farmer's gepvtnuut. [From the Evening Post.] Management of Farm-yard Manure. The (> r st management <>f ham ami yard ma-1 rmte is r, question attracting considerable at tention anions our agricultural papers, as it ; should, for it is one of ranch interest to far- | tilers ; ami especially to those engaged in mi r - ' cd ht'<biinrli ii, or who combine keepin/r and raising- stock with grain and fruit, growing.— . An attentive examination of ranch tiiat lias ; been written 011 the question, and bearing thereon, as well as considt t able practical ex- j per'n uce, has led me to the following conclu sions : 1. The dung of animals possesses its great est material value in a fresh or nndteotnposed state ; for there is more or less loss during de composition, as it is managed with more or less care. 2. The strawy refuse is best employed as litter for stables and yards for absorbing the liquids, and should in the end be pretty equal ly distributed through the manure. Used thus, its own decomposition is carried forward to a better point for application, and that of the dung retarded, as it should be while in the yard. .">. The best winter management of manure is to keep it so mixed with absorbents—straw, dry muck, leaves, saw-dust, <Sce.—that no ac tive decomposition takes place. 4. Or, keep the manure under slteds, which arc also used as shelters for stock, or spread about a small yard where cattle are kept, le vel an 1 well littered in both cases, and its so lidity will prevent decomposition and waste. 80 managed, a mixture of the dung of different animals—the quickly fermenting horsi-manure with the eold, slowly decomposing dung of cow s and swine—will produce .the lies! results. The plan of keeping the immure under the stock, wint' ring thcin unfastened in large stalls or boxes, well littered, of course, secures a good quality of manure, retaining all liquids, and keeping up a slow decomposition, with a small loss from the same. <>. The best method of preventing loss of the fertilizing elements of manure, is to plough if uwfor the soil as soon (if the season will ad mit) as it is so far decomposed that this can readily be done. Let the farm-yard lie closed in the spring ; applying the contents to corn and root crops, and as a preparation fur win ter grain or spring crops the next year. 7. All manure left in the yards through the summer should be heaped in piles, with a plen tiful mixture of muck or other good absor bents, and sheltered from too much rain. A certain degree of moisture is requisite to its best condition. Such manure may lie applied to winter grain crops, or as a top-dressing to grass lands in tlie fall. 8. The greatest sources of loss to the far mer, in the value of his farm-yard manure, arc— From waste of the liquid parts, arising from drainage and want of proper absorbents. From the too active decomposition of dung heaps, especially those composed largely of horse-manure. From the scattered state in which it is of ten kept about trie yards, exposed to sun, rain and winds ; and From delaying its application beyond the proper time to secure its greatest effect upon the soil ami its product. These arc hints, simply ; yet, if I have bee;; able to make my meaning clear to my broiie r farmers, 1 think they will tind them practical ly valuable. A much larger space would be required to go into an explanation of the rea sons on which these recommendations are foun ded, and perhaps it is not essential to do so. J. 11. liIXHV.

CuK.tr PAINT FOR FENCE* AND L>NU is.;--. — The many inquiries we receive on this subject induce us to give the results of any experi ments we make or which come under our ob servation. Having had occasion recently to erc<'t and paint a board fence about three hun dred feet loner, the following mode was adopt ed : Tlic fence was made of six horizontal boards, besides the cap, nailed to red cedar posts, and to avoid expense, the boards (of nearly clear stuff pine) were left unpinned,— The expense of plauing both sides by a ma chine driven with steam, would have been about live dollars. The paint applied was made like common od paint, ground water lime being used for the pigment, not 011 account of any virtue it may possess from its properties as a cement, but because of its cheapness, costing about half a cent n pound. It may possibly, however, be much better than some other paints, asafeuee coated once with it in mixture with oil three years ago, appears as perfect as the day it was applied. In order to give it a warmer tint, to correspond with the buildings adjacent, a small portion of Brandon red was added. A single coat of this paint was then given to the fence, the rough boards retaining enough to be equal to three ordinary coats on piuned boards. About nine gallons of oil were thus consumed, costing about eleven dollars. The pigment was vaiutd at fifty cents ; and about four days were occupied in mixing and applying it, at G dollars eot, the whole surface on both sides and the posts being painted. The total cost was nearly eighteen dollars. Tlic expense of this application, as compnr cd with u-i;i_r white-lead paint, applied in two coats on a planed surface, is as follows : Two coats of white-lead paint are estimated to cost fifteen cents nor square yard. There were 0:1 both sides of this fence and 011 the edges of the hoards over one hundred and seventy two square yards, which at fifteen cents each, would amount to about twenty-six dollars Consequently eight dollars was saved in paint ing, and live more, at least, in planing, if done in the cheapest manner, making thirteen dol lars additional, which would make white lead nearly double the expense of the mode adopt ed. A ham, thirty by forty feet, and with an average height of sides equal to eighteen feet, would present an entire surface of two hun dred and seventy five square yards, to paint which, in the manner we have described, 011 new nnplaned pine siding, would cost a little less than thirty dollars. A coat of whitewash may be applied for a less expense than five dollars. Two coats of white-lead would cost forty-one dollars, besides the expense of plan ing. There is no excuse for any farmer in not giv ing at least one coat of limo-wash occasionally to Ins outbuildings, if he cannot afford any thing better.— Country Gentleman.

