MANURES.-Dr. Nuclcker says, in IN
English journal, that If q farmer wishes to
lay ont money To the greatest advantage
in the purchase Of artificial manures, he
should discard the recommendations Of
competing manufacturers he should en-
dcayor to procure ut the cheapest rate
and in a separate form all the various fer
tilizing substances which are best adapted
TO particular crop on given soil, and to
prepare himselfth several mixtures which
are sold under various names at much
higher price than that at which hO can
make them. The Milne Farmer indor-
sos the doctrine Of this eminent authority
and expresses the opinion that the plan
proposed is perfectly feasible one, and

while the stock of cattle cannot easily

the farmer to consider whether he had

soiling, or perhaps better of buying
extra feeding stuffs in the shape of lin
seed or cotton seed meal and feeding

The advantage Of this would be to in.

the stock along with less injury to the
pastures, the natural consequence Of
over-stocking while the value Of the ma.
nure would DO considerably greater.
Furthermore, the freer usc Of artificial
manures on pastures and the use of
feeding stulls for stock while ut grass
will rapidly improve the farm.
