MANIJRES.

We find in the Onondaga STANDARD, a report of
the doings OF Farmers Conference held at Mar
cellus, in that county, on the 9th Nov from which
we take pleasure in presenting the following ex-
tract.
The meeting having been called to order Mr..
Brown, President of the County Agricultural Soc-
ETY., stated that the subectto be discussed was, the
preparation and application of manures. On
Mr.. B. has ascertaned by careful observation,
that he has saved by his attention to the saving and
preparation of manures, than sufficient to pay
his town and county taxes. His plan is to stable
all his cattle, and to litter his Darn-yard twice
week in winter, with straw, and allow his sheep and
cattle, when out of the stable, to over it, and
tread it in with the manure they deposit on It, He
sprinkes plaster his stable floors, and over his
yard in sufficient quantities to absorb all the voa
tile portion of the manure, there is no smell ar
sing from it whatever. He cleans his yard in the
spring, and places the manure in heap under his
shed, mixing plaster with it pentuy as it Is piled,
except such quantity as he may need for his hoed
crops, which he prefers to take out fresh and pillow
it under. Mr.. Brown finds that plaster applied to
