The physleai state of the suneful the nat- ure of the plait are not the only eonsldera• tions which iatluenee the direction taken by roots in the soil. It is a well known feet that these organs dime, tile.tllsele•ee temente the fer:eltzing elements, when these, owing to their insolubility cannot travel towards I. he mine by tneune of the water in the soil. Without entering into an explanation of title faculty of the route, we may say that it player ill mpnrko t part in the nutrition of the plant. !ditch of the fertilizing material in the soil is found in the form of ineolubie particles, and it is only by an exceptionally favorable chance that it cranes in contact with the roots, if these latter did not,sonte• what intuitively, as It were, go in eearoh thereoL Darwin has compared the root to a burrowing animal ; to a mole which avoids or pushes aside obstacles when seek• Mg for its food. When the soil is poor and its physical properties are not opposed to the development of the root, these have a tendency to sink to great depots to seek for the nourishment which they fail to find in the upper layers. Thus we often see plants having a vigorous vegetation in soils which are almost barren of nutritive materials, because the roots have been able to sink lows and seek in the lower layers the nottrish:r,eu t the superficial soil could not supply. Striking instances of this can be seen In forest growth and also in the vine. 1t is not uncommon to finch roots of the latter which are 40 to 60 feet in length. Deep tillage and subsoiiing by mellowing the soil,eiable the toots to penetrate touch deeper and consequently to bring to the surface the fertilizing materials which are situated in the depths of the soil. 11 is only in a sufficiently permeable and aerated sub- soils that the touts can thus develop their eyetem. When we have to deal with imper- meable subsoils or compuet clays and hard rook, ;he'tlevelopment of the roots, s0 far as depth is concerned, is arrested, and they proal over the impermeable layer, just as they would over the bottom of a vase. But iu this case the conditions of nutrition are leas favourable and the plants have a tend- ency to die early ; lucerne, tor instance, dies as soon m its roots reach a layer of soil which arrests their development, the length of life in this plant being proportion- al to the depth ot the subsoil, quite as much as to :he fertility of the soil. A. New Theory of Manuring. Up to this time the method of feeding plants rests to a great extent on the law of Liebig—that we must give to the soil the foods of which it contains the minimum qualities. There is no doubt that this doctrine is far from explaining all the facts observed in these latter times, and we are obliged to fall back upon various auxiliary hypotheses. From numerous experiments it is known that plants iso not absorb in it 081(0001 manner any food throughout the period of growth, and that in this respect plants differ one from another. Tiros cereals absorb the greater part of their nitrogenous nutrimentbefore the formation of the ear, that is in a very limited number of weeks, and are afterwards content with a very small ration, Many other planta, however, absorb uniformly, and during all the summer, quantities of food proportional to the organic matter produced. Rational- ly we might then to give to the first a eery soluble manure, to the other's a manure which only furnishes assimilable foots gra- dually as it decomposes, From these lat- ter farmyard manure is more advantageous than more soluble fertilizers. It Is not suf• ficiene, therefore, to only give to the sof the substances necessary to the develop• mens of the plant, but to give them at the right moment. Moreover it is ueces• sary to know in what manner the plant de. mends food ; in other words, what is the extent of the work of assimilation, because we know that certain plants are content with a light manuring, while others only arrive at complete development In a etch soil. Such are some of the ideas lately put forward by Herr Liebecher. 11115 author Inas collected a large number of facts gather. ed from different works on the composition of cultivated plants at different stages of growth, and he has constructed diagrams, which show very clearly that to each plant corresponds a certain course of absorption. It would be desirable that researches in this direction be carried out in great num- ber, and create the foundations of a good theory of manuring universally applicable to practice. It is clear that the plant which demands a large quantity of nitrogen dur• ing a short period of its growth, and which absorbs phosphoric, acid uniformly during its existence, will require treatment dif• ferenb to that which we should give to a plant which absorbs nitrogeu little by little, and which, requires at a given time a great increase in the ration of phosphoric aoid. Our Agricultural Beeources• (Professor trfacoun, ioKingeton News.) The egg produced in Canada, is far more nutritious than the egg produced a hundred miles to the south. Why? For the same reason that our animals are fatter than those of lower latitudes. The fattening of an animal depends on the temperature of the air, as does the quantity of its hair or wool. Some weather prognosticators re. cantly predicteda mild winter because wild animals were not provided with a heavy covering. They were putting the effect before the cause, Mild weather produces% light covering, and severe weather a heavy one. As with the hair or wool, so with the tat. In Canada fat is a eonsequeuce of the climate, and in the highest latitudes it is thickest. Ten or twelve years ago the notion prevailed that we could not fatten cattle In the Northwest, but would have to send them south before they would be fit to sell, lecnnse of our austere climate and the lack of proper grass, In point of fact, we Itave the hest climate and we have the best grass, In the Northwest the season 10 so short that the grass of the prairies is checked before it runs to seed, and is dried with all the nu- triment in the blade. On such food and in a climate favorable to the production of fat, is it any wonder that cattle are easily brought to perfection. Fruits and Honey. Canada is peouliarlygnalified to pt'oduee the best of everything. Canadian apples were formerly dent to Boston and there shipped to Eoglabcl as American. Now the best. apples that reach London tome from the Annapolis valley abs the north shore of Lake Ontario, The best apple -growing country in the United States is Michigan on the same belt as Ontario --in fact that State alone oat produce a plea equalling ours, Calilorole„eppdeeand pears, though large, are soft and poor in flavor.

