The ordinary cough or cold, resulting perhaps from a trifiing or unconscious ex- posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal sickness.

stored for a time, au done, its quality will improved and it will be rendered conveniently available for use when required.
The value of farm yard manure can hardly be over-estimated. While artificial manures are useful for special crops, and for the supply of particular elements of fertility, in which a soil may be deficient, it is the pecultar} excellence of farm yard dung that it furnishes all the elements of fertility, and contains all the material of plant food. It is always rich in ammonia, phosphaces and potash, which, as we have
Such being the natural advantages of goed farm yard dung, as compared with any, and every other kind of manure, it is the worst policy imaginable to neglect the means of colleeting it, preparing it, and storing it for use.
Analysis have found out that the differ- ence betweem the value of the solid and liquid exerements of cattle, is but a trifle, the small balance in favor of the solid void- ings. Thefurine of our domesticated animals holds nearly all the nitrogenous compounds, with some phosphoric acid,potash and soda, and all the urine is generally wasted, so that our farm manure is deficient in this most valuable point of plant food, the solid holds the phosphoric acid, lime, and magnesia,
It has been shown dy analysis that a ton of liquid manure contains 17} lbs. of nit- rogen, 10 lbs. of phosphoric acid, and nearly 16 lbs. of potash. Counting each at the market price of fertilizers, it will be found that a ton of urine is worth $5.30, and a ton of solid manure, $2.12. A cow well fed will void four tons of liquid, and ten tons of solid excrement in a year, (14 tons ia ail) which, according to the above figures.would be worth $42.40. The amount is readily believed, when it is estimated that 95 per cent. of the feed consumed passes through in voidings, while only 5
cent. is retained to support the animal economy. |
It has further been estimated that two- thirds of the manure, under the ordinary mode of mangement, is wasted. This stands to rcason, for nearly all urine runs to waste, and it is a low calculation to estimate that one-half of the remaining juices are washed away by the rains of an average season.
The idea of roofing in the manure heap has a look of the ridiculous about it, in the view of many. They are incredulous as to its utility, and cannot see why it is not just as well to leave the manure to be exposed to sun, wind and rain. A little reflection will suftice to remove their impressions, and tofshow the wisdom and economy of she’- tering the manure pile.
The manure from the different cattle stables is thrown out in the open fold yard, and allowed to ferment, freeze, or fire-fang at will, and on a rainy day the life blood of the heap may be seen flowing down a descent to sink into the soil, or find its way into the water courses. During the winter, part of the manure is drawn into the field, and thrown in large heaps to undergo a further process of leaching by spring rains, and then again to move and cart it to the land isa great waste of time, and conse- quently of money.
The manure house need not bea coatly affair. Very little more expense than that of rough boards is necessary. The in- creased value of the manure there housed will more than pay the cost in a single season. Lord Kinaird made some experi- ments with the following results, in regard ‘to the comparative value of covered and uncovered manure: He found that two parts of the same field, dressed with equal quantities, the one manure prepared under cover of a roof and trodden by cattle, the other manure from the open fold yard gave: In 1854. covered manure, 117 tons potatoes; uncovered manure, 7} tons.—In 1855, covered manure, 54 bushels wheat ; uncovered manure, 42 bushels wheat. Not only is the manure heap injured in quality by being wholly unprotected, but it is diminished in quantity to an extent almost beyond belief.
The manure house should be attached to the stables, so that the horse and cow manure could be mixed together, the latter

with hooks; these gates or divisons will be easily removed when carting in material for absorbents, or removing the manure to the land. Four hogs will manufacture enough manure for one acre of land, Ashes is an-
‘other fertilizing agent that is generally
wasted. The greatest objection to this most valuable manure is the danger of sav- ing it for use. The safest and most con- venient place is in a corner of the kitchen cellar. From this-souree one acre of land can be manured annually.
And last, not least, is the henery. It is estimated that the "droppings of fifty hens (judiciously applied) will manure one acre of land annually. <A very convenient way of saving these droppings is to erect a shelf of boards eighteen inches above the floor of the house, and the roosts eight inches over that. The shelves and floor should be covered with chaff to prevent their drop- pings from sticking to the boards. The roosting shelves should be cleaned out every third day,and the floor once a week. Chaff is the best material to keep the hen hoase dry and comfortable for the fowls, and to absorb their droppings with an
occasional sprinkling of lime or ashes. In winte® season their droppings should be saved in some dry place
under cover. Early in summer a mound of rich earth or dry muck should be formed near the henery. Their droppings should be atrewn clong the base of the mound, and a portion of the muck or earth dragged over it, and so on in alternate layers, (during the summer) until the whole is mixed to- gether. In this way, twenty-five loads of compost manure can be made annually, In some way, as above pointed out, every farmer should provide himself with an adequate supply of No, 1 manure.
According to chemical analysis, the liquid manure of three cows for one year, is worth more than one ton of commercial fertilisers, which would cost ($50) dollars. Will you continue,to waste liquid manure and buy fertiliser’? Think of this, ye farmers who are accustomed to allow so much richnees to ren to waste.
It would be well, and evidently more profitable for farmers to carefully hus- band and make the most of the many sources of manurial wealth at present upon their farms, than to fly to others that you know not of, and whose vaiue and efiects are at best, with any soil or circumstances, unreliable, and not always the same.
We have only to farm as nature farms, to see to it that we return to the soil each season a little more than we take from it, and we shall preserve its fertility. It is impossible to farm successfully and profit- ably, except on the principle of consuming what is produced by the land in such a way that it will be returned to the land from which it grew. This is done by a judicious rotation of crops, pasturage, stock-feeding,
dairying, and manure making.
If the above suggestions pointed out, together with the plans herewith subiuitted, will stimulate farmers to husband the many sources of manurial wealth upon their farms, my labor will not be in vain.

The Russian comic songs, says Archibald Forbes, are full of ‘‘ snap” and nerve, and they always have a rattling chorus, in which everyone within hearing joins, while the singer accompanies the straina of his chorus with a ludicrously fantastic breakdown, in which he seems to dislocate eve ry joint in his body. The plaintive melodies vibrate a strange pathos that swells the heart of the listener, oven although he may under- stand nothing of the words. And the grand chant, with which the fhassive columns moved forward into the battle, glows with the true ferver of fighting ardor. ‘There is a legend of a battle semg so heart-stirring that it inspired Mennonites to violate their tenets, and fight like men possessed.
