By this node of culture Mr. WURDI ports a yield of 20 to 25 bushels witho one drop of rain.

Tbeic ia eertaiuly no risk in it. Castor Oil. * Ono or two of our farmers, to oi knowledge, experimented last Reason w i thc Palma ChriHi. Did they attempt make castor oil ?

TUE F A KM CH'S CREED.-One of oui exchanges gives the following first; rat? advice under the heading of ** The Farm er's Creed :*' . . . " We believe in small firms and tho rough cultivation.