Cereals. In 1870, on account of the graeehopper plague, Manitoba was actually obliged to import seed wheat, and it was brought from Minnesota. That was the beginning of what is today known as Manitoba lard wheat. The Minnesota wheat was we much improved by its transfer north that now itis in special request south of the line. The tnillers of St. Paul import it to [nix with their own grain, grind it into flour, and ship the flour to the old country as the product of domestic wheat—the growth, of course, of Dakota 1 Our barley, everybody knows, is the best In America, and it is made so by our climate. And the territory within the Dominion available for barley -growing is almost um limited. Fourteen years ago I announced that west of Winnipeg there were 200,000,. 000 acres of land suitable for wheat•growing. That statement has never been proved wrong. 1 am now prepared to say that on the northern margin of that belt, there are 100,000,000 acres of land suitable for the growth of barley. Everyone knows that barley will ripen in a much shorter time than wheat—in from 110 to 120 day's. Thin renders available a vast tract of arable land beyond the wheat belt, Thus it will be seen that as to the production of grata the re. 000 000 of the country are almost endless, In December a meeting of the American Geological Association held in Ottawa, at whiob l'rof. Magee, of Washington, former. ly of Iowa, admitted that Canada owned three•fourths of the wheat lands of the American continent. Is it any wonder that they want to annex us ? In 1875 I was in the vicinity of Lake Athabasca, and found the finest wheat I ever saw. It was a re - makable discovery to me ; and that sued wheat was produced there was a scien- tific fact of such importance that I decided to bring specimens of the wheat in the ear away with me ; so 1 brought a large quantity of Barre to Ottawa just as I had taken them from the sheaves in the field. At Ottawa, on my return, I met a number of gentlemen, and among them the American consul, Consul Taylor—'SaskatohewarTaylor.' Four years ire had been preaching to the Americans in St. Paul that on the Saskatchewan were the finest wheat fields upon the earth. He said to me. 'Have von wheat from the north?' I said. 'I have.' I got it out and showed it to l'im, and the ears were broader than the baso of my thump. ' Now,' he said, ' I am going to tell you a singular thing. From whatever cause, wheat as it approaches its northern limit becomes more productive, The whole power apparently is turned into the production of Beed." He tools one of my ears of wheat and held it up. Here at Kingston, if you take an car of wheat, you will find in the fascicles an average of t'1.2 grains each—sometimes two, sometimes three. If. you go to Manitoba you will find sometimes three grains in the fascicle, some- times four, or an average of :1 1.2. But at Edmonton the average is 4 1.2. What does that mean? If you raise 20 bushels to the acre here, you can raise 30 in Manitoba, or 40 at Edmonton, from the same number of straws. Well, on the ears I brought from Athabasca there were sometimes five grains in the fascicle. and sometimes six, making an average of 5 1.2 1 It was not difficult to take an ear in my !nand and count 100 groins in that one ear. As you go northwest the wheat product increases in a wonderful ratio.The oats in Athabasca were preoisely the risme. Some of the ears of oats were about 14 inches and the stalks were almost half au inch thick. Fictitious Butter•Making• Farmers sometimes expect too much from science in the way of aiding theirohosen vocation, and an are the more easily made dupes of by so•oailed scientists who pretend to h the made great discoveries. As com- paratively few farmers are soientlfioally educated they have no means of refuting claims whtoh are put forth in this way, unless their own good commonsense enables them to do so. While it is well to bo open to conviction upon any matter looking toward au im• provetnent over our present methods or to an accomplishment of greater results, we should be careful not to accept too readily anything which our sober judgment cannot endorse. This suggestion is palled out just now by learning that some very good farmers and dairymen are inclined to put faith in the wfdoly advertised Australian Butter Com- pound. At least they are Inclined to put some money into a test of the compound's remarkable virtues. This compound, which is called " Blank Pepsin," purports to bear the endorsement of the South Australian Dairyman's Association ; and ie is claimed that its use will very largely increase the amount of butter which may be secured from e. given amount of milk, The amount of butter that can be made from a given quantity of milk is strictly limited by the amount of butter fats which the milk contain. And there is no way in which these can be more fully secured than by the well•known ootnbinatlon of a good dairy -maid and a good chum. There are other Bolide besides butter fats in the milk, but they are not butter. And it is quite true that certain chemicals will co- agulate these solids so that they may be combined with the butter fats. But the produot is not butter, nor can it be sold as ouch in any good market, Itis quite safe to say that all sohetnes such as this, whiob purport to get some. thing out of nothing are fraudulent, mud the wise farmer will not squander his money upon them. There are plenty of ways in which the dairy product can be increased and the quality improved at the sans time, But it is by going to the bot- tom of things and by putting the money into better stook, better feed and better care.

