For to grow good wheat in Western New York, as a general rule,plenty of licit manure is indispensable. A largo portion of the laud has bsca so long cropped t? wheat williuut a pui table rotation, frequent seeling to clover, or snfUol-nt manuring, that It ran no longer be relied on to grow wheat, unices well manured, while there Is ' hut little of our best land on which wheat would not be largely benefitted by a top dressing of well rotted rich manure before Sowing. I say rich manure, because land that Is much run down needs something b?<tt. r than Is usually mad* by feeding straw.? Manure Is seldom b*ller than \he material it is made of. If litis is mainly or wholly straw, it will b# of little viilue; but when n>sde by feeding plenty of clover bay and grain or oilcake, it is valuable. J. D.

Still, with wheat at present prices, manure moat soon be nearly aa valuable here as It is ' in England. However this may t>?, it roust now lie appnront to all, that.to make wheat growing snuoessful, we roust ad-.pt some such course as is now practiced in England ?that in, In order to grow mora wheat, we must keep mora stock and make more ma nsre.
