Manuring in the Hill
Tlie secret of success, with the farmer, is to
know how to procure and apply manure. On
the fertile prairies of the .Mississippi Valley,
the. planter need not trouble himself to supply
food for hifi plants. But in New England it
Is far otherwise Without manure, nothing
good can he effee'ed. We may plow and sow
hot cannot reap Ilence the importance of
this subject, iu all its bearings, to the culti
vator.
Of allying manures,there are various modes.
Farmer Oldsehoo! says lie wants the manure
directly underneath "the plant ; therefore, in
planting corn and potatoes, he " dungs in the
hole."
The theory and practice of the new school
goes against this mode. It advocates an equal
distribution, over the whole surface, of all the
nutriment intended for the crops.
We had supposed this question virtually set
tled ; that all " hook farmers," at least, ad
mitted the correctness of the distribution the
ory. But we find it otherwise. In the Con
necticut valley, many, and we believe a large
majority of the farmers, will continue in the
old practice, and these men are ready to give
a reason for the faith that is in them.
1 Having but little manure, they must
economise in the use of it. They cannot afford
to spade it over tlie whole ground, they must
manure for the crop, and not for the land.
2. The plant n 'eds artificial stimulus in the
eurly part of the season. By placing the ma
nure in the hill, an imj ulse is given, which will
last through the whole course.
Not being convinced by these considera
tions, we will give our views of the matter.—
In tlie growth of the plant, the roots keep pace
with the stalk. When the latter is mature,
not an inch of ground, within a distance equal
to the height of the stalk, will be void of roots
or fibres, sent out in pursuit of nourishment for
the plant. If there is nourishment within this
range, it will be taken up and appropriated,
and all the purposes of the plant served us well
certainly, as if tlie whole were concentrated at
a point, answering exactly to the nadir of the
tassel
When the seed first sends onts its radicle,
Its fibres absorb moisture from the substances
with which they come in contact. If it is a
■hovelful of manure, they will revel in that, for
a time. But soon these porous fibres, these
rootlets, become roots and take on a woody
structure, which fits theui to sustain the stalk
with its burden.
These roots, or this portion of the roots, no
longer contain absorbent vessels ; and mo r
tnrc and nourishment nius be obtained, it
nt oil, from abroad. A Shanghai rooster
would be somewhat discommoded by having his
feed placed directly nnder his feet. Not less
m won d the plant be, which has not, like tie
fowl, the power of locomotion. Then to con
centrate nil the nutriment designed for the de
velopment of the plant about the roots, in its
infancy, seems to me much like the giving to a
horse in the morning all the grain intended
for the day. Better let it be administered as
needed.
Manured in the hill, the plant is unduly
stimulated, during the first of the season. Con
sequently it lays out more work than it can
perform. When rearing time comes,the strength
of the plant is exhausted, or what is equiva
lent to it. The absorbents have wandered ii •
to a region where there is no nutriment, con
sequently stalks are abundant, but ears arc
few. Furthermore, in manuring, regard should
be had to the land, to the future crops. Ma
nnring for the crops alone is ruinous policy, im
poverishing alike to the soil and the tiller.
The teamster, who administers stimulating
drinks and a goad to his horse, may secure
more labor for a few hours, but many days of
rest and good feeding will be required to make
good what he has lost.
On a piece of land that has recently come
into my possession, which was in rye last sea-
Bon, and corn the year before, the place of the
hill may be pointed ont, as easily as if the corn
were now standing. Where the hills were is
grass, elsewhere none. Is that good farming?
Much like the policy of him, who fed his pig
one day, and fasted him the next, because lie
liked " a streak of fat, and a streak of lean."
In the use of mineral fertilizers, it may be
advisable, in some cases, to make application
directly to the roots of the plants, but animal
and vegetable manures, and all composts, I
think, tdionld be distributed over the whole
ground, and every farmer who once makes a
fair triul of the spading process, will never
again eugage in " dunging in the hole " his
com, any more than his fence posts. — Xtu-
England Farrier.
