SKEWS* VriTII WEEDS. C'eauness of the soil depends more upon the trea":;rr.t which cultivated crops recede the latter part of the summer, than upon y thing else. Foul land is one of the great evils of our system of Arming. It does not greatly increase the expense of cultivation, and diminishes the crops, but it gives us foul grain and grass seeds, and thus the evil is perpetuated. It is easy to keep In dim com and all the larger seeus clean, but it it almost impossible to get grass seed clean by any other process than clean cultiva tion, while the land is under the plow. Whatever .-rows iu the meadow is cut . :lh the yaas, and the seeds are i,. VMy mixed. Much of the grain tb is del for seeding has chess or other fo-.i stufi in it, anil nothing is more common than to find .i .isles or weed, dock and thist le mixed in itb the timothy, rod top, and clover that we buy at the tores for pure seed. •Sui h sales are a fraud upon the public, wheth er the man who raises the seed designs it or Few farm -. - have the means of detect ing thecher.' until th-. weeds come op, and bloom *1 h the r.i - it. their meadows.

Much is yet to bo learned in the planting of forest trees, and some practical hints in relation to this v. "re given by the speaker. The i xt great improvement needed is .1: increase of the area of the land we have under cult....:ion by the draining of our swamp lands, so called, for it should be comprehended by farmers that the land obtained in this way is the best land that they cm i •••>. The bogs of New Eng :inl are a tr,:ne cf untold wealth, lor when properly drained they can be cultivated . :ei y annual and steam j „*er than any other, and rot enuer.tly a greater profit is rcaHzul.

Many made . ij uaiidscmc .-am3 by pursaing this course, the past season. Potatoes were bought last tad tor fifty cents a bushel, and those in good order were sold very generally in spring for two dollars.

It is not uocom- • men iQr the ear.h to freeze two feet deep, j and tbe raising of a mound wfth walls of that ! thickness over potatoes is a great labor.

There is not much dii.vrence m the labor involved, or in tbe se curity ot the crop against frost. Farmers living near ports, who wish to ship their po tatoes in the winter, build cheap vaults or cel lars in hill sides, that will hold from 500 to 1-300 bushels. The vault has a window and shoot arranged for tipping in a cartload at a time, and a door is upon the south end for taking the potatoes oat. In New Jersey and on Long Is land it is quite common to storp potato® in the house or Barn cellar, to bt' ready lor market at any time when the prices suit. Immense quantities are stored by deal ers in the city of New York, mostly in bar rels, but sometimes in bulk. In cellar stor- . age straw should be thrown over them to keep out the iight. This crop keens best, away from the air, in darkness, and at a low temperature, a few degrees above freezing. That method is best which secures these con ditions most perfectly, with the least labor and with the least expense.— A merican Ay. ricul! urisl. A GLASS young men ought to break—the beer glass.

Farmer# will ple look at the great advantage in Thrashing Grain with GEWERS' PATENT BELF-RRGITI \ TING GRAIN SEPARATOR, CLEANER AND BAGGER, ' With the latest Improved Tripple-Geered Horse Power, driven either by Gear or Belt thV c * e ' f?ht , hor ' e with east iron thresher frame and wrought iron and wood evlin. der sixteen inches in diameter and thirty-three inches long- Tronk has ten inch rake crank and seven rakes is thirty-five inches wide, and deliv era the straw on the second rake, these carry the straw out on their tops, and deliver It on the stack t.t. which will deliver about thirty five feet beyond the feeder, on a suck fifteen to eighteen feet nigh, and can be easily managed to carry the chaff with the straw, or deliver it in a sepa rate place. The trunk and fan sides being closed to confine the straw and chaff, remedies all diffi culties in cleaning grain against windy weather. It bags the grain by reasonable management, suf ficiently clean for market, and its capacity, under ordinary circumstances, is from twenty to forty bushels per hour, using eight horses and the same number of hands; out to force the work andcr favorable circumstance, it will thresh from forty to fifty bushels per hour, and with more case and agrceableness to baDds than any other machine now in common uee. The No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer's use: in intending to apply to anv common lever or railway power; weighs 1,300 pounds: has an iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 12J inches in diameter and 28 inches long; delivers the clean grain in bags, or if desired, in a half bushel. It delivers the straw fifteen feet from the feeder, or if desired, can deliver the straw and chaff togeth er; will thresh and clean, in good grain, ready for market, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat, or from 300 to 500 bushels of oats per day, using four or si* horses, and the same number of bands; but to force the work, under most favorable circum stances, good grain, 4c,, will thresh and clean considerable more. The Machine will thresh and clean ali kinds of grain generally threshed with the common machine, and requires no more horse power, but in many cases does not run so hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail way power. Now here is what the Farmer and thresherman wants, a Separator to go from farm eo farm, to thrash grain, with more satisfaction than any other separator now in use, and why is it? Be cause this separator has a self reguhiring Blast, which prevents grain from blowing intcthe chaff, and also has a self regulating feeder o feca toe cleaner and it has rullers and combs the clean er which prevent* it from choaking. ft by does this machine run eo light, and give so little trou ble? Because there is less friction in the .Tonr nals, and the rakes and fan are geared so that you have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping, causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why does it clean agaiust the wind? Because the blast has direct action on the grain and theecleaner is so well arranged that the wind hsS no chance to drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built permanently on two wheels and the front car riage separate, ready to attach when necessary? Because it is more convenient in the barn without the front carriage. You can turn the machine or run it from place to place more easily. Why has it not got Elevators like some other machines? Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter nately into the cleaner which must eventually go into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know, that filth should be kept separate for feed, 4c., we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex pect to get the grain clean. Why is this separa tor more cleaner and satisfactory to work about than others ? Because the Fan and Trunk Sides are closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust trom coming out and scattering over the floor, causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt and sore eyes, 4c. Why do Threshermen get more work with these separators th%n they do with others? Because this separator has all these advantages and many more, which makes it a separator suitable and a paying one for all farmers and TbrashermeD that hare grain to thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must suit themselves to the machine, because the machine will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, this is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and most agreeable to work about and the only separ ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently clean for market under ail circumstances. Farmers can rest assured that this machine is no humbug, and judging from the high recom mendation of farmers that are using them, we must come to the conclusion that it is the rery Machine that farmers want and will have as soon as they have an opportunity to appreciate and attest its merits, for which we hope they will give us an opportunity, as we are willing to be respon sible if it does not perform as represented in this Circular. Shop prices of Machines range from $215, to $540. J£ff~We warrant the machines to be as above represented; also against any reasonable defects of material workmanship, 4c. DANIEL GEISER, Proprietor.
