THE FARM.
One Hundred tt rs to the Acre.

A statement was copied from an English
paper some time ago, setting forth that one
hundred tons Of grass had grown in one
season from single acre, on land belonging
to the estate of Lord Derby. Many sup
posed that there must be mistake in these
figures but gentleman who recently visited
this estate, says: -Four or five crops of the
heavy, stout Indian Rye grass, is not unusual;
and Mr.. Mechi, Of the celebrated Triptree
Farm, informs me that he had once grown
seven crops during the summer. This grass
grows with great rapidity and luxuriance un-
der the system of irrigation adopted on
many Of the large estates in England, and
particularly by Mr.. Mechi, of employing
liquid manures through pipes imbedded in
the soil" In publishing this fact, the Valley
Farmer says, "'lhe American farmers can
hardly form remote idea Of the benefits
that are yet to result from science applied to
farming. Land-dran, trench blowing, rri-
cation, liquid manuring are agencies vet 10
be employed to swell the products of our
leading crops to an extent how almost ex
ceedng belief"

Old Tnnbark for Manure.

81. J. w." of Tennessee, asks
Is spent taubark good for manurei {"
Yes. 1t is valuable applied in many
ways. AS manure alone, it can
hardly be compared with peat, because
of tie larger amount Of gallic and 9th
er acids It contains, but with an ad-
mixture of lime these are in some de-
gree neutraiized. The most profitable
way in which old tanbark can be en-
ployed is as an absorbent OF the liquid
manures in the stables and yards. If
u supply is kept constantly on hand
and placed so as to absorb the urine
from the cattle and horses in the sta
bles, and changed as soon as it be-
comes saturated, it will be found equgl
to the best manure.
If applied directly from the yard,
with the addition of little lime, it
will be found not only valuable as a
manure, but on heavy clay soils its
mechanical effect is important. Un-
less it can be obtained in large guam
titles we should prefer it for mulching
fruit trees, raspberry-vines, grape
wipes, strawberry-plants and the like.
An application to all of these, except
the strawberry, to the depth of from
three to six inches, will prove very
beneficial in dry seasons, which seem
now to prevail. When applied to
strawberries, one or two inches is sui:
ficient.
In countries where manure is in
great demand, is sometimes charred
in the same way that peat is, and used
in stables as we have recommended
above. In this form it will answer q
better purpose on light porous soils
than when applied uncharred. II
within reasonable hauling distance,
we would recommend you to apply in
some Of the forms we have mentioned
all.,you can get.-COuntry Gentle
man.

About Potatoes.

Permit me to say few words about
the potato, subject quite as impor,
tant as the question concerning the
adoption Of the "red skirt" by the
tairer portion Of creation, or whether
the modern bonnet was intended to
protect the head Or NEARLY to hang
Oh the back part as articles are hung
on the nails about the room for cOnven-
ienCe. | am Yankee, and hail from
the banks of the Connecticut, in, the
Old Bay State, and where we have
nice mealy potatoes, an article have
not been able to find at Rochester.
Even the famous Blue MERGERS 10
not compare with our Carriers and
other varieties. | love good potato
as dearly as if | first drew breath in
that island where they raise fine ones
and have no snakes and should the
question be no bread or no potatoes,
| should vote strongly for the last ar
ticle. Ibelieve too much seed is used.
My rule has been one small potato
to hill, and not cut them. | have
always met with gOod success. The
following clip from the Springfield
Republican:
"B. r. Williams, of Coldwater,
Mich, states that he has been expert
mentlng upon seed potatoes for Seve-
raj years, and he finds that one quar-
ter Of the seed generally used is an i'm
provement. From one to two eyes in
a hill, he says, will produce more po-
tatoes, gilmore even size, and less sub
jcct to decay than any larger ersamOunt
of seed"
We think our farmers generally
have been tending to the same theory
for several years, although they have
not, perhaps, carried to that extent.
Our English and Irish farmers say
that we use three times the seed that
they do, and that as consequence
we get more small potatoes and less
large ones than they do, and not so
good aggregate crops.--Cor. Rural
New Yorker.

BUSINESS COURTESY Nothing
more certainly marks the gentleman
than the observance of a uniform
courtesy and kindness in the business
of life. Such a bearing towards all
men should be cultivated till it grows
to be a habit. Sure, kind words are
as abundant, and cost no more than
harsh ones. Many man has robbed
himself of success by an austere and
baughty manner. Such an address
,chills those whom interest attracts,
and imparts q confidence that might
become almost fond. There is moth.
