from the Aooomao District, Virginia, is said to

His disease is consumption, and it is generally

to recover.
The Masons of Philadelphia, on Monday last,
were making great preparations for the dedica
tion of their splendid new temple j ost completed,
on Chesnot street, above Seventh. There was
to have been, yesterday, a grand prooesslon,
and a banquet given In the evening to the dele
gates from the grand lodges of other States, who
will bo present by invitation. It Is estimated
that thirty thousand persona, principally ladies,
visited the new ball on Monday, and that at
least ode hundred thousand persons have visited
it daring the foar days that it has been open to
the poblio.
Dr. W. H. Freeman, writing from the plague-
Stricken oily of Norfolk, says: “ I have seen
several epidemios, bat none which eon be oom
pared in its sweeping virulenoe to this. Last
year, I was one of the physicians in Barbados—
employed by the executive of that island—da
ring the prevalence of epidomio cholera, when,
out of 136,000 Bouls, upwards of 22,000 were
swept off in about six or seven weeks. This was
ode in every six. Here, I fear, the mortality
will exoeed one in five of the Inhabitants re
maining daring the visitation. Unparalleled in
the annals of history.”
THE GAME OF BRAU
If “bluffing” passed for par funds, the Know
Nothing gentry would not want for material aid
ia the present oampaign. The street comers
bear wituess to the most extensive game of brag
over attempted to be played off upon, or by any
party. To believe them, one woold suppose
Allegheny county did not contain any other kind
of voters than those belonging to the masquerodo
organization. AH this is done for effeot, to
oatoh such-of the groundhogs as may desire to
go with the winning party. At ooe moment, all
the Muscovies and Protestant Irish are voting
with them to a man, giving as an exouse for
their treatment of them last fall, that they didn’t
mean to hurt their feelings when they kicked
them out. They shouldn’t mind it; neither will
they? At another moment, all the Catholics are
going dead against Patterson. Examples are
cited with a flourish, to convince the oreduloua,
and alarm the weak. Who are the Catholics, so
willing to bend their backs, that Enow Nothings,
sworn to snatoh from them their political and
religious franchises, should be elevated to power ?
The thing is supremely absurd. Catholic Whigs
and Democrats will vote with the party most
likely to defeat their triple-oathed enemies, and
most surely will they be gratified on tfnesday
week.
Godky’s Lady’s Book for Ootoberiß filled with

THE STATE FAIR.
Slim Attendance at the Opening—A Big Crowd
Expected on Wednesday—Mechanical Duplay
*'/rom fair to middling ” — JPCormtck's Reaper
Outdone — Other Mechanical Curiosities — Poli
tics, sc.
Harrisburg, September 5, 1855
Messrs. Editors —You will probably want some
aooonnt of the gathering hero to the State Agri
cultural Fair. It is a oentral And accessible
point in the B(ate, the weather is very fine, the
farmers of Eastern Pennsylvania are intelligent
and thriving, and one would supposo that the
crowd would at least equal that at Pittsburgh
two years ago. This is the openiog day, and
the show opens with but a moagro attendance.
Wo have the promise of much bettor things to
morrow, aud shall probably pot be disappointed.
The President, General Scott and other distin
guished persons are to be here, and it is sup
posed an immense orowd will be is in the morn
ing; but, whatever “ personages” may oome,
the exhibition of artioles of useful invention and
mechanioal skill will evidently fall short of tho
display at Pitt; burgh in 1863. Oar high opinion
of the meohanical skill of the Pittsburgh arti
sans leads us to attribute this fulling off to that
fact.
Bat there are soma things here already that
are worthy of a good notioe. Among other
things is a new reaping machine, whioh the pa
tentee assures us will surpass M’Cormiok's,
Manay’s, or auy other yet known. We weald
not be surprised if his prediction proves true-
We have never seen anything work more per
fectly ; and tho way it takes down the " grass,"
as well as the grain, is, as Louis Napoleon said
of the American thrashing maohinc, "frightful
to behold." Bat we shall have oooasion to no
tioe this farther again.
