Professors of chemistry and heads of agricultural eollegai in Lire several States are expected to-give valuable information through the agricultural press, and it will be exieedintly instructive, if they should tell us, the farmers of Ole State; how and when to apply fertilizers so as to make it pay to use them. It is thought it will pay to buy some kind of stimulant for about one- hundred acres of meadow land lying in a valley, but is not decided what fer- tilizers to obtain and as chmists who teach in State institutions ought to know all about such matters, the writer will give an outline of partilulars. In the valley there is a brook which once or twice each spring overflows a por. Lion of the meadows, and there are warner ous springs which run freely is April and May, but which dry up in the summer. There is some very high moutain land on each side of the valley and iron is suppos ed to lie in great quantities in the heart of the vast hills on both sides, and as even in the valley there are great quantities of roekit and , loose stones andgravel, it may be that some brands of Oosphate, etc., weed tot bo of Ditch use, as iron proba bly, would neutralize their effects There is a good variety of grass prowing, and if it &tad be obtained on a moderate freight, - etc., 20 tons ofgood farm-yard manure per sem i to the whole mass ; '• daltnbt Se lad here, and the soil is poor because the hay has bem taken off for nearly twenty years and no return made. This autumn, in consequence ofslrought and the exhaustion of the hold, the cattle have eaten the grass very short and it is to be feared the whole herbage will be weak in the spring. Now the idea is that some suitable chemical application would strengthen the whole mass of weak h,rb age, so that by better usage hereafter the blue grass, cloVer, red top, etc , would not die out and manure could then be period. ically spread so as to keep up a good state of fertility. The information sought is what kind of artificial manure will answer the purpose best, and if these gentlemen would recom mend a manure giving particulars and stat ing why such an article would tell better than any other, they would * benefit and oblige not only the man who applies for the information, but a large number of the great body of agriculturists.—.R Working Farmer in Rural 'Yea; Yorker. Better Times. From the American Agriculturist.] " We are rapidly approaching better times. Already business is improving and there is a promise of an era of prosperity. Al though "the melancholy days" of autumn are come, everything conspires to encour age us. We have kad a fine season for folliti.pgittnd our grain.kas gone into ground in the best condition. The farm work is generally ahead, and every farmer is busy. Circumstances generally have greatly tendered to make farmers • contented with their position They !lave been taught, that the farm is a secure haven in times of business storm and dis turbance. that the profits of farming, if not large, are safe and certain. In Neva da, where farms and gold and silver mines lie contiguous to each other, it is the farmer who makes the greater profit, for it is prov ed by the statistics of the State, that the capital invested in farms yields a better and more regular return, than 41oes that employed in the mining the precious met als. For one'paying gold mine, there are fifty that either do not pay, or that totally ruin the owners. On the contrary, there is not one farm that does not pay a fair return, and many that pay richly for good management. The time is past, for another long period, when there will be so much talk about "the boys leaving the farm." They cannot find a better place, and hun• dreds of young men are now leaving the cities to go upon farms. Comfort and happiness will, as in the past, dwell with the frugal and industrious, and in the his of the world the most notable in stances of private and public virtue, have been found amongst those whose lives have been simple, unpretentious, and bbc—lous. The first battle of the Republic was fought by farmers, and its great sustaining power will always consist of the farmers first, who are the most numerous class of citizens, and after them the intelligent trrtisans, meehanies, and other industrious workers. There are bthirr elniiseS. who Ire equally useful, but being in a et:it minerity, thus exert a less influence. Bat the flirmer who fends AC world, an drilsiiseriiilin latitise and clothe it, lutist aiwitys:exert a pre pronderating inllimnee in proportion to the intelligence they possess, and the skill with which they perform 'their several labors. Care of Harness. Take neats foot oil and ivory black—the, latter well pulverized, or to be made so be fore mi:ag. Mix thoroughly—adding the black until the oil is well colored, or quite black. In cool weather the oil should he warmed somewhat before mixing. With a sponge apply a light coat of the mixture —only.what the leather will readily absorb, unless the harness is very dry—in which case a heavy coat may be necessary. After the harness is dry—which will be in from two hours to a half or whole day, depend ing upon the weather and previous condi tion of the leather, wash thoroughly with soap suds. In making the suds use castile soap and cold rain water. (Warm water should never be used on harness leather). Apply the suds with a sponf.e, Ruh off with buckskin. This will give your harness a nice glossy surface, and the leath er will retain a good color and centinue pliable for months. If it becomes soiled with mttd or sweat, an_ application of soap and water, as above directed (without oil. ing) will be sufficient to keep harness, as ordinarily used, in good order.

