From the Germ&ntownTelegraph. Some Remarks on Manure !u all of the branches of agricul ture, there is perhaps no particular inn* which causes such a great differ ence of opinion, both in the theory and practice as the formation and care of manure. Some prefer one mode of preservation and some anoth er ; but all agree upon one point,viz ; that it should be well sheltered from both the sun and rain. The best method of attaining the point is the subject of various discussions and disputes. If manure is allowed to lay as it is formed iu the yard until spring, and then throw into heaps under shelter, it is liable to heat and "fire-fang," and in this way lose more in value than was gained by shelter from the sun and rain. Some contend that the better plan is to allow the manure to remain as it was formed until spring, and as soon as the cattle are turned out to pasture cover it with straw,weeds or earth. Those who adopt the latter plan argue that if no water is allow ed to escape from the yard, the rain will by keeping the manure moist, benefit it. Their argument is that if the water cannot escape by any oth ei outlet than that of evaporating it cannot carry with it any of the valu able portions of the manure. But it has been clearly proven that when manure is exposed to the atmo sphere there is a waste of its essen tial parts in the form of gases, and that this waste is only at or near the surface, where the manure comes in contact with the air. When the ma nure is allowed to remain spread over the yard as it was formed, there is a large amount of surface, and conse quently a large amount of waste in the form of gases. It is therefore to our interest to collect our manure in to such piles as will expose the smal lest amount of surface in proportion to their cubical contents,and still far ther to prevent loss, to cover the pile with earth or sods. But in doing this we must use care to prevent the manure from attaining too great a degree of heat,and thus defeating our aim. The best plan is to throw it under the sheds during the winter,and thus make the cattle pack it down as the season advances. By this plan we avoid all danger from "fire-fanging." When the last of the manure is thus thrown up, the whole heap may be covered with earth and sod, and thus there will be but very little waste of gaseous particles, which constitute a very valuable portion of ail ma nures. It is a common practice with some to use plaster or gypsum as au absor bent for the gases, which issue from their manure heaps. That it acts under certain conditions) as an ab sorbent, cannot be denied, but wheth er it benefits the person who applies it, is entirely another question. If we take fresh manure from a horse stable which has not been cleaned out for a week or two, and tramp it into a pile as solid as possible, after covering it with plaster, we will find that ammonia will no longer be given off, and would at once be led to sup pose that we were saving so much of what would otherwise be lost to our manure heap ; but if we carry the experiment a little farther,l think we will find that the absorption, like the Irishman's surprise, will be "the other way." If, to carry out the experiment we allow the manure and plaster to re main for a month or two,we will then find that it will begiu to give off" am monia, because plaster will only act as an absorbent in the presence of moisture, and when that moisture has evaporated will give off the gases absorbed. Those who apply plaster to the floors of their horse-stables with the view of promoting the health and comfort of their horses may attain this result, but when applied as an absorbent of ammonia it is of little use unless the manure is afterward kept moist or damp. Farmers differ materially as to the mode and time of applying their ma nure, but by far the greater number allow it to remain in the barn-yard all summer, and spread it on the oat stubble in the fall in order that it may be turned under for the wheat crop. A few haul the manure out on to the sod in the spring, and plow it un der for the corn crop ; those who practice this plan argue that by thus turning the manure under they avoid Ihe waste of its most valuable por tions which must take place if it is kept in the yard all summer. The manure not having advanced far in the stage of decomposition, does not benefit the corn crop much, and as the decomposition goes on much more slowly when it is buried in the ground than when it is in the yard, it does not much affect the oats crop, but comes into the proper stage of decom position in time for the wheat and grass crops. There is also a great variety of opinion as to the proper depth for plowing when turning under manure, but I believe that most of our scien tific agriculturists agree that the re sult is about the same, whether it is turned under to the depth of four or eight inches ; when near the surface it decomposes sooner, and hence acts sooner, and the supply is sooner ex hausted ; when turned under deeper its action is more extended and slow. Hence, if applied just before the crop it is intended to benefit, it should be turned under by a shallow furrow ; but if the interval between the ma nuring and the crop is prolonged, the furrow should be deepened in the same proportion. G. P. KOGERS. Eogle Farm, March 2. THE TEETH or A HORSE. —At five years of age the horse has forty teeth —twenty lour molar or jaw teeth, twelve incisor or front teeth,and four tusks or canine teeth, between the molars and the incisors, but usually wanting in the mare. At birth,only two nipper or middle iucisors, appear. At one year old,the incisors are all visible on the first or milk teeth. Before three years, the permanent dividers which are next to the nip pers are out. At five the mouth is perfect, the second set of teeth having been com pleted. At six (he hollows under the nip pers called the mark has disappeared from the nippers and diminished in the dividers. At seven the mark has disappear ed from the dividers, and the next teeth, or corners are levelled, though showing the mark. At eight the marks are gone from the corners, and the horse is said to be aged. After this time, iudeed, good au thorities say after five years, the age of a horse can only be conjectured.