AGBIMLTIRAL. I.ihcpnl Tlnmirins. There is profound philosophy in the rtiuuuk of an English nobleman, who asked his tenant what made a certain spot in tho field grow so much s*ron gcr and better grain than the rest?— ‘•That,” said the farmer, “is muckuiid' den”—i. e., a place where manure had been piled. “And why don’t you make the whole field muckuiiddcn ?” asked the nobleman. The point of (lie story lies in the fact that it has always been considered practically impossible t> obtain enough manure to secure the best results on all land. Farmers have been compelled to use manure sparing ly in order to make it extend over their Adds as far as possible, and even then they have failed in part and only man ured one-fourth to one-third their till ed land. The result has been that much of the labor employed has been on poor crops, when it might, by the use of fertilizers, have been on good.— We believe in purchasing manure from (lie stable whenever it can ho had, and if not, then such commercial fertilizers as experience proves to be valuable. It is very rare that the difference between a good crop and a poor one will not pay the expense of buying manures to make the crop. If it will not pay, the probabilities are that nothing the far mer can do will pay, and he had better sell out and quit the busine-s. It does not require a great quantity or heavy outlay in concentrated fertilizers to sc cure a large crop. In the experiment of Mr. Lawes, in England, an average crop of 48i bushels of barley has been grown more than twenty years in suc cession by t'nc use of 200 lbs. of super phosphate and auimonaical salts yearly- The average crop is as good as where fourteen loads per acre of manure were used. There is a double advantage in raising these largo crops. They cost less per bushel, and if the soil is right ly managed otherwise, it is constantly increasing in fertility and value. —[N. Y.
