Fall and Winter Surface Manur ing. 1 -r, "f fa 1(1! nlrt linltli'U l'rolit in fanning depends, in S1 great degree, upon the most t cuiiom ical mi'til Oil of having and uning Inunyiwd manure*. Not until nil tin narii-yurd manure is carefully navcil nul judiciously used, is the grain ♦ii' 1 grans-growing farmer justified in purchasing commercial fertilizers even an aids, unless hy experiment lie 11 rat ascertains whether nome special plant food, such an phosphoric aeitl, or other needed nuhstnncc, has hr-en removed from the anil by n jo dicioua cropping. In using barnyard inniur- as a top-dressing for the growing wheat crop, it should not he forgotten that ! they are equally a beneficial in pio ; u-eliiig it and insuring a good \ all h" and vigorous growth of clover in the Spring. Ihe best results will follow the application of the manure early enough ill the season to cause the wheat plants to make a vigorous full growth ; nl.hough if applied Is fore the Autumn raina have fallen, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the re - sult will, as a rule. Is: exceedingly satisfactory. A method of manuring adapted to some soils and localities may not la the last in others. Nevertheless whenever the soil is well fitted with grass or grain roots, the direct ad vantage of fall top-.li. s-mg f.,r the first, and winter to|-drcs*ing for the latter, ss a source of profit, is nr.* iucstionablc.

In such easi s loss is sure to result- If the surface, i however, compar atively level, and the inanui. has pt. . viously liein applied broailcast on the unfrozen ground, the soil will usually lieeome thawed to a sutllcii nt depth to absorb the liquid manure. If manure is hauled out ami put upon the land preparatory to being plowed early in the Spring, and the ground is frozen at the time the manure is put ii|Min the ground. Care should then be taken, not only that the manure lie spread evenly, but that none bo allowed to remain where the heaps stood. An advan tage of applying barn yard inanuii in this way is that the soluble mutter will lie carried down by the rains into the soil, where the rootlets will feed upon them at the very la-ginning of their growth in the Spring. 1 nder favorable rircumstances it may be sit down as a rule that ma nure, when nearly or wholly rotted, ia much more efficacious in increas ing the yield of the first crop grown on soil lands, if applied broadcast in the fall, than when drawn from the yard and plowed under in the Spring The bineßcial effects of surface manuring where but little snow falls, and where the soil freezes to but lit tle depth, has la-en underestimated Soil u|aui which manure has | H) -n spread and laid during the winter not only breaks up more easily, but is in Irettercondition togr-iw' a largecrop; if the season be a dry one, than when the manure Is plowed in.

The question always uppermost with the Pastern farmer, gsnlner or fruit grower is, which is the licst and cheapest manure to biy ? And this I isj especially *o with the small fruft grower, who U not usually n farmer with stock to supply him with ma nures. Good stable manure, where the horses or cattle have; been grain- fed, is undoubtedly the be-t manure to buy, if it ean be hid at 3 reasonable price, as it contains ail the elements necessary for feeding p irf>oc, pro vided it has not been allowed to over beat, or its soluabb an 1 most valua ble parts evaporated or washed away. I he commercial manor.-). are usually specific ; their manuf tctun rs claim ti.im to be pre pared h i specific crops or purposes; they act with and 011 material already i n the *,i , and when those material are exhausted -.ie specifies I.ui , act, Ih.y never do, and sever .... ,untain all uw parts seceeeery to crops, < oneeqm i.t ly ihcy vv.il fad ; . lii v aame le suits on the land where it has been iiiul year after year. This i-> riot the case with slaOlc (grain ic dy main,re, hence stable manure is the chta|*ai in the end. Tho Bent flotation. I lie chief point in dei ,-.irg what 1 rotation to adopt js to j,-t the | u „,| las frequently a , j into OrOpS that either pay a direct mom v profit or are helpful in restoring fertility. In western New York wheat used to he the great r. in. y crop, vv hid-clovci was and still is tbe crop wbieh molt assists in maintaining fertility. In the olden times, wlieat seeded with clover, and, under modern svstems, clover turned under as a preparation for wheat seeding, has been the pre vailing practice. Such wa not had practice either, and the m;,nv farm ers still follow the same system. In my own practice I have acquired a habit of making ot!,< r ciopa tha wheat my reliance for securing the I beat cash results. This year my net profit* from potatoes an I barley will be considerably more per acre than from wheat. I get nearly twen ty bushels more of harU v jwr acre ~ian from wheat, tin I the market price is little less per bushel. J n fuct, I shall probably ml < msulcra ble for scd 3 t a price rutin r above what I can now g< t f u i wln-at. Excellent Economy Cur f>• v t Mr. (mlde's excellent cnomyof handling the •' tin .. , , I,ut. once drawing directly to f, land and spreading then—is . tn,*. r to the hard old praet. e , f k -;v :IJK several turnings in a three f<>ot tleep pile be fore taking out to t e fields. Two reasonable pleas supported this prac tice—one laing tli elianc- of germ mating and destroying all weed „cc.ls contained in the us, d , tr .,v%- „r hay ; and the other, the hastei.iug of the decomjrosition of the manure, ami so getting a larger return front it in the first season. Bui tins las j usually gained at a great loss ~f the total return ; and as to the wee,! seeds, there are Wttcr, easier and cheaper ways in modern practice of prevent ing or destroying them than by that heaviest and dirtiest of all the old farm processes. With the fine cut ting practiced by Mr. ti. and many others the fresh manure is as divis ible as entire culms are if composted for aw hole season. Look Out for the Sheep. or nil species of farm stock, sheep arc the most likely to lie n glecled si this season of the year. They are not. as a .ulo, brought up int.. the yard at night, as arc the cow*, and there is danger of .heir losing flesh some lime Ih-fore it i* discovered.
