For ages the winds swept over the plains, and the wators sought the ocean through the rivers without turning a mill, len as lato as 18(8, Professor hioblg astouishod the world, and ononod the vay for a now sys tem of agriculture when he announced, that la manure nn aero of land with 40 pounds of bonoJust, prepared to be intirnatoly mixed with the soil, by pouring oor them half their weight ot sulphuric acid, diluted with tbruoni lour pints of water, would bo suill oieut to supply threo or four crops oi wheat, olovor, potiitoe", turnips, etc., with tbo neces sary phosphates.

The Wheat Market- Wo are pleased to annonnco a further ad vance In wheat to 75c6ntspor bushel in Salem and 1.55 por cental in Portland. Wo pro dicted that whoat would reach this figure in October, but it did not coino until early in Novombor. Last month tho prospect did not seem favorable for a opecdy advance, andsinco thou thepromUool tbo sottlcment of tho existing war in Kuropo and tho estab lishment of pcaco thero on a psrmauont basis, was Beoming cause for depression in tho wheat trade, ae tho little improvement mado of lato, soonicd to have eumo from a speculative movement that grow out of tho war prospect. At tho present time, coinci dent with a better peace prospect, we' see broadstufU In good demand and a steady cd vanco in price. The present aspect of tho gram trodo is vory satisfactory, betokons a stcidy demand at improving rates, and is evidently founded upon a settled conviction, upon Change, that thero is a large deficit in tho European pro duction of breadbtuffe. This deficiency will be more apparent as tbo season advances, if it really exists, and will bo apt to insure steady advance in price. It is true that whoat now bears as high a figure as we an ticipated for tho current year, but tho crops all seem to turn out less than they promised boforo tke harvest, so that tho supposed great surplus has dwindled down to a deficit. Ono fact must be apparent to all farmers: That thoy should strain evory nervo to put in larger crops and raise till tho prraln tney can for next harvest. Tho prospoct was never better that tho coming ufason will bo a profitable one for fanners and prices rule high. Tho present advance does not seem to bo caused by speculation, for there seems to Lo no speculative movement to cnuso a rise. London, Nov. 0 The Jm - Lane Express, iu its weekly review ot tho British torn trade, says : Cold but seasouablo weather of tbo past vveok has been fav orublo for field la bor. A largo quantity ot wheat was sown under batislactory conditions. Tho potato disease has not assumed alarming propor tions, though certain localities have suffered already. Irish od vices aro les gloomy. At the principal provincial markets holders of vviieat seriously resisted any decline, in London n slight concession was necessary: foreign wheat was not so firm, and part of the advance produced by political miiuences has been lost. The imports last week woro unusually light, and although stocks nro still large, tho rate of imporbnico is far less than estimated for the requirements of tho country, and considerable diminution re ported from Llverroolattoslstlutt the Inro ids mado into tbo stock ot maize maintains about the same. Other lcedlng stalls are slightly cheaper. It is not unlikely that this decline will shortly be more than covered, in couequonco of the increased winter con sumption.
