Tanners RarIx-

Millions of tons of spent tan bark exists
about the tanneries of this country, and we
are frequently asked if it has any value.
While trees are growing they are contin-
ualiy receiving from the soil all these inor-
ganic constituents which go to form the ashes
of the bark and leaves when burnt There
fore 1t Is evident, that tan bark contains these
constituents, and d-Hhen it is very old aud con
centrated By decay, it has value, all of which
may be availed if for more distant use bv bur
ming the tan bark, and thus reducing the
bulk to be moved. When required to be
used near by. it should be decomposed with
the iiaie and salt mixture We have SO fire.
quently recommended for such purposes, aud
then made the absorbent of the fluid portions
OF the compost heaps; after which by for
ming part of the compost, il is reduced to
that condition In which plants may feed upon
it In many soils it has mechanical value in
dividing them, rendering sandy soils rather
more tenacious. and clayey soils less so.-
Well decomposed tan bark is an admirable
manure for strawberries. but not SO good as
the bark liquor diluted with hundred times
ITS bulk of water before its application. Straw
berries grown in aud about woods, are al
ways higher favored; the reason is. that the
surface of the strawberries. where all it's fla
vor exists, contains notable amounts. of tan.
MIC acid. and if this be supplied. strawber-
riss are considerably improved by York

AGRgGdRGaR9E.
From the Farmer and Gardner.
The Best Machinery.

Last summer three years ago. although in
possession of good single horsepower and
:hresher, thought it would be more econom
ical to lay it aside if not otherwise disposed
of, aud substitute two-horse thre.her, and
cleaner combined. 1t proved one of the best
investments, SO far as regards quick return
that ever made.
The year succeeding. wheat, previous to,
and during the harvest, commanded high
price. From the appearance of the growing
crops, I was satisfied that a material change
in value would soon take place, and believed
it would be best to realize some advantage
from a machine which cost two hundred and
twenty-five dollars at the factory. The re-
suit was, that the difference In the value of
the wheat threshed and sold then, and its val
ue at the usual time of disposing fit, amount
ed to more than the entire cost of the machine
With the one-horse power. very little, if any
would have been threshe3, as it would have
been slow process, in consequence of the
length of the straw, and would have 1nterfer-
ed very much IN getting in the coming crops
From this, [ argue that it is the part of true
economy with every farmer who has the means
to provide for the purpose of the farm sufii-
ciently ample machinery to do the work quick
ly and well. and at the proper moment. II
not only gives him, to some extent the ad
vaItages of throwing his produce into mar.
ket on short notice, but it saves labor, and
consequently expense. 1t is the first outlay
which frightens. This should not be, wher
want of means is not the excuse. The bes
machinery, and enough of it, where it viii
proftably dispense with hand labor, shoulc
be the motto of every farmer who desires t.
have work done properly and quickly. H
