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. I.

The principal source of' potash now
is the German potash imported from
the mines in Gerlany. 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. The sulphate of potash coin

thus supplying four mineral elements
-chlorine, soda allmt magnesia in ad

presence of chloride of sodium it is not
a good plan to apply kainit in the drill

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

red kind, and somte of them Stai

'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. 'The reservations
there are occupied by bands of ('reeks
nder Chief's Wceinistice, Seahwosis,
b'owhey and Purokehkew. They nunt
