farmer's gtpadnuut. Spreading Manure—Mulching. After Harvest, one of the first and most im portant operations on the farm requiring at tention, is the hauling of manure, and prepara tion of the ground for wheat Practical farm ers differ much on these ] ci ts, some recommend ing but a single plougi in/, others ploughing twice, some spreading but a small portion of their manure at a time, and ploughing it down as soou as possible to prevent loss by evapo ration, others preferring to spread it early and allow it to lay exposed to the hot sun. Upon inquiring of this latter class, and quite a numer ous one too, they have replied to us, as a reasou for their doing so " that the manure is sour and the sun sweetens it. We have repeatedly heard cases cited of experiments tried side by side, in one ease of manure being ploughed down as soon as jtossible, and in the other of lettiiv it be exposed for weeks, to the atmos phere, and the wheat on the latter proved far heavier, other circumstances being the same. Practical results, are the best tests of the soundness of any theory. They are what farm ers most cure for, who are right too in reject ing all scientific explanations, not confirmed by their own experience, or which is disproved by their constant practice. Still the saddle should be put on the right horse. The failure or suc cess of any operation on the farm, must be traced to its true cause. It is hardly doing justice to the patient explorer of the arcana of nature to interrupt his chain of inductive reasoning, by attributing results to causes with which they have no connexion whatever, and then exclaim against book farming. In the case of an alleged benefit, from exposure of manure to the surface, the result is truly attributable not to the manure " being sweetened," by the hot sun, hut to the mulching or coj ering of the surface of the grouud, and which would have been produced equally by dry straw, hav, shavings. At least this has always beeuour opinion. Barnvard manure may lose its most valuable ammoniacal constituents, by exposure, and evaporation, but it cannot possibly gain any thing. The theory if it proves anything, proves too much. Were it true, instead of keeping our manure under sheds, covering with straw or earth to preserve aud absorb its valuable juices, we should be continually turn ing it over so as to expose every portion to evaporation and thus entirely get rid of the " souruess.'' This we all know is opposed to the practice of every good farmer. Mulching the sourness of the ground, with a view to fertilize it, is pursued in England, as a regular system, under the title of Gurneyism. In this country we know but little about it, excepting as an application around trees, strawberry beds but in so changeable a climate as ours, fhere is uo doubt it would often be found very valu able. Warning in his Elements, says the improve ment from mulching arises : " 1. The evaporation of water from the soil is prevented during drought by the shade afforded by the mulch ; and it is therefore kept iu better conditiou, as to moisture and temper ature, than when evaporation goes on more freely. This condition is well calculated toad vance the chemical change necessary to prepare the matters —both organic and mineral iu the soil for the use of plants. 2. By preventing evaporation, we partially protect the soil from losing ammonia resultant from decaying organic matter. 3. A heavy mulch breaks the force of rains, and prevents them from compacting the soil, as would be the result, tvere no such precaution taken. 4. Mulching protects the surface-soil from freezing as readily as when exposed, and thus keeps it longer open for the admission of air and moisture. When unprotected, the soil early becomes frozen ; and all water falling, instead of entering as it should do, passes off the surface. 5. The throwing out of winter grain is often preveuted, because this is due to the freezing of the surface-soil. 6. Mulching prevents the growth of weeds, because it removes from them the fostering heat of the sun. Many of the best nursery-men keep the soil ahout the roots of young trees mulched con tinually. One of the chief arguments for this treatment is, that it prevents the removal of the moisture from the soil and the consequent loss of heat. Also that it keeps up a full sup ply of water for the uses of roots, because it keeps the soil cool, aud causes a deposit ot dew. 7. It also prevents the " baking" of the soil, or the formation of a crust/' In England they often remove the mulch from field to field, and consider that it pays well for the expense. We have entire faith from our own experience in mulching the surface of the ground, for several of our crops, besides its more custom ary application, around the trunks of trees but we have no confidence whatever in exposing manures to evaporation, or allowing their juice? to drain away, for want of protection aud covering.— Farm Journal. GRASS FIELDS. —It is often a serious los when fields, in wheat the previous season, and seeded down with a view to remain in grass foi several years, prove on examination, that the grass either from dry weather or other causes has very imperfectly taken. The usual rota tion, which requxes each field to be plowed in its turn, or as it may be required, is seriously interfered with by such a mishap. In these ca;c? we would advise a few quarts of grass seed to be sown to the acre on the surface, while the frosts of spring have left it sompara tivcly open, and when the ground becomes dry enough, pass over the roller. This will cover the seed, and very often cause it to grow and vegetate beautifully, avoiding the necessity ol plowing up the field.— Pa. Farm Journal. BREAKING STEERS. —An effectual and speedy mode of breaking steers, is to use a yoke long enough to hold four bows at suitable distances. But a strong steady yoke of oxen on the ou f side, and the steers inside, treat them gently and do not use the whip nor goad, and you will soon have the young as well broken as tin old.

