It has exhauted the millions of acres of tiie older East, and it will ezhaoat the mo«t fertile fielda of the West. A stndy of the cenaua mart convince any Marcher that tf\e prodnc- tiona of all our oropa Is year by year grow- ing lesi and leai. It cannot be attributed to a cbange of Masona for a leriea of yeari, bat eiu be only to one oaote â€" the gradual ex- kaaitionof plant food by oar onthinkirg and unwiae course. Hub subject of hiubandiy the res o rces ot our acres, and of retaming to our starving fiekls those elements of plutt growth qnltia or nearly exhausted, is yearly forcing itrelf â- More prominently npmi the attention of tlie farmers of at least the eastern half of our •onntary, and the line is very rapidly ex- tending westward. Millions of acres that onee produced magnifioenit crops of the various grains, even west of the great lakes, are now lying vacant, or barely paying for the most shiftless cultivation. This qnestiou cannot be seriously considered too soon, even by the fanners on the now rich and prodao- tive prairies west of the great rivers. Every train that passes outward is loaded with a portion of their fertility, much of it in the arude and barely ramuueritive it.te of bran, oil meal, and the coarser grains, and, to the shame of the farmers, even in the bones of titeir a nim a l s, while the retaming trains carry back nothing in the nature of plant food. Though Western farmers may think they have no need of^^sachknowledtte, they should not faU to thoroughly post themselves, uidthoee farmers who do so and who take advantage of this knowledge, will, by and by, be looked npon as the "lucky ones" who have the richest farms in tiie vicinity in which they live. Jtural Â¥ev) Torier. Hotefl. Every animal on the farm should be test- ed â€" whether cattle, sheep, swine, or horses. The ordinary cow should have her merits known to the dairyman, and be ihosla fam- fllariae himself with her qualifications, not only as a milker, but as to the kicd and qnality of food best adapted for ber par- peses, and the most prcfitable. A cow may give only twenty pounds of milk a day, and yet be ancxsellent animal if she can produce titat amount at a low cost, |while acotber cow in the same herdmay yield thirty ponnds per' day, and yet prove unprofitable compar- ed with the other. A fall planted tree has this great advan- tage, that the heavy rains have a tendency to carry the earth in and around the- roots, while ^e low temperature following is un- favorable to any excessive evapcrationa from the branches. The only enemy to be feared is excessively cold and drying winds. In spring planting we not only have the difS- culty of packing the earth well in among the roots, but have the possibility of heat and drought immediately following. Aside from these theoretical reasonings, the ex- perience of tlie last few seasons has been lavOTable to the success of fall planting. As early as it can be done in the fall the better. A. peculiar kind of hard times has como spm the farmers and people of thisooontry. If you inquire what product is so short as to cause distress, the answer will be that it is not scarcity of anything that causes the hard times â€" there is too much wheat, too much oom, too much grain of all kinds, too mmoh hay, too much 'beef, pork, sugar; too much wool, cotton, iron, steel tM moch of everything. We are in distress of too muoh, borne down with the sad ttnrden of superabundance. We are unoert^n what adviee to giveâ€" even money is too plenty, and often can't be loaned at a low interest. We can't think of any better advioe than to dry up our tears, put on a cheerful look, and go to work vigorously with a full appetite, and eat our wav through this abundance, and trast to time for success. We observe that some %riters on vege- table gardening speak of the di£5culty of keeping feculent vegetables, like beets, tur- nips and parsnips, from wilting when plac- ed in cellars, and reoommend packing them in land, or burying them in the earth of the oeUar bottom. This mode is necessarily cumbersome and inconvenient. An easier and mote perfect way is to pack them in damp sawdust, placed in barrels of moderate size, or in boxes of not more tiian two feet in width. Place a layer of sawdust in the bottom, then a layer of the roots, then fill in all the interatioes with another layer, and BO oa till the bozfis full, leaving no crevices. We have taken beets out.of such boxes after remaining in them a foil year, so fresh in appcaranoe that no external difference could be seen between them and fresh roots. Nurserymen's moss is neater than sawdnst iHiere it can be had, and serves an excellent purpose for packing winter cabbage in large boxes. More HmuDe Treatment of Horses. Machinery is doing a vast amount of la- bor for man, but horses are not diipensed with, or the contrary their number is In- creasing in tibia country every year. Not only so, but their quality is improving, both for carriage and heavy work. No creature is so valuable a servant to man. HebfrfteD ill-treated, not so much from intention as from ignorance of what is right. Don't build the manger so high as to make It un- natural, and therefore painful, for the boras to eat from it. Remember a liorse is a gras- ing animal, constructed to take food from the ground. When the head is down near to the surface of the earth, the swidlowiiq; muscles an in a positien to do their weark but when the head is raised four or five feel high the muscles an rsstrietad in their ution.

In so doing yon not only save the most valuable part of the fertilizing of the horse, but yon remove the strain of standing with bii hiod feet lower than the forward ones. When at rest in the pasture the horse chooses to stand wKh his forward feet low«r titan Us httad feet; this he does to throw the centre of fravity nearer the fore legs andsboulden, y which the projecting neck b balanced by the reitf portion of the body. The horsis wanto clean food and drink. Nothing is dean where a hen goes. Hens should be kept awag from horses, not only from foul- ing their food, bat from commnaieating lice.
