To Editor Charlotte Democrat : Below you will find an important circular published ly order oi the JJoard of Agri culture. Your farmer readers will notice that all the materials, which they use in compost ing, can be purchased under certain condi tions anywhere. Acid Phosphate and Dis eolved JJone must be purchased from some of the forty-five manufacturers who have j xi Id the tax and have the right to sell their Phosphates and Dissolved Hones in North Carolina. Guided by this circular your readers will have no difficulty in procuring goods from parties wbo have the right to sell, and, if cheated in their purchases can obtain the assistance of the Experimental Station to secure redress. Yours sincerelv, Albert It. Leooux. Chapel Hill, Nov. 17, 1879. At a meeting of the North Carolina Board of Agriculture, held October 15th, 1879, it was resolved that the following articles should be admitted free of tax, with such additions as may afterwards be made by the Executive Committee upon consultation with the Chemist : Ground Bone, Bone Ashe, Ground Bone Black, Ground Phosphate ltock, or other mineral phosphate; Nitrogenous Organic matter commercially free from Phosphoric Acid and Potash Nitrate of Soda, titrate of Potash (or Saltpetre), Sulphate of Am monia, Muriate of Ammonia, Kainit, Sul phate of Magnesia, Sulphate of Potash, Sul phate of Soda, Muriate of Potash, Lime, Plaster, Ground Cracklings, Ground Tank age, Salt and Oil of Vitriol. Upon the following articles the License Tax will be exacted: Upon any of the above articles, or others, sold for Fertilizers, or Fertilizing material, under any trade-mark or proprietary brand, Dissolved Bone, Dissolved Bone Black, Dis solved Mineral Phosphate, (Acid or Super phosphates), and upon a mixture of any two or more articles mentioned in the first list when combined either chemically or mechanically. The Executive Committee shall - have power to decide all questions relating to such Chemicals as are not included in this list after consultation with the Chemist. Rolling of Lands. By the use of rollers land can be made compact cheaper than in any other manner, and if our farmers would use this imple ment more on their wheat fields, the result could scarcely lail to be satisfactory. The land may be rolled at the time of sowing the seed, then again in the Spring, the lat ter pressing the roots into the earth and making the soil firm about them, thereby preventing exposure to light and air, fol lowed by injury Irora drying. But the most singular effect of this Spring rolling of wheat has been observed where it had made a very rank growth, giving promise ot over luxuriance, which is quite certain to be followed by lodging or falling down before the grain is ripe. In such instances it has been observed that solidifying the surface checks the growth of the straw, and at the same time greatly increases the yield of the grain. It costs but a trifle to test this theory of solidification, or "root-resis tant" theory, by applying the roller to wheat in the b all and Spring. In all the prairie regions, and where wheat is liable to "heave out and Winter kill, we are cer tain that the farm roller can be used with great benefit. Sheep on Wheat. The value of sheep in connection with wheat-raisiug, is too well established to need argument, but we hear of instances so directly in point, that we cannot do our farmer readers a ort.pr service than tn mention them. Mr John Pugh had a piece i x an wheat, promised largely, and yet, he was advised to put his sheep on it, which he concluded to do. The wheat grew re markably: there was a heavv Rt.raw. and the yield was twenty bushels per acre. It is evident that the sheep would have crop ped down the heavy growth, added richness w me son, and insured less straw and double the amount of whpat at Wst. a much heavier yield. So he thinks, and no doubt correctly. Mr Wm. J. Ilerren tclU us of a case over in I oik county, where two neighbors had fields' of wheat on similar soil and in all ro. spects but one with similar cultivation. " t I- I . . . . "ne iir iveyte last spring put sheep on hn wheat and let them croD it auite closp Some of his neighbors predicted that it was ruined, but he realized sixty bushels to the acre, while his neighbor, who let the first rank growth fully mature, got only half flint tnni jr icut, Mr Dan Clark, near Salem, has a small field that was in ootatoes. and as the rrrnwt.li was rank, last Spring he let hogs and stock . , 1 I run on u until me wheat seemed almost ex terminated. It was his intention to resow it, but as other work claimed his attention, i.ir i . . .... ne ueierrea it until it appeared that there wouiu oe wneat enough come up. The re suit is that it is the best wheat he has. Il is evidently true that eood wheat farm! no cannot be done without sheep, for their umiiy on summer-tallow is. beyond ques tion. Willamette Farmer. Dry Cows. It is a common practice among some dairy- iueu io give ineir cowa while dry, but scanty living. When a cow ceases