The best method of.using stable or barn-yard manure for corn" jbr potatoes is to haul it fresh from the pile, spread it upon the ploughed field, and harrow it inl i TKis is what is called "long manure," and is a form which, according tohe opinions of manjH farmers, is unsuited to imme diate use; also, i is objected, that in ' spreading fresh manure upon ploughed fields and covering it only superficially with i earth, much of it is lost by evaporation; or, I more correctly speaking, certain volatile gaseous constituents rise on the breeze and are wafted away. In bur view, both of these notions are incorrect. The' excrement of animals must undergo a kind of fermentation, or putrefactive change, before it is assimilated by plants, and it is better that this be carried forward in the field,1 as there it is in contact with the soil, which is greedy to absorb all the products of the chemical; ;hange. j Creative power has bestowed upon dfy: earth prodigious absorptive capabilities. . If a lump of fresh manure as large as a peck measure is placed upon a ploughed field uncovered "and allowed to ferment and de cay! in the open a;ir, the absorptive powers ofthe earth are such that it wiU jactually attract toward it ammoniacal and other gass'cs, and thus rob the; atmosphere of its natural volatile principles. a mmoi earin no tnicKer man tne rina or an - !

In 1867 and 1 68 I made of thiscrop at the 1 - , -'i -1 j 1 rate ot 500 bushels peri acre- and I found it equal per bushel, I when boiled, to about' half bushel of corn ibr hogs. 1 I planted about the middle o.l JNoreniber The ground was an old brobmjstraw fie4.1 It was thoroughly plowed not sntsoiled abd run; off at about 21 feet with a' twb horse plow -twice in ihe same furrow. The potatoes were dropped jlO to 12 inches apart" in the bottom of -the furrow, and the furrow was pretty nearly, filled wjth un composted j manure iroin tne'horse stable, covr stable and hog .pen the' different kinds of manure making -but little difference in theyield. j The covering was done with a two-horse tnbuldboard furrow 00 each side, which put the pjotatoes; sbme 10 inches under the; ground. ;I; tried large potatoes whole, large potutoes cut,-and small potatoes, with no appar ent! difference in the result. The potatoes were worked twice with hoe and plow, once soon alter they came up ing began, ' 1 again 'about ; the time tuber- Thev were dug before the middle of July, ''-and yie ded at the rate of 500 bushels per acre in '67 and '68i j I may add that Col.

This year the crop was a failure from late frost nq early drought In '67 I tried the very same platf iwith a patch planted m March and the yield was less than 200 bushels per acre. J. hef advantages ;of rail planting are obvious. For me it doubled the yield. It is done when nothing else is bushmgi whereas Spring plantinsr is done when everything else is pushing. It is done with manure- that will be needed for noth ing; else before Spring and which will be in the way, or pughi tb be in f the way,) before the wiOteri is over whereas ppring planting is done witn manure that is neeaea tor everytmng eise nd besides it brings the potato forward earlier and saves the trouble of keeping seed through the winter. I leel assured that the potato will amply repay liberal treatment, and that now is the time to plan! it.l i1 I ! : Ito. BrNGnAM.

' I presume few will deny that more seed jwill come up from light covering than from dcep.j Probably "many may think deep covering necessary to proven t freezing out. If the members of the; Agricoltural Societies would -cive the! necessary attention to this sub ject, each trying ai few experiments in boxes or garden plots, they could probably get at the truth this very winter.)

