The results of a single top dressing on eight plots of nearly half an acre each of sandy warm soil of our State Agricul tural Collage Farm exhibited the follow ing fit ts at the end of three years : The tip dressing was applied in 1804, and the grass was cut tsvice each season in 186-1 and 19G5 and once in 1866. The prrduce of each cutting and of each lot was weighed separately and a perfect re cord kept. The results for the four sea sons were as tollows : On the plot to which no.manure or fertilizer was appli ed the total weight of hay yielded per acre wa- 8.7-10 pounds . Where two bushels of plaster per acre was applied thc’yield per acre was 13,226 pounds, a gain of 4,488 pounds. Where five bushels of wood ashes were applied the yield per acre was 12,907 pounds, a gain • of 4,165 pounds. Where three bushels of salt was sown per acre, the yield was 13.969 pounds, a gain per acre, of 5,- 227 pounds. Where 20 loads of muck per acie was laid on, the yield per acre was 13,816 pounds, gain of 5,074 pounds. Where 20 loads of horse ma nure was laid on. the yield was 14.686 pounds, a gain of 6,224 pounds. These are results which indicate that these fertilizers will produce as good results as plaster. For instance, the poster yielded a gain of 51 per cent, while the horse manure gave an increase of 71 per cent, or nearly a ton more grass per acre in the three 'years. —- jl ich iff an Fanner, Time to Item! We have often encountered many who profess to believe that they have no time to read. Now we think of it, there have always been men of such characters the points of which are easily summed U P- . Nine tirr.es out they are men wdo have not found time to confer any substantial advantages either upon their families or themselves. Thev frequently spend whole days in gossipping, tippling and swapping horses, but they have no time to read, jt They sometimes loses day askingad vicc of their neighbors ; sometimes a day in picking up the news the price cut rent, and the exchange, but these men never have time to read. „ j They.have time to hunt, fish, to fiddle, to do nothing, but no time to read. Such men genera’ly h ive uneducated children, unimproved farms and unhap py firesides. They have no energy uo spirit of im provement, no love of knowledge : they live unknowing and unknown, and often die unwept and unregreted. Our advice to all isjto suds rib' |for the Times this year, and trv to “be some* body.” Feeding Straw.— This article is too valuable to be used for bedding; when absorbents as sand, swamp muck, leaves or sawdust can be procured.— 01 can straw cut and mixed with six quarts of meal daily, will keep horses that arc worked moderately in good condition. Hay and oats may be given on Sundays to save labor, and as a wholesome change. Common sheep will also do well fed on straw, with a lit tie corn or a quart of bran daily ; the heavier bedied breeds will require a „pound of oil-cake meal or some roots, and at least one feed of hay daily in addition. Sheep need not be fed until after breakfast as they are not early feeders, and love to lie late. Other stock should bo fed as early as possible. —American Stock Journal. % To Cure a llorse of Blind Stag gers.—Mr. J. W. Cross, a farmer of l)oo.ly county, gives U3 the following recipe for the cure of horses afflicted with blind staggers: First Inject vinegar and black pepper freely into the nostrils. Second take a piece of woollen cloth, thoroughly wet it with spirit of turpertine, cover it with another p\eee of dry cloth, and place both pi jeesover the eyes of the horse and apply a hot iron. Third, drench with strong rul pepper tea. Two hot ties of this tea, xfter the other applica tion, have never faded to effect a perfect cure. —Hawkiiis villc JD l S p a tc h .

In case of potatoes —taking those that rot and are otherwise lust —together with the shrinkage, there is little doubt that between October and June the loss t > the owner who holds them is not less than 33 per cent.

Thicken with flour to a still batter; ad 1 raisins nr flour ; place in a pudding dish and steam one hour. Serve with sweet sauce.
