AGRICULTURE, TILLAGE AND EVAPORATION —A few years ago a contemporary announced with great positireneas the discovery that culti vation of the surface soil promotes instead of retarding evaporation, and is therefore labor worse than wasted, so far as it hail previously been supposed to help iu retaiu i noisture. Experiments by Professor Stock bridge, of Amherst, were subsequently published, which seemed sufficient to con lule the position above referred to, and to establish the correctness of previous teach, ings on the subject. And now Dr. Slur levant, of the State Experiment Station at Geneva, reports the following experiment, which If similar in result to those of Pro fessor Stock bridge, though not couducted in precisely the same manner. The ques tion of drought is one which periodically engages attention, and any means by which its injurious effects may v be ungita ted should certainly be known to the far mer. That cultivation, by forming a loose soil upon the surface wuich acts as a aiulch, conserves the water to the soil, is a fact which is well established, and should be more commonly appreciated. For the purpose of offering numerical values which shall express the influence of cultivation, we have tried the following experiment: Oak boxes of one cubic foot capacity wei e made of half-inch stuff, and ihoiouuhly soaked with oil. The bottoms being re moved, the frame was torced dowu into the earth in the corn Held, and the bottom afterwards put m position. We thus had a foot cube of soil in its natural position. The surface or the earth in one box was left undisturbed, while the surfaces of two boxes were kept cultivated. By weighing these boxes the gain or loss is assumed to measure the evaporation which has taken place from each. From July 20 to Au gust 1, six days, the cultivated soil evapo rated at ihe rate of 906 gallons per acre lets than the undisturbed soil, or less 151 gallons daily per acre. From August Ito August 10, nine days, the cultivated roil evaporated 2367 gallons per acre less than did the undisturbed soil, or less than 263 gallons daily per acre. During the whole period from July 26 to August 10,. tifteen da) s, the saving of water effected through cultivation figured up 212 gallons daily per acre, or expressing these tacts i i another form, the undisturbed soil lost per acre from July 26 to August 10, 4243 gallons; the cultivated soil 1060 gallons. In caicu ltt.ng our results to the acre by multiply ing ihe evaporation which has taken plate Horn a square foot of ruiface by 43,560, ihe unavoidable eirors are correspondingly multiplied, and while duplicate series can never be expected to give the same numer ical results, yet the one fact becomes ui - questionable—that through cultivation we are enabled to conserve to the soil a large arnouDt of water during a drought, iu deed, observation through extended peri ods of drought, also plainly shows the su periority ot fields that have been well cul tivated over those where cultivation has been neglected. CUTTING SKKD FQTATOKS. —The best of farmers uiffer materially in regard to the beet way to prepare seed potatoes for plant - iug. One farmers has obtained the best results from planting whole potatoes. An other has been most successful in cutting his potatoes, giving only one good eye to a cutting. Another has met with the best success with one eye, but the cutliug was made deep with a picked pointed knife, so as to giye the eye plenty ct nourishment before it throws out roo's to draw its sup plies from the soil, bo it teems that pota toes have made tine yields from all styles of cut seed, and from small aqd large whole potatoes. The fact is that in a tolerably sandy soil, containing plenty ot vegetable mat ter, with plenty of cowyard manure, and some ashes and superphosphate, and pro per cultivation, the yield will be apt to be large in a good potato season if the seed is of the right kind, cut in almost any style, or planted whole. THE muck or peat of some localities may be applied directly to the land, either ireah dug, if dry enough to haul, in which condition it is best to apply it in the au tumn, so that it may l>e ameliorated by the fiosts and thawiugs ot winter, or after such weather?Dg. Other kinds ot muck cannot be used advantageously without composting with lime or manure, or white ashes, or some other active substance, while that of some localities applied raw is pos itively deleterious to the crops of the nrst jcar. As a general rule muck may be made uselul in ordinary farm o|>era lions by mixiDg it with manure from the stable, in the cow-yard, the pig-pens, or the sheep-yards, and it is safe to say that the addition ot muck of good quality in this way may easily double or triple the value ot the manure made upen the farm. That is, a yard capable of furnishing, under ordinary circumstances, 100 loads of manure, may lie made to furmsn twice or even three times as much, both in quality aod value. OOTOBKR is a good time to get out a sup ply of swamp muck. It is impossible to answer the q lestion as to the exact value of this material as applied to land. The quality of muck varies greatly, some of it not being woitb the expense of removing it from the beds, even when this can he done with ease. The fertilizing value ot most mucks depends largely upon the ni trogen they contain, and that this element may be available the muck needs to un dergo a process of decomposition. The * nnrogen must be liberated from its lnsolu bie organic compounds, and form soluble substances, as the aitrates and ammonia compoudds. To secure this, muck should be either placed in a heap and subjected to the influence of freezing and thawing— weathering, as it Is termed—or be mixed with manure in a compost heap, and there undergo a decomposition, to tit it for use as a fertilizer. At ttiis season the muck beds are usually filled with water, but by beginning at one side, a boat or scow may be used to advantage. THE English farmers are congratulating themselves that the lean years which had come upon them are now ended. The crops are almost universally good,and thus far the weather—usually so treacherous in this country—has been very favorable for harvest work. In the Southern part ol the British Islands the wheat is now nearly all in, hut in the northern part ot England and south of Scotland they are just in the midst of the harvest. The wheat crop is said to be below the average in yieiJ, but it is really above it, for the so-called aver age can scarcely be called a just one. VIOLETS.— Few things are more valued in winter than a bunch of Bweet Violets. Some may new be potted, and they will flower in the window towards spring: or a small bed of them may be made in a frame which should be protected by a mat from severe frost. The same of Pansies.

There is a great necessity for thorough skim ming, and to help the scum rise, p >ur in a little cold water now and theu, and as the soup reaches the boiliug point, skim it off. Use salt at first sparingly, and season with salt and pepper; allow one quart of soup to three or four per sons. For tomato soup allow one gal lon of stock made from nice fresh beef to three quarts of fresh tomatoes; re move the skin and cut out the hard cen tre, put through a fine sieve, and add to the stock; rnako n paste of butter and flour, and, when the stock begins to boil, stir in a half teacup of the paste, taking care not to have it lumpy; boil twenty minutes, seasoning with salt aud pepper to taste. Two quarts of the canned tomatoes will answer. "Durability is better than show." Durability of health is worth more than the wealth of Vanderbilt.
