Economx-Whnts

This is not only the lasc of the house. Gas its derva
ton, okos nomos, imports but is also the law of the
field For, what would the care of the house be-
without equal care in the field or, rather what
would house be withouk field But, by oecono-
my, we mean SAVING And in the law of the field,
(that is farming agricultural economy, that is
sauag is required in the matter Of hauling than
in anything else about farm, not even excepting
the matter of ploughing We mean, the saving of
the labor of horses and oren and their drivers in do
ing all the hauling, carting and wagoning.
Let us see how much is lost in this matter by want
of economy in the usual ordinary, fashionable way
of making and saving and spreading manure
Every single hoe full is hauled t,rce-and of course,
loaded and unloaded twice. It is hauled from the
pond, branch, swamp, other place where
mud is to be had (the best and cheapest and most
abundant thing to manure with in this swampy
country to the stable yard and from thence TO the
field again. Now it should be hauled directly to the
field and be there spread and Immediately ploughed
in. John Taylor, of Caroline, says, in his Arator,
Ga capital book for a farmer,) that manure should
be spread broadcast, wherever it is hauled thick
oxen, at the distance of every ten yards-that is
about Is tons to the acre. Now, no man can make
anything by manurng, who does not put four times
that much of swamp mud to the acre-that is, 200
such ox-loads as Taylor speaks Of By making any
thing, mean, making his land better every year
that is, better in value, worth money-instead
of making it aeorse every year. until like all our
land, it gets to be almost worthless. Manure one
acre instead of four-haul the mud once instead Of
t0ice-keep no manure heap or compost heap at all
plough your cowpens once week--clean out your
horse stables fortnight, and haul and spread
and plough in the dung Immediately, as to lose
nothing by evaporation.

The Compromise Resolutions.

When We published the classified lists of the sever
al votes taken upon the Compromise Resolutions Of
ered in the House Of Representatives by Messrs Jack
son and Hillyer, stated that should soon pub

not Uoting when the votes were taken. Having re-
ceived and published several notes from members eX
planatory of their omission 10 vote, and declaring
what their vote would have been if given, and suppo
sing it probable that other similar explanations may
be made public hereafter, deem it proper not to
give at this time the Of the absent and non-ro-
ting members, but simply 10 state the number OF such
absentees, with their political and sectional classified
ton.
We give also the qrhole number of both parties in
the House, classified politically and sectionally
