HOW TO CONVERT STRAW INTO
MANURE.

Having spent some time in the coun-
try among wheat-growers, and noticed
numerous huge piles and stacks of straw,
and means best adapted to transform
this product into manure. Its speady
decomposition is the object to be ataiE-
ed, where one does net wish to feed straw
to his stock, nor use it for bedding. It
is prope to remark that by many good
farmers it is often distributed over land
about to be plowed, and raked into the
furrow and covered with earth as the
pillow advances. On clay land, this plan
is j%udicious; for str"w rottcd III this way
renders n compact soil more precarious
to rain water and salutary atmospheric
influences. On light loans, sandy or
grave.ly land, straw covered with earth
in the manner indicated is of doubtful
utility for being too open already, it
needs more compact fertilizers, and roll
ing, or treading by sheep or young stock.
To hasten the decomposition of straw,
care must be taken not to permit the
water that falls on the mass in rain or
snow to run off. Dry straw decays very
slowly, as is seen in the durability of
matched roofs or sheds, barns and
houses. Torot soon, straw must be kept
moist and the breaking down of the
tissues and stems of this and other ce-
reals, like large corn-stalks, is promoted
by adding either quick-lime, or that
which has been recently Stacked, to the
mass. Both lime and ashes favor the
solution of the hard, glass-like flint so
largely deposited IN the culms of cereal
grasses, which gives them strength and
durability. Water charged with carbo-
mic has its solvent power much increased
-robbing silicic acid of its bases TO form
carboDates.
By tramping straw in a yard with
stock, breaking it up, and adding to it
the liquid and solid droppings of dOmes-
tic animals, it rots SOONER than when it
lies in a heap undisturbed. The dung
of cattle, sheep and swine yields both
am. monia (apowerful alkali)and freecar-
bonic acid, which assists the rotting of
straw. Hence where one raises a good
deal of grain. he should bed all his stock
during the winter. A correspondent,
writing from Wayne county, Ohio, sug-
gests that gypsum as well as lime is an
important Ingredient in " the rotting of
whole straw" Such n not the fact
1t improves the manure, but does not
aid in the decomposition of straw

There is a sacredness IN tears. They

overwhelming grief, of deep contrition,
of u~nspeakable love. If there were any
arguments to prove that man is not
mortal, l would look for it in the strong
conYulsiye emotions of the breast, when
the soul had been deeply agitated, and
the fountains of feeling are rising, and
when the tears are gushing forth in