The Election is past, ami its results proves that the work devolved , a tee iicpuliluan |>nr(y is not yet com pleted. In nil the Eastern and Xortl.ern portions of the country—in Xew-Knglawl. New Vork.t liiio and the Xorth- West -the RfgnMicaii banner floats in triumph ; while in Southern Jersey. Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois—in short, wherever few newspapers are taken, and where common schools are too new and too feeble to have edu cated the present generation of voters—the black flag of Slavcrv obstructs the sunshine. A stranger to America might di-tinguish those portions of oar country mo.-t blessed with Education. Intelligence.

These farts indicate the path of pressing duty. With no nn inn lily repining* over what is irrevocable—with no ahati menf "of heart or hope because the triumph of Liber ty in her new ordeal is not won at the Long Island and White Plains of her struggle—witli no shadow of regret that the responsibility of governing is not confided to her champions before the* People were fully ready to sustain them- we la-gin afresh the work of diffusing that vital truth which, in regard to the concerns of this world as well as of tiie next, makes Tree indeed. Vow, in the Slave Power'- hovday of victory, when its ministers and servitors are gathering nnd plotting to make the most of the'r triumph and "crush out" the spirit which they vain ly lieiicvc to be crucified and entombed— now, when the faint-hearted or rohl-hearted who lately basked in the an -hine of our premature hope* are hauling off to repair damages ami talking of abandoning the rugged arena of Polities for more ipiiei and flowery fields—now, in this hour of weariness and shadow. Tin: Tiiinrxit renews its vows of eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over tin; bodies or souls of men—to the shameful assumption thai the benighted ai d feeble, whether in soul or body, are to lie regarded and treated as the convenience or the i orcv of their wi-er or stronger brethren—to the domina , ti ic of despots and oligarch*, whether of empires or pian ' tations —I<> the enslaver* of cities and kingdoms in Europe , or the breeders of children for the auction-block and the 1 . cotf in-field in Virginia or Alabama. ! The doctrine that no human being was ever created for I the benefit or advantage of another—that all service bc i twecn mail ami man slionM he free anil reciprocal—that ! the laborer should not toil anil sweat to pamper others' i pride or minister to others' luxury.but for the sustenance anil comfort of those near pud dear to him—is destined to j I certain triumph. It must prevail, for <ld reigns, and j Garth was IL t crealcil to I e a theatre of in justice, oppres sion and mi-cry forever. It must triumph : for all true j • prophecy aflirms ami the vindication of the Divine benig- | ■ nifv inn erativoly tTiptites it. It must triumph : for He- j | mo'cratic America cannot always remain the scoff"of aris- I ; tocrats and the slnittie of leformers anil liherals through ! out the Old World. It must triumph : for Man's history j is not a chaos or a riddle, lntt everywhere instinct with ! meaning : and no heroic effort ever failed of its effect—no ' dmii of martyr blood was ever shed in vain. Hut even if we Republicans were disposed to fold our j arms in slumhornisradversaries woidd not permit it. They 1 are busy to-dc.v in lengthening their cords and strength i cuing tiieir stakes with a vigilance and activity which rc ' vca'.s a conscifistic-s on their part that their dominion must he made sure forthwith or their sceptre will have i forever depart, d. T > day. uivrniidonis of the Slave Row | er threaten and harass Xorthern Mexico, are encamped ; in the heart of Central America and waging a war of cx [ termination on the distracted inhabitants of its petty Re- I publics, while it bv turns leers and scowls at Cuba, while j its most ruthless hands are precipitated on devoted Kan | sas, under the protection anil smiles of the federal Ad j ministration. Kven as we write, the telegraph informs us that twenty Free-State men. guilty of attempting to defend their homes again-t the rapine and violence of Bu ford's and Titus' Mood-thirsty bandits, have been convic ted by l.ec unpte's Court of manslaughter! and sentenced ; to five years' imprisonment at hard labor as felons. This is but a fair specimen of what has long passed for " jns ; tice" in Kansas—a justice which takes the criminals into payan.il aids them in hunting down, plundering and " wiping out" the innocent, whom it consigns to the i State prison if they are ever goailed into the madness of resisting their oppressor# Sin h crimes and wrongs as ! unhappy Kansas nas for twelve months endured, even Hungary or Roland lets nevir known ; and the Power at | whose in.-tigation these villainies were and are perpetra ted sits enthroned in the White House, and lias just ( .t hie ved another four years'ascendancy in the Federal Government. Who, in view of these facts, can say that • Republicans m-y now pile their arms, even for an hour ? Tun TKIRI'NE will be, as it has been, a Political Jour nal—uv.iwi illy, though not exclusively so. It recognizes the truth that Freedom and Slavery are here grappled in deadly conflict, and that in the result one of them must lose all control over the Federal Government. But, while it gives prominence and emphasis to the discussion and elucidation ftlm great issue of the day, it sinks none of 'I bir i 'tcci-tr -of a Business anil family Xewspaptr. ; ■ i.' ilings of Congress, like those in Kansas, will ivit d and reported by in able and fearless corps of • . i i- .■■indentwhile tr in London, Paris, Constantino li.i.'.iua.