It is said that Sir Edward Codrington when a young ofiicer at Toulon, was so anxious to dis tinguish himself that he passed the greater part of the day on deck, watching for signals to giv intelligence of the movements of the French vessels, and when he retired, he sank into a sleep so profound that the loudest noises did not awake him; but whein the word '-signal' was- whisper ed in his cabin, he immediately sprang up. ThiJ anecdote proves how sleepless in the. miist of the profoundest slumbers is that faculty oftht soul which for the time ; being is intensely ex cited. ' '''.', ' ' ' " -- ;-; . The same tiruth is well illustrated in the ease of the mother! She is the most slcenless Derson. ' in the household. "For months and often for years, she does not enjoy two consecutive hours of sleep. ' But it is not the noises in tho street, nor anxiety, npr nervousness", that disturb her repose.. She can 6lccp soundly when others art made wakeful by unusual sounds or voices. ' Bat there is one sound one voice, more potent La her ears than all others; it is the voice of her child. . When! that is heard, even in the faintest whispcj, she arouses from the deepest sleep; how ever insensible she pay .be to other voices, that on nevcf fails to he- hcaljd by her quick ear.-. Jj, . -. Mothers often relate that, lon after their childri havej grown fo' manhood. ,&hd woman- ' hood, -k they , are startled . from theirvslumbers by the old . and familiar cries of their baby hood. ,-''' ' ' This instinctive wakefulness of the mother to the wants or her child teaches a most important lesson in the care of. children at-night. . It is a growing praQttceTio . our, nrst-cuss. lamuies l It th6 n nt to the - care of the nurse nt nc.0.;4ha'.jthe. mother inay not .be disturbed, but may4feuMj her" 'regular and full amount of sleep. This if done under the preUnco that the mother's hcnlth rc'"rp t1 t her 'bight's rest should not be brol" n by the care of the child. Except in ext,rac -y casesr there is no truth in the assertion;' ii mother and child are in ordinary healt1,, the t proper care of her infant at night docs t tx, the mother beyond her strength whil j udjeipus care of the child by the inotho r c ... ihhes greatly tho irritability ani4 restlessness Ci the former. r I But tht 2 are certain positive evils and dan gers attending the care of the infant by a nurse at night. It will prove; in nine cases out often that the nurse considers her own. sleep of para mount importance, and in about the proportion given it will be found that she manages to ob tain it. In the first place, her affections are not . stimulated by the child, and hence her sympa thies arc not enlisted in , its care and welfare. She sleeps quite unconscious of and undisturbed by its cries, when its plaintive .voice penetrate to the mother's ear, though in a distant and se cluded part of the house. ; Thus many a helpless infant that has become j tired of lying in one position, and merely requires to be changed to secure perfect rest and quiet, cries itself asleep from sheer exhaustion, unable to arouse the : leaden ears of its nurse. 1 One of tho first and ' most dangerous consequences of committing the child to the care of the nurse at night is her liability when asleep to over-lay and smother -it without hearing its stifled cries. The Eng- ' lish mortuary records thow thit twb or three hundjed children are thoe lilled.au nually. But if the child escapes death or injury from this cause, it is by no means free from danger from other sources. It is. liable to be habitually drugged to sleep. . This may, and doubtless will be regarded by many as an unjust suspicion up- . on their own ''faithful' nurses; but there are too many facts accumulated against them to make it doubtful. It must be assumed as a truth that nurses will have their own usual amount of sleep. If they cannot . obtain it on account of the restlessness ofthe child, they soon learn the remedy for its sleeplessness. They try it secret ly and cautiously Jand find it succeeds perfectly: they repeat it with ' equal success several times; ana now, maae ooia ana con n a en t. tnev samin- istcr the anodyne with libera) hand every night. or at least when they fear the child will disturb their own slumbers. A child thus treated soon becomes unusually irritable and, peevish, its di gestion is impaired, its complexion is a dirty, sallow hue, it suffers from constipation, and finally sleeps soundly only when under tho in fluence of its accustomed drug. How many children in every wealthy and fashionable com munity, with good native constitutions, fall into premature decay from thii cause, it is impossible to determine; but the coroner's inquests prove that many infants die annually from the impro- n . i. . m 1 . . it use 01 tne arogs in constant use io many nurseries. . . . It can but be regarded as an axibm of the utmost importance in the rearing of children, that the mother should have the personal charge and care of them at night. A medical writer of great experience says: ''How many children sleep the sleep of death through the undue administration of carminatives and other nostrums; It je- quifes the mother's greatest vigilance to prevent such weapons being introduced into the nursery; for a nurse, however otherwise excellent, is spt to prefer the comfort of uninterrupted slumber ' to the performance of her duty in studying the welfare of the child committed to her care." If you plough ' down your weeds before they go to seed they will prove a benefit to your hrod instead of a curse. If they are allowed to go to seed they will prove a source of endless trouble. Ploughed under,' they are worth as much as a dressing of manure.' .'At a medical examination, a young 'aspirant for a physician's diploma was asked, "When does mortification ensue ?" lWhenyouare promised and rejected," was the reply that greeted the auiaztd questioner. 50,000 Fruit Trees.
