srm, DOMESTIC FERTILIZERS. The effect of a proper application of or ganic chemistry and vegetable physiology to the cultivation of the soil, are obvious, licnce experiments in agricultural science are more tenaciously bent in that direction. To produce both the largest ami best crops front a given surface, is the desideratum of suc cess. A fertile soil is necessary to exhibit the capabilities of a crop. Many of our agricul tural plants are the result of high cultivation, in which au artificially fertilized soil was the principal factor. The originals of our nu merous varietes of turnip, cauliflower, broc coli and cabbage are wretched weeds. Dif ferent plants, from peculiarities in their structure, draw differently on their same stores of nutriment. Rye will grow where wheat is unprofitable : while buckwheat will yield a fair crop on exceedingly poor soil. A plant which is of slow protracted growth, will organize more vegetable matter on a given soil during a Summer time tlian one which grows quickly. The elements on which plants feed are de rived from the air and earth ; in the former arc ammonia, carbonic acid and water ;in the latter are silicic and phosphoric acid, potash, lime and magnesia. Water is the ve hicle by which they are brought to the roots as well as circulated through the structure of the plants. All the elements necessary to the constitution of the plant must be present. Animals instincively select their appropriate 1 food from the vegetable kingdom ; vegetables take what is nutritive from tire earth and air : and the earth itself appropriates from the water which permetrates its particles whatever is useful to the plant. Now while Agricultural science may never be able to demonstrate to a nicety what in ingrcdieuts in the soil should be fostered and maintained, and which subdued or removed, there are certain general principles of which none of us should remain ignorant. It is well known that vigorous vegetation rapidly ex hausts the soil, and that those manures which restore the elements of which the soil has been robbed, are the most nutritive. Some substances merely qualify the physical prop erties of soils and are termed amendments ; others operate in the main by feeding vege tation, and arc known as fertilizers. Most manures cembine these several offices to a greater or less degree ; some nourish direct ly. by supplying at once to the growing plant the nutriment it requires ; others, indirectly, by making soluble the stores of the soil, or otherwise disposing them to assume assimi lable forms, or by absorbing matter from the atmosphere. The most permanent and abun dant manures are the excrements and waste of animals. These are the residue, more or less concentrated, that remains front the oxy dation of vegetables which have served as food. And by their admixture, under, the agencies of warmth and moisture, the soil more speedily assumes a suitable condi tion for nourishing a fresh vegetation. The great practical lessons taugbt by expe rience and confirmed by science, relative to the use of manures, are — save all the refuse which contains any of the elements of vegeta tion ; apjrfy ulruiujuiitly the mixed ingredi ents of the dung and compost heaps. Commercial manures should be used cau tiously, experimentally. Those very rich in nitrogen will ultimately impoverish land by virtue of the great energy of action they ex hibit. The nitrogen passes into ammonia, excites a quick growth of vegetation by fur nishing abundance of material for cell devel opment, while it at the same time rapidly solves th* fixed minerals of the soil. Stable manure is of inestimable value. It is formed of vegetable substances, and it has only to be rendered friable and soluble to enter again into their composition. Ashes or lime should not be added to the manure heap of the stable, as they will do barm by setting free the ammonia. Next in value are the composts. No prudent farmer will un derestimate them. In some out-of-sight cor ner should be "accumulated all the rubbish that can have the least value as manure. Here can be thrown the sweepings of the yard, decayed vegetable matter of all kinds, old plaster, soot, charcoal dust, soap suds, kitchen and chamber slops, etc. The heap should be dug over occasionally, adding ash es and lime. The ashes of burned vegeta bles are worth hoarding up. They contaiu all that the plant necessarily derived from the soil, the burning proces merely having ex pelled the gases which were immediately or remotely derived from the air. It is folly for the country to spend millions of dollars an nually for manures from the Chinca Islands, when on every farm exists or can be produ ced, without cost, better and more reliable fertilizers. Let our agricultural friends re member these desultory remarks. By putting them into practice they will be abundantly remunerated. — Farm and Fireside. PRACTICAL ECONOMY. This is something that a great many stir ring, driving, enterprising farmers need to learn aud practice in the management of farm affairs. Rural fortunes do not come alone of energetic industry, plowing, planting, dg ding. delving and slaving. All these united, ungoverned by systematic economy, will only run a farmer to ruin in hi 3 affairs, and him self, ahead of Father Time, into eternity. Making economy in all things our leading guide, one half the drudgery of rural life may be laid aside, and the road to prosperity be made easier