As manure, ashes, on certain soils,
are invaluable. We have frequently ex.
perienced the beneficial effects resulting
from their application, but never more
convincingly than during The present year
On a piece of corn, containing about three
statute acres. we applied about twenty
bushels, and a like quantity of gypsum
or plaster Of paris; the ashes being apPli-
cd 10 every other row, in order that the
two ticles might be accurately ascertain
cd. The result Of this experiment was
perfectly in accordance with our previous
observations. Through the entire sea-
son. the rows on which the ashes were
applied " took the lead," and at harvest
produced nearly one fourth more than
those to which we applied g, psum. The
corn was sounder, aud better filled, and
besides .here was a much larger amount
Of fiddler. We would recommend to
every one to save all the house-ashes he
possibly eau. Even leached ashes are
too valuable to be thrown away. Appll-
ed as 10 top.dressing on grass lands. they
produce important and lasting effects.
One Of the most substantial farmers in
Massachusetts,, writing us on the subject,
says:-"I am now more fully than ever
persuaded of the value of ashes as ma

of manures. compared with them on my
lands, and this appears to be the common
opinion wherever they have been applied.
AT a distance Of nearly two miles from
the sea shore, sowed in 1885, twenty
five and half bushels to the acre.. The
soil was thin clayey loan, and the re-
suit Of the application was a crop OF ex-
cellent clover, where, for years, nothing
had grown but mullen and wild rye.
