and we would most earnestly recommend
the introduction of sheep husbandry on a
more or less extended scale, to any farmer
who practices the system OF turning IN
crops for manure The necessity of car.
rying them through the winter, will still
further provide the materials for tertlllza'
ton, by accumulating a store OF manure
from this source, which without the sheep
or full equivalent in other stock, would
not be thus secured.
But to recur to the subject of turning in
green crops 1t is evident at single
glance, that this system does not accom-
plish all that is ecessary in sustaining the
full measure of fertility Of land subject to
close cropping. In a rotation consisting
of clover and wheat simply, we find that
the wheat abstracts large amounts OF the
phosphate of lime, potash, gypsum, salt,
&c. , &C., which, ifnothing be added to the
soil, except the clover crop, will in few
wears, reduce any ordinary soil to so low
point, that it cannot yield profitable re-
returns. The land may continue to yiele
for long time; but it is evident that i

harvest, which must be applied to it, or i
will eventually be exhausted.
The true and only remedy for this, is, tt
ascertain by analysis, either of your own
, or the well established researches of 9TH
ers, precisely what of the inorganic mate,
rial, such as are inherent in the soil, anc
not found to any appreciable extent in the
atmosphere, are taken from the land by
cropping or feeding, and not returned to j
by straw, munure, or offal of any kind, ane
return those materials to the land in sucf
available shape as will enable future crop
to supply themselves with all they require
This is indispensable to succession of goo'
crops and prolongs fertility, and no farme
j is wise who neglects this practice singl'
|, year, however seemingly we'll his adopte
d system may answer, which does not en-
l. brace the foregoing practice.

The POTATO Disease.

At the installation of Lord I.ittleton as
Principal of Queens College at Birmingham
the eminent DIR. BucIland made some re-
marks in regard to the matter of good deal
of interest. He characterized the disease as
a 'nurrain or gangrene." He said it first
showed itself in Belgium, extended itself to
the provinces on the Rhine and thence to
France, England, and even to America. He
had lately been present at the Royal Agricul-
tural Society of France when two very able
essays upon the subject were read. He quo
ted also from letter of the Commissioner of
the Times the following paragraph concern
ing the peculiar form which the disease had
assumed ina district of Ireland, which will
be found, we believe, to describe with good
deal of accuray It's appearance i'll this coun-
try
II am sorry to say that was to-day inform
ed by the priests of the parish of Clonlea, in
the Tulla, the district IN Clare about which |
have Just written that the potatoes in gener-
al are affected with disease. He last week
saw eight barrels ofpotatoes, or about five
months provisions for a family apparently
sound put into pit, and 60 bbls. put into
another pit, which, OH being opened to-day,
had not a barrel of available potatoes in eth
err; nearly the whole of the potatoes were
found to be diseased and decomposed. His
accounts to me are most alarming. On dig
ging the potatoes generally through the dis
trlct they are found i'll the same manner dis
eased. a black spot on them spreads under
the surface of the skin round the potato, and
at length goes through to the heart oft, the
whole substance becoming black and decom-
posed. Some of the people have given up
digging their potatoes in despair, and it is
most alarming to contemplate what the re-
suit may be. 1t is, however, certain that
some steps will be required to meet the hor-
ror of famine.
DIR auckland, in commenting upon this,
spoke of the disease as ''the plague-the
scowge of God, which was upon them; and
said that every days delay in arresting the pes
thence might prove fatal to thousands. The
which he had characterized as a
he had no doubt was produced by
the wet summer; and unless proper remedies
were applied he thought it would end in the
total destruction ofthe crop He thus de-
scribed process by which diseased pota-
toes could be rendered perfectly harmless,
and said he had eaten some thus prepared at
the table of Lord Ashburton:-
If the potatoes infected were first of all
stepped for IL hours in cold water, the water
then changed, and they were then peeled and
stepped for another IL hours before being
boiled (which they ought to be in two new
waters they would be found to be perfectly
wholesome and nutritious. When STEPPED
Or macerated as described, they were perfect
y naeocuous to man or beast The putrid
potatoes, which ofcourse, could not be used
for food, ought to be made into starch. !

Agricultural,
Taking a Hint.

1t is very surprising to see how slow men
arc to take II hint. The frost destroys about
one halfthc bloom on fruit trees everybody
prognOsticates the loss offiuit; instead ofthat
the haLf that remain are larger, fairer, and
higher favored than usual; and the trees, in
stead ofbeing exhausted, are ready for anotl-
er crop the next year. Why don't the owner
take the hint, and thin out his fruit every
bearing year? But no, the next season sees
his orchard overloaded, fruit small, and not
well formed; yet he always boasts of that
first mentioned crop, without profting by the
lesson which it teaches.
We heard man saying, "the best crop of
celery ! ever saw, was raised by old John
--, on n spot of ground where the wash
from the barn yard ran into il after every
hard shower" Did he take the hint, and APP
ply liquid manure to his celery trenches?-
MOI ut all.
We knew case where a farmer subsoil-
ed field, and raised crops in consequence,
which were the admiration of the meighbor-
hood, and for years the field showed the add
vantages of deep handling. But we could
not learn that Il single farmer in the neigh
borhood took the hint. The man who acted
thus wisely, sold his farm, and his successor
pursued the old way ofsuriace tching.-
\ staunch farmer complained to us of his
soil as too loose and light; we mentioned ash
es ms worth trying; swell now you mention
it, believe it will do good. bought part
of my farm from n man who was wonder
fiji fellow to save up ashes, and around his
cabin ii lay in heaps ! took away the house
and ordered the ashes scattered, and to this
day notice that when the pillow runs along
that spot, the ground turns mp moist and
close grained" II is strange that he never
took the hint.
a farmer gets splendid crop of corn or
other grain from off a grass or clover ley
Does he adopt the system which shall allow
him every year just such n sward To put his
grain ON? No, he hates book farming and
scientific farming, and "this notion of rota-
tom" and joys on the old way.-h9iaau Far.
