While potatoes and tur nips contains much nitrogen, a nitro genous manure is scarcely required for their growth if the soil is in twentysevexrth year, And oehehfel^j "con^on. The" fact that almost all her young fn ends united to men whom she had d ne time Or other discarded; - Ham et began to be set down f<s an old !i uaid.

Such was the statel of thinps when her uncle, a wealthy mer chant, came on a visit rents. He was a joy straight-forward man, to attack all difficulties cooly. "You see," said her hhmone day, afngle.

Jt is a misfortune, bat let the girl go aton * with me, and before the end of tl ree months I will return her to you as the wife of- man as young and wealth/ as herself."

" But-ancle green crops are so far independent of nitrogenoua matter in the soil is -no doubt due to. their having broad leaves to take the, ammonia from the air, and keep spreading roots to gather what they require through a greater mass of soil. The same remark applies to the leguminous crops beans, peas, vetches, dover, etc During the growth of clover, for instance, nitrogen evei accu mulates in the soil. So although leguminous crops contain" much nitrogen, nitrogenous light manures are found in practice, not to be re quired. On the other hand, an application of phosphoric acid, sul phuric acid and lime, which can cheaply be applied as a mineral superphosphate, generally produces a moat marked effect. - - SYSTEM - i Works^Tondera beyond ill Anticipations. i All Goods Reduced from on Credit Prices.
