In alate address, Prof. Wiley gave the result of his investigatitm to decide the question, “ how far north may sorghum sugar Industry extend ?” He believes that the success of the sorghum sugar industry will not be found so far north as many of his friends had hoped, and many of its devotees prophesied. It is yet early to_give a. defi. nite answer, but at present he inclines to the opinion that the isothermal lines for Sept, October. and November that pass through Cape May, N. J“ should be considered the northern boundaries of successful sugar cul. ture. ZFrench gardeners says the American Gard- ener are quite whimsical about the manner of gathering their asparagus. They say that the neat asparagus knives advertised in the catalogues are intended for delicate people who are afraid of soiling their fingers ; and the only proper way is to pick the shoots by It was found by careful trielat the garden of the New York Experiment Station, that the old and expensive method of growing celery in deep trenches, and with repeated “earthing up” as the plants grew, was in no way superior to the level culture method, with a. single earthing to blanch the stems after they complete their growth. This is in accord with the common practice of our best gardeners at theprescnt time, but is contrary to the teaching of the older writers on the subject. The sewerage of the Town of Pullman is pumped into an aqueduct froma cesspool in- to which it flows from the houses, and through this aqueduct is conveyed three miles to a. farm of sixty acres. where it is used for fertilizing purposes. Notwithstand- ing the cost of the pumping, irrigating, and draining systems used in the cultivation oi this farm was $80000, the net profit on the land has been $85,000. W. W. Dunham of Grapevine Farm at North Paris, Me., has pretty thoroughly demonstrated his theory of out door winter. ering of bees. Of fifty-three swarms of col- onies that be commenced the winter with, he has only lost two swarms. He has now fifty-one lively swarms to commence the sea- son of 1884. as soon as it ainpears. It isvcontngious, and some varietles are more subject to it; than others. Au Ohio farmer washes his apple trees every spring and fall with strong lye that will float an egg. and finds it to be sure death to the borers.

Vick's Magazine says that the best preven- tives of mildew on roses are good drainage, high manuring, selection of strong varieties, proper pruning, ana dusting with sulphur A gill of strong green tta. is said to. be: specm'c for sheep poisoned by eating laurel. A farmer who has used the remedy many years says he has saved hundreds of sheep by it. A writer in the London Agricultural Gaz- ette, is of the opinion that the polled or how- less cattle are the elder type, and that the horned form is the intrusive modern style.: An important measure for farmers was one connected with the spread of noxious weeds such as thistles, oxeyed daisies, red weed and burdock. The Grangers petition- e1 fora measure to prevent the spread of these weeds, and such a. measure has been passed. Each farmer must cut his weeds, and the pathmasters must prevent them from going to seed on the roads. An inspec- tor can be appointed by the Township Coun- cil when one is needed to see that the pro- visions of the Act are carried ou‘. An Act was also passed to prevent the spread of in- fectious diseases in horses and other dom- estic animals. The foreign market for bread- stufl's is becoming precarious, and Canadian farmers must turn their attention more and more to the raising of stock. If once the people of Europe are told that there are dis- eases among Canadian cattle, a profitable market will be cut ofl". It is much better to teke skps in time to prevent such disaster. At a public meeting, held in Ancaster, \Ventworth Co. , a. few days ago, Mr. Awrey the M. P. P., for the county thus referred to the agricultural legislation during the last session of the Ontario Legislature. r,V , ed with a lid. As Soon as only a few pounds have accumulatul, we take the tLh to some grape vine or fruit tree, dig a llt-lv ihr'e or more feet long. a foot or two wide and not less than a foot deep, into which the bones are dumped, spread over the excavation, and covered with the soil. The more the fragments can be spread the better. But they should be buried so deep that the plow or spade will not touch them. The roots of grown: vines or fruit trees will soon find the valuable mine of rich fertility, and will feed on the elements that will greatly pro- mote the growth of healthy wood, and the developmentoffairand luscious fruit. Many borticulturists and farmers purchase bone dust, costing no less than two cents a pound simply to enrich the soil around and beneath their vines ; fragments of bones are just as valuable as ground bones, although their elements of fertility will not be found avail- able in so short a time as if the large pieces were reduced to small atoms. Nevertheless if large bones be buried three or four feet from a grape vine, the countless number of mouths at the end of the roots will soon dissolve. take up and appropriate every par- ticle. When cast out of the kitchen door, bones are likely to become a nuisance ;where as if properly buried, they become a, source of valuable fertility. Let every person who ownes a grape vine or fruit tree save all the bones that pass through the kitchen, and bury them where such worthless material Will be turned to some profit.â€" ll'estern Farmer. the roots can lay hold allowing pieces of bone backyard, as food for 3 cats, domestics should eyerything of the sort ‘ with AGRICUI Agricultural Legislation.

It is emphatically the age of the newspaper, and both author and preacher are rapidly finding themselves re- duced to the chorce between working for the periodical press and abandoning the field al- together. Ofcourse, there are striking ex- ceptions, but in the main this seems to us to be about the sense and substance of the whole matter. Literary men are as well off as ever. but they must adapt their methods of work to the times in which they live. Public attention is absorbed by the news- paper; and it is to the periodical press that the literary man owes both his salvation and his ruin.

Trees that have grown in the open air, will do better than those from thick woods. In selecting those only should be taken that are perfectly sound ; a dead spot, however mall, will extend until it ruins the tree. Trees with short trunks and large this to s should be chosen, avoiding such as divi e into two nearly equal branches, for they Will bo very likely to split down. Intaking up trees. every root should be secured to the utmost fibre as far as possible, and without splitting or bruising them, and the holes for planting them, should be large enough to receive the roots in their natural position. While out of the ground, the roots should ‘ be protected from the air and kept moist. and in setting them fine rich earth should be packed around all the fibres. Trees should be staked to prevent the wind from starting the roots, and well mulched to keep the ground moist and loose. A vicious prac tice prevails very extensively of cutting oh" the entire top. TI: is the death warrant of the tree. It may put out new branches and do well for a few years, but the wound will seldom heal ; that will ultimately decay down into the centre of the trunk and the limbs will break off or die. This process, in its various stages, may be seen in a large proportion of the tres that have been treated in this way. If a trunk must be out 03, let it be just above a. thrifty limb, whose growth will heal over the wound. If branches must be removed, they should be cut Close to the trunk, great care being tak- on not to injure the bark or wood. the cut made smooth and covered at once with wax or paint so as to exclude the air. Shade trees are usually set to thick, from two to four times too many being put on ;he ground consequently, as soon at they have grown a. little, they interfere with each other, and a struggle for existence commences, in which all suffer and symmetrical 'growth is prevent- ed, Trees should never be allowed to ex- ‘ clude the direct sunlight from a house ; to . do so, is to make it unfit for a dwelling. To ‘ remedy this by pruning, will leave naked trunks covered with unsightly scars, toolarge to heal over, which will ultimately decay and kill the tree. Thinning out is but little better. for the trees that remain will be stragglers standing at irregular distances, with forlorn and badly shaped tops.

In 1657 the magnetic pole was due north, it having been eastward before that year. Then it be‘ gan to move westward until 1816, when the maximum was reached. [his is now bein stea iily diminished, and in 1976 it will again point due north. Prof. Thompson says that the changes which will have been observed not only on the direction, but in the strength oi the earth’s magnetism, will show that the same causes which originally magnetized the earth are still at work.