Next to this roapor in utility and ingenuity
we must mention the "Self-Acting Gate.” It
is so constructed that the wheel of an approaoh
iog carriage will open the gate, and it will stay
open till you oan drive through ; and then the
wheel oloßes it again without any attention being
paid to it by tho driver or any one else. It
could bo applied to railroads at crossings, aud
be useful there.
Then there is a " Patent Combined Tablo and
Chair” on exhibition that astonishes a good
many. At first sight it is a handsome centre
table, oval in form and very beautiful. Then
oue-half the lid is turned over, and by a slight
movement tho tablo opens and the owner finds a
nloe cushioned chair under him, a table before
him, and a drawor under tbo tablo containing
Ink and stationery, all roady for writing. When
the writing is done the oentre table is To-produ
ced. It is a thing of simple construction, too,
aud, unless the materials are of an expensive
kind, it will be a cheap article of furniture.
Then there is a Steam Saw Mill at work, of a
portable natoro. Tbo mill may travel after the
timber, instead of the expensive prooess of hau!-
ing logs for miles. Wherever there is water
enough to raise stoam this mill will work. This
however, is not a new thing, but is represented
as a very decided improvement on any hereto
fore useJ.
The handsomest oarriage on exhibition was
manufactured in Allegheny oity. It is a baggy,
and it cannot be boat. We have seen nothing
else, yet from the county of Allegheny in the
manufacturing line.
The number of windmills, oornaheliers, water
ooolers, ploughs, oradles, and every other kind
of agricultural Implements is very Urge, and it
would almost seem that further improvement
in some of them was impossible. Hoes, forks,
axes, spades, soythes, Ac, abound, and do great
credit to Ibe taste and ingenuity of Pennsylva
nia mechanics. There are many things, how
ever, of which our State cannot claim the credit
The Yankoos and the Now Yorkers are here, anJ
every one of them is sure he has got an article
that oannot be beat. Bach a Fair, too, is a
nice plaoe to advertise them, particularly if
they secure a promium or a favorable notice
from the judges, and from the press.
But l have not time for further “ mentions ”
to night. There is to to something of
a gathering of politicians, too, at this]Fair. It
is a floe plaoo to talk over the past, and plan for
tho future.
State Fairs are a groat institution, and theeo
exhibitions aro of unquestioned utility to the
agricultural interest. No farmer can attend one
and witness tho improvements in agricultural
implements without going homo a muob wiser
man in bia vocation.
But 1 must stop now. More anon
Yours, Ac.,
Addresses of the State Central and Coun
ty Committee*.
We are indobted to the State Central Commit
tee for a number of oopiee of the recent address
published by them and intended for free circula
tion. Wo bad previously printed several thou
sand extra oopiee of the above address, as well
as the able one put out by our County Committee,
intended for distribution among the voters of
this county. Those who hare not boon supplied
will be kind enough to forward thoir orders to
this office, and receive them. We ask for these
addresses a considerate perusal and goneral cir
culation.
Uxclb Sam at Paris. —The United States will
gain similar honors at the Paris Exhibition to
those at London in 1866. Tho telegraph of
Prof. Morse is admitted to be better than any
now in use on the oonlinent of Europe. The
American reapers have established their superi
ority over all others, and have oreated immense
aensatloo. Goodyear’s India rubber fabrio at
tracts great attention, and seems likely to revo
lutionise several branches of manufacture. And
similar attention has been exolted by our sewing
machines, Colt’s revolvers, Richmond’s boiler
iron cutting machine, Thompson’s life boats,
Maury’s charts, also oar daguerreotypes, artifi
cial teeth, pianos, ship models, Ac.
