Tbo Wheat grew off rapidly and appear
ed superior to any I had the following
summer; but unfortunately the seed
which | got from Baltimore was injur-
cd. and by good judges, at least one
third of it did not come up. did not
and could not expect full crop; never
theless it branched so astonishingly it
made a fine crop, making nincty-slx
bushels of good wheat. Glover was see
tled upon this lot of land and raked IN,
about Is lbs. to the acre; it was one OF
the hest sets of clover I saw the follow
ing summer.
Bone-r7ua is another valuable ma
nure. and which is not used in proper
ton to other manures; apart from the
phosphate of lime it contains, the olea-
genous properties in it renders it per-
manent manure. Its effects upon crops
are noc in proportion to the benefit I'M
parted to land; it is one Of the best ma
nures for the grasses, applied at the rate
of from l. to 20 bushels to the acre, 1t
renders the land much improved. L
have derived great and lasting benefit
by it's application; not so much from
the increase Of crops, (although they
were considerably increaScd,) as from
the great benefit impaired to the land.
The great difficulty of procuring ground
bones unaluIterated, and the high cost
of them, mas caused .hem not to have
been applied as Eberal!y as | could hav
wished; consequently my experiment
with them have not been as full as
could nave desired. The application
bones by different modes, is now claim
ing The attention Of good and practica
farmers.

when properly compounded forms {
good manure Ny experience in this
manure has been limited, yet L have
applied it to corn in the hill; It's effect
was marked and decided; it, however was
not so apparent in the increase Of the
crop, as 1t was in its growth. l have
derived great benefit from it upon vcge-
tables and flowers, and consider it the
best manure for gardens. The Pou-
drette obtained from the Lodi Manufac-
turing Company of New York, is decI-
dedlv the best have ever used. There
ar. other compounded manurcs, such as
"6alts," "Renovators,' &c., made by
different chemists; the manipu.ators
themselves differing in their compounds

Same purpose, and added to the addi-
tional fact that they have not improved
or benefited our lands or crops, is sutfi-

Butn,yard and Stable Aanures,-
This Is tn; most valuable and prolific
source from which the Farmer is by
his own efforts and economy to improve
his land. This manure, though not so
permanent in its effects, yet applied af-
ter lime or mari, Is lasting AMI benef-
ciai. It's the great reservoir from
which the farmer is by his own indus
try and management to draw his sup
phes for the Improvement Of his land
as we'll as in a measure to derive hl
wealth; and he should husband bis re
sOurc IS IN such manner as to have
constant eye to the accumulation OF no
only ali the offal from his stock, but al
the ltcaying vegetable matter from hi
farm. The greatest negligence prevail
among many farmers in relation to tn
carelessness with which they attend
their barn-yArd and stable m1nurcs; th
weddings from cattle, the evaporation
nutritive portion of manures, would
saved and attended to, improve mo-
land than what little they carry out u
On them There is nothing which
farmer can more judiciously use thu
plaster, in the absorption of the voidin

able properties of manures, which a
constantly escaping in the form Of ga

of plaster in all the vegetable manur
raised upon the farm; it is essential in 4;
we'll regulated and ventilated stabl
and COW sheds, in preserving the heal

the noxious exhalations of the punge
if not poisonous gases which constant
escape from the manurcs. Plast
fully repays the farmer who uses it, t.
fold. Much could be said upon Il
subject by strenuously advising a me
careful and constant eye to the accum
lation and preservation Of barn-ya
and stable manurcs.
