that the trailing arOutus will grow almost any

which is from October to the beginning Of
December, when the tlower buds are formed.
In the greenhouse or fernery it will bloom, of
course, earlier than out of doors.

The sheep OF China and interior Asia are
very different in size and character from
those of continental Europe or the British

breeds prevail, which yield good meat and
a wool from which carpets of great beauty
are woven.

growth Of the grass be traced FIVE feet below
the manure heaps. 1t had been all absorbed
by the soil at once rs fast as washed from the
manure These experiments were made on
strong or rather clayey land, which is gen
orally understood to possess more absorbing
power than lighter soils, but those who have
tried this course on lighter land make an
equally favorable report. We observe by a
recent communication from our old cores
pondent, A. b. Allen of New Jersey, that he
has found no bad result from winter manur-
ing on the nearly clear sand of his farm. He
says: II have hadhoaps of manure repeatedly
composted on a soil of coarse white sand, ly-
ing there for six months, and after removing
it | dug into the sand and found it only slight
ly discolored to a depth of two or three inch
es On good garden mold there would be on
ly the slightest discoloring of the surface, and
think no wastage of the salts of the manure
but even if there was little of this during
the winter the loss would hardly be equiva-
lent to the benefit"
Farmers who hesitate to adopt this mode
from the fear of losing part of the manure,
may easily try the experiment in various
forms now that winter is at hand, and satisfy
themselves by actual practical test whether
they are not losing more by drawing out ma
nure on the soft ground of spring and during
its busy season, than by any possible washing
away by rains.-Count'y Gentleman,
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1879-12-05

AS we have stated on former occasions, the
practice of spreading manure in winter, as it
is manufactured at the barn, is becoming
yearly more common, possessing as it does
the important advantages of saving handling
but once, preventing the poaching of the SOIL
being well diffused through the soil by spring.
equalzing labor and keeping the barnyard
clear of large heaps of accumulated manure
But We find that many still hesitate, for fear
it will be washed away on the frozen ground.
They omit the vital question. How will
Hoods of water occur while the ground re-
mains frozen? The same thawing weather
that brings floods from rain or melting snow
softens the surface of the earth enough to
absorb and hold the soluble portions of the
manure, except in the very small spaces in
fields which constitute the bottoms of hol-
lows or the beds of streams, and here the ma
nure need not be placed. On all the rest of
the surface melting SHOWS furnish small and
slowly-moving supply of water, wholly insult
hcient to carry of the manure in a mass and
conveying very slowly over the surface the
soluble parts of the manure as they are grad
ually leached out from the solid spreadings
The same result occurs during rains. Let us
examine for a moment the small amount of
manure on given surface after spreading a
copious supply, and see how easily the soil
can retain all that is valuable. If 30 two
horse loads are made to cover an acre the
stratum will be only the fourth of an inch
thick, and the soluble part would constitute
mere film Before there could be water
enough in time of thaw to carry this por-
ton of, the surface of the field would be thaw-
ed 10 depth quite equal to absorbing and
holding all. We have experimental fully on
this point by placing heaps of manure in
winter several inches thick on steep hillsides
Of grass. The melting snow and the copious
rains of early spring had a full chance to
wash this manure, or at least its enriching
portions, down the steep hill but in NO in
stance could the increased luIuriance in the
