ENRICH THE SOIL.
To gather up the fragments that nothing be
lost; to collect together and use for manure
all tho waste animal and vegetable matter
that is no longer directly serviceable to man,
should be the object ol every farmer who
wishes to reap a plentiful harvest, and at the
same time improve the soil he cultivates.
Aud yet in visiting many farms it is not unu
sual to see ashes and rubbish scattered about.
or thrown into heaps, often the accumulation
of several years. A spot of land hare of veg
etation marks where barrels were emptied of
their brine: while woolen rags, bristles, hair
and old bones disfigure what should be a well
kept yard.
On visiting some back lot we shall find
mounds, where the carcasses of animals that
have died in the service, sheep, poultry and
swine, are buried, too deep to be of use to
the growing vegetable. Too many farmers
sce-nto think ii they each spring cart out the
manure from the farm yard and stable, that
they restore to the land what was taken away
in the crop the previous year: but never was
there a greater mistake. The manure is what
the animal rejects. The most valuable por
tion o( the soil, that which is assimilated first
by the plants, and afterwards by the animal,
is found not in the excrements of the animal,
but in the animal itself. In this are found
all the elements for the highest organisms.
Ilence wc see the value of the blood, hair,
flesh and bones of the animals: they restore
to the soil not only the materials for produ
cing the vegetable, but they constitute that
portion of the vegetable which builds up ani
mal tissue. Not only is the yield of grass
and turnips greater when grown on soil inj
ured with animal refuse, but an equal amount
of it is more nutritious than that grown on
laud which is not so treated.
It is true that the amount of animal refuse
which the farmer can readily obtain is very
small when compared to the mass of decayed
vegetable matter that is under his control.
But if he will industriously save what he has,
he will add to his soil substances which make
up in value what they lack in amount.
Hair, bristles, woolen rags and blood have
only to be placed on the ground aud plowed
under. The parings of the hoofs of horses
constitute a most valuable manure, aud can
always be obtained at no greater expense than
the cost of gathering them up. The seme is
true of the refuse parings of tan-yards and
currier's shops.
It requires more labor to render bones im
mediately valuable to the crop, than it does
the other portions of the animal, for if ap
plied whole, their decomposition is very slow.
They require to be pulverized, and the finer
the powder, the better the results. As a top
dressing lor grain, grass, or turnips, there is
nothing that equals this kind of fertilizer.
Ashes are in one sense the bones of plants;
they contain all the earthy matter, and when
the wood is imperfectly burned, there is con
siderable vegetable substance in the form of
charcoal. Their use as a top-dressing for
grass and corn in the earlier stages of its
growth, is always attended by the most hap
py results. All vegetable matter, and waste
or decaying substances; even the sifting of
coal ashes, chips and rubbish of variouskinds,
should be carefully collected: and wet from
day to day with suds slops of the house, it
will become of great value. Too much atten
tion can hardly be given to this feature in
agriculture.— Prairie Farmer.
ADVANTAGES OB' GOOD FARMING.
A correspondent of the A'ew England Far
mer gives an account of a Massachusetts farm
as an illustration of what may be done with
"worn-out" farms by young men with no
other means than health, industry and agri
cultural education. The farm consisted of
two hundred acres, aud was run down so low
as barely to yield enough to keep three cows,
one yoke of oxen and a horse. Mr. Richard
ardson, the purchaser, had been employed
upon the farm, working by the month during
the summer months, and teaching school dur
ing the winter months, but never receiving,
in either capacity t over sl3 per month. He
purchased the place, subject to the 'widow's
thirds,' four years before he occupied the
house, though he cut tho hay aud nianiged
the farm with a view to its future improve
ment, so far as he could while working most
of the time for others.
"On coming into fall possession, he began
with four cowfe and a pair of oxen, in addi
tion to the six head previously kept by the
widow. For the purpose of increasing bis
manure heap he kept a great number of
swiuc, and increased his stock of cattle as far
as he could, until ho was able to count forty
head, the largest number he has ever owned
usually keeping about thirty, with from eight
to twenty-eight swine. He has tried the
Durham, Dutch, Jersey and native, and gives
the preference to the Durhauis, and their
grades with the native stock. He has always
raised his own cows, believing this tho cheap
est way of securing those of superior quality
for bis purpose, which is mainly butter-ma
king.
"A peat meadow of about twenty-four
acres has been thoroughly reclaimed. Ori
ginally it was so soft that a man would be
lucky to cross it and not sink up to his waist.
The grass was 'cotton top,' interspersed with
flags, snch as are used in coopering, and
some cranberry vines. The quality of the
mud was such that if a load of gravel was
carted on in the winter, herdsgrass would
spring up the next year, wherever it was
spread. On draining this swamp it settled
three feet. Twelve acres have grown up to
wood; before it was drained the pines would
grow to the height of a man's shoulder, and
then fall down. Twelve acres have been cul
tivated, and year before last a portion of this
produced corn at th# rate of about seventy
five bushels to the acre. In the process of
reclaiming this meadow there were on three
or four acres about forty cords to the acre of
ash, pine and maple logs dug out—some of
which measured two feet in diameter. They
were completely buried in the mud. The
roots, stumps and logs at the surface were
completely rotted. At the depth of four feet
the peat is red and hard. Among the curi
osities found were perfect leaves of birch,
ash and cranberry vines, and one perfect
cranberry has been preserved that was found
four feet from the surface.
