JOEL JOHNSON, Onl y. Feb, 18, ’69. I’ve Ween 111 in king. I’ve been thinking I’ve been thinking, What a glorious world is this, JDid folks mind their business more, And mind their neighbois less; For instance, you and I my friend, Are sadly j>i«ne to talk Os matters that concern us not, And btlier follies mock. I've been thinking, if we’d begin To ini* and our ovwn nffafrs, Thai poasjljlv our neighbors might .' Contrive to manage theirs. We ve faults enough at home to mend It may he so with others; It woifld seem strange if it were not. Since all mankind are brothers. Oh 1 would that we had charity For every man and woman ; Forgiveness is the mark of those Who know “lo err is human.” Then let (is banish jealbiWy— Let’s lift onr fallen brother ; And as w*e journey down life’s road, l)o good to one another. isolation of Manure**' If is the gen* ml expert' i <•- of' cultiva tors of the soil lhat sifter a series of very heavy maiiuiings, the manures used being of one kind, the < ffet seems to diminish, smd a, ton of the same manure d*>es not pros dnee the same effect in increasing l the crop that it formerly did Although such a • esult is not frequent in farm practice, owing to the fact that manure is in general applied to farm lands in jar too small pro portion to allow of the soil’s getting tired of it, yet•cases .a?e. on record where this result has been produced. Guano, bom dust, lime and ever farm-yards manure, have sdl exhibited this peculiarity. Alder man Meehi tells us that after a few years his land refused to respond to guano to the same extent that it had formerly done. The limit to the action of bone dust is even more quickly reached and more obvious;, aid although farm-yard manure is probaljy tluit which is h<;si entitled, to tb.e texm nni veisai,yet even lands to which it ha,s been tionntbjnliy npnlhd ;d<» sonno inu*s . eiu v<- somtLug else. Tieit is hardly a city in tin* country where gardens are not to be found of which it is said that they have been made'"too rich. Various explanations have been given of this fact. The well known explanation of Liebig that, unh snail the elements required by a plant are present tiie extent to which the element -xising in smallest quantity is present determines the l'esulting fertility) has been pretty generally accepted, at hgasi so far as the m >st important .elements are eoncei ned. An attempt, has also been made to explain it on the ground that whil. an addilion of’ manure so poor land causes very rnaikcd* results, the same amsunt ad d and to rieh land does not produce a oorres- I ondingiy proportionate improvement. ' But to whatever cause (he fact that we have stated is due, it is certain that 'those who have attained the greatest measure of success, have ust'd various manures. 0m of my neighbors, after dosing his garden liberally with stable manure for years, found hi • crops deteriorating. A resort to I one dust and guano instead of stable mare in remedied i.lie evil. Another ailqnaiui aiio found his garden in the a.pne couduion fi'-m the sarm* cause, and in his case a liberal application of fresh soil worked a spei dy cure. Ii is not impossible that both the land bad become “soggy,! and t uierel;> ,i quirtM aerai mg and pulverising, and his, woirhl of 'course be best accomplished by ■ 9 l . ; » • i 'i .' •«• ornitt.irrg the rjiaijure. At the same time wt: are inclin'd to Iwlieve that the rotation or alternation of manures deserves more at tention than it has hitherto received. We werC pleased to observe that the views of Mr. Anderson, author of 'Garden i g for Profit,*coincides with ours upon this point. He says: “In applying manures to the soil, we have long ago discovered the great impor tance of an alternation of different kinds. When I first began business as a market gardener, I had oppotunities of getting large quantities of night soil from the scav engers of Jersey city; this was mixed with stable manure, charcoal, sawdust ’or any other absorbent rn<#»t ej'vcnient* and appli ed so mixed at the rate of about 30 tons per acre. The crops fitised with . this manure re enormous for two or three years, but it gradually began to loose effect, and in five years from the time we began to u.*e-it, it required nearly double tin* weight* of this compost to produce even an average Crop. I then abandoned the use of night soil and applied refuse hops instead, at the rate of about 60 tons per acre yvitti market improvements; but this was for the first and second years only, the third year showing a falling off. About this time our ! NO. 46. prejudices against4|ie use of concentrated manures for tnarket gaiideniujf to give way, and at first we applied guano ogmUoi- with manure at tho rute of 300 pounds-per. acne which w«f found to pay; wn# ffc!S»!PWI Vlirmil W)l 11 ffffVm"9W"!neS at i he rate of 1200 lbs. p'*r. acre, wiih very s.»ti f siactory results. . Since then , ’<7;n ,a, system sit ic . ahernat inn. q£ ures, which I am convinced is of as form crops of fuyit quality, as in thp .alter nation of the different Kinds The principles which go, yerjvo9 in carrying out the above practical.hints dc si-rve greater consideration than they have iiilhei to received, for we are thnt. while the maxim for the majority of our farmers is simply, “make and the manures you can,” he who wojultl ,t|ttain the highest results must give earnest atten tion :« a proper rotation iniiiflSL- Coun try Gentlrnuin.' \ *« Dettray VMMHMpiud lihect* in Graiu. ■>?' **% I ;*jO M.
