Light and Heavy nsnuring.

country bentlemth,
A question often occurs as to the
amount Of msnuring which Is most profit
able to apply to land. a light dressing,
over wide surface, is by some believed
to be best, while others iusist on heavy
msnuring on limited scale. "hs qnea-
tion is answered by the manner in which
the manure is applied. II merely spread
on the surface and plowed in, wide and
thin coat would be most profitable. A
large mass would not become intermixsd
with the soil, and in dry season might
be worse than useless. Five thin coats,
plowed under in as many successive
years, would be much better than one
coat FIVE times ss thick, simply turned
under at one operation. A large amount
may be applied in a single season, pro-
Vided 1t is first finely broken aud pulver-
lied, and then intimately intermixed
with the soil by repeated plowing and
narrowing, or on a small scale with the
spade, hoe and steel rake. --..

Usefulness OF Lime

We can state IN what situation lime
has been most useful, says the Iopa
Rsgistsr. From its power to decompose
1t has been found useful on poor granite
soils. From its caustio nature 1t corrects
injurious matter, such as sulphate ofion
in soil. Lime breaks up and pulverizes stiff
olsys, improving their texture. 1t decom-
poses inert vegetable matter, peat, roots,
&c. 1t hasteps the deosy Of stable ms

matter, No., but in all such cases IL the

POLITICAL.

Hon. W. s. Stenger, secretary OF state
of Pennsylvsnia, fAvors the passage Of
the Morrison Tariff bill.
Prominent Democrats in Congress
writes the Philadelphia Times Washing
ton correspondent, say that the business
interests OF the country are not to be
neglected at this session. TSey feel that
their party is in such large majority In
the House of Representatives that on 1t
would fall the blame for failure to deal
with the several questions, financial and
other, the settlement Of which ia urged
by business interests every where. Efforts
will bs made to pass two at least,o these
messures-one, the Dingley bill to
authorizs the investment OF the lawful
money held in the treasury for the re-
dsmption OF the uotes Of natio al banks
whcse affairs have been wound mp, and
the other the MCPHERSON bill to authorize
the issuing OF circulating notes to
national banks to On amount equal to
the par value Of the bonds deposited by
them with the United States Treasurer to
secure circulation.
One OF those who stands high In the
councils OF the party said to your corre-
spondent this morning, on the way down
| town In the oars, "next week 1t is to be
hoped Morrison and his friends will get
the tariff ont Of the way, 80 that we shall