Bounty Land Claims.— There have been two
hundred and fifteen thousand eight hundred
olaims filed for bounty lands under aot of March
3, 1855, of whioh 37,000 were filed in March,
76,000 in April, and 45,000 in May. Thus far
the commissioner of pensions has only beon able
to issue about 30,000 warrants of all sizes, and
at tho rate at whioh they aro now issuing war
rants it will take over two years to oomplete the
cases on hand. Claimants who are anxiously
awaiting the receipt of their warrants will have
to be patient. No doubt Congress will devise
some means at its ensuing eossioo for a speedier
execution of the law.
Great Pedestrian Feat. —A man named C.
L. Curtis has undertaken, at St Louis, the great
feat of walking IOSG miles in as many oonseou
tive hoars. He has already performed six days
of his journey and it is thonght may hold out to
the end. He is described as a man of dignified
and prepossessing appearance, of cultivated and
winning mannors, and intelligence of a high or*
der; to whioh are united a physique of great
muscular power, agile, lithe, symmetrical, and
possessed of all the tokens of wonderful endu
rance.
A Spheoh Lost. —Poor Smith, of th & Bulletin,
couldn’t get a chance to blow off steam on Sat
urday last, at the American Yard, Liberty street.
His lamentations are exoruoialing, and the Bul
letin pnblio mast know. It was hinted by
toothers of the “ misty tie ” on the ground that
the Imeeting was only endurable because the
man Wfiß shut off. Trimble was cruel only
to bo kind.
Hjy Th6 ; Kl N. ‘edittotff the Dispatch is very
much alarmed lest the Consolidation bill he
framed about a year ago will kick hack and lose
him votes. Such is the fate of patriots.
■w,--
The (bice New York Cuuucilmen— Bartholo
mew Healy, Jjhu C. VVaoddl uni Wm B. Drake
—indited by the Graud Jury for bribery, have
resigned, and pretend to a great deal of indigna
tion at having their characters impugned! The j
three Aldermen indioted for a like offenoe, still!
hold on, aa their offices are profitable as well as
honorable. To Mayor Wood is it owing that
theae corrupt men are likoly to meet with jns
tioe. Let him bo sustained, oven if it results in
immuring in tho States’ prison every one of the
“ forty thieveß ” who do up the municipal legis
lation of the Commercial Metropolis.
If a man of the integrity and nerve of Fernan
do Wood bad been in attendance at Harrisburg
last winter, we are afraid not a few constituen
cies would have been unrepresented, during a
portion of the session. Bribery and corruption
of the grossest kind was openly charged, yet
when investigations were made they ended in
smoke and the guilty parties allowed to esoape.
When these New York corruptionists are con
victed, we hopo the manner in whioh it was done
will be published, for tho benefit of any Bribery
Investigation Committees which may be appoint
ed at our Btate oapitol next winter.
Not Tbub. —The Times of last evening states
that Hon. Henry D. Foster, of Greensburg, is
au applicant for the place of Jodgo Barrel, of
Westmoreland, made vaoant by his appointment
os one of the Supreme Judges of Kansas. This
is positively untrue. He does not want the post,
and would be the last man in tho State to apply
to aK. N. Governor for any position The ru
mor iB probably thrown oat to injure the pros
pects of Mr. Foster in Westmoreland. The
rumor in regard to Mr. Cowan is doubtless
equally unfounded.
More Help —The Kvening Chronicle is out in
favor of Rody Patterson for Sheriff. We are
glad our evening oouain has tho grit to speak for
onco in favor of somebody.