Who is it that has so wise and watchful an eye for the capacities of little people, and the tastes of bigger out-s, preyiding for each, planning. fur tiny par,cs with almost noth ing in them, as well as wallets stuff ed with baulk bilis, an;: suggesting some thing which can he neide.aceepteiand en joyed by evervbedy, ;urge and small, all the wide world over ? Who can 4W - that poQsesses this inexhaustible fertility of in vention and kit — tdit'es - s - a — heartli No or• dinary human being, you may be sure.— Not Father Santa Claus! lie has enough to do with distributing the presents after they are made; besides, fancy-work is not in a man's line,—not even a saint's ! Bat what so likely as that he should have a mate, and that it is to her we are indebted for all this? What an immense work basket Mother Santa Claus's must be ! What a glancing thimble and swift needle and thread ! Can't you imagine her ' throwina- ' aside her seiss.ns and spool-bag to help the dearsaint "tackle up" and load the sledge ? And who knows but she sits • behind as he drives over the roofs of the universe on the blessed eve, and holds the reins while Santa Claus dispmses to favored chimneys the innumerable pretty things which he and she have chucisled over to gether months and months befiire the rest of us knew anything about them ? This is tot a fact. It can't be proved in any way, fur none of us knows anything about the Santa Clauses or their abode. There is no telegraphing, or writing to the selectmen of their town to inquire about them; they haven't even a past-office ad dress. But admitting it to be a fiction, it is surely a pleasant one; so, afs the'ehildren I say, "Let's play that it is true," and pro ceed to see what. Mother Santa Claus has in her basket Ihr us this year.. We will first pull out some easy things for the benefit of little beginners who are not yet up to all the tricks of the needle ; then some a little harder fin- the more advanced class; and, at bottom of all, big girls not afraid to dive will find plenty of elaborate designs suited to their taste and powers. A WALL LETTER HOLDER. This is something which quite a little boy could make. Cut out three pieces of thin wood, a foot long by six incher wide; smooth and sand-paper two of them, bore a hole in each corner and in the middle of one side, and fasten them together with fine wire, cord, ribbon, or the small brass pins which are used for holding manu scripts. The pieces should be held a little apart. Cut ene end of the third piece into some ornamental shape, glue it firmly to the back of one of the others, and sus pend it from the wall by a hole bored in the top. It will be found a useful thing to hold letters or pamphlets. A clever boy could make this much handsomer by cutting a pattern over the front, or an ini tial, or monogram, or name in the middle. The wood should be oiled or shellacked. SHOE CASES. These easr.:s are meant to take the place of paper when shoes are to be wrapped up to go in a trunk. They are made of brown crash, bound with red worsted braid. One end is pointed so as to turn over and but ton down, or the top has strings over the braid to tie the mouth up. There should be three or four made at a time, as each holds but one pair of shoes; and you will find that mamma or your unmarried aunts will like them very much. A NEW KIND OF CHRISTMAS-PIE Nothing can be droller than to hang up one's stockings, and nothing prettier or more full of meaning than a Christmas tree. But for some of you who may like to make a novelty in thesa time honored ways, we will just mention that it is good fun to make a "Christmas pie" in an enor mous tin dishpan, with a make-believe crust of yellow cartridge paper, ornament ed with twirls and flourishes of the same, held down with pins, and have it served on Christmas Eve, full of pretty things and sugar-plums, jokes and jolly little rhymes fastened in the parcels. The cut ting should be done beforehand, and hid den by the twirls of paper ; but the carver can pretend to use his knif.7 and fork, and spooning out the packages will insure a merry time for all at table. And one more suggestion. Little articles, wrapped in white paper, can be put inside cakes, bak ed and iced, and thus furnish another amusing surprise for the "pie" or the Christmas tree.—St. Nicholas. 110:/.."ZW0RTIi&ETNIE*.,;_, SPECIALTIES !
