Olippiugs and Comments. Our implement manufacturers should devise a machine that would drop a kernel of corn every three inches and sow concentrated fertilizers ut the same time.— llural New Yorker. While they are about it, they might just as well make one that may be ad justed to drop the corn at any dis tance from one to eighteen inches. In truth what the average farmer wants is a machine that will sow and plant all kinds of sets), from timothy, broad cast, to corn in rows from three to four feet apart, and at any distance in the row within the above limits. There is no good reason why we should be compelled to have two or three sorts of planters or drills on the same larin and not have use for any one of them more than three or four days in a year. Surely it is not beyond the much-boasted skill and ability of our American mechan ics to construct a single machine that will do the planting of all the farm crops, livery farmer tuu*t have noticed cat tie chewing bone*, pieces of wood, etc. This comes from some disarrangement of the functions, and need* correcting. For this purpose it i said that wood ashes is good.— Firm .1 urnaf. Try again. Wood ashes won't do. Our own cattle have daily access, the year round, to a mixture of eight quarts salt and four quarts wood ashes, with a double handful of flower of sulphur stirred through it: and yet there is not one of thetn that docs not munch a bone with the greatest pleasure and gusto whenever oppor tunity oilers.

Weed Killing and Weed Cnlture. In it* Trll>un#. All you say alxut eradicating red root (pigeon weed—wheat thief— Lithospcrmuin arvense) is true in cases where winter wheat is raised by the old-fashioned summer fallow. \\ hile we raised wheat in that way I l If tin- ground in foul, we plough it twice between the harvest of tlie spring crop and the Mowing of the wheal, ami one other tool* besides the plough to cauHe the seeds of weeds to grow, and to kill foul stulf. The season between barley harvest and wheat-sowing is usually the liest in all the year to kill weeds, and if the time is well employed much can be done then in the way of cleaning the land. Among the bad weeds the red-root is destroyed. It came up in the spring crop, but had not time to mature its seeds before harvest and the ploughing and harrowing which came immediately after. Sometimes we plough a clovcrlield once, and sow to w heat; in such cases, the red root will appear in the wheat next summer, if there is red-root seed in the ground. We are not much troubled in this way, as our method of raising spring crops of grain ami following on their stubbles with win ter wheat has so subdued this pest that we pay but little attention to it now. Tillering of Wheat. C. E llowwa, in (be fViuntrji i#* nIN ni'-n I have been much interested in reading the articles of Mr. Mount, and other of your correspondents, upon the "tillering of wheat," and though 1 am fully in accord with Mr. Illount, not only in regard to tiller ing, but also of thin sowing (my own experiments leading me to the same conclusions), I have nothing to add to what has been written, thinking that enough of a character which ought to be conclusive has been said, but the discussion of that topic re minds me of an occurrence, the state ment of which may provoke other and farther thought and experiment relating to the matter, and prove of service and benefit in other ways. A few years ago, a severe wind and hail storm passed over a portion of Onondaga and Madison counties early in .Inly, at which time the wheat had headed out, and the lx*r ry was fully in milk. The hail-stones were literally chunks of ice, of all shapes and sizes, some of them living five inches long, aid from one to two inches in diameter. The storm not only denuded t.. s of their foliage, I MIL stnp|M-d young fruit trees of their bark—not merely the trunk and larger branches, but the smaller ones also. Trees were uprooted and build ings unroofed, moved from their foundations and blown down ; cattle exposed to its fury were so lacerated that blood by the handful could be scooped from their backs. The wheat straw was broken in small pieces and laid flat, not one being b it standing, and in two or three • lavs afterward it was almost entire ly bleached out; corn and oats were pounded out of the ground, and the fields looked as though they had not I wen | Tinted or sown. Never to my sight was devastation so complete*. Many farmers immediately plowed up their fields, sowing buckwheat or corn, or planting Borne early variety of potatoes; but some who had seed ed, and were ho|>eful that the seeding would survive, and some for other reasons (not having time or seed in some cases), suffered them to remain as the storm had left them. To the suprise of every one aware of the fact*, the wheat roots in the fields thus left sent out new blades, which, in due time, were crowned wiih full sized and well filled ears, most of the owners reaping as good a harvest (one farmer told me that he thought his was better) as the first wotdd have l>een, if it had not leen destroyed. The harvest was only three or four weeks later than the usual time. You may have publish ed this fact at the time of its occur rence, but if so, it may not bo amiss to call attention to it again, in view of the discussion on "tillering," and if nut, it is of such a singular char acter, and so contrary to what would Is* regarded as among possible things, that is worth relating, as it will doubt less surprise many of your readers, ind, it may be, profit them also. Buccess in Wheat Growing. }'rm the A inert'an A(Ooiltartat. Mr. D. 8. Curtisa in his new work on "Wheat Culture," concludes by saying: "Highest success in Wheat growing involves and presumes skill ful and intelligent management in other parts of farming, so that lie who uniformly secures su|>orior re sults with wheat and does not impov erish his land or soil cannot well lie other than a good farmer, able to se cure profitable results in all other farin operations. Hence to become an eminent wheat-grower is to become a complete farmer." Mr. Curliss knows of what he speaks as he has had a wide experience in wheat cul ture. Top-Dreuing Meadows. A a soon as the first cut of grass is made, an application of well-rotted, finely divided manure may be made with very profitable returns. The manure protects the exposed surlacea of the base of the grass plants from the heat of the aun, and furnishes the necessary nourishment to the roots of the plants. A new growth la soon produced, making the land profitable either aa a pasture or for a lecond mowing. LIMR should be harrowed, not plowed in. A few Items for Wheat Growers. From good seeds only can good crops grow. flood tillage, with a dozen two horse loads of good yard manure |x*r acre, will give good wheat if you only drill three pecks of wheat |>er acre. The washing of the seed wheat to avoid smut is to be commended. A solution of bluestonc of the strength ol one pound to a gallon water is used by many. Others use a strong brine, and some dust air-slacked lime over the seed, which are previously moistened. "Wheat land that gets the benefit of sun and rain for a few weeks be fore sowing time invariably produces a Ixjtter crop than that which is ploughed up and sown immediately.
