Different Ends of Manure. To care for and apply the different kinds of manure produced on any oi?itfary farm to the best .ad vio rage, is no simple matter. French' farniers have a proverb : 4It is not he that sows, bnt he that manures well, that gets the crop/ Not merely to manare largely, bat .'well,' is the problem. The products of the stable, cow-hoase pig-pen and sheep fold differ in xnanu rial value and in composition, and are, therefore, adapted to different uses. Agriculturists of experience have laic down the general rule that horse manare is the most valuable on stiff, clayey soil?; that of cows and oxen most suitable to soils that are very light and dry ; while the contents of the pig-sty and sheep-fold arc very improving to meadow land?, but should be avoided in the cultivation of vege tables for cooking purposes, to which they often impart a rank odor. The genera! sensible practice on an ordinary i farm of mixing the various kinds o? j snanurc in one l?rsp jg ;ju.j to the tac: j that what is lacking in otre kind is supplemented by the qualities of another sort, making a good fertilizer for an average arable soil, in - hieb neither stitT clay nor dry sand predominates, it will pay any farmer, however, to jtudy the special uses of each kind of farm manure. Then he will know where to put manares to get their j greatest value out of them, as well as j bow best to fertilize particular lands! and crops.
