Arc moro than death of kings or empires' fall ! Making and Saviu/j Manure* Arthur Young saki, many years tit:'' {: lie that .. within >cni ul' n dung ?iii smells that which' his crop would liav eaten, it he would have permitted it. Sir Humphrey Davy demonstrated th?.* He says,,; I placed a quantity* offer mehi ing manure in a retort, and I ascertaine that it gave oil* a liquid containing a larg proportion of salts of ammonia. Secin this result, J introduced the beak of ai other retort lilied with similar manar under thc roots ol' some grass in the gai den, and in less than a fortnight a ver distinct effect wa< produced on thc gras upon thr spot exposed lo tue-influence c tin- matter disengaged iii fermentation. Tiiore are many substances tin ever farm, which, while in themselves eurie! ing, may be profitably mixed with th manure to absorb ar/d retain those vol: tile portions which arise 'rom the proec? of fermentation. The Hrs: material ,w shall name is swamp muck. It may b truly said that the larmer who owns muck hole of good quality, and know how to use it, is possessed of a minc < w saith, which wi fl surely refider his fart productive and profitable. We spea advisedly upon the subject, having ute thc article for several years in every v: rie'y of form. We say, vMthou; fear i argument or contradiction, that a compo oroperly made of two htads of muck ! ??he of good, fresh manure, is equal, i its effects on gravelly or sandy soil*, loa for load, to green manure:. in order t manage muck to the best advantage, th farmer should so contrive mattel's, as t get a year ahead with his manure, so : not to be obliged to use it until his COM post is fully ripened. Ju our opinioi formed from repealed trials, the noxioi acids must be fully expelled from tl muck by age and fermentation to rca full benefit from its application to tl soil. r August and ?September are generali the most favorable month*) for diggin muck. First, then, the swamps shoul be thoroughly drained; there should b no half way work here, lor the benefit i be derived from iL will fully warrant th undertaking, even if considerablee.\?.en is necessary. When drained, comment carting the muck to a suitable and dr spot in the field where it is to bu use* Lay the cart loads of it in two rows, ; long as ihe heap is to be when finishei into a space say of six or eight feet b tween. Then haul on the manure, an mix at the rate of two parts of muck ! one of manuic, and carrying the heap t high as five feet, the last covering to I of muck. Care should be taken to kee the heap as light as possible, in order 1 eause fermentation. This compost gc into a genera! heat sooner or later. Ii proper to slate that the summer monti are nu.sit favorable for making up tl; heaps, although they may be prepared r late as November. In either case a larg? proportion of manure must be used, an the iieaps wjll need to be shovelled ovc the next April to fit them for Sprin crops. We have composted much wit lime and ashes. Five or six bushels < .-isti?> to half a cord of muck makes compost equal to either r>f thc others, j load of leached ashes tc six loads of mut is also a food compost for sandy land. I applying these composts to the son, w have found, after trying it by spreadin it on the grass ground, and also by turi jug it under with the plow, that on method was no better than the other. A u general rule, after spreading - it at th rate of thirty to forty loads per acre, w harrow it over well, and then ?dow ?tove ?0 the depth of three or tour inches. This we can easily do, as we alway break up grass land from six to nin inches'deep, varying with the quality of th land. By this mode of practic . our cor crops always average as high as six' bushels per acre, and on the best land a high as eighty bushels. Having now give our experience with compost, we hav aorncti.;nfr to say of the barn-yard, i good supply of muck should be haulei to the yard in August or Septembei when if the yard is simpel righi, it wi] absorb all the liquids and wash off th higher parts, and retain them until wantcc The hog fen is also an important help i making manure. Four or five hogs wil make from April to December at leas " thirty loads ot most excellent compost, i properly attended to. In fact it is a bu sines? which they seem fully to under stand and apjrjciate. Tue hog yan should not be extended over the mite! ground, as there will bo a loss by evnpo ration attending it. The yard should b< in as small a compass as practicable, ati( -.wo or three loads of materials put in a r. time. As often as once a fortuigh holes should bc made in the manure wit! an iron bar, and corn dropped into them By attending to this operation the hog? will work thc compost over from top t< bottom. Every farm has not muck upoi it, but every farm has something in th( shape of enriching materials which maj probably be carted to the yards. Rici) turf, thickly matted with grass roots, and only about two inches dee]), is an excel lent material with which to cover a yard The accumulation of leaves and vegeta ble mould in the hollows and at the. foot of hills in woodlands, the accumulations by the sides of stone walls and fences in the lois are also go ?1. Every observing and enterprising fanner will find some thing on his farm with which he may pro fitably increase his stock of manure. Day "Book. . ARTIFICIAL NESTS.