MANURE is Wealth. In our inter
course with some OF the farmers residing
within forty or fifty miles from New York,
on Long Island, We have been surprised
at the instance related to US of the profta-
oIeness OF tanning Some farmers, known
10 have iaboled and toiled hard, have con-
t!nued year, Y to fall in arrears until they
have commenced buying manure Fifty
SIX SCENTS are given per carman load at the
! landing, tor the apparently worthless dir
swept from the street, This applied at the
! rate OF twenty loads produces wealth. The
very farmers who could not obtain living
BY using only manure made on their farms,
have, tn very lew years, not only freed
their farms from membranes, but rur-
| chased others in addition. and are now,
from the yearly profits of their farms, put
j ting money out at interest. If then it is
found so profitable to buy manure, and be
at the various expenses attending the cart
ing, how very important is it 10 give spe-
! clai attention to increasing the quantity
and improving the quality of that made on
! the farm. There IS no question but that
almost every farmer can double the quaint
! ty of his domestic or yard manure, withou,
scarcely any additional expense. 1t is
thought too, that at least fifty pr cent. OF
the nutritive properties ofyard manure are
lost by dFenching OF rain, excessive fer
mentations, and injudicious application to
soil The more we consider this subject
the greaterdoesit become in importance,
and Justly regarded as the primary objec,
| in farming.-N. 7. Farmer.

EARLY PorAroEs. A writer for the

EARLY PoTAToEs A writer for the
Ellsworth Me. Courier recommends the
following method of raising early potatoes
Take as many potatoes as you wish to
plant for early ones. Put them in box or
barrel, mixed in with dry loom and horse
manure mixed together, then Put them in
an ash hole, or some warm place in the
sun, covered from the ram, then let them
remain until the sprouts are from one to
two inches long, by which time the ground
will become warm as well as the season.
have your ground prepared, made good
and well MANFRED, then ia Ike your potatoes,
ve,y carefully cut, or plant them whole as
YOU please, but do not jnjure the sprouts,
and be careful to cover with ieht earth,
& assoon ashley areupan inch ortwo, hoe
them carefully, and in this way you may
have potatoes by the 18th or 2Olh of July,
and you can getan early kind by tie 4th.
This plan we believe, would answer as
substitute for hot bed, to force the
carly growth of potatoes, when cultivators
are not accommodated with this useful ap-
rendage to a fam as we'll as a GARDEN

ADVANTAGES OF TREES. Cattle thrive
much better in fields even but moderately
sheltered with trees han they do in an open
exposed country. An Italian (Gautc;i)
has enumerated and illustrated the advan-
tages in point of climate which tracts of
country derive from woods and forests -
"These,' he says, are arrcsting the pro-
gross Of impertuoUs and dangerous winds;
maintaining the temperature Of the air; reg
u'ating the seasons; ltsstning intense co!d;
opposing the formation and increase free;
model ating intense heats; producing alum
dance olWater in the Iive1s; discharging
the electricity Of the atmosphere: opposing
a barrier to washing away or undermining
banks; preserving from inunda}iOns; Trc-
serving the soil On hills and mountains"
