Putting on Manure,

s. j. Woolley, writes to the German
town Telegraph from Ohio:
1t is customary with farmers at this
season of the year to haul out their
manure and spread it over their grass
land. This practice is not much better
than throwing it away; the scorching
rays of the August and September sun
will dry it up and the heated air at night
will absorb it, until there is but little
left.
put on twenty loads of BARNARD
manure to the acre last August, and by
October | could scarcely see any of it..
And when | cut the meadow where |
put the manure, it was not much hcav-
Ter than where | put none.
The best use that can be made of
manure at this season of the year, is to
put it on wheat-land. Spread it evenly
over the land after it is plowed and har-
row it Immediately. If you put it on
the land before it is plowed it will be
covered so deep that the wheat-roots
will scarcely reach it before Spring
The best time to haul out manure is in
the Winter or early Spring. 1t can
either be spread on corn, wheat or grass
land with great benefit. There is then
no scorching sun or heated air to take
it up, while the freezing and thawing
and washing will incorporate it in the
soil, so that the crop will receive the
full benefit of it,

THE Eartt+
Sowing Winter Wheat.
From the american Agrieultursst.

From the american Agrieultur,st.
Comparatively little can now be done
in preparing land properly for wheat
The work should have been done earlier.
AS rule, it would be better not to sow
wheat at all than to sow on land that
is too wet, too poor, and too foul topro-
duce fair crop.
We spendlab enough in many cases
in preparing our land for wheat, but
rarely give TINE enough. To pillow
twice in two or three weeks, and harrow
and roll until the land is as mellow as
a garden is not the way to secure a
good whea. crop. The same amount of
labor expended over longer period
would produce far better results.
In England, great crops of wheat are
raised by turning over clover sod and
drilling in the wheat as fast as the land
is plowed. We could do the same thing
here, provided our land was in as high
condition and the season was wet enough
to insure the termination of the seed
and the growth of the young plants:
We SOW a month earlier than they
do in England, and it often happens that
the land is so dry and hard at this sea-
son that we should find it difficult to
turn over the clover sod. In eXcep-
tional seasons we have known good
crop of wheat grown on clover sod
not plowed until the middle of Septem.
Der, and sown at once on the furrow and
narrowed in. But the plan will not do
here as rule.
Wheat after Spring crops is now far
more common than formerly. We adopt
this system on our own farm, and there
fore cannot condemn it; and yet we are
satisfied that many farmers would do
well to abandon the practice.
The great aim of the wheat grower
must be to get vigorous, healthy plant
in the autumn. He must endeavor to
secure this by having rich, moist, and
mellow land rather than by early sowing.
If we sow too early we run great
risk of having the crop injured by the
Hessian fly.
On our own farm we aim to sow from
the 5th to the 18th of September. If
the land is in prime order we prefer to
sow not earlier than the 18th.
Two bushels per acre is our rule, and
we do not find it too much, though many
good farmers think IL bushels enough.
Drilling is better than sowing broad
cast. 1t deposits the seed more evenly
and deposits it in the moist earth.
The depth of sowing is regulated by
the character of the soil. 1t would be
well not to cover the seed more than an
inch deep; but if this does not reach
the moist earth.the drill must he set to
SOW deeper 1t is very important to
put the seed where it will terminate in
few days.
Where smut is common the seed
should be washed in some preparation
to kill the spores of smut before SOW
ing. Moistening the grain with fer
mented chamber-lye and drying it with
lime is an old remedy, and if properly
done is effectual.
Manuring for wheat is less common
than it should be. A little rich, we'll
rotted manure spread on the surface
before or after the seed is sown often
has a wonderful effect.
Salt on rich land frequently proves a
good fertilizer for wheat. Sow from
two to five bushels per acre broadcast
before putting in the wheat.

The social and political economy of the
world consists Of general balance of
conflicting interests, and any one inter
est that is not active in maintaining its
own position must necessarily suffer-
The farmers have been for long years
quite inactive, while adverse interests
have been building up themselves at
their expense. This is now changing,
and it is only reasonable and proper
that they should restore their last bal
ance, and having gained their righteous
position in public and business affairs
that they should hold it securely by
being always prepared to strive for it.
Their work is already being crowned
with success.

Every Manufacturer encouraged in our
Country, makes part of Market for

SO much Money to the Country as must
otherwise be exported to pay for the
Manufactures he supplies. Here in
England it is wellknown and under
stood, that wherever a Manufacture is
established which employs Number Of
Hands, it raises The Value of Lands in
the neighboring Country all around it
partly by the greater Demand near at

partly from the Plenty of Money drawn

THE Work OF THE GRANGEs-The
organization of the farmers is already
fruitful. AS might have been expected,
the united power of the largest interest
of the nation is irresistible. Already
the moral influence of the farmers
movement has given motion to railroad
reform. Reductions in freight and pas
senger fares have already been made on
some of the long lines in the Vest
The impetus given will not suddenly
stop, nor will it be exhausted until
every legitimate advantage that may

The Rate of Interest.

A communication which appears in ycster.
days Wing says:
"Your ncighbor, the Dispatch, is rampant
for high rate Of interest, and brings forth
whatever he can rake and Scrape, from what.
ever quarter, 10 sustain him in his position
never seeming to suppose Tor Il moment that
very large majority of farmers and plant
ers are of Il different opinion"
On the contrary, the Dispatch is in favor of
the lowest rates of interest, and, in common
with almost all political economists, teaches
that the best plan to secure low rate is to
allow borrowers and lenders to fix the rate
for themselves. If "a large majority of
farmers and planters" differ with us in opin.
ion, it is some satisfaction to Us to know that
large majority Of inanciers and Of bust
ness men Of all sorts in the cities, whether
borrowers or lenders, agree with us in opin-
ion.
We hold that we are advocating the inter-
ests Of the farmers and planters when we
oppose the enactment of usury laws. The
prices of the products Of the land of Vir-
ginia may be regulated by the prices of the
land may thus be controlled somewhat, as it
doubtless is, by the prices OF such products.
But, let these prices be low or high, there
will be rise IN the price of lands in proper.
ton to the quantity Of personal property in
the State, including money. This point was
very well brougbt'out by Mr.. DooLEY in his
speech on the usury bill in the House of
Delegates. Those, therefore, who expel
capital from the State do thus keep down
the price of lands.
The money which brings ten per cent. per
annum is not locked up from the planter.
1t is borrowed by merchants and mauufac-
turers, and Is used, much of it, in paying for
the products Of the land. To eXpel it from
Virginia is to expel the means wherewith the
tobacco and wheat Of the country people are
purchased. II q commission merchant bor-
rows hundred thousand dollars ut ten per
cent. per annum hc does SO that he may the
better accommodate his country patrons.
He does not eat it up or destroy it. So as to
all traders and business men In the cities
They are constantly working for the benefit
OF the farmer and planter in working for
their own benefit. The country is dependent
upon the cities for market the cities upon
the country for its products. There is no
conflict of interests. We are the sincere ad.
vocate of the interests CT both city and
country.
