HINT8 ON AGRICULTURE. Home-Made Alanare-Its Application. . Manure, in the largest sense of the term, is anything that contains any of the elementary principles necessary to tho growth of plants; and the more of these contained m any given substance, the butter will it answer tho pur? pose of a manure. Potassa and its salts, espe? cially their nitrates ; lime and its saith, espe? cially sulphate and phosphate, aro among the most important anim.il ingredients that may "be termed- fertilizers. Besides these, we ?nd in the composition of different vegetables, sul? phur, iron, alumina, magnesia, silica, nitro? gen, etc., &c. Now, when we examine a manure heap composed of the excrements of animals, in a state ot fermentation or de? composition, wc find that ammonia is one of the most prominent ingredients. Ammo? nia is jr~compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, and is developed by the pi occas of fermenta? tion. These ingredients being important ele? ments of nut ri i ion, ammonia becomes an im? portant object of attention-a very slight at? tention to it will suffice to convince us of ?ts volatility. It can also bc shown to have a great affinity for water, which is able to hold large quantities of it in solution. Tho tendency, then, ia a pile of fermenting animal excrements, is to give off to the air nitrogen and hydro? gen, in the form of ammonia, in large quan? tities. Then wo at once perceive a source of waste of valuable fertilizing materials. The ammonia that thus passes off is not lost, it is tiue, to the general purples of vege? table productiou. as it must sooner or lat .T be returned to the earth in tho water that de? scends tro na the clouds; bnt when it his once passed to the atmosphere it becomes common property, and will help the fields of my neigh? bors, or the forests of the mountains, equally with my owu fields. It becomes, then, a mat? ter of much importance to husband this mate? rial, and retain it for my own exclusivo use. To do this, several conditions must bo known and attended to. In the first placo, a certain amount of heat and moisture are necessary for its development; consequently, during tho"low i temperature of winter, thore is a very small loss to the manure heap from its escape. So also iu summer; if tho requisite moisture 1 be withheld it canuot be generated. Then, to 1 secute thc manure heap from lose from tb:s j source, it should al wa j s bo kept woll under ' cover. But with,all tho precautions that may 1 be taken, there will linn bo moisture enough 1 to admit ot its reneratiou, even though it bc . slow, whenever the temperature is high. Tuen 1 we must, if we would prevent loss absolutely from this source, attend to other precautions and measures to prevent its escape. Wc will 1 g" remise that animal excrements should always i e kept under cover. * Tben, to prevent loss from the escape of am- < monia, they should be duly mixed with swamp ' much, drift materials, or even common soil 1 from the road-side; and every time that tho 1 heap of excrements receives a covering of any J of these materials, it should be slightly spriuk- ' led over with gypsum (sulphate of inn?)'. This latter article possesses the property of 1 causing ammonia to adhere to the soil, instead ' of flying off into the air; and hence, by its use, 1 it becomes fixed. Ibis method, so valuable in 1 retaining in tho heap this valuable ingredient, ' ammonia, bea tats other advantage-that it f greatly inoreases thc siza of the pile. t This valuable property of gypsum (plaster of s Paris) makes it an indispensable article at t every stable. It should aiways be kept on f hand, and the floors of a'ables should ba dost- c ed with it at every cleaning. It sh ou lu be used T in every compost heap that contains the excre- ' ments of animals ot? tho elements o; ammonia ^ in any form; as also for a surface dressing in r the spring months for small grain and grass, as u .well as in tho hill tor corn, potatoes, and garden E vegetables, because of 'ita prc?rr'v of ab Btractug ammonia from the atmosDhcri 3 and fibing it to ? jfc lw * considered is the best methedof . Applying -panure to the toil and.thc crops. .Some have contended that as ammonia coasti- j tuted the most valuable ingr?dient of stable mantre. tho latter should uever be applied to tho surface of land only aa the plowr?an 1B ready to follow, and torn it immediately under, 1 so tbat its ammonia cannot havc> an opportu? nity to escapo. U?doubte/iiy, ir we had no method of fixing ammonia to the soil, this me- . thod of applying ma-iare would bo preferable to its surface application. But if the precau? tions above referred to bo-duly observed in the management of the compost heap, ita applica? tion to the surface will be found to yield tho most satisfactory results, particularly for crops of small grain and for meadow. And for these , crops the early spring will undoubtedly bo found to be the most favorable time for its application. .. i>>r corn, potatoes and garden crops gener- 1 ally, it will be found better to mix the manure 1 well into the soil, but even here not more than t to a depth of Ihrer or four inches. j Let the c round be broken deeply in tho lat- ? ter part of the lall, and lie exposed t a the ac- , tion of frost during tho winter, aud as soon as ' the ground is in condition for receiving tho seed in the spring, let the manure be applied ' to the surface, and well mixed m to the depth above indicated with a cultivator. The ground may then be furrowed and planted. The practico of throwing fresh stable man? ure over the surf ice of tho sro and, after seed? ing to small grain io autumn, or imho early spring months, whether on grain or grass crops, cannot but bo at tentlud with moro or lead loss or ammonia, and ii therefore bad economy. But if it has been mixed with soil in the heap, and has been properly treated With gypsum, there can bo no objection to this manner of its application. Kit bas not been thus treatod iu tho heup it should never he applied to thc surface of land without being accompa? nied with a lib aral use o' gypsum. Webavo seeu a crop of over eighty bu3bcle Of corn produced from un aero of land that has been completely exhausted, bv a libural appli? cation of manure that has boen thus treated with drit band and plaster. If we have to d'il with land that has been in a measure exhausted, wa cannot rely ou the < barn-yard alone for fertilizing materials, if wo depend upon the production of such a firm for the sustenance of animals: because its beauty production would not enable us to heep onough of animals to afford the amount of excremonti tiooa matter that would be demanded by the farm; and consequently we could only reclaim to a state of fertility a small portion at a time; and also consequently thore would be groat Toss in the time required to bring up such a farm. In this oase we may profitably resort to the use of guano, which ia rich iu ammonia, and of bone pnosphat s, to enable us to get tho soil into a conditiou that wiil produce a good crop of clover; and wheiiever we shall h ive ad? vanced thus far TO may consider tho dead point as paaseiI. Bono phosphates may become nec? essary as an occasional application on many faims, just as lime may becomo necessary to a soil originally poor iu calcarious material; but with these exceptions, tho farm itselt bhould supply all the feriiliziug materials ii ever need. Barn-yard manure cati be oasilv and cheaply made in abundance, and of goodqual - ty, if all the conditions above indicated bo at? tended to. This, tuen, should be the farmer's main reliance; and every available substan e should thus be husbauded tor tuc use of the farm. Xbo bu bit of soiUusr animals, or confining them in sheds to reccivu their given food in Bummer may bo undo to contribute, not only to tho clieap subsist? ence and well-being of tho animal, but also to the rapid production of valuable fertilizing ma? terials for the use ct" thc larm; tho hair und feathers of slaughtered animals aud poultry should be carefully eposited in tho compost heap, as beint; especially r.cb in nitrogen. All tho bones o< animate that die, or that are slaughtered and consumed on the furni, after having beeu reduced by a liberal applicatiou of wood ashes should bu deposit OJ. iu thc com? post heap, aa being rich iu phosphate ot lime, and thus adapted to tho production of grass, rich iu this material, and thus able to contri? bute to the growt.i of bone iu future animals.

