AGRICULTURAL
OPEN BARN YARD VS. MANURE Snsns.—lf
the whole loss consequent upon the use of open
barn yards as the general receptacle of manures,
were to be attributed to the evaporation of
ammoniacal matter alone, the necessity for
enclosures, such as manure sheds, would not
be so great as at present ; but when we take
into account the immense increase in cartage,
consequent upon the use of the open barn
yard, together with various other losses, it
becomes perfectly evident that covered sheds
for manure, properly constructed, with a cis
tern to receive the drainage, and a pump to
restore it to the mass, are absolutely indispen
sable to the greatest economy.
Let us suppose a barn-yard to be 100 by 80
feet, then with a rain-fall of 25 inches per
annum, the quantity of rain falling on such a
barn-yard would be 103.868 gallons, weighing
nearly 464 tons. Much of this would neces
sarily run off, carrying with it the more pro
gressed, and therefore the more soluble inorgan
ic constituents of the manure, and after full
allowance for evaporation, still many tons
would be absorbed by the straw, costing at
least twenty cents per ton if carted for a quarter
of a mile. When manures are properly taken
care of under sheds, they become concentrated,
more thoroughly decomposed, and without any
loss by washing; the loss by evaporation is
but slight., as they present so small an area
from which the evaporation can occur, while
the cartage of manures so prepared is reduced
materially in cost. In the open barn-yard the
litter is not decomposed until after the farther
composting of the mass, requiring handling,
cartage, etc., all of which are materially in
creased by the immense amount of water,
present, while the covered shed system, we
have so often recommended, secures the de
composition of the manure during its accumu
lation, and without loss, giving a minimum
bulk in the best condition for use.
We have frequently described the manure
shed, but for the purpose of illustrating some
of the principles named above, we will repeat
in part its plan of construction. The base on
which the compost heap is to be placed should
sink slightly below the level of the soil, and be
faced with clay or other substance, giving a
smooth bed and varying from a level, so as to
cause an easy flow toward a cistern sunk at the
lowest end. In this cistern should be a parti
tion, so that any pieces of litter falling in would
remain on the same side of the partition, while
the more fluid portions would pass through
holes near its bottom, and so occupy the oppo
site side. In this section should be placed a
chain or other single pump, by which the fluid
drainage of the manure heap could be carried
back two or three times a week to the top of
the heap ; indeed, this pump may be so arranged
as to be frequently at work by a windmill; the
quantity to be pumped is not large, and there
fore a z ery cheap contrivance is capable of doing
the work. On this heap may be thrown all the
weeds of the farm, all the manure from the
stables, while the fluid manures may pass in
gutters under ground from the stables to the
fluid cistern ; similar pipes may convey all the
waste waters of the house to this cistern - muck
leaves from the woods, head-lands, and a va
iety of other wastes may find their way to this
compost heap. The continued pumping and
consequent repeated passage downward of the
fluid drainage through the mass, will secure not
only the necessary decomposition without fire
fanging or over-heating, but by dissolving the
inorganic portions as fast as they are liberated,
disseminate them through those layers which
are of less value. Swamp-muck, river-mud,
head-lands, and like materials occupying a
strata in such a heap, will be continually re
ceiving the parts rendered soluble from the dung
of animals, until the whole mass will be ren
dered homogeneous. The advantages da not
cease here, for the continued change of position
of all these constituents produces new chemical
conditions in every part of the heap ; so that all
seeds are decomposed and the farm thus kept
clean. Pernicious results, such as occur when
sulphuretted hydrogen is liberated, are pre
vented. A small quantity of sulphuric acid may
occasionally be introduced into this cistern, for
changing the carbonates of ammonia into the
sulphate, so as to do away with their volatile
character.
