After the first fertility of our lands, west and east, says Mr. R. | S. Dodge, has gone abroad by the ship load, the supply of barn-yard manure, even under the most fa | vorable circumstances, must be ! entirely inadequate to maintain them in good condition. The value i of barn-yard manure seems to he highly overrated—not in its use fulness, but in its quantity. Sup pose that even a careful farmer ■ should devote his lands to dairy purposes, and restore to the Held every atom of his animal manure, where will he get the valuable elements he has sold in the shape of milk or butter, beef, pork, or cheese. These are gone, never to return, except lie can find them in some of nature’s gifts. In a country like England, continually : importing largely and consuming I rich animal and vegetable foods, tiie land may be constantly be | coining more productive if there ! the farmers utilize all their rc | fuse. But, with who supply these foods, the conclusion ap I pears inevitable that our lands are daily becoming less produc-. I tive, at present visibly so only in j the east; but there is a lino di- I viding our land into two parts— ono of surplus, tho other of defi ciency—and this line is slowly, but surely, travelling westward, in the yet visible wake of "tho pio ! neer. Mr. Dodge advises the ini | portance of resorting to all known j and even untried means to gather j valuable, compact, portable fer : ; tilizers from every natural source ; —the air, tho rocks, the seas— and hail, with delight any addi- I tion to their number as an impor i taut ally in the increase and prac ! tical extension of profitable agri i culture. Clawson and Fultz Wheat. The experience of the past year has done much towards lessening : the distrust of Clawson wheat oc | casioned by the resolutions a dopted at the Michigan State ; Millers’ Convention condemning 1 it as in many respects inferior to older varieties. Quite a number I of trustworthy agriculturists from | various sections of that State, who persisted in sowing the Claw son wheat notwithstanding the protest of the millers, add their testimony to that of a host of ol.h thers all over tho country in fa vor of this kind. It is fast spread ing over a large extent of soil | and climate, with excellent re ! suits reported in nearly all cases. The character isties which most | strongly recommend the Clawson j variety, judging from the experi ence of numerous correspondents, | are its large yield and early ma ; turity, it being equal to the Med- I iterranean in this last respect.— Another great advantage is that it does not shell readily. It has a white kernel, large and plump, with red, bald chaff; the straw is stitt - at bottom and of medium height. 8o far it has proved har dy, comparatively free from rust and not so liable to attacks from the Hessian tly as many other kinds. The Fultz wheat, which lias <fl so a great many admirers, ap pears to be specially prized where white wheat fails to do well, and in sections where suc cessive failures witli old kinds had led farmers to believe their lands would rio longer yield re munerative crops. This ia a smooth wheat with short straw, and has the reputation of stand ing up well. While the berries are not large they are plump and : full. A Simple Way to Tighten Wagon TIREB. 1 have found the following way to tighten wagon tires to be suc | cessful: Apply leather rings be tween the shoulders on the outer : ends of the spokes and the cor responding portions of the fellies, which may be done as follows: — Procure a number of small pieces of leather, from an inch and a ; half to two inches in diameter; with a sharp knife and compasses, ior with a cutting punch, make round holes in the centres of these pieces, and make a straight cut from thqpoles to the outer edge of the pieces so as to form open rings. The holes must be made of a sizo that will nicely tenons on the outer ends of the spokes. Place a fulcrum on the top of tho hub, on which place your lever, with its short end un der the felly, near a spoke; have an assistant to bear down on the outer end sufficiently to raise the felly, and expose the shoulder and tenon of the spoke; open the leather ring, and fit it nicely a round the tenon, holding it to its place while your assistant relaxes the lever, and settles the felly firmly upon the leather by a blow or two on the tire. Having re peated the process with a suffi cient number of spokes to make the tiro all right, trim otf the pro jecting leather even with the sur face of the spokes, and your task will he done. If your pieces of leather should he spongy, ham mer them down some before using.—B. R. in Western Rural. Farm Experiences. H inter Grazing or Turf Oats. —All, who can get the seed, are now sowing the winter grazing or turf oats, and throwing all others aside. They are decidedly the finest oats we have ever hiul in this country. They never tail to make a fine crop, and the most important part of it, is, they are sown in the fall, and furnish a fine green pasture all winter for any kind of stock, and in the spring you still get a heavy crop of seed; 1 have seen hunches of them from one grain have from fifty to eighty good heads, which proves its value as a sod, or pro lection to save land from wasting as well as for seed.—J. R. Grubb, Sweet Water, Tenn. Ashes for Grass Lands.— There can be no doubt that ashes make valuable dressing for grass land, but they may he put on in such amount as to injure the condition for ploughing. Their tendency is to make heavy land heavier. I have seen clay soil made cloddy by their application in considera ble amount. But on grass I think ashes rarely come amiss, and I hey are a special fertilizer for pota toes.—W. A. Armstrong, Elmira. How to Plant Peaches. —The way f plant them, is to dig a hole in the ground,•say six or eight inches, plant as soon its the pulp is off, and let them remain in (he ground all winter. In the spring take them up, crack (he stones, and plant the meat. The first, they [grew five feet; out of one hundred, not one bad peach, all natural.—D. 11. S., Portsmouth. Turpentine and Cesspools. — Turpentine I also found to be a powerful deodorizer. A table* spoonful added to a pail of water will destroy the odor of cesspools instantly, and in the sick cham ber will prove.a powerful auxilia ry in the destruction of germs and bad odors.-—Thomas Taylor, J Washington. Utilizing Apple Cider. 1 con vert into first class vinegar as fol lows: Place a strong iron hound cask ia a warm place, and put in to it in the first place a few gal lons of the best vinegar. Then add once a week an average of a pint ol cider to each gallon ol vinegar, till the barrel is full.— This will give the very best of vinegar.—J. G. I). Nelson, Lid. Vaiue of llenTs (jrass and Clo - ver. —This year I have cut clover and herds grass from a field that was seeded in clover eight years ago—the ninth crop taken from the ground without reseeding.— The herds grass and clover aver aged over four feet in length.— Col. 11.
