Wool Growing a success.

We were asked why wool growers do
not fail as other business men sometimes
do. We answer, simply because the
growth of the wool and the increase is
as perpetual as the times in which they
live. 1t matters not how dark the night
is, the wool continues to grow, and it
matters not how the wind blows or how
it may storm, CESSATION is never longer
than $50 days. The lambs will average
one-half females, and often twins, and
they breed the next year, making dou-
bic compounds perpetual growth and
no loss. Everything that does not 90
into market goes back to enrich the pas
ture; and though the landlord may be
sick it does not stop the growth of the
lambs. Not so with other business. The
mechanic or the man who works for
salary has nothing to grow while he
sleeps when his labor ceases his income
stops, and his expenses are perpetual.
1t is true there are perpetual expenses
attending the sheep or goat business
but under the most unfavorable circum-

stances, where they can live on the com
mons without feeding, the meat OF the
wethers will pay all expenses without
drawing on the wool or increase OF the
ewes. Hence it is like perpetual flow
into basin it is only question of time
about filing it to overlooking, The
drawback seems to be that men do not
relish living away from thickly popul!at-
ed settlements and towns, deprivlng
themselves of society for the sake OF
money. This objection can be obviated.
In all new countries there are villages
constantly springing up, near which iG
gsod sheep range can be had, where the
owner can visit his tlocks daily, and also
give his family the benefit of schools and
society.-Facts and Figures.

w. NGechi ON Poultry.

John Mechi says in the Gardeners
Monthly: Poultry is evidently dear
food to the consumer; but does il cost
more food to produce pound of poultry
than pound of meat I? | answer deci-
dedly not, but the reverse. For nv cat
tie and sheep don't eat worms and in
sects, whereas fowls consume them
abundantly, and economize and apply
every scattered seed or kernel that would
otherwise be wasted. In another point
of view, is the cost of attendance and
shelter greater with poultry than with
cattle reply not. As to the produc-
ton of eggs, that depends upon the
quality of food administered and the
accompaniment of proper warmth and
shelter There is no fear of livestock

Manure for Fruit frees.


1t is clear that animal manufes are not
what is wanted for fruit trees, including
grape vines, berries, etc. There may be
a benefit, and usually Is, at first, but the
quality of the fruit will suffer, and the
wood and foliage are not of that heal
thy character which is desired This
has been noticed by Liebig and others
We have known prolific grape vines to
bear more fruit, but at an expense of
quality, where the contents of the priYy
were freely used for manuring. We
have always found the best success when
leaves, the weddings of the garden, chip
manure, and forest mold, either singly
or combined, have been freely applied
These seem to contain the different ma
terials, in proper proportions, that is,
the organic, the carbonaceous, and the
heterogeneous the mineral needs to be
supplied, and nothing does this so salts
factorily as wood ashes. 1t supplies
largely potash, which is needed.
The best success-and it has been
fully achieved-which we ever attained,
was by applying coat of leaves In the
fall, worked into the soil in the spring,
followed by weddings from the garden,
clippings of the vine with other vegeta-
bic refuse, as a mulch, sprinkled over
with wood ashes, leached or unleached
if the latter, more were required. This
made healthy, not excessive growth,
and increased both the quality and guam
tity OF the fruit. 1t makes sounder
and better keeping fruit. This with a
variety of soils, but particularly clay
soils. There should be good drainage
and exposure to air, or else, with a
green mulch kept moist by the ashes
there might be too much humidity. For
grapes this will not do. Nor will it for
fruit trees if there is close, heavy top
reaching well down, holding thus the
moisture which evaporates, and inviting
parasitic Judgments, which will appear
in masses, mildeW, rusted fruit, etc.
Herbaceous material and ashes, with oc-
casional bone dust, we have found the
best application for fruit trees in gene
raj, for berries, and for the grape. APP
ply yearly where the soil is not rich !;
and in the spring, when the ground is
dry enough, spade it well. Use sparing-
ly, if any, the strong, nitrogenous ma
nure. F. c.

Boiled Corn for Hogs.

Editor Massachusetts, PL0ughmGH AT
the last meeting of the Bedford Club,
there was a general desire to consider
the subject OF the best varieties of pOta-
toes and the best methods for their Gull
tivation. One member stated that last
spring he planted one patch of Early
Rose potatoes on the 9th of April, and
early in July he sold handsome new
potatoes in Haverhill and Georgetown,
at three dollars a bushel. When the
potatoes We're nearly grown, he planted
new rows between the growing ones, so
that when he had harvested the first crop
he had another coming on. These late
planted potatoes matured in the autumn.
quite to the growers satisfaction. His
method of planting is to plough in the
fall, plough in manure in the spring;
dung literally of horse manure and
superphosphate of lime and plant one
eye in place and one foot apart.
On inquiry it appeared that there was
a general agreement that potatoes had
been too highly seeded, and that the one
eye system is an Improvement, as it is
systematic and ensures a good average
seeding throughout the drills. And to
plant in drills is better than in hills. To
make this point plain, let it be consid
cred that dump carts, or manure carts,
have wheels placed sixty inches apart !;
now if the drills are made thirty inches
apart, when we come to manure in the
drill, the horse will tread in one drill
and the wheels of the cart will each be
in a drill, and the work can go on rapidly
and neatly. There are now excellent
machines for covering and cultivatlng,
and harvesting potatoes, so that this
branch of farming can be expeditiously
performed.
There was a short crop of sound pota-
toes N Europe last year; and the crop
generally in the eastern States was rath-
er less than an average, so that the price
rules high. And now it appears that the
uncommon severity of the winter at the
West has frozen to large extent the
potatoes in the cellars of their growers,
so that demand begins to be made for
prime potatoes for seed to supply west
ern farmers S.
