Manure Making.

A months experience on our
own place, says the Ameri.
can Farmer, has given us a tell
ing illustration Of the vast amount
of material which can be gathered
together in a small space of time
to augment the size of the ma
nure heap. If, as we firmly be-
lieve, and as competent and emf
nent chemists now aver, the artl
fetal fertilizers applied to soils de-
pend for their effect upon, and are
effective in exact ratio to, the
presence of mould or humus in
the soil, then that farmer is vii
fully negligent who fails to secure
the means at hand Cf increasing
the supply of that substance in
his soils. The making and con-
tinued increasing of manure
piles, ia which are deposited all
decaying organic matters, and the
base of which is barn yard manure,
is then the duty OF every farmer
who seeks todothe bestGor bis land,
since the fertility of the land can
not be preserved without constant
supplies, in one shape or another,
of putrescent organic manures.

Honey Production.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the estimated value of the honey
and wax produced annually by
the bees in this country is twelve
to fourteen millions of dollars,
honey has until recently failed to
attract attention as an article of
commerce. This seasons yield
will be simply enormous. The
honey interest," of California bids
fair TO soon exceed that of molas
SEES in Louisiana single apair-
ian offers 70 that market five car
loads of honey, and Capt. Hether-
ington, of that State, viii have for
sale, this year, at least $4,000 of
his own product. This great
yield, and the limited means for
its disposal will no doubt, bring
honey down still lower. 1t is the
producers hope that with the in
creasing interest of merchants in
the article, it may always be dis
posed of at remuneratlve prices.
All stated above by the Amer
can Grocer is doubtless true; and
in this connection we call atten.
ton to the great falling off in the
demand for and use of New Or
leans molasses and syrups, owing
in part to the increased use of
honey, and much to the large a
mount of sorghum manufactured
and used by the people now. The
increased demand for honey, and
sorghum mills, is beyond any
thing any one ever anticipated IN
this country, and no one pretends
to set limit to it in the future.

American Wheat in Eng
land.

A Liverpool paper says: 1t is
rather startling, and to Russia
must be not a little alarming, to
find how rapidly American wheat
is superseding Russian in Eogland.
Ten years ego Russia exported
nearly half the bread Etuffs i'm
ported into England, and Ameri-
ca only an eighth; now America
furnishes half, and Russia only
cne-ffth. The difference is likely
to be greater as years 60 on, for a
vigorous attempt is 10 be made to
improve the navigation of the
Mississippi. This, if accomplished,
will transfer to that river a large
part Of the transport now done by
rail, and we shall then see wheat
imported here at considerably less
cost,

Big Farming.
Mr. Dalrymple, the Great Pembi-
ma Agriculturist, Cutting his
$4,000 Acres of Wheat.

Mr. Dalrymple, the Great Pembi-
ma AgricuIturist, Cutting his
Is, 1000 Acres of Wheat.
(From the st Paul Pioneer Press)
A gentleman who came down
from the North Pacific the other
day gives the following interesting
notes in relation to Dalrymple's
great farm: The amount of
ground sown to wheat, this spring,
was $4,000 acres. Harvesting
commenced on Monday, with nine
self binders. The machines are
run fifteen hours without rest,
except the ordinary stops for Oil
ing, lunch and dinner, and the re-
suit per dag is $50 acres. One
man is employed to eech team,
and twelve men follow the ma
chimes shocking the wheat as
soon as it is cut. The entire b..
600 acres were to be cut and
shocked during the week; stacking
and thrashing will of course fol-
low.
Dalrymple is harvesting his crop
for about one fifth of the cost re-
quired under the system in vogue
ten years ago. At the time har-
vesting commenced it was estima-
ted the yield per acre from the
entire tract would not be less
than twenty bushels to the acre.
Grassboppers had done but little
d image, the excessive hot wealth.
er came too late to blast the crop,
and every body who saw the wav.
ing grain pronounced big wheat
farming on the North Pacific a
success. The farm on which the
crop was grown consists of 3d.
600 acres, Oh which next season
there will be sown to wheat 5000
acres; the sod of it was broken
this season. During the breaking
season DR. Dalrymple had as high
as 100 teams at work. The tur,
rows turned were six miles long,
and the team made but two trips
a day, travelling with each pillow,
to make the four burrows, twenty
four miles. The location of this
farm is eighteen miles west of
Moorhead, MINI, in the proposed
new territory of Pembina, and
this is not the only big farm in
the vicinity, but it is the "boss'
farm of dozen or more running
from 500 to several thousand
acres.

Room FOR MORE SHEEP Last
year we paid foreign countries fit-
~ millions of dollars for wooden
goods and eleven millions OF dol
lars for un. manufactured goods.
When we have in the country
twenty-millions more sheep than
we now have, we shall Only pro
duce what wool we use; and yet
there is no country on earth where
it would seem sheep could he rails
ed so pro6tably as in the United
States. But we are coming every
year nearer to supplying our own
markets with the wool they de.
mand. In 1876 the wool clip of
the country was nearly 100000
900 pounds, while in 1860 it was
only 65,000,000.
