How to Convert Straw into Manure.

Having spent some time in the eoun-
try among wheat growers, and motto
ed numerous huge piles and stacks of
straw, our attention has been called
TO the ways and means best adapted
to transform this product into manure.
Its speedy decomposition is the object
to be attained, where one does not
wish to feed straw to his stock, nor
use it for bedding. it is proper to re-
mark that by many good farmers it is
distributed over land about to be ploW-
ed, and raked into the turroW and COW
cred with earth as the plOW advances.
On clay land this practice isjudlclous;
for straw rottcd in this way renders a
compact soil more pervious to rain
water and saIutary atmospheric inilu-
enccs. On light loans, sandy and
gravellyland, straw covcred with earth
in the manner Indicated is Of doubtful
utility; for being too open already, it
needs more compact fertilizers, and
rolling, or trcading by young stock.
To hasten the decomposition of
straw, care must be taken not to per-
nit the water that falls on the mass
in rain or snow to run off. Dry staW
decays very slowly, as is seen in the
durability Of thachcd roofs on sheds,
barns. and houses. To rot soon, straw
must be kept moist; and the breaking
down of the tissues and stems Of this
and other ceraIs, like large corn stalks,
is promoted by adding either quick
lime, or that which has recently been
Stacked, to the mass. Both lime and
ashes favor the solution OF the hard,
grass-like flint so largely deposited in
the culms of ceraI grasses, which gives
them strength and durability. Water
charged with carbonic has its solvent
power much increased--robbing silic-
ic acid ofits bases to form carbonates.
By tramping straw in a yard with
stock, breaking it up, and adding to it
the liquid and solid droppings Of do
nestle animals, it rots sooner than
when it lies in heap undisturbcd.--
The dung of cattle, sheep, and swine
yields both amonia "a powerful aIkaN
and free carbonic acid, which assist
the rotting of straw. Hence, where
one raises good deal of grain, he
should bed all his stock we'll during
the winter. A correspondent, writing
from Wayne county, Ohio, suggests
that gympeum as well as lime is an
important ingredient in 'rottIng OF
whole straw Such is not the fact
1t improves the manure, but does not
aid in the decomposition ofstraW.

We were much amused, says an cx-
change, by an incident which friend
of ours related to us the other day
A gentleman who had been absent for
a considerable time, and who, during
his absence, had raised pretty luXl-
RANT crop orwhiskers, mouStaches, &c.
visited a relative, whose chiId--an

he was very fond Of The little girl
made no demonstration towards salu-
ting him with a kiss as usual
why, child said the mother, don't
you know your uncle Hiram? Why
don't you give him kiss
why, ma returned the little girl,
with the most perfect simplicity, i

At length from necessity they were

bees have not in a single instance been
troubled.
