From the Maine Farmer.
Making Manure.

Mr.. HolmeS-Ihe manure heap IS SaId
to be the farmers mine. 1t is truly the
source of all his treasures. Were 1t moi for
the wonderful economy Of nature in con.
verling into vegetables and plants the offal.
filth and decayed matter, which is constant.
ly accumulaling around US, the ground
would be ,ardy, in yielding supply ofi,s
production for either man or BEAST
The air would be filled with pestilental
vapor which heaps Of filth thus. collected
would send forth, and disease and death
would be the consequence. But in
the allwise operations of nature it is differ.
emily ordered, and those offensive substan.
ces are made not only useful bu, absolutely
necessary for the use Of man. But what
was going to say is that farmers are not
sufficiently cau'ious 70 improve all the oppor'
tunities within their means to profit by this
advantage bestowed upon them by dame
nature. There are many farmers, yes,
great portion of the farmers in our stale
about whose premises may be found the
materials for large quantities OF the very
best manure untouched and apparently un-
noticed. There are many farmers within
my knowledge who manage their pecuniary
aff,irs to the exactness of half a cenl--who
would shrink from the idea of seeing a
crumb Of bread or an ounce Of meat was i.
led IN The house--who CLEAN the field with
cure that not straw Of grain or lock Of hay
te wasted, who are crirninaly slovenly and
negligent in collecting the materials for max.
ing manures which are every day being
thrown from the house and other ways &C.
cumuIaring around them. Thus leaving
them upon the top Of the ground not only
to be wasted but to generate unwholesomc
gassess which are the seed Of nearly all the
diseases with which a temperate man is at.
| ficted.
| Farmer B. was once guilty in this res.
pect, but now he is fit pattern Of economy
in this respect. He is one Of your close
fsted snug men that never lost a cent in his
life, and supposed that he made every thing
count, until ono day friend called al his
house. and after walking round his premises
asked him how long he had lived there
"Ten years., said b.
"You have los, during that time two hun.
dred dollars" said the other. Impossible
said B., 81 never lost single dollar" 81
should said. perhaps, that you might have
made two hundred dollars more than you
have made from this farm during that
,ime." "How," inquired B. eagerly. By
collecting yonder pile of old bones and the
heap of old ashes and rubbish and saving
all the soap suds and other s|ops that 60
from the house, and converting them into
manure" was the reply. B. for the last
five years has been cautious that not par.
tce Of manure should be losl, and short
time since he told me that he had not The
least doubt tina, the suggestion made by his
friend had added fifty dollars year to his
CT rs.
Let Others try the experiment, and no
reasonable doubt can exist, but they will
meet with similar success. J. II.

NIiilet.

We have often called the attention Of
our readers to the importance of growing
this article for hay, and we would here again
impress it upon them, and especially upon
those of them residing In the South, where
provender is so scarce. 1t delights in a
warm sun and sandy or loamy soil, and
will grow In almost any soil, naturally rich
or ar,ifcially made so; may be put in as
late as the middle Of July, and will yield
from 2 to 4 tons to the acre, according to
the goodness Of the land and nicely OF its
preparation. When we say that it may be
put in as lale as The middle of July, we do
not recommend that the cvllurlst should
delay sowing as long as that; but only men,
,ion il in order that, if circumstances should
occur to prevent an earlier putting in of the
seed, that he may rely on getting crop as
late as that. If we were asked our opinion
rs to the best time for seeding it, we should
say, from the lst of May ill the lst Of June.
The heaviest crop we have ever raised was
sown on the l4'h of May.*
sLast year we raised pretty fair crop sowr
on the 2a.h July. This fact illustrates the ad
yantages Of its culture. Should the crop OF grass
be- short, there will always be time enough aitel
that fact may be ascertained to put in crop O
milet for hay, thus placing it always in the pow
CT Of the farmer to secure full supply Of hay fo
| his stock.
