In all oases, the land should receive a liberal dressing of manure, bo ploughed in the spring and be harrowed to a state of fine tiltit before the seeds are planted, The time at which Indian corn fo^foddor may be planted with the best results is the beat time at which to plant or sow these coeds also. In most distrioto that period is during the haat ton days of May, or late enough in the sense:( to escape frosts at nigh;, and early enough to give the plants the advantage ofos long a season for grow. fug as is practicable. The horse beans and sunflowers are less liable to injury front frost than Iludian corn. The Indian corn and horse beans (which have bon mixed) are to bo planted in rows $ feet apart, with from 2 to 4 grains per lineal foot in every row. A horsepower corn planter or aced drill may be used for that purpose. Or they may be platted in hills 3 feet apart both ways, with from 6 to 10 graine'in every hill. A horse. tower or hand corn planter may be used. If none of these implements and no other suitable planter be available, furrows 3 inches deep may bo plowed 3 fent apart. The seeds may bo put in them and covered, after which the field should be rolled. The sunflower seeds are to be planted by themselves, in rows three foot apart with not trnre than 3 or 4 seeds per foot in the row. They any be planted with a small hand planter, or by a method similar• to the mus which is used with the Indian corn and horse benne. All the seeds should be planted to a dopth of (roan 2 to 3 inches. Only in cases when a crust forms on the land, before or immediately after the plants come up, a light harrowing will prove helpful to the crop. The cultivation between the owe, when the plants are small, should be close to them ; when the plants leave grown to a height of 2 feet, it should be more distant nd shallow, fit order not to injure the side roots. • The crop is to be cut when the Indian aero reaches the " glaring" stage of growth, that is when the ears are just past the best condition for table use. The corn and beans may be cut by hand or by any of the devises in use for cutting fodder corn in the field. The heads only of the sunflowers are to be used. They may be cut by a common reaping hook or other knife. They may be put dirootly into a waggon or cart, or into a bosket or into heaps, from whtoh they may be loaded afterwards. When the Indian corn has reached the " glazing" stage of growth, the crop is to be put into the silo without willing or dry Ing ; but if and when it has not reached the "glazing" stage before frost comes, it is to be cut and left to wilt or dry in the field for shout one day. The corn and beans (from two acres) are to to be out in lengths of from one-half inch to one inch and put into the silo ; and the hods only (from half an acre) of sunflowers are to be out with them. They may be fed through the outtiug-box on and with Dorn and beans. A fairly even distribution of the mixture should be rade in the silo while it is being tilled. If the leaves and lighter parts are permitted to flutter into one place, and the stalks, ears Lind heavier portions are allow. ed to settle by themselves, the ensilage will not keep well. The mixture is to be tramped thorough. ly around the aides and in tl.e corners of silo, A thio layer ot uncut corn stalks should be put between the " Robertson Mixture" and the other contents (if any) of the silo, in order to mark the exact place in the en. silage. After the silo is filled, the surface should bo levelled and thoroughly tramped, and after the lapse of not more than one day it should be covered to a depth of six inches with out straw or cheap fodder. If this be tramped occasionally, and a foot of out straw be put on top of that a few days later, probably no 'waste ensilage will be found on the opening of the silo for feed - The "Robertson Mixture" is to be fed with 4 lbs. less meal or grain per tO lbs. of ensilage than has been required with ordinary Indian coon ensilage to make an 000nonical ration for feeding milking cows and fattening cattle. Ensilage has come to mean any kind of fodder which is cured and preserved in a Emollient state for the feeding of domestic animals. The silo has no power to add any nutrient to the fodder which is put i stn it for preservation. Its contents may become more digestible and palatable by the changes which proceed slowly under the action of ferments, or they may become less pleasant and wholesome, if fermentation goes too far. Fodder which is deficient in nutrients be. fore it is put into a silo will experience no regeneration there. Degeneration tato offen• sive material is the only and constant tend. eney. To prevent deterioration and decay is this function of the silo ; and to that end it should be oonstrueted toexolude theatmos- phere. To do so requires the use ggof build - p° th. The fastening of the parts, at the foundation mterial of adequate and at the cornersof the silo, should be noire. I have found one ply of sound 1-inoln lumber, tongued and grooved, and nailed horizontal. ly on the inside of studs 2 inches by 10, or 2 inches by 12 inches, to be sufficient. A clay or earthen floor is most econoni.. nal and is as good as any that can be port in. Prof. Wm. Saunders, Director of the Central Experimental Station, and Prof, Jas. W.

