The Agriculture of the Future.
From n. Y. Evening Post


There is curious and very radical article
in the December number of Frazier'S Mdgd-
zine upon farming. The writer's belief is
that in the time to come farm will be an
immense food factory carried on by acOmpa-
ny. The companies will be joint stock com
Germs, issuing shares of from $50 to $3.50
each, and working from 5000 to 10000 acres.
The buildings of the farm (srch is the sCheme)
must be placed on the highest point of land,
so that water and manure may be conveyed
over the surface by gravtation. Machinery
is among other services, to shear a sheep. A
whole staff of butchers will be employed to
kill and cut up bullocks and transmit the
meat in pieces suitable for the London mar
let straight to the salesman, without the in
tervenion of a dealer. The salesman will be
in the cOmpany's employ, and will only sell
their meat. The company will make an eff.
fort to get more than one crop in year But
the most surprising of the results which
await the future of farming Will be the ripen
ing of crops by means of an electric current
passed through the plants, or by some other
kind of artificial heat.
One point of which the writer makes much
is the impossibilty of profit in England from
the cultivation Of wheat Wheat is almost
the only agricultural product which has moi
risen since ITO. The only sort ofcorn which i.
much dearer now than then is barley, the rea
son being that barley is used in distilatior
and brewing In the last fifty years meat ant
dairy-produce have greatly risen in price
Yet wheat remains the same, notwithstanding
the rise in the price of labor and the increase
in the price ofrents. No increase of demand
has any important effect upon the price o
corn A rise in wheat will at once bring any
quantity of it to England, The importation
Of wheat by England in 1859 was 100000
quarters, or 100000. In 1871 the importa
ton was nearly 100000 quarters. Yet thu
| price of wheat in 1871 was lower than in 1860
| 1t is very plain, says the writer in Fraser
that wheat cultivation can no longer be pro
| titable, and it would be better to use the lane
thus occupied to raise produce, which mus
be imported to England at loss. One o
the difficulties which the farmer must meet i
to find some green produce which will TAX
the place of wheat in the rotation of crops
This OBJ stacle the author of the article think
a serious one.

applications is the preservation of meat from
decay Natural history specimens and
anatomical preparations can be KEEP, in
glyccrine instead of alcohol. Wood impreg-
mated or washed with glycerine does not warp
or dry up, and advantage is taken of this tact
to keep butter-tubs, water-pails, barrels and
tanks from shrinking, In fact, It's uses are
almost endless but enough examples have
been given to show upon what principe the
applications are founded, and it is easy for an
intelligent person to imagine new uses in
cases of emergency.

A good authority on the culture of peanuts
saws: select soil which is fertile with
sandy loan; plant about the usual time of
planting corn; remove the husk from the
seed before planting. Plant two seeds in a

apart and one foot apart IN the rows; keep
the ground mellow and free from weeds. Some

said had right to vote at the meeting as he was not