Close and Exciting Content between two First-class Ucean Steamships- The Re? sult. The great trial of speed between thc steam? ship City cf Paris, of the Inman line, and tho Bussia, of the Cunard linc, which has just taken place, has been one of tho closest con? tests of the kind on record. Tbe race was won by the City of Paris by just forty-five minules a result which attests tbe wonderful perfection and power which has boen attained in tho man? ufacture of steamship machiucry. We copy from the New York Commercial Advertiser tho following particulars of tho race : Tho steamers Rusria and City of Puris ar rived at Queenstown early on tho morning of the 19th inst., the Russia at G:30 and the City of Paris at 5 o'clock. The Citv of Parts lefo her dock in New Yorl on the 10th inst-, at 1:45 P. H., and the Russia at 2:30 P. M.

The vessels ar ? of iron, and both were constructed in Glis cro w, the City of Paris m 1866, and the Russia in the following year. The motive power of the former consists of two horizontal trunk engines, andsheis shipriggod; the latter bas one direct acting engine, and is rigged as a bark.

The loman line, to which the City ot Paris belongs, is anxious 'to secure the British mail contract, aud as a;ineans to that end, are endeavoring to show' a schedule of j shorter passages than tho Cunard Company, which has always enjoyed tho mail carrying between this port anti Liverpool. The result of this run te JLiverpcol, although' I Q showing quite sufficient to settle ail side beti), I " is not enough to mark any difference in tho speed of the two steamer?, but it will intensif?" tho contest for supremacy between the com? petitors tor tho British mail Bulwidj, which the law enjoins shall be given to thozet steam? ers that make tbe shortest trips across the Atlautiti. As we have received but thc bare foot of | their arrival, we cannot tell whether tho stearn srs had to depend upon their engines entirely, I ?| sr were enabled, by favorable winds, to usc their sails. It tho latter, tho City of Paris had Ul advantage, as being ship-rigged. sho could spread tn >re canvass than her competitor.
