Waste Manures,
First, in import a nee anion;; the waste manu
res, Both as reminds quantity and <|iiulity, is
the liquid droppings of cattle. In the experi
ments of A i titer Young, as given in the transac
tions of the Highland A'_ r . Society, we learn
tlint Mr. V. took from soil alone 280 bushels
of potatoes per acre; win re the soil received
an application of 82 yards of manure and HSU
bushels of lime the yield was 480 bushels ;the I
same amount of manure and 480 gallons of i
urine also applied to an acre, produced o2<>
bushels of potatoes. According to Dana, the
urine of the cow will manure one and one
fourth acres for a year; that it is more valua
ble than her dung in the ratio or bulk as seven
to six, and in real worth as two to one. It
will furnish nine hundred pounds of solid mat
ter per annum, which, at the present price of
guano, is worth twenty dollars.
When we take in consideration t*x> immense
number of cattle throughout the Union, and
compute the value of their liquid voidiugs by j
millions of dollars—when analysis places before
tlie minds of agricn'turists incontestible proof
of the richness in fertilizing elements these ex- j
crements contain—the fact that so few farmers
ndopt any measures for their preservation he
comes a matter of surprise. The truth is liquid
manure and its system of application are r.owl
ties; we do not appreciate the advantages that
might arise from their adaption, and probably
will not until land wears a trans-Atlantic value 1
and thejrieh, deep soil of our prairies and river
bottoms becomes a myth—a story begotten o!
an idle brain. And such a state of affairs is
neither impossible nor improbable. Here, in
what is termed the Eden of the Empire state. ;
there is such a thing to talk about as exhaust
ed lands. Continued cropping of those cereals
which require strong soil, and lit{!•• or no re
turns of pabulum to the earth, will sooner or
later " wear out ' the best land the sun ever
shone on.
The "slops" of the house, though they will
not bear the importance of the manures wasted
from the stable and cattle yard, are neither
poor in quality or meagre in quantify. Mr.
Miiburn, Secretary of the Yorkshore Agricul
tural Society expresses the belief " that the
amount of liquid manure of this character
wasted in England, if preserved, would pro
duce a fertilizing effect equal to all the hand
tillage of the farmer " The saving of all these 1
liquids is one of the fundamental principles of
Flemish husbandry, and it lias done wonders
for fha't country. There " the thrifty house-;
wife and her active substitute know the value
of what, in our households, is thrown away
and wasted. A small tank or hole sunk in the
ground contains all the liquid which can in
any way he useful—soapsuds, washings of
dishes Ac." A receptacle of this kind con
tains all the washings and seonrings of tie
house, animal and vegetable refuse rich in am
monia, fatty matters rich in carbonic said,
human urine, in fact everything that will aid
in promoting vegetation.— Kurd Neic Yorker. ;
Anorr WEEDS, —Ho yon ask where the
weeds arc ? Sorry to say, in your plowed field
your meadows and pastures, and garden. See ! f
right in plain sight, in yonder pasture, thistles
flourish bravely, both the native American
and the foreigner, mulleins, docks,white daisies,
Johnswott and what not. Havn't time to !
grub them up ! Perhaps vou havn't time to
exterminate them all, root and branch, in one j
year; but you can make a beginning on them.
Every farmer ought to feel a little ashamed,
or at least uneasy, is lie is not gaining some
headway against this invading army. He
ought to he able to say, at the end of every
season, that he owns more free territory than
he did at the beginning. Audit he can not
root out n'l the weeds in one year, or two
years, lie ought to exterminate some of them,
and to let none gd to sc(d.
Did you ever stop and think what gros
feeders th?se invaders are? They carry ofi'
annually a great amount of nourishment .ivhtfch
ought to have been saved for the benefit of
your wheat, corn, potatoes, and the like.— !
Thirty or forty dollars worth is annually lost
on some farms that \vc know of. Lost, ami
worse thaw lost ! How these farmers would
murmur against Providence, if a flood, or hail- j
storm, or drouth, caused thein a loss of halt I
that amount! lSut they take the damage j
from their own carelessness very quietly.
Now, let us speak a word in season. Grub
np at once, the roots of every weed you can t
fmd time for; and if you can not kill all, be. sure i
to prevent their ripening .teed. Set that down
as a rule never to be violated. Now, in this
very mouth of August, when every growing
thing is hastening to maturity, make an on
slaugUt upon the barbarians. Heap high your,
trophies on the battle-field; and are long, fire
them, and offer them up as a sacrifice to
CERES. It'll please the old heathen mightily.
Cot rc rv HORSES. —CoIic in horses is a very
common disease, and if taken in time may lie
easily cured in most cases. It is not {infrequen
tly confounded with inflammation of the bowels
but is easily distinguished, as follows ; Colic
has no increase of the pulse, which is not over
fifty a minute; the animal often rolls : the dis
ease intermits, and there is Out little fever.—
With inflammation of the bowels there is much
fever; the pulse is sometime* a hundred a min
ute, the attack is gradual, and the disease
does not intermit
When colic arises from had food, a pint or
so of a solution of salcratus will nften afford
entire relief. As it assumes more of a spasmo
dic character, pepjierniiut and ginger may be
added.. We have used with entire immediate
success, a small spoonful of salcratus, the same
quauti'y of ginger, and a tea-spoonful of pep
permiut, added to a pint of ueariy hot water,
and given front a junk bottle. Powdered
charcoal is one of the best and safest mediums
for any disease resulting from derangement of
the digestion, and two or three ounces or more
mixed with water, may be given at any time
with great advantage
Inflammation of the bowels is generally in
creased and rendered fatal by irritating med
icines. A drink of sJipp&rv elm, hourly, to
allay irritation—giving tiie animal but little
food, and that weak gruel, and keeping him
quiet, is gooJ and safe treatment.— [ Country
GttUlema n.
BAKED RICE PI DDTNC. —Flavor and sweeten
to taste, two quarts of milk, one tea-cup, of
raisins, two well beaten eggs, a table-spoonful
of butter, and a little salt. Bake two hours.
QUICK GIKC.ER BEER. —To a pail of water
add two ounces of ginger, one pint of ti.olasses,
and a gill of good yeast. In two hours it is fit
iur use.
