wonders should be witnessed by Jean Brown.
