How to Save Manure at Home< '" There is no work that pays me so well as .' making manure on my own plantation. I 'make it a business and attend to it as well as 0{7'??, i .Jt. djo to chopping out my cotton, and am at it call the time, and it pays me well. Peeing the Dickson Fertilizer Company of ? Augusta has offered premiums equal to a . thousand dollars cash, for upland crops made on home-made manure, it may J)c some young farmers will euro to know all the elements ofjnanurc that go to waste on his own land, and I will give my plan, with the remark that he will do well- to follow it till he finils a'plan that is better. Homc-mudc manure is the best of all kinds, and the average cost of it need not be over one dollar per 'ton, ten tons being more than equal to one ton of the best [guano sold. I do consider, however, the Dickson Company has done well to put a prenjium to encourage this branch of economy on the plantations, for the more one makes at home, the more he will find. he needs, and will buy. Nine-tenths of our people don't know what rich lands will do, and when they.'find it out all sorts of manures w ill be/-properly appreciated. But to my plan. I have an old. mule and dump cart, and hire an old darkey every year, whose only labor is to hutl manure and stuff to make it. 1 never stop him to go for the mail, nor to chop cotton, nor to pick cotton cvon. Every day that old man hauls with his mule, and if ever I hjive a spare hand from the orop I send him to help in the same business.?1 Leaves and pine straw to fill my stalls and put uuder iny cow sheds, and the same mixed with rich dirt from the woods to cover all my lot a foot or two feet deep; sweeping from the yard, garbage from the garden, and drotwines from stock outside the lot and in the highways to put on the compost heap; now and then a barrel of lime or plaster from town to use in composting. All these the cart gathers in from day to day. My stables arc cleaned out and relittcred as often as the stall^ little foul, and all the cleanings go under the manure shed to rot down thoroughly, and now and then a peck of plaster thrown over it to saye the ammonia. Or, if the manure shed is fuU^hen J haul to a convcniwit*f<ph( iir tire field where it is to be used, and there make into a neat heap aud cover well with earth. If it is very damp and strong some dry earth mixed in with the pile occasionally prevents evaporating yuji/firefitnging. 4 My horse lot or barn-yard is cleaned out but once a year, th? ljtter being put in gradually, so tluit each layer becomes well trampA11 mtr miMlo lirura orA (nrnini in ^u. XJkM UJJ. V?w?w ? here every night, and oc.osionally a little corn thrown to the hogs.on the litter, to set them rooting'and turning it over, which ' the better. In the winter I can ustolfy *haul out as much as 200 to 300 cart loads from this lot alone; but in doing this all my tcanis and hands help, as it i^*lft**Mggest job of the kind in the year. Any timb after corn is gathered I begin to haul out aud bank up manure iu the field iu convenient piles and cover with dirt. My compost heap is made altogether from about the house and garden and wood pile. All the rotted chips, cinders, ashes, yard sweepings and garbage go on this pile with Sometimes a little lime to decompose it thoroughly, and strong snap-suds from the wash ^ut poured on. This makes the finest and richest of all manure heaps; and while it costs Fcsists of all, being built up almost entirely by bouse servants in cleaning about tlie yard and garden it will often prove equal to oneihird its weight in Peruvian guano. The hog-pen, when I ain fattening my ' hogs', is a sourco of the best of all niauures. My old carter throws in a load of litter every day or two filling the pen a foot deep by tbd'time fhe hogs are killed, and I fiud this, the most durable in its effect of all the _ T 1 manures^jt-jnave ever usee, r I dd sot know how many tons of all aorta ' of manure I get every year. I think, with ull the hauling back and forth, I got three cart loads on an- average" every day available for u&e^cbahting of course, all the help I. put. in -the winter and spring. This would give-.nine hundred cartloads, equal certainly to three hundred tons, and worth, sit my calculation, $1,500, at least. And jJJ as Imay safely say, the yield -from omman and mule, with only such help es T can throw in' conveniently. I us* my manure liberally as I go, sometimes putting 200 cart loads to an acre, often 100,-anjl when onee such Hberal dressing is plowed in.that land will be rich.for several years and works easy, and does not oake nor suffer from drought so readily. I consder the increased yield in one year, from the manure saved the year previous, pays liberally the cost of saving and applying it," and leaves me the increased yield evere subsequent year as uett profits, equal to 75 per centum, I find also that on land well improued with my- home-made manure, a very small application subsequently of commercial manures makes a more wondenful yield than a thousand pounds would do on laud that has dud no hams compost 011 it. The richer my lands are with home-made manure, the better it pays me to use guano on tnc same land. Mr. Editor, T have had such succdccss in the practidc of uiy plan that I want to scc_ every plantation doing tee same way, or a better way. Tee secret of my success is, that I make manuer-suven a special business and never put it aside to do anything else. On my farm, in scnco corners, auid in the woods and branch bottoms, arc millinos of corn and wheat, now in the shape of dead leaves, rich dirt, fee. I am saving it daily and converting it, add it pays me well. The same is on every plantation in Georgia. Let us not ignor the fertility that lies at our own door, and reach out to buy to a ruimous extent from abroad.?Planters Journal. Mitvpt.tno the Throat.?What is the best mode of protecting the throat from colds where a man is very susceptible to them ? The common way of protect ing the throat is to bundle and wrap it up closely, thus overheating and rendering it tender and sensitive, and more liable to colds and inhumation than before. This practice is all wrong, and results in much evil. Especially is this so with children; and when in addition to the muffling of the throat, the extremities are insufficiently clad, as is often the case, the best possible condition are presented for tho prodyction of sore throats, ooughs, croup, and all sorts of throat and long affections. It is wrong to exclude cold aio from tha neck, and if it is overheated a portion of the time, when it is exposed some form of disarrangement of the throat will be apt to occur. The rule in regard to clothing the neck, should be to keep it as cool as comfort will allow. In doing so, you will suffei* mufch less from throat ailments than if you are always scarfol of having a little cold air come in contact with the neck. Any one who has been aocustomed to have his throat muffled should be careful to leave og gradually, and not all at ence.?Herald of Health. Horace Greeley wrote of a will "admitted to probate."
