MANURE TOP.DRESSING, &C.
Manure in the form of compost, consisting
a t a m ixture either with a copious amount of
straw, well rotted down, or with layers of
loam, turf or peat, should by all means be ap
plied early in autumn ; and the best applica
tion is either as top-dressing to grass lands,
especially meadows, or to new wheatflelds, af
ter the last plowing has been done. There are
several advantages of top-dressing meadows
early in autumn. It assists in retaining the
moisture of the soil which otherwise might
became quite dry, and pinch the growth of the
grass; it furnishes nutriment to the plants
just. after the half dormant season of mid-sum
mer, and they spring up with great freshness
and vigor through the manure, and manure
and grass together form an excellent end dense
protection to the roots of the plants for winter.
Partial failure often occurs in top-dressing by
the careless and imperfect manner in which
the work is done—it is scattered unevenly and
in 111Mpa ; while a portion of the grass is mi
sapplied, other portions are too heavily covered
er smothered. The same amount of -manure
spread evenly over the whole surface would be
of triple value; and it may therefore be of
great importance to employ a hand to pass, by
regular strips, over the field, and break and
scatter all lumps left by the first spreading.—
Much of the facility of spreading depends on
the mechanical condition of the manure at the
time, :he character of the component. parts
previously used, the degree of moisture, .gm—
If quite wet when spread, it will be hard to
avoid some lumps; in a few days, when these
become dry, they may be broken or crushed
with a roller and spread by passing a fine har
row over the ground.
We have on former occasions spoken of the
advantages of top-dressing wheat about the
time of sowing. There is no question that in
most cases this is the best way of manuring
the crop at the North. The only exception
perhaps, is where the soil is already quite rich,
and where it may promote too luxuriant a
growth of straw. Its advantages are, enrich
ing the surface near which most of the wheat
roots remain; preserving the moisture of the
sail at a time when it is frequently affected by
drouth ; giving a vigorous start to the young
plants, and preventing their destruction by
winter killing. We have known, in an extreme
saes, a moderato top-dressing of manure to
part of a field of Mediterranean wheat, to give
a yield of twenty-five bushels per acre, where
the rest of the field which was unmanured,
was so nearly destroyed as not to be worth cut
ting. Several good farmers, who have long
practiced this mode, have found it usually to
increase the crop about eight bushels per acre.
Another, and by no means the least advantage,
is the assistance it gives to the riling clover
plants, as well as insuring their germination—
making a difference in extreme cases equal to
doubling the amount of seed.
In preparing manure for another year, an
abundant supply of absorbents is important.—
These must vary with circumstances ; where
straw is abundant it answers a good purpose if
time can be allowed for it to become well rot
ted down. The facility with which it may lie
used for litter, and being always easily spread
in cold weather, it is most conveniently used.
Turf answers a good purpose, but cannot be
well employed when frozen hard. The same
remark will apply to muck or peat, unless it
has been well dried. In fact peat is of Com
paratively little value when used wet. It will
hold like a sponge, about nine-tenths of its
weight of water; and hence, when saturated,
cannot absorb the liquid parts of the manure.
Every care should therefore be taken to have
it well dried. It should be dug out of the
swamps, if practicable, in summer, or early in
autumn, and the ,present season is therefore
the time to secure a large supply. A mistake
is often made in - throwing it. in piles on the
ground, where it sucks up, like a sponge, the
water from the soil beneath. It should, there
fore, tie thrown on a platform made of poles,
'brush, slabs, or plank, and if the heaps can
not be covered with boards or thatch, they
shored ee beaten smooth with a spade, so as to
throw off the rains. This may appear to some
to be much unnecessary labor, but it will amply'
repay all toe trouble, and increase many times
the value of the material used.
Farmers who have manure on hand too
coarse to be well applied in its present state,
should immediately form compost heaps.—
This may be done, in many eases, in or near
the fields where it is wanted, and thus save the
Isbor of drawing a part of the materials into
the barnyard and then back again to the fields.
Fence earner turf, and the washings of ditches
aud fields, fora an excellent material, The ha
ter may be found abundantly the present year
after so many heavy rains, and compost heaps
may be made near any large deposit. Stich
washings being entirely free from stones and
easily snoveled, besides containing considera
ble rich matter, are well adapted for this pur
pose. The thinner are the alternating layers
of manure and earth, as the heaps are built up,
the more perfect and thoroughly mixed will be
the compost.--Country Gentleman.
exPSUM AS A FERTILIZES.
la reply to a correspondent, who desired to
have the question "set at rest" whether plaster
is advantageous only to one crop on which it is
applied, - or whether or no its beneficial prodnc
fit* Influence attends to nueeeeding one•,
the editor of the Canadian Agriculturalist re
marks :
We scarcely feel o urselves competent "to set
at rest" she question which our correspondent
has proposed. The action of plaster, both in
this country and in Europe, is often attended
with peculiar difficulties, alike to the scientific
Chemist and prastiesl farmer_ In some locali
ties its applioation produces no sensible effects
whatever, while in others the results are of a
most striking character. Along the sea coast
it produces generally little or no effect while
in situations remote from oceanic influences,
its fertilizing power is quite marvellous. As
a sulphate of lime, it supplies to plants two
important ingredients—sulphate which some
soils do not possess in sufficient quantity. But
it would also upper that the gypsum acts ben
eficially in attracting moisture from the air,
and in fixing ammonia and other gaseous bo
dies floating in the atmosphere, and in bringing
them within the available requirements of
growing plants. The small quantity usually
applied as a top-dressing in spring, to clover,
Zie., although frequently attended by marked
effects on the firsterop, can produce, we should
imagine, but little influence on the second.—
But when larger quantities are applied ; as is
sometimes done to the hills of Indian corn, the
effects are frequently visible, within their
limited areas, in the succeeding crop. We
should be happy to receive a statement of the
views and experience of practical farmers on
ibis subject.

L BRANDY.
THE OHIO CATAWBA BRANDY has, for several
years, been manufactured from the pure juice of the
AMERICAN CATAWBA and ISABELLA GRAPE, ami
has attained a rare popularity throughout the West and
Routh, Where gr9o imutitios Of this superb SitSie is
Bold for MEDICINAL and FAMILY purposes. It no:
only equals, but excels the most choice IMPORTED
BRANDIES in PURITY, QUALITY and RICHNESS OF
FLAVOR, and wherever it has been introduced it had
invariably met the most unqualified favor and extended
sale.
The want of really pure Brandy has long been felt in
this country, and the opportunity to procure an article
of such quality as to supercede the sale and use of the
many vile compounds so often sold under the name of
Brandy, ,, can be regarded only as a public good.
L. LYON'S CATAWBA BRANDY possesses all the
choice qualities of the best importectliquor, and Is posi
tively known to be of PERNICEIT PURITY and of fiL".
PERIOD, PLIVOit.

certificate of the undermentioned well-known chemists :
