Materials for Making Manure.

Employ team and hand during the
next three months in collecting materials
for forming compost heaps. Should you
do so this year, the benefit will be to appar-
ent to you that you will never afterwards
neglect it. On every farm there are enough
refuse matters to manure the spring crops,
if collected and taken care Of. Every thing
that once had life will produce life again
the mud, weedf, and grass of your marshes
the mud at the heads of your creeks, the
pine skaters and leaves of your woods, the
cleansings of your bitches, the weeds and
bushes which line your fence sides and
corners, the scrapings of your lanes, yards
and headlands, are all fruitful elements Of
reproduction-then why, for the want OF
energy, suffer them to go to waste!

Poultry Houses.

These require frequent cleansing
While we are upon this subject, we will
seize the occasion TO remark, that Dana es'
Inmates the salts contained in the droppings
of single hen in year, as being equal to
those contained in ~ bushels os wheat
We believe his calculation of the kind can
be. The excrements of all kinds fpoultry
are rich in carbonate of lime, phosphate OF
lime, and heterogeneous matter, and, as we
believe, equal in value to guano; then, why
should not the farmer put himself to title
trouble to save them IL one hen can fur
nish the salts for 30 bushels of wheat, 100
would furnish them for 5000 bushels,-so
that, if farmers would attend to this item of
homestead economy, tire would be less
necessity for submitting to the payment OF
exorbant prices for guano, and the share OF
the short for the long ton. Small matters,
by being attended to, grow to be large ones
in time.

MUCK AND TURF

Is made up ola deposit ofvegetable mat.
ter of pealy character, it contains certain
vegetable acid, such as the gallo or fannie
acid which prevents its decomposition. If
this be the case, common ashes will be the
best substance to apply. By making lay
er, say foot thick, and then spreading on
a layer of ashes two or three inches deep,
and so on alternately, the alkali from the
ashes will be diflused through the whole
mass by the rains in the course of the sea-
son. flashes cannot be obtained, common
potash may be dissolved in water, and the
heap wet with it. Lime works very we'll.
but it does not neutralze the acid so rapid
ly as the ashes. Muck, made up of leaves
Of trees aud other vegetable ingredients
washed in, does not contain these acids in
any considerable quantities, and if put in
warm situation, decomposes readily, and
thus forms good manure Two bushels of
ashes of ordinary strength, will answer to a
common cart load ofmuck, or bushel OF
good quick lime lift has been exposed
to the action of frost duriug theswinter, you
will find it more easily pulverized, and OF
of course the ashes or lime will act more
readily upon it. These mucks vary much
in their qualities-Nc Farmer.

Biography, intended as letter Of coincidence
to Mrs. Taylor, relict of the late President
The whole work was done with pen and
ink, no sheet of paper five feet long by
seven broad. 1t contains Is poetical in
scrptions, in as many different languages,
and likeness of General Taylor, in which
the outlines ofthe face and whole person
are formed of written portions of the blog'
raphy and sentiments of the deceased.
His hair is composed of the following
words, so disposed as at little distance to
appear quite natural. SIN the battle field,
amidst the sound of cannon, the drums and
trumpets, the hurras of the siege and the
signs of the wounded, my locks became
whtened."
The eyes, viz My glance was ever
fo.ward-to the Father in Heaven, and for
the Republic"
The nose is composed of the following
words breathed always the air Of lib
erty-ln any other air could not exist"
The mouth is composed from his last
words :" have always done my duty. | am
not afraid to die"
The neck: Not proud, save only in be-
ing son of the Republic, and in its SER
vice"
The shoulders: With pleasure have
borne the great duties with which the nation
has honored me-"
The rest of portrait is filed up in sim

of Washington, Tell, Frederick Barbarosa,

The whole is signed by the President g.
