FLAT CULTURE FOR POTATOES.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes: Several years ago
became Il convert to fiat culture for
potatoes, and every season convinces
me that this mode is preferable to the
forming of hills around the plants
This season, being a very moist one in
this section, fully demonstrated with
me that in moist as well as dry season
fiat culture is the better of the two
Just across the fence from my potato
patch was a field Of my neighbours, of
about four acres, planted about ten days
before mine. The ground is alike on
both patches-clayey loan My neigh
Dor MANFRED more literally than did.
He adopted the hill method of culture,
and the fiat method.
In the early part Of the season his
made a much more vigorous growth
than mine ; in fact, the foliage in his
field covered the ground before mine
had begun to grow. AS the season adj
vancei mine gained in growth upon his
and maintained greener foliage longer.
His ripened abouta week ahead ofmine,
but while his crop averaged 1S0 bushels
to the acre, mine averaged $50 bushels
to the acre. There was seventy bushels
difference upon soil similar, his having
the advantage of more manure than
mine. | consider that flat culture re-
qures less labor than killing, produces
heavier crops, and the quality is ust as
good, with all other conditions the
same.
Daily Republican. [volume] ([Wilmington, Del.]) 1874-1890, 1883-06-18
BRAINS IN FARMING.

There is no doubt that brains will tell
in holding the pIow, in planting pota-
toes or small fruits, or in feeding OF
milking cows, quite AS much as in any
other Occupation or profession.
This is demonstrated in masses as
shown in the census tables an clearly an
in the case Of individuals in any neigh
borhood. Thus the State of Iowa EN-
yloys so, 900 fewer farm hands than Mis-
souri,, but employs more machinery and
brains because it contains a more intel
ligent population and by a better know
ledge and better grade Of tools Iowa
cultivates one-ft,h more area and raises
two-titlhs more produ" than Missouri.
This aggregate is made up by the
small individual incrementS otsuptrlOri-
ty in the citizens OF the one State over
those of the other. 1t is the difference
between intelligence and stupidity and
general ignorance. The general est-
mate is tina, farming is only a routine
business and that brains are not needed
in so dull and primitive Il calling. But
statistics backed by observation shows
that brains are employed, and farmers
should make a note Of this.
Daily Republican. [volume] ([Wilmington, Del.]) 1874-1890, 1883-06-18
WORKOUT LAND.

Every intelligent farmer knows that
the poorest of lands can be made rich,
and that lands may produce crops a
thousand years, or to the end of time,
without being worn out.
Some of the richest lands in England
have been III cultivation over Il thousand
years, and the lands in China have been
cultivated u NJ ch longer time without
wearing out. Nature never wears out
or impoverishes soil-why should man?
Americans have been famous land kill
"rs and forest sayerS. They are now
learning how to restore these poor lands
10 their original fertility, and how to
make land richer, and how to keep
lands from wearing out and to last for
ever.
Farmers are turning their attention
togood butter cows, good wool and NUT
ton sheep, to good beef cattle, fine hogs,
to good horses and mules, fine domestic
fowls, and to qualities in all of these
that are useful and profitable. Scrubs
on farms have had their day-hetter
blood and better treatment of domestic
animals are now questions of great in
terest to American farmers.

BEST ASSORTM ENT OF AMMONIA.

| BEST ASSORTM ENT OF AMMONIA.
A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tleman writes that paper: "The weight
of ammonia per cubic foot is about hall
that of air hence its great tendency to
pass upward as soon as found in or
near the surface of the earth. The best
agent to absorb this gas is carbon OF
charcoal hence their purifying effect
when placed over decaying matter.
Fine garden soil, or road dust, is also
one of the best articles, as many have
no doubt observed by applying few
shovelfuls to an offensive clubhouse. |
have seen the etie IT in the irst minute
after applying. Carbon having this
peculiar absorbent powder without pro-
ducing any chemical change, it will be
seen how important it is that full sup
| ~ of it should be in the soil to hold
the ammonia. In a fernenting pile of
manure there is always more or less
ammoniacal gas passingo and for any
one desiring to save this there is moth
ing better or cheaper IAN earth from a
ditch or bank or any other convenient
pile. -
A thin layer occasionally spread over
the manure will etiectually secure the
escaping gas. Many have, no doubt,
often seen the advice Of the use of plas-
ter or sulphate Of lime, which fixes the
alkalinl gas by displacing the lime and
forming sulphate of ammonia. 1t is
strange that this error should be made,
and by those who know better. Be-
tween lime and sulphuric acid there is
a powerful affinity, and it is no easy
matter to break this union, especially
by a feeble base like ammonia. If the
advice were given to untix the ammonia
from a sulphate no quicker mode could
be suggested than adding lime to sui
plate of ammonia. The lime would
soon have the sulphurc acid and form
sulphate of lime, and the ammonia
would pass off, never to be caught by
another portion of sulphate of lime"

A LITTLE ROOM.

The room was very small and bare
Its low and empty walls were brown;
No magic touch VI art was there
To bring the country to the town:
And all the beauty 1t could show.
We're six sweet myrtles in row,
Now while stir not from my chair,
My heart to that poor room will steal;
A sense OF summer time is there,
myrtle-scented breath feel;
| hear again the passing cry,
"koses blowing Who will buyf"
What made that low room all so dear?
vanished face, tender tone,
Whose music shall never hear
While life's long dusk spend alone.
Our love. know. Is still the same,
But who can guess Its new -inade frame?
And so, when dreaming on tiny seat
My soul seeks New jerusalem town,
1t always seem her weary feet
Regain that chamber bare and brown:
And Gods own glory seems to y low
On myrtles, standing in Il row
| know quite well that cannot be:
yet sometimes parallels are true)
But it must stand COR Heaven to me
A haven in Gods boundlcss blue
Where Love finds anchorage. while wide
Gods sea Of love rolls every side
