John Johnston, of Geneva, N. Y. (now eighty-seven years old), is acknowledged to be the most suc cessful, common sense, practical farmer in the United States. We notice that the Elmira (N. Y.] Husbandman has an account of a late visit to this venerable farmer. The farm, on which he has lived since 1821, was purchased soon after reaching this country from Scotland, and the land at the time was not thought to be valuable, as the crops that grew on it were light. "But it was fortunate for me," said Mr. Johnston, "that I had learned in the old country the value of manure, and how to apply it. It was fortunate also that I understood the advantage of drain. ing, for I soon found that was the first great want of my farm. I sent to Scotland for samples of tiles nd had them made here. My improvements, through draining, soon attracted great attention. ] drained my farm as rapidly as I could meet the expense, and ap plied all the manure I could make. I grew splendid crops of wheat and corn. Corn I found was a very profitable crop. The stalks made excellent feed for animals. My wife always thought she could make better butter from cows fed on stalks than from those kept or hay. I wintered a good deal os stock, feeding up my stalks, hay and grain, and working my large product of straw into manure. The best crop of wheat I ever raised was forty-two and a half busheli per acre on sixty-four acres ; but I have several times raised an aver age of forty bushels. I aimed tc have my land kept clean and rich, and always to use pure seed. My rule is to apply manure several months before it is plowed under. I pile my manure in the spring, and in the fall I spread it on suel land as I intend to plow for corn the following spring. One great objecl I have in piling my manure, is tc to destroy all weed seeds. If the manure is handled enough, all seeds will be destroyed. I have raised 187 bushels of ears of corn to the acre, (equal to ninety-three and a half bushels shelled corn). This was a little more than an average, although I have had large crops all the time. I plant my corn in drills three feet four inches apart, getting as near as possible five kernels to a foot. I have not planted in hill for thirty years. A good hand will plant seven acres a day with a drill, and the yield of corn will be larger and the stalks vastly better. The last time the corn is plowed, a skillful workman will turn a furrow~ so closely upon the row, as to per fcctly cover up and smother any weeds which may appear." REMARKS--It must be remember ed that the kind of corn grown in New York State is the small kind, and hence the rows of corn can be placed nearer together than it would be proper to place them where the larger varieties of corn are raised. GARDEN Sot.-It will always pay to make it deep, even if done with a spade; but remember tc keep all the surface soil at the top, and not bury it at the bottom as I have seen done by some gar deners. If the expense of trench ing or deepening the soil of the whole garden this year be toc much for the purse, then select one portion for this season 's im provement and another for nexj year. Clay soils are especially benefited by trenching, and whilt THE VALUE OF HEN MAN URE. If all the droppings from the roosts by hens be carefully saved in bar rels, and every spring and fall this manure be composted with any good soil or mack from swamps, and so kept a few months, its value for any crop is equal to Peruvian guatno, and it may, I think, be estimated at fifty cents per fowl per annum. From fifty hens I saved about ten barrels of the pure hen guano during the year. What I save from Novem ber to April I compost in the spring with soil. First I spread in a circle soil to the depth of three or four inches. Then I spread hen manure about an inch deep ; then I spread another layer of soil, and then a layer of manure, till the heap is completed, using about four times the bulk of soil that I do of manure, the last layer being soil. The top of this com post heap I make flat, to catch the rains; then I cover it with any refuse hay or straw, then place some sticks of wood or boards against the covering to keep it in its place, and in two or three months it is ready to use, having become thoroughly incorporated with the soil; but, as the season for plant ing is then past mostly, I leave the heap till the next spring, when when I use it with what I com post in November. Perhaps it would be better to make a com post in March, where the climate will admit, and use the manure for crops planted the last of May or early in June; but I can dis cover no loss by keeping it till the next season. A gill of this com post in a hill of corn will be equal in effect to a half-shovelful of sta ble dung. SIGNS OF A PRoSPERoUs FAR MER.