How to Make Manure.

The following statement is given by Hamp-
shire County, Massachusetts,, farmer in the re-
port of the Agricultural Society of that County
on the best method of making highly fertili-
zng and cheap compost manure:
Immediately after planting in the spring and
after l have used the manure l want, l COM
mence my compost heap for the next season-
Into convenient place, which is hollow in the
angle of the bank wall, on the South end of my
buildings, deposte first load of horse manure.
Over this usually spread the scrapings of my
wood and cellar, especially in May, and all other
substances that will make manure, find about
my buildings, such as the rakings Of the yard,
old leaves &C., making in all another small load,
then over the whole spread about bushe ofash-
es. For the next three or four weeks this heap
receives from the washroom, all the soap suds
and washing water, and from e.house, all the
useless slops and washing of the kitchen, sweep
ings &C., being kept continually moist. In about
four weeks after the first deposite, add another
load of horse mnnure; more loan and sand from
the washing of road drains spread over the horse
manure, and over all layer of wood ashes occa-
sionally adding more during the next four weeks.
This heap, for the succeeding four weeks, receives
as before, all the fertizing substances that ac-
c,,mulate in the washroom and kitchen This
process is continued during the Summer and
Fall, until snow covers the ground, and then |
call my heap finished, only it continues to receive
during the Winter, washing slops, &c.
I claim for this manure the following advan-
tages: First, it is cheap. Horse manure alone is
miserable fertilizer, and this except the wood
ashes, is the only substance of any value that en-
tiers the composition. Combined in the way sta
ted, it helps to from valuable manure. Again.
as a matter Of cleanliness and convenience, this
compost heap is Of great advantage. How often
do we see about farmyards, accumulation ofsub-
stances rendering the premises filthy and insight
ly. The compost heap receives all these other
wise useless accumulations."

From the Ohio Cultiuator.
AUTUMN AND WINTER.

The Autumn is going with its beauty so glowing,
And Winter Ger all things is casting its pail;
The rose tree is fading, no longer It's shading,
The arbor of love or the bright waterfall.
The dahahs are looping, the ripe fruit is dropping,
The corn-leaves are withered and dry on the stalk;
The rng-dove is sighing the grasshopper dying,
The freely no longer enivens the walk.
The forests are changing, the wild birds are ranging
Tohunt out home where the skies are more clear,
The streams deeply flowing, the chilling winds
8 blowing,
All tell us that Winter, cold Winter is near.
Summer's sweets we're tasting, away are all has.
ting,
The days of the peach and the melon are DER;
Thenle us be trying while Autumn is dying,
To lay up for Winter plentiful store,
Work feer and harder to fill up the larder
Then give to old Winter whene'r he shall come,
IA welcome most willing; we'll heed not his chilling
If there is warmth round the hearth-stone and
q plenty at home.
But while we are careful-no cause to be fearful,
Let us think ofthe children of sorrow and wrong,
5Asd give from our treasure, with no stinted mea-
sure,
The good gifts of Heaven to help them along. 3

ACTION OF LEAD UPON WATER-Wc have
lately seen n number of articles discussive of the
question, whether or not the action of lead
pipe upon water rendered the water deleteri-
Gus to health when consumed; an dalthough the
arguments in the negative were ably ingenious,
they were not sufficient to overturn the many
well established facts offered by the other side.-
1t has indeed become so well substantiated that
water corrodes metallic lead, and forms poison
which is always injurious and in many cases fatal,
when taken into the stomach, that no one ought
at this day to dispute it.
The immediate question, however, is--and it
is a very important one-whether or not the wa
ter which is used from public works in towns
and cities, acts sufficiently upon the lead in its
passage from the iron main to the dwelling, as to
endanger health. We shonld say, unhesitating
", that it depended altogether upon the state Of
the water drawn off. If that be fresh from the
iron pipe into the street it would certainly be
pure and harmless; but if it had been remaining
for some tme-and the longer the less pure-it
would undoubtedly be unfit for family consump-
ton.
An incident occurring upon our own premises
will confirm what we say. Wchave leaden res
ervoir for rain water, holding some fourteen thou
sand gallons, which contains water some eight
aud half to nine months in the year. At the
beginning Of December last, fearing the effect of
the frost upon the pipes, the water was let out
as usual, to the amount Of five or six hundred
gallons, which ran into a fish pond, containing
at the time couple of thousand gallons of other
water and the effect was instantaneous upon the
fish. In less than twenty-four hours, the whole
of them-some ten dozen, with the exception of
half dozen-died. Some of them We're catfish
of large size, which are regarded as among the
hardest species. The half were saved only by
removing them from the pond. On one oc-
casion a gold fish was put into tub Of this wa
ter, and it no sooner entered it, than it sprang
over the sides of the vessel and when replaced,
soon after died.
Though these are simple occurrences, they
bear very strongly against the use of leaden
pipes for the conveyance Of water for cooking and
drinking purposes.-Germantown Telegraph.

