Southern California. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1873. Plowing Wet Land The rains have held off so much and have now come so plentiful and the prospects look so bright for making a good crop, that we fear the farmers will be tempted to put the plow running while the ground is yet too wet. If any be so tempted, we would remind them that nothing will thus be gained. On the contrary, much may thus be lost. In the first place, it produces a permanent injury to the land itself to stir it when too wet. It causes it to dry in hard lumps and clods, the particles so compactly setting together as to be impenetrable by the air and even to water itself, for a considerable length of time. Plowing land when too wet is another name for "puddling" the soil; and everybody knows that puddling the soil—particularly the clay or adobe soil of this country—is the process by which adobe bricks are made; that when so puddled and packed together, it will withstand the action of the weather for years without dissolving or falling to pieces. So when clods or lumps are formed on the ground by working the soil too wet, it will require years of the most careful cultivation to reduce the soil to a good, fine, and healthy condition again. From what we have said as to the condition of the soil, in consequence of plowing when too wet, it may readily be inferred that such plowing would pretty certainly cause a partial failure at least of the immediate succeeding crop. Such most surely will be the result. The life and fertility of the soil will be formed on the ground by working the soil too wet, it will require years of the most careful cultivation to reduce the soil to a good, fine and healthy condition again. From what we have said as to the condition of the soil, in consequence of plowing when too wet, it may readily be inferred that such plowing would pretty certainly cause a partial failure at least of the immediate succeeding crop. Such most surely will be the result. The life and fertility of the soil will be destroyed, and a poor crop, or none at all, will follow as a natural consequence. Better be patient and wait till the ground is in good condition, even if you can't get in but half the ground you desire to sow, than to run such risks of producing such permanent injury to your land, and of losing your seed and labor, by being in too great haste.—Rural Press. Hints to Young Writers. 'Bouquet' is a French word; 'boquet' is not. 'Sobriquet' is a French word; 'soubriquet' is not. 'Hors de combat' is a correct French expression; 'hors du combat' is not. 'Illy' is not an English word. To say that a person is 'illy' adapted to any employment is as incorrect as it would be to say that he is 'welly' adapted to it. 'Illly' adapted is the proper expression. 'Firstly' is not an English word; 'first' should be used. 'Secondly' thirdly,' etc., are correct. The use of the word 'most' instead of almost is a vulgarism of New England origin. The 'Atlantic Monthly' lately exhibited it in some verses. Nouns ending in 'ey' form their plural regularly by adding 's'; as key, keys; monkey, monkeys; journey, journeys; attorney, attorneys; money, moneys. Ignorance leads some persons to write 'attornies' and monies, instead of the correct spelling. The word 'whisky' has no 'e' in it, and its plural is 'whiskies,' not whiskeys. It would be correct to say that "it is not unlikely 'that' Mr. Boutwell will be only too glad;" but it is incorrect to say that "it is not unlikely 'but' Mr. Boutwell will be too glad;" or, "it is not unlikely 'but' what Mr. Boutwell will only be too glad." This last form appeared recently in a prominent newspaper. If it The word 'whisky' has no 'e' in it, and its plural is 'whiskies,' not whiskey. It would be correct to say that "it is not unlikely 'that' Mr. Boutwell will be only too glad;" but it is incorrect to say that "it is not unlikely 'but' Mr. Boutwell will be too glad;" or, "it is not unlikely 'but that' Mr. Boutwell will be only too glad;" or, is not unlikely 'but.' what Mr. Boutwell will only be too glad." This last form appeared recently in a prominent newspaper. If it means anything, it means that "it is not unlikely 'except that which' Mr. Boutwell will be only too glad"—which is unadulterated nonsense. [W. D.]—The Proof Sheet. "I have ever been your friend," roared G. F. Train to a colored audience of twenty-four, at Memphis, one night recently. "What is the reason that so few of you are here to-night, when I only charge you ten cents, and the other night I charged a dollar? Can any one of you colored men tell me the reason of this?" A colored citizen: "Because you called us 'cocoanuts' in the newspapers." [Roars of laughter] Train explained that this was a lie invented by his wicked partners, the sensational press. Important to Wine Producers. Recent experiments made in Germany have shown, that in shipping red wines to foreign countries on the passage to which they will be subjected to the intense heat of the tropics, a proportion of tannic acid made from the seed of grapes and added to the wine has the effect of preserving its quality and giving it a clear and beautiful color. Horace Greeley has been delivering a lecture on Wit, but he has done a better thing, in presenting to the Boston "Woman's Suffrage Fair," a cradle! General Merchandise.
