: eeneral Farm Management.

This was the title of an able and in
tcresting paper read by Eli Stilson, Esq.
Of Oshkosh. at the meeting at Madison.
fhc speaker said !: How to manage a
farm successfully, how, when and where
to do the work, embrace everything ia
practical and scientific agriculture. Can
a farm be SO managed as to produce good
crops and still not have the soil exhaust
ed England has answered the question
IN the affirmative. Here and there in
this country farmers are striving to do
ss well. Most farmers, however, are
very far from reaching the point where
their farms do not diminish in yiela.-
There are heights and depths yet ua-
explored. We can analyze ae grains Of
wheat and corn, and tell of what they
are composed tut We cannt put the
elementary part back again aud restore
he grains. By the Investigations of
Lieblg and others, men come to expecs
roo much from the chemis What they
had done, however, had been productive
OF great good. They have shown what
certain plants tske away from the soil,
aud have demonstrated what must be
returned to the soil in order to keep up
its fertility. This of itself was enough
to put farmers on their guard not to
raise certain crops in succession, unless
an amount of the right sort of manure
was returned to the soil to make up for
the elements Of plant food that has been
taken away. A farmer should know
than an acre of hops annually consumes
as much nitrogen as is contained in a ton
of the best Peruvian guano A farmer
should also know what gross feeders of

the deeds of he German warriors with
SO much gusto and humor that be soon

course, every body wanted to know The

themselves, but their claims were sooa

are rich in saline ma tier, ana in their de-
cay make fertil izer Of the first qua lily.
Next to leaf mould We like well 70 tied
sods from an old pasture, or from the
sde of the road. Muck well rotted and
mixed with the fine sand OF the highway
makes good bed for flowers. The fue
alluyial soil from some river side makes
a good flower bed TIL is generally con-
tains a great variety OF decomposed and
trliurated rocks, which are the foundation
of all soils. Sometimes it is too sandy

finds that the best side of the building
