FARM AND DAIRY.
.NOTES. , It was a far-seeing man who wrote W ago:—"Some (lay tliou shalt know by experience how sad a path it is to be dependent on others." jt is on rich soils that artificial fertilisers, judiciously used in conjunction and supplementing farmyard manures, produce, the most profitable results. Official figures state that there are in the United States 21,202,000 milch cows, ■ii, Obi ,000. beef cattle, 4n.!15G,000 sheep 04,1i15,000 pigs and 21,105,000 horses. ' Those farmers not already possessing power would do well to now instal a suitable oil-engine. These work cheapv, and save both time and hand and horse labor. Do not forget that crops of peas, beans, onions, carrots, and many others are greatly benefited by light 'dressing of soot, fowl manure, or nitrate of soda during showery weather. A good preparation of the soil is one of the most important elements of success in the introduction of crops. The finer the condition of the soil, the better is the crop able to extract its nourishment.