to crive iuiiK, or is aned up, any leed is considered good enough for her. I think this is a great mistake, and the result is a diminished pro duct of milk both in quantity and quality when she does ""come in. There is a large draft on the system to sustain the calf while the cow is carrying it, and to keep the cow in good Condition good feed is as important as when she is giving milk. It is my opin ion that a dollar's worth of food when the cow is dry is worth one dollar and a halfs worth after she comes in. Exchange. CrlP For quality of milk select proper breeds; for amount, good milkers. Suit the food to the wants of the animal, and feed well bat not over richly. To Make Boys Good Fanners. To oarents who have boys growing upon g i he farm, nothinsr should be neglected per taining to farm life, to mako them good farmers. A half way farmer, like an ill in structed mechanic, or indolent shop-keeper, never does much good. from the nrst, boys on the farm should be induced to take an interest in the farm, in the stock, in the implements, and in all that pertains to tne business. Tell them all your plans, your - tt m w successes and failures ; give thera a history of your life and what you did, and how you lived when a boy ; but do not harp too much on the degenerate character of yonng men of the present aere. Praise them when you can, and encourage them to do better. Let them dress up in - the evening instead of sitting down in their dirty clothes as is too often the case. Provide warm and nicely furnished sitting rooms, and brilliant lights. Thanks to kerosene, our country homes can be as brilliantly lighted as the eras lit residences in the city. Encourage the neighbors to drop in frequently of even- r - 1 rr11. : 1 . lugs ior a social cuai. mix. agncunmo rather than politics ; speak of the impor tance of larere crons. of i?ood stock, of lib- n---rJ- j., . eral feeding, and of the advantage of mak ing animals comfortable, rather than ot the hard times, low prices and high wages. Above all, encourage the boys to read good agricultural papers and books. Provide these without stint; read with them, and give them the benefit of your experience and criticism. finally, cause them oy pleasant surroundings to grow day by day more in love with home and duties belong ing to their glorious occupation, and there is no doubt but that they will stick to the farm and make farming a great success. Colic in Stock. A correspondent of the Massachusetts Ploughman gives the following cure for colic in horses, which is convenient at all times and easily applied. He says he has never known it to lail : Spread a teacupful or more of fine salt on the back of the ani mal over the kidneys and loins, and keep it saturated with warm water for twenty or thirty minutes or longer if necessary. If the attack is severe, drench with salt. I have a valuable bull, weighing nineteen or twenty hundred, which had a severe attack of colic a year ago last Summer. I applied salt to his back as above, and it being diffi cult to drench, we put a wooden bit into his mouth; keeping it open two inches, and spread salt upon his tongue, which, together with the salt on his back, relieved him at once, and within a very short time equili brium appeared fully restored. I have tor several years past successfully applied this treatment to other animals in my herd. Preparation of the Soil for Treks. For fruit trees, the condition of the soil must be such as would be adapted to grow successfully farm crops. If the land on which you are to plant your trees is not in condition to bear exposures, you can make it so by thorough underdraining, deep plow ing and sub-soiling. You may enrich it in the usual manner, by turning under clover, applying barn-yard manure, or where it can be obtained, vegetable mould or muck with out stint. The last is well adapted for pro ducing a large amount ol fibrous roots, and it is through these that the tree s fed.

Important Notice to the People of North Carolina. $5,000 Due in North Carolina. Among the thousands of letters received monthly from patients in North Carolina, some have neg lected to write their address, others have failed to give their Post Office, so that in closing my books for the year I find $ 5,000 in my hands that has been sent me in such a manner that I can neither pre scribe for them nor send them their money. This is owing to the careless manner in which they ad dress their letters. I am anxious to publish a list of the Post Offices, as far as known, in hopes that the parties who sent them will send me their full address. Most of them were received for my infallible "Uhill ana Ague Uure, others for my "Dysentery and Diarrhoea Remedy," while the greater part, written by ladies, was for my ''Infallible Female Friend," the great wonder of the Century, which has saved thousands of suffering women from the grave, and for which I refused $50,000 from a Sur geon in the Russian army. Either of the above I send for one dollar and a half per bottle by ninil.
