The laid meet ll*u only be kept produ.cing hat predadag rod crops We sweet ant more beard to •lbw ear lands to go hclle for • whole year that Whey may be better prepared to grow wheat the followi•g ye -r to be .old .t little more than WWI cents p.. ..wheL The farm- e rs will all agree with mo wheel I my that land cannot be enmaer•fallowed .t • less east than fitl w $10 per acre, providing that labor of men and team had to be hired This would mean that the cost of the bare fallow to Ontario every year would not he less than from $1,500,000 to 81,000,000. This caleulauon as lased on the arnmpuua that one-fourth of the laid how sown to winter wheat has been previ- ously semmer-fallowed, which is probably • long .ay under rather than over the mark It has beau observed that good crops usually come after the baro fallow, heaps the unfounded notify, has arisen that in lore way fertility is added to the land by the process of the hare fallow. The oppo. five . true, especially w a wet season. There is a m.tenal l..e of nitrates which are wafted out of the soil and pin away in the drainage water. The reit- sou of the better crops that come after is found to the cleaning of the Land, and in tbeunlocking of;iuert fertilitythrough ex• posure of fresh surfaces to the weather in the process of doing the work. The bare fallow rather takes from than adds to the fertility of the lend. osire T/UN Oa0ED. But it a objected that the land must be cleaned, and there is no other way in which t his can be effectively dune hut by means of the Imre fallow. The first of these "Nee - terns . true, but not the second. Weeds ran be destroyed without the use et the tare fallow a: all ; nay, they can be effec- tively destroyed without musing a single crop. 1 even go farthdr and clam that they may be effectively destroyed and two crops grown to • stele season. Al the ex- perimental farm, t,uciph, we have repeat- sldlyleaotd fields of weeds during the past •thr. years, and have grown two paring pops while doing at. The work has peen w effectively doue that since the cleaning process • man can go over from ten to twenty ac1e ID a day with • spud and take out everything that should not be there. I will wt go over the various pro- cesses adulated at this time, Mit will simply My that the creams used were the growing of rye and clover and cutting these at the proper stage, the growing of various kinds of hoed crops and caring for these properly-, r and gtvtag due aemnLNro tu autumn cniti- i watioo. I hay it in all confidence that in a few years the farmers of this beautiful Province could clean the hurt- Lal weed out of it in a few veers ao completely that 1010 acres could be kept clean thenceforth by the use of the spud at an outlay of not more than Ilea a year, and all this may be doue while paying crops are being grown i and without the use of the bare fallow. The farmers in clearing their fields usually do ' not go quite far euough. The work is not thorough. and then at . not C.liowed up, pbets e about every hie rears they have W • resort to the bare fallow io clau it again. The weed Lill of this country is simply enormous. w>suvAtiov ter FERTILITY. We must also pay more attention to the o conservation of fertility. It is in the extra L bushels of a crop that the profit usually consists. Tuese eztra bushels canted tutu- ! ally be obtained without good farming gen- erally, and this means that the land be kept m a good state of fertility. Now. there are three moles of securing this end. 0.. ' of these comsat. in the purchase of areal- . cal fertilizer., a seeond to the keeping of live stock to the greatest possible a•ztest, and the third is to grow crops which bring fertility to the land. The first must be done with very great francs, as we cannot Alford to .ppb• fertilizers in en unless way. It is of the third that I wash more particu- larly to speak, as where it is practiced, stock-k.ping will of neaeeuty also receive much attention. We have two very excel. lent crop. which can be grown almost aay- • where in C uteric, both of which rather ea- noh than impoverish the soil whsle they are being group. especially sr far as nitro- gen is concerned, and that is, of course, , the wetly element of fertility. I refer to clover end pias. 1t is a fact that clover will produce two crops • year and leave the . oil ocher in nitrogen than it was before these were grown. Ther crops have the power of drawng foe nitrogen from the atmosphere and storing it in their roots and . tees, besot they not only leave the ground richer in nitrogen but also furnish Urger storm of this in the portion of the plant used as food. This explains the fact that both those crops are almost sure to be followed by good results when winter Wheat comes alter them. as it is • plant that will not do well in soila not well supplied with nitrogen. Mien we e•a grow peas s, admirably on bvIT soils, t us cease to lament that we have to give op the growing of barley to so gnat an .stent. 7,I ADD 7o THE raorrni. To add to oar prn6u we must sane mise in feeding. This implies that we must only keep stock of • certain kind, and that we must grow cheap tool for feeding it All along the line good blood mut be introduced on the aide of the sire; on the side of the dam it se far Iva neermary To effect improvement in stock keeping, and rapid improvement, it is not neows•ry that the farmers of this province purchase one female more than those they now pnwes, tut they must give Increased mttestion to the use of good area In the test at the (ae!ph statics a scrub steer at the age of nee year oast $10 mon titan Ike average of ntlter grades with ireved blood. that is to my, when fend values were reckoned and also a fair prim, pat upon the meat, this animal was M)timd the others in the race to the vales n1 morn than $10.

With the prow of the present we must study economical production. \dopey may still he made at farming, but in order to make at we must give close attention to our methods, and discard all those that are even of doubtful utility.

The drummer had been telling stories ou the tram to the ei:tertaiument of all within hearing, and after he had settle 1 down to his detective store, price twenty-five cents trout any tram boy, a nota •eros• the stale got up and eaten over to him. "Gz. use me, he said as he sat down, "but 1 have been listening to some of your ex nonce*, and they hare reminded me of a few of my own."

"Thet'a what they all say," said the man quite undisturbed by the doubt implied.

Many a tune had he gone out of his way to do a good turn for some one in distress, anti he had been late to dinner, or he had not come home to dinner at all. "Poor Jim !" he would say when he did arrive. "He is in a bad way, and I can re- member when he was • bright young fel- low. I had to straighten him up a little when I met httu, and it took souse tune." He was a "clever fellow, in all that the term implies He !ailed to respond to the plea of a (lend or a former friend, if he were in • position to do so.

The Haste ftteel Proeees, According to statements made by Mr. F. B.

Further, while the bate process peewees the advantage of being applicable to either the Bessemer or open-beartb method, uta use &n America in connection with the latter kind of fur• uses is most promsug of successful results, aid the indications aro chat the growth of the steel industry of the Uuitd States will partake hugely of this character. The Moller Colton Corpree& The adoption throughout the Wroth of the roller cotton compress, which by • pro- cess simple ser principle, and using ne more power than is required for the plantation Isale, will, it is anticipated, become very general, the capacity of the spperatus being equal to turning out a hale of ler bulk, greater density, and of more even and smooth exterior than the large steam com- pressions make. The invention is expected LO take the place of both the plantation press of to -day and the big compresses scat- tered over the country. Substituted for the ordinary plantation press, it will take the cotton right from the gin and tun oat a 300 -pound tale es small es, if not smaller, than • dale that has been crushed in the powerful hydraulic presses that are located at the various shipping points ; and a bale front the roller tamprees is ready to pat of the can and be shipped direct to the mill, saving, of coarse, the charge end expense of anloading and reloading, and doing away with one set of tnol.11etren altogether. The amount of money that is paid out an - D ually for compressing the bales after having left the country gins is very large, and this, it is chane., is by this apD.- ratue oared to producers and oossumere alike.
