A Bill Blow Out. , Xkw Yori October 14. The bhores around Hell Gate were black with people yesterday morning. They came on the elevated roads, in horse cars and in carriages and poured their steady stream to where the blue-coated policemen and the hue of soldiers with gleaming bayo nets arrested their progress. On the water, steamers and tup and hun dreds of rowboats, all 1W with people, lay awaiting the great explo sion. ThouBande of eyes were fixed on Flood Rock, which was soon to crumble to atoms. The sheds and bouses which for nine years have covered the rock, had been removed. A solitary derrick remained there, and from it floated a United States flag. Workmen were moving rapid ly about on the barren rock, and the navv launches fcteamed hither and thither warning vessels that sought to come through the Gate that the explosion was about to take place, and that they had better keep out of the way. The knowledge that tons of high explosives were under the innocent-looking rock, around which the flood tide lay wh.h unaccustom ed tranquility was a powerful argu ment in inducing the skippers of the various craft which sought to pass that they ought to obey the man dates ol the straight and glittering young officers who waved their bands to them from the launches. The interest among the spectators was intense. Enough dynamite and rackarock was to be exploded to lev el every building on Manhattan Is land. The forces of science were to be employed on a cigantic scale. What would be the exact reeult no one knew, though such veteran dy namiters aj Gen. Newton, Gen. Ab bott, Lieutenant Derby and Lieu tenant Zaliiicki were pretty confident that the giant forces which had been conjured up could be properly con trolled. General Newton felt no more anxiety in controlling the explosion than he wtuld bae felt in holding the reins over a dray horse. The dynamite was his slave, and while realizing the great forces he was em ploying, he felt that it would obey him. All through the upper part of the city windows had been opened and pier glasses put to bed in prepa ration for the concussion, which was expected to break plans and tumble down crockery by those who real ized more 'u force employed than the method of its application. In Astoria and on Ward's and I land a) Is Islands tLe same precautious were observed. The atmosphere was hazy but the sky was cloudless and the scene was flooded with the bright October sunshine. The hour of 11, the time set for the explosion, approached, and a slate of intense suspense took pos session of every one. The flag was hauled down from the derrick and a tug took the last man from the rock and conveyed him to the shore. There was a hush of breathless ex pectation. Minute? glided away, and still flood rock reared its head in the glassy space of deserted water. The suspence became painful, and one felt like crying out or moving about rapidly. General Newton's daughter Mary, who nine years ago with the touch ol her baby finger destroyed Mallet's reef, pressed the key which fired the v;n t 11.11 . ,n o rwl i;ii, . WI. till, a. , it.iu et. ill., auu iikc A iiuru the barren rock disappeared, and in its place a serrated wall of water J,2i0feet long and lol) feet high at its greatest altitude stood flashing in the sun. It looked like a miniature range of snow-covered mountains and seemed to stand stationary and firm. Then, like Niagara pouring over its precipices, it fell back. Im mediately the space between Mill I lock and Hallet's I'oint was a seeth ing mass of waves, some white as enow, some smoke-colored, and some black. They mingled and met ana a as tied against each other in wild confusion, showing nil sorts ot turgid unU and colors. Some after a minute could be seen dashing their foam high slong the Long island shore and over the rugged surface of Mill Rock. To the west of the scene of the explosion the waves were not high, and a fleet of rowboats started for the place where Flood Rock had been. The large boats approached the place, but still kept at a safe dis tance. The air was permeated with an odor of carbonic acid gas, which was blown over the nortli part of the city by the wind. Flood Rock had leen shattered into fragments, but a few broken rocks and part of the derrick which had held the flag earlier in the morn ing, could be seen above the surface of the disturbed water. One of the greatest engineering feats ever known had been accomplished, the result of nine years of bard labor and a great expenditure of money had been reached and the show was over. Then came the rush home of the spectators, who will tell their grand children of the day they saw this great blow struck at Hell Gale. Those who have seen torpedo salutes fired have seen morestatelv columns of water thrown into the air, and the sunset gun often makes more noise than did the explosion of Flood Rock. But high explosives never before accomplished so treat a work and IKa vrVwila tKinor will ran v Ku I forgotten by those who were pres ent Hell Gate is a narrow, rocky part of the East River, about one mile east of Central Park and seven miles from the Battery, or lower end of the city of New York. The success of the explosion removes a most troub lesome and dangerous obstacle from the path of navigation at the en trance of Long Island Sound into the East River. Nine acres of solid rock have been lifted from their po sition at the bed of the river, and Hell Gate will thus be made a safe channel for vessels of the largest draught. Modern Architect nre. Mr. W.