THE BURLINGTON ACCIDENT
THE ENGINEER INDICTED FOR
THE AGENT OF THE COMPANY INDICTED
FOR KEEPING THE PROPERTY TAKEN
FROM THE DEAD
The Barliugtou County Court commenced Its
session at tho Court House, in Mount Holly, on
Tuesday last; Judge Potts presiding, assisted
by Judges Haywood, BudJ, -tewart and Lip-
Jiocott The following io a list of tho Graud
urors:
Jonathan J. Spiincer, Foreman
Thomas Millnor, Joseph Roberts,
Joseph W. Allen, Wm. H. Booy,
John Chambers, Wra. F Kaigbn,
Robt. B Stokes, Joel Haines,
John W Fenimoro, A R Borden,
Geo. B. Deacoo. Jeoaa R Sears,
Samuel Stockton, Wm A Shreve,
Daniel Wills, Theo B. Puilltps,
Miohael Foraytb®, Wm. H. Krolor,
Walter NowbolJ, Charles J Bates,
Willi m M Kisdon.
Judge Potts, in his charge to the Jury, dwelt
at considerable icDgth upon the late accident on
the Camden and Amboy Railroad, and reminded
the Jury that it was their duty to make a search
ing investigation, and whoever was guilty of
causing t-'O death of so many persons should
be brought to justice and severely punished.
Oq Wednesday afternoou, Dr. Heinekin wont
before the Grand Jnry and entorvd a complaint
against the Camden and Amboy Railroad Com
pany, aod charged the oondnetor, engineer, and
brakeman, of that train, with negligence in not
giving an alarm —by Mowing the whistle ir
ringing the bell at a distance of dOO yards from
the crossing, as required by the law of New
Jersey, and continue the same until passing over
the crossing -thoteby coming in contact with
hi* Warn, and causing t :e acciJent and loss of
life of twenty-four persons, anJ inuring many
others.
ttQ the ei»mo aflcruocn a counter complaint
was entered against Dr lieinekeo by Poter
Shroeve, one of passengers on that day, who re
sides at Bordentowu, and is a relative of the en
gineer, Israel Adams, for the purpose of intro
ducing rebutting testimony On Friday after
noon the testimony on the part of Dr. Heinekin
was concluded, and Adams, the engineer, was
reqaired to enter sureties for bis appearanco
when required. Mr Robert S Van Rensselaer.
Superintendent of the Camdonand Amboy Rail
road, and Mr. Mitlbn Paul, Superintendent of
the Mount Holly Road, were bis sureties in tbo
sum of *>4,000.
Yesterday the rebutting testimony was given
in. At o’clock the Railroad Company fur
nished an extra train and conveyed tho jury to
this oily for the purpose of viewing tho ground.
Dr. Heinehen desired to aooompany them for
the purpose of pointing out his exact position
on the road when he last looked np the railroad
to see if the traok was dear, but was refused a
paasago In the train. The jury wore absent 1}
boars, and a personal inspection of the grounds
aided them very materially in arriving at their
final conclusions
A measurement of tbo ground showed that the
groat speed of the backing train, by one blow,
knocked one of Dr. Heineken’s horses a distance
of forty-two yards on one side of the track, and
the other thirty-six yards on the opposite side
of the traok. The conclusion they arrived at
was. that, at tbo speed the train was baoking,
had Dr. Heineken observed it after the last timo
he looked up tho track, he would not have had
timo to keep oloar of it
Shortly after 7 o’olock, last evening, the
grand jury oame into oourt and presented a bill
for manslaughter against tho engineer, Israel
Adams. The reading of the bill was postponed
until to morrow morning, and tho oourt ad
journed. There was no bill found against Dr.
Heineken, or against the railroad oompany, ox
cept so far as tho company may be implicated
by the finding of the bill agaiust the oogluecr.
The grand jury also presented a bill against
Jalei Kingdom, ticket agent at the Burlington
Railroad Depot, who stands oharged with keep
ing a watch and some money, the property of
Mr. Lovoland, of the firm of Loveland, Greene
& Co., of Illinois, whose body, it will be reool
lectcd, remained at the Lyoonm several days un
recognized and was claimed by several persons.
Oq the Tuesday night following tho aooident,
Mr. Greene, one of the partners, oame on and
identified the body, and theo it was that Mr.
