A. ContImuips Crop.
Sir J. B. Lawes has. just made public a
noteworthy fact as having come within his
own personal observatinn this year at-
Rothamsted) • He has _eight acres of mane
,gels under experiment on land which has
grown nothing but roots " for upward of
forty years, and.he has been inaoh struck
with their more rapid progress -an'd 'batten
appearanceseomparedtvith his main crop
of mange's; thirty acres in,extent, which.
elias been grown on the ordinary farm rota-
tion. This has resulted 'notwithstanding
the circumstance of the- main crophating
been heavily rnanured with,dung, and hav-
ing 1.ewt. of nitrate of scida applied as a
top dressing. He thinks. the cause can be
traced to the -abundant growth of weeds
this summer, .and the difficulty he has
experienced -in keeping his main- ceoP clean,
whereas it is necessaryon his experimental
field to pluck up every wild plant' as soon
as it appears, and he thinks. it very likely
that 'those -that , established •themselyes
in his main crop and werei-lOrdeitioyed• -
quickly .enough abstracited therefrom
snore nitrogen than . waeneuPplied by the.
nitrate of soda.' This ie eiliemely proba-
ble, •and farnaers' cannot' too strongly be,
impreseed with -the idea :that everyi "•weed"
they allow te . propagate, ie a thief. which,
appropriates plant food frem crops-- This.
is why the best farmers are great .enemies -
of weeds, and attack them root and branch
on all tiMes.and oceasions) ButSir J. E.

nitrates being washed out of the soils by .
raino. and carried 'offin dradnagewaters,
• and M. -Waringbon argued that, as the•
weeds :growing in stalables would belikely
to arrest and -apprepriate those • -nitrates
• which would otherwise be washed out and
lost, it was wrongto 'destroy them, •and that
they should be rather encouraged to grow
all through' the winter, purposely that they
might perform this friendly duty, mad prove.

•••• foob. dependa cooking.- Indeed, if -,-to
• be fbd largely raw, they produce scouring,_

so largely of starch that cooking is almost.1
indiapensable to aid* digeetiorr. A little
raw potato •is- beneficial to the hog's
stomach, when fed largely upon corn. It
is laxative and cooling, allaying the feverish
tendency from the Omitting effects of
corn, But *hen fed to get the most out of
them for fattening, potatoes should be
boiled scift,'and if grain' is fed with them
it would be best to boil both together: In
large kettles this is not very much labon,
even for a large number of hogs. Potatoes
and corn go very well together -the peta-
toes-give bulk and the corn gives concen-
trated nutriment. • *Hogs are likely to be
Minch healthier fed in this way than on.
corn alone.
•• Fali Isioughing.
Fall ploughing should be done early, and
as often as:possible. Wheat and rye stubt
ble should be -ploughed without delay if
they have notleeen seeded, because the coy-
erileg of it under four or five inches of soil
will destroy the immature Hessian flies.
But it must ' be done at once, or the flies
will escape from their hiding -places and
spread abroad to infest the newly sown
grain. The Stirring of the soil starts myrie
ads of weed rS into growth, which will SOOn
cover the ground, aid may be destroyed
with the greatest ease by a good harrowing.
More can be done in thia way than by
any other Work. Besides; this fall nultiva-
Mon of the land prevents many weeds from
seeding and. scattering their thousands of
seeds hroadoast to make several years'
weeding in the future. Another advan-
tage of Fall ploughing is that the- soil is
greatly benefited by its exposure to the air
and the sun's heat and if left fallow by the
winter's cold. s,
To Keep Salt Pork Frozn Spoiliog.
Farmers often wonder why their pork
epoils in summer when there is so much
salt in the brine._ It makes no difference
how much extra salt there may be 'fiff the
brine, nor how strong the brine is, if the
grease and impurities in, it, which always
rise to the surface; are allowed -to remain
there for any length of time, the pork' will
be injured. The grease and other inapuri-
ties on the surface coming in contact with
the air, they decay, Which produces putre-
faction, and this in turn taints the 'brine`,
which of course affects the -pork. It is
plain; then, that no amount of salt or
strength of brine will prevent this result,
unless the grease •and other impurities
mingled with the brine are removed, '
