We Lave lately given quite a number ol articles upon the gradual exhaustation of our American soils, and we have urged the general and liberal use of concentrated and domestic fertilizers upon farmers in every section of our country. A good many people in tho United States know that we make a Raw Bone Super-Phosphate, and our regular readers also know that we have tolerably valid reasons for thinking it a good fertilizer. But we have been far from thinking or stating that ours was the only fertilizer whose use would largely remunerate the farmer. We have not sought to depreciate any manure which the market or farm economy affords, by urging the use of our own preparation. On the contrary, every meritorious help of this sort— and there are many in the eastern markets— has been commended, and its liberal use as forcibly commended as was possible with u*. The axe we have to grind ia to advocate heavy and judicious muuuring by our whole farming population aa a sure means of increasing the average yieM~per acre, and the consequent prosperity of the people; and in our chosen field of enterprise we ahall, with other established manufacturers, reap the due share of recompense from the common good.

PERFECT SECUR'TY "Thecauso of the diminution of the material wealth of the country, lies in tho fact that w« arc annually sending away from the land, with each successive harvest, those things on which the soil is dependent for its fertility. Wo all know that wheat is an exhaustive crop ; that it robs the soil of its rich phosphates and several other salts that are essential to to the growth of tho plant which, more than any other, supplies the food for men. Let us see what becomes of these essential elements of wheat growth. They arc very largely found in the covering of the berry. This, we all know, in the great majoiity of cases, is soparated from the whiter portions of the flour at mills situated at a distance from where the grain is produced.