Manures thus prepared are suited to all uses,
while those from the open barn-yard can be
used only in special cases. If no other advan
tage should arise than that consequent upon
the thorough decomposition of weed seeds—not
possible in the open barn-yard practice—this
alone would warrant the erection of manure
sheds. In properly constructed stables, the
results of which are to pass into the manure shed,
the amount of litter consumed is materially less
than in the open barn yard practice, while the
quality of the resulting manure is better. Pot
ash, soda, lime, and many other constituents
which may be required by the peculiar condi
tion of the farm, may find their way in moder
ate quantities to this compost heap, and be so
evenly disseminated through the mass, as to
feed plants without destroying their finer roots
and spongioles, from want of a sufficient amount
of division. In Flanders this plan is, with
some 'modifications, carried out extensively;
lave amounts of water are passed in the cis
tern and pumped upon the mass, so that all the
manure may be carried out in fluid form from
the tank; the whole compost heap eventually
decomposes, or rather by continued addition
and continued decomposition, the mass remains
the same, while the valuable portion, in the
highest possible condition for assimilation, may
be taken as needed from this tank, in a form
capable of being applied not only before the
planting of crops, but during their growth. All
parts of the field may thus be rendered alike,
even where the soil may differ, the poorer por
tions receiving the larger amount of this fluid
manure. Such a large heap, properly manip
ulated, gives off no offensive gases to annoy
animals or man, while the open barn-yard is a
nnieance scarcely to be tolerated. A field put
down to grass with compost manure so pre
pared, will be even in texture and quality,
while one supplied with rough manure from
the open tarn-yard will be found to vary, not
only in the kinds of grass, but in their quality.

CEINBRIESI.—There is much less attention
raid to the cultivation of choice varieties of
cherries, among farmers, than there should be.
In viewing large farms, we too seldom see a
proper supply of this fruit, which is so easily
obtained. No fruit tree requires less attention
than the cherry. In two or three years at most
it begins to bear, and rarely fails thereafter to
produce a crop. The cherry tree should be
*ray staked, when transplanted, and kept so
for at least three years; care should also be
taken not to bruise the stem either when setting
out or at any time afterward. The practice
sometimes resorted to, by inconsiderate per
sons, to shake down the fruit, of jarring the
trunk with the boot and lacerating the bark, is
a. most pernicious one, and almost always per
manently injures the tree, if it does not even
tually destroy it.
Except the birds, the cherry has few enemies,
and these, so far as we are concerned, are wel
come to one-half the crop. We never complain
when they do not take more. Indeed, we cul
tivate cherries in full partnership with the
feathery tribe ; but we sometimes think when
they have the dividing of the crop, that they
take a little more than their idtare!
, nearly all our nurseries, the following
iraziahea of the cherry can be obtained: 1.
Early Purple Guigne; 2. Maydnke; 3. Early
Richmond ; 4. Governor Wood ; 6. Elton ; 6.
Black Eagle; 7. Black Tartarian; 8. Knight's
Early Black; 9. Downtown; 10. Bigarrean ;
21. Downer's Late.
Here are eleven sorts; the lot will not cost
over six dollars, and they will, in three years
from setting out, furnish a supply of cherries of
the highest quality, inan abundance sufficient
for any family for domestic use. After three
years, a thousand pounds can be sent to market,
with anything like a crop.—Germastown Tel

Read the following from the New York Courier:
ENORMOUS BUSINESS FOR ONE NEW YORK 111ERCRANT
We are happy to inform our fellow-citizens that there is
one place in our city where the physician, apothecary,
and country merchant, can go and purchase pure Wines
and Liquors, as pure as i mported, and of the heat quality,
We do not intend to give an elaborate description or this
merchant's extensive business, although it will well re
pay any stranger or citizen to visit UDOLPEO WOLFS'S
extensive warehouse, Nos. 18, 20 and 22, Beaver street,
and Nos 17, 19 and 21, Marketheld street. His stocker
Schnapps on hand ready for shipment could not hare
been less than thirty thousand cases; the Brandy, some
ten thousand eases--Vintages of 1836 to 1856; and tea
thousand cases of Madeira, Sherry and Port Wines,
Scotch and Irish Whisky, Jamaica and St. Croix Rum;
some very old and equal to any in this country. He also
had three large cellars, filled with Brandy, Wines, &c..
in casks, under Custom-House key, ready for bottling.
Mr. Wor,vs , a saki of Schnapps last year amounted to
one hundred and eighty thousand dozen, and we hope in
less than two years he may be equally 'succeed with
his Brandies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every lover of
bis species. Private families who wish pure Wines and
Liquors for medical use should send their orders direct
to Mr. Wins; until every Apothecary in the land make
up their minds to discard the poisonous stuff from their
shelves, and replace it with WOLFIVEI pure Wisse and
Lull:roes.
We understand Mr. Worse, for the accommodation of
small dealers in the country, puts up assorted eases of
Wines and Liquors. Such a man, and such a merchant,
should be sustained against his tens of thousands of op
ponents in the United States, who sell nothing but imi
talons, ruinous alike to human health and happiness.
