"If the question, ' are liquids flowing fr..m
manure heaps valuable? were seriously sub
mitted to the farmers of this county, it wott'd
provoke a smile of derision, that any one
possessed of commrtt sense would propose *
simple a query. 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. It is almost impossible toconcc
of a more complete disregard of true ecooo

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

Lime Abottt Aftee Tv s —We have
know farmers to make it a regular practice
for successive years, to thro c - tic lime
around their nf plo tree- In the spring a- '
summer. We once noticed tfc: t a tree stand
ing in the immediate vicinity of our dwell:- g.
had all at once, put forth wilh sum.
gy, aud we were at a loss for some time to
define the cause. On examination, we found
that a quantity of lime, .vfaieh hud act!
dentally been sj bled and rendered wortlile- -
by becoming mixed with the refuse of
stable floor, had been thrown at the foot and
around the tree, aud to this, as the principal
cause, we immediately accredited it. and pur
chased twelve casks of lime, ami applied
half a bushel to each of the trees in our or
chard. and found that .1 produced immediate
ly beneficial effects. Not the health of the
trees only, but the quality of the truit also,
was greatiy improved. This application will
be especially beneficial in soils where there is
a luudendancy ol vegetable matter. V>>
would advise our farmers, in some place,
especially in i.- w forest land. , to make the
experiment, aud see if it is not deserting of
the high recommendation it secures.
