physician, to drug his port wine with
this nauseous and bulky remedy ; but
medical and chemical science discovered
that the curative principle of this bark
consisted of the quinine to be extracted
from it, and the useless woody fibre is
now dispensed with. Agricultural chem
istry has discovered that the large part
of the bulky and useless portions of
barnyard manure may be dispensed
with, and the fertilizing value is there
by reduced to few chemical elements
which furnish food for plants or produce
soluble action in certain ingredients of
the common soil. Guano, bone dust,
phosphate Of lime and gypsum, consti-
tute important representatives of the
fertilizing qualities needed, and when
we reflect that but one-fortieth the
weight of even the much valued horse
manure, when reduced to fertilizing
matter, we are irresistibly driven to
the belief that corresponding reform
in fertilizing land is as necessary in
agriculture as the introduction of minute
doses of quinine to cure the fever, in
stead of filing the patients stomach
with bushels of Peruvian bark If
science was permitted to do for farming
what it has done for manufacturing
and other occupations in this common
wealth. our lands would double in value
and in products.

Lime, Plaster, and Home Manures.

We depend on fertilizers which we
can hardly get, aud neglect the cheaper
and better supplies that are always
"ri;t.nin our reach. Lime is the great
and efficient agent in good husbandry,
and the losses in fertility of soils is
attributable to it's absence; for without
it, in some form, our lands are compare
lively of little value. With plaster or
gypsum for our clover, what degree Of
fertility can we not attain The wheat
crop, one of our main resources, is almost
sure on good clover fallow, independent
of all other aids to the soil; and i'm
provement in this way is as easy and
comprehensive as it is cheap and
efficient. The same may be said of a
good PEA FALLow, using from one and
a half to two bushels to the acre, turned
in in a green state; and results are
obtained in less time even than when
clover is used.
Our farmers should also be reminded
as they often are, of the waste and
negligence in regard to manures of every
description. In some instances banks
ofbarn-yard and stable dung are exposed
to all weather, and their valuable pro-
perties carried to other localities and
lost. The sweepings of yards, contents
of privies, and pig-pens, ashes, soap
suds, kitchen and chamber Stops are
generally lost, or remain as nuisance,
producing bad odors, flies and diseases.
Lime is necessary, nay an indispensa-
BILE food for all useful plants, without
which their natural health cannot be
maintained, nor their functions duly
discharged The quantity to be applied
may vary according to the nature and
condition of the soil-some lands con-
tanning a natural supply sufficient for
ordinary cropping; but, as a general
thing, most soils require it's use in
quantities more or less. On stiff clay,
land to obtain its full extent, both
mechanically and chemically, the bene-
fetal effects of lime, larger quantity
than what is given to light soils ought
to be applied Lime has the singular
property of correcting by pulverization
stiff clayey soils, and of closing or COM
pacting those that are sandy and light
In either case, however, it is to a great
extent imperative, unless the soil con-
tains Vegetable matters producing humus
and medium proper for its reception
and efficient action

WHEAT WITHOUT MANURE.
From the american Agriculturist.

From the american Agriculturist.
Our readers have been frequently
advised of what has been done by Mr..
Lawes, of England, in the way of rails
ing repeated crops of grain upon the
same land year after year, both with
and without manure But Mr. Lawes'
labors have been experimental. We
have now before US a report of the
sales of the standing crops of wheat,
oats and clover upon two farms in Eng
land, upon which these crops have been
raised successfully for dozen years,
and sold standing, to be cut and carted
away by the purchasers, both straw and
grain together No stock is kept upon
these farms No manure is used upon
them. Deep blowing by steam, and
draining to further deepen the soil, are
the only means by which these crops
are produced year after year. One of
these farms is owned and cultivated by
Mr. Prout, of Sawbridgeworth, and con-
sists of $50 acres. The present sea-
sons crop was chiefly wheat, which,
sold by the acre as it stood, realized
from s45 to $50 per acre, for grain and
straw The purchaser, in all cases,
does the harvesting. The average
prices were, for wheat, $54.40 per acre;
oats, $40 per acre; and clover, $50 per
acre. The whole proceeds of the $50
acres were 1913, l41, an average of $53.-
80 per acre. The average result of the
past seven years crops has been $5l.25
per acre. The farm was purchased
twelve years ago, and was then in poor
condition. 1t was drained, and $4,000
worth of chemical fertilizers were used,
to bring it into producing state
Since then it has been cultivated deeply
by steam each year, but no fertilizers
have been used, nor has the straw even
been retained upon the farm. The
other farm is owned by Mr.. Middle
ditch, of Wiltshire 1t has been man.
aged upon the same plan. The crops
upon this fam brought from $lS to $50
per acre, OF an average of $50. The
aftermath of some fields of sanfoin,
which were to be pastured by sheep,
sold for $40 to SIS per acre. There
are 500 acres in this farm. Both farms
have clay soil, and are fairly good
wheat lands, but st the commencement
of this groupings were much run down.
The farmers who purchased the crops,
and some who had taken them for sew
eral years, said that those of the pres
ent year were the best crops for several
years, and Mr. Prout expressed the
opinion that he conld thus farm Gas
long as be lived, and his son after him."
We do not pretend to make any appli-
cation of this anomalous kind of farm
ing, but merely give the facts. At the
same time we cannot refrain from COM
pairing it with some farms we have seen
in the rich valleys of Ohio and west
ward, where for twenty years the merest
scratching of the deep, rich soil, and
the raising of wheat upon the unplowed
corn-stubble, year after year, has made
farmers comfortable, if not rich, and
thinking at the same time, that it is
possible, if those rich lands were better
treated, and farmed more with the pillow,
and less with the harrow, that they
might produce better crops than they
now do, and remain profitable to their
owners for an indefinite number of years
to come.

