Slgrunltural Applying Manures. The agricultural papers are discussing the question whether it is better to apply ma nure on the surface of the ground in the Fall, )r to plow it under in the Spring. Dr. Vcslcker, i distinguished agriculturist of England, we be lieve, originated the new plan of surface manu ring, and it is now advocated by some in this country, among them Prof. S. VV. Johnson.— Jno. Johnson, a correspondent of the Country Gentleman, goes so far as to say that he would rather have "two loads of manure applied to the surface in the Fall, than five plowed und-m."— But it is not onlv scientific men and theorists who differ on this question. There are some practi cal farmers who do not believe that manure lo ses its ammonia or other valuable elements by exposure to the air, and we have known a few. who years ago, pjactised this new system. It appears to us that nothing can be lost by plow ing the manure under at once, while there cer tainly is a loss in exposing it. It will re quire a good deal of writing and reasoning by scientific cultivators, to convince the majority of our farmers that the "old way" is not the best. Thinning Plants- Cobbett said, in speaking of the culture ol cu cumbers, that two plants in a hill would bear a smaller crop than one, three 1-ss than two, four less than three, until fifty plants would hear nothing ct all. The remark will apply to all cucurbitous plants, as ir.eions, squashes and pumpkins—which are often allowed to grow too thickly. A single plant (or two plants at most, so as to insure one in case of accident to the other,) on a rich, well prepared, and well cultivated piece of land, with a space of six or seven feet, is far better than a large number.— The culture of turnips, anil especially those of the rutta baga kind, requires a bold thinning out. A novice of the culture of these roots mav be readilv distinguished bv his thick drills, who would he startled at the "frightful waste" of thrift v voung plants, which the experienced cultivator boldly practice?, and with such deci ded advantage.— Ohio Farmer. EFFECTS OFCLOVEK HAY ox AMMALS. —Some late writers have taken the position that clover hay-produces a most injurious effect on domestic animals, particularly horses; and that to this cause the great increase of diseased horses is to be attributed. We lately heard a farmer affirm, that he believed the introduction of clover hay into general cultivation the greatest curse yet inflicted on the country, and assigned as a reason for this singular opinion, its effects on animals when used a? a fodder. Late English writers have attributed to this kind of hay the* preval ence of heaves in horse?, and the great increase of other di-eas*-s that effect the respiratory or gans. This is a most important subject and should receive a foil investigation, ("lover is too important, a plant to he discarded or con demned except upon the most satisfactory evi dence. Its value as a fertilizer and a prepara tive for wheat, to sav nothing of its use for pas ture and hay, would demand tbat it should not be condemned unheard. For ourselves, w* have very little belief in the injurious properties assigned to clover. We have used it constantly for pasture and for hay more than thirty years and never, to our knowledge, has any anima suffered from it certaintly, no horse has been ta ken with the heaves when led on it, or while ir our possession. A3 hay for sheep, we have con sidered it unrivaled, and should have no fear thai any stock would not winter well, with a sup ply of well-cured clover hay. And here lies, we think, the great source of objection to clover hay. Tt is too often imper fectly cured. To save the leaves and the heads which areapt to fall in handling or curing, the hay is put into the barn while the large stems are full of moisture or the natural juices, and the fermentation which ensues cause the whole mass to become damp: and if not spoiled wholly, it becomes mouldy, black, and when used raised such a dust, it is no wonder that horses and cattle are choked or their lungs destroyed. Our experience show that clover muv be perfectly cuTed without losing any of its valuable parts: cured so that when fed out, no more dust will be living than from timothy or herds grass, and we shall be slow to believe that from such hav any injury to animals ever ensues.— Ohio Valley Farmer. No Drones to the Family. A farmer's daughter, in the Genesee Farmer, says: In a farmer's family there should be no drones; and if there is more work out of doors than in, women should not object to milking cows, or otherwise lend a helping hand to whatever they can do. It only exercises the same muscles that are required in making lemon custards, or whipping Italian cream ; and in no way will a young man be more impressed with a love of rural life, than to see his sisters taking an active part in the useful a? well as orna mental work of an order!}', pleasant, actractive home. VALUE or THE HAY CROPS.— The hav crop of the free States in 1856 is estimated by Mr. Helper, ol North Carolina, to exceed in value four times the cotton crop of the South. It al so exceeded the value of all the cotton, rice, hay and hemp produced in the fifteen slave States. WORTH KNOWING. —One pound of green cop peras, costing seven cents dissolved in one quart of water and poured down a priw, will effectually concentrate and destroy the foulest smells. For water closets aboard ships and 6teamhoats, about hotels and other public places, there is nothing so nice to cleanse places as sim ple green copperas dissolved under the bed in anything that will hold water, and thus render a hospital, or other places for the sick, free from unpleasant smells. For butcher's stalls, fish markets, slaughter housps, sinks and wherever there are offensive, putrid gasses, dissolve cop peras, and sprinkle it about and in a few days the smell will pass away. If a cat, rat or mouse dies about tho houre and sends forth an offensive gas, place some dissolved copperas in an open vessel near the place where the nuisance i 3, and it will soon purify the atmosphere.

From the success of last v ear's operations 1 take pleasure in announcing this Machine to the Farmers for the next Harvest, and feel assured it will fully meet their highest expectations.— ft is easily managed, cuts clean and easv,is of light draft, and readily changed from a Reaper to a Mower, and vice versa, requiring not mure than a minute to make the change. The al terations from last year are follows, viz : All the Journals will be Case-hardened, the SHOES, GUARDS AND GEARING will h" briiit of the best Salisbury Iron, and wrought iron substituted for cast in several pla ces. The Machine is made to mow lodged clo ver without obstruction, by simply removing four bolts and leaving off a part of the frame work. With these alterations and improve ments the machine will he stronger than here tofore, when it was the onlv reliable COMBINED REAPER AND MOWER made. The Machine is warranted capable of cutting from ten to fifteen acres of grass or grain per day, in a workman-like manner. N. B.