by half, and four-fold more certain. In no other avocation is it possible by ne glect alone, to have so many waste ways, all at once draining the main channel to wealth; so shallowing it as to render navigation diffi cult, and the rural mariner liable to run on the shoals and make himself and ship a total wreck. There is as much merit, and five times more economy in saving property once acquired, than there is in the perseverance and industry exercised in its acquisition. Ne glect in producing that which is property, may possibly be pardoned; but willful neglect, permitting property once produced to be need lessly wasted, is absolute wrong. It is a late kindness to advise a lookout for thieves after the property has been stolen; or caution against fire after the home is in ashes. So it is late, perhaps early, or between both, to remind farmers in the last month of winter that taking care of last year's produce, hous ing all agricultural implements, and provid ing comfortable winter quarters for stock, it good rural economy, and well worth attend ing to. But the cause of our present com - plaint is of recent date: and, waiting for the season to come round again, the opportunity may be lost. By advising rural economy now, some seeds, falling on good ground, may take root aud Lear fruit. A week since, along the length of a ten miles' railroad ride, we counted seven fields in which the corn fodder of last year's growth was still standing, out-door sentry in shocks; only about one-third of the whole corn-stalk brigade was not standing , having been blown over by winds, or beaten down by snow, ly ing flat, bleached, wet, water-soaked and worthless for all feeding purposes. With hay at #35 to S4O per ton, and good corn fodder worth half that price, such waste is unpardon able wickedness. In the same distance we saw eight hinge less, dilapidated farm gates: four barns and stables open in many places to wind and water; broken down fences, hogs rooting up wheat; plows, harrows, horse-rakes, and di vers other farming implements, rotting and rusting into early warthlessness. Such exhibitions are 'examples of bad agri cultural economy; and we ask every fanner living along that line of railroad, and all oth ers, everywhere, to look at their wasted pro" ducts, their broken down fences, their dilap idated out-buildings, their neglected imple ments, and "torn over a new leaf." Econo my is what all must practice in order to pros per.— Farm & Fireside. Jmw MW. QUEER thing is an insurance policy, If I can't sell it. I can-eel it, and if I can-eel it, I can't sell it. THE latest Yankee invention, is an umbrel la with a gutter around the edge and a spout at one corner. THE man who courts a young lady in the starlight, probably expects to get a wife in a twinkling. STUART, the celebrated portrait painter, once met a lady in the street, in Boston, who saluted him with, ''Ah, Mr. Stuart I have just seen your miniature, and kissed it because it was so much like you." "And did it kiss you in return?" "Why no."' "Then," said Stuart, "it was not like me." "Now papa, what's ahurabng?" said a lit tle four year old Johny. "It is," replied papa, "when mamma pre tends to be very fond of me and puts no but tons on my uuder garments." Ax Irishman remarked to his companion, on observing a lady pass, "Pat, did you ever see so thin a woman as that?" "Thin," re plied the other ; "botheration, I've seen a woman as thiu as two of her put together, 1 have." "JOB printing!" exclaimed an old woman the other day. as she peeped over her specta cles at the advertising page of a country pa per. "Poor Job they've kept him printing, week after week, ever since I first lamt to read, and if he wasn't the most patientest man that ever was, he never could have stood it so long nohow." ONE OK DODO'S STORIES. —Doctor Lord, formerly of Boston has been a resident of the West for about six years. During bis first year, he was extensively engaged in buying wool, and, on one occasion becoming a little bewildered with the multiplicity of crooked roads over the broad prairies, he rode up to a small cabin, enclosed in a clump of locust trees, and hailed a white-headed boy, perched upon the top of a hen coop, with : "Hallo, boy!" "I reckon you are a stranger ?" was the re sponse. "Look here, sonny." "I ain't your sonny." "No, you ain't my sonny, but if we'll jump down and come here, I'll give you a dime. The boy sprang as if alighting from a wasp's nest, and coming up to the stranger, exclaimed : "Well, old hoss, what is it ?" "I have lost tny way, and don't know where I am. Can't you tell me ?" "Yes. You are sitting on that boss." Mr. Lord laughed at the boy's wit, and handed him the dime. The boy took the money, and looked upon it with mingled feelings of wonder and de light, and said : "I reckon you must have a power of tnon ey." "Why so?" "Cause you slather it away so." "What's your father's name?" inquired Mr. Lord. "Bill Jenks," was the reply. "Ah, yes. I know him," exclaimed Mr. Lord. "lie grows wool don't he?" "No, but his sheep duz." "If you knew tne, ray lad, you would be more respectful in your replies. I am a friend of your father. My name is Lord." "Oh, yes!" exclaimed the astonished and delighted lad. "I have heard pap read about you in the Bible," and started lor the house on a dead run, be bawled out at the top of his voice : "Mother, mother, the Lord is out here on horseback, and has lost his way."