Kingdom mado known that be had in his pos
session a check on a Now York house for $lOOO
be onging to Mr. Loveland, and whioh if pro
duced before would have led to his identification.
Mr. Greene remainod and made a charge before
tho grand jury, but those gentiomeD, it is oar
rently reported, on Wednesday last dcoidod not
to find a bill against Mr. Kingdom, and JVir. G.
abandoned tbo idea of obtaining justice and re
turned home.
Tho indigoation of tbo oitizens of Burlington
was thoroughly aroused, and the grand jury
finding public son imoat was so strong against
their aotion, the oaac was again brought bofore
them and the bill subsequently found. Mr.
Jesee R. Sherman testified before the jury, that
on the day of the aooident be saw Mr. Love
land’s pooket-book drop from his pocket, and
picking it up, handed it, togetbor with tho
watch, to Mr. Kingdom. Charles Williams tes
tified to having witnessed this transaction.
The injared persons have nearly all recovered
sufficiently to be removed to their homes There
are still remaining Mrs. Boyoe, Mrs. Newbold
and daughter, Mr. Pew, the Hon. Mr. Maolay—
all improving—and Mr. Daniel O'Kane. Mr.
O’Kane is in a critical condition, his right leg
having been fraotarod near the thigh and below
tho knee. The upper fraoturo has beon dislo
cated and reset three times. Oq Friday last it
again became displaced, and Dr. Houston, a cel
ebrated snrgeon of Philadelphia, was seot for.
He found it impossible to adjust the limb here,
and Mr. O'Kane will bo removed to Philadelphia
to-morrow, where the operation will be per
formed—but so long a time has elapeed'Binoe
the accident, it is feared it will be of no avail.
Through all this trying Boene ho has suffered
severely, but without uttering a single com
plaint.
White Mountains capped with Show. —We
learn from Mr. Hobbs, conductor of the inward
morning train, that yesterday the weather was
very cold, and heavy snow squalls prevailed
among the mountains the day and night before,
and that the summits of Washington, Adams,
Jefferson, Madison, Moriah and Carter werooom
pletely oapped with snow. In oonsequene of
the great oold, the Tip-Top and Summit Houses
were evaouated and olosed up for the season.

HINTS ON SOWING W II KAT
Tbo oertainty of the wheat crop S 9 oomparcj
with other staple farm productions . its univer
sal adaptability as an article of food ; tho safe
ty, ease and obeopness with which it may be
transported to any part of the world where
oe led, and its being pro eminently a caah
yiolding material, all point out this crop as ono
worthy of the greatest attention of farmers iu
every seotion of tbo oountry, where its cultiva
tion Is not precluded by tho cir utusUnces of
soil or climate. The uniform high, or at least
remunerative j-rioes for several years past, and
tbc probability of a continued European demand
for a year «-r more after the establishment of
peace—an event not prospectively near —arc ad
ditional considerations which should prompt to
sowing a large breadth the present Autumn.
We will, therefore, throw out a few hints upon
tho methods of increasing the amoant sown, and
prooesß of cultivation.
There are many aores upon every farm that
may bo sown to wheat, with a prospect of only
half a orop—bettor Ih&n to lio in stubble or
poor pasture. The opinion that all grass land
must be plowed previous to harvest, and lie
sometime as Summor fallow, is erroneous. A
meadow or pasture may be turned over in Sep
tember, and wheat sown directly upon the inver
ted sod. Such land should bo well harrowed
after plowiug, and if very [oor, a light ooaling
of rotted manure or guano be worked iy to the
surface to supply tho necessities of the plant
until the deoay of the underlying sods. Stubblo
land, whether of oats, wheat cr barley, may algo
be sown profitably, it a orating of manure or
guano be applied ; and it is oven better to ob
tain a half or two-thirds orop, thau to let such
ground lie idle for a whole year. Those who
understand well the philosophy of manuring,
find no difficulty in getting remunerative crops
of wheat, every year from the satno field, though
a rotation of crops is always advisablo where it
can be done without contracting the amount of
ths more important crop.
