I bellevp that what you call com plete artificial manures are a mistake, or, in other words, crops entirely grown by ingredients furnished In chemical manures, are grown at too great a cost. You grow generally 14 bushels of wheat. There is no difi culty in doubling this yield by means of the application of a certain amount of potash, phosphate and ainmonia; but at the ordinary price of these in gredients the wheat would cost more than it would sell for. An artificial manure can be used with profit only when it furnishes to the soil a certain part of the food of the plant, the soil supplying the residue. If you look at the result of nor experiments you will find that we have grown for forty years in succession thirty to forty bun,hels of wheat, and forty to fifty bushels of barley per acre by means of artificial manures, one of the most essential in gredients in them being ammnlonia and nitrate, and yet I do not think that I ever advocated the use of these costly substances in the States. I am con stantly asked by your farmers how to grow more produce, and I generally say if ,you have a demand for animal producfs, feed your stock with cotton meal or cotton cake; if you have no demand for meat grow clover, or, if in the South, cow peas: plow the crops into the land. You will get more am monia by such a process than you can purchase for $20. A little plaster, kainit or superphosphate has a won derful power of increasing the growth of these crops; upon some of lily land which has received no manure contain iug ammonia or nitrate for thirty-six years, I grew a crop of vetehes, or t ares which contained over 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre. I used potash and phosphate. These 100 pounds of itrogen represent 120 pounds of am mo;lia. We can grow crops, so fa' as thy are grown, by means of artificial manures cheaper than you can, and u% e can, of course, obtain rather a better price for our grain. Low prices are not neressarily to be met by increased production. A few yoars ago I read a paper on this subject before a farm ers' club, and was much fotil fanit with by those who were urging that the best way to farm against, low prices was to double your crops.-Sir .1.

There are dif'erent grades of these salts, ranging from the inferior article, Kaint, thmt containlS about twelve per cent, potash up to the better grade of lmur11-iate of potash, that contains from fifty to sixty I.er cent.

So I 1,0w ad( drcss you about the Mangel -Wi' rze )beets. Upon looking ini the dictionary t see if it was spelled mani-gel or mani gold, I found the melaninlg to be ''scair city-toot," amnd it is well named. My experIence with it is very limited, hav lng made my first planting last Feb ruary, sImply as ain experiment. lBut I hasveo 0heiCStanlcy in recommndhing It to those In searchi of chleap hog and cattle food, as being by long odds tIle best single crop wve canl plant. I mean51 an acre of r-ich land planhtedl In Mangels will produce more hog and cattle food than any other plant with which [ am acqaanfted. Both oat with avidity the entire plant, leaves as well as root'; and an analysis shows Mangols to to twice as n.utritiouA as turnips and equal to sweet potatoes, wlile their yield is simply enormous. Single roots sown in Febrrarv, on by no means rich land, wefghed twelve pounds by the first of June. Planted in two feet drills, thinned to one and a half feet in the row, and kept well plowed and hoed, they are as sure a crop as grows; come on ready to feed to hogs and milk cows in May and June, or can be left in ground until wanted. They become somewhat pithy in summer and fill, but stock cat then with relish even then. I have some of my February planting that have stood the long drouth, and I will leave them to see how they stand the winter freezes. I planted some more in June; they came utp well, and were growing finely until dry weather stopped them. Any ordinary summer and fall they would have made a good crop, but it has been too dry. I sowed again in Au gust and September too, but failed, trom1 dry weather, to get them up. The seed do not germinate readily, whenl sown in warn weather, and I think the spring the best and safest time to sow them. If, however, the) can be gotten up in .July or Augusi and we have our usual rains, I thinl; they would make as lat-ge roots a: Swede turnips, or larger; and as thel are twice as nutritious they are cer iiinly worth planting then. This las planting would he splendid to keel until atter Christmas to teed to hog and cattle. At the North they are sown in Ma and June and dug ,in the fall ; put. ii cellars or bankedt to use after the till mips atre gone. 1y sowig tlie glohe shaiped variety, (I planted the long red kind, and somte of them Stai twenty inches above Ohn groinl) am< hilling earth up around them witl turln-p>low, I thintk lhey woulld stamc our winters without removal.

'rho rebellion is headed by Louis iel, the notorious half-breed, but with more French than JIdian blood in his veins. Fifteen years ago iel organ ized a rebellion to reAist the Canadian Governnent, wlich had purchased tile territorial rights of (1he ludson Bay Coinpanly, an( created the Province of Manitoba. 'I'le couiatry is not at all thickly popttlated, and ticl has manyy followers. It is, also, apprehende that the Amercan Indians will join I Itiel's rebellion and thus givo the I Canadian Governent much trouble and expense to quell the rebellion. Riel and his followers are all well arined, and are alixious to light. Can1 ada will, therefore, tind it a consider.. able task to put down the rebellion, especially it the Auneriealn Iildians join the rebels. At last accounts the Indians had killed eight Inen at Frog Lake, and Battlefrti wras surrouiuded by a thou sand savages, but no attack has been made ol the barracks. Fro' Lake is about one hundre( and twenty miles northwest of Battletf'rd n(d thirty from Fort Pitt.
