ENGLISH FARMING Mr.. Wall, IN an
address to the farmers of New Jersey, al
luded to the fourishiDg state Of agricul-
ture in England He pointed out that
in less than century the production OF
wheat had risen from 100000 to 100,
100000 Of bushels This enormous in
crease he attributes to the systematic at
teation to all the requirements of coed
farming in the skill and eXactness with
which all the operations are performed i
to their careful selection of the best va
rieties of seed, and to the extensive and
prudent use of their barn yard manure.
Nothing is left to casualty or chance. No
expectations are INDUCED in that the
bounty of Providence, by an unusually
favorable season, will atone for their
short comings OR neglect. He dilated
upon the extraordinary liberality of Eng
lish farmers, in restoring to the earth, by
means of purchased manures,all those ee-
ments Of fertility which are exhausted by
cultivation. It is. estimated by chemical
analysis that wheat absorbs forty per
cent of nutriment contained in the soil.
In 1887, the first year in which bones came
Into general use as fertilizer, the foreign
bones imported were valued at the custom
house at 100000 dollars, since which
time it is estimated that the amount paid
for imported bones alone, amounted to
100000 dollars. Since 1841, upwards
OF 100000 tons of guano have been
used. Mr.. Wall also believed that moth
ing more perfect than rural economy than
the English farmers rotation Of root and
grain crops. He considered that the care
which had been bestowed on root cultiva-
tion had been the salvation of England.
The Monthly Report Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture contains the follow
ing
ut is well known that sows not untre
quently attack and deVOur their own
young; or if prevented from this, will
not let down their milk, 80 that the young
pigs necessarily die for want of nourish'
ment. When this condition Of things is
not cauged by diseased condition Of the
uterus it is said that the SOW can be
brought to terms by pouring mixture oi
ten to twenty grains of spirits OF cam
phor with one to three OF tincture OF OPT,
um, into the ear. The SOW wilt immcdi
diately lie down on the side of the ear &c
which the application was made, and re
main quiet for several hours in this pos
ton without interfering with her pigs
and on recovery from the stupor viii
have lost her irritability in regard tC
them. The experiment has been tried il
Germany hundreds of times, according t.
one Of the agricultural journals, withou
any injurious effects. 1t is also said tina
the eating of pigs by the parent BOW Cal
be readily prevented by rubbing then
all over with brandy, and making til
same application about the nose OF tn
SOW herself.
