Manures
COMPOSTS ON THE FARM.—Long ex
perience and observation convince us, that
the most profitable labor on the farm, is
that of the accumulation of the material
for manure which can be found on the
premises of every land-holder, and the man
ufacture of the same into composts with
the dung from the horse and cattle stable.
In the manner in which the lands in the
old states have been mangled for the last
half century, the yield therefrom cannot
be made to pay for the labor, now of so
high cost, and yield a revenue to tho own
ers ; consequently it is time lost to attempt
to raise crops from land in the condition
in which most of our farms are at present,
unless It fresh supply of nutriment is fur
nished to it. It is true those who may be
fortunate enough to have ready cash, can
purchase commercial manures to effect a
renovation of their estates, but alas! linv
few there are now in that position, the
many letters we are daily receiving, con
gratulating Ls on again resuming our old
editorial positon, too plainly show. Even
to those who may have the means, or en
joy the credit to obtain fertilizers, the ex
perience of the last year or two has proved
how futile has been their hopes, as the
thousands of nostrums offered them have
proved almost worthless, and really left
the farmer worse off than he was before.
We therefore renew our urgent appeal to
every farmer, when he cannot attend to
other out-door business, to employ every
opportunity of hunting up all such mate
rials as are to be found on and near his
own premises, to increase his manure
heap.
lonia--Here let us remark, that all
lands which have been long in cultivation,
will be benefitted, if, in addition to the pu
trescent manures, a dressing of Lime is
applied to them. Stone lime will be gen
erally preferred, and if handy is perhaps
the cheaper application ; but, weight for
weight, we have ever believed that oyster
shell lime was the more desirable; the cal
carious principle is the main advantage in
both, but the latter, in addition, contains
some two per cent. of phosphoric dcid—
anti the same is true of oyster shell marl.
When marl, however, is applied, twice the
quantity is required to equal the benefits ex
pected from the pure lime. Some fifteen
years or more ago, the idea was advanced in
the pages of the old Farmer, founded on ex
periments then made by its editor, that
the quantity of lime meet usually recom
mended and applied at each dressine , was
unnecessarily large—that ten bushels per
acre was amply sufficient, but that this was
to be repeated the oftener—that is, . for
each year, the quantity of lime per acre re
quired was ten bushels, and if the rotation
was one of four or five years, 40 or 50
bushels were amply sufficient, te dose then
to be repeated. Within the last year or
two, Prof., Vcelcker, of the Royal Agri
cultural Society of England, in an address
before that body, announced the result of
a series of experiments which he had been
making upon this very point, and they
were identical with those advanced in our
journal, viz ; that all lands must have lime
in them, either naturally or applied arti-
Ificially, but that ten bushels per acre, for.
each year, was all , that was requisite-
Moreover, that lime was not a manure of
itself, but that it had the effect of bring
ing into activity the mineral and vegetable
materials lying dormant in the soil. How
ever, so that there is not too much put on
our fields, which many have found to their
sorrow is sometimes the case; seize the
present opportunity of applying it in such
quantities as your purse or convenience
will permit, whether it be stone or oyster
shell lime, or in the fbrm of marl
Asmcs.—lf it were possible to obtain
wood ashes in Fufficient quantities, the ad
vantage would be gained of furnishing, in
one application not only lime, but also
every other inorganic constituent of cul
tivated plants. A bushel of good ashes
contains about silbs. of real potash, but in
leaching them, the greater part of this and
of the soda they contain, is abstracted,
though the other ingredients retain the
same value as before, among which phos
phoric acid and magnesia are the most val
uable with the carbonate of lime, which
makes up the great bulk of the mass.
Ashes, therefore, are preferable to lime,
applied alone, as they contain all the ele
ments of the inorganic food of plants—
but, where there is inert matter in the soil,
the lime will, from its power of conversion,
or decomposition, have a salutary influence,
as is shown by its action upon worn-out
fields—and so long as it has snbtrances to
operate upon, its effect will be beneficial,
The liming or marling of land, should there
fore always be followed by clover or some
other green forage crop, to be turned in.
We admonish the farmer to avail of every
opportunity of obtaining ashes—they ought
to be scrupulously saved everywhere, or
purchased wherever it is possible to ob
tain them at a reasonable cost. In the
cities and towns, coal is so universally
taking the place of wood for fuel, that it
is now difficult to obtain much of a supply
from this source, but, we again repeat,
whenever possible they should be secured.
The potash of commerce is generally used
in the manufacture of manures, when it
is intended to apply them for any par
ticular plant requiring much potash, but
the quantity so added we imagine is small,
as it is costly; but better purchase it than
dispense with its application.
The Uses of Ammonia
Ammonia, or as it is generally called,
spirits of hartshorn, is a powerful alkali,
and dissolves grease and dirt with great
ease. It has lately been recommended very
highly for domestic purposes. For wash
ing paint, put a table-spoonful in a quart
of moderately hot water, dip in a flannel
cloth and with this simply wipe off the
wood work; no scrubbing will be necessa
ry. For taking grease spots from any fab
ric use the ammonia nearly pure, then lay
white blotting-paper over the spot, and iron
it lightly. In' washing laces, put about
twelve drops in a pint of warm suds. To
clean silver, mix two teaspoonful of ammo
nia in a quart of hot suds. Put in your
silverware and wash it, using an old nail
brush or tooth brush for the purpose. For
cleaning hair brushes, etc., simply shake
the brushes up and down in a mixture of
one teaspoonful of ammonia to one pint of
hot water; when they are cleansed, rinse
them in cold water, and stand them in the
wind or in a hot place to dry. For wash
finger marks from looking-glasses and win
dows put a few drops of ammonia on a moist
rag, and make quick work of it. If you
wish your house plants to flourish, put a
few drops of the spirits in every pint of
water used in watering. A teaspoonful
will add mach to the refreshing effects of
a bath. Nothing is better than ammonia
water for cleansing dip hair. In every
case rinse off the ammonia with clear water.
To which we would add, that, for remov
ing grease spots, a mixture of equal parts
of ammonia and alcohol is better than
alcohol alone; and for taking out the red
stains produced by the strong acids in blue
and black clothes, there is nothing better
than ammonia.— Technologist.
Now is the time to lsok about your gar
den, and make all necessary improve
ments.

The ARION PIANO-FORTE has greater power

It will Stand in Tune Longer,
and in its mechanical construotion it is more per.

meat constructed in the usual modern style.
The arrangement of the Agmffe, the manner of

The use of a bar (which it a part of the Iron

The construction of the WREST PLANK, into
which the tuning Pins are inserted, is such that it
is impossible for the pins to come loosened, or the
Wrest Plank itself to split, as is too often the case
in other Piano-Fortes.
The Extraordinary Evenness