GROUND OATS. —Ground oats furnish more
nutriment, and keep the bowels iu better con
dition, than when served out whole. By grind
ing the o.its we separate them into a myriad
of particles, and present them to the gastric
solvents in a forui calculated to secure their
speedy digestion—in fact, they are in a condi
tion favorable to speedy insaliration.
Ground oats are more nntricious than whole,
for the same reason that flour is more so than
unground wheat.
Ground oats contain more of the nitroge
nous, or flesh-making principle, than any other
kind of hoc e food ; at the same time they
furnish H mixture of coarse and fine food—the
husk of oats constitute the first, and tucal the
latter. The coarse material serves to keep
the bowels in a soluble condition—irritate and
excite the mucus coat, and thus obviate the ne
cessity for drastic medicine. This kind of food
is decidedly the healthiest for working horses.
They require, however, a certain quantity of
sweet hav, in view of distending the stomach
to a healthy capacity.
"PROTECT YOCK GRASS-LANDS.—A matter
■which should command the serious attention of
fanners is the proper protection of their grass
lands through the winter. Do not let your
cattle on them. Meadows are often left bare
in cold weather ; and if the grass is crop
ped close, the roots winter kill. If grass is left
on the ground, it fills with snow, and protects
the land, aud it comes ont much better in the
spring ; but if you neglect such precaution,
and allow your cattle to nip the scanty her
bage which tlve frost has left untouched, you
need not expect a good crop next year.— HVs
itrn Agriculturist.

THE TUIIOE FOR 1857.
Tbr> Fiction is past. axd its results proves that thr
w:.rk devolved nn the Republican party is not yet c<un
pleteil. In all the Rastern mid Northern portions of tlie
country—in New-England, New York .Ohio and the North-
We-t-'the Republican banner floats in triumph : while in
Southern Jersey. Pennsylvania. Indiana and Illinois—in
short, wherever few newspapers are taken, and where
common schools are too new and too feeble to have edu
catrd the present generation of voters—the black flag of
Slavery obstructs the sunshine. A stranger to America
miyht distinguish those portions of onr country most
b!esed with Kducation, Intelligence. Thrift and Virtue,
hv scanning the returns of the Presidential contest of 1K,56.
We have failed of present success, not because the Peo
ple arc against us. but because that large portion who did
not hear or read the argument and do not know what
were the real questions at issue, went almost solid against
u. reversing tne verdict which the great majority of the
educated and intelligent endeavored to pronounce.
These facts indicate the path of pressing duty. With
no unmanly repinings over what is irrevocable—^with no
abatement of heart or hope because the triumph of Liber
tv in her new ordeal is not won at the Long Island and
White Plains of her struggle—with no shadow of regret
that the responsibility of governing is not confided to her
champions before the People were fully ready to sustain
them—we begin afresh the work of diffusing that vital
truth which, in regard to the concern* of this world as
well a of the next, makes Free indeed. Now, in the
Slave power's heyday of victory, when its ministers and
servitors are gathering and plotting to make the most of
their triumph and '• crush out'' the spirit which they vain
ly believe to be crucified and entomlx-d—now, when the
taint-hearted or cold-hearted who lately basked in the
sunshine of our premature hopes are hauling oft'to repair
damages and talking of Abandoning the rugged arena of
Politics for more <|iiie( and flowery fields—now. in this
hour of weariness and shadow. THE TRIBUNE renews its
vows of eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over
the bodies or souls of men—to the shameful assumption
that the benighted and feeble, whether in soul or body,
are to be regarded and treated as the convenience or the
prev of their wiser or stronger brethren—to the domina
tion of despots and oligarchs, whether of empires or plan
tation*—to the enslavers of cities and kingdoms in Europe
or the breeders of children for the auction-block and the
cotton-field in Virginia or Alabama.
