Geology of The United States, recently
delivered in England by the celebrated
Mr. Lyell, he stated the Ohio coal
field extends for a length of seven

larger than the whole of England.
The coal Is formed in workable beds
Of considerable thickness; and in one
instance there is bed of coal forty
feet thick, which comes up t. the sur

was the consideration Of he recession
Of The Falls Of Niagara. He exhibited

the Falls, extends for seven miles, and
there i no doubt hat al one period Tie
Niagara river fell over the cliffs a,
Queenstown three hundred feet high
The present height Of the Falls is

rate Of recession is about one foot il a

TO have been formed at a later geologic
epoch than Europe The Andes,

Appf,EsuFoR HOGS.

that they both made them grow and help towards

It's my opinion that our farmers better set out
more orchards rather than cut down what they now
have The old orchards are fast going to decay in
this vicinity, and the rising generation will want
for apples unless more trees are set out soon.

NEW GRASS FIELDS.

The grass seed that was well sown in August
looks extremely well. W. had timely rams IN the
latter part of that month and September, that brot
up the blades strong and healthy. It's pleasing TO
note the progress of this new mode Of stocking
down lands TO grass. Six years ago not one farm
er in fifty would admit that II was good husbandry
to turn over the green sward furow and stock 1t
down at once without sowing grain with the grass
seed great majority thought 1t absurd to lay
the land to grass again, without first ulling 1t two
or three years, to make it mellow.
One consequence of this erroneous notion was,
that low, fiat cold, and wet grounds suffered
to lie dormant They were not profitable or suit
able for tllage, yet they The best part of every
farm for moving grounds. But now we soc these
low lands bearing the richest crops Of grass, and
we get it without going through the costly process
of tllhng Jnst tor the sake of ulling; and we arc
now able to give every field chance-we practice
rotation, yet keep these low grounds constantly il
grass.
The grand effects of this now system of rotation
are beginning 10 be evident to the farmers in al
parts Of New gland. When we lectured at the
Cattle Show, in Kennebec, on the 9Th lnst we al
luded TO this new mode of seeding. The clergy
man who ollciated on the occasion, said to us af-
forwards, that he had prdcuced sowing in this mode
for three or four years, and thought 1t great i'm
provement.
In IA large number of our towns you will find
fields sown in this mode. When the practice be-
comes general we have not the least doubt it will
add one quarter TO the quantity Of English nay, on
all farms where such soils are found.-.HdSSdchu-

TRANsPLANTING APPLE Trees, All hardy fruit

BILE portion Of manure in the soil, provided it has
previously been internixed with the soil and thor
oughly rotted.
very successful experiment made two
years ago by the writer, the results of which are
now very striking, by digging very large holes for
apple trees, ana filling them with mixture of soil
and rotted manure. A thorough interniXture OF
the soil and manure was effected, as they were
gradually filled H. by means Of a large toothed l.
ron rake. The holes were about seven feet in d.
ameer and foot deep, In setting out the trees
comm garden earth only was placed in contact
with the roots, consequently the effect of the mix
ed rotten manure not visible the first year.
The present year, however, its influence has been
most OBVIOUS in the rapid growth Of the shoots, and
IN the uncomony hard and rich hue Of the large
luxuriant foliage.
1t is hardly necessary TO add that the soil as a
matter OF course was kept clean and in a mellow
state, and that the trees were tied to an unrigb,
stake, driven into the hole before filing, 10 preven,

BoYs' PLowING March. At the Newcastle
Co. Delaware Agricultural Exhibition last month,
there was a spirited blowing match for boys under
IL years Of age. 1t is thus described:
"Now followed the second match, being entries
for boys under 10 years of age; eight Of whom
entered. Their performance was indeed surpris.
ing. The first premium was won by a lad by the
name Of Janvler, the son, as understood of a poor
widow woman; and when asked whether he would
have piece OF plate, or its value in money, repIi-
ed that he would take the money, he wanted it
for his MOTHER The second was won by Master
George Jackson, boy Ten years old IA son of Mr..
Bryan Jackson, large farmer,) aud thought small
OF his age. The clearing up fnrruw of this lad.
exceeded any thing ever saw of the same kind
by boy. In addition to the second premium, Mr.
Pedder presented to him, through member OF the
Committee, as coming from the Messrs. Prouty
whose pow he held, beautiful little watch, with

less gratifying, apparently, to the spectators VIII,

tions for curing meat, which consider worth doub-

to cure and preserve meat for family use | cheer

cipe knowing that those Of your readers who choose
to follow it, will be amply repaid for the slight sac
rice of time and trouble, consequent upon SO do
ing. ASUBscRBER.
Hoosick Falls, NJ T. 1915.
At the request of several correspondents, we
here repubsh the receipt for curing hams above
alluded to- We have practced according to this
mode for several years, and have found it superior
to any with which we have been acquainted.
Forevery one hundred pounds of meat, take five
pints of good molusses, Tor five pounds brown su-
gar five ounces supetre, and eight pounds Of rock
salt; add three gallons of water, and boil the in
gradients over gentle fire, sknming>of the troth
or scum as It rises. Continue the boiling till the
salt &C. is dissolved. Have the hams nicely cut
and trimmed, packed in casks, with the shank end
down. as the pickle will thus strike in BETTER
When the pickle is sufficiently cool, pour it over
the hams. They may lie in pickle from two to SIX
weeks, according to the size Of the pieces, or the
stale of the weather-more time being required in
cold than in warm weather. Beef or mutton hams
or tongues intended for smoking and drying, may
be cured according to tins mode, and will be found
excellent.

The Wheat Crop Of 1916. The Wheat crop of
the United States for this year, is estimated lbs
million bushels. The wheat crop Of 1912, which
was the largest ever previously raised in this coun-
try, was l03,O00,000 The increase of 22,000,O00
bushels, shows not less the large additional amount
of land brought under cultivation, than the genial
character of the past summer.
The crop of Michigan is comparatively larger
than that of any state in the Union With pop
uaton of not over 100000 she raises this year at