Advantages Of Concentrated Manures.

The editor of the MASSACHUSETTS
PLoUGHMAN says: One of the advan-
tages of the use of concentrated fertili-
zers is that they are free from the seeds
of innumerable weeds, with which our
stable manures are usually filed, and,
though we would not recommend the
indiscrimnate use of these substances
as substitutes for barnyard manure,
there is no question that if they can be
got pure and honestly made, this free
dom from vile seeds is worth careful
consideration. A judicious, practical
farmer puts it in this way: "Twenty
loads of barn-yard manure" says he
''is worth $40, and costs the farmers
perhaps twice that sum in the consump-
ton of hay by the necessary number of
cattle, over and about their winter pro-
duct of milk, even if the cattle are not
dry during that season These twenty
loads, worth $40, will fertlize but an
acre of land, while half that sum will
furnish manufactured fertilizer of
equal potency, the labor of applying
which will save at least five dollars
more. The freedom from wild carrots,
dock, Canada thistles, and other nox-
ious weeds, is further consideration
in favor of this concentrated manure
over the crude article of the barn-yard.
Calico printers for many years used
the solid excrement of the COW to brighten
and fasten colors in cotton cloth. Some
latent quality was ascribed to the liv-
ing animal, till it was discovered that
mixture of phosphate of soda and
some other chemical salt answered the
same purpose, and was more clearly,
economical and convenient in applica-
ton. Peruvian bark, for many CEN
turtles, was regarded as the only cure
for fever, and the poor patient was CON-

SHADE AND Observation-Disclosures
are not unfrequently committed by
planting first class trees in narrow
streets, and small sized trees along
broad avenues. After the trees have
grown the error becomes apparent, but,
alas, too late to be remedied. We have
two species in our minds eye that we
should like to recommend for broad
avenue planting, and as they are both
natives of our soil, so much the better.
The first of these, the Cucumber
Tree of the West, or to speak botani-
cally, MAGNOLIA AcUMINATA, forms a
tree of largest size, grows rapidly, flow
ers profusely, is quiet free from injur-
ious insects or diseases, presents a reg
ular outline, and has handsome bark
and foliage. What more can any one
desire?
The second candidate is one known
to us all, the Tulip tree, I1RIoDENDRoN
TULIpIFERA,) or as some people persist
in terming it, although enormously, the
yellow Poplar" This also makes a
tree of the largest size, and might add,
all the qualities enumerated above, as
the two are very closely related, and
both belonging to the magnolia family.
We cannot recommend them for small
streets, or even for those of medium
width, as their large proportions would
inevitably stamp them so out of place
in such positions, but for the broad
avenues, they cannot be excelled.

MAKING FARMING A BUSINESS
THE RURAL New YORKER likes to
quote the sayings of sensible men,
Such man must George r. Drew,
Vermont farmer, be, for he is reported
as saying, at farmers festival -
-" Farming can be made more pleasant
by making business of it, and not be
attending to too many other things at
the same time. And then by not over
working. l think there has been an
improvement in this respect, but there
is need of more still l have said that
| would not take the gift of farm and
be obliged to work as did when boy.
l now see the policy of giving children
and young folks great deal of recrea-
ton. | am very sure that more work
can be done in long run by working
ten hours day than by being actively
engaged for fourteen hours Also, we
should not be too much confined at
home. We should go away OCCASION
ally, and many times we might learn
enough to make up for our lost time"

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents tho forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so IN
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
iastre, and grateful perfume.
