that ammonia is not a special ferti

Still„ there -may "become truth it, it,
but as . _ .. yet the subject - is open for
more opiniona. What is so very cu

ordinary ;slaked lime, •but• a small

before, but very little ammonia. We
may look in another direction, how
ever,-and perhaps discoveesoinething
on which to found further theories.
Sulphuric acid is• the most powerful.

nearly always driven from their basis
by it. But there are times when tIA
} weaker acids tire able to push it aside,
and that is when they are applied hot
I Now, carbonic - acid is one of ti e
! feeblest of all acids, and cannot take
the -place • of sulphuric' acid ; but
sometimes, when heated, it is able to
. displace - the - stronger acid. • earbanic
acid has a great affinity for lime, and
perhaps when 'plaster .is mixed with
manure fluting the progress.of-. de
composition, when heat is thereby
generated, it may under possible pee
'cut* circumstances seize the lime of

i which, in turn, combiees with the
ammonia in the manure. Heat is but
the motion of! the atoms; and during
the' heating of the manure-heap hun

servations have confirmed one thing,
boWever, and that is, plaster, is a
great absorbent . It does not pdssess
Ithis power in a dry state very much,
, but' when moistened it absorbs and
•I retains. May .we not suppose that
-!therains _bring down ammonia to the
earth, where it is held by tile plaster

1 .
having once absorbed it, like char
coal, heat is necessary to disengage
it, which is a slow Process around
the roots of the plants; but, while it

also, that ammonia itself, under ger- -

Rye as a Farm Crop.
We are not growing rye enough:
This rough and hardy plant has more
uses than perhaps most farmers are
kivare of; and for some' of them no
Oiher plant is . so well fitted. For its
grain alone can be grown profita
bly, as there is less risk and, expense
in' growing it than "with any other
grain unless it 08 oat's. -Hut it will
grow where oats will not, or not so
well—On sandy soil and • in a -cold
climate, both Of which are adapted
to this plant as well as the potato.

Woods, where frosts - sometimes oc

where the soil is. nearly all sand, .1

Ryeis a stron4,. feeder. and with suf.

it i more than probable that rearing
will always pay well, providing only
that 'the stock is of

Washing of the Hill-Sidet.
One of the most successful meth
ods of preventing. serious damage
from - washing of cultivated
_hill. S des
during heavy storms is to terrace
the bill by plowing. At Isbort inter
vals two or three furrowti of the
are turned down hill, Oils making a
nearly level 'bank at short distnneesi
as you pass down Ithe 'slope. - The
last furrow makes a channel in which
the dowdWard water is: caught, and
may be cairied 'off at one side of the
bill—at any rate it. will arrest the
rapid downward flow, and give _the
water more time to . soak into the soil.
