OF NEW JERSEY.


THE New Jersey Fertilizer Company is now
| 4 prepared to receive orders for this important
manure. For all lands upon which ashes are ben
efcial, the Mari is more than a substitute.
Prof. Cook in his Annual Report to the Iegis.
flature of New Jersey says: "The value of these
Marls is best seen in the rich and highly cultvat.
ed district which has been improved, almost made
fby their use but it may be interesting to exam
inc the causes Of their great value in Agriculture
and>to compare them with other fertilizers. For
Example: The potash alone may be taken at an
average of five per cent. ofthe whole weight Of the
Mari. a bushelwhen dry weighing eighty pounds,
four pounds of potash; this is nearly as much as
there is in bushel of unleached ,cood ashes" And
again-it is probable that the great value of the
Mari is to be found in the fact thatit contains near
ly all the substances necessary to make up the ash
of our common cultivated plants. -. 5.l.,. -.

of the Company at Portland Heights on Raritan

Autumn Hints.

The. autumn is the best time for draining.
Waste and useless ground can now be dram
ed. which. if let. until me spring, would be
unavailable for another year. Many have
been astonished at their own success III
this work. Two years since farm
or near this city drained an ugly swamp
thinking it might answer for willows the fol-
lowing spring; but failing to obtain cuttings
the land became so dry the last of May, he
was induced to try corn, and raised an excel
lent crop. Digging stumrs. grading. and all
outdoor jobs of this nature, can be done
now better than at any other time this sea
son.: Our springs are short. unsettled, and
generally very unpleasant. Our autumns
are glorious; All foreign travellers agree
that the beauty of the American Autumn is
unequalled Let it be we'll improved.
Hogs for early killing should now receive
attention, and be put on full rations. This
matter is DELAYED generally too long. The
fine weather in the fail is the very best time
for making pork cheap. 1t Will cost much
less to manufacture it Row than during the
cold weather of carly winter, when the pigs
will have all they can do to keep warm.
This is the best time for sowing timothy
ard it is a question worthy Of consideration
81, -<Io ,f oil
seed might not lie made profitable in the
"Genesce country" now that our great sta
pie, wheat. has failed.
Manure is much more easily made in the
fall and winter than in the warm weather OF
summer. and the quality is better. Decom
position takes pl; ce more slowly and regular
". and the valuable gases are more easily re-
t.,inct. Then there is less danger of loss b,
burning. or becoming fire fangcd." as this
burning is generally termed. Muck from the
swamps. the remains of OFT. straw stacks, all
refuse ard coarse stuff that cannot be made
available for feed. should be gathered togcth-
or, with the view of turning it into manure
bv spring Many farmers in some sections
of our country spend hundreds of dollars fol-
guano, and other fertilizers. that they might
save if they would give more attention to
making manure at home. In these parts. lit
tie guano is used. Tut many crops are
starved down to half their natural proper
tons for want of proper feeling.
Above all things. save the fodder. Let
nothing be wasted that will help the
stock through the winter Don't sell any
thing in the fall that YOU may have to buy
back again in the spring at double the price
YOU paid for it. YOU have too much stock
for your feed, procure more at once, or sell
off part of the stock. \ small number we'll
fed will be more profitable than large num-
her badly provided for. During the first
part of the winter feed WELL but not lavishlv
and improve as the spring approaches.
