That manure when once made,' should be kept in layers or piles of considerable thickness and kept; tramped or made solid by stock con-, stantly passing over it is now-per haps regarded .as good management! of it. iloWever, if the stock is to be: kept stabled' the whole time—not let out to, pasture at all—then - the ma pure as it accumulates can, perhaps not be better preserved than to apply it immediately, or as soon as possible to the,land. But if this application is'impOssible then it should be pull in ricks or piles of considerable•size i there to ferment and decay until the season arriVes for its application to the soil. And in every case a sup. )ly of water to fermenting manure is indispensable. The escape. of am. mOnia and many valuable gases in thc!procesS, of fermentation aod dis integration_ that takes - place 'in all decaying vegetable matter, is allay ed and the volatile elements arrested and fixed by a timely and regular application of water, either frotn the barn-yard troughl'or of rain from the clouds. ' This at once brings up the ques tion of manure sheds as appendage to barns. The writer is fully aware that it is claimed that shed manure is much Wore, valuable than that made outside which is. not under cov er, but this argument' is qualified in several particulars ; first. if the shed is large and so ,arranged as to keep the contents, dry ; during the decay ing process, little or no proper ma nitre-rniking will'take place, but on ly a so ring and burning of the en -1 tire raps, an such generally comes out lile in quantity and poor_ in quality; 'but if the shelter is narrow and -olien under; very much moisture will reach the manure by blowing rains andinclement weather, and in that case sheltered manure may come out in ; excellent condition. But if Y the shed is large, plentiful andfrequerit application of water from some source should be-conducted to the decaying. mass ; it should - always be kept moist to insure brat results:_ There ismo doubt that as our Cann lands becdree .cut up into smaller 4ubdivisimis that more attention will and ,must lie given to this subject. Manure will be husbanded with the utmost economy—our vards and even the public roads will be gleaned of their rich agricultural 'treasure to swell the crops and fill the barns Of the thrifty farmer. . In the- olden countries of the world this manure-saving is the most valuable economy, .the American sight-seer beholds 4 .— scraping and sweeping and securing in piles this decayed produce of the land only to be reapplied to successive crops ; it is, as anew principal put to interest every year, whiCh compounding with the. principal constantly enriches the farmer by his steadily augmenting.. crops. As:-;this manure saving prin ciple is the success Of the farmers where population is dense. se it, in time, will be the greatest ecotionly the fariners of these older . Easterii States can practice.

When_ added to their food it will stimulate egg-production increases their vigor ,and make them feel well generally. _Young and quick-fed animals have more water and fat in ,their flesh, while' older and well-fed animals have flesh of •a firmer touch and a richer tlavor and are richer in nitro gen. The former may be more deli cate, the. lattert will be more nutri - - tious. - Cabbage is best given poultry whole, hung up by Jbe stalk.

'An' Ohio -Sheep raiser, writing to the Rural New Yorker, says; "Sheep picked out for the butcher - should lfe, - fed generously - and regularly, and upon this point too much stress , can not be laid: s Care_ shouldi be- -taken, hnwever, to, give the sheep only just. enough for one meal at each feeding time. If they are given superabun dance of hay ,they soon learn to be particniarin selecting the beat part only and if there is not enough of this' at one feeding time, they will go' hungry for the next.' My own ex pen,enee ;agrees with- that of most Successful sheep owners, that fatten ing cattle should be fed three times a day, though some of my neighbors think twice often enough. It is also very important that the sheep should not be allowed to- suffer from want of ,Watet; • neither shoal , they , lack a s f npply of salty foinTi though salt is not necessary to them in the winter as in summer, still they will thrive better if it is fed to them at least once a week in all seasons." Catarrh Sheep. • - , Sheep run at. the j nose - sometimes because of cold, but often it is chron ic catarrh, and .is not easily cured. If they are made to inhale the steam from hot vinegar or a-decoction.of hops,.they.iill throw out a great deal of mucus which will be loosened by-inhalation. The steam 'may' be made by dropping a live coal into a Nessercontaining the liquid, , -insertinc , a hot iron. After.tbe'tnu cus has e 'been discharged, srheaib. the. nostrils. with pine tar.

A hood may be put. on the head of the sheep to prevent the Wain from escaping, and the head of the animal must be held directly over the vessel.

I‘"s'l4' • A correspondent of the Farmer's Advocate Says.: " Sonic ten or,twelve years ago an agricultural writer ob served his bull to be free. from lice, but not so the rest of his cattle and, thinking over the matter, he came-to the conclusion that the labit of pawing dirt: over himself must have the effect of keeping the lice off the bull, and. he tried dry earth on the rest of the cattle with the best : effect. Ever since reading the above, I have used nothing but dry-earthy and liave repeatedly put it .on cattle having lice, and have found it per.' fectly efficacious, both as a preventive and a cure.