'The hay annually cut on this farm is
about seventy tons, aud all of good quality,
none being poor meadow.
"There are two and a half acres of peach
trees in one orchard, five years old; all of
which are now in fine condition, and promise
to bear abundantly. There are also six acres
more set among apple trees in another or
chard. All the jicach trees oil this farm arc
seedlings -being a large yellow rare ripe
called the I'epperell peach. Nearly all the
apple trees of the several fine orchards on the
farm were raised from the seed by Mr. Rich
ardson. There arc cherries, pears and ctbei
small fruits and grapes.
'"The buildings on this farm are no com
fortable and convenient, and have beer built
and re-fitcd by Mr. Richardson at an expense
equal to the original purchase money of the
farm. He lias three barno—s6xlo, 10x28,
■loxls0 —a corn barn, apple house and cart
house, with cellars under all.
"1 obtained no statistics as to the annual
income of this farm, but it was said to be
much larger than that derived from most of
the other farms in this neighborhood. It was
remarked by an observing townsman that the
clear profit realized from this farm was ten
times as large as that from some carelessly
managed ones in town.''
3GJMMONM£.
A CERTAIN I'AKMEK, who in the course of a
year purchased several dollars, worth of goods
(and always paid for them), called at the
store of a village merchant —his regular place
of dealing—with two dozen brooms, which he
offered for sale. The merchant (who, by the
way, is fond of a bargain), examined his stock
and said:
"Well, Cyrus, I will give you a shilling
apiece, for these brooms."
Cyrus seemed astonished at the offer, and
quickly replied:
"Oh. no, John, I can't begin to take that
for, cm, no how; but I'll let you have them
for twenty cents apiece, and not a cent less."
"Cyrus, you are crazy," replied Johu,
"Why, see here," showing a fine lot of
brooms, "is an article a great deal better than
yours (which was true), which 1 am retailing
at twelve and a half cents apiece" (which was
not true by seven and a half cents).
"Don't care for that," answered Cyrus;
"your brooms are cheap enough, but you
can't have miue for less than twenty cents
anyhow;" and pretending to be more than
half angry, shouldered his brooms aud started
ojr the door.
The merchant, getting nervous over the
probable loss of a good customer, aud fearing
that he might go to another store, and never
return, said:
"See here, Cyrus, hold on awhile. If 1
give you twenty cents for your brooms, I sup
pose you will uot object to take the price ol
them out in goods?"
"No, I don't care if I do," replied Cyrus.
"Well, then," said the merchant, "as you
are an old customer, I will allow you twenty
cents apiece for I his lot. Let me see —twenty
times twenty-four makes four hundred and
eight cents: What kind of goods will you
have, Cyrus?"
"Well, now, Johu, reckon it don't make
any difference to you what sort of goods 1
take, does it?"
"Oh, no, not at all —not at all," said the
merchant.
"Well, then, as it don't make any difference
1 will take the amount in them brooms of
yours, at twelve and a half cents a piece! Let
mc see—four dollars and eighty cents will get
thirty brooms, and ten cents over. It wou't
make much difference, John, about the ten
cents, but as you are a right clever fellow, I
believe I'll take the change in terbacker."
When Cyrus went out at the door with his
brooms and "terbacker," John was seized
with a serious breaking out at the mouth, du
ring which time he was distinctly heard to
violate the third commandment several times
by the bystanders, who all enjoyed the joke.
THE MAINE LAW. —Thegoodpeopleof Maine
have been trying the virtues said to lie in a
strict enforcement of this well known statue.
The constabulary, having concluded their
legitimate labors, have recently been employ
ed as follows, if we may believe the Standard,
published at Augusta. It says:
We give the following as the result of the
past week's labor:
A cow arrested for having two "horns."
A colored individual, lately deceased, fined
for being "on his bier. ; '
A pair of boots seized for being "tight."
A little boy's kite sentenced to have its tail
cut off for having a "high time."
A clothing dealer "hauled up" for adverti
sing "Great liar gains."
A confectioner tried lor selling "Ginger
Snaps."
A horse run away and smashed a wagon.
The horse was promptly arrested, hut it being
proved that the "smash" contained nothing
intoxicating, he was acquitted.
Several "cocktails" found in the hencoop
of a prominent citizen, were confiscated.
The success of the police in this seizure caus
ed much "crowing," and it will doubtless
"spur" them on to increased activity.
An unfortunate Hibernian was locked up
for getting a "punch" in the head.
A worthy shoemaker, seized on suspicion of
being a "cobbler," but proving there was no
"sherry" connected with him, was released
on condition that this should be his "last"
offence. He was informed that any future
dereliction would involve the confiscation of
his "all." The excitement "waxed" intense.
Complaint that a barrel of beef was found
"corned" at Adams.'
"Boh, that is a fine horse you liav# there;
how much is ho worth?"
"Three hundred and fifty dollars."
"Not so much as that?"
"Yes, every cent of it, aud another fifty on
top of it."
"Arc you sure?"
"Yes I'll swear to it."
•"All right."
"IVhat are you so inquisitive for?"
"Merely for the assessing purposes. lam