The Connectiout experinnental station has for years; been urging upon the attolitiot of farmers the value ofnilrogouons feedirng stuffs.' The program of exact experin)ont is dinging out 110 desirability of main male. rials metre and more cloarly, Thus the ex. perimouts of the effects of fodder upon the prroduction of milk and meat lately made in the Ui itod States and in Europe cusphaaiz' utost forcibly the need of rations tmsoli richer in protein than 111001 of our fan•nto's feed, Our crops contain a large excess of the motel -1410 which serve us fsol, while the protein compounds, which mice muscle, bonaand milk, aro relatively wanting. Tho farmer le prinarilyreeponeible for this slate of affairs, and must bo the tene•to take Tho first 01010 to amend it. The protein needed for the use of the stock kept on the farm may bo obtained in one of three ways I It may be purchased in the forth of conoentrat- est feeds, :such aa wheat bran, oil meals, oto. ; it may bo obtained by growing the legumes which are ablo to obtain nitrogen directly from the air mei convert 1.1 into protein ; or it may be obtained by breeding and importing varieties of grains and grasses richer in nitrogen than those cultivated. While is probable that the feeder must, for the present, continue to bay some of the .protein which his animals need, still by care in selection of crops and by growing plants richer in nitrogen; much more pro, tein may be produced on the farm itself. This protein is needed for fodder in order to make loaner meat, and more of it, and more milk at less cost. The nitrogen not transformed into moat or mills makes rich manure for grasses, grains and outer crops and the richer manure holps to bring larger crops and crops richer in protein. The reports of about 0D soil test expert. manta with fertilizers oondnoted in Now England states during the past fifteen yearn have been summarized In two groups : (1) soils ranging from sandy to loam, and (2) soils ranging from heavy loam to heavy May. Tho teachings of the experiments thus far made in Conneotiont lead to tine following inferenqces for soil in this state generally, though of course there may be e :options : Nitrogen,—This is more apt to be bene- tidal eneficial on the lieht than on heavy soils. Soluble fertilizers, as nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia can generally be used with profit on light loan soils, but do not prove of moll yahoo for corn on heavy soils. For heavy soils nitrogen should be supplied in some organic] form, as stable manure, dried blood, etc. Phosphorio acid and potash.—Heavy clayey soils need to be supplied with largo amounts of phosphoric acid in the fertilizers used, while light, sandy to loans soils are more generally, though not nufforml y, help. ed by potash fertilizers. The wide differences found in soils afford a strong argument in favor of home mixed fertilizers. Tho special needs of diftiarent soils cannot be considered by the manufac- turer who prepares his fertilizers for general use. The farmer may, however, prepare soli mixtures as will meet both the dolt. oienoies of his soil and the requirements of his crops. Ayrahirea for the Dairy. An authority says: "To get the correct Don0eption of the position of the Ayreshire rt would be necessary to consider something of the composition of milk and what hap- pens to it in cheese malting. The solid constituents of milk are fat, casein, albu. men, milk sugar, ash. In butter making we use only the single ingredient, the fat. In cheese making, rennet is added, which coagulates the casein, entangling the fat therein, and carrying both casein and fat into the cheese, the albumen, the milk sugar and the ash going off in the whey. A certain amount of casein inn, when coagu- lated, hold quite a large -amount of fat, so that it is possible to make cheese from both rich and poor milk, and not have the fat go off in the whey ; but the doh milk does not contain so large an amount of casein for each pound of fat as is contained to the thinner milk, so that the richt milk does not make so many pounds of cheese for each pound of fat present as is made from the poorer milk. The cheese made from the riolt milk will be a richer cheese than that from a poorer milk, and as the market will pay a higher price per pound for this rich cheese than ib will for ordinary cheese, it would follow that cheese could be made profitably from the richest of milk, but at the present time the market will pay a or. thin price for good average cheese, and it will be but a very little amount more for the richest of cheese. It follows, then, that very rich milk is worth more to make into butter 'than to be used for cheese•making purposes. The Ayrshire milk is peculiarly adapted to oheese-makingpurposes, bootsuse the proportion of fat and onto is just about right for making a good cheese which will command a full market price, and yet have no fat wasted in making the oheese over. .rich, --- Green Manuring. The Farmer's Guide says there seems to be no occupation in life wherein men are so generally averse to the paying out tnoney (or its equivalent) for benefits to bo reoeiv- ed a little later on, as in fanning, and es- pecially in relation to feeding the land in. order that it may produce more abundantly. Take green manuring, for instanoe. If a man sows a orop for this purpose, half the time he changes his mind when it is grown and harvests and sells it, and this notwith- standing the foot that unless stook feeding enters