SaVe and Use Everything that will FertlIize
We commend the following article from iht
Country Gentleman, to the careful attention n
our readers. There thousands of dollars
wasted annually by the neglect Of farmers 10
take care OF The different manurrs which miqbt
be accumulated upon every farm in the co9n-
try.
Many seem slow in learning this lesson, and
therefore 1t may be repeated great many times
without any fear OF ITS inutilny or inapp!ica-
i bliity. Tins may probably come under the eye
OF many-ot some few at l-ast-who never
attempt to make The best possible use of The
several sources OF fertility around them. Are
'hFFe mol good many who, for example, never
save or use their hen manure?- Are there uot
great many who leave their yard and stable
manure TO be injured more than one-talG by be-
ing exposed TO the nceSSant theiis committed by
the suns, rains and winds?
why does this negligence so extremely pre-
vali In some, probably, from a fear OF troa-
blP, from lazy diSlnchnation to do ANYTHING
'hat can De let alone. In most. perhaps. from
some vague idea that il will not paw, or from the
want OF a hrm and clear impression OF the ac-
tnal value OF what they are allowing TO 90 to
waste Every cultvator of the soil knows that
The markets ol the world, and the wants of the
inhabitants OF the world, are scarcely ever sup +
Pllrd to the jul, and that be ray add to these
SuPPiies and 10 the comfort Of many, as we'll as
10 ms own pecanary income, BY almost every
addliion To his crops which he can procure by
heanS oi manufing and extra cultivation of all
kinds. With such inducements before him
adding 20 the great heap from hich all draw
their supplies, hell ping to save some from suffer
ing and want, and increasing the comforts o(
others, and at the same time auomeutinr his
own Pecunlary reSources-it seems that cu!tiva-
tors OF the soil can be negligent only from not
having given their attention TO these matters.
Let Us take at present the case of hen ma
nnre. Bushels and barrels Of il are allowed 10
90 to waste every year. Now we NAV take for
granted that this manure is not lar behind ra-
make zach pound oI Inano, or oI an ve'tt.
cost about three cents in cash. why Should not
every pound OF hen manure BE- estimated al
lras. two cents? And then again, It gaano
were indiciousiv used, produces an ample re-
turn, often from 100 10 700 per cent.--and II
there is good reason as there IS, 10 eXPect as
good returas from hep manure al the price al
which we have put 1t, how blind to all cousld-
pratious which usually stir mrn to ac'I"i, must
that man D., who allows dollars and doIlafS
worth OF domestic guane 10 90 10 waste, wien
if used II would bring him in more by tens and
hundreds OF times, than the value 10 money II
put at interest
The same train of reasoning would lead to
similar results in regard TO other neglected sour
cps Of fertility. We leave those Interested to
make thrir own application
Meanwhile, We would draw TO conclusion
this appea to those who have hitherto ht'h
lhouuhtl4ss or neglectul. by reminding them
that they NAV even yet do something to make
M f0r past negigence. For Example, the hen
manure. which thrir mere careful and thrifty
neighbors have swept up every week and Pu'
into boxes and barrels, with sfrlnkhng or lay
er Of charcoal on the top OF every fresh S"trP-
ing, they may vet save, though IN less Va'ua-
bic condition. and use fur garden Of The more
remote fields with great advantage to the crops
Of the season now at hand. A barrel would
manure half an acre of corn. 1t should br
mixed with muck. ar s2uie othrr diYiSoi, as,
nndilrted. it would hurn the seed as guano does
/ SINGULAR WHALE FlGnT.-A whale sixty
two feet long, SAYS The Northern (ScolIand) En-
sign, was picked up at sea about three weeks a
%. aud taken ashore at Nybstrr, some twelve
miles from Wick ii seems that the vhalf was
not drified dead from the Greenland Seas, bu'
that hp had fallen in Single combat with another
monster of the deep. The conflict, which took
,lacp about mile aud half from the shore,
and which was witnessed from the land by a
nnrober Of fishermen and others, IS described as
having been protracted and bloody. The Two
monsters kept batting with each other, al tifn'
vith their heads and at times with their faiiS,
raising trpmundous spray for distance OF ma
nv wards. After fierce and Close encounter
thew would each retreat for CONSIDERABLE diS-
tance and after brief rest would again mee'
in collision. approaching each other WITH loco
motive speed at the rate Of twenty or 'h'ril
milsS an hour. On recovering from the stun
ninq effect of such an attack they would agar
resume the fight, rising op into the wafer
sprinujnr up from ten TO twenty feet, ana corr
mo down on each other with fearful violence
MeanYhile the sea for some distance rcaha d
hnnt assumed red color, indicating that an I'M
mensp quantity of blood had been shfd r Q
Two hours the battle was prolonged, at the clos
or which one of The whales became motiohirsS
: and the other retired from the field OF battle
Nax, morning ibp whale referred to was ionn
