Dotlge, the statistician < of the agricultural department, has just completed preliminary estimates of the principal crops of j.ho country for the year IHR.'I, which are to lie ; printed as a special report for Dec. j They show that potatoes, as well as j all other roots and oats, have grown ' luxuriantly and yielded abundantly. The average yield of corn per acre for the present year, Mr. Dodge say a, is nearly L' 3 bushels or, more exactly, I by preliminary estimate's *_'2.7, which is 12 percent, less than the average yield for a series o f years, or 1 1,- 0iiG,835 bushels. This stands for the quantity of the present crop. The quality, he say*, is another consider ation. If soft corn is cribbed in masses, and after a few weeks of mild i and moist weather is badly injured or even spoiled, it dot* not change tlm fact that the corn was go WII and harvested. It is doubtless true that ' the quality of corn north of the | r.r allel of I• i degrees is worse than f r many Jiar*, Increasing practically I the amount of shortage indicated l \ the nuniis r of bushels. As the wh< I<- of the corn grown in l'-V, in Michi gan, Wisconsin, Minnes ta and Da kola, added to half of that rown in i Hiio, Indiana, Illinois, low , and N i • lira ka, would maki P b,0.M,(0 tioiily, r\ fourth of the whole crop, a |*o. i b!c di preeiution of 0 11 r cent, in nil of it wtuill !o cqnit lent to lu per cent, reduction in the \ due of the entire crop. Our Illinois agent makes the quantity 13 |K r cent, less than an average in that State. An effort will l>c made later, after the wont of the crop h s l-. n fed. to tet the Ceding vu.ue of the year* product. It is not propo-.-d, bowt-vi r, to reduce the product to an t p.iva letit of "merchantable i rn " or "sourt! corn,'' as no < rop • vet is fne from immaturity and imperfection. , J ' i rherc an- a!*si s some norttier n fit ids e e a . . . igM by fn-t, <"ti.i, : i g.c'id ar . some choked with weeds or fl >oss. Applying Sand to Qroaa Land. Those who have meadow land that has been drained and aeeded down to the better qualities of grasses, often find it necessary to apply a dressing of sand ; experience teaching that it very much improves the condition of the grass roots and increases the crop of grass; sometimes quite as much as a dressing of manure. The reason why this is so, few stop to inquire. Tho application of sand to a mead ow often accomplishes a double pur pose. First, it lightens up the soil and gives the water a chance todrain oir, and second, it furnishes silica to the grass, which is necessary to ; strengthen the stulk. Meadow land tbst is composed en tirely of partially decomposed vege table material, settles together souie -1 times so closely that water will not j 'readily pass through it, except in j small streams. This is very unfavor- ■ able to the growth of any crop that the farmer may desire to grow. l!n- I less there are numerous passageways . for troth air and water, the roots of 1 plants fail to get the material neccs- I sary for their growth. In reclaiming meadow land thefirst ' effort is to drain off the surplus j water: ditches are dug low enough I to draw the water, perhaps two feet below the surface; but if the mead- i ow Ire composed entirely of decayed vegetation, advanced to just that stage which makes it so compact that tin- water can not pass through it, for some time after the ditches arc dug the water ftils to readily drain off, except near the hanks of the ditches.

In another iustnncc the *■ mo sort grafted on an unfavorable stock, grew badly and gave poor fruit. Several other exam pic*, quoted from English practice, gave various results, some succci-'-ful and others unfavorable. Experi ments of this sort are interesting. ! and if extensively performed may I lead to valuable results. Some fruits ' arc considerably affected in quality by the stocks on which they arc worked, but the identity of the varie ty is always maintained ; in the same way that good and bad soils or cul ture will affect the quality without 1 changing the sort I I -1 I 11. 1 ' WHAT DRAINAOI DOKH —The late John H. Klippart condenses the ad ' vantages oi tile drainage under the ' following twelve beads : I. The drainage removes stagnant waters from the surface. 1 2. It removes surplus water from under Ibe surface. 3. It lengthens the seasons. 4. It deepens the aoil. 6. It warm* the aoil. 1 ft. It equalixcs the temperature of the aoil during the season of growth. 7. It carries down soluble anb r stances to the roots of plants. > 8. It prevents "heaving out" or t "(reesing out" 9. It prevents injury from drought. 10. It improves the quality and i quantity of the crop. 11. It increases the effects of ma nures. 12. It prevent* rust in wheat and rot In potatoes Gloamings. A correspondent in the Farrier's Home Journal says: "The cold frame ii the beat possible appliance for forcing early cabbage and, used tho : Ist of February, the beet for toma toes. For the latter about six inclus of fresh manure (stable) should be placed at the bottom of the bed. Covered with glass or strong, heavy brown cotton with oil on it, the seed will vegetate very* rapidly and the plants grow well. On extra cold days and nights cover the bed with suaw, hay, old carpet or anything else Oive sunshine on all clear days." No farm should be without Its ice house. Not only is ice indispensable in the absence of a cool spring bouse i in summer for having nice milk and butter, but for keeping all kinds of I fresh meats, fish, etc. Itut in cutting ice during the winter remember that . water in freezing does not free itself from impurities. Better gather no ice ' than store impure ice. The culture of fruit will pay you a | hundred-fold in uealth and enjoyment, and make your home, small though it ' may be, large in the bounties which nature will provide. Cultivate the corn not only to mel i low the soil but also to make it un neccaaary that the plants sbbuld share their food with weeds. The richer the "keep"' of live stock the richer the manure. A pile of good manor*; is not, therefore, to be had from a half-starved herd. A farmer who has tested five differ ent varieties of peas, according to the catalogue from which he made his (diction* lat spring, now finds that there is not the slightest difference in any of them. In earlinc-sa, manner of growth, height of plant, length of pods, number of peas in a pod—in fact, in every particular, the alleged different varieties proved to be one and the same. The farmer thus vic timized pertinently ft-k l -: ' Have Mad men the right to give new and catch ing names to old varieties and to l>c wilder and mi'lead the public by of fering the same article under Are dif ferent names ?"—.V. A> j oner. Veal should lw while, fine and fat. The ki Ineys should he full of fat. When veal is red.or yellowish it is not •O' d. ck of sheep is to take a owe lamb to tho house and make a pel of it lsc nothing b it kindness, and give it a name, teaching it to come at the call. When the lamb is grown, place it ip the flock and you will need only to call that one sheep, when all the oth ers w.ll follow. As sheep follow their leader the training of one is the train ing of all, and it is a saving of time and labor to do so. FHOST IN THE Cr l.i.An—While it is true that all kinds of fruit and vegetables will keep belter in a cellar with the temperature as near freezing as may lie without injury, it is also desirable that there be proper protec tion afforded to prevent the entrance of frost when there is a season of protracted and severe cold. Without some protection, at such times frost is liable to enter unawares, and do much mischief to both fruit and vege tables. In olden times it was be lieved to be necessary to "bank up tbc house" with earth, but this prac tice baa way to one equally as effective and much easier, and that is by the use of leaves. Set boards r or planks up on their edges, a little distance from the underpinning, sup ported by stakes driven in the ground, and thrn cover all the intervening .' space as compactly as poesble with leaves, and all the protection neces sary wilt be afforded. If the cellar ' becomes too warm at any time the temperature can be reduced by ven tilators when cold weather la s;v. preaching, rather than to take cbutcea without protection.—,V. K.