largely into the system of operations green manure must be his main dependence for oontintted or increasing proepority. Wo do not begin to make use of this means for supplying fortility as we would if wo could bring ourselves to pursue a more open hood- ed policy with our hands. We might of- ten pub iu a catch Drop of oats, rye or clover where land la now left baro for months, and by turning them under put solid capital in our bank that whll pay good dividends in future years, The general 101010r is al- ways on the oafs side in green manuring though he may be a stock•keeper also, for if he grows and harvests crops with the purpose of feeding them out and retnrnhng the monure to the laud, the chances are that his appliances for saving the product are so inadequate that 001 half of it gets where it is needed, In turning under a green crop there is no opportunity for the escape of the valuable elements. The crop decomposes completely in the ground which it is intended to enrich, and estore then and. there upon its Work, A Outing Recruit.

They again proved that they were as good citizens as soldiers, and many of the oldest faniliea in Canada are proud to claim de- scent from the "Old EigbtyIrourth." It may be interesting to note that the highlanders uniform consisted of their na- tional costume with sporrans of racoon skin. They all carried swords, and the of. nem in addition were armed with formid- able dirks. They were known for their bravery ail ca or the country. Even the Indians had wonderful stories to tell of their prowess, while often the despatches to. the Home Government told how frequently the Highlanders woro engaged in battle, and how almost invariably "they drove all before them" with both regularity and de. epatoh. without referring to other sources, whether the troops belonged to the Blaok Watch, to Montgomery's brigade, or to the old Argyle 1 ighlandera raised by Johu Camp• bell of 13arbreok. In Banoroft'o " History of the united Status" we read, in the account of the siege of Quebec), 1775, that, to aid in the defence of the stronghold, "Colonel Alanfrlaelean arrived on the 12111 of November with 170 men, levied chiefly among diabnded High- landers who had settled in Canada." There is nothing here to guide us as to what par- ticular squad of Highlanders is referred to, and we have to go to other sources to find that these troops belonged to a regularly organized eonmand, that the men had all served in disbanded regiments, that some of them had settled in Carolina, that the number who reinforced the Quebec garrison was nearly 330, and that the date of entry was the 131,11 November. The Highlanders referred to were the first battalion of the old 84th Regiment—the Royal Highland Emigrants. As this Dont. mood was never in Great 13ritain, as its term of service was passed in America, and almost entirely in Canada, and as its his. tory ie but little known, it may not be amiss to de- one this article to describing in out- line its career. It was a long time the policy of the Brit• ish Government to give a grant of land to such discharged mon in the Highland regi- ments, serving in this country, as agreed to settle down in Ole localities selected, and, as the saying now is, "help to build them up." The Highlanders made es good colon. fats as soldiers, and were just the very mel who could best toil regardless of MVO 30 AND DISCWi1ORT until the land which was given them was cleared of its weed and stone, and brush and tree, and was ready to yield a generous harvest. Some of these veterans, afterpeaoe was declared in 1703, settled in the north- ern part ot the state of New Fork, others went as far soul( as North Carolina, and there were settlements of them in various parte of Canada, notably in Nova Scotia. Individual settlers were found all the way. between Canada and Virginia, and they ap•' pear to have been everywhere regarded with much consideration, and to have enjoy ed the friendship and good -will of their neighbors. VWThon the revolutionary trouble began Britain soot saw that she was likely to need again the services of these cast• off soldiers, and made many efforts to bring them to- gether into compact organizations, It wae. almost invariably found that the highlanders were as willing as ever to fight for the old flag, The " Royal Highland Emigrants," as one of the new organizations was called, was composed of these veterans, and they certainly male that name (or their later numerical designation, the 14th)as (mouses even Fraser's Highlanders, If we take time and opportunity in to account. The regiment oolnprised two battalions, one of which was raised solely in Nova Scotia and the other mainly in the States. This battalion from the Slates—the first —was brought together by Alan 'Maclean, son of Maclean of Torloisa, and ono of the bravest soldiers who ever left Moll. In April, 1775, lie went Secretly into Carolina, and formed a company bhore, and, leaving them to make their way north to the ap- pointed rendezt'otis he hurried to other sec- tions to arouse the old soldiers. That company hast rather a rough caper - fano, The country was act that time in a condition of open hostility, and the epee. tooth of a band of trained soldiers marching to the support of a flag that had been re- Dodlated was not likely to be viewed with oomplaceucy by the revolutionary sym- pathizers. Under the command of (;apt. Alex. Maeleud, formerly an odlcor in Fraser's Highlanders (the old 750), they made their way northward.

