M * I* ii I ♦ 112 * , * \ ft He 4farmc*'«s Jlcjiaxtmcnt, Manures—Their Increase and Pres er ation. However much rany hav» been said on this subject, it does not geern to have had the d sired effect, when we see so many of those who are consid ered ns our best farmers, neglect to take any steps toward promoting this end ; who instead of devising means for increasing its amount, not even suf fer a large part of that already ob tained to be wasted. Now, I believe that most of those who permit this arc entirely ignorant of the great injury they are doing themselves, and there" may be a few who, though thev have find theirattention called to it. yet fail to adopt any means for reme dying so great an evil. I will endeavor to point out a few of the most prominent sources of waste, and the means by which thes may be obviated. to begin with the most important <>f all manures, which is tiiat obtain ed from our stables and cow houses and'which is usually thrown out into ill' birn-Vitrds tor.-main there with out protection from the weather, un til alter it has bet n soaked l.s ran a''ter rain, it is carried out into the fields to restore th" waste occasion* 1 by the removal of preceding crops. Now ii t'i- «\.i>ie, :fV i -oakinir through the manure, and extracting j from it a large amount of its useful llCß . WHS r. Intt'v "MC I bf firftj caught in tanks, the loss would not ! b as much ielt ; but even tills is in d rie, anil its barns nr" generally built on the side of a hill when possi ble, the water which fulls into their yards runs off almost immediately; and when not so situated, drains are usually cut, Ironi lUt-m to pcnii't n to escape, and thus a i|iiantityof tin most fertile part of the manure is lost. Now. this lo.«s could easily be pre vented, and with slight expense, In the erection of a shed under whic.i the manure could be stowed, or what would be better still, if a covered pit could be prepared in which it might be deposited, and any expense incitr d in this way would soon be re paid. Ammonia is also constantly es caping from the manure in the form of I :us, ami as it js a .-iibstaiicc wliiih contains a lartre amount of nitrogen, which is especially beneficial to crops, it would be well if it were also saved. Now, this can be accomplished by the application ol several substances t< the manure, among the cheapest and best of which is the sulphate of linit or plaster of Paris, and it does it; this way ; the sulpheric acid in the .iulphnte of lime has a greater afTini ty for the ammonia than it has for t >e lime, and t therefore leaves 'lie lime and attaches itself to the ammo iia. formi'ig the sulphate if ammo nia, which is a fixed sa't. Hence the frequent application to the manure, particularly that just car ried from the stable, of a little of tin plaster, would greatly prevent the escape of this gas. There is yet another point to which I would call attention, and this is the way by which wo can increase our stock of manure ; and though they arc many I will speak of two of the uost prominent : —The first is bv tin means of the compost heap, and the second by the pig pen. If vou will only give your pigs the material, th" quantity of manure they will make will be immense. Old straw an I has can be given them with advantage, but still better than these are dead leaves ; you may fill the pen half full of them, and they ssill soon be con verted into the best of manure.—Ger mantown Telegraph. ' A REBEL 1)OO CAPTURED.—An officer who eaine up from City I'oint to-day h .1 with him an ugly looking specimen of the •onus canine, which h» guarded vers carefully. The dog, it appears, svas a great pet with both our own ami the reb el pickets in front of Hancock's corjs. i he dog had beeu trained to carry messan -Os between the pickets.