SELECTION 0»‘ CEOPK
This should be attended to beforo as welt as
after threshing. The wheat ripening earliest
shoald invariably be saved for Beed. The man
ner of threshing is important. When wheat is
crowded through a machine with dose setting,
-'sharp teeth, a groat number of tho kernels are
broken or crashed, so as to destroy the gorm,
though the fracture may not be peroeptible to
the eyo, at least without oareful ioepootion. We
havo counted ten to twenty-five iu a hundred
kornela thus spoiled for seed. We have latterly
recommended to plooe the whole sheaves upon
the barn floor, and beat off with the tUil the
Urges! and beet kernels for seed , and then lay
aside the Bhoaves to be ran through a machine
afterwards. Two men will readily beat of thirty
to sixty bushels of Beed in a day, if the thresh
ing floor is adjacent to tho wheat mow, since a
vfa little beating will take out half or more of
the grain.
Select the plumpest kernels for seed.
To pass over the generally established principle
that “ like produoos like,” there is importint
consideration that wo have not seen referred to
by writers on tho selcotion of various kinds of
soed. Every seed contains not only the germ of
tho future plant, but also a supply of nourish
ment for the first wants of the young shoot. Tho
germs of the wheat seod is very small, and tho
great bulk of the kernel Is composed of what
must nourish the germ until it has sent forth
roots into the soil and leaves iuto the air. If
now the kernel be small ot shriveled, the young
shoot will lack for nourish cent, will get a poor
start, and for a Long lime have bat a compara
tively feeble growth j whilo from the full, plump
kernel the shoot will derive a full supply of pab
ulum, will send forth vigorous roots and leaves,
and will have a much better ohanoe for a rapid
after-growth. Three hundred pounds per acre
of guano, intimately mingled with the soil, has
been found to exert a powerful effeot upon the
wheat plants, and yet that amount of guano does
not famish to each oubio inch of soil as much
nourishment as there is in a single plump kernel
of wheat. This reasoning must appear obvious 1
to overy one ; and to this we may add the faot i
that, in our own experience, as well from extend
ed observation, we have found the praotioe of i
selecting large Beed to be highly profitable. Our ]
method has been }p run the wheat designed for |
seed over a ooarse screen, wbloh sorted ont only <
about one-third of the largest kornels. After j
pursuing this method for a very few years, the i
general oharaoter of the whoat was so muob im- •
proved that after selecting one-third of the j
plumpest kernels for seed and home use, what i
remained still commanded the highest market 1
prioe. Another advantage of this courso is that
we thus get rid of all “ foal stuff.”
Varieties ofi seed. —Almost every seotion of the
country has some particular variety of wheat
which has been found beet adapted to the locali
ty, and no general rule can be given. Let eve-
• -• -'-at:
ry farmer be sure and get the best, and not sow
a poorer variety because he happens to have it.
Ho oan usually exchange with a neighbor, giving
wheat good for ooosumptioD or. market, for that
which is more valuable for seed. Better to ex*
pend a dollar more for good shed than bow poor,
when slo@sl2 per acre is to be laid.ont in oth
er expenses of cultivation. Ao additional yield
of two or three bushels for the same labor in
oaltivating will well repay the difference betweea
good and bad seedi
From nearly all accounts of the past and pre
sent year, the Red Mediterranean wheat has been
found the most reliable, and wherever this seed
is accessible we advise to prooure it for a part
or the whole of the next orop.
Every year’s experience and observation show
more and more plainly the importance of sowing
wheat early. One half or more of the reports
from the wheat errp daring two ye&rß past con
tain io substance the following : "Early sown
wheat is good, but the late sown is Winter-kill
ed,” or “ injured by the ioseot.” Wheat should
get well rooted before the frosts sot in. The l*ng
roots will be far less liable to be thrown out by
the frost. Nature is a good te&oher ; as soon as
the old orop is ripo the seeds fall to the ground
and oommenoe growing again. North of lati
tude 42° it would be better if every grain of
wheat were in the ground early in September.