The doctrine that no human being was ever created for
the benefit or advantage of another—that all service be
tween nnn and man should lie free and reciprocal—that
the laborer should not toil and sweat to pamper others'
pride or minister to others' luxury, but for the sustenance
and comfort of those near and dear to him—is destined to
•ertain triumph. It must prevail, for (Sod reigns, and
Earth was not created to be a theatre of injustice, oppres
sion and misery for ever. It must triumph : for all true
propheey affirms and the vindication of the Divine benig
nity imperatively requires it. It must triumph : for De
mocratic America cannot always remain the scoff of aris
tocrats and the shame of reformers and liberals through
out the Old World. It must triumph : for Man's historv
is not. a chaos or a riddle, hut everywhere instinct with
meaning : and no heroic effort ever failed of its effect—no
dron of martyr blood was ever shed in vain.
But even if we Republicans were disposed to fold our
arms in slumber onr adversaries would not permit it. They
are busy to-day in lengthening their cords and strength
ening their stakes with a vigilance and activity which re
veal* a consciousness on their part that their dominion
must be made sure forthwith or their sceptre will have
forever departed. To-day, myrmidoms of the Slave Pow
er threaten and harass Northern Mexico, are encamped
in the heart of Central America and waging a war of ex
termination on the distracted inhabitants of its petty Re
publics. while it by turns leers and scowls at Cuba, while
its most ruthless bands are precipitated on devoted Kan
sas. under the protection and smiles of the Federal Ad
ministration. Even as we write, the telegraph informs
us that twenty Free-State men, guilty of attempting to
defend their homes against the rapine and violence of Bu
ford's and Titus' blood-thirsty bandits, have been convic
ted by Lecompte's Court of manslaughter! and sentenced
to five years' imprisonment at hard labor as felons. This
is but a fair specimen of what has long passed for "jus
tice" in Kansas—a justice which takes the criminals into
pay and aids them in hunting down, plundering and
" wiping out" the innocent, whom it consigns to the
State prison if they are ever goaded into the madness of
resisting their oppressors. Such crimes and wrongs as
unhappy Kansas lias for twelve months endured, even
Hungary or Poland has never known ; and the Power at
whose instigation thee villainies were and are perpetra
ted sits enthroned in the White House, and has just
achieved another four years' ascendancy in the Federal
Government. Who. in view of these facts, can say that
Republicans may now pile their arms, even for an "hour ?
TUB TRIBUNE will lie. as it lias lieen. a Political Jour
nal—avowedly, though not exclusively so. It recognizes
the truth that Freedom and Slavery are here grappled in
deadly conflict, and that in the result one of them must
lose all control over the Federal Government. But, while
it gives prominence and emphasis to the discussion and
elucidation of the great issue of the day, it sinks none of
the characteristics of a Business and Family Newspaper.
The proceedings of Congress, like those in" Kansas, will
be watched and reported by an able and fearless corps of
Correspondents, while from London, Paris, Constantino
ple, Havana, San Francisco, Albany and other centres of
interest, our special advices will lie", as they have been,
fresh and reliable. A member of our Editorial corps—
Bayard Tavlor—is now in Northern Europe, and will
spend the Winter in Sweden. Lapland, Russia, thence
making his way next season across Siberia and Tartary
to the month of the Amour, and thence homeward by the
Pacific and California, unless some change of route "shall
promise greater interest and profit to our readers, for
nhom alone lie will write regularly throughouthisadven
turous journey, which is likely to "require two years for
its completion. Our reports of the most interesting Lec
tures. Public Meetings. Ac., will tie full and reliable, and
onr Foreign and Domestic News made up with a careful
regard to the condensation into our ample columns of the
greatest amount of intelligence that is consistent with
the use of type of a gencrons size. In short, if we fail to
make THE 'TRIBUNE worth its cost, it shall not be for want
of expenditure or effort.
If it be deemed desirable by Republicans that THE TRI
BUNE should be circulated in their several localities, we
nrge them to see that Cluhs tie made up and forwarded
in due season. The Postmasters are semi-officially ad
monished not to aid our circulation, but to urge instead
that of journals deemed " sound" and " National" by tlie
compatriots of Atchison and Stringfellow. We ask live
Republicans everywhere to take care that these efforts be
not effectual t-> quench the light of Freedom in the mur
ky mists of Slavery.