At the recent monthly meeting of the Berks County Agricultural Soci ety, there was an interesting discus sion of the folio wing important ques tion : At what depth should wheat be sown, and what quantity should be sown per acre to give the best re sults?" Jacob G. Zerr, Esq., of Union township ex-president of the society opened the discussion. He said that opinions differ; some favor deep and others shallow sowing. He bad experience in regard to each. He thought that first of all ground should be placed in the best possible condition, the same as farmers work their gardens, before any planting is done. If ground is well pulveriz ed it matters rot as to the light cov ering. Take potatoes, he said, and put them in well prepared ground, and if only slightly covered they will grow. He illustrates the ques tion of shallow planting, and the growth of embryo shoots. If plant ed too deep the ground will bake, get hard, and the weak shoot can scarcely break through. One inch of soil on corn is enough, and the same may be said in regard to wheat Judge Stitzel agreed with Mr. Zerr that one of the first duties in Cutting out the winter crops would e to put the ground in order. The majority of the farmers in this coun ty are disposed to plow the ground but once, which he thought a great mistake. He had been told that if plowed twice the ground would get too fine, but that is because they nse the harrow too much. If we plow twice.and harrow as oiten as farmers here usually do, we get the ground too fine, and wheat will get loo deep but by plowing twice and using the roller you will not get the wheat down more than two inches, which is ample. But the principle thing is the quantity of seed to be sown. A mistake is frequently made by sowing too much seed. One bushel to the acre in carefully prepared soil will produce as much as if two bush els were sown. 1 he speaker thought that p bushel and a' half is quite enough. R. W. Scherer of Oley township related his experience He believed in twice plowing for thorough prepa ration of the soil, as the ground can le put in better condition than bv frequent harrowing. In loose soil he believed in shallow planting, but in heavv soil like that of our lime stone valleys he thought it ought to be put a little deeper. He explain ed the nature of the growth of the wheat plant, ard spoke of it double set of roots, one deep down and the other near the surface. For general purposes he preferred shallow seed ing, i tie quantity ol seed per acre deininds upon the character of the soil. In strong soil, a bushel and a half of wheat is enough, and in light sou two bushels is net too much. Jacob G. Zerr spoke of the use of a drill on his farm, which had been set to drill a bushel and three pecks to the acre. By a mistake onlv a bushel and a peck Lad been put on one portion, i ne wneat came up m both portions, and the wheat was best where the smaller quantity had been sown. He then gave a result of his visit to the ritate College, where experimental plots of wheat are cultivated, and where shallow seeding has produced the best re sults. The secretary then read a letter from 11. J. Schantz, Esq., of Trexler town, l'a., in reference to wheat cul ture. Mr. Schantz bad been invited to attend the meeting, but was pre vented by illness in his family. He writes : ' Your eubject for discussion is one that every farmer ought to feel an interest in. For mv part. I have paid great attention to the sub ject, and have been experimenting lor some years. As regards depth, I have found that which was plant ed lrom one and a hall to two inches has stood the winter the best, espec ially in an open winter. As regards quantity, that I find depends a good deal on the soil and the time of planting. Soil well cultivated with live tons of stable manure and 200 pounds phosphate applied close to the wheat and sown or planted about the 25th day of September, with one bushel and a peck to the acre, h.os given me the best results and the best quality of wheat. Last year I had my wheat sown on the 12th of October, with five pecks of Martin s Amber, but the result was not so good, yielding only twenty- five bushels to the acre. My nephew Thomas S. Cooper,however, to whom 1 sold eight bushels of Martin s Am ber wheat, with which be planted six acres, having applied ten tons of stable manure, and planted the 23d of September. The yieid was 42 bushels to the acre, and to give you an idea 1 have mailed you a few bends of his wheat as a fair sample of its growth and quality. It was very prolific in straw and grain, and was cut on the 'Jin of July, whereas my own sown on the 12th of October under sod and without the applica tion of fertilizers, but well cultivated, was eight ta ten days later, so that I am satisfied it depends a great deal how the soil is prepared, and the time when sown, for the best yield." The sample of wiieal heads petit by Mr. Schantz were passed around and examined. The verdict was general that the heads were unusual ly tine. Curs for l'ilea.

