It is not often that bones can be COL
lected on the farm in sufficient quantity
for field crops, but every man who has
a garden can make q little excellent
manure by gthose within hisreach.
It is useless to recommend converting
them into home-made =sunerphosphate
by using sulphuric acid; the difficulty
and trouble Of procuring the acid away
from cities, and the care and experience
required to use it, are sufficient objec-
TONS. There are, however, two modes
of reducing the bones, which every gar
dener may easily adopt: One is to
place them in thin layers in ferment-
ing heap of manure, which, if they are
previously broken, will soften them
enough to cause crumbling after the
lapse of weeks, when the heap is worked
over. Even a common hot-bed will do,
if the bones are first broken into frag-
ments. The other mode is to boil them,
as follows: Mix them in large kettle
with wood ashes, and to make the ashes
caustic add about peck of fresh lime
to each barrel of bones. Saturate and
apply heat for twenty-four hours, or
during the day for two successive days.
All the bones by this time, except the
very hardest parts, will be 30 reduced
as to be easily pulverized, being in q
pasty condition, suitable for placing in
layers in making the compost heap.
Another days boiling will reduce the
remainder of the hard bones.

meeting with interruption. The re-
ceipts during the week lave been
somewhat largcr than heretofore, aud
more iutfnronrnts were made to bny-
ers in the way of lots Of size, but the
market has had to carry the burden of
the decline of spirits turpentine and

THE AMERICAN FARMER for March is

THE AMERICAN FARMER for March is
received with great variety of articles
of the most practical value. No branch
Of culture but has full space accorded it.
Field Crops. Orchard Products, Small
Fruits, the Dairy and Live Stock suited
for it, the Poultry Yard, the Vegetable
Garden, tie Lawn, the Flower Garden
and the Green House each have depart
ment web filled and by the ablest hands.
There il besides, much miscellaneous
matter IN which every memoer of the
family circle will find something inter-
esting and instructive.
The National Platform Of the Oranges
is also given in this number.
We risk nothing in recommending the
Fasmer to our farmer friends as n reliable
and advanced paper devoted to their in
terests. We believe not one of them hut
would be benefited by its companionship
for year.

dug two feet apart, and placed the
squares strawberry roots in them, at a
distance of eighteen inches from each

least, and the crop was excellent. I had
the trenches that were made in the old
bed filed with one part of well-rotted
manure and two parts of stiff loan, and
tile bed was soon covered with plants.
Thus, by degrees, you can renew the old
bed ms well as from new ones. Certainly

Fertilizers -Manures.

Our opinion has been asked about the
best manurcs and fertilizers. We have
had personal experience Of but one
year in the use of cottonssec1 meal, and
rs single article, for all purposes, we
give no other preference among COM
mercial manure or fertilizers. We know
that cotton seed has shown its effects as q
manure for some ten years, and we be.
lieve the same quantity of cotton seed
meal will bring equal results. We have
been urging this for the past three years
this the fourth. Although we had
cautioned others, and perhaps all we had
talked or written to, yet we we're caught
Last season we had land prepared (ra-
ther late before wo could be ready, and
directed our white employees not to drop
cotton seed meal OH or near enough to
potatoes TO heat, yet from that aud other
causes there was a failure. A friend who
procured apurcel though us was cautioned
and he lost his FIRST planting, but second
CIOl Ou sulHc l;tnu,, A1ttuC.
Our use Of such articles was to drill in
manure by q machine some five to ,en
days before planting anything. Then
the planting caused mixing of Garth
and manure, besides week lying in the
earth and covered had given time for
some fermentation at least. Our potato
failure gave Els three tons by weight OF
excellent crabgrass hay, and perhaps the
acre (about) paid us we'll; at least it was
alesson that did not cost much money,
for the seed, manure and labor did not
cost what the hay sold for. We believe
that the meal 600 pounds per acre as
nearly as we could tell by weight and
calcnlatiom has paid for itself. and as
much more, besides there is large resi-
due in the earth for the ensuing crop.
We urge upon every grange in oul
country to test at least one acre, say 20C
pounds per acre. 1t would be better to
test accurately 100, 200, 500 pounds per
acre, and be able to say the yield of cash
and if til" crop is h,niftcd, say 81 so pei
mere for 100 pounds, double for 20C
pounds, and so on. Cotton-s cd mca
obght not to leave our country; our South
needs it nll for stock and land. We
think no man con afford to sell cotton