Ile is a ball groom that employs the comb roughly and the brush lazily. The horse that has steady work each day is hest able to stand hard work, Never run after a horse in the posture. If he does not like to be caught coax hint with a little grain but never deceive him with an empty dish. A foal from parents of pleasant dispesi• tion is usually more tractable to break and handle than where the ancestors were noted for unplesuant disposition. Some horsemen, when going to the pas. titre, whether they wish to catch to horse or not, always carry a tidbit—an ear of corm a handfed of oats, an apple or a carrot, a cheek or sugar or salt. The breaking of a young horse is com- paratively easy if we change the word ' break " to " teeth," and begin to teaoh as soon as the pupil is old enough to under- stand, which will be a very short time after birth. Go into the average farm stable and you enter an abode of terror could the horses give their• opinion of it. Here you stand in an atmosphere charged with noxious gases from the decomposition of their excreta. Here the germs of disease swarm in my- riads seeking for chance to multiply still farther within the body of the horse ever• sated by disease. Sega.

Clover is the best Drop that a man can raise, and to handle hogs on a farm with profit, yon should have plenty of clover. One mistake the New England farmer is making today in tea cases out of every fif- teen is that he has no producing sow in his pen. The pig that is ready at eight months old yields rnore profit to the grower every time than do those kept to a greater age and a heavier weight. Make friends with the sows, so that you can go into the pen at any time without disturbing them ; this is an important item in pig growing. Raising hogs for market is not the pleas- antest work imaginable, nor is a pig pen the daintiest of pens to work with, but the farmer who has made his Iiving by this kind of a pen for a few years past, finds himself financially far ahead of Itis neighbor who hates to work with hogs and Clings to small grains. W hen Edison was Young. " I was ani operator in the Memphis office when Thomas A. Edison applied to the manager for a position," said A. G. Bock. feller, a member of the Reminiscence Club, St, Louie. " He came walking into the office one morning looking like a veritable hayseed. He wore a hickory shirt, a pair of butternut pants tucked into the tops of boots a Size too large and guiltless of black- ing. ' Where's the boss 0' was his query as be glanced round the office.

He was assigned to a desk and a fnssillade of winks went the rounds of the omce, for the ' jay ' was put on the St Louis wire, the hardest iu the office. " At the end of the line was an operator who was chain lightning and knew it. Edi- son had hardly got seated before St. Louis responded and St Louis started in on along report, and he pumped it in like a house afire. Edison threw his leg over the arm of hie chair, leisurely transferred a wad of spruce gum front his pocket to hie mouth, picked up a pen, examined it critically, and started in, about 200 words behind. He didn't stay there long, though. St. Louis let out another lick of speed, and still an• other, and the instrument on Edison's table hummed like an old-style Singer sewing machine, Every man in the office left his desk and gathered' round the 'jay' to see what he was doing with that electric cyclone, Well, sit•, he was right on the word, and wee putting it clown in the prettiest copperplate hand you ever saw, even crossing his ti's, dotting his l's and punctuating with as much care as a man editing telegraph for rat' Printers.

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges- tion, When there ie an insnffdcient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. .As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con- tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and Iabor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied— This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de- rangement. CRAWFORDri7lLLF., Ivo„ seg. r0, '86.
