FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Other men, in other conditions, may have
reached different conclusions, but the fol.
lowing are the results Of experimenting by
one farmer who knows how to wiring good
crops from the earth:
"First, more from necessity than from de-
sign, owing to scarcity Of labor, hc spread
his manure on his tillnge, rather than dung
ing in the hill, to the increase Of his potato
crop, both in quality and quantity. He has
followed the same method for several years
with decidei advantage. From suggest.
ions thus received, he treats his moving
fields to good top dressings with similar
results-heavy crops.
On the same idea, he refuses In any case
to plow in. or turn under his manure. pre-
fsrring first to plow, then spread the ma
nure, then harrow in. The ruling idea Is,
to have the manurcs always near the sur
face, accessible to all kinds Of roots; in
reader contact, also, with atmospheric in
fluences. Nor does he sympathise with
those who fear waste from the escape Of
its ammonia, in the exposure. That some
is soon los; is true: but where il goes is
the question. lie contends that il is alb.
sorbed by the soil, leaving very little for the
atmosphere.
BY experimenting himself, and by 9th.
crs within his knowledge, he is certain that
while wood ashes uninixed is on excellent
fertilizer, mixed with other mauures it neu-
,ralizes their effects. In several instances
he ID satisfied that after liberal cxpendi.
ture Of such compounds, tho resultant crops
Of corn were less thnn they would have
been without any manure. But IL the ma
nurc be in The car,l, aud tho ashes above
tho suriace, and no, in contact with the ma
nurc, the result is different.
In the spring OF 1867, from illness and
from the condition Of his soii, he did not
plant his corn ill most Of his lownsmen
were wedding theirs. hut In midsummer
his was up to theirs, and at harvest time be-
yond many of them in time and in guam
tity. This anil other like results he a,trib-
u,es to compound fertilizer, Us follows

In addition to the usual treatment, a gill oi

surprising results.
Turning my eye to the windows, il c,,s
