snesestions on Flowing.

Any wise farmer will determine from his
own experience and observation whether
deep or shallow blowing is best adapted to
the soil of his different fields. No ironclad
rule can be laid down that will apply to all
cases. Stiff clay soils will be benefited by
late fall blowing. and the freezing and
tbawing or the exposed rough surfaces
which will put them in a better condition
for the plow and harrow in the spring.
Where rye and wheat are to be sown there
must of course be fall blowing, and the
exact time should be such as best suits the
nature of the crop as found by experience
in certain localities. On a sandy soil plow
shallow, for whatever fertility it may con-
tain will lie near the surface, and there is
the place to keep it, Rich soils will be
benefited by deeper blowing, but the mis-
take ought not to be made of turning a
poor subsoil up to the surface to be cul-
tivated.
Whether fall blowing is done in prepare
tion of crop, or only for its mechanical
action on the soil, it should cover up and
incorporate all the surface vegetation that
will be of benefit to it when decomposed.
Many Of our lest cultivators prefer
spreading lanyard manure on the plowed
ground to turning it under deeply at time
of blowing.

Aanuree.

Messrs. Lawes & Gilbert, speaking upon
this subject, say: I'VE need to become
better acquainted with manures. The mere
fact that barnyard manure, phosphate,
gypsum, etc., are admitted to be fertilizers,
is not enough. Not every farmer can tell to
a chemical certainty what elements his soil
lacks, but nearly all might have more In
telligent knowledge of the paying qualities
of the fertilizers. Some soils are not bene-
fitted with barnyard manure alone as much
as when lime is added, and while most
authorities agree that every complete fertll-
izer should have the elements nitrogen.
potash and phosporic acid, yet when the
varied nature of soils is considered, fixed
proportion of these viii not answer for all
locations. For example, a farmer In this
neighborhood drilled certain brand OF
commercial fertilizers with his wheat.
When harvest came he had such heavy
growth of straw that his binder could
scarcely cut it, but when he threshed it the
yield of wheat was out OF proportion less
than the quantity of straw. His land was
deficient in potash, and nothing but little
personal experimentation could determine
what ingredients and their proportion would
give the best results.
at would hardly be fair to compare fer
tilizers with animal diet. for in the latter
case unless the animal is fed upon more
than one or two elements of nourishment it
dies, and yet in the light of the experiments
referred to this Is good illustration if not
pressed too far. For as the animal thrives
best when fed upon the complex compounds
which its organization demands, SO the plant
will thrive best and improve if the elements
it seeks are at hand.
1.-THE experiment. stations doubtless do
much good in disseminating knowledge Of
the fertilizers, but too often their results
are taken too conclusively. The varied
conditions in the soil even in a single state
is such that the men at the station cannot

The Bordeaux MIXTURE" which is the
standard remedy for black rot and mildew
on grapes and blight on various vegetables,
especially tomato and potato, is composed of
the following ingredients: Six pounds of
sulphate of copper is dissolved in sixteen
gallons of water in one vessel; 10 another
four pounds of fresh lime is slaked in six
gallons of water. Where the latter mix
ture becomes cool 1t is poured into the cop
per solution, being careful to mix thoroughly
BY constant stirring. 1t should be prepared
several days before it is needed for use, and
it should be well stirred when used. This is
considered strong enough for all ordinary
purposes.

DR.. EoCH's DISCOVERIES.

Berlin, Dec. 23rd:
Professor Anderson Stewart, Of Sidney Uni
versity, who has been deputpd to report on
DR.. Koell's cure for consumption on behalf OF
several of the Australian colonies, has, after
studying some hundreds of eases here, made
a preliminary report.
He regards it as undoubtedly a great dis
covery, but considers that the precise value Of
the remedy has not yet been fixed, and states
that the doctors who are studying the treat
ment are reserving lheir Judgment for the
present.
Professor Stuart declares that in advanced
t&seS of consumption the lymph is positively
Injurious. but at earlier stages Of the disease
the treatment apparently has q beneficial
r1-ct on the patients condition.
In February Professor Stewart will start
for Australia, and will take back with him a
supply af the lymph. which has been prcmis-
ed to him by Dr. Liebhartz. He lntenCa to
lecture and demonstrate in Sydney Oil the
cure next March, and appreciates Australian
