Hints far Work.

-—-

The American Agriculturist for August says: Cosidering the <iffer- ence in. the seasons, it is obvious that these hints cannot be used by all read- ors alike. They must necessarily be general in character, and when it 1s not expressly stated that the remarks apply to a certain seetion, discretion must be used as to the time and man- ner of acting upon the hints given. For example, in regard to sowing, planting, harvesting, and such other work. it is evident that no one rule ean apply everywhere ; but it is easy for each reader to adapt the sugges- tion to his own locality.

PrePARATION ror WHEatr.—.A\ clover sod may be treated to a dressing of well-rotted manure, and plowed late this month. Perhaps there can be no hatter method for wheat than this.

Wuear arrer Oats is a faulty prac- tice, The soil is tilled with weeds— of which the sprouting oats are the worst—and the rag-weed, and many others, work mischief. An important and needed improvement in agricul- ture is.

A Cuancr or Rorarion.—With the present rapidly ehanging demands upon farmers for a great variety of food pro- ducts, we needa changed system of agri- culture. The production of meat will have to be the chief aim of a large number. There is a widening demand for milk and cheese, and for the best evades of mutton sheep. All these are products of the highest system of farm- ing, in which the soil must be enriched and kept clear of weeds, sO us to pro-

can be manufactured on the farm into the most seasonable articles. The old plan of rotation—grass and clover, corn, oats, and wheat—in which the three grain crops following each other are not well adapted to cattle feeding, especially the last two—must be aban- doned if we are to derive any advantage from the new demands and markets so auspiciously opening for us in Europe.

Dartiing Wuear.—Ilt would be an interesting, and, we believe, a profitable experiment to sow at least one acre of wheat in drills, so far apart that the crop could be enltivated. This may be done by tying each two of the drili spouts together, and thus discharging the seed into one furrow ; sowing some- what less seed. Then the rows will be 12, 14 or 16 inches apart; and the space may be cuitivate] by adapting an ordi- nary spreading cultivator, or using a wheat hoe. A vield of 50 to 80 bushels per acre has been obtained in this manner.

Serp-—As much depends on the variety of wheat sown as upon the manner or cultivation. Upon similar soil, and with the same treatment, one variety may yield twice as much as another. Of several new varieties tried by the writer the present season, the Clawson has excelled.

Colts may now get a few oats daily | a3 the grass fails. A shelter should be provided in the pasture where they can tind shade; it should be in an airy part of the field, free from flies.

EARLY Sowina is preferubie, except where there is danger of the Hessian fly ; in which case sowing is deferred until late next month ; but of the two evils—the fly or late sowing—it is questionable which is the worse. Many good farmers believe liberal fertilizing, and the conse- quent vigorous growth, to be the best remedy aguinst the pest. This, however is a matter in which local circumstances must be well considered.

FoppEr.—lFor fall fodder, white tur- nips may be sown this mouth. An oat stubble plowed and fertilized, may easily produce 600 or 800 bushels per acre, well worth 10 cents a bushel for cows, sheep or pigs, and which will keep until January, in good condition. 300 lbs. per acre of| artificial tarnip manure, or superphos-, phate, will aid greatly.

Piowtna.—-No time should be lost in| plowing the laud intended for crops. Al double benefit will accrue in avoiding the | risk of a drouth-hardene] soi’, and at ae] other time can weeds be so easily killed | as pow. One or two working witha cul-| tivator, or harrowing before weeds go to} seed, will effect a good fall-fallowing and add fertility to the soil, |

ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS.—Experience | gained the past season goes to show that liberal manuring is the most economics] We can s2e iu the past harvest where five dollars’ worth more fertillzer per acre, would have given twice that value of grain. There can be no doubt that arti- ficial manuricg, must become a part of settled practice in the future, and making u few careful experimeuts will give valn able experiences as to the use of these fertilizers.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when tho heal- ing of so many different diseases has deen caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. Mertvin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you haye tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly belieye your own convictions of its wonderfal effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its Safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a ee coe of its merits, and one plaster will s¢li hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVrIN’s CAPst- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on reeeipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
