'.~T~,rr'' The American Farmer lor March is received with a great variety of articles of the most practical value. No branch ?f culture but has full space accorded it. Ticld Crops. Orchard Products, Small fruits, the Dairy and Divo Stock suited for it, the Poultry Yard, the Vegetable Garde?, Ike Lawn, the Flower Garden mid the Green Hotiec each bare a depart ment wett filled and by the ablest bunds. There fe lbesidcs, much miscellaneous matter in which every incmocr of the family circle will find something inter esting and instructive. The National Platform of the Granges is also given in this number. We risk nothing in recommending the Fnimer to our farmer friends as a reliable ?n?J advanced paper devoted to their in terests. Wc believe not one of them but would be benefitted by its companionship for a year. Published by Samuel Shnds&Sou No 9 North St.; Baltimore Md.; at?1.50 a year or at 81. to clubs of five ov more. Liberal premvwme Sot clubs. Specimen numbers sent free. Fertilizers?Manures. Our opinion has been asked about the best manures and fertilizers. Wc have had a personal experience of but one year in the use of cotton"secl meal, and as a single article, for all purposes, wc give no other a preference among com mercial manure or fertilizer*. We know that cotton seed has shown its effects as a manure for some ten years, and we be lieve the same quantity of cotton seed meal will bring equal results. We have been urging this for the past three years ?this the fourth. Although wc bad cautioned others, and perhaps all wo had talked or writtcu to, yet wc were caught. Last season we had land prepared (ra ther late before wo could be ready), und directed our white employes not to drop cotton'sccd meal on or near enough to potatoes to heat, yet from that and othei causes there was a failure. A friend who procured a parcel though us was cautioned and he lost his first planting, but a second crop* ou same land,.made. Our use of such articles was to drill in manure by a machine sonic five to ten days before planting anything. Then the planting caused a mixing of earth and manure, besides a week lying in the earth and covered had given time for some fermentation at least. Our potato failure gave as three tons by weight of excellent crab-grass bay, and perhaps the acre (about) paid us well; at least it was ft lesson that did not cost much money, for the seed, manure and labor did not cost what the hay sold for. Wc believe that the meal (UK) pounds per acre as nearly 03 we could tell by weight and calculation) has paid for itself, and as much more, besides there is ft largo resi due in the earth for the ensuing crop.. Wc urge upon every grange in our country to test at lesist one acre, say 200 pounds per acre. It would bo better to test accurately 100, 200, 300 pounds per acre, and be able to sny the yield of cash and if th" crop is Knifitcd, say 81 50 per ncrc for 100 pounds, double for 200 pounds, and so on. Cotton-s.cd meal ought not to leave our country; our South needs it all for stock and land. Wo think no man con afford to sell cotton need and buy fertilizers, especially when the former sells ftt $9 per ton and the latter nt.$40 to $100. Again, seed, 33 pounds to the bushel, G6 bushels to the ion, fivo tons at $10, is $50. We sny keep seed dry, crush them and use as the cotton-seed meal. Twenty bushels crush ed wilj bo about as 200 pounds meal, 2,000 pounds seed given 700 pounds or near of meal. Try it, and let us husband our own resources.? [Southern Farmer. Plantino Stha wijkkk ies.?Mr. I. Shells-well, in the Cottage < iardener, hui tried the following method with great success: I did n jt cut any runners off the old beds, but allowed them to ran into a mass. In the autumn [lined strips about nine inches wide nnd two feet apart through its length, and cut them in b pun en of nine inches. These I took up with a spado at three inches deep. In !QP??-1 1,1 1 I? tho bed prepared for them I hod trenches dug two feet apart, and placed tho squares of s?rn wherry roots iu them, at a distance of eighteen inches from each othe. Tho roots "were not injured in the least, and. the crop was excellent. I had tho trenches that were made in the old bed fdlcd with ono part of well-rotted manure and two parts-of stiff loam, and the bed was soon covered with plants. Thus, by degrees, you can renew the old bed as well as from new ones. Certainly with the old planting single roots, wo ob tained finer specimens of fruit, but, unless fruit for show is required, I advise every one to try the above plan for quantity, and they will not be disappointed. Tallow as a Cure for Gapes.?One day I noticed a flock of eleven puro brod Crevcceeur chickens very bad with what is called "gapes." I remarked to the mnn I who had them in charge that he would not have many chickens out of that lot. "Oh, never mind," said he, "I have got a cure for them from a neighboring woman which is a common half-penny tallow candle melted and mixed into about a quart of oat-meal stirabout." The reme dy was resorted to and tho Crcveeeurs have every one recovered und grown iu to finely developed chickens. I have since tried t\m cure with invariable suc cess.?[?/ov. London Field.