-When you see his barn lar ger t an his house, it shows that he will have large profits and small afflictions. When you see him driving his work instead of his work driving him, it shows that he will never be driven from good resolutions, and that he will certainly work his way to prosperity. When you always see in his wood-house a sufficiency for three months or more, it shows that he will be a more than ninety days' wonder in farming operations, and thbat he is not sleeping in his house after a drunken frolic. When he has a house separate from the main building, purposely for ashes, and an iron or tin ves sels to transport them, it shows that he never built his dwelling to be a funeral pile for his family, and perhaps himself. When his sled is housed in sum mer, and his farming implements covered both winter and summer, it plainly shows that he will have a good house over his head in'the summer of early life and the win ter of old age. When his cattle are properly shielded and fed in winter, it evi dences that he is acting according to the Scripture, which says that "a merciful man is merciful to his beast." A MODEL TRUCK FARMER. There is a farmer who supplies the people of a certain quarter of the city with butter, eggs, apples, potatoes, etc. He comes to the city twice a week, driving sixteen miles each way. He realizes from the sale of his produce, fiom $20 to $40 a week, every week the year around. His large crops maintain the farm and his income from his vegetable and butter wagon is his profit. He brings queer loads to town sometimes; but he never fails to bring some thing to sell. He says that it really appears that there is no thing on the farm that the city won't buy ; and so he makes a conglomerate load ; the contents ranging from turnip tops to honey, from cow peas to apples.

Butter a griddle, turn on the batter till it spreads as large as a dinner plate ; when thoroughly set, lay on some nice preserves or fine nice fruit sliced ; roll up with a pancake slice, and serve from a flat dish, very hot, and sprinkled with sugar.

Mar. 14, 1877-11-1y. BEER. The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for the year 1875, speaks as follows: "Therc can be no doubt of the generali adulteration of all malt liquors. In England and other countries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and punish such frauds, by a system of inspection of all malt liquors manufactured before exposed to sale, the practice is very common. How much more in this country, where there are no laws on the subject, and no officer to carefully ana lyze the products of the brewery ? Some years ago, Professor Mapes, of New York, analyzed the beer from a dozen different brewries, and all were found adulterated with noxious substances. It is said that the sale of drugs to brewers is a profitable part of the trade. This is perfectly infamous. Cocculus indicus, (fish-berry,) nux vomica, (dog-button, from which strychnine is ob tained,) are some of the delectable substances found in beer! These are potent poisons, and the brewer found using them should be drowned at once in one of his own vats. The British Parliament passed a law to pre vent this nefarious business. The following is an extract: 'No druggist, vender of or dealer in drugs, or chemist, or any other person, shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer in or retailer of beer, knowing them to be such, or shall sell or deliver to any person on account of, or in trust for, any such brewer, dealer or retailer, any liquor called by the name of or sold for coloring, from whatever material the same may be made; or any material or preparation other than unground brown malt, for the darken ing the color of worts beer, or any molasses, vitriol, honey, quassia, coccolus indicus, grains of paradise, Guinea pepper, or opium, or any extract or prepaiation of molasses, or any article or preparation to be used in worts beer for or as a substitute for malt or hops; and if any druggist shall offend in any of these particulars, such preparation, &c., shall be forfeited, and may be seized by any officer of excise, and the person so offending shall for feit five hundred pounds.' "Under this law, very many druggists and brewers were brought to grief, and yet the practice continues. Unless the American public are ready to aidmit the immaculate purity and innocence of American brewers, they must be content, while drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they are at the same time guzzling some narcotic poison or damaging medicine. In view of the unpre cedented growth of the barley crop; of the great increase of the number of malsters and brewers; of the vast unknown quantities of beer that are drunk in every city and almost every town on the continent, it is the dictate of sound wisdom that the attention of legis lators should be called to the subject of the adulteration of our malt liquors, and severe penalties should be inflicted as a preventive." JOHN C. SEEGERS' BEER is pure and reliable. Feb. 28, 9-tf. NOTICE. The copartnership heretofore existing between W. G. MAYES and J. N.
