RESOURCES Or MANURE.
This salgect is always in order among farm
era whose soil haa been long un<W cultiva
tion, and its fertility partial exhausted.
Western farmers occupying a virgin soil, who
a few years since thought there was no use
for it, and moved their barns to get out of
the way of its accumulation, begin to see the
utility of saving and applying it: they Find
that better crops are raised with it. I shall
not attempt to suggest anything new, for it
would seem impossible after all that has been
said and written on the subject; but a fre
quent reiteration of similar precepts may in
duce some one to adopt a better system oi
saving and applying his manure. Does the
reader make the most of bis resources? Is
there nothing left that can be converted into
fertilizing material? When every resource is
exhausted, then it is time to resort to com
mercial fertilizers. How is it with the hog
pen? Is that well supplied with good mate
rial to absorb the liquid os well a* ammonia?
A free supply will tend tokeep she hogs clean
and furnish a quantity of rich manure.
Thenljthere is the privy, which is too fre
quently allowed to w.isie its ammonia, in
stead of having absorbents Mippiled to tix it.
A tight vault, into which dry muck, piaster,
loam, &c., may be introduced and mtxed,
will supply several loads of pi.udrotte, supe
rior to what the market affords, with little
labor, 'i hen hen-roost will supply several
barrels of good guano, the quality of which
there is up question, when home manufactur
ed, by supplying dry leant, plaster, Ac., with
frequent overhauling. A pit so constructed
that it may receive all the slots nnd wash
from the house without waste, will, by biiing
in loam, muck, fine coal dust, &-i., give sev
eral loads of rich material to be applied to
any garden or field crop. Wood ashes, com
posted with dry muck, or loam, bones broken
and mixed in a cask with fine loam and kept
constantly wet with urine will dissolve and
make good bone phosphate. Then often
times animals die from accident or disease,
which may be couverted into manure by be
ing cut upland composted with some of the
various absorbents to be found on every farm.
Urine of all kinds is the most valuable of
manures, and should be saved by having ab
sorbents applied as bedding: when it is con
venient stables snould be so arrauged as to
be drained into pits or tanks. Were every
farmer to save what is at present wasted, the
inquiry "Where shall I get fertilizers for my
ground, that I may have the wherewith to
good crops?" would be less frequently heard.
—Boston Cultivator,
TREES A PROTECTION" TO GARDENS.—A
belt of trees on the north and west sides of a
garden is valuable as a protection to plants.
Flowers, fruit and vegetables couie forward
earlier in the spring, where such a protection
exists to ward off the cold winds that come
from the west aud north. They also mature
better in autumn, where snch a shelter exists.
The Gardner's Monthly says:
We are often astonished at the great differ
ence between exposure and shelter. In our
own neighborhood, us we write, Salv ia splen
dens, Helitrope, Geraniums, etc., are in full
bloom in gardens sheltered by trees on the
DOrthwest; while not a hundred yards from
the one iu our mind's eye, the same flowers
are black, and have been for weeks back; and
in tL middle of winter, a place surrounded
by evergreen belts will be more like a spring
scene, than the winters it would be exposed
—and the rare and choice trees and shrubs
will grow in such sheltered Rpots with vigor,
when in other places they can scarcely be
made to exist at ail, and are then truly class
ed with the half hardy class.
Tall trees are not advisable to grow as a
protection to gardens, evergreens are better
adapted to that purpose.
BEST WAY OE CCI.TIYATIM; LARGE ON
■t'AKDs.— Many have found a practical difii
culty in ike way of cultivating large orchards
with hoed crops when the trees are planted
equal distances each way, hy not wanting so
much land in those crops and being obliged
to cultivate the whole surface while the trees
are young. In commencing a forty acre or
chard, I have planted a few acres in rows
three rods apart one way by one another.
Some 01 the advantages of this plan are: With
the use of a two-horse plow and cultivator, u
space eaen side of the trees more or less ex
tended as the roots advance, can be kept
clean quite cheaply, and the remaiuiug part
of the land is unobstructed for the use of the
reaper and mower in gathering crops of grass
or grain. Every alternate tree in the row
can be an early-bearing variety, to be taken
out when they interfere, and for pears it is a
good thing to have plenty ot trees after the
blight takes its share. By deep plowing on
the line where the trees are to be set, and
then form something of a ridge with the plow,
a deep soil is had to give the trees a start. —
9or Country Gentleman.
STRAWBERRIES. —The crop has turned out
much better than was expected a month ago.
Having set out last year a bed of Russell's
Prolific it has proved true to its name. It
has produced abundantly, and the berries are
of larger general size than any we have ever
raised. The quality is fair, hardly equal to
the Hovey and inferior to the Triomphe,
which latter we consider in point of flavor to
be better than any now cultivated. The "Ja
cunda," a new variety, we are informed is a
poor thing. We are experimenting with a
quite new and unknown variety, and shall
know something abont it another season. So
far as our present experience goes we prefer
the Triomphe, Hovey and Russell varieties,
and it will be well if people do not allow
themselves to be humbugged with new sorts
got up by sharp speculators to make a big
penny out of them* before their character is
established.— Gernuintown Telegraph.
Docs.—The Wool-Growers' Association of
the State of Ohio, at its recent convention,
determined to urge upon the government that
a tax be levied on dogs sufficient either to
raise a considerable revenue for the govern
ment, or materially diminish the number of
dogs, or both. The desire to secure the same
end, ar ends, is by no means confined to wool
growers. The enormous number of useless
and bad dogs in the country constitute one of
the serious nuisances of the times, and there
is nothing we think that will practically re
duce the number but such an amount of tax
ation as will wake it an expensive business
to keep a worthless dog. AH dogs which
have no owners when the assessors go their
rounds, should be kilted, and a heavy fine
imposed upon those who fail to report the
number of dogs they possess.— Exchange.

The Grover and Baker Elastic-Stitch sewing
Machines are superior to all others for tho follow
ing reasons;
1. They sew direct from the spools, and require
no rewinding of thread.
2. They are more easily understood aud used,
and less liable to derangement than other ma
chines.
3. They are capable of executing perfectly,
without change of adjustment, a much greater
variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is much
mors urm, elastic, and durable, especially upon
articles which require to he washed arid ironed,
than any other stitch-.
а. This stitch, owing to the manner in which
the tiuUer thread is inwrought, is much the most
plump and beautiful in us -, and retains this
pluii-c iec and beauty even upon articles frequent
ly w . oncd and ironed until they are worn out.
б. the structure of the seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals of only u
few stitches, if vi'.i neither open, run, or ravel,
but remains rm and durable.
7. Unlike other mat-bines, these fasten both
cads of tho seam by their own operation.
8. Wit hese machines, while silk is used upon
tho right r face side of the seam, cotton may be
used upon the othe side without lessening the
strm ,rh or durability of tho seatn. This can he
done on other machine, and is a great saving
upon an articles stitched or made up with silk.
These machines, in addition to their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of
adjustment, easily learned and practiced, execute
the most beautiful and permanent embroidery aud
ornamental work.
