<s**, 6arAe*3Rßt>u^tlioSi. RESOURCES Or MANURE. This salgect is always in order among farm era whose soil haa been long un<W cultiva tion, and its fertility partial exhausted. Western farmers occupying a virgin soil, who a few years since thought there was no use for it, and moved their barns to get out of the way of its accumulation, begin to see the utility of saving and applying it: they Find that better crops are raised with it. I shall not attempt to suggest anything new, for it would seem impossible after all that has been said and written on the subject; but a fre quent reiteration of similar precepts may in duce some one to adopt a better system oi saving and applying his manure. Does the reader make the most of bis resources? Is there nothing left that can be converted into fertilizing material? When every resource is exhausted, then it is time to resort to com mercial fertilizers. How is it with the hog pen? Is that well supplied with good mate rial to absorb the liquid os well a* ammonia? A free supply will tend tokeep she hogs clean and furnish a quantity of rich manure. Thenljthere is the privy, which is too fre quently allowed to w.isie its ammonia, in stead of having absorbents Mippiled to tix it. A tight vault, into which dry muck, piaster, loam, &c., may be introduced and mtxed, will supply several loads of pi.udrotte, supe rior to what the market affords, with little labor, 'i hen hen-roost will supply several barrels of good guano, the quality of which there is up question, when home manufactur ed, by supplying dry leant, plaster, Ac., with frequent overhauling. A pit so constructed that it may receive all the slots nnd wash from the house without waste, will, by biiing in loam, muck, fine coal dust, &-i., give sev eral loads of rich material to be applied to any garden or field crop. Wood ashes, com posted with dry muck, or loam, bones broken and mixed in a cask with fine loam and kept constantly wet with urine will dissolve and make good bone phosphate. Then often times animals die from accident or disease, which may be couverted into manure by be ing cut upland composted with some of the various absorbents to be found on every farm. Urine of all kinds is the most valuable of manures, and should be saved by having ab sorbents applied as bedding: when it is con venient stables snould be so arrauged as to be drained into pits or tanks. Were every farmer to save what is at present wasted, the inquiry "Where shall I get fertilizers for my ground, that I may have the wherewith to good crops?" would be less frequently heard. —Boston Cultivator, TREES A PROTECTION" TO GARDENS.—A belt of trees on the north and west sides of a garden is valuable as a protection to plants. Flowers, fruit and vegetables couie forward earlier in the spring, where such a protection exists to ward off the cold winds that come from the west aud north. They also mature better in autumn, where snch a shelter exists. The Gardner's Monthly says: We are often astonished at the great differ ence between exposure and shelter. In our own neighborhood, us we write, Salv ia splen dens, Helitrope, Geraniums, etc., are in full bloom in gardens sheltered by trees on the DOrthwest; while not a hundred yards from the one iu our mind's eye, the same flowers are black, and have been for weeks back; and in tL middle of winter, a place surrounded by evergreen belts will be more like a spring scene, than the winters it would be exposed —and the rare and choice trees and shrubs will grow in such sheltered Rpots with vigor, when in other places they can scarcely be made to exist at ail, and are then truly class ed with the half hardy class. Tall trees are not advisable to grow as a protection to gardens, evergreens are better adapted to that purpose. BEST WAY OE CCI.TIYATIM; LARGE ON ■t'AKDs.— Many have found a practical difii culty in ike way of cultivating large orchards with hoed crops when the trees are planted equal distances each way, hy not wanting so much land in those crops and being obliged to cultivate the whole surface while the trees are young. In commencing a forty acre or chard, I have planted a few acres in rows three rods apart one way by one another. Some 01 the advantages of this plan are: With the use of a two-horse plow and cultivator, u space eaen side of the trees more or less ex tended as the roots advance, can be kept clean quite cheaply, and the remaiuiug part of the land is unobstructed for the use of the reaper and mower in gathering crops of grass or grain. Every alternate tree in the row can be an early-bearing variety, to be taken out when they interfere, and for pears it is a good thing to have plenty ot trees after the blight takes its share. By deep plowing on the line where the trees are to be set, and then form something of a ridge with the plow, a deep soil is had to give the trees a start. — 9or Country Gentleman. STRAWBERRIES. —The crop has turned out much better than was expected a month ago. Having set out last year a bed of Russell's Prolific it has proved true to its name. It has produced abundantly, and the berries are of larger general size than any we have ever raised. The quality is fair, hardly equal to the Hovey and inferior to the Triomphe, which latter we consider in point of flavor to be better than any now cultivated. The "Ja cunda," a new variety, we are informed is a poor thing. We are experimenting with a quite new and unknown variety, and shall know something abont it another season. So far as our present experience goes we prefer the Triomphe, Hovey and Russell varieties, and it will be well if people do not allow themselves to be humbugged with new sorts got up by sharp speculators to make a big penny out of them* before their character is established.— Gernuintown Telegraph. Docs.—The Wool-Growers' Association of the State of Ohio, at its recent convention, determined to urge upon the government that a tax be levied on dogs sufficient either to raise a considerable revenue for the govern ment, or materially diminish the number of dogs, or both. The desire to secure the same end, ar ends, is by no means confined to wool growers. The enormous number of useless and bad dogs in the country constitute one of the serious nuisances of the times, and there is nothing we think that will practically re duce the number but such an amount of tax ation as will wake it an expensive business to keep a worthless dog. AH dogs which have no owners when the assessors go their rounds, should be kilted, and a heavy fine imposed upon those who fail to report the number of dogs they possess.— Exchange.

The Grover and Baker Elastic-Stitch sewing Machines are superior to all others for tho follow ing reasons; 1. They sew direct from the spools, and require no rewinding of thread. 2. They are more easily understood aud used, and less liable to derangement than other ma chines. 3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment, a much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stitch made by these machines is much mors urm, elastic, and durable, especially upon articles which require to he washed arid ironed, than any other stitch-. а. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the tiuUer thread is inwrought, is much the most plump and beautiful in us -, and retains this pluii-c iec and beauty even upon articles frequent ly w . oncd and ironed until they are worn out. б. the structure of the seam is such that, though it be cut or broken at intervals of only u few stitches, if vi'.i neither open, run, or ravel, but remains rm and durable. 7. Unlike other mat-bines, these fasten both cads of tho seam by their own operation. 8. Wit hese machines, while silk is used upon tho right r face side of the seam, cotton may be used upon the othe side without lessening the strm ,rh or durability of tho seatn. This can he done on other machine, and is a great saving upon an articles stitched or made up with silk. These machines, in addition to their superior merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute the most beautiful and permanent embroidery aud ornamental work.