Last year the standing was almost exactly the same. Worth Qnotlnc. Professor V. J. Beat's expert-' ments regarding the vitality of seeds are useful, but cannot be expected to show the remarkable vitality ex hibited by wild mustard and other like seeds, which remain thirty or forty years in the soil unimpaired, as Professor Real's experiments cov er only a tew years' time. Seeds possess an oily substance, which enables them to retain their vitality for a long time. The farmer who allows weeds to seed upon his farm bestows an inheritance of toil and vexation upon his followers. The Indeitendent tells of an Orange County farmer, who stops the leak of milk from his cow by plugging the teats with little wooden plugs, this is a remarkable experimented one to be recommended only with caution. The Prussian Minister of Agricul ture says: "1 cannot onlv acknowl edge that the application of arunc ial manure, in the shape of kainit, for districts of light, sandy scil, is of highest importance. One sandy field, sown te rye, produced lorty or fifty bushels per acre, by the ap plication of kainit, while another field near by .and precisely the same, was covered with a miserable pov erty stricken crop.not more than six or ten bushels to the acre." It is said that the ."spores" found in the smut on corn are so small that 7,500,000 can be placed side by side in the space of one square inch. Dr. Brown stated before the Mississippi Horticultural Society that, automatically considered, the leaf is an expended portion of the bark,the form nd working of which is made up cf the branching vessels of the food stalk. The external leaf is covered with a layer ot empty, united cells. The small opening in the leaves are connected by valves. The number of these is astonish ing; single square inch of the leaf of our common rhubarb contains 5000 and the hydrangea 160,000. Our leaves also possess glands, which serve as vessels, containing peculiar secretions, such as aromatic oil, honey and poison. In speaking of the mysterious burning of barns, the New York Tribune says "that hay will some times take fire spontaneously, even in cases where it appeared to be well cured. There is more danger when new hay, not well cured, is piled on old and very dry day, as new hay heats by partial fermenta tion as manure heats in a pile, and the old dry hay inclose contact will be easily ignited. The American Agriculturist says: "Have the roots of pits or cellars be fore the ground freezes ; do not cover pits too much before cold weather ; have earth ready to cover them with as thick a coating as they need when it comes on cold. It is well to protect the earth alongside the pits with tops, or potato vines, swamp hay or cornstalks, to keep it from freezing solid. The freezing line begins to move Southward along our Northern line in Octo ber and ofter moves rapidly. Many a farmer will be caught with his root pins half protected and the ground frozen solid six inches deep before he thinks it is possible." Form and Home recomnds the use of muck as a source of revenue. An experience of twenty years has con firmed their wisdom and trust in this fertilizer. It is recommended to be exposed to the frosts and weather for at least one year, but. it is not necessary where the muck is in a field that has been cultivated unless dug to a great depth. One hundred and ten bushels of potatoes were grown on a sandy loam by fur rowing deeply and covering each hill with a shovelful of muck. Noth ing more was done to the piece un til time to cultivate, when a little dirt was brushed over the muck,and the tubes came out smooth and of a. high quality. The greatest value was found to be when composted with wood ashes. Muck is not es pecially good for grain. A com pound of two-thirds muck and one third stable manure is excellent for pet Hoes on lightish land. The dress ing is elegant for grass land in the Fall. Prolessor Manley Miles gives his experience in drainage, considering j that the physical condition of the soil, which is improved by drainage has not received proper attention. It is admitted that a large portion of the tile drains have failed to do all that is expected of them. The failures are the result of neglect of well established principles in con nection with defective excavation. The slope should be uniform, espec ially where there is but little fail. Work should be begun at the lower end of the ditch, and with reasona ble care no difficulty should occur. The same paper gives an interest account of the "silo system" being J abandoned. There was too much expense for the benefits derived. The object was to make money out ot cattle, and not simply manure and labor. Good judgment told him to stop and he did so he made a mistake in building the silo and acknowledges it. The "Husbandman" speaks of the indication that the Hussion flay will take our wheat fields again another season. Tbey multiply rapidly and are able to effect complete destruc tion of wheat if permitted to occupy the field. A suitably late sowing was reccommended, also, burning, and yet, when a field is seeded to clover, fire cannot be introduced with impunity. Early frosts put an end to the work of the flies for that neason. While there is an object to late seeding it is a question of wheat or no wheat. I will suggest, in this connection, that all sow commercial fertilizer with wheat late sown ; it pushes forward the growth rapidly and hastens the season of ripening ; also, by preparing the soil in the best possible manner previous to seeding we can induce rapid growth that will in a measure make up for late sowing.

Colonel Nat Hammond was on the train not long ago, when a lank, inquiring looking stranger moved across the aisle and tooK a seat by him. He gazed attentively for a full minute at him and then said : "Howdy do?" "I am well, sir " replied Colonel Hammond. A pause for about two mintee; then : "What might your name be?" "My name is Hammond, 6ir. A still longer pause, and then : "I hope there ain't no harm done?" "There is not sir !" An embarrassing 6ilence, during which the stranger contemplated Colonel Hammond closely; then, "You see. I've got an uncle lives up in Tennessee.that I ain't never seen, and I thought I might come up on him some time by jist asking folks their names !" He raid. "I notice by the papers," he said, as he waited for the froth on his beer to settle, "that a man in a Chi cago saloon fell dead just as he fin ished drinking a glass beer."

THE OLD ESTABLISHED IS I have iutt received two car loads of the most complete Western Wagon in the market for Road or Farm Purposes. On tbe latter there is a Hear Brake, to be used when hauling hay or grain, a something tliut farmers know tbe necessity of when hauling on hilly wagon has laid in stock three years before being worked up, insuring the work to be a g hi y seasoned before being ironed. Being the patentees of the DOUBLE COLLAR AND OIL CUPS, It is the only Wagon made that has this improvement. It avoids the necessity of taking off the wheels to grease, as in the old style ,- by sim ply turning a cap the wagon can be oiled in less than five minutes. This Wagon wants to be seen to be fully appreciated, and parties wishing to buy will do well to see it before purchasing elsewhere. EVERY WAGON FULLY INSURED. In offering this make of Wagon to the public, will say I used the same make of Wagon for five years when freighting across the Rocky Moun r 7 tains, over roads that were almost impassable, and they always stood the test. I feel warranted in saying.I believe them the Best Wagon on wheels. Call on Oliver Knepper or Henry BefQey, who will show you the Wagons. M9-AOENTS WANTED THROVGHOVT THE COVSTY. R. HEPFLEY.
