USE OF PLASTER,

1t is generally known that many good
farmers have tried plaster without any
apparent success. Why there should
be such a difference on its application to
different soils is a question that has
puzzled some of our modern philosophers
and chemists.
On many soils the sowing of two BUSH
els of plaster per acre has produced, and
still produces great effects in proportion
to the outlay. In pasture grounds it has
been spread on the sulface and has more
than double the feed without any other
cost than the plaster and the sowing
say one dollar per acre. This has been
the most common mode of application.
But OF late farmers are trying different
modes. Il is found that on soils which
are not supposed to be improved by SOW
ing on the surface, a slight narrowing
makes quite a difference. Many farmers
now SOW plaster at the lime of sowing
their spring grains, and they bury the
whole with the harrow.
1t is certain that good plaster has a
fine effect, even on sandy loans when
well mixed with the soil. 1t is particu-
larly useful when grass is sown with The
grain. 1t keeps the earth more moist in
August, at the time when The grain is
Graded, and, of course, favors the new
! pldnts.-PlouqhmQn.

CORN BROOMS.

Few are aware of the great extent and
importance of the manufacture of corn
brooms in the United States. The set
Element of new countries where the ma
terial is not raised has given a great i'm
petus 10 the manufacture of this article,
and proportionabiy increased its value.
For Australia and California large mum.
bera have been exported and their excel
lence having been known in Europe. a
large demand has within a few years
sprung up in various parts to supply their
markets. All who have passed up
the valleys of the Mohawk and Connec-
| ticut river NAV have noticed the large
fields of broom corn growing there, the
peculiar nature of the soil in bottom
lands being admirably adapted to the
plant. The New York cypress, in an
article on this subject states that n firm
in New York largely engaged in the
sale of cOrn-brooms, sells annually about
forty thousand dozen manufactured in
Schenectady and ten thousand dozen
from towns in Massachusetts. Most of
those manufactured in the latter Stale
finds market 10 Boston. The foreign de-
mand for brocms, in addition to the in
creased supply required for home con-
sumption, has run the price up from l2
TO II dollars per hundred. The excel
Ience of many brooms depends upon their
weight, when properly made, hence the
mode of selling them according 10 their
weight is now comirg into PRACTICE
Their average weight is a pound and a
half, and the price from eight to eleven
cents a pound.

GRAPE VINES.

Grape vines delight in being well ma
nured, and will given The best satisfaction
without a dry bottom and abundance OF
rich soil. Al this period Of the season,
those who have train'd grape vines in
their gardens, should examine them
thoroughly to destroy all caterpiller
worms, while they are small. One may
be found in almost every branch, rolled
up in a pellet of wool. And the labor
thus spent will pay for itself. During
warm dry weather, the surface Of the
ground around the roots of the vines
should be covered with litter TO protect
the tender r~Ootlets that spread out Sc
near the surface.