A rich joke was recently played off upon a
sharp-nosed constable in Western Massachusetts,.
lie started out to arrest person who had often
escaped pursuits, but who, he was informed, was
at that time engaged in neighboring corn field.
The constable, wishing to take him by surprise,
took round about direction, scaling the sheds.
and fences opposite, when squatting, he crawled
stealthyiy along, and at length pounced upon
his victim, clenchng him firmly around the waist

FRIENDS.

BY JAMES MONTGOMERY.
Friend after friend departs
I Who hath not lost friend 3
There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end;
Were this frail world our only rest,
Living, or dying, none were blest.
Beyond the fight of TIME,
Beyond this vale of death,
There surely is some blessed cline,
Where life is not a breath,
: Nor life's affections transient fire,
Whose sparks fly upward and expire.
There Is world above,
Where parting is unknown
A whole eternity of love,
Form'd for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that happier sphere.
Thus star by star declines,
Till all are passed away'
AS morning high and brighter shines
To pure and perfect day,
Nor sink these stars in empty night,
They hide themselves in Heavens own ligl

FArrEN ALL YOUR HoGs.-Our caption is a
piece of advice we give. to our readers with the
understanding Of course, that "hogs" don't mean
little pigs or even land pixies We intend to
designate any swine that will weigh eighty pounds
poor. And we repeat, let all such be flttened
before hog-killing time rolls around. Because
every farmer, nearly has an abundance of corn,
and we feel assured it will pay him better by
being put into hog meat than any other possible
way. 10 convince our agricultural friends of
the soundness of our advice, we will tell them
what we know to be the truth. Pork is now
selling in Kentucky at FIVE ceuts gross, and it is
altogether improbable that it will be offered in
this latitude at any thing under 6 IA cents,
during the coming season. Therefore, the more
of your own meat you fatten, the less heavy will
be the draw upon your cotton money; and an
other season pork may be cheaper. a word to
the wise ought to sutice.-Eagefeld Advertiser'

THE CURcUL1o-A D1scovERY- has
been written on the Curculio-many inquiries
have been made is to its habits, destruction, &C.
We have carefully read every article seen for
years back in our agricultural papels, and in a
large number of exchanges recently, for the rem
edy but have found nothing that could be re-
lied upon.
Having some fine plum trees, the fruit very
large reddish purple variety, that have been bear
ing some eight or ten years, and never maturing
dozen plums year, we have felt much sollc-
tude and anxiety to discover remedy. We
have tried many that have been recommended,
without success. Knowing that trees standing
in hard trodden yard were more apt to mature
fruit than Others differently situated, we resolved
last spring to make an experiment. We there
fore, before the trees were in bloom removed the
soil, which was thickly set in Bermuda grass,
from around each tree to to the distance of
five or six feet, and depth of two to three inches
then built chicken coop around each tree,
and requested our better half to have her chick
ems, &c. fed no where else but in the coops which
had been done; consequently, of chickens, ducks,
turkeys, &c. one brood or another will be found
under the trees waiting for their oft repeated
meals, throughout the day, and ready to pick
up every curculio that dare show bis head above
ground Now mark the result; our trees are
breaking with the finest fruit, just maturing, we
have ever seen. Comment is unnecessary-each
reader can make his own deductions. If, on fur
ther trial the course pursued this year shall prove
an etfcctual preventative, even when applied to
few trees, we shall feel gratiicd at having made
the discovery. and Planter.
