And yet. notwithstanding this perfect knowledge of the fact that thi liquid is composed of a largt , rliou of the most valuable ingredients of the manure heap from which it flows, how very few farmers ap pear to consider it worth their while to save it from utter waste. We have been led t these remarks from having bad frequent, ,>• portunities dnring the past "wo months ot ... serving the reckless indifk enee ipanifet J by many farmers in the con ; truction and . ; ration of their barn yards. Indeed it appcr r ed to us, that had it been the fixed desigj, the owners to afford the n? vst complete es cape for all the liquids from their barn yard -, they could not have acciinp' shed it nie: effectually.

If it is found nectsuiiy to huve the barn yard i> o hill side, it is equally necessary to have lower side of it protected by a wall, or sou e other arraagen ant by which the escape of liquid manure may be prevented. It isalmo-- equally important to have a spout to convey rain water from the roof of the bari) in km Tie other direction than immediately through the barn yard. It is bad enough that the manur heap should be exposed to the rains which fall directly upon it, without adddiug to it the droppings from the rcof of the barn. If such improvident fanners were to behold the ac tual value of the fertilizing materials thus lost, rolling from their parses in the shape of dol lars and cents, how energetically would they labor to prevent the waste. The loss of a single little doilar would stir tberu up to greater activity than the direct waste of a hundred times that little gold dollar's value in the form of liquid-manure.—Year after year, silently but steadily, the golden stream • are flowing from their purges Tel! them ot their error, and they acknowledge it, hut rarely does it happen that being n n.i M it in a friendly manner, th r;.i!;c a .-in-, effort to correct it.
