Top-Dressinn lMeatIo,cs.

The results Of single top-dressiug on
eight plots of nearly half an acre each OF
sandy warm soil Of our State Ayr. Co..
lege Farm, exhibited the following facts
at the end of three yeas: The top
dressing was applied in 1861. and the
grass was cut twice each season in 1861
and 10, and once in 1866. The produce
Of each cutting and Of each lot was
weighed separate aud aperfect record kept.
The results for the four seasons were as
follows On the plot to which no manure
or fertilizer was applied, the total weight
of hay yielded per acre was $40 lbs
Where two bushels of plaster per acre
were applied the yield per acre was 49,
226 lbs, gain of 44S4 lbs. Where >
bushels of wood ashes were applied the
yield per acre was l2,907 lbs, gain OF
4l65 lbs. Where three bushels of salt
were sown per acre the yield was 1860
lbs, gain pe- acre of 522I lbs. Where
20 loads of muck per acre were laid on
the yield per acre was 1867 lbs. 4 gain
of 5074 lbs. Where 20 loads of horse
manure was laid on the yield was l4,6S6
lbs, a gain of 6224 lbs. These are re-
suits which indicate that there are ferti-
lizers whiah will produce as good results
as plaster. For instance, the plaster
yielded gain of 81 per cent, while the
horse manure gave an increase Of IL per
cent, or nearly ton more grass per acre
in the three years.-Michigaa Farmer.

The Oiipe-Tree.

The common olive Is one Of the earliest
trees mentioned in antiquity; probably i,
vas a native Of Palestine, and perhaps
Of Greece, and it was introduced into
other countries at very eaI y day; it is
largely cultivated in southern Europe
western Asia, and northern Africa it was
brought 10 South America and Mexico
more than two hundred years ago, and in
various parts Of California it was planted
At the mission establishments, where some
Of the old groves still remain, notably that
Of San Diego, which is still in good bear
ing, and other plantations have recently
been made there. In the Atlantic States
the olive was introduced before the Revo-
luton, and at several times since it is
perfectly hardy and fruitful in South
Carolina; the chief obstacle 10 its Guilt
walton seems to be the fact that its crop
natures just at the time when all the Ia
Dor Is needed TO secure the Gotten. The
French enumerate over twenty varieties,
differing IN the size and color of their
leaves and fruit. Olive-oil is obtained
from the ripe fruit, the pulp of which con-
tains about 40 Per cent. of oil. Italy
produces annually about 100000 gal
Ions, while tue production Of France Is
only about ! 900, OOO.-APpltfO1ls' diner

Strawberries and old Fruit.

The Rural New Yorker says that four.
fifths of all the strawberries coming into
New York market are Wilson's, although
over two hundred new sorts have been
introduced since this old favorite vas
first brought to notice; and every one Of
these two hundred newer sorts were
claimed at the time Of their introduction
TO be superior to the Wilson. And yet
the Wilson has been more denounced as a
poor berry than all the rest put together.
As counterpart of this. there are more
than two thousand sorts Of apples describ-
ed in the books, nearly all Of which have
been introduced since the Baldwin and
Rhode Island Greening, and yet neither
Of these old sorts has been replaced by
any of this great multitude. Again, there
is pear, century old. long known in
England as Williams Bonehretein. and by
the French as Poire Guillalaume, the
Bartlett Of this country, which still
stands at the head for popularity among
pears, although over thousand newer
sorts have since appeared.
