Tim latest ayebieological 'exploit has
been the unearthing of a great Asiatic
empire, whose name and existnce until
recent excavations in the Asiatic provinc

viously unknown. The unearthed Em

and its yule extended from the Caspian
to the Xgean SeaS. The Hittites Jere a
literary people, and one of their principal
cities was called 'Book City. There are a
few scattered notices about this, people ib

they were then in their decadence. Some

deceased by the minister officiating. lu
view of the utter wickedness of the man's
life it was hard to think of anything that
could be adduced to gratify this natural

ificve used all kinds of rough Mixtures. but could

friend directed me to use Dr. Gunman's Cough
Ind Consumption Cure. I tild so, with hut little
faith at the time, but after using I changed my
mind, and I cast conscientiously say, after taking
only one bottle. I did not only obtain relief but am
not troubled with that fullness In the morning.
My cough has stopped, and I can obtain a 1/0011

er, for their supply... oft. witteri'ii now
haidly 'Conceded: - BM the'.'. great
-waste of valuable-manure in long wa
tering lanes is • a serious' argument
against their use.- 'Tis true that the
location of some farms is not favora
ble to a plentifid supply of water at
either barn or house, but where Wells
of modCrate,dePth. cannot be
,had,
then cisterns must be resorted to, for
they are available _ upon ' tho Welted
hills as well as- npon the lowest
mea
dows.
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

time, will be the greatest ecotionly the
fariners of these older . Easterii States

Pickings From the Poultr. Yard
In no case breed from ; sickly or
weak constitutioned fowls, as your

Fowls with canker or- roup will

Cayenne pepper, ginger or mustard
for fowls isquite beneficial. When_
added to their food it will stimulate

,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. At
first it may not be. touched, but
when one' fowl begins to peck at it.,
the rest' will be tempted to, keep on
until little remains. Being suspend
ed it does not waste or become pol
luted, and wia remain in good con
dition to be eaten at will.
Moderately -fat animals are the
most- profitable. Every • excessive
fat animal

When an: animal is ready for market,
sell it; if there is feed left, buy some

When soft eggs arc laid by foir s

occasioned by the•-birds being over

F - ittening Sheep.
'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. Scotch' snuff.
dropped.in . the nostrils will cause the .
sheep•to throw out the muctiS, but
this remedy isnot so effective as the
steaming. 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. '• Sheep affected with
catarrh Should not -b2, exposed to cold -
storms or cold - winds, as either will
increase the malady. ,
Lice 'on Cattle. 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. If .in winter I find it
needed, and cannot get itjotheiwise,
I go into my cellar And obtain a , few
quarts (no danger of ping to much),
and: dry • it' On . the stove • then
Sprinkle it over. the back from head
to tail, arid, -the earth working,, in

as ' efficacious, less dangerous land
less expensive than tobacco qt any
acid's recommended." '

"ORE OF TUFA! ERE- Ktges."—When

Majesty one day paid a visit to the s hip
of an English Commodore lying in the

member of the Neapolithn suite, cruis
