Manuring hy ploughing down growing crops, though among vhe oldest methods ol fertilizing the soil, continues to be among the most prominent topics in agricultural discussions, the diiVereneo of opinion as to its value evidently, as so many of our difler(III 11'? 11 <" " < V?v |U till v III lllllMIilMl'S j that an; overlooked hy those who take | 11:\rt in ilio discussion. On tin; one hand, it. is declared that, the ploughing down of a green ciop is of no more good than the use of so much "acidulated water;" while we see slatcnenis Irom the olher side, showing that the very host results have (lowed Irom the practice. So far as we can judge, green manure is not successful in light, sandy soils. In the. South, the cow-pea is used lor the purpose, sown in t ai!y sit in m or and ploughed down in the fall. In the Middle Slates, clover is used, and fait her North, rye. We have recently seen some statements that it has paid handsomely in the New Knghuid States, to plough down in the spring :i crop <>i rye, though there was certainty that it would in a few weeks return * ">() per acre, in order that a oron of corn or i rutabagas might follow. This is no more opinion. The party who practices this has been doing il for years, and finds so much profit from il that he continues the practice. Of course, it goes hard at times to sacrifice a whole crop for a season wholly to fertilizing seeds, and it, is this which keeps so many from practicing it; hut, if only good figures are kept, it will often he loutid that the cost, of manuring an acre by more popular methods very often exceeds the product of many ol the most paying crops. It seems to us that much more light might be thrown on this method of manuring than has so far been afforded us. There arc many plants which might be tried, that would do better than anything so far named. In Kuropo, lupins arc very popular, and some effort was made to introduce them here, we believe, sonic years ago. Their advantages arc that they will make a good herbage on soil so poor that nothing else will grow. Then, it would bean advantage to grow things which will make a good stool, so that uiey could be ploughed down in time for certain crops, and not take too long to do it. Uyc may do pretty well for late spring crops, but would not do foV t hose which had to go in early. It would not be grown suilieieiul v for the inirnose. Ii is liln.i v 11...? for this purpose buckwheat would U? an excellent article. Soon after the early summer crops were oil', it would grow enough to ho ploughed down before winter, so as to bo ready for the early spring. Jhit the whole subject will bear a reviewing by practical men. Thus lar, clover is generally preferred lor ploughing down. G'cn/uintown '/'clcyrap/i. A Smai.j.

Ueloro Sctii (ireen, in 18(57, braved the charge of insanity by hatching shad in the CVunieticut river, it was a source of intense regret that the delicious shad had almost disappeared. IVople talked ol the old times when shad were plenty, and mourned for the good old days. A lish would brine; an extravagant price us a luxury, which it was. J Jut, presto, Seth sowed the liver with eggs, and the result is that last year, as the report declared, "accoi din<jr to the com ntissioner's report, there nre more shad in the Connecticut river than there were in 1802, when there were more shad in t lie river thin ever before." ?M r. (irecii thinks that all the lakes and livers might, in lour years, be stocked with while, lish and salmon equal to what tie. v held in former years, lie has been successful in propagating lit teen sjiecies. There are some very strong arguments in favor <>l the cultivation ol lish. They utilize streams and bodies ol water which are otherwise unproductive of wealth, making them as valuhle as the dry land. Again, the lood which is converted l?y lish costs nothing. They cat that which is otherwise useless and a nuisance. Then they require but little or no care; they soak their own living and grow without the labor of man. Finally, their food is the most healthful and agreeable of anything that comes under the head of llesh. There is probably no other way by which an equal return could he had lor the time and money expended as by a system i liu prosecution ol iisli larining, whetlicr it be done 1 ?y privato enterprise or under tin; special care and direction oi the State. .Maine is much indebted to .Mr. Atkins who pioneered the salmon hatching in the State, and to .Messrs, Stil well and Stanley, the present fish commissioners, who are doing everything possible to forward the interest ol tish culture. Maine with her extensive sea coast, and her magnili; n cent rivers and lakes, is more intercH ted in this matter than any State in the Union.?J'.?,. Table Customs.
