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

than to find .i .isles or weed, dock and thist

clover that we buy at the tores for pure seed.

GREELEY OX AGIIICL LTURE.
At the exhibition of the Bristol county,
Mass.. Agricultural Society, last week,
Horace Greeley delivered the ar.uual ad
dre.- . Mr. Greeley commenced by saying
he had noticed that when a man who was
not a prarti. 1 farm, r undertakes to speak
of evricnl': and he made it a rule to
.-peak of nothing -!-j on such occasions)
be is embarrassed by two considerations:
First, the great mass of the audience do
not believe they can be taught: and second,
they do not believe if they are teachable they
can be taught by the speaker.
Now En n dp. pie cultivate their own
brains and the brains of others also, con
siderably better than they can cultivate the
soil. The deficiency in agricultural educa
te.n is more marked than in the other de
j; u.oiits. and a revival in practical agri
or.;' , •;ch needed. The speaker then
cnt on to state a few points which he
thought needed improvement. The first of
these wa a fundamental reform, in the in
cre:;33 of the area of cur woodlands. Ite
movi tg so many of our forests has caused
a great change in the climate, and our win
ders are now much more severe than in
rormer times. V, c- -hoald at once begin to
reproduce our forests, and when repro
duced tiiey : i;ou •: never he removed again,
ihe trei j should l> thinned out, but at no
time si; ..Id the c-.ttrc :•. .: t.c cut down.
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. Farm, are gencraily divided up
iciotoo many small fields: there are ten
nines ot fence in this State where there
.. u.,i . one. llm would Lave but two
u. ;s. one tor :ie cattle, and another for
fruit, grass : 1 vegetable.:.

was next touched upon, and an improvement

t I'grituhure in New England than it
-Turing POTATOES FOR WINTER.
1. is i .'tea a:, .ter of very great pecuniary
importance lor a farmer to be able to keep
hi- ] 0.n.0 crop until spring. 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. As long as the custom of early i
mark otir _- prevails so generally, ihe j,„„ who
cu.tivate - As new seedlings and stores them
until spring will be likely to pursue a safe
cour. . Ir. i- arc generally enough higher
to pay i ,hc , xtra handling and leave a
margin lor pru'.:;. lhey can be stored upon
the surface of the ground in any dry position
in the same manner as turnips, but this rc
quires much care in covering the pits on ac
c-.ui.t of the extreme w ad er that prevails in
the best potato dist-icts. 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. It i
bus its advantages however in saving carting, !

t ." L tiUita the convenience of the
*' "-' t - COT -ru-.g of straw is thrown
aril earth is pat upon the
.-•raw, making a roof that will shed water and
keep out the frost. When the farmer wishes
to keep h,s potatoes for the spring market,
this „ a good method. Am , thcr way 13 t0
safari b P t °,T : ° eS 111 PhS ' partly be!ow thc
surface, but this.can only be done where the
- is Perfectly drained. 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.

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.
