Last year we applied line horse manure, pretty well rolled, l<> (lie corn ground alter il was marked out al llie rate of ten gyod loads to the acre. On covering the corn ilie manure was drawn into Ihe hills, perhaps ojne fonrlli of il. The land was thin bill the corn was quite {rood, as good as some that grew where a fence had stood and I think had never lieen ploughed, lull without manure. Sometimes we have covered corn wifh a sliovellTilmf rich dill in heavy soil. The consequence was big corn, while Ilia! without swell Ireyl men! close by was small. Twice we have ploughed in in a mire for corn in a heavy soil with out any perceptible advantages. Once a heavy coal of manure ap plied for corn on red shale hind made a very marked difference. Hill we need all our manure for wheal unless phosphate will an swer. Around here they are using line ground hone meal, and also a phosphate composed, il is said, of Ihe refuse of'laughter houses and dead animals mixed with hone meal. The effect of bone lias been remarkable in I lie produc tion of wheat, and still more so in grass. A few years ago we ap plied al Ihe vale of 200 pounds of hone In Ihe acre on wheat that was up. The wheal alongside was manured. The grass where Ihe hone was applied look well, and produced line crops of hay. On that alongside, Ihe grass look imperfectly, and had not a fourth its much hay as where the hone was applied. Two years ago we applied bone to tin* wheat land that we had no manure for. The wheat was as gbod its where manure was tip plied. Last fall we applied bone with manure on some of Ihe field. Now there is :i very marked dif ference in favor of the wheat where bone was applied. But last .fall we applied 150 pounds of phosphate to the acre, costing s‘b The wheal is twice as good where that was applied as it is alongside where ten loads of manure to the acre were applied. (km your chemists tell whether the pltos phate will last, or whether it slim ulales the soil i 'the spring is (jttile early. Apple trees are in bloom. Wheal is a fool high in some cases, l’aslure plenty. It Ims been dry for l.wo weeks, but yesterday and to day we have had plenty of rain. Mahoning county. < >.. April 27. Eliauge, or Sell Out. It is fully lirl£ that agricultu ralists throughout (In* cotton belt should clearly ami finally under stand that they mux! grow the provisions required for their house and t heir stock, or, wheth er it please them or not, they must “sell out Hi (hose who will.” They hold their land with this condition attached lo it. They cannot Inty their (lour, corn meal and meat from I In- merchant and keep their farms. That system will bankrupt them, and leave I hem poor. Those who raise pro visions for themselves cun make profits where those who buy them endure losses, And out of those profits they will buy the farms of the others for 1 heir sons. A Jackson. Mississippi, corres pendent of the New Orleans Pie aytine writes that Mississippi is neither prosperous nor hopeful, for the merchants and banks own bail the faints in the Slate, or have mortgages upon them. Large numbers of these farmers are in deep trouble and discour agement. and liter are embit fered against the merchants of whom they hough!, on credit, the hav, corn. Hour and meal they -Itotild have grown for them Helve*. It would be better lor them to acknowledge where the blame lies, not lav it. on the liter chant, and change their system of farming accordingly. As we have said, if they will not, they will have to “-ell out to those who will."" Who is io blame f asks the Jackson writer; where i- the fault ' lie gives the :m s wet s: ••The good farmers in this -State who have worked --ix days in the week and have used fertilizers with judgment, have made their own meat and bread, and have bought from the merchant simp ly what they needed, and have let whiskey alone, and are thrifty men so far as our observation ex tends. They own their farms and pay their store accounts. But a failure in either of I In* live counts above noticed may ruin a larme \ in a lew years. If ibe of Ihis State continue to lie ly-fM by the farmer* of the Ohio amkt upper Mississippi rivers, in less 1 than ten years not less than fifty thousand of these farms will be in the hands of (In* merchants, and most of the nierehan t w ill be “Hal broke," with a caravan of elephants <m their hands." Kxmoor Sheep. The Kxmoor is a breed of Kng lish sheep, deriving its name from the districts in the northwest ern parts ol Devonshire, where they are chiefly found. Their chief merit consists in their round barrels and good constitutions, with tine flavored mutton and fair quantity of wool. They pos sess white laces, legs and lleeees, and have been termed “the lillle while ivories," They have a fine, curly horn, a broad., square loin, round l ilts, short legs and a close set lleeee, with wool well up to l he cheeks. The eonntry in w hich lltey are reared generally is overcharged with water after the autumnal rains, yet Ihis breed, even in !be infant stale, sustains the chill of the wet ground without beeom mg subject lo (lie rot, which proves so fatal io many other species. Their summer pasture is scanty, and I heir winter food consists elii*lly of wliai lliev pick up while ranging over extensive t racts of pasl 11 rage, wit It the as sislancc of a little indifferent hay, obtained from the coarse herbage of the moors, and per haps occasionally with a small supply of turnips, e a change in the management of I hese sheep has occurred within tin* past few years, and since advanced prices for meet have held out premiums for quickening mutton produc tion, even mountain breeds have been improved in their feeding capabilities to bring I hem lo earli or maturity, through judicious selection and also l>v crosses with other breeds. Regarding the present man agement of Exmoor flocks in Eng land, the usual period ot lambing is from March to the middle of April, and llie weaning takes place about mid summer. They are turned on to the bills early in the spring, and many of them remain there the whole year round, the only time they are got in being for shearing and wean ing, the latter of w hich is effect ed by keeping the lambs for some weeks in the enclosures. The Ex moor is a larger, higher quality and in every respect better aui inal than the Welsh, and it lias been much improved in the last fifteen years. However, the breed is be-d adapted for partie iilar locations, and can scarcely be considered one lor general use. The Exmoor lias tin* reputation of being better adapted to tlu*. requirement* of it- native RMI tli< l than any other mountain v 9 liety, and if sufficient quality amj capability to put on llesli rapidlfp can ha imparled to t Ins hardy aim prolific stock, il is to be hoped that it will be one of the few mountain species that the hand of civilization w ill spare. .1/ nn iriln ( 'illlivillnr. Points of u Hairy Cow . Mr. Halilwin, of Ohio, at tin* Inlt* meeting of tin* American Dairy men’s Association, gave his views on the dairy eow as fol lows: u lt is useless to talk aliout lit‘t.l breeds for dairy uses, heeausc no one breed is entirely reliable. As far as tjic speaker's observu tion had “ime, the Ayrshire fur itisited the most good ones for butter making. There are about forty five different point- intliea live nf good dairy cows.
