Muck ks a Manure,
i'ew fnrmerfi appreciate the value of swamp
muck, and it has been suggested tliat the grea
test reason why it is not turned to better ac
count, is that it is so very abundant, cheap,
and easily obtained. There are few farms in
many sections of the country which have not
enough and to spare, or are situated in near
proximity to large dej Osits of this valuable
fertilizer. In looking over the first five years
of this journal, we are surprised to find so few
accounts of experiments in its use from our
farmer readers, though those few show, in a
most favorable light, its value as an applica
tion to the soil.
One of these experiments reported related
to its use, composted with barn-yard manure ;
upon an old meadow as a top dressing. The
yard manure was piled iu the field late in the
spring, and covered with about one-fifth its
quautity of mnck. During the summer it was
turned and mixed together, and covered with
fresh mnck, and so remained until snow fell,
when 100 loads of the compost were spread
,upon a fire acre meadow, which yielded about
six tuns of inferior hay the previous summer.
The product the next season was eighteen tuns
of first-rutc hay,—a very satisfactory result
to the experimenter. Perhaps he can now
tell us how long the effect of the application
continued, and whether other trials have con
firmed his opiniou of the valne of tflis material.
But there is abundant testimony as to its
practical value. A farmer who has used over
500 loads within four years on a farm of less
than 50 acres, says : " I have used meadow
muck with very satisfactory results on my dry
est land, and never have applied it, (after re
moving the acidity by lime or exposure to the
atmosphere,) without being favorably impress
ed of its utility on land of sandy loam, applied
with or without other vegetable matter." He
composts largely with yard and stable ma
nures ; and thinks so highly of it that he pur
chased an acre of swamp meadow on purpose
to secure muck for fertilizing purposes. An
other farmer in one of the Eastern States,
renovated a barren tract of laud by its use, so
that iu " fields which formerly would have pro
duced not more than twenty bushels of corn
to the acre, he now grows more than eighty.
His mowing fields and pastures were, the past
season, green and flourishing, while neighbor
ing lots were parched with drought."
The following additional statements are from
experienced practical men, and may be relied
upon. We select them from Prof. Flint's re
port to the Massachusetts Board of Agricul
ture. A Middlesex county farmer says :" I
use swamp muck most successfully, composted
with stable manure, on different varieties of
soils, but think it does best ou high laud of a
loamy soil." A Worcester farmer says: "I
use it extensively ou my hard clay seils; it
works well on dry lands to keep theni moist,
and on clay soils to keep them light." An
other says : " I have found it a good manure
on loamy, gravelly, and sandy land, especially
as top-dressing for grass, when composted with
stable manure—two parts of muck to one of
manure." A Norfolk county farmer values it
at $3 per cord, and says it is good Ur all high
lands. One farmer of much experience says
that wood ashes is the best article to correct
the acidity, sometimes a characteristic of new
ly dug muck. A farmer from Berkshire coun
ty, says: " I have used swamp muck for a
number of years past with good results, by
mixing it with yard and stable manure in the
proportion of one third to one half muck, and
consider it worth f 1 per load to use for agri
cultural purposes on soils that are a mixture
of loam and gravel."
There eati be little doubt in the fnind of
any thinking and observing farmer, of the val
ue of muck for all soils deficient in vegetable
matter, and those who hare tried it know and
acknowledge its Worth, yet many of us who
have abundant deposits of valuable muck upon
our farms, make little use of it in agriculture.
We are either too much driveu by work to
find time, or do not properly consider the re
turn so sure to be received for a well directed
outlay in this direction. But we are improv
ing—this and many other neglected sources
of fertility are being drawn upon, and will re
ceive more attention from year to year, as we
awake to the true science of practical agricul
ture.—Jlurol N~tw Yorker.
Barns.
Those who build now, are pretty generally
agreed npon one point ; that it is more econo
mical to build one building for the various farm
purposes, rather than the great number which
are seen so common about old establishments.
Let us look at a few figures, which won't
lie. A buildiug ten feet square contains one
thousand cul>ic feet. Not to speak of the
roof, the outside, presents a surface to the
Weather of four hundred feet. We have, then,
ten feet inside, to four feet outside.
Take another example. A building twenty
feet square contains eight thousand cubic feet;
the outside measures one thousand six hun
dred feet. Here we have five feet inside to
one foot outside. We will now take a build
ing forty feet square. The inside to the out
side is as ten to one !
I am aware that the larger structure re
quires a heavier frame, that is all. The boards
and shingles are the same in either case. 1
know, too, that the wide roof is worn by rain.
That objection, however, is not of great weight.
I hold, Mr. Brown, that one part of a large
barn accommodates another part. It is a sav
ing of stops to have your horse near the vehi
cle in which you wish to attach him. Why go
several rods to a ten-footer, and epen another
set of doors in the wind to " get Out the chaise ?"
What comfort, in returning from market or
town-meeting on a stormy day, and driting in
to a snug floor-way, there to untackle and put
away horse and wagon, with ease and expedi
tion. There is no difficulty in dispensing with
the carriage house ; the barn is the place for
all the vehicles, the cellar takes in all the carts
and coarse wagons—a room at the side of the
drive-way the lighter vehicles.
Then what need is there for a separate buil
ding for tools ; what place 60 central as an am
ple room by the side of the floorway ? You
start from the barn, usually, to go to different
parts of the farm, and you return thither after
the work is done.
I have thenght, Mr. Brown, that portable
bins for corn might be put up in this large
tool room. In the busy season of the year,
corn-bin* are apt to get pretty low, so they
would not lie in th way much when the tools
were most used. I should prefer that the bins
be where they could he seen to often. One
might stand a better chance then of keeping
the fats from d''troting the corn —W I) B ,

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
AND
DIRECT & TO-&. FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
JAMES HARRIS, Electrictax, of Towanda, respect
fully informs the public that he has lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath,
which has proven to be one of the most important and
wonderful discoveries of the age, from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the bodv,
j by galvanism ; more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
! an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
his art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, hesucceeded in doing so, ana quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected, with like results. His success exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, but cured many diseases, some of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of this Bath to draw from the system all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to ttie great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases
which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilftd
physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine
ral's accumulating in the system for years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead. Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the diseases cured hv these
baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's Chnlie,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer,
Ncuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also S. B. Smith's newly invented DIP.F/'T AND
TO-AND fRO ELECTRO M AGNETIC MAt HINE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is verv
great, in introducing medicines into the system through
the pores of the skin—appi'ring it directly to the parts af
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local diseases.
I am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough
of Towanda, or I will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the at>ove
Machines. JAMES HAURiB.