HALSEYS' FOREST WINE —The discovery of the FOREST WINK is the greatest bles sing of the age. Put ii|> in Quart Bottles, a single bottle of which does more good, and goes further in the cure of Disease, than tan bottles of any Sarsaparilla in use, and warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening effect. The method by which all Sarssaparillas, and other simi lar medicines ar-- prep a red. is by toiling the Roots of plants to obtain the extracts. Their modi dual virtues are thus principally evaporated and destroyed. It is not to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 20 bottles of these Snrsaparillus are sometimes taken without any perceptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine.— By tiie invention of a wonderful ehemical apparatus, a per fect wine is produced without beating : retaining, at the same time, ail the primitive healing properties of the rare medicinal plants of which it is composed, thus rendering the Forest Wine the most efficient medicine the world ever produced, at the same time time the most agreeable. TESTIMONY. This is to certify, uiat I have used Dr. Halsey's Forest Wine in my family with the most entire success. My wife was badly afflicted with Neuralgia, affections of the Spine and Kidneys, and general Debility. She found speedy re lief, and regained her health by the use of the Forest Wine. From my own knowledge of this excellent medicine. I confidently recommend it for the good of others who may be suffering from similar complaints. It is the best medi cine with which I am acquainted, and those who are afflic ted with the above, or any similar disease, inav safely re ly 011 its virtues. E. (J. MUSSKY. MORE TESTIMONY FROM CO HOES. DR. G. W. HALSKT—Dear Sir : My wife last autumn was reduced to a low state of Debility. My family physician advised her to take your Forest Wine. Accordingly 1 went to Mr. Terry's, your agent in this town, and procur ed a bottle of it, which restored her in a very short time to perfect health. Cohoes, April 13,1850. TIENIIY DONALDSON. DREADFUL COUGH. DEBILITY, AND LOSS OF AI'FETITE. DR. H AI.SK v: Hempstead, Dec. 1, 1547. A lwittle of your Forest Wine and box of Pills, which I procured of James Carr, (your agent for this place.) lias done wonders for me. I had I ecu in a state of decline for more than a year, afflicted with a dreadful cough, pain in the hreast, general debility, and loss of appetite, t be came almost a skeleton, and had been unable to leave my room for more than two months: my friends told me "l had the Consumption and despaired of my recovery. 1 could not obtain any permanent relief from any medicine I had taken, or my physician, until your Wine and Pills were procured. The first dose of the l'llls brought up from my stomach, much plilcm and greenish matter, and my stools were perfectly black. 1 then commenced taking your Forest Wine three times a day, my appetite began to return immediately, my cough left me, and in less than two weeks I was almost well. I now enjoy better health than 1 ever did before, ha ving increased twenty-five pounds in seven weeks. Your Forest Wine and Pills are highly valued in this vicinity, and 1 owe my recovery entirely to their virtues. * Yours, respectfully, MARTIN" CALDWELL. AFFECTIONS OF THE KIDNEYS. Mr. T. J.
