Years passed on-his eager spirit
Gladly watched the dying hours,

Finding bliss ia birds and flowers,

Let me in toby aud slsdness,

Murmuring still the restless heart;

Hen Roost Guano.

Mr.. EDrroR:-Noticing an article in o
former number Of the Farmer about Hen
manure, / take this opportunity to try to
encourage the saving principle among the
agricultural community. Some individuals
are annually paying small sums Of money
for guano to use in their gardens and small
plots, which will in time amount to quite
a SUN. which they nigh, save were they
only prudent enough to keep shelves or boxes
under their poultry roOsts. DO not mean
to say that buying suano is not profitable
investment for tho farmers. Yet do say
that saving their own guano, made on their
own premises, is more profitable. A large
amount Of this powerful manure or fertililiz.
er is allowed to 90 to waste, without being
even thought Of, by those individuals who
are annually paying large sums Of money
for Peruvian Guano, and who think they
cannot do without. i,. It may look like
small business to some, but let them remem-
ber that this mighty globe Is composed Of
small atoms. Well, let ms state soms ez-
perience to those who think that saving The
manure from her roosts is small business
| have ilOek Of about IS hens, and winter
pair Of turkeys.
Last fall my attention was called to the
subject Of saving my hen manure. con-
structed hen roOst in one Of my manure
sheds, by mailing up four pieces Of boards to
the timbers overhead, letting them hang
down abont two feet, and then, about q foot
from the noor overhead, bore holes through
the board and put in poles, and then laid on
poles at right angles with the former ones
This form two poles TO perch upon besides
the ends. | take boards little longer than
the frame, and a. them together, flooring
over the bottom poles as tight as possible.
and let them run out at the ends Us far as
needed to catch what is dropped from the
end poles. In making the perch | laid my
perching poles far enough from tho edgo to
prevent tho dropping over at the edges.
have another on similar principle. IL
will take but couple ofhours at tho most
to make a rOO,t Of this kind, and but a small
outlay Of money for materials, as they can
be made Of old scraps and fragments Of
boards, Of which every farmer has enough.
/ built mine at tho time the ground fro1e
last fall, and shall save six barrels Of the
most powerful fertilizer that exists in the
knowledge OF man. This is encouraging to
me. and falls short Of the amount that
shall have by the FIRST Of may. used this
article in my garden some last year, and
from the estimate that made, in compari-
con with crops that were not manured with
poultry manure, I judged ii to be worth at
leas, one dollsr per busbel. Thus you see
that with an outlay Of perhaps one dollar,
in time and material, shall save this winter
eighteen dollars worth Of manure, which
taking out the dollar for time and material,
leaves me seventeen dollars worth Of prop
erty that has heretofore gone to waste.
Read this, farmers, and go Immediately to
the work, and you will find that ga penny
saved is as good as two pence earned"
