d Crops in England again promise an
indifferent yield. The drought up to
the early part Of june, and cold easter
ly winds, seriously affected the cereal
crops. The comparative poor harvest
Of last year, added to the depressing
effects Of the present prospect,
has caused many farms to be vacated
by tenantA about seventy Per cent. Of
whom, 1t Ii estimated, are in, arrears
for rent. The indications are that
grain Of all kinds will command ad-
vanced prices in England, and an in
creased quantity viii DO required from
the surplus Of this country, which We
can readily spare.
In certain California peach. drying
establishments, tho work Of peeliDg
the peaches has been much slmplified
BY the following process "A crate
filled with fruit is dropped into q vat
containing hot lye, and there shaken.
It is then removed to tank Of pure
cold water and the lye 10 washed away.
The skins of the fruit by this process
become 90 separated from the pulp
that they are drawn off with one mo-
ton Of the hand. This saves much
time, labor and expense. The new
process causes the fruit to dry more
readily, and very slight loss in weight
results.
When cantaloupes become the size

This keeps the melon from contact
with the ground and will prevent th /.
ground from extracting the flavor
from any portion of it, as is generally
the case with watermelons and canta-
loupes which we buy in the markets,
as We all know. For private domestic
use, the little trouble which this pro-
lection gives 10 repaid hundred fold
IN the excellence Of the flavor of the
fruit, and we think causes them to
mature earlier.
Our gardens generally do not con.
tain a. good variety of herbs as they
should, for even the use of the family.
This would seem strange when they
are 70 convenient for the culinary
department, and are 10 easily raised
from the alp, but it must be from
this years growth. 1t is not too late
yet II attended to without delay. To
propagate IN this way most of the
herbs or seeds may be sown with
good results. Formerly all the old,
well established gardens Of farmers,
contained . fall supply Of all the va
rious kinds, which were carefully
dried in tho shade, by which they re :
tanned their entire virtue until the
next crop was ready for use.

Cheap Manure.

When one goes to buy a farm his
first concern Is about cheap land.
Next he considers how he can get
cheap labor, and with these he is gem
orally satisfied. Indeed, with many
the price per acre 10 the main consid-
Grafton. If q hundred and fifty dol
lars, say, be the ruling price per acre,
and he can buy for hundred, it is a
chance II the bargain is not at onoe
made.
1t Ia not often that cheap manure is
thought Of, and yet We think it is OF
az much importance as all others. We
have indeed heard it put as a truism
by farmers about Philsdelphia-and
put in way as II assured Of no eon-
tradiotion--that NO man could afford
to pay moro than $3.50 per acre and
thrive. It is looked on as wholly q
matter Of the price of land but there
can be no doubt that one can better
afford to pay $500 where manure is
abundant and cheap, than $50
where 1t is not to be had at any price.
There are men about all large cities
who either farm or garden land worth
several thousands of dollars an acre.
They do not perhaps buy land at this
figure and farm 1t but their rent and
perhaps taxes would represent the in
terest of this great sum. 1t 10 often
said it is because they are near to mar
ket. They grow heavy articles that
are costly to transport long distances,
and the saving is here. There Is some
force In this but little 10 comparison
with the facility they enjoy in cheap
msaure. The country farmer has no
idea Of the richness Of their lands,
and by which they can take off three
or four crops Of different articles q
year.
We know many Q country farmer
who congrstulates himself whenever
there Is pr ,spect of anything occur-
ring near him that may increase the
value OF his land. This 10 all very well
in its way. Yet we think many miss
IL by allowing calculations of such in
crease to enter into their heads to too
great an extent. It keeps them from
making improvements which might
bear heavier crops, and which would
bring In money more quickly and
huuuuhhSAy Suah oby AusuAo huuioobo
In land. It tends TO reduce agricul-
tare to Q real estate speculation, rather
than TO continue 1t as one great busi-
ness of life. It would as q general
thing be of far more profit for some
business that tended to give the neigh
bor chance ct cheap manure to start
near him than the most fashionable
"country-seat" would be. Farmers
are indeed often tempted to put the
spare money into enterprises of mere
show, on the plea of ''improving"
property, when they would hesitate
about doing anything for industrial
enterprises which might help the crops
rather than the land.
These things seem 90 clear whom
pointed out as to make itappear hard
" worth. referring to; but We know
too many who lave failed just here,
many who have looked only to the
price of land or the price of land and
labor, and who have toiled on for years
because there was no way to keep up
the fertility of the land without great
expense, that We are sure the remarks
We have made will be generally use
full.
