SOME Of thu eastern papers complain that
the western farmers hoard their gold and sill
yer, bsc.uss ofthe immenso sum, sent from
the seaboard to buy grain, ETC., little or none
Of which has been sent back. In reply to
this the western papsas take very high
ground, aud vouch fer the ability Of
their farmers to take very good
care of their cash. 1t is liks-
ly that the surplus will bs applied to paying
of mortgages, improving and increasing
stock, and giving their locsl merchants u
benefit out of the fat pockstbosks which
have taken the place of the fall grain bias.

anticipated from the use of the
German potash salts. We gather
also from the literature of the sub
ject that the use of those salts has
not proven satisfactory in British
agriculture. 1t seems to be true
that the acknowledged utility of
wood ashes as a fertilizer, connec-
ted, as it is, in the popular mind
with the extraction of potash from
these ashes for domestic purposes,
has led many rather thoughtlessly
to attribute their efficacy to the
presence Of the potash, but they
contain all the clements of plant
food and especially notable guam
titles Of that very important sub
stance, phosphoric acid.
