Some interesting facts in reference to the
question Of top-dressing, may be obtained from
the following correspondence appearing in the
Country Gentleman. The matter is a very
important one, and needs investigation, as DC
one disputes that the question Of how and when
to spply fertilizers to meadows will, Of necessity
force itself more and more upon the attention Of
the farming community.
Twenty-six years ago had piece Of ground
that was in potatoes the previous year, which |
wished to get into permanent grass. The land
was sown 10 oats, narrowed until made perfectly
smooth, and grass seed, timothy and clover,
sown at the rate Of twelve quarts TO the acre.
The grass seed look well, and the following
year fine crop Of hay was taken from the
ground. The spring Of 1913 was the last time
that piece of ground has been powed yet | do
not know but as heavy and clean a crop was
taken from it in 1869 the very fine one Of 1874.
This piece Of land has been kept in condition by
top-dresslng, with an occasional coast of plaster
at the rate of a bushel an acre
When and how shall we top-dress, Manure
or compost may be successfully applied to land
1t any time from the taking OF the crop until
the following May. The sooner, however, it is
done after the crop Is taken off the better for
the lad, as the fall rains settle it around and
over the grass roots, thus protecting them from
the hot rays Of the sun and the cold of winter,
as well as furnishing nutriment or food Our
custom in top-dressng is to spread as drawn
out. 1t requires little more time to spread from
the wagon or cart than it does to throw it into
heaps, to be spread in the uncertain future, and
and the manure can be laid much more evenly
from the cart than from the pile. use great
care after spreading to knock all Jumps to
pieces, for the finer the material can be made
the earlier and better the effects, and the less
it comes in the way Of the mower or the rake
| nave seen top-dressed fields covered with hard,
sun dried Jumps of manure. giving the surface
an uneven and unsightly appearance, and have
seen the mower and horse-rake jump and bound
over these artificial deformities, and have heard
the owners of land so used, say they could not
see much benefit in top-dressing.

pie disposeds to take gloomy view Of things
but there Is one cause for complaint shch should
be remeled if possible We refer to the dis.
elimination Of the Cunard Steamship Company
in making their charges on freight from Liver
pool TO Boston so much in excess Of what is
required when goods are carried to New York
by the sane steamers This will be manifest
by taking as an example the experience of a
leading lry-goods house of this city, who had a
lot Of valuable goods on board the Samarfa on
her recent voyage to this port. The freight
charge on these goods Was sixty shilliugs per ton
to Boston, or thirty shillings if they were landed
in New York, showing a difference Of lust one
half IN favor Of the latter. Instead, therefore.
of landing the goods here, they were retained on
the steamer and carried to New York, whence
they will be returned to this city The reason of
freight being charged more to Boston Is owing to
the fact that here there is no steamship compe-
ttion. while in New York this state Of things is
reversed in consequence of the existence of many
competing lines there. This Illustration strongly
shows the great need Of increased steam commu-
nication between this port and Egrope.-Bostoa