— But the teeth gradually change their form, the incisors becoming round, oval, and then triangular. Dealers sometimes bishop the teeth of old horses ; that is, scoop them out to imitate the mark ; but this can be known by the absence of the white edge of enamel which always sur rounds the real mark, by the shape of the teeth, and other marks of age about the animal.— Rural Gentleman. CARE OK ANIMALS. —Any one who does not feel an inclination or capac ity to take the amount of care and pains necessary for the well-being of an animal, ought conscientiously to abstain from having one in charge. A carefully tended pet whether dog or cat,is a pleasant addition to a fam ily of young people ; but a neglected, ill-brought-up, ill-kept one is only an anuoyance. We should remember, too, in all our dealings with animals, that they are a sacred trust to us from our heavenly Father. They are dumb, and cannot speak for themselves ; they cannot explain their wants or justify their conduct ; and therefore we should be tender towards them. Our Lord says not even a little sparrow falls to the ground without our Heavenly Father's knowledge, and we may believe that his eye takes heed of the disposition which we show toward those defenceless beiugs whom he thinks worthy of his protec tion WHAT IS PROGRESSIVE AGRICULTURE? —The JV. Y. Observer answers this question in a few words, but very comprehensively, as follows : Under its influence spring tasty and convenient dwellings, adorned with shrubs and flowers, and beauti ful within with the smiles of happy wives, tidy children in the lap of thoughtful age—broad hearts and acts, as well as words of welcome.— Progressive agriculture builds barns and puts gutters ou them, builds sta ble for cattle and raises roots to feed them. It grafts wild apple-trees by the meadow with pippins or green ings ; it sets out new orchards and takes care of the old ones. It drains low lands, cuts down bushes, buys a mower,house-tools and wagons, keeps good fences and practices soiling. It makes hens lay, chickens live, and preveuts swine from rooting up mead ows. Progressive agriculture keeps on hand plenty of dry fuel,and brings in the oven-wood for the women. It ploughs deeply, sows plentifully,'har rows evenly, and prays for the bles sings of heaven. SWELLED LEGS IN HORSES.—MANY horses are subject to swelled legs.— In old horses it arises from conges tion of the legs which depends on the weakened action of the heart incident to old age. There is not much to be done for cases of this description.— Another class of cases occurs in hor ses of a lymphatic temperament, and the exciting causes are high feeding and want of exercise. The horses' leg becomes swollen, hot and painful, and the horse goes lame on the affect ed limb. The proper treatment for such cases is low diet and laxativa medicine. In severe cases I have sometimes scarified the affected leg, but this is only advisable in the ear ly and acute stage of the attack.— Half au ounce of nitrate of potash may be given once a fortnight to hor ses that are subject to swelled legs, and where it recurs frequently, once a week. The swollen leg sometimes attains enormous dimensions,and the swelling may become permanent. I have seen a horse's leg swollen near ly as thick as a man's body, and in one case which I examined after death from a different malady, I found that the swelling was produced by the eflusion of lymph between the skin and sublacent tissues.— Dr. Mnrrau in Western Rural. PRACTICAL HINTS. —A coating of three parts lard and one part losin applied to farm tools of iron or steel, will effectually prevent rust. Com mon nails heated red hot and drop ped into cold water will clinch and answer the purpose of wrought nails. The sharp corner of a common Indian arrow head or flint will cot glass quite effectually. A good wagon jack may be made of two pieces of boards two or more feet long. Place the board in front of the wheel, one end on the ground, and the other just un der one of the spokes, close up to the felly ; then take hold of a spoke on the opposite side of the wheel and lift ; at the same time place the sec ond board under the axle tree. In this way a loaded wagon may be lifted with ease. Rusty nails may be drawn from wood without difficulty, by first giving them a blow hard enough to start them a little. A gun will not need cleaning for years if the muzzle is tightly corked, and a piece ol rub ber kept on the tube under the ham mer, while standing idle. ONIONS AND POULTRY. —Scarcely too much can be said in praise of onions for fowls. They seem to be a preven tive and remedy for various diseases to which domestic fowls are liable. Having frequently tested their exel leucies, we can speak uuderstanding ly. For gaps and inflammation of the throat, eyes and head, onions are al most a specific. We would,therefore, recommend giving fowls, and espec ially young chickens as many as they will eat, as often as twice or three times a week. They should be finely chopped. A small addition of corn meal is an improvement. WATER PROOF SOLES OF BOOTS AND SHOES.—A correspondent of the Phil adelphia Ledger writes that six years' experience has convinced him that a coat of gum copal varnish, ap plied to the soles of boots and shoes, and repeated as it dries, until the pores are filled and the surface shines like polished mahogany, will make the soles water proof, and also cause them to last three times as long as ordinary soles. STEAM has been defiued as a bucket of water in a tremendous perspiration. (Crockery & fflcrcf)anbhr.
