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.

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

on observing a lady pass, "Pat, did you ever
see so thin a woman as that?" "Thin," re

woman as thiu as two of her put together, 1

"JOB printing!" exclaimed an old woman
the other day. as she peeped over her specta

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."