From 40° to 42°, wheat sowing Bhould be/wmA
ed by the first week in October.
Every person raising twenty or thirty aores of
wheat can well afford to parohaso a seed-drill,
unless he oan join a neighbor in baying one.
Some of the advantages of drilling-in wheat in
stead of sowing broadcast may be summed up
as follows:
The seed is put into the gronnd at a uniform
depth, the plants come up evenly, grow evenly,
and ripen at the same time.
A tnuoh smaller quantity of seed is required,
because no allowance need be made for portions
left parti illy oovered, or covered too deeply ;
nor for a large number of seeds falling together,
as usually happens in broadcast sowing; nearly
half a bushel of seed per acre may thus be saved,
whiob, with the present high price of wheat,
would pay the cost of a seed-sower the first year,
upon a large farm, or whore several farmers
unite in purchasing one.
Where the plants grow at uniform distances
the light and air eater more freely, and a more
vigorous growth is secured. Direct experiments
have shown that where the hpads of wheat stand
well apart the kernels upon eaoh head are plump
er, and often more than double the numbor of
those upon heads growing closely together.
With the plants at equal distances, the roots
occupy the whole soil, and do not interfere
with eaoh other, aod there is a greater certain
ty of using up all the fertilizers applied to the
ground.
Next to drilling-in wheat we recommend plow
iag it in with shallow farrows. Ia this method
the grain is oovered more uniformly with the
plow than it would bo with the harrow ; the
plants oome up in rows and admit lieht and air;
and as they stand between the small ridges the
soil from these will orumble down with frost,
and falling around the roots, will be partially
equivalent to boeiDg. Of oourse the ground
should not be touched with harrow, roller or
bush after the wheat Is plowed in.
These must be varied to meet the condition of
tbe soil. Where the ground is oold and wet,
and oonseqnently contains nndecayed vegetable
matter, alkalies, such as newly slaked limo or
unleaobcd ashes, are highly valaable. In soils
not abounding already in sulphate of Iron or
sulphuric acid in some form, plaster of pans .is
an excellent fertiliser, aB it—so to speak—
catches ammonia from tbo air and from rain
water, and thus supplies wheat with one of its
best stimulants. Barn-yard mannres of all kinds
are always good. We recommend loss rotting
or composting than is asually practiced ; let the
manure, even to a long straw, be kept from fer
menting, and get it under the snrfaco soil, where
it will without fail decay gradually and famish
ja t the nourishment needed. If this is doae
there will not be a waste of the greater part of
the be9t elements wbioh are asually lost in the
rotting process. Clover plowed under when at
it* full growth, and while still green, is oue of
the very bost fertilizers for wheat. When clover,
or mauuro, or sod is once plowed nnder, whether
before or after the harvest season, it should
never be turned up again. Let the snrfaco bo
t orongbly pulverized with a heavy, sharp har
row or with a oultivator, but never jise the plow
a second time, at leaßt not deeply eoough to
throw up to the eorfaoe the organic or vegetable
Bubstanoes burled at the first plowing.
Of all ,l foreign manures 0 yet tried upon
wheat, there has none been found so generally
beneficial os genuine Peruvian guano. Wheat
seems to delight especially in ammonia, and
guano furnishes this in abundanoe at the cheap
est rate. Much value has been claimed for su
per-phosphate of lime and other manufaotnred
articles, but the benefit derived from these often
lies more in tbe advertisement of the interested
manufacturers, than in any observed valuable
results. Comparatively good results have, in
deed, boen observed, but it is worthy of remark
that thoso have always.followed where guano,
or some good substitute for It, has been added to
ihe super-phosphate. The safer, oheaper plan
for tho purchaser is, to go to the fountain head
aod get the pure, unadulterated guano itself.
