DETERIORATION on OATs.--At late
meeting Of the American Institute Far
mers Club, Horace Grecly spoke Of the
Norway oats, and on the general subject
Of the deterioration Of oats as follows:
IL have seen field Of the Norway
that was quite magnificent. The stalk
were as thick as my finger The yielc
was reported to be nearly $40 bushels tC
the acre. As Club.we have never con
demned the Norway DAT. but We upbraid
ed firms who collect SO for bushel o
light common oats mixed with thistle
seed. All Improved oats come from
cooler and moister regions, and in such
season as this the oat crop is general.
heavy, We ought regularly to get GU
seed from Canada or Nova Scotia. o
Scotland, Norway, and the coolest part
of Europe. Such seed in cool mois
season will do admirably with us; bu
carried South, or sowed on dry soil, il
dry time, it quickly degenerates. Thi
if understood, will save our farmers man
disappointments, and will explain tn
reason Of some failures"

Ashes.

l'nleachcd wood ashc, contain large
amounts of potash, and exactly in that
condition most available To majority of
crops. When mixed with swamp-muck,
rivcr-mud wOods-carth, chip-manure,
hcad-lands, weeds etc, wood ashes assist
materially in their di>integration, and in
the development of their inorganic consti-
tucnts 10 Il condition capable of feeding
crops, but when mixed with stable manur-
es the decomposition i, too rapid to per-
nit the absorption of the Ammonia, by the
less valuable portions. When soils are
deficient of pota>h-and We have yet to
find the soil that is NORWOOD ashes may
be sown directly on the surface, and the
potash continued in them will find it, way
into the soil by the action of dews and
rains, aud as it is not volatile, the surface
Of the soil is the proper place for its de.
post. 1t is true that il may find its way
to the soil through compost, composed oil
otherwise inert materials; thus, spent tan
may be reduced to q fine powder, well
suited after such treatment for composing
with stable manures, which in turA will
be rendered in better condition for the
u-r of plants. Thus the potash performs
the double service first Of forwarding
the decomposition Of inert matter; and
secondly, of furnishing potash eventually
to the soil but it should never be brought
in contact before its application to the
soil, with manures of a highly 'putrescen
character, nor with artificial manures con
tanning ammonia in any form.
As a top-dressing for grape vines, WOOD
f ashes are very valuable,
The difference between leached and un
leached wood ashes is very great for thu
soap boiler not only abstracts all the
causte potash the ashes are capable o
r yielding by lixivation, but the compost
r with it caustic lime, so as to render al
y the carbonates capable Of rendering u
/ their alkalies; and thus leached ashe
t contain no potash for the use of the far
! mer. The chief value consists in a min
5 ute portion of phosphate of lime, mucl
? less than could be bOught for one-fftl
. the money directly in the form of potasl
phosphate Of lime Working Far.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT DID SAY

WHAT THE PRESIDENT DID SAY
A number of contradictions having
appeared as to what the President said
in regard to the Texas politicians, Data
puts the matter right in the following )
A gentleman from Texas, who has
been prominent friend and supporter
of Gen. Hamilton for governor in that
State, had lengthy interview with the
President in New York city last Sunday,
before his departure for Pennsylvania.
The President referred to the report of
his conversation with General Clark and
said there were several inaccuracies in
the printed correspondence, or that Gen.
Clark had Inexperienced his remarks.
He was reported to have said Gov
ernor Hamilton has gone over to the
rebels, but that is 10 reason WHY |
should when in fact, upon the assertion
Gen. Clark that Gen Hamilton had
gone over to the rebels, the President
said, If Hamilton does 60 over to the
enemies of the republican party, It's no
reason whyI should The President
was 10th to believe the detection Of Gov.
Hamilton from the republican ranks
Regarding the remark that as between
Throckmorton and Hamilton, he would
prefer the former, he explained that if
Hamilton had left the republican party
and was running as the candidate Of the
democrats, he would much rather zee a
straightout democract like Gov. Throck-
morton elected. He knew Gov. Throck-
morton and in late interview with that
gentleman had been very favorably i'm
pressed with the fair and just view be
took of Southern political affairs. The
above is the substance of the converse
ton, which is given to the public by
permission of the President.

Bs9H Thirty-seven workmen were dis
charged from the navy yard III Wash

were somewhat excited over the fact
that they are to be docked for time lost
on Thursday last. Work was suspend
ed on that day by order Of the Navy
Department fer the purpose of giving
the men an opportunity to attend TIE
funeral of the late Secretary Raw!ins,
and as token of respect to his memo
~. The men say that as they did not
request the holiday, and as they would
have preferred TO labor, they do not
think it just that they should lose their
days wages simply because they are
paid by the day, when nothing is deduct
ed from the clerks in. the departments,
who are paid by the month. The
clerks generally like such holidays, for
they lose nothing; but to employees in
government workshops it is a losing
business. Ii certainly would seem but
justice that when government orders a
holiday its employees should be paid
the same as though they lapored.
