ONE HUNDRED Tons OF GRASS TIC
TIE AcRE.-A statement was copied from
an English paper some time since, settin g
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 supposed that there must
be mistake in these figures, but gen
tleman who recently visited this estate
says:
Four or FIVE crops of the heavy,
stout, Indian rye grass is not unusual
and Mr.. Mech, Of the celebrated Trip
tree Farm. informed me that he had once
grown seven crops during the summer
This grass grows with great rapidly and
luxuriance under the system of irrigation
adopted on many of the large estates il
England, and particularly by Mr.. Mcchi,
ofapplying liquid manures through pipes
embedded in the soil"
In publishing the above fact the Val
ley Farmer says:
The American farmers can hardly
form remote idea of the benefits that
are yet to result from science applied to
farming. Land draining, trench plow-
ing, irrigation, and liquid manuring, are
agencies yet to be employed to swell the
products of our leading crops TO an ex
tent now almost exceeding belief

COMPARATIVE VALUE OF RooTs FOR
Cows.-A writer in the Connecticut State
Agricultural Transactions, gives, from
"a careful experience in winter feeding
of mich cows" his judgment of the
comparative value of roots. Carrots pro-
mote the richest milk sugar beels are
next best; potatoes follow, and turnips
class last in the product as to quality, but
first as TO quantity. They were com
pared as fed pound for pound. Carrots,
he thinks better for small families, where
they desire but small quantity of milk,
but Of richest quality, and fat. sleek
looking COW. Turnips are the best for
those who sell milk, and desire TO pro-
duce the greatest quantity.

The USE OF PorAsu AND SASD.-N,

The USE or PorAsn AND SAHD.-No
vines can produce fruit without potash.
Dyewoods and all color-gi,ing plants
owe tl.eir vivid dyes to potash. With
out it we cannot have a mess of peas
Where il exists in a natural state in the
sod, there we find leguminous plants
growing wild, and in such places only we
find wild grapes. All the cereals re-
quire potash, phosphate Of magnesia, and
silica, which is dissolvable in solution of
potash. Ii is this dissolved sand that
forms the hard c. at Of the stalks, and
gives them strength to stand up against
the blasts OF wind and rain while ripen-
ing.