There cannot bo any doubt'that aftor man had become a denizen of the earth, a great physical change canoe over the north- ern hemisphere. The climate which had previously been so mild that evergreen trees flourished within ten or twelve do. grees of the North Pole, now became so severe that vast sheets of snow and ice covered. the North of Europe and crept southward beyond the south coast of Ire. land, almost as far as the southern shores of England, and across the Baltio into Fraoo and Germany. This Arctic trans. formation was not an episode that lasted merely a few seasons, and left the land to resume thereafter its ancient aspoot. With various successive fluctuations it must have endured for many thousands of years. When it began to disappear it probably faded atway as slowly and imperceptibly as it had advanced, and when it finally van- ished 11 left Europe and North America profoundly changed in the character alike of their scenery and of their inhabitants. The rugged rooky contours of earlier times were ground smooth and polished by the march of the ice across them, while the lower grounds wore buried under wide and thick sheets of Olay, gravel, and sand, left behind by the melting ice. The varied and abundant flora which had spread so far within the Arctic circle was driven away into more southern and less ungenial climes, But most rnemorahle of all was the extirpation of the prominent large animals which, before the advent of the ice, had roared over Europe. The lions, hyluuas, wild horses, hippopotami, and other creatures either became entirely ex- tinct or were driven into the Mediterranean basin and into Africa. In their plane came northern 'forms—the rein -deer, glutton; must: ox, woolly rhinoceros, and mem. moth. Such a marvellous transformation in cli- mate, iu scenery, in vegetation and in in- habitants, within what was after all but a brief portion of geological time though it may have involved no sudden or violent 'convulsion, is surely entitled to rank as a catastrophe in•the history of the globe. It was probably brought about mainly, if not entirely, by the operation of forces external to the earth. No similar calamity having befallen the continents within the time dur- ing which man has been recording his ex- perience, the Ice Age Wright be cited as a contradiction to tine doctrine of uniformity, and yet it manifestly arrived as part of the established order of Nature. Whether or not we grant that other ice ages preceded the last great nue, we must admit that the conditions under which it arose, so far as we know them, might conceivably have oc- curred before, and tray occur again. The various agonoles called into play by the ex. tensive refrigeration of the northern hemis• phone wore not different from triose with which we are familiar. Snow fell and gleo- iero crept as they rio to•day. Ice scored and polished rocks exactly as it still does among the Alpe and in Norway, There was nothing abnormal in the phenomena save the scale on which they were mandest- ed. And thus, taking a broad view of the whole subj cob, we reeogn ire the oatastropbo, while at the saute time we see in its progress the operation of those sane natural pro. ceases which wo know to be integral parts of the machinery whereby the snrfaeo of the earth is oontrnnally transformed.—[Sfr A; Gei)cie.

This medicine has completely solved the problem of the euro of indi- gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the grc'ntest valise in the cure of all forms of Piling health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, awl by its great curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the livor and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength- ener of the life f''n•ces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a Itrokeu-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nerv- ousness of females of all ages. Ladies who aro approaching the critical period known as change in life, shoubl not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger.

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 is an insufficient 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 labor imposes upon tho 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.