-Birds are the ene mies] of insects and tho friends of the farmer. Artificial bird's nests are used by the peasants of Switzerland. An in habitant of Vevay observing that many species cf birds select for nests the hofes they find in the trunks of rotten trees, and that they consequently do not find it easy to settle in orchards, where all the trees are in good condition, began, twen ty-five years ago, to set up rotten trunks in his grounds, and since then he lias had no need to trouble himself in ihe least about clearing away catcrpiliars, that care being entirely left his winged guests, who perform their duty admirably. M. X-"s neighbors, on the contrary, who have not had this foresight, have their or chards laid waste by a host of veracious insects. The Yeverdun Society have gone the length of placing artificial nests even ia the public walka sod communal forest, em th? borden of the lawni, rte. AU these nests are now inhabited by hedge sparrows, redstarts, creepers, and tomtits, all of which may be found in Switzerland as high up as the perpetual snow line. Farming is Business? Too many forget this. There, is poetry in farming, to be sure, if it is rightly managed : but there is no poetry in it if it does not i>qy-if .there are no satisfac tory material results: But farming is business. It is a dollar-and-ecnt transac tion ito produce and market a crop-from the turning the first.furrow to the. delive ry of the last-.bushel, money is involved. Farming should accordingly be conducted 'm a business manner. Each item of ex pense, each moment of time, all expendi ture of l.ibor, should be charged the crops, and if tho market price of the product does not cover this cost and leave n balance, that kind of husbandry better be abandWrcd. Host men acknowledge the force of the ?bo ve position, but say-"why, we luve not thc knowledge necessary to sys tematize our business, keep a book ac count with the farm, and-do things as we see it is only profitable to do." Very well. Suppose you aro not capable. Grant it. There is something which can bc done. Your children may be so edu cated that they shall not follow in your ftoot^tep-per force-be obliged to submit Ui the yoke your ignorance imposes upen you. See that they secure that knowledge, .and insist that they . put it in practice, as they, obtain it. Give over the farm ac counts to their keeping. Furnish the girls ns well as thc A><>ys with the fae i lit i cs for acquiring this knowledge. It is as es sential to one as the other. Let the giris keep the household accounts. Interest lhern in this. Let them learn the lesson Jigures teach whet: used to designate re 'ceipjts and expenses. Thev.wij! thus learn economy-lo calculate. Do not fear they will become sordid. This process will .jive greater power to indu'ge in poet e fancies and poetic employments. And they will be really poetic, for they will Ne based upon facts. So says the Prairie Farmer. - ? .*p. ?- ? liiiils for Progressive Farmers. Subsoil plowing furnishes a .strong evi dence of the value of deep plowing. Should corn be planted in ;t subsoiled field, the corn will bc darker in color, and increased in height, and as a sequence thc 3 ield will be greater. How absurd to attempt lo cultivate nvre land 'than- you can manage. It is time thrown away, lt is better to till twenty acres well, than one hundred in a slovenly manner. There are only two things worth look Jug at in a horse-action mid soundness; for I never saw a " critter" that had good action and was a bad beast. Make fanners of your boys, and you will have the satisfaction of "seeing them honest, independent and respectable mem bers of society. If your hogs are sick, give them ears of corn first dipped in tar, und then roiled n sulphur. In all composts intended for light, san dy soils, clay is one of the most valuable ingredients that can be possibly used. Kingbirds, that there is so much said about, only eat the drones or stingless bees. Hence I think that instead of an injury to the beehive, they are a blessing assisting the workers in ridding them selves of loafers that eat and labor not. "When grasshoppers are so plenty a; to make pastures poor, turkeys grow far. Onions, finely chopped and mixed with Indian meal, once or twice a week, and fed to fowl?, prevent the gapes, and ma ' ny other diseases that fowls are subject to Iris not uncommon to find in factories that where the machinery is stationary rats gnaw tho leather belting where they can get access to it. A correspondent ol the Scientific American states that rats will not taste anything containing castor "il or what is covered with it. and he rc ; commends that thc briting be rubbed with the oil. Any leather exposed lo the dep redations of rats will be preserved by this remedy. - ? ? . HOME.-Some one writes both grace , fully and forcibly : I would be glad to seo more parents , understand that when they spend money , judiciously to improve *and adorn the [ house and the ground around it, they are in effect paying their children a premium to stay at home, ns much as possible to enjoy ir.; but that when they spend mon ey unnecessarily in fine clothing and jew , elry for their clffldren, they aie paying ?hem a premium to spend their time away from home-that is, in those places where they can attract the most attention and make ?he most.display. -- m ? ? ? DOCTORING FR?IT TREES.-.4 gentle man of Rochester was lately in Saratoga ? New York, and was there shown an apple tree in tine healthy condition, which had . been ill, subjected to treatment with calo mel, and thoroughly cured. The tret was afilieted with insects, which were j destroying it and rendering it unproduc tive. A bolo W?S bored into the body of the tree nearly through the sap, and two grains of calomel inserted. As soon as the calomel was take:; up by the sap, the vermin on th^ tree began to die, and it began to bear fruit and has done so for three years, to tho entire satisfaction of the owner. Sulphur may bc mixed with the calomel and produce a good effect. This fact is worth knowing. Tun RESOURCES ot THE SOUTH DOR MANT.-Mr. Editor:-In this time of scarcity of numey and failure of crops, J will call the attention of Farmers lodhe culture ot Rape Seed. The ?inc soil and beautiful climate of this State, free from severe and late frosts, arc well adapted to the culture of this seed. No labor and money spent in pro ducing a crop, will ensure to thc produ cer so rich a recompense as the culture or* this seed. Let somebody make an experiment on a small scale, and I don't doubt that the culture of this seed will be introduced. Attention should be paid to the selection of the planting seed. The 1 ?rgest and freshest should be selected. If time permits, Mr. Editor, I will call attention to other resources at present dormant. L. R. m. Georr/elou'ti Times.
